About

Speciality coffee, rotating sweet pies and an all-day brunch menu make Idle Hands a popular Northern Quarter stop; vegan choices include a fry-up, avocado on toast and changing pie flavours. The roomy, high-ceilinged cafe has outdoor tables, though weekend visits can be busy and some reviewers find the seating cramped or the £16 vegan fry-up pricey.
