Coffee Liverpool: Best Independent Coffee Shops
"For a dose of Americana with your morning coffee, there’s nowhere better to head than Moose Coffee. With two branches in the city centre, and one out in Crosby, Moose brings New York City to Liverpool with its big-time hot beverages and calorie-heavy breakfast menu. We recommend taking a Moose Macchiato (complete with a slug of caramel and topped with whipped cream) with the famous Moose American Pancakes – sticky, sweet and completely OTT."
"Whether you own a bar, restaurant, pub, club, private hire space, pop-up and/or run events, you can take advantage of our full suite of products. Explore one or more from the below."
"Why: As with all of the other Ivy restaurants, this Manchester site is dripping in glitz and glamour, so breakfast here is as much about the surrounds as it is the food. Pastries and toast kick things off, while there are full English options for both vegetarians and meat eaters. If you fancy something a little more virtuous there is an extensive section dedicated to eggs and a light and healthy selection too, which features the likes of smoked salmon on rye bread and dairy free coconut yogurt with berries."
"Located in the heart of Manchester, The Ivy Spinningfields only opened in November 2018, but is already a must-visit spot for anyone seeking a little glamour. The Brasserie serves modern British classics while the The Ivy Asia and Bar serves Asian-inspired cocktails and sharing dishes with entertainment and resident DJs. There are also three private dining rooms - The Dalton, The Geisha Room and The Skylight Terrace."
"With three sprawling levels that include a traditional brasserie, modern Asian bar and stunning rooftop space, there's plenty of choice at The Ivy. Nab a spot at the Spinningfields favourite and indulge in all-day dining with alluring cocktails to match."
"This cosy café on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter is known for its snug interior, quirky detailing and incredible-looking cakes. If you’re looking for sweet treats to photograph, you’ll find it hard to select just one cake from their selection, so it’s a good idea to bring a couple of friends with you. And don’t get too stuck into photographing the food that you forget to capture all of the eclectic details, such as their neon pink signs."
"This place really does feel like home, or rather an American Grandma’s home. It’s Grandma in the USA, in Manchester. Floral wallpaper, little framed pictures dotted on the wall, the smell of fresh baking; you feel welcome as soon as you step through the door."
"One of the best places to eat pizza in Manchester, Proove is a firm choice for alfresco dinners in the warmer months. Get stuck onto freshly baked Neapolitan slices in their cosy terrace space on a chilled out date or long-awaited catch-up with pals."
"An independent coffee shop and eatery situated on Allerton Road and Liverpool ONE,The Interesting Eating Company is a quirky and innovative eatery serving interesting food seven days a week. The venue serves a huge range of savoury treats for any time of the day such as a Veggie Breakfast (poached eggs, avocado, veggie sausages, baked beans & roasted vegetables) and seasonal salads including firm favourite Alex’s Sunny Tomato Salad (boiled eggs, pine nuts, sultanas, onions, sun dried tomatoes, roasted peppers & garlic dressing). For the sweeter toothed guest, The Interesting Eating Company is well-known for its signature waffles and speciality pancakes."
"The Interesting Eating Company on Allerton Road have jumped on the DIY decorating kit boxes hype this year and you can create your very own pancakes this Pancake Day. You can have their crêpes come to you and simply decorate and top them with whatever ingredients you desire. Each pancake box can be ordered via direct message on Instagram and includes pancakes, crêpes and fluffy Yank stacks, lemon and sugar, Nutella, maple syrup, fruit, marshmallows, sprinkles and white chocolate chunks."
"Located on Allerton Road is Interesting Eating Company, a quirky venue covered in a pretty purple. Whilst many come down for the pancakes and shakes (they’re kinda famous for them) we’d rather dedicate this to their Full English. As there is one of the best butchers in Liverpool across the road, expect quality in the meat and fresh toast on the side."
"Take the very best of British beef and combine it with traditional Turkish cooking techniques and you have the makings of the mouthwatering meat-filled menu at Kassap Meat House. What really makes Kassaps special is the performance aspect of cookery and butchery, often making a spectacle of things like their special cheese-filled Sirloin steaks or the cooking methods of juicy rib-eye cuts. Inside the designers have combined the beauty of Bold Street’s Bohemian spirit with the style and elegance of the period building Kassaps calls home."
"23/05/2021: Me and my friends came here for my birthday meal. It was the best experience the staff were all amazing friendly and could not do enough for us.. Every single thing we ordered tasted amazing from the starters, to the mains and the cocktails."
"The Art School Restaurant is housed in what used to be a ‘home for destitute children’ in Victorian times. But you’re more likely to be chomping on a cheeseboard than writing on a chalkboard if you find yourself here today. Super-close to both the Liverpool Philharmonic and the Everyman theatre, the Art School Restaurant is all about exquisite, beautifully prepared British cooking."
"The Art School Restaurant sits within a beautifully refurbished former Victorian home and serves a fine range of British food. Watch the chefs at work in the kitchen while enjoying indulgent creations like natural smoked haddock or slow-braised Duroc…"
"Masterchef champion Simon Wood’s first restaurant is a relaxed venue with a wide range of choices to dine from. An a la carte menu featuring dishes that led Simon to his Masterchef title, and a seven-course tasting menu with exceptional wines to match. The open kitchen means you’ll spend every dining experience watching Simon create the dishes that brought him to the fore in 2015."
"Jack Rosenthal Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M15 4RA. Opened by former MasterChef winner Simon Wood, this is a large, welcoming venue. Whether you opt for the fine-dining a la carte, good-value set lunch or tasting menu, the kitchen allows fresh ingredients to shine."
"Manchester’s legendary stand-up comedy club remains an ever-popular destination, and has hosted pretty much every big name in comedy over the past 19 years. TripAdvisor reviewers had high praise for the venue’s staff, drinks and hot food offering. Typical reviews include: “Food was good, staff friendly and comedy funny."
"The one you think of when someone says comedy in Manchester. Located on Deansgate Locks, this perfectly placed club offers some of the best stand up in town. Their auditorium set up makes it perfect for stand up."
"Cambridge Arcade eatery, The Hungry Mink has received some amazing reviews for its décor atmosphere, live entertainment and massive food menu. Check out the sharing grazing platters for tasty nibbles with a glass of wine or two. Menus and more here."
"Liverpool Comedy Cellar has been voted the best venue in Liverpool by The Guardian – which considering the number of incredible venues in the city is some accolade!.
