    I think this has to be one of my favourite coffee houses. The key attractive features for me are the fact that the coffee is Fair Trade (v. important) and secondly they do really cheap take out coffee at a £1 or 86p with a loyalty card. For none coffee drinkers there is tea and hot chocolate etc! Fancy a bite to eat, they offer breakfast and when it gets to lunchtime - panini's, sandwiches and soup. Thankfully they also do cake - good! Interestingly enough the coffee house isn't just a day thing. They also have a jazz night every other Friday. Or if you want your own event then you can hire the place for free. They welcome book clubs, university groups etc....cool!

    At the top of a steep set of stairs off Lord Street is the stylish and civilised Rococo. A cafe exuding class and high quality with the high-backed studded leather seating, chandeliers and gold furnishings practically dripping from the walls. It cuts a fine shape and you feel above the hustle and bustle of the main street, (mainly because you are, but also because you feel so darned refined!) They serve a selection of iced drinks for the summer - a frappe to remind me of a hot summer in Cyprus, refreshing and nostalgic! Yummy cakes - try the lemon, the icing is so good! And some elegantly prepared sandwiches and paninis (roast pepper and goats cheese, mmm) It's a good place to go with your laptop to do a bit of work, with a light lunch on the side of course! Rococo is deceptively big with an extra room full of comfy couches and also up some More stairs, a function room which hosts live gigs and can be hired out for free. Also, is Jazz in cafes the new 'in' thing? If so, Rococo have jumped on said bandwagon and have a great jazz night on Fridays after 7pm. They also serve alcohol so if you fancy a cheeky tipple in sophisticated relaxed surroundings then Go Go to Rococo!

    Rococo is an independently owned coffee bar (on the first floor of 62 Lord Street) featuring stylish yet relaxing décor. You can choose from a wide selection of hot beverages, alcoholic drinks including liqueur lattes, and freshly prepared food ranging from hot panini's to indulgent slabs of cake, courtesy of Liverpool institution Dafna's Cheesecake Factory. I went for one of their many selections of panini's (cold) as I wanted something quick to munch on for lunch. After much time standing in front of the fridge, I chose the cajun chicken panini for £3.75 which did not disappoint. Usually cold food does not whet my appetite but on a warm day, it was something of a healthy choice instead of me going for a fry up. Inside was quite impressive in terms of décor as the building does not look much from the outside, plus I hardly ever notice this place and when I do, I tend to think of it as just an average café but it had a luxury feel about it, including posh chairs and sofas. The prices are generally dear but you are paying for good food and service, with a pleasant environment to go with it. This wonderful city centre café is like a hidden gem in disguise.

    What a little find, and you do have to search for it surprisingly hard to come across it despite Rococo being right under your nose - or rather just above your head. I have no idea how long this place has been here for but it could have opened a decade ago and I would never have found only to come across it through Yelp's intrepid explorers. Found at the top of a set of stairs above the shops of busy Lord street, Rococo feels like a coffee shop that could be found in Amersterdam - not one of those - or Paris. The big bay windows provide a good spot for people watching on the busy street below or plenty of big armchairs offer comfy seating. Oh yes and good coffee!

    Comfy sofa times! Milkshake is great too!

    Fantastic little independent cafe in the heart of Liverpool. Worth a visit just for the eccentric seating and wide variety of coffee menu alone, sandwiches are pretty appetising too. This venue is part of independent Liverpool so for that reason alone I hope it thrives in relation to its chain competition across the road. Stop by here during a busy shopping and sightseeing trip and you won't be dissapointed. If you're really lucky you'll get a window view over the city centre too!

    With youth on its side, this difficult to pronounce coffee shop is one of those independents we all seek out and know we should really visit instead of identikit Neros and Starbuckses. After all, who doesn't want a little variation in their bean, a little more homemade rustic ambience to their muffins and cakes? Rococo fits the bill and then some. Tucked away on the first floor of the building in which it resides, it's one of those easy to miss little gems that hasn't yet been taken over entirely by hoards of city slickers. Amazing considering its proximity to Liverpool One, and an added bonus if you're looking to get away from the madding crowd. The quirky and plush interior really does give it something special as well. Big sofas and armchairs, damask gold flecks on the walls, and my favourite thing to contrast it all - bare brick walls and well kept floorboards. It also manages to remain cosy due to its somewhat dinky size. The service, while not having that take-under-your-wing and almost hug you vibe many Liverpool independents have, is absolutely fine. It's prompt, it's efficient and it's not overly chatty, which sometimes is just what you're in the mood for. And if you're planning a long stay, you can grab a glass of wine or a bottle of beer in the evening when it takes on much more of a bar atmosphere. Grub-wise you do actually get your food brought over to you but you pay at the counter, as with many bars. The sandwiches are fresh and made to order as opposed to suffocating in cellophane all day like many coffee shop butties do. Panini melts are particularly good here and you can choose your fillings as and when - classics like tuna, brie, bacon, roast veg, meatballs, honey roast ham and similar. The portions are mighty generous too and the cakes are rather stunning, starting at a mere £1.85. Cappuccinos are only £1.95 which is nothing short of a miracle in this day and age, and the alcoholic drinks are fairly reasonable too. Friday night is live jazz and swing, and as a result it's two for one on beverages throughout the evening. DEFINITELY not to be sniffed at. All in all a simple, pretty place I'd happily return to.

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.

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.

    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.

We're only visiting Liverpool for a couple of days and really glad we found it.

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.

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.

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.
