Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Arley

"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."

"There’s regularly a queue stretching down the street for good reason, so make sure you arrive early on weekends as they run out of bagels fast!. With plain bagels costing £1, it’s easy to take a box of freshly baked bread away and build a bagel at home. Alternatively, The Bagelry offers a delicious range of fillings in the bagel of your choice."

"The Bagerly specialises in, you guessed it, bagels, and they know how to make a good one over here. Nelson Street’s favourite bakery makes all their round shaped food fresh on site with loads of different flavours and rainbow bagels on the weekend!. You can also find some pretty impressive doughnuts here too alongside great coffee."

"The Bagelry sits bang in the middle of China Town and is nearly always busy with a bustling and happy atmosphere. The windows are flooded with morning sunshine & the outside seating area is perfect for basking in its warmth. These guys offer up all your favourite flavours of bagels & doughnuts and of course coffee to match."

"Nordic inspired, TAKK is the result of the founders travels throughout Scandinavia and Iceland. The slick interior and minimalist design scream quality while also an enticing level of comfort. Their house espresso is a single origin coffee from Finca Miravalle in El Salvador, while regularly featuring guest espresso from some of the best roasters in Europe and further afield."

"Nordic inspired Takk on Tariff Street is one of the longer standing coffee shops on this list. Takk is a firm favourite of ours for grabbing a coffee before or after a trip to Piccadilly station. It’s also a great spot to while away an afternoon over good coffee and even better cake."

"Restaurants Coffeeshops. Takk is a love letter to scandi coffee houses, and it’s been serving up hygge vibes to savvy Mancunians for years. They now have three outlets across the city, but we still love their Northern Quarter branch the most."

"Also known as ‘The Egg”, this enchanting and Grimm’s inspired restaurant is a must go for vegans and vegetarians. In plain sight on Newington; tucked away behind a purple and gold swirled door, lies the morning part café and part gallery and night performance space with a variety of nourishing meals, large mugs of coffee, homemade cakes and the famous vegan breakfast. Although the opening hours have been reduced, the atmosphere, quality and beauty of the Egg are still very prominent."

"The Egg Cafe can be found just off Bold Street on Newington Street. Not only is it one of Liverpool’s premier vegetarian and vegan restaurants (they did vegan before it was hipster), it is also in a beautiful airy loft space of an old Victorian warehouse building. It also offers fabulous views of the city centre."
