CREAM have picked the best of the bottomless and created a menu that will suit everyone that wants to go hard on the espresso martinis at the weekend.
We all love a good bottomless brunch, but Coffee Rules Everything Around Me (CREAM) in Halifax are taking instagrammable food and drink to the next level.
Long gone are the days of waiting for weeks to get your bottomless fix in Halifax only to find a disappointing menu and lack of boozy drinks.
CREAM have essentially taken the best of the bottomless and produced a single menu with everything you need for ninety minutes of booze and brunch.
Did we mention it's only £24 for the entire bottomless brunch too?
On the menu, there are all of your lunchtime favourites, including Avo Smash, Creamy Mushroom and their Nutella and Strawberry Pancakes.
The carefully baked sweet pancakes are carefully flipped and then drizzled with Nutella and icing sugar: a winning combination for a weekend brunch if you ask us.
As for the drinks menu, the bottomless brunch options don't just cater for the cocktail-lovers, there's actually something for everyone.
Whether you're a lager drinker or prefer Prosecco on a night out, you can have either as part of this all-you-can-drink experience.
Of course, this doesn't mean that cocktails should be left off the menu and CREAM have just enough summer-inspired drinks to make you feel as if you're on holiday.
Choose from Mojitos, Aperol Spritz, Bloody Mary cocktails, as well as CREAM's famed Espresso Martinis.
If you have time, you might even get round to sampling all of the drinks: just make sure you place your order before the ninety minutes has run out.
The bottomless brunch menu is available at multiple sittings over the weekend: grab a seat between 10am and 2pm on Friday - Saturday or 10am - 12pm on a Sunday and get your best brunch team down to this Halifax-based bar.

The hidden Leeds bakery serving giant cheese twists, pickle sausage rolls and chocolate focaccia
Clementine Hall
This spot in the city is baking up some weird and wonderful creations.
But you'll have to act fast if you want to get your hands on them, as it's only open one day a week for all your doughy desires.
Introducing Fold, a focaccia-focused bakery by the talented team behind The Cheesy Living Co.
Rewind to this time last year and with three restaurants flourishing across Leeds, the team needed a space to bake all their bread and sweet treats in-house to supply to sites.

And this is where Fold came in, located underneath the arches of Brussels Street on the outskirts of the city centre - it may take a while to find this spot but once you have, it'll be worth it.
And they're making some of the most inventive bakes that we've seen.
Of course there'll always be a focaccia on offer, with flavours ranging from crispy chilli oil, sesame and spring onion to kimchi, cheese and pistachio.

And it's not just savoury focaccia, you'll even find gooey chocolate and banana focaccia as well as Biscoff waffle focaccia....yep, seriously.
Elsewhere they specialise in gigantic footlong cheese twists with more crispy bits than soft, as well as chorizo and cheese stuffed sausage rolls and a range of freshly baked bagels for you to go home and smear in your cream cheese of choice.

Some seriously spectacular specials have been the gochujang cookies and the 'pickle roll', basically like a sausage roll but with...pickles.
It seems there's really no boundaries for where these bakes will go, and you can guarantee that every visit will be different than the rest.
Only open on Saturdays from 10am - 1pm, Fold are changing the baking game. Pop in and say hello, you won't be disappointed.
