Best French Bakery in Stretton

"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!"

"As soon as you walk in to Moose you are instantly captivated by the chandeliers made out of antlers and can’t help but crack a smile upon noticing the paintings of famoose (we had to) historical figures with a moose’s head in the place of these notable character’s heads. Moose’s interior may be all fun and games but their coffee isn’t a laughing matter. Moose is one of the most popular breakfast and brunch spots in Liverpool for early birds and late bloomers and it’s for very good reason."

"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."

"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."

"Located on the city centre’s main thoroughfare, Bold Street Coffee is something of a tardis once you get inside. In addition to a solid selection of coffees, the cafe boasts an excellent and complete food offering. The usual cafe fare of soup, sardines, and salads are available and done well – but there are also more elaborate menu options to please any gourmand."

"After popping up at various festivals and events, Bold Street Coffee opened a café in 2010 to serve coffee to the people of Liverpool on a daily basis. The team work with some of the best roasters in Europe and use high tech equipment to ensure they…"

"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."

"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."

"Since opening in 2013 The Bagelry has helped fill a bagel shaped hole in the city. The Chinatown store is dedicated to hand crafted boiled and baked bagels, offering American and Jewish varieties, alongside their own gourmet and seasoned flavoured bagels. There’s black forest bagels, cinnamon raisin bagels, blueberry bagels, salted jalapeño bagels and beetroot bagels to name but a few."

"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."

"Before the arrival of The Bagelry we just felt like there was something missing in Liverpool. We can’t really explain it, there was just a certain hollow to us as we navigated our way through the labyrinth of the city. A bagel-shaped hole two best friends fulfilled a couple years ago."

"92 Degrees places community at the heart of their coffee shops, with an emphasis on cultural events where artists, musicians, book-lovers, entrepreneurs, students and families get together for coffee-inspired conversation. Regular events feature live music, drama and poetry, and a free space for up-and-coming artists to display work each month. The name 92 Degrees comes from the ideal temperature for the perfect espresso extraction at their impressive in-house roastery, and you can subscribe for home-brewing with blends including California Calling and Brazil’s Yellow Bourbon."

"Only a 5-minute walk from the University of Liverpool, it’s a favourite haunt for sleep-deprived PhD students typing up their theses, and tutors taking some time-out for coffee. The city’s first combined roastery and coffee shop, the historic Georgian building wafts a delicious coffee smell across Hardman Street as you arrive, making that initial sip of fair trade coffee all the more incredible when you finally get your hands on one of their beverages. 24 Hardman St   L1 9AX"

"92 Degrees Coffee, 24 Hardman St, Liverpool, L1 9AX - Visit now. Liverpool’s first combined micro roastery and coffee shop is housed in the city’s neoclassical Grade II listed Old Blind School building, and named after the optimum temperature for the extraction of espresso."

"Down past the universities just off Oxford Rd lies Anchor Coffee. It’s fittingly named, as they aim to ‘anchor’ the community by investing in the ‘pay it forward’ concept which allows the customer to buy a free coffee for someone else in the community who really needs it. Given that they also stock, arguably, the best coffee around – Monmouth coffee – it’s a retreat for the student community and anyone who fancies a wander out of the city centre."

"A pioneering Manchester Cafe in the heart of the cities student district, The Anchor is a part-volunteer run speciality coffee shop. They proudly serve some of the most highly regarded coffee roasters in the country, previously Monmouth and now Dark woods. Their passionate team have a wealth of knowledge about coffee and provide a homely experience."

"You'd be forgiven for not realising this world renowned luxury Belgian chocolate maker even had a branch in Chester, as it's quite understated. But they offer a decadent selection of sweet treats, including fresh butter creams, pralines, ganaches, caramels, liqueurs, jellies and marzipans. They also offer the 'best hot chocolate in town', topped with marshmallows and whipped cream."

"Anyone who grew up in Manchester probably spent a good proportion of their teenage years wandering around Afflecks (formally known as Affleck’s Palace). Since its opening in 1981, this warren of independent shops is a perfect alternative to high street shopping in the city, offering everything from rubber jumpsuits to rave gear. Yes, there will always be that side of Afflecks (you’ll also find condoms and sex toys), but there really is something for everyone if you take the time to browse its multitude of market stalls."

"AFFLECKS IS AN EMPORIUM OF ECLECTICISM, A TOTEM OF INDIE COMMERCE IN MANCHESTER’S NORTHERN QUARTER”. There are three main outlets inside Afflecks Palace which stock vintage clothing – catering for all types and styles, sizes and shapes. Afflecks has an extensive selection of different outlets from Punk and Goth, to a 100% vegan store!"

"One of the best places to just loose yourself is Aflecks Palace. Floors of independent stalls selling everything from food, jewelry and clothing."

"As one of Liverpool’s most established restaurants, having won copious awards over the years, this is the restaurant to visit for a special occasion. Part of the London Carriage Works hotel which was built in the 1860’s, it has recently been revamped and features a number of different menus going from breakfast all the way through to dinner. Expect to find the likes of smoked haddock with poached eggs on the breakfast menu and lamb rump niçoise, seared sea bass and coconut pannacotta."

"is the restaurant at the Hope Street Hotel, which uses local, seasonal, Northwest produce to create contemporary, international food. The local produce is transformed in dishes of that wouldnt be out of place in New York or Barcelona: roast breast of Gressingham duck with smoked ginger and rhubarb sauce, or slow cooked Wirral Tan House Farm Duroc pork belly with Bramley apple and vanilla."

"Named after chef patron Simon Wood, 2015 winner of MasterChef, this First Street restaurant offers unintimidating high end dining in a relaxed setting. From truffled tortellini to tomahawk sharers, you won’t leave hungry."

"A family-run restaurant, The Italian Club Fish merges Mediterranean seafood with traditional British fish and chips. With a focus on fresh produce, the menu pays homage to the family's Italian heritage, and places a wealth of Italian seafood…"

"If, like me, you also are a food lover then this also means you tend to fall in love with the best street food that beaches around the world have to offer. Those long periods in between surf trips are filled with days dreaming about bowls of steaming fragrant mussels;..."
