Very nice environment. Not much to choose from on the menu. Excellent service for low price.

The Egg Cafe was founded in 1984 by Janine Pinion. It was formerly known as the Acorn Gallery and then The Garden, before becoming the Egg Cafe. It is located just off Bold Street and occupies a large and airy loft space in an old Victorian Building. From the windows you get an excellent view across the rooftops of the city, giving you a whole new perspective on the city centre. As well as being a vegetarian cafe The Egg is also an independent gallery called Eggspace The atmosphere at the Egg cafe is relaxed and welcoming. There is a range of seating available from comfy sofa's to small tables and long rows of tables suitable for larger groups. If you are planning to come in a large group it is advisable to reserve a table in advance as the Egg can get pretty busy. The food at the Egg is vegetarian only, but even as a dedicated carnivore I have always enjoyed the food I have had here. I strongly recommend the cheesy garlic bread, it's just amazing. The cakes are delicious, in particular the carrot cake. The food is inexpensive but the portions are very generous. If you are coming for a meal then the Egg offers a corkage service where if you bring your own wine you pay £1 per bottle, which can work out really well compared to usual restaurant prices for wine. The Egg is a great place for a simple pot of tea, or for a meal and a get together with friends. The staff are so welcoming that you're almost sad to leave.

The Egg is definitely a 'what you see is what you get' place. If you make it all the way up there, that is. And that's if you even manage to find it. On a road running between Renshaw and Bold Street, you can't miss the brightly painted doorway, but if you weren't looking for it you may just walk past. So, you've found The Egg. You drag yourself up the flights of rickety stairs (I'm surprised someone hasn't has an accident there) and tried to open the one locked door before pushing your way through the single unlocked door. This is not a welcome feature for persons of the larger persuasion. Then you are greated by scrubbed wooden tables and chairs, loud artwork and nice smells. You go to order at the counter, and the menu is on a blackboard on the wall. All the food is delicious and so good you want to sit there all day. I can recommend the pancakes, whatever the daily soup is with chunky cheese on toast or garlic bread, and some Moroccan dish they do with lots of mushrooms in. However, whatever you try you will probably be happy with the result. If you're on water, you can help yourself from the bar, hot drinks are served in big mugs and cutlery and sauces are from the counter next to the til. That's about it. Simplicity itself. It looks like a great place to live because it has a sort of rural charm, and you get good views of the city. Prices are a refelction on the venue: cheap and cheerful!

I never knew such a quaint place like this existed in Liverpool until I came across reviews from other Yelpers. Today, I decided to try The Egg Café to see for myself and it was certainly not a disappointment. The Egg Café may not be the most noticeable, obvious or attractive of cafés from the outside, but as I trawled up their purple stairwell to the top floor, I was silently amazed to see how pleasant an environment there was. The atmosphere was peaceful with plenty of fresh air entering the balcony, where you can enjoy the view overlooking Newington. Being a carnivorous person, I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy the full vegetarian breakfast I ordered. However, I did not miss the fact that there was no meat in my meal as it still tasted yummy. The Quorn sausages were questionable but the double egg, beans, fried mushrooms and tomatoes went down well. Plus, there were generous slices of granary toast which was the thickest toast I'd ever had! With a pot of tea included all under a fiver, I would definitely go back again and who knows, I may be converted into a veggie!

Lovelocks - Pancakes with spiced apples bananas, strawberry, and pecans

Lovelocks

(6 reviews)

Nice little cafe that serves up brunchy goodness…read more The service was good. The environment was pretty warm. If you want to sit indoors, this location has plenty of seating. They served up a fantastic matcha latte, and Liz got a cappuccino. I thought this place was a fine place to eat breakfast, or if we wanted to get a coffee or tea to go. Liz and 'Em had pancakes... although it looked like smaller portions they were filled quickly. I had a morning brekkie with meat, which came with toast, bacon, a small tub of beans, roasted tomato and spinach, and toasted eggs. It was all pretty delicious. The server offered sauces (hot sauce or ketchup). I was pretty content with the food. All types of folks come in and all are treated the same. If you're up around the area - or on the way to the World Museum, stop by.

Such a cute little local find! It's like stepping into your friend's back garden for breakfast!…read more I found this place by chance walking one day through town and I'm so glad I did! My friends and I were greeted very warmly as we arrived and got to choose where to sit. Then we ordered at the counter. You can see everything being made there. All items used are local, which I love. There are vegan and vegetarian options as well. Cute little menu with the right amount of stuff on their for breakfast or lunch. They also have cakes! Variety of toasts, bagels, French toast, coffees, teas, other drinks. Everything at great prices! I always leave that place satisfied and with happy tummy!

Moose Coffee - Avocado toast

During our recent stay in Liverpool, we found Moose nearby (thanks to Yelp)! We were craving some…read morecoffee and brunch before the busy day we had ahead, and this spot delivered. From what we learned, Moose is a small chain around the UK, and known for its hearty North American-inspired menu. Definitely true - the menu had plenty of US classics like benedicts, pancakes, waffles, and hash dishes. I was actually surprised by how many things were available, as the cafe itself wasn't all that big. Small enough even that we couldn't even get a seat inside! No problem at all though, as we were instead able to sit in their outside area which lined a cute cobblestone alley, adjacent to some shops. I've said it before, and I'll say it again for the typical American traveler... in England, do NOT expect service to be what you're used to. You'll certainly wait to be tended too, and the visits from a server are very limited. In no way do I mean this as a complaint, it's actually kind of nice to not feel rushed and practice patience :) All in all, the staff who did take care of us were very sweet! My husband had an americano and I enjoyed my flat white (I swear I've loved every coffee I've ever had during England trips). For food I got the lula puebla, which was a fancy avo toast. The smashed avocado was fresh and well-seasoned, and the toasted sourdough it was smeared across was so thick and delicious. Even more delicious was the chipotle chilli jam that came atop of it. It also had feta, chilli flakes, and two poached eggs. I was definitely a fan! My husband also really liked his eggs benedict that included griddled Serrano ham. I know, I know, travel all this way only to have a US-style breakfast but hey it did the trick! Wouldn't hesitate to pop in another Moose location in the future.

Came here while in Liverpool before leaving town. The place is beautiful and beautifully decorated…read morehowever food wasn't the best.

The first thing you'll notice about Kane's is its super-duper service. There's nothing quite like a…read morewarm welcome and they're not backwards in coming forwards about adapting their menu to any of your personal tastes. The second thing is the cheerful decor, with string lights dotted around the staircase and windows and plenty of quirky lived-in comfortable chairs, Mediterranean colour schemes and some lovely, slightly girly art on the walls. Then, considering just how nice it is to be there, how well you're being treated and how tasty and superbly fresh the food is, there's the price. That's a very nice little surprise. And little it is indeed. With soups at £2.95 you really, genuinely can't go wrong, especially when they're as delicious as this. And are you shocked that a good portion of the mains are under a fiver too? This place has a rustic café feel, with club and ciabatta sandwiches, fish cakes, chips, and plenty for the kids with omelettes and chicken. It's family-run and they have a knack for tending to kids, plus everything you see is pretty much made by one guy and one guy only. And no corners are cut; nothing's scrimped on. Everything from the pasta in the lasagne to the chips on the side are made fresh from scratch. Little twists in classic dishes really make a difference and the desserts are to die for, with the bread and butter pudding made with brioche, plump sultanas, cream and eggs a particular favourite. Plus if you're seeking strong coffee this is definitely the place to come, it's excellent.
