After a failed attempt to get breakfast/brunch at The Bagelry in Chinatown, we decided to give The…read moreCow&Co Cafe a try instead. At the 'other end' of the street, it felt like a long walk to get there (especially with a growing hunger after a few drinks the night before) but as soon as we found it we knew we'd made the right choice. The location almost feels like a cul-de-sac, with a dog grooming salon next door and plenty of prams being pushed past. This meant it was a more relaxed vibe than elsewhere, and we easily got a table for two in the sunny window. There is a mezzanine level also, but no table service, which is worth considering if you or someone in your party struggles with stairs. The menu is on a blackboard, with changing specials, and plenty of proper coffee and tea on offer. Orders are taken at the small bar and processed in the same spot, meaning service isn't the quickest, but we were in no rush and everything was done with a smile. I went simple with a cheese and ham croissant, served warm, and a cup of tea. Josh's sandwich was much more substantial and it's fair to say I had food envy; mixed beans, peppers and aubergine on fresh wholemeal bread. Needless to say, with this delicious food and sunny window spot, we didn't really want to move! In no rush, we also shared a chocolate chip shortbread as we finished our drinks. A lovely start to our Saturday.

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.

However, this place wasn't all that bad, though it is more like one of those cafes that you tend to find in the city than elsewhere (though you do find some pretty good ones in the city). However, I did really like this place, the service was pretty good, as was the pot of tea I got. The only thing that disappointed me was that they used ham for the eggs benedict as opposed to bacon.

It was absolutely chock full of very happy looking customers and there was a whole lovely new back room that I'm pretty sure wasn't there last time I was. The service was speedy despite the long queue and the staff friendly despite how busy they clearly were. The decor is lovely, my favourite elements being the giant chandelier and the vintage piano. The atmosphere was really pleasant; the overall vibe of the place manages to convey cool classiness and warmth at the same time. Although the bread of the mozzarella and chorizo panino I ordered was a little floppy and the chorizo a bit a bit too chewy it was tasty nevertheless and the tea I ordered was just right (and with me being such a tea fan you don't often hear me say that!). The cakes looked delicious as well...wish I'd had room for a slice! Will definitely be saving space for the chocolate and Guiness next time! I'm very glad I've rediscovered this hidden gem above Lord Street and will definitely not be leaving so long till my next visit this time.

I was asked if I ever had a proper English breakfast so we came to this relatively new café that's…read moresix months old. I was introduced to Black Pudding, an acquired taste for even the English- pigs blood and intestines mashed into a hockey puck. I have nothing to compare it to but a taste of it was good for me. It was crispy, soft like pudding and a bit sweet. I opted for the tuna panini which was terrific. I read it came with chips which I figured were fries but got actual potato chips which was fine I guess. Michael said his All Day Breakfast was spot on except for the sausage which he described as cheap or watery. The other lads said there's were fine and devoured it spite being hung over. Before breakfast I asked to walk past the gates to witness the sprawling fields. I was welcomed with a bit of apprehension and took a few photos as you may see. Apparently no one asks to go back into the farm. I breathed in the cool air and appreciated the beauty of the English horizon. I was met by the owner, Bill Williams, in a tractor who stopped me to have a bit of a chat. He is a funny man when he said the view was "alright" and there wasn't much to see. I learned the farm was 400 acres and how he had a kick travelling the California coast line several years ago. When I return to Chester I will be sure to come back and eat here and say hello.

Now, I don't want to stereotype. I don't like putting people in boxes. But Liverpudlians are the…read morenicest people in the world. I shall prove this to you. They help you out without being asked. On a bus when Mum and I were complaining we should have brought a spare plastic bag, a young lady nearby handed us two, saying, 'Here y'are, I've got these if you need them.' Strangers told us where to alight said bus as we were overheard talking about our visit to Lark Lane. The waitress we had in The Quarter was the chattiest, bubbliest and most helpful member of staff we've ever encountered, more of that in my Quarter review. And here we turned up at the Cathedral Refectory, five minutes before it was due to close, and we were welcomed in and told to take our time, there was no rush. 'I recommend the prawn curry,' said one of the staff with a friendly smile. 'It's amazing.' No checking of watches, no huffing and puffing. First, you've got to give this little café the credit it deserves. It is in BEAUTIFUL surroundings, as you'll gain insight into in my Cathedral review. And it's so down to earth. We ordered a prawn sandwich, a veggie and lentil soup with a crusty roll, then upon spotting some tasty looking wraps, we asked what was in them. 'That's a three-bean Mexican wrap,' said one of the girls there. 'It's a veggie one. Is it not on the board?' We glanced at the board, but the young lady was on a mission, shouting into the kitchen, 'You haven't put three-bean wrap on the boooooard, have you?' in an exasperated yet jovial tone. There were also quiches galore to choose from as well as that tempting looking curry, but we decided to split a three-bean wrap. The girl said they'd make some up fresh. We thought we'd just be having the ones at the counter, but no siree! We were given a separate plate and told to help ourselves to the salad buffet, all of which was free of charge. Little did we know that when we took our soup, sandwich, salad and drinks over, it would be TWO three-bean wraps greeting us in five minutes. Lordy lord! The whole lot cost £12.60. Nope, your eyes aren't deceiving you. The soup was lush, it was a sunny day but with a nip in the air and this stodgy veggie stew was just what I needed. Mum's sandwich was delicious too; the salad we'd made up had all sorts in it - pesto pasta, two kinds of coleslaw (one with red cabbage), beetroot, beans, the works. And as for the wrap? We split one, lovely and warm I might add, and the flavourings were tangy and delicious. But we didn't want to waste the other one. Doggy-bagging is a concept still making its way around the UK, so we're always wary to ask. We needn't have been. Our extra wrap was popped in a proper plastic food container, like the kind they use in takeaways. The lady who'd recommended the prawn curry overheard my mother telling me I had my tea sorted then and said, 'Would you like some salad to go with it?' I said sure, if that's okay, and couldn't believe my luck. She piled another container high with the whole selection from the salad bar and brought it over saying, 'Well, you can't just have that for tea can you, you need some salad with it.' I needed to rub my eyes. These people were too good to be true! Then followed a long conversation between my mother and the lady about their Liverpool histories. She's called Michelle by the way, look out for her - she's amazing. Anyway as it transpired, Michelle said, 'Don't worry if you think we're about to close, it says 2pm but it's lenient. Or if you're far away and it's getting close to 2, give us a ring and we can prepare some food for you to be ready for when you arrive.' I don't think I really need to say any more than that. Great food. Even greater people. Hardly costs a thing. Gorgeous environment. PERFECT. There are few occasions when I want to give more than five stars. This is one of them.

A recent trip to the stunning Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool (for my university graduation, not…read moreworship) brought my parents and I to the Refectory cafe for a short stop before my graduation began. Sat there in my hat and gown, I would normally have felt like somewhat of an idiot but fortunately the café was littered with graduands, as well as a few members of the clergy. Located inside the cathedral itself, the café looks out onto the grounds of the cathedral, with the leafy surroundings providing an excellent view as you have a coffee or cold drink. The large windows offer excellent light into the café, providing a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere (something I'm not used to when in places of worship if I'm honest) and the food itself was as good as the views the refectory offered, with a selection of sandwiches available as well as some delicious hot dishes. I decided to go for the meatballs (a homemade special that day) and was not disappointed as they gave me a generous portion of thick meatballs made from good quality meat. The prices were also very reasonable, not that you'd expect such places to be too extortionate, mind. A place suitable for your lunch, dinner or (last) supper (couldn't resist).
