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."
"Bold Street Coffee, 89 Bold Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, L1 4HF - Visit now. Bold Street makes a strong showing in this list, and for good reason – it’s a hive of fiercely independent shops and cafes. Bold Street Coffee is one of the best, with, as you’d expect, a strong range of heavily-caffeinated coffee blends, but a superb selection of breakfast dishes."
"Dig in to some of Bold Street Coffee's fluffy American Style pancakes on your next trip up the bustling street!. Pick from Maple & Bacon or wild berries washed down with a cup of coffee and breakfast is sorted. View this post on Instagram"
"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."
"We love a good technical challenge on GBBO, and whose mind was blown when you saw how bagels were made!. Boiling bread before baking it seems ludacris but the result of a well-baked bagel is heaven. At Bagelry the team bring a wide variety of the ring-shaped delights to diners prepared in the traditional Jewish style, Americanised versions as well as their own gastronomic concoctions."
"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."
"What these guys can’t tell you about bagels simply isn’t worth knowing. With every flavour and variety under the sun of our favourite baked snack, how they display them is every bit as delightful as eating them. Let’s face it, if you didn’t take a photo of your rainbow bagel, did you even eat it?"
"This small shop on buzzy Tib Street is jam-packed with bottles, cans and kegs of beers from Manchester, as well as from the UK and across the globe. Brews from the inner city include neon-packaged Runaway Brewery (smoked porter, summer saison, American brown ale), Track Brewing Co. (visit its weekly brew tap events under the arches of Picadilly), and Cloudwater, which has gained a global reputation for itself over the past few of years. The friendly staff sure know their porters from their DIPAs, so make sure you pick their brains."
"Based in the heart of the Northern Quarter, Beermoth is a unique brewery compared to the others on this list as this one has two shops. One in the Northern Quarter and the other in Manchester city centre. The shop in the city centre is a belgian-style beer cafe which offers beer, food, coffee in a relaxing environment."
"If you can’t get enough of their funky-designed cans, then you’re in luck as Black Lodge Brewery has taken their beers online to help make lockdown that little bit more bearable. Better yet the people of Liverpool and Wirral can get free alcohol delivery. The brewery delivers from Tuesday to Friday, depending on your postcode, plus they do national delivery too so you can send some beers to a mate or family member."
"You cant give up now your just getting to the best bits of our Liverpool real ale trail at Black Lodge Brewery. This is a one of a kind beer lovers find, tucked into one of the many warehouses that are now being transformed into Liverpool’s most popular social spaces. When you arrive you are confronted by a wall of gleaming white tile devoid of marketing ploys, brands and colour."
"Sarah Hyde is an Institute of Beer & Distilling accredited Beer Sommelier and has just launched a series of beer tours in Liverpool under the UK Brewery Tours umbrella. The Microbrewery Experience Tour takes in some of the best venues within the Baltic Triangle. You’ll get to meet the brewers, sample beers and come face-to-face with the brewery equipment."
"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!. This comedy venue specialises in bringing only the best line-ups to the city every Saturday night and boasts an impressive number of sell-out shows in its history. The Comedy Cellar also offers pre-show meal packages, with more information available at their website."
"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."
"One of the first places to open up in the now uber-trendy Northern Quarter the Frog and Buckets plays host to Manchester's longest-running comedy club. Not only some fantastic homegrown talent, but comedy greats also pass through from all over the world. There are two opportunities every week to enjoy a giggle, their 'Barrel of Laughs' night and also their open mic night 'Beat the Frog'."
