I think this has to be one of my favourite coffee houses. The key attractive features for me are the fact that the coffee is Fair Trade (v. important) and secondly they do really cheap take out coffee at a £1 or 86p with a loyalty card. For none coffee drinkers there is tea and hot chocolate etc! Fancy a bite to eat, they offer breakfast and when it gets to lunchtime - panini's, sandwiches and soup. Thankfully they also do cake - good! Interestingly enough the coffee house isn't just a day thing. They also have a jazz night every other Friday. Or if you want your own event then you can hire the place for free. They welcome book clubs, university groups etc....cool!

At the top of a steep set of stairs off Lord Street is the stylish and civilised Rococo. A cafe exuding class and high quality with the high-backed studded leather seating, chandeliers and gold furnishings practically dripping from the walls. It cuts a fine shape and you feel above the hustle and bustle of the main street, (mainly because you are, but also because you feel so darned refined!) They serve a selection of iced drinks for the summer - a frappe to remind me of a hot summer in Cyprus, refreshing and nostalgic! Yummy cakes - try the lemon, the icing is so good! And some elegantly prepared sandwiches and paninis (roast pepper and goats cheese, mmm) It's a good place to go with your laptop to do a bit of work, with a light lunch on the side of course! Rococo is deceptively big with an extra room full of comfy couches and also up some More stairs, a function room which hosts live gigs and can be hired out for free. Also, is Jazz in cafes the new 'in' thing? If so, Rococo have jumped on said bandwagon and have a great jazz night on Fridays after 7pm. They also serve alcohol so if you fancy a cheeky tipple in sophisticated relaxed surroundings then Go Go to Rococo!

Rococo is an independently owned coffee bar (on the first floor of 62 Lord Street) featuring stylish yet relaxing décor. You can choose from a wide selection of hot beverages, alcoholic drinks including liqueur lattes, and freshly prepared food ranging from hot panini's to indulgent slabs of cake, courtesy of Liverpool institution Dafna's Cheesecake Factory. I went for one of their many selections of panini's (cold) as I wanted something quick to munch on for lunch. After much time standing in front of the fridge, I chose the cajun chicken panini for £3.75 which did not disappoint. Usually cold food does not whet my appetite but on a warm day, it was something of a healthy choice instead of me going for a fry up. Inside was quite impressive in terms of décor as the building does not look much from the outside, plus I hardly ever notice this place and when I do, I tend to think of it as just an average café but it had a luxury feel about it, including posh chairs and sofas. The prices are generally dear but you are paying for good food and service, with a pleasant environment to go with it. This wonderful city centre café is like a hidden gem in disguise.

What a little find, and you do have to search for it surprisingly hard to come across it despite Rococo being right under your nose - or rather just above your head. I have no idea how long this place has been here for but it could have opened a decade ago and I would never have found only to come across it through Yelp's intrepid explorers. Found at the top of a set of stairs above the shops of busy Lord street, Rococo feels like a coffee shop that could be found in Amersterdam - not one of those - or Paris. The big bay windows provide a good spot for people watching on the busy street below or plenty of big armchairs offer comfy seating. Oh yes and good coffee!

Comfy sofa times! Milkshake is great too!

Fantastic little independent cafe in the heart of Liverpool. Worth a visit just for the eccentric seating and wide variety of coffee menu alone, sandwiches are pretty appetising too. This venue is part of independent Liverpool so for that reason alone I hope it thrives in relation to its chain competition across the road. Stop by here during a busy shopping and sightseeing trip and you won't be dissapointed. If you're really lucky you'll get a window view over the city centre too!

With youth on its side, this difficult to pronounce coffee shop is one of those independents we all seek out and know we should really visit instead of identikit Neros and Starbuckses. After all, who doesn't want a little variation in their bean, a little more homemade rustic ambience to their muffins and cakes? Rococo fits the bill and then some. Tucked away on the first floor of the building in which it resides, it's one of those easy to miss little gems that hasn't yet been taken over entirely by hoards of city slickers. Amazing considering its proximity to Liverpool One, and an added bonus if you're looking to get away from the madding crowd. The quirky and plush interior really does give it something special as well. Big sofas and armchairs, damask gold flecks on the walls, and my favourite thing to contrast it all - bare brick walls and well kept floorboards. It also manages to remain cosy due to its somewhat dinky size. The service, while not having that take-under-your-wing and almost hug you vibe many Liverpool independents have, is absolutely fine. It's prompt, it's efficient and it's not overly chatty, which sometimes is just what you're in the mood for. And if you're planning a long stay, you can grab a glass of wine or a bottle of beer in the evening when it takes on much more of a bar atmosphere. Grub-wise you do actually get your food brought over to you but you pay at the counter, as with many bars. The sandwiches are fresh and made to order as opposed to suffocating in cellophane all day like many coffee shop butties do. Panini melts are particularly good here and you can choose your fillings as and when - classics like tuna, brie, bacon, roast veg, meatballs, honey roast ham and similar. The portions are mighty generous too and the cakes are rather stunning, starting at a mere £1.85. Cappuccinos are only £1.95 which is nothing short of a miracle in this day and age, and the alcoholic drinks are fairly reasonable too. Friday night is live jazz and swing, and as a result it's two for one on beverages throughout the evening. DEFINITELY not to be sniffed at. All in all a simple, pretty place I'd happily return to.

Funky coffee house

Shiraz Merlot Clairet…read moreCabernet Sauvignon Chardonnay Soave Pinot Noir Verdelho or Riesling? Whatever your choice of wine, this branch of Oddbins has a great selection of European, English and New World wines. Prices range from £7-£15 for a great bottle of red, white or rose but they usually have special offers on for around a fiver too. The staff are friendly and knowledgable and more than happy to recommend new wines if you're looking for something fruity, spicy, dry or sweet. They also have regular tastings on Saturday afternoons where you can sample new lines. The reason I've given it an extra star is simple: last time I popped in they were playing a classic Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra album. How many other off licenses offer customers sublime wine and sublime music? My point exactly!

This place gets 10/10 for knowledgeable and friendly staff! I shop here whenever I want a really…read morespecial bottle of wine for a special occasion and they're always soo helpful! They really do know everything about wine.. Inside out. I know nothing about wine, and this is obvious, but they never make you feel silly or patronised! Instead they put everything in layman's terms to help you find the right wine for your meal or occasion. They can even recommend a wine to suit whatever you're planning to cook for your dinner. They have a huge selection of different wines and their prices range from about £5.99 up to £50+ Well worth a look and getting a nice bottle or red for a treat, a present or a special occasion!

As long as you don't mind queuing with a tramp for what you imagine is some much needed booze at…read more3am - and lets face it if you're getting more booze at this time then one more tramp is going to bother you - then this is the place for you. Swift Drinks offers 24 hr booze supply for those who just don't know when enough is enough and God bless them for it. The saviour of many a Saturday night/Sunday Morning when town just isn't enough for a good time! What can I say there is often a grizzled, goblin-like man in a glass booth despatching drink and fags to people with a menacing, bitter quality because, well they're trapped behind a glass booth and you're all partying til the early hours.

It's pretty much an all night off licence, fashioned a little bit like an Australian bottle shop! Keep your wits about you when you buy from here though as sometimes weird characters hang around this place in the middle of the night. A friend of mine almost got mugged walking away from this place with a crate of beer; luckily he managed to get to a black cab in good time! This place sells beers, cigarettes, wines, and spirits throughout the night and is very reasonable priced considering! They also sell condoms, if you're caught short on the way home from a club with someone you've picked up! They sell loads of snacks too! Crisps, chocolate, sweets etc! Great for those with the munchies in the middle if the night! Your can get a can of Fosters for £1.10, and I think this is the cheapest beer they sell. Just look out for pissed people after a kick off in this area late at night!
