After a failed attempt to get breakfast/brunch at The Bagelry in Chinatown, we decided to give The…read moreCow&Co Cafe a try instead. At the 'other end' of the street, it felt like a long walk to get there (especially with a growing hunger after a few drinks the night before) but as soon as we found it we knew we'd made the right choice. The location almost feels like a cul-de-sac, with a dog grooming salon next door and plenty of prams being pushed past. This meant it was a more relaxed vibe than elsewhere, and we easily got a table for two in the sunny window. There is a mezzanine level also, but no table service, which is worth considering if you or someone in your party struggles with stairs. The menu is on a blackboard, with changing specials, and plenty of proper coffee and tea on offer. Orders are taken at the small bar and processed in the same spot, meaning service isn't the quickest, but we were in no rush and everything was done with a smile. I went simple with a cheese and ham croissant, served warm, and a cup of tea. Josh's sandwich was much more substantial and it's fair to say I had food envy; mixed beans, peppers and aubergine on fresh wholemeal bread. Needless to say, with this delicious food and sunny window spot, we didn't really want to move! In no rush, we also shared a chocolate chip shortbread as we finished our drinks. A lovely start to our Saturday.

I'd had a few pints the night before and bacon was on my mind and tbh I was starving anyway so basically I tried to eat "all the food" My bacon butty was quite possibly one of the simplest but finest things I'd ever eaten - especially at £2.50 and followed up with a bowl of tasty banana and nut porridge, I felt like I was getting my nutritional balance just about right with this double header. Coffee was great and I really enjoyed their peppermint rooibos tea which I'd never had before - really tasty and one I'll be looking out for on other menu's in the future.

During our recent stay in Liverpool, we found Moose nearby (thanks to Yelp)! We were craving some…read morecoffee and brunch before the busy day we had ahead, and this spot delivered. From what we learned, Moose is a small chain around the UK, and known for its hearty North American-inspired menu. Definitely true - the menu had plenty of US classics like benedicts, pancakes, waffles, and hash dishes. I was actually surprised by how many things were available, as the cafe itself wasn't all that big. Small enough even that we couldn't even get a seat inside! No problem at all though, as we were instead able to sit in their outside area which lined a cute cobblestone alley, adjacent to some shops. I've said it before, and I'll say it again for the typical American traveler... in England, do NOT expect service to be what you're used to. You'll certainly wait to be tended too, and the visits from a server are very limited. In no way do I mean this as a complaint, it's actually kind of nice to not feel rushed and practice patience :) All in all, the staff who did take care of us were very sweet! My husband had an americano and I enjoyed my flat white (I swear I've loved every coffee I've ever had during England trips). For food I got the lula puebla, which was a fancy avo toast. The smashed avocado was fresh and well-seasoned, and the toasted sourdough it was smeared across was so thick and delicious. Even more delicious was the chipotle chilli jam that came atop of it. It also had feta, chilli flakes, and two poached eggs. I was definitely a fan! My husband also really liked his eggs benedict that included griddled Serrano ham. I know, I know, travel all this way only to have a US-style breakfast but hey it did the trick! Wouldn't hesitate to pop in another Moose location in the future.

The Brink is a non-alcoholic establishment this does not stop them from delivering fresh and flavoursome cocktails which I must recommend too all who visit.

Overall The Brink is an amazing establishment with great value for money, the food is made fresh to order and the willingness of the staff to proved great service really does make this a nice place to eat and I strongly suggest visiting this place.

However, this place wasn't all that bad, though it is more like one of those cafes that you tend to find in the city than elsewhere (though you do find some pretty good ones in the city). However, I did really like this place, the service was pretty good, as was the pot of tea I got. The only thing that disappointed me was that they used ham for the eggs benedict as opposed to bacon.

Popped in here on Saturday whilst out shopping with my Mum and was very surprised to see how busy…read moreit was...and how much it's grown since last time I visited there a number of years back! It was absolutely chock full of very happy looking customers and there was a whole lovely new back room that I'm pretty sure wasn't there last time I was. The service was speedy despite the long queue and the staff friendly despite how busy they clearly were. The decor is lovely, my favourite elements being the giant chandelier and the vintage piano. The atmosphere was really pleasant; the overall vibe of the place manages to convey cool classiness and warmth at the same time. Although the bread of the mozzarella and chorizo panino I ordered was a little floppy and the chorizo a bit a bit too chewy it was tasty nevertheless and the tea I ordered was just right (and with me being such a tea fan you don't often hear me say that!). The cakes looked delicious as well...wish I'd had room for a slice! Will definitely be saving space for the chocolate and Guiness next time! I'm very glad I've rediscovered this hidden gem above Lord Street and will definitely not be leaving so long till my next visit this time.

This is a mildly strange place, but I liked it. You enter via a small doorway into a large open…read morespace. The first impression is that it's empty and too large for a 'mere' coffee shop. This amount of floor space costs money in the 'up and coming' Bold Street area and so you need to turn over a massive chunk of coffee to achieve that every day and seven days a week. There seem to be two very nice, customer focused guys running it. The coffee is class ... very enjoyable, but no better than other top line 'third wave' places. I prefer it to the two cups I had at nearby Bold Street Coffee. So back to the space: there seems to be five areas. One faces you as you enter, a second to your left occupied by a huge and very cool industrial style table, a third just through and past is smaller and occupies by a small group of people meeting about whatever. Then there's a little through room I didn't venture into. Finally the bar area is large and well equipped. There's some work on presentation needed. Some cakes are at the back so you can't see them and what you don't see you don't buy (but I do anyway - a delicious vanilla cheesecake!) It feels more like a work hub, but doesn't seem to sell itself as that. For example, essential plug sockets are around the wall but away from tables and hence trip hazards. This kind of detail needs addressing. It's the kind of space that Bold St Coffee and Leaf don't seem to fill as well, but both are packed! Throughout, I had friendly service I enjoyed the space. WIFI was fine. It felt more like an evening venue and lacked some intimacy during the mid day time I was there. I'm not sure if they do food, but if they do I didn't notice. They need to as it drives profit more than cakes and drinks. They have the space. They may not have the money. I wish them well. It was the best coffee I had in the city.

Best coffee I've had in Liverpool! Great little speciality…read morecoffee shop relatively close to the main shopping area. We're only visiting Liverpool for a couple of days and really glad we found it. They only serve Casino Mocca coffee from Budapest so it is on the pricey side but definetly worth it as there isn't much competition in that area. Only two coffes on the menu which is a but slim for your usual speciality but we had both as a filter - They only had one chemex so had to wait for the second one but we were sharing so it was fine. Really nice, well sourced coffee very flavourful and skillfully brewed. It's definetly worth a visit but I reakon it might be a bit slow at busy periods. Perfect for a lazy coffee and ideal for our holiday. Definetly recommend!

I actually stopped in here to get out the rain as I made my way down Duke Street and it was a…read moresurprise to find it as I had never seen it before. Thinking I had found a new coffee shop - albeit a very small one - what I discovered was that this is a new Cabaret club opened by Liverpool's very own Ricky Tomlinson. However, be warned this is not the type of cabaret I was hoping for with burlesque strippers, freakshow entertainment and plenty of spirits on offer, Mr Tomlinson has opened a proper old fashioned British variety club hosted by himself every week and presenting acts as legendary as Jimmy Cricket and Cannon & Ball! This was more surprising because the Green Room cafe itself couldn't feel more modern and even quite cool with an eclectic mix of music from Johhny Cash to Elvis Costello and Kings of Leon complimented by the iconic black & white images of movie stars and singers along the walls. While it is clean, bright and spacious after a while I did start to feel like I was sipping my coffee in a furniture showroom.

Being the sole customer in a cafe at 9am doesn't really bode well for an outlet during what should…read morenormally be peak time for the trade and therefore doesn't really help a review of the place. Sometimes, admittedly, there are times you know will be an unfair reflection on a place - like say to review a bar with a bouncing reputation from a time you turned up at 11am on a Monday when the smell of vomit and disinfectant still hangs in the air on the street outside or the time the entire staff of a clothes shop were giving you evils as you stepped out of the changing rooms because it was 17:55 - but think well that was my experience and go ahead and write it anyway. There is nothing wrong with Hemingways, but it is a fairly standard cafe with few discernible features and maybe with the new shiny Neros and Starbucks of Liverpool1 on its doorstep that's enough to lose it amidst the rapidly changing landscape of that side of town. The staff are very friendly and there is a good selection of sandwiches plus with the availability of some wines and beers it's perfect for grabbing a swifty with lunch - you can't do that at your nearest well known chain of coffee shops.

This is probably because I don't walk a lot down small side streets and on this occasion I got lucky with my choice to say the least. Arguably, this was one of the best full English breakfasts I've had in Liverpool and I would put it up there with the best. Only costing me £4.70 for a plate crammed with 2 sausages, bacon rashers, mushrooms, plum tomatoes, toast, egg, beans, fried bread and black pudding, plus a teapot as well made me more than full. I can say that I got quality and quantity. The bacon was salty as most are and I'm just not a fan of black pudding but other than that, good to stomach and fast, friendly service. I would go back again.

I think most of the customers are regulars and tend to be mums with prams or odler folk, which is nice.
