00:00Hello and welcome to Manchester World. My name is Theo Houston Betts and today I'm out in Manchester

00:03as another part of our trying to find the best coffee in Manchester series.

00:07Trying to big up some of the best independent cafes that we have in the city.

00:11And today we're going to Bozzy B. Now we've been fortunate enough during this series to already

00:15go to a bunch of brilliant independently owned businesses including places like Nibbles and

00:19Factory Coffee but this is one of the most impressive stories that you will find in

00:23Manchester because Bozzy B was set up back in 2019 and is run by a pair of sisters out of

00:29Wilmslow. This is their second store across Greater Manchester and it has been a massive success.

00:35The quality of the baked goods are startling and the staff are brilliantly friendly. Here's what

00:39you need to know. So here we are inside Bozzy B. Now and for those not familiar with the story it

00:45started off back in 2019 with a love of baking from one of the owners Millie who due to her love of

00:51baking started throwing together brilliant cookies and brownies and selling them at local artisan

00:55markets. And then during COVID online orders exploded. Her sister Lydia joined the team

01:00and now they have two stores. One here in the centre of Manchester and one over in Wilmslow.

01:04So it really is a homegrown independent business from right here in Manchester and they do these

01:09most amazing brookies, cookies, brownies and great coffee too. So I have Kinder Brookie in front of me

01:17which looks ridiculous as well as a Fomfetti ice cream and the typical flat white as well.

01:22So we'll give all this a try and let you know what we think. So there you are. That's what it looks

01:27like there. They do microwave the cakes as well before you get given them so it's perfectly warm

01:33with the ice cream. It's just ridiculous.

01:40The idea of a brookie was actually pretty unfamiliar to me before the coronavirus pandemic and so it does

01:45feel as though Millie and Lydia have got on at exactly the right time but of all the ones I've

01:49tried this is one of the best. It's this amazing ball of just sweetness and brilliance and who doesn't

01:55love Kinder Bueno as well. Frankly it's pretty amazing to me that it's taken millions of years of

02:00evolution to get to this point and I'm absolutely convinced that all that evolution was purely to

02:05put these two things on a plate together. Now obviously this is a series about coffee so I've

02:10got to say that the flat white here is pretty bang on too. It's a thoroughly enjoyable cup and while

02:16it's a little bit hot for hot coffee today we couldn't break the street. So the coffee is astounding,

02:21very very good quality. A lot of times with bakery places the coffee can be a bit of an afterthought

02:25really and that absolutely is not the case here. The menu is fairly affordable certainly for the

02:30center of Manchester and with the quality of cakes that you're getting it's absolutely worth coming

02:35along and giving it a try particularly to support an independent business. But hey don't just take it

02:40from me one of the customers had something to say. Tell them. Guys the best cookies in my life to be honest

02:46with you. Yeah sorted. So I don't want to ruin this by letting it get too cold although to be honest it

02:50feels pretty impossible to ruin it. So that's gonna be it from me. Thank you very much for watching

02:55and follow Manchester Worlds for more. We'll see you again soon.
