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.

What a fabulous event venue! I attended a wedding reception here recently, and it was a great…read moreexperience all around. The location is top notch. Right downtown Liverpool, near just about everything, and just a few blocks from River Mersey. We walked here after the actual wedding down the street at City Hall, which was perfect. I learned while there that this building is a former bank. It's since been polished with fresh flooring, pendant lights, light paint colors and an overall airy-feel. Even after all of the wedding reception dinner tables were put out, there was still plenty of space to hang out and mingle. Off to the far-side is a full service bar as well, and let me tell ya they make dang good espresso martinis (which I needed for the jet lag)! You'll find bathrooms tucked downstairs and they are oh so cute, with fun and colorful decor. You can tell photo-ops happen there :) But the real treat of it all is the rooftop with stunning view of River Mersey and the city skyline. Sounds like they do afternoon tea (how English of them, lol!) and plenty of other events here too!

Oh Me Oh My - you guys, this place. I'd move to Liverpool just for this place…read more On our last day, only an hour or two before heading to the airport, we figured we had to end our little trip with a typical British Afternoon Tea. Something that had been on my wish list for years, and Oh Me Oh My seemed to be the best spot. With teas from Liverpool-based Leaf and the pretty atmosphere we already experienced when being in the building the day before, this was a definite hit. We payed £ 16 p.p. for afternoon tea, with as much different tea as we wanted and lots of different tasty goods - both sweet and salty. It's also possible to add prosecco for I thought £ 4. What we ate? Sandwiches (with hummus - instead of salmon, egg and cream cheese), toast, scones with jam and clotted cream, brownie, lemon cake and crème brûlée with shortbread. More than enough for a proper lunch - we enjoyed every single bit, but absolutely had enough. Oh Me Oh My - the perfect afternoon tea (or lunch)-place.

I'm not sure whether to go as far as calling this one of those hip cafes, but then again I am in…read moreEngland, and what I get here isn't necessarily going to be the same as what I would get in Australia. 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.

Popped in here on Saturday whilst out shopping with my Mum and was very surprised to see how busy…read moreit was...and how much it's grown since last time I visited there a number of years back! 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.

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.

It is so in need of some new signage to get rid of that terrible font. There is a really grotty rubbish bin right outside the door - presumably for smokers but it's enough to put me off eating there. The interior however is pleasant. I'm not sure why Fenwicks call's itself a coffee shop instead of a Cafe - this is Liverpool, not Amsterdam. Besides the regular tea and coffee there is a good selection of homemade hot food to eat in or take away. Liverpudlians enjoy late nights and later mornings.

It's a lovely little spot and the service is always very friendly and efficient, plus any particular requests are more than happily accommodated. Their breakfasts are the stuff of legend, but that's not to say the rest of the food on offer is lacking in any way. This is proper down to earth cooking, stodgy stuff that might well fur up your arteries but will put hair on your chest and set you up for the day, particularly if it's a chilly one. Plus there's some seating outside for sunnier climes and there's nothing nicer than soaking up the rays with a good coffee and an interesting book. Definitely one to try out if you're located centrally for the day.

The Tavern on the Green provides a very nice kicked back setting to just lounge. As I was visiting…read moresome friends in Liverpool, we were in search of an establishment that provided a nice soft ambiance where we can catch up, actually hear each other, and have drinks. The Tavern on the Green provided this setting. It's really a nice place to socialize and a far cry from a typical pub bar, or club you'll find around the area. First impression is upscale wine bar, but it's not. Tavern on the Green rovides a nice balance of bar, lounge, and coffee house which I would assume is dependent upon the time and day.

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.
