It's been a long time coming, but this June will see the grand unveiling of Pollen’s second site. Having built up a strong reputation for its sourdough and viennoiserie on Islington Marina in Ancoats, the bakery’s new flagship pastry kitchen and café will open its doors at the Kampus neighbourhood on Thursday, June 9.
Occupying a 2,600 square foot unit on the ground floor of Kampus, the new pastry spot features a ‘glass gallery’ wall - designed by local interior design studio No Chintz - giving diners the chance to watch Pollen’s talented pastry chefs in action. Here, they’ll be preparing everything from pastries and cakes to sourdough loaves.
Pollen started its life underneath Manchester Piccadilly's railway arch in 2016 and was founded by Hannah Calvert and Chris Kelly. By 2018, they had outgrown the archway outpost and moved to a bigger location at Cotton Field Wharf in Ancoats, located beside New Islington Marina.
