Lazy Sundae - Manchester Arndale

About Lazy Sundae - Manchester Arndale

Tucked into the middle of the Arndale, this is an easy stop when everyone needs a sit-down and something sweet. The draw is the ice cream — an unusual, colourful line-up like mango mochi, lychee berry and Korean banana with sesame — and the staff are genuinely good with indecisive children, happy to talk you through flavours and sometimes offer a taste before you commit. There's a fair amount of seating and a kids' menu and high chairs, though at peak shopping hours tables go fast, so a weekday afternoon is calmer. Bingsu is worth ordering to share between two or three. Prices sting a little at around £4.50 a scoop, and the sweeter milk teas divide opinion, but the taro latte and Thai tea have their loyal fans. Chilled music makes it feel surprisingly unhurried for a shopping centre.
