Hemingways Coffee House in Liverpool

Great breakfast and very friendly staff, perfect for a quick bite!

I used this venue to provide catering for a corporate function and would highly recommend them. Reasonable prices and met a number of different dietary requirements. Will definitely use them again.

Love Hemingways, the staff are fantastic and are always open and helpful during our open mic nights. It's a great atmosphere with a flow of good drinks.

£5.40 for a sausage bap, consisting of 2 measly supermarket sausages in a small dry bap (the small dry bap was an 'extra' £1 as part of the cost). I thought places like this in London were the worst, but congratulations Hemingways for providing the worst value for money I've experienced in many years (I travel 15 days a month to various cities, so I have a large bank of reference establishments). What a complete and utter rip off. If I hadn't been in a rush I would have made my feelings known directly to the manager, whom I'm hoping would have felt appropriately embarrassed and ashamed.

Sunday breakfast what a treat, lovely food and drink, great friendly service

Fantastic service, kind and friendly people… Ross Norah cathrine made our visit very enjoyable and would come back again over and over!!!

This food is banging I can't lie this is a hidden gem right here staff is really nice just a wholesome place all around

Great Coffee can't comment on the food

Just happened to be going past and thought I'd drop in for a pint. It's a bit on the outskirts of the city centre but it seems like a nice place with nice staff and they pull a nice pint. They have a stage so it looks like they have artists on stage during the day. Didn't stay long enough to see the acts so will have to return to see what they are like.

Went in mid week, wasn't busy. Great choice of wine. Friendly chatty staff.

The Internet is very weak and slow. The music is good 👍🏼 but sometimes it is too loud and more suitable for weekend nights

Only stayed for a coffee, but service and quality were both excellent. Will be back soon for food one day.

We stumbled across this lovely little bar recently, lovely service and complementary bar snacks while we had a drink. Will definitely be going back to try the food next time

Charming bar with a great drinks menu. Was lucky enough to visit during happy hour to take advantage of the 2 for 1 cocktail deal. Lovely staff and cracking atmosphere too.

Great customer service! The hot chocolate and mocha were delicious 😋

Had a couple of great nights in here over last couple of months watching Jimmy coburn. Live music excellent and bar staff really hard working and nice got the owner converted into putting cointreau in his bailey's😂 he'll even take the time to have a drink and conversation with you highly recommended get the cointreau out I'll be back with freinds this Saturday for another great evening. Keep up the good work. Couldn't put stars in for food unfortunately as haven't tried it yet but if it's like your customer service and welcoming bar I'm sure it's 5 star

Affordable food and drink. Nice atmosphere. Probably my favourite place to watch a midday kick off

We've had 2 family parties here in the past 5 months and have now become regulars. Guests all commented on what a great venue this is. Food, drinks, service, atmosphere and staff are all great and everything is very reasonably priced.

It’s quite a cozy cafe with clean and decent interiors. Ordered a Mocha and a Brie & Cranberry panini which was totally worth the spend. The Mocha was a perfect balance between sweet and bitter, and just hot enough to enjoy sipping. Service was quite quick, and customer satisfaction wasn’t compromised at all. Absolutely loved the thoughtfulness behind serving a side of salted nachos acting as a palate-cleanser, just so the panini and mocha don’t ruin the experience. Would 110% recommend!

Just spent a couple of hours in there before boarding my train to London great beer staff and atmosphere plus excellent live music

Ross has great customer service freindly atmoshere great ingredients in thebfood. Coffee amazing you get what you pay for usually but Hemmongways surpasses this. Music playlist is great will go back

What a gem. Staff are sound Ross must have a blackbelt in customer service. Nothing too much touble the best breakfast in Liverpool by far great ingredients and super value. Amazing coffee and the music playlist makes you not want to leave

Love this venue! The staff are always so nice to me, make me feel very welcome and they serve delicious Hot Chocolate with a JD Gentleman on the side !! ... the Wednesday evening open mic is such a cool vibe with the host Bert being one of the nicest i've come across - and he's starting to give Conversational French lessons on a Wednesday early evening too ... will continue to travel to this venue for the vibes and general niceness of it all. Cheers All.

Absolutely terrible coffee, grumpy Barista. Never again.

I'm doing a Postgraduate Pathway, at the nearby Liverpool John Moores University Faculty of Health, and found this little, "Nuggett", purely by chance. It's inconspicuous in its Location, but wow, what an absolute hidden Gem. Love its Funky Decor and Background Music. It's a Cafe AND Bar which puts on Live Gigs, and has Open Mic and Open Vinyl Nights. Staff are brilliant, as is the Customer Service. Great Selection of competitively priced Food and Drink, and the Egg, Bacon, and Sausage Sandwich is amazing. Cannot recommend Hemmingways highly enough. See you in the New Year.

One of the hidden gems off the city. Amazing coffee and pints of an evening always events on if a night time too. Comedy night. Open mic and open vinyl. Perfect place to people watch

Customer service here is absolutely amazing, a pleasure to stop by for a drink, a snack, or a chat! Everyone is incredibly helpful and will go as many miles as needed to accommodate you!

Our LBGT walk group attended here for drinks and a big social . Lovely little bar. Drinks were Brilliant no complaints all happy overall. Big praise for Lioni and Ross. Hope correct names. Both were Brilliant and friendly. And the drink recommended was fantastic. I had lots of praise how good it looked. I loved it. I'd deffo come again for a little date night. If you want a quiet date bar come here. Live band too . Thank you again. You made the group very happy and merry for the clubs that followed Hahaha 😆

Great music, great cocktails, great staff, great vibes.

Great bar family run.. refreshingly warm welcome and service..we will be back

Fab staff and gorgeous cocktails. Highly recommended day or night.

As my title would suggest, like the great author Hemingway, this delightful medium size café come evening bar, is both understated and packs a punch. I visit Liverpool regularly on business, and need to eat out for breakfast. Since the pandemic most of the cafe's don't open until 08.00hrs at the earliest, but Hemingway's is open from 07.30hrs, perfect for my office hours. This is definitely a UK rather than Euro style breakfast option, but absolutely not a greasy spoon. More funky blues bar. The coffee is excellent, and the fried egg and bacon toasted sandwich (£4.95), was everything it should be.. Real fresh, doorstep bread, thick tasty bacon, and a fresh tasting runny egg. (Note to self, ask for the egg a little harder next time). With a large glass of carton OJ this all came to £8.95. There are wraps available, yoghurt and granola, jumbo cook breakfast, or pick and choose. No sign of fresh pastry's, but to be fair I forgot to ask for a definitive answer. Service was quick and cheerful, I was first through the door at 07.30hrs, and they were good to go. No faffing around while the hot plate warmed up etc. I shall be returning soon, as this is a great find.

Nice coffee shoo...sensible prices.

Nice little coffee shop that transforms into a bar in the evening. Went to watch the Eurovision final and the atmosphere was amazing! Nice friendly crowd, family and dog friendly! Enjoyed a few of their cocktails including the slightly ahead of its time ‘Zomb-Tea’ (I think that’s how they spell it)…they livened things up with some blow up musical instruments to add to the overall vibe of the evening. Every seemed to have a great time. Service was great (order at the bar, delivered to table). Recommended.

We called into this café bar for a light breakfast. We enjoyed tea and toast which was very reasonably priced. It seemed to be very popular with people on the way to work.

Popped in for a coffee last night - well, a Mocha and it didn't disappoint. It's under new management and so a nice fresh feel about it - relaxed atmosphere just what I needed after a full days' work - and was open at 8pm, which was also a great plus. Quite a few people popped in for coffee, so had a lovely feel to it.

I love going to Hemingways! It's quite possibly one of my favourite coffee shops in Liverpool. I always get a banana nut latte or the hazelnut one. I highly suggest going there :)

£3.70 for a small soya latte Service was fine coffee isnt the best but the price was awful especially for the quality of the coffee

Well priced, friendly staff, and free WiFi is always a bonus. The coffee is a bit weak and the portion size isn't massive but is substantial. Student discount is available. Most places undercook bacon leaving the rind white and chewwy, but not Hemmingways; the rind is brown and crisp! Every time I've been in here at varying times in the day service has been quick and I've managed to get elsewhere on time. The atmosphere has a modern touch; not too lively but can act as an escape from the hustle and bustle. There are board games readily available such as Scrabble and risk if this takes your fancy.

It is conveniently located behind Moorfields Station. The coffee is very good with a good range of syrups and combination flavours to choose from. A bit pricier than Costa though.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung mit fairen Preisen. Gerne wieder.

Lovely cafe in the centre of Cheltenham. Excellent food and tea. Very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

The man who served me has no clue about customer service. Very rude and no proper manners. not even a smile when serving at the till..It's such a shame. For this reason I shall not be returning to this cafe.

Stayed just down the road at the Travelodge on The Titheburn. Visited here each morning for breakfast, £5 for a full English.

Good coffee and good toast. Nothing spectacular but good enough. It's a nicely set out place and although there are better places, it works.

It was close to the hotel. Although on the menu they didn't have porridge. We just had toast and coffee which was OK

Lovely place! Really nice jacket potato and lovely staff. I didn’t know Jackets came with cheese, and I just asked if they’d scrape it off for me, but they made me a new one right away. Absolutely gorgeous food and great service!

Had breakfast in this unpretentious cafe, set in the financial area of Liverpool. Had ordered eggs on toast, and discovered they had given me bacon as well. The large cafe space lessened the impact of the cooking.

Too expensive for th area, but near the courts so probably ok for the legal types who frequent there.

Coffee was not bad at all - but the toilets were filthy - toilet holder hanging off the wall and sink can't have been cleaned in ages. Door to the toilets absolutely black. Only food on show a few sorry looking rolls. They really need to clean up their act.

An appalling experience, and a revelation in how bad a lack of training can make an establishment a failure. Our drinks were taken to the wrong table, and one coffee was commandeered by a legal type, who clearly no longer understood the concept of telling the truth. When it became clear that the drinks were ours, I had to send the grubby fellow with the t-shirt/ hand-rag thing going on away to make more drinks, as the crockery had been well fondled by the legal eagle. I did tell him that this was a breach of etiquette, however I just don't think he was in the learning zone. The place stinks of state fat, and is expensive. The lack of direction is palpable.

Popped in here for a quick takeaway large cappuccinoand it was by no means the worst I've had, yet I've had better. I didn't taste like advice extra shot of coffee was put in, rather it seemed like it was topped up with milk. Top tip. Watch out for the 75p card charge if under £10

Visited on 23/10/2017 It was our last breakfast together of this holiday and we thought we tried this coffee shop before catching a flight. We arrived at 7:28am and had to wait outside until 7:37am despite a young waitress seeing us. We were eventually let in and no one acknowledged us or spoke with us. We went to order our breakfast and asked for some fresh muffins, but were told there was only a per-packed muffin available and that was the fresh muffin... We ordered some danishes and were served some stale and old danishes instead. We found the service absolutely awful (we were served by a man with longish hair). There was no effort for trying to smile or be polite and it made us feel uncomfortable and could not wait to leave. Food quality is poor as well, but if the service wasn't so unfriendly, we wouldn't have minded as much. I feel this should be addressed by the owner as a matter of priority.

The food and drink is nice here and the prices are typical high-end coffee shop. If you have a student card or LJMU student pass though you can get a discount. Quality takes time though, so don't pop in expecting a quick cuppa.

I took a big chocolate muffin and an espresso tazza d'oro (with cream)! Very good espresso and normally good muffin

Working in Liverpool for a day and went for lunch with my best mate. He wanted a hot sandwich but they wouldn't oblige as after 2pm - felt they may have been more polite. We each had a panini and drink which came to about £12 - value good and food ok in all. Would probably go back as convenient for work but maybe before 2pm if with him!

A really horrible 'coffee shop' which is infact a basic cafe. It stinks to high heaven of grease and burnt food. Has a limited menu for food and that in turn is poor, diced chicken, wafer thin ham and processed grated cheese are the highlights of their offerings. All in all this place is poor, a real relic of the early nineties but masquerading as a modern and lively coffee house. The staff are rude and have zero idea of hygiene, the man i ordered and paid with then (without washing his hands) made my sandwich and touched his face and hair whilst doing so. Absolutely zero idea of how wrong this is. I will never ever return and it's unfortunate i have to walk past most days.

The coffee is average and the wait was considerable. However, I was more perturbed by the appalling customer service. The white man with long hair is shockingly rude. After I had paid nearly 15 pounds for a round of coffee for colleagues he refused to split a ten pound note into to fives 'because it was against company policy'. He would only change the note if I purchased something else. He was objectionable and offensive. They also charge 75p for anything under £10, even when you pay be debit card. Take my advise and go across the road to Bean Cafe - everyone else in the know does!

Semi Regular visitor to this establishment. I usually pop in for a coffee if in the area as it is convenient for where I work. Coffee is lovely a lot nicer than the nearby Costa. It is a bit expensive however still cheaper than the Coffee Chain Shops. Staff are ok. They smile depending on however their own mood is I guess. I don`t expect too much though I only go in for a coffee.

We were on a real ale pub trail around Liverpool city centre and as we were a little early for the pubs being open we decided to drop into Hemingways Coffee House for a quick coffee.

This place is convenient for the Court but nothing much else to say. Pretty average. Bizarrely they serve a separate bowl with ice if you order a fresh orange. I'm not sure why. Very limited snack menu. Uninspiring.

Dirty place. I was there for one hour and not once was any table cleaned or cleared. In the end not one table was clear of unclean dishes. Absolute disgrace. When I rang to speak to manager the person hung up on me. Food was ok but hygiene rating should be 0 star and closed down. I am so annoyed with the lack of respect for customers.

Called in as I had a meeting locally. Had to wait for our teas and coffees for a while even though it wasn't busy. Cake was nice when it arrived tho. Maybe just a little over priced.

I waited nearly 15 in a queue to order my black coffee to go, picked it up and it had milk in-seriously it's probably the easiest drink to make. I saw 3 staff behind the counter serving/taking orders and it was complete chaos. I saw one lady come back over to say her sausage on toast had come in the wrong bread. It might have just been a (very) bad day for them but I certainly won't be going back.

Called in on the way to a court case for a takeaway coffee, which was violently hot and almost tasteless. During the lunch break we went back for a quick lunch with other witnesses, and obviously we had limited time. There were four of us; two of us got our hot drinks right away; both the others had to wait some time for their similar drinks. During this wait, one recieved her cold sandwich, the other was offered someone else's lunch. The staff were asked a couple of times when the three hot paninis were coming and we were told they were on the grill. Again yet another member of staff checked our order (despite being told by his colleague that they were on their way) We told them twice that we were now very tight on time and they eventually arrived 35 minutes after ordering and with only 5 minutes to eat them, by this time the drinks had become very cold. Considering it was a place that serviced the Legal/business area you would expect prompt service, although the Panini was good, I only had time to eat half of it.
