Sips&Dips

Nestled along the vibrant stretch of 994 Stockport Road in Manchester, Sips&Dips is more than just a café - it’s a flavorful experience built around culture, comfort, and creativity. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is not your run-of-the-mill brunch spot. The space carries a warm, inviting aura that reflects its identity as a women-owned business, and that same personal touch is evident in everything from the décor to the carefully crafted menu.

Sips&Dips knows how to cater to both the traditional and the adventurous palate. If you're starting your day, few things feel more comforting than their Shakshuka Breakfast - perfectly poached eggs in a rich tomato and pepper sauce, served with warm bread that’s just begging to be dipped. But if you lean toward British classics, their English Breakfast delivers all the hearty goodness you’d expect, with a little twist of house flair.

Now let’s talk dips - because they’re not just in the name for fun. The Mutabbal (a smoky, silky aubergine dip) and Grape Leaves are rich in Levantine flavor and pair beautifully with a glass of Rose and Lime Drink. It’s refreshing, floral, and unlike anything you'd find at a standard café. Craving comfort in a cup? Their Pumpkin Soup hits the mark with a creamy texture and delicate spice that feels like a hug in a bowl.

Whether you’re grabbing a bite solo or gathering with friends, the café offers flexibility with outdoor seating, kerbside pickup, drive-through, and no-contact delivery-proving they’ve thought of every lifestyle need. The wheelchair-accessible car park further reinforces their inclusive approach to hospitality.

Sips&Dips is also a paradise for drink lovers. Their Turkish Coffee packs a bold punch, and the Karak Chai offers a milky, spiced indulgence that fans of South Asian tea will appreciate. For something light and lively, the Mojito and Iced Coffee keep things cool-ideal for a Manchester afternoon. Tea aficionados will appreciate the broad selection, especially the Arabic Tea with Mint and Shay Belnanaa (Tea with Mint), both brewed with care and served beautifully.

But the hidden gems don’t stop there. One of the quiet standouts is their Homemade Cinnamon Roll-soft, sticky, and comforting. The kind of treat that begs to be savored slowly, preferably alongside a strong cup of their house coffee. There’s also the Man’Oucheh Muhammara, a lesser-known Levantine flatbread slathered with a spicy, nutty red pepper spread that’s both addictive and unforgettable.

Another charming detail? Sips&Dips leans into a slow-living vibe, ideal for solo diners who want to linger with a book or remote workers looking for a cozy corner. It’s no surprise the café is popular for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, each time of day offering its own set of comforting, flavorful options that reflect a menu designed with intention.

For those on the go, convenience meets quality thanks to their takeaway and delivery services, making it easy to enjoy top-tier café fare from home or the office. And for anyone planning a low-key dine-in experience, the welcoming table service and inviting setting make you feel like you’ve found a second home in the heart of Manchester.

In a city filled with cafés and quick bites, Sips&Dips has managed to carve out a distinct space by marrying global flavors with homely familiarity. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick Beans on toast or something more layered like the Muhammara flatbread, it’s a place that respects the classics while embracing the new-one dip, one sip at a time.
