Misu Tiramisu, the popular tiramisu brand that became a huge hit via its Manchester Christmas Market pop up, is set to open its first bricks and mortar cafe in Stretford town centre in summer 2026.
The cafe menu will include the different varieties of their handcrafted tiramisu with a varied menu of flavours, including Classic, Chocolate, Pistachio, Biscoff, Mango and Lemon and exclusive new flavours including Strawberry Matcha, White Hazelnut, and Intenso. Hot drinks, such as speciality Italian coffee, including espresso, cappuccino and latte made with premium Arabica beans, and a savoury offering of pastries, and delicious lunch options including freshly baked focaccia sandwiches will also be served. There will be a mix of seating and takeaway options, with an open counter where customers can see tiramisu being made.
Following a trip to Milan, Aleem and Aishah, the owners of Misu Tiramisu, were inspired to bring back the flavoured tiramisu to the UK and spent a year refining the recipe before launching at their first market in their hometown of Sale. They then launched to huge success at the Manchester Christmas Markets in 2025 and Manchester Arndale in March.
Aleem, Co-founder of Misu Tiramisu, said:
“We’re incredibly excited to be opening our first bricks and mortar cafe in Stretford town centre. It’s a big milestone for us, and we can’t wait to create a destination where people can sit down and really enjoy the experience of our range of freshly made tiramisu.. More than anything, we want to build somewhere that brings people together and becomes a genuine part of the local community - see you soon, Stretford!”
Chris Houghton, Retail and Leisure Director from Bruntwood added:
“The Misu Tiramisu cafe will be a great addition to Stretford town centre. The team’s unique offering adds a fresh and vibrant concept to the area and we can’t wait for everyone to try it and enjoy their great hospitality.”
Cllr Liz Patel, Trafford Council's Executive Member for Economy and Regeneration, said:
"We are delighted that the Misu Tiramisu cafe has decided to open in the new-look Stretford town centre. The Council is committed to improving all our town centres. This will be a great addition to the shops and hospitality in the Stretford redevelopment."
