Cafe à Bloc think that cycling and coffee belong together, and admire the cycling history that their current abode holds. So, you'll find that cycling is firmly embedded in the nature of Cafe à Bloc, which is open every day of the week, from 8am on weekdays, and 9am on weekends. This neighbourhood cafe serves everything from breakfast and brunch to nibbles and cocktails, bringing the people of Altrincham the best of daytime dining and evening supper clubs.
For brunch, you'll have a great variety of delicious dishes to choose from. The seasonal porridge bowl is worlds away from your classic microwave oats, with coconut and chia seed porridge, star anise poached pear, apple compote, toasted nut crumble and cinnamon. Feeling a bit naughty? Order the dirty doughnut, with a sausage patty, bacon, fried egg, American cheese, all served on a fresh glazed doughnut. If you’re tired of the full English, order the Colombian breakfast, complete with two arepas stuffed with cheese and spring onion, two eggs, slow roasted tomato, sliced avocado and pickle. There's always a soup of the week, and a delicious seasonal French toast, so be sure to check those out.
In the evening, order from the burger menu, which begins with transparency about what ingredients you’ll find used in your food. The sauces, for example, are made from chillies and jalapeños that ferment for two months before being blended into hot sauces and mayo, while the beef is all 30 days dry aged from Frost Butchers, locally farmed in the fields of Cheshire. There aren't a huge variety of different burgers on the menu – a cheeseburger, bacon cheeseburger, dirty doughnut burger, vegan option, and plain burger. Simple! But, Cafe à Bloc does them incredibly well. You can level up your meal with waffle fries tossed in burger seasoning, and a chocolate ganache and vanilla custard shake.
