Top 10 Brunch Restaurants and Best Breakfast in Liverpool
"You know when you’re watching an American movie and you can’t focus on what the characters are saying because you’re too busy drooling over the massive, delicious spread laid out on their dining table?. Well, we’re pleased to inform you (if you haven’t heard already) that Brits can have their fair share of totally indulgent American breakfasts right here in Liverpool, like, for real!. Moose Coffee offers authentic American and Canadian inspired dishes that are as comforting and impressive as any you’d find in New York diners and delis!"
"Stepping up from our UK favourite of lemon and sugar, Moose Coffee offers classic American style toppings for their made in-store secret recipe pancakes. Our cousins across the pond love their bacon and maple syrup, as well as the good old blueberry stack and Moose, make these by the bucket load, selling over 660,000 a year. You can opt for their more creative topping options, such as spiced apple and salted caramel or granola and peanut butter."
"An authentic American/Canadian diner which serves brunch all day!. Moose Coffee is one which I had read a lot about before visiting Liverpool for the second time and knew it was a must when heading back. There are three Moose Coffee’s in Liverpool (as well as one in Leeds and two in Manchester), so if one is full you aren’t too far from another!"
"With a regular changing fresh food menu and top notch coffee, Bold Street Coffee is a great wake up call. Centrally located on Bold Street, this independent coffee house serves up some of the best coffee in the city. Indulge from a selection of cakes, pastries, toasted sandwiches and daily specials to enjoy."
"This award-winning coffee shop has found its home in Liverpool yet again after landlord issues meant they had to temporarily vacate. Now, they’re back serving their deliciously rich coffees, treats and good vibes yet again. Don’t miss out on this spot."
"We get up, we get ready and we all find ways to get through the day. We find happiness within chaos and balance within variables. Some find solace in privacy and silence and some escape through the company of others."
"Home Sweet Home has grown from humble beginnings to many locals’ favourite eatery that now boasts two locations in the city. Whether you opt to eat in the original Northern Quarter branch or the newer venue in Great Northern, expect a huge focus on dessert alongside the equally impressive savoury menu. The ice-cream shakes hark back to the 1950s in the best possible way, American style pancakes are the ultimate breakfast treat and their deep dish cookie pie is to die for – and that’s not even mentioning the incredible array of colourful sugar-covered pimped out cakes that sit tantalisingly in their dessert bar."
"Home Sweet Home is a go-to for cheap breakfast in Manchester, offering an all-American take on the classic meal. Chomp away on juicy fried chicken and waffles, eggs Benedict and stacks of pancakes all washed down with fresh coffee, shakes and brunch cocktails."
"Home Sweet Home is an inevitable address for brunch-lovers in the Northern Quarter. If you are looking for some good comfort food, you are sure to find it here. We recommend the Eggs Cali."
"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."
"Named after its location near to the war memorial on Davyhulme Circle, Poppies 11 Cafe is a delightful little place. It's the perfect place to start the day (we'll have a Poppies Breakfast and a Cappuccino) or a great spot to catch up with mates during lunchtime. The cafe also serves a great afternoon tea, with finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones and a selection of miniature cakes."
"This little North West city is packed full of unique buildings, and Church bar is one that really stands out from the crowd. As the name suggests this bar is housed in a converted chapel and still has original features like a church organ and stained-glass windows. The front of the bar provides a long outdoor space that is one of the best beer gardens in Chester."
"The Church is housed within a beautifully converted former church and retains much of its original charm. The venue features a charming Gallery Restaurant, a breezy terrace and bellini bar."
"If you’re looking for a cosy little place to enjoy lip-smackingly good food, Lovelock Coffee Shop are the ones for you!. It’s the kind of place you wish you’d discovered earlier and once you’ve experienced the relaxed atmosphere and taken a bite of their delicious breakfast, you know you’ll be back soon. Their cakes are boss, their plants are lush, and their matcha lattes and pancakes are as delish as they are Insta-friendly!"
"Looking for a breakfast spot in the business district of Liverpool?. Tucked away on Old Haymarket, you’ll find the small but sweet Lovelocks, just a stone’s throw from the city’s World Museum and Walker Art Gallery. This quirky cafe, with its hanging pot plants, green tiles and retro feel, offers customers yummy porridge with a range of tasty toppings, baked eggs, avocado on toast and much, much more."
"Tucked away on Old Haymarket on the edge Liverpool’s business district, Love Locks is a homely little café with a big heart. Filled with plenty of greenery, delicious bakes and friendly staff, it’s the perfect coffee stop for a rainy day when you want to get out of the cold. Unit 6, Old Haymarket L16ER"
"Don’t be put off by the surroundings and the decor because what key Lime Coffee lacks in personality it makes up for with its fresh leaf teas, coffees and food. They sell a surprisingly large range of vegan cakes and the cafe has a sunny disposition opposite Lime Street Station. The cafe has some comfy seating to the back wall and in the windows."
"Liverpool has such a fantastically friendly community as this cool café goes to show. This independent coffee shop serves freshly prepared brekkie… all day!. They have an American style all-day brunch with lots of gluten-free and veggie-friendly options."
"Establish in 2011 by a family with an earnest love of all things “pancake”, Hanky Panky Pancakes offers a variety of sweet, savory, and tipsy pancakes. Whether you want just one fluffy treat or a stack, Hanky Panky Pancakes has you covered. In addition to their homemade recipes, Hanky Panky Pancakes offers a great deal of customization so that every pancake lover can get exactly what they want."
"The May Blitz of 1941 saw St Luke’s church forever changed when a bomb landed right on top of it’s roof. Over time, the city has lovingly restored it back to life and it now plays host to everything from weddings, to gigs, to farmers markets and cinema screenings. The church itself and the gardens around it are a total treat for the eye."
"St Luke’s Church, or the Bombed Out Church to the locals, sits proudly at the top of Bold Street and is a great spot for a photograph, especially if you get to head inside. Known as the Bombed Out Church because it no longer has a roof, it makes for an interesting photo for the collection. View this post on Instagram"
"A modest Anglican parish church, originally built in 1832, St. Luke’s was a victim of the Liverpool Blitz in 1941 and now stands as a roofless shell, a monument to those who were lost during the war."

"I love the Art Gallery and have the Gallery a great place to visit with children and offers something a little different to enjoy with your children. The Gallery has several exhibits which are free for the public to enjoy. I love that the Gallery have tried to be really child friendly and for those with younger children, there is explorer tool belts for family groups with children aged three to six."
"For an interesting and fun day out for the whole family, head to the Manchester Art Gallery. There is so much to see and do, especially for families, including workshops, story bags and also baby changing facilities.

"Okay, so it’s not strictly in Liverpool, but the Wirral is close enough. Founded by William Hesketh Lever (1851-1925), the Lady Lever Art Gallery is dedicated to his wife Elizabeth and still features a large offering from his personal art collection, including the best collection of Wedgwood Jasperware in the world."
"Opened in 1922, the Lady Lever Art Gallery is located on the Wirral and is one of the National Museums of Liverpool. It is regarded as one of the finest art galleries in Europe and is home to a collection of items and paintings."
