Some Of The Best Breakfast And Brunch Spots In Liverpool – Independent Liverpool
"Continuing a theme of Coffee Spots in glorious Victorian shopping arcades, I present Pot Kettle Black (PKB), which has been gracing Manchester’s coffee scene since the start of October 2014. The Barton Arcade, home of PKB, is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen and PKB takes its lead from there, with gorgeous external features and some of the most ornate and sumptuous window art there is. Stepping inside, PKB is one of the most beautifully-appointed coffee shops I’ve ever visited."
"Proudly championing Antipodean coffee culture with a Northern accent, Pot Kettle Black is serving up some of the finest freshly-brewed cups of caffeine from its Barton Arcade takeout hatch in the heart of the city centre, so it couldn’t be easier to grab as you go. Barton Arcade, Deansgate, Manchester, M3 2BW. You can find more information via the PKB website here."
"Set up by two St Helen’s rugby players, PKB is forward thinking coffee house with a health-conscious edge. Owners Jon Wilkin and Mark Flanagan run a tight ship, with staff serving up an impressive range of brews. Andif the caffeine hit isn’t enough to wake you up in the morning, they also run PKBlasters workout sessions - an energising workout to start the day,"
"What: Decked out mostly in reclaimed wood, this vibrant Manchester café is the go-to spot for Mancunians looking for super-friendly service and an excellent cup of Joe. This independent coffee specialist also sells prints, cards and gifts, and is child- and dog-friendly, so you can take the whole family with you for breakfast, a hot drink and slice of cake or a hearty salad. Window seats and outside seating allow for people-watching as you take a moment in convivial surrounds, either by yourself or with friends, while a range of food and drink options allow for varying dietary requirements."
"Situated on Oldham Street in the heart of the Northern Quarter, Fig + Sparrow’s café has proven so popular that their dining space has recently expanded, taking over the area that used to be populated with gifts. There are still a few small gift ideas and a selection of stylish cards and gift wrap to peruse as you indulge in a delicious cup of coffee out of one of their instantly recognisable red and yellow cups. To secure the perfect photo, take the window seat to shoot your steaming brew against the fogged up glass."
"Half hip café, half hip design store, Fig + Sparrow may have only been around for a few years compared to the Northern Quarter heavyweights that surround it, but it’s one of Oldham Street’s most beloved stores. In summer, the crowded outdoor tables may lull you into thinking that it is simply a café, but inside you will discover a myriad of carefully selected items for your home or for gifts. It’s also one of the best places in the area to find greetings cards and wrapping paper."
"Inspired by the era of industrial revolution, Clockworks goes to show what great things humanity can achieve when we put our minds to it!. When you mix avocado, bacon, eggs and hollandaise together with science, art, and some creative flair, marvellous things happen. Head on over to this rustic, chic emporium and see for yourselves!"
"This popular antipodean cafe drags loyal Northern Quarter locals out of bed at the weekend for its epic brunches. Emily’s homemade banana bread is treacly and dark, spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg with a fragrant vanilla mascarpone. If you’re really hungry, the hefty French toast is very popular, laden with homemade summer berry compote, almonds, whipped vanilla mascarpone and salted caramel; while corn fritters with a choice of toppings make a worthy savoury choice."
"Federal Cafe, Basil Chambers, 9 Nicholas Croft, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 1EY - Visit now. By now you’ll have realised that Manchester is awash with breakfast choices – and joining them on this swelling listis this little café on the edge of the Northern Quarter. While it might be smaller than the rest, we love the food here, and the coffee even more."
"One of the Northern Quarters coolest brunch spots, Federal Cafe & Bar is bringing a little Australian attitude to your feasting. Proving they know a thing or two about early mornings, this place will keep you coming back for banana bread, omelettes, Turkish eggs and bagels."
"The latest venture from the Alchemist, Aether is located right at the head of Liverpool’s shopping district. Inspired by the four elements, enjoy bewitching concoctions from four drinks menus, such as the Easter Island on the Earth list (Appleton Signature, Tiki peach foam and citrus) or Hot Grog from the Water menu (Union 55 rum, maple, citrus, Amaro and ginger). Aether is one of the newest cocktail bars Liverpool is home to and brings our guide to the best cocktail bars Liverpool offers to a close."

"The Pen and Pencil is a Northern Quarter bar and restaurant that sits on the corner of Hilton and Tariff Street in Manchester. “The bar and eatery is open seven days a week from 10am ’til late. We take our name and inspiration from the infamous mid-20th century bar on East 45th Street in New York’s ‘Steak Row’, which was popular with newspaper journalists and ad men – the original ‘Mad Men’.” They offer a bottomless brunch that includes dishes such as Steak & Eggs (6oz marinated rump steak, hash browns, fried eggs, hollandaise), American Pancakes (Maple syrup vt / Fruit compote and mascarpone vt / Bacon, maple syrup and pecans) and Avocado & Feta (Avocado, sundried tomatoes, rocket, poached eggs, feta cheese, sriracha, toasted pistachio nuts, pumpkin seeds, almond flakes, grilled sourdough)."
"Looking for the best vegetarian and vegan brunches in Manchester?. You can count on The Pen & Pencil to come through with heaps of meat-free mouthfuls. That's not all though, as this Mad Men-inspired haunt offers a menu of American grub that's worth trying in the evening too."
"New York style, The Pen & Pencil is close to the city centre and great for a shopping pit stop or work break. The lunch and brunch menu is served 10am-5pm and features dishes such as a burger, one of their brunch specials or grab one of their smoothies or shakes."
"What: Situated in the bohemian suburb of Chorlton-cum-Hardy, three miles southwest of the city centre, this coffee shop/tea emporium is the place to go for handcrafted cakes and a loose leaf brew. There are over 20 teas to choose from along with a selection of freshly baked cakes and provisions for breakfast and brunch. A homely atmosphere and welcoming staff add to Tea Hive’s appeal, as does its vegan, gluten-free and child-friendly offerings."
"Tea Hive, 53 Manchester Rd, Manchester, M21 9PW - Visit now. Tea Hive is one of the best breakfasts in Chorlton. Sure, there’s some nice places along Beech Road and the many (many) bars dotted around the area make a pretty good fist of it, but for a pure breakfast fix, Tea Hive reigns supreme."
"There’s no doubt that this quaint vintage-inspired teashop is a pro when it comes to home baking. You’ll find all kinds of elegant flavours like the quadruple layer St Clements cake with orange curd, lemon curd, and citrus buttercream icing. A personal favourite is the date and ginger cake which comes with spiced cream cheese icing."
"It was established in 2006 and has since grown a mini-empire encompassing a cookery school as well as supper clubs and other events in London. Ning, based in the Northern Quarter, was awarded Best Malaysian Restaurant at the Asian Curry Awards 2012. Furthermore, this stylish restaurant is armed with an extremely talented chef in Norman Musa, who was the recipient of the Asian and Oriental Young Chef of the Year award in 2012."
