POD (Post Office Deli) appeared one day, all shiny and new, on Albert Road in Levenshulme. And about blummin’ time. It’s is not just a deli, it’s a cafe too with indoor and outdoor seating. They serve quality organic food, much of which is homemade, along with Fair Trade tea and coffee.
We stopped by one weekend and enjoyed a meat-eater’s breakfast – fried sausages from W H Frost’s in Chorlton, bacon, free range eggs, tomato, toasted Barbakan bread and a mug of tea. It didn’t disappoint and we couldn’t resist taking away a loaf of the bread, some tabbouleh salad and a couple of slices of baked cheesecake.

The cafe was busy from when we arrived until we left and seems to have become very popular, very quickly. It’s easy to see why. There’s nowhere else in Levenshulme where you can buy this kind of quality, freshly-prepared food. Service is good too and everyone we spoke to was friendly and cheerful.
If you don’t have time to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee (hand blended on the premises) and take advantage of the free wifi, then grab some take-out. There’s a good variety of Suma foodstuffs, homemade cakes, sandwiches, wraps, soups and house chutneys.
