Bruncho Café Expands in Manchester, Bringing Fresh Flavors to the Northern Quarter

Exciting news is brewing in Manchester as popular all-day brunch café Bruncho announces the opening of its second location in the vibrant Northern Quarter. Scheduled to open in June 2026, this new site promises to bring a contemporary design and a diverse menu to the neighborhood, revitalizing the space formerly occupied by the Feel Good Club.

A New Opportunity for the Community

Bruncho has made a significant mark since its first opening in Deansgate during the summer of 2024. Known for its hearty Full English breakfasts, innovative Turkish eggs, and attention-grabbing breakfast pizzas, the café has become a local favorite. The second site will be housed in a spacious 4,378 square foot ground floor area, transforming Hilton House into a new dining destination.

Support for Local Culture

The original Feel Good Club was celebrated for its inclusivity and support of the queer community, hosting a variety of significant events until its closure in September due to the ongoing hospitality crisis. Bruncho aims to not only fill the void left by this beloved venue but also enhance the area with a new focus on community engagement through events and private dining opportunities.

Bringing a Fresh Perspective

Omer Umut Mutlu, owner of Bruncho, expressed enthusiasm for the new location, stating that it allows for more covers and events, enhancing the vibrant culinary scene of Manchester. “We’re excited to bring something fresh to the neighborhood,” he said, emphasizing the café’s commitment to delivering a unique atmosphere that draws patrons from afar.

A Vision for the Future

The opening of Bruncho’s second location not only fills a significant space but also marks the completion of a full refit of the Hilton House building, now fully occupied and ready to serve the community. Paul Shakeshaft, Head of Property Management at CERT Property, remarked on the importance of Bruncho in enriching the community life and contributing positively to the neighborhood's vision for growth and success.

The anticipated launch of Bruncho in the Northern Quarter symbolizes a blend of culinary delight and community spirit, as the café seeks to bring a new focal point to this lively part of Manchester. As the opening date approaches, locals eagerly await the opportunity to enjoy what Bruncho has to offer.
