Best crossiant ever - Edit
I have very high standards for crossiants and pain au chocolats - the crossiant I had from this place was the best I’ve ever had. It had a sweet glaze so didn’t need any jam etc. The pain au chocolat was also very good but not as mind blowing as the crossiant! Be warned though- they don’t seem to stock much of the vegan stuff, and it sells fast. We got there at 8:30am one day and 8:45 the next day, there were no pain au chocolats left either time and we got the last crossiants on the second day.

Fantastic vienoisserie - Edit
The pastries are great. I was a touch disappointed only three things were vegan (croissant, pain-au-choc, cruffin) but they were all delicious. To my surprise the croissant was a little sweet (I think a glaze) and so I worried the other items would be super sweet. Happily they were not. I prefer less sweet baked goods, so fans of supreme sugar should be prepared for disappointment!
Read moreI arrived at opening time and there was hardly any queue; I was served in five minutes. I didn’t get coffee but did buy a seeded loaf which I have yet to eat. I’ll update the review if it isn’t good; it looked and felt delicious.
Pros: Excellent lamination on the pastry, Reasonable sized pastries
Cons: Price is high, but to be expected

Unmatched vegan croissants - Edit
Such a great selection of vegan pastries that look and taste just as good as the classics. No more expensive either which was a big win for me. I had their vg pain au choc which was chocolatey and flakey and straight up delicious. My non vegan pals looked on in jealousy (rightly so)
Read morePros: Great selection of vegan alternative pastries, Same price as the originals, Taste and texture are 10/10
Cons: Long queue time (but acceptable given the quality)

Companio Bakery - Edit
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE vegan croissants, pain au chocolat, and baked goods. You won’t find a croissant or pain au chocolat this good in London, wow, I’m just so surprised and impressed by this place. It’s also neat that you can see the staff baking everything given the open concept. This is definitely my #1 in Manchester! Don’t miss it! 🥐

The best vegan croissant in Manchester! - Edit
Companio honestly do one of the best vegan croissants I’ve ever had. They only offer a VG croissant, pain au chocolate and a cinnamon muffin/bun option but simple at its bed. Super crispy and flaky with a sweet coating, 10/10!

There weren't many options. The tomato focaccia was very soggy. Vegan pain au chocolat was good.
Price: 3/5
Standard for the city centre.
Service: 4/5
Staff were nice but it seemed very hectic behind the counter.
Pros: Get to watch bakers at work
Cons: Not many vegan options
