The Cow & Co Cafe in Liverpool

Steaks cooked to perfection, really friendly staff and great wine. The place looks good the food is even better and great friendly staff with very good knowledge of wine.Highly recommend!!

I couldn't wait to try the coffee here after being offered watery rubbish at our nearby hotel. I wasnt disappointed. Great artisan coffee, friendly staff, welcoming and good options of cakes. Also beautiful pottery for sale. Thank you. That coffee set me up for the day.

Now called "Thoughtfully Cafe". Just the same and same pleasant staff serving really good strong coffee - excellent. The cakes biscuits etc were very yummy I had something that was chocolate and coconut - was great and want more but am on a diet!! (Not doing well) Nice and close to Liverpool One but far enough away to be peaceful. Sit outside as road is semi deserted.

Went for breakfast before a day wandering around lovely Liverpool. Same owners and tasty offering, but now called Thoroughly. Excellent coffee and croissants in bright and relaxing little cafe. Interesting publications to read while you relax.

Great little place for a lunch break from work. Breakfast and lunch menus. Well worth a visit. We love the upstairs with the fairy lights!

Fantastic independent cafe tucked away in a quiet side street. Best coffee in Liverpool. Great food offering too, and super-friendly service too. Highly recommended.

Alles perfekt! Herzliche Bedienung, hervorragender Kaffee, nettes Ambiente, wunderbare Toasts und Sandwiches... wir kommen immer wieder gerne!

Really lovely little cafe, away from the busy Liverpool One shopping centre. Our dog goes to the groomers next door , very chic! so while waiting for her we have a lovely coffee and snack, either breakfast or brunch which is gorgeous. Very friendly staff and atmosphere is relaxed. Lovely little cafe. Also has vegan choices.

Really nice coffee, pleasant surroundings and staff, tucked away just off the beaten track from Liverpool one bus station. Currently going through a refurb, but don't let that put you off - very popular with locals, especially first thing on a Saturday morning.

Me encanta este lugar. El mejor café en Liverpool, personal amable y aguacate tostada increíble Nunca me decepcionó, ni mis amigos.Si tiene algún problema con la gente no viene a usted quizás a pedido en el mostrador, en vez de personal y clientes en línea ofensivo (lo siento no podía ayudar, tuve que responder a otro comentario, ya que es muy injusto).

Solo fue un café Latte, pero estaba increíble de bueno y en su temperatura justa! La camarera te sirve en la mesa y el añadido de la crema formando una flor es todo un detalle

We came here with family for a hearty breakfast. The service was quite good and the coffee was very good. We found the menu quite limited, and the food got mixed reviews from different members of the party. Ultimately has stacks of potential but does seem to fall slightly short on many counts. Definitely a “cool” brunch spot.

Stumbled on this coffee shop and sat outside in the lovely hot sun to enjoy the amazing coffee. I wanted to stay away from the chains and so pleased we found The Cow & Co Coffee. Would definitely come back again!

We went to Cow & Co on Thursday lunch time with a view to getting a bite to eat. The reviews we'd read looked promising so we thought we'd give it a go. Well, we didn't get to eat, what a let down. The two of us walked into an empty café about 1.15 and sat down in anticipation. The girl at the counter glanced at us and then completely ignored us. Perhaps I didn't have the right 'funboy' haircut, lacked a waxed moustache and wasn't wearing half mast and checkered Hoxton trousers? There was not even an acknowledged "I'll be with you soon". Furthermore there were no menus on any of the tables for us to peruse whilst we waited. I have no problem at all with waiting but to be completely ignored is out of right out of order. The girl then made time for a couple of grandiose creeps with an expensive looking camera, who started throwing some vapid shapes AFTER we came in. Wannabee somethings who would fit right into this world of arty farty pretension. Finally some vacuous looking type appeared and we thought "Oh, at last..." But no. Matey boy proceeded to bring out his own lunch, sit down at a table and begin to eat whilst flicking through one of the utterly ostentatious looking magazines that littered the, frankly shabby, interior. No doubt Rectal Body Art Periodical or some such garbage. With that, and after nearly 10 minutes, we got up and left. Who wants to eat overpriced 'artisan toast' with kale anyway? We went to The Hub on Hanover Street instead and had a thoroughly enjoyable lunch. Oh, and by the way, your website is a year out of date. You're advertising things 'Just Arrived' and 'Summer Salads' with June 2017 dates. Or is this irony and "It's vintage Darling......" Beauts.

This was my first time to Liverpool and I stumbled across The Cow & Co by pure chance and I’m so glad I did. It’s a lovely little, chilled out spot with gorgeous interior and a relaxed feel. I had a really tasty coffee and the staff were incredible friendly, chatty and left me with a great first impression of Liverpool!

This was what I was served when I ordered avocado on toast... needless to say i didnt eat it. I then took it in to the manager and was charged a very slightly discounted rate. No apology. No offer of a replacement, very poorly managed. Such a shame as the location is brilliant but this coffee shop is to be avoided at all costs. I made an account purely to say this as this was such a poor experience

Esta fue mi primera visita aquí y fue una pequeña cafetería, el tiempo era magnífico, así que opté por un café con leche mientras afuera, en la zona de asientos, perfecto y muy tranquilo.

En una reciente visita a la aclamada vaca & Co, nos claramente insuficiente.

Average coffee, below average brownie. Not up to the usual hipster standard. The seating area is quite cramped and stiflingly hot. Weather today wasn't suitable for sitting outside.

I really like this place, I like their tea and coffee and their pottery. the staff is always very nice. I was disappointed last time I came because they have changed the food menu and stopped doing a delicious bacon sandwich with sourdough bread and added instead very hipster stuff such as avocado and cauliflower. Food is still surely good, I just preferred the old menu.

Encantador pequeño café con un café perfecto cada vez. Servicio rápido cuando quieran ir, pero cuidado y atención cuando estás suelto por ahí.

Llamamos con Monty, el maltipoo, nos recibió la incorporación del perro que se sentaron en cojines en la ventana. Teníamos unas tostadas y un tipo de queso/jamón. La comida estaba bien, pero me pareció que el café artesano un poco decepcionante. El ambiente es bueno y el personal era amable, simplemente que los productos podría ser un poco mejor.

Had the Nordic bagel amazing to say it was vegan full of taste and very fresh Tea served in a pot a brewed to perfection This was our first visit but not our last we found a little gem

If I had one word to describe the cow and co cafe it would be “disappointing”. Rude owners, poor choice of food and overpriced. Don’t visit.

Never in my life have I been to a cafe and they tell you, that they can’t make the sandwich you’ve had previously because it’s on the wrong day.. even though the ingredients was looking right at me.. I had a coffee.. and I look...

Have had a few culpas and cakes here and it is a really nice little place, just off the beaten track. Friendly staff, temperamental card machine, nice array of nibbles-but would not have anything other than a quick drink and cake...

Cosy little coffee shop off the beaten track. Limited choice of pastries and sandwiches but all great quality. Lots of tea and coffee options - all superb and served with a smile by the warm and welcoming staff.

Me encanta visitar vaca & co ya sea en mi propia, con amigos o con mi novio. Gran café y sentirse saludable, buena comida. Bonito ambiente relajado, podrá tomar su portátil y trabajar aquí.

A great coffee shop with nicely sourced coffee. A great spot in the city centre. Nice to go for a read or quiet time. It is a trendy coffee that opened in the late noughties. Originally it was a designer furniture shop.

The Cow & Co cafe is a quirky little place just on the edge of the city centre. Fantastic sandwiches made from traditional home made bread. Atmosphere is friendly and service is really good. They also do a mean cup of coffee, well worth a visit if you are shopping in L1.

Compramos un café y sándwich y una preciosa canela chocolate. Tienen una buena variedad de cosas como que si la gente de especialidades. He comprado té, café, etc. Sábado dentro, sentamos. . . Todo bien.

He estado queriendo escribir esto por un tiempo, ya que me parece que se han convertido en un semi-cliente habitual. Me encanta vaca & Co por el hecho de que siempre hay varias opciones fantásticas vegano - recomiendo el queso vegano con kale como la mejor cura la resaca en Liverpool? Ni una sola cosa mala de este lugar!

Disfrutamos de este café petite encantador no lejos de Liverpool 1 y de la estación de autobuses. Muy amable la chica nos sirvió y el cuidado de calidad significaba una taza de capuchino con remolino artístico en la parte superior y gran tés teteras de vidrio y es deliciosa tarta.

Yo vivo a la vuelta de la esquina y esto es usualmente la primera opción de lugares si me apetece un poco de comida simple desayuno local. Me gusta el café y creo el ambiente es relajado y el personal muy amable. Interesante leer algunas de las otras críticas aparentemente más interesado en examinar el producto este café vende más que el café en sí (la risa de San Pellegrino revisión! ). También, comentar tiempos de espera comida, sí, puede ser un tiempo para que los alimentos lleguen, es porque está preparado fresco y en una barra. El sentido común dicta que si tienes un contador, un miembro del personal y todo preparado fresco - va a tomar un tiempo. No y no lo ven aquí si quería comer algo tan rápido como humanamente posible. Yo diría que este lugar es perfecto para las tardes de domingo y almuerzos ligeros.

Después de tomar el camino equivocado, decidimos parar aquí y disfrutar de un café que se convirtió en descarado desayuno.

Fácilmente mi favorito pequeño café en el país. Bonito y tranquilo con una sensación muy acogedora. Muy buen café y sándwiches son geniales. Aioli con tocino, avo y espinacas en masa fermentada es obligatorio. Un gran error si no visita!

Like I shared in the title.. great coffee, great cakes, great service, great value for your money! Try the brownies, they are to die for!

Great staff, they were friendly and helpful despite the busy rush. Food was great. All round good spot for lunch

I've been her a couple of times now and would recommend it to anyone. The food is delicious and perfect for anyone looking to go for brunch or dinner - the waffles are unreal. The staff and the atmosphere of this little cafe makes it so much better; everyone is really friendly and you can just chill out and relax, the music is spot on!

I come here almost every single day. I'm from India and so it was very important for me to find a place where I feel at home and welcome. The staff are all so welcoming and lovely. The food is so good and their sour dough is to die for! Definitely the best cafe I've been to in Liverpool.

I'm never a person to leave reviews but feel compelled to lest it prevents others feeling as I do. The location itself is gorgeous, coffee gorgeous and food with potential to be so. The experience was let down by the customer service. Although the place is tiny and only two other customers were present, it took thirty five minutes for my partner and I to receive our order - two sandwiches (we were informed on ordering - "no bagels."). My order was not what I'd hoped but I accept this may be my own doing, having ordered "the bacon sandwich" and receiving just that, rather than with all the extras stated on the menu (avocado, tomato etc). When paying, my partner clarified we would not be expected to pay full price for aforementioned sandwich - we were told no before being charged full price. I tried to address this with the barista who was largely silent and insisted he had not charged me full price, eventually showing me (silently) the bill coming to 10.95 - despite having just charged us 11.50. The offending 55p was silently delivered to my hand without sign of apology. The overall experience left us feeling less like customers and more as hindrances.

Our first trip in to Liverpool and my partner requested to have lunch at 'a cute cafe' to which we googled and saw The Cow&Co Cafe. We were not disappointed! Very cosy inside, with outside seating and additional seating upstairs, pleasant music also! A lovely girl was serving and taking our requests and was incredible how she managed to do everything herself and kept a smile on her face. It was quite busy, to which the girl (I wish I'd got her name) coped very well with, she was very engaging with all the customers and continued to apologise for the wait, which with manners like hers and her customer service, was no problem at all. It was such a pleasure to be greeted and treated in this way, and being made sure we were satisfied. The food was delicious, as well as the hot chocolates that we ordered, which also came with a lovely heart milk art on the top! We paid at the end for our order, to which the girl gave us 10% discount for the delay, which was no inconvenience due to how well she treated us. However, it was very polite of her to do so! If and when we return to Liverpool, we shall definitely be returning and will be recommending to anyone I know visiting Liverpool too.

We popped in for a really nice coffee and croissant on Saturday lunchtime . A friendly , laid back atmosphere and good service . Very handy for Liverpool 1 and Albert Dock , and a positive change from the usual chain suspects .Perhaps the loo needs a re-think though , not the best place for it .

Great little cafe. The food, tea, coffee and the service was exceptional . . . cannot give it enough praise!!!!!!!!!

Had a late breakfast with a great ham sandwich and a nice cup of tea. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Recommended! :)

Really enjoyed the food and the lady working was so helpful and friendly. Hidden gem and will be sure returning!

Welcoming friendly atmosphere with great service. Menu is sufficient to cover all tastes' and coffee selection is worth a visit alone.

Really friendly staff. Bought pot tea £2.79 for two; this got us 4 cups of tea. Milk served in a shot glass so we spilt some! Didn't try the cakes because we were going to a restaurant, but they looked delicious (every customer bought cake). Small venue housing 5 tables with more upstairs. The toilet was behind the counter and looked like it was being upgraded. Unfortunately not accessible to wheelchairs; there is a step in and down at the main door.

Terrible food served by inexperienced staff. Ham and cheese sandwich contained the thinnest slice of ham I have ever seen and a slice of cheese, cut with a butter knife ( I watched) so thick I couldn't eat it. Then chased down the street, because the girl couldn't remember that we had paid before we got our food.

I come in here most days to get my coffee and love it! The staff are so friendly and even recognise my face to my coffee order. When asking about their food they let us know where they get their bread from. Am yet to eat here, but will very soon!

Had a really nice lunch here on Sunday. The staff are friendly, laid-back, but attentive at the same time. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced.

A mere stonesthrow from the buzzing Liverpool ONE it is worth crossing the road and finding somewhere where its not all multiples like Costa and Starbucks. The staff are lovely and calm as is the whole feeling to the place. Sandwiches are certainly different with contents I have never heard of so I stayed safe and it was yummy. The whole place as small as it is (I think you can eat upstairs also?) full of really nice people. Some places extend a welcome to the right person. The coffee and the tea are very good. Walk 100 yds away from the madness of shopping and experience a nice little cafe with lovely staff and people.

First visit to this lovely café - less than five minutes from L1 shoppingSuper service, great coffee and lovely food.

I love visiting this lovely coffee shop for the wonderful food, service and an atmosphere which is relaxed and friendly. The menu caters very well for all tastes, is imaginative and changes with the seasons. I definitely recommend you pay a visit next time you are in Liverpool.

Nice little place serving great coffee. We were a bit late but the young lady serving us was very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommended.

Off the 'foot fall' track but friendly staff.Coffee served in cups and glasses that could only be called small/medium...and for the price of usual coffee chains. Hmm.Filled croissants were very tasty...rather gloomy up on mezzanine level, with lights bulbs not working.

Cleveland square sits behind the John Lewis side of Liverpool One, and is a welcome oasis, when visiting .It's a cafe and also stocks locally made objects and style magazines not on sale elsewhere. The cafe is compact , having seating on two levels. Coffee is smooth and worth lingering over with a bakery item.

Visited for lunch & coffee with a vegetarian friend & enjoyed fantastic bagels followed by cake and coffee. Sat upstairs & watched the world go by while we chatted. Staff were lovely and friendly & it was nice to be out of the city centre, while still close to everything.

I loved this quaint little cafe in Liverpool! It's a shame it's not based in a more central area!! The bagels are amazing some interesting and delicious homemade combinations of ingridients !!!!! Love this place it will now become my go to cafe

Come here a couple of times a month, like the atmosphere. Coffee varies from excellent to mediocre depending on who is working. The toilet, however, is a disgrace and in desperate need of a clean!

With its glowing reviews we knew that it wouldn't be long before the cafe filled with customers so we arrived at opening time for a Sunday morning coffee and a bite to eat. Being a few minutes early, we were warmly invited to sit down inside to wait until they were ready to serve.The cafe filled up quickly with other customers not long after, many of whom looked to be regulars which is always a good sign.If you've had enough of the crowds around the docks and John Lewis nearby, it's well worth beating a path to this small, independent cafe.

A rushed coffee but next time it certainly wont be!! The place is delightfully small and very neat. The welcome was superb and the coffee was brilliant. One of the best. The food on show looked very yummy and I will without a seconds thought be trying it next time. This place is very close to "Liverpool One" and is worth the tiny walk out of the new into the old. Brilliant

I pop in here at least once a week as I live close by, lovely place to sit and have a coffee off the beaten track. The food is always so nice and fresh too! Lots of choice from bagels, croissants with loads of different fillings, they do cake as well! The girls in there are always friendly and happy to help with anything.Definitely recommend if you are after a quiet coffee!

Small, friendly, quaint place with good fresh food choices. In a nice quiet corner, it is easy to miss. The outdoor seating is nice on a warm day. Good vegetarian and healthy choices.

Hidden away from Liverpool one is one of my favorite cafés in Merseyside. For the better part of four years I lived in Australia where a good coffee is one of the most important part of everyone's morning. When I returned to England I tried to find somewhere, anywhere in Liverpool that made good coffee . I admit I am a coffee snob . I am hard to please . But ever morning I buy a flat white at the cow and co and I am happy. I am so happy to have found this place! The staff are friendly, warm and actually very funny if you get to know them. The cafe itself is clean, well look after and just the right amount of hipster to seem new while still making you feel welcome . Even when its busy it doesn't feel crowed and they staff do there best to keep up with orders . The food is outstanding but sadly I don't get the time to eat there as much as I would like to ( but try the cake ! Cake for breakfast ! Don't worry no one will judge you ! ) . Please do yourself a favour and pay a visit to this wonderful little café .

I work in Liverpool city centre so frequent C&Co regularly and it hits the spot every time. Popped in on my lunch today for the veggie special id spied on Instagram- a sweet potato, kale and ricotta filo pie with orzo pasta and salad. So tasty, massive portion and super service as per. I feel slightly defensive of Cow & Co in regards to the previous review as I've been coming here for over a year (jumped on the indie bandwagon???) and not once has any of the waitress's/ waiter behaved how he described and far from pretentious. Anyway my lovely lunch was accompanied by caffeine fixing cappuccino, a perfect visit to Cow and Co again. I'll be back on my lunch break soon!!

I heard that Cow and Co was dog friendly and was keen to try it. I was not disappointed! It's a quirky independent that's in a great location for watching the world go by. My dog, Daisy was made welcome by both staff and customers, and the food was gorgeous. It just took a while for me to choose what to have! I had the best chai tea with several top ups - nothing was too much trouble for Laura who was a delight! I had a real sense of community as locals and people from nearby businesses popped in for a drink and a chat. It's wonderful to see independent businesses thrive in Liverpool and I will be a regular at this little gem.

When you want a sandwich and a coffee, this is the place. Staff, food and drinks are excellent. Situated close to Liverpool One and the Albert dock. Well worth a visit, I'll certainly be going back.

Wow! What a find, stumbled across The Cow & Co Cafe before Light Night. Being vegan can sometimes mean dull and boring options but not in this case. Enjoying the sun on the outdoor seating I had smashed avocado with hummus & sun dried tomatoes with a delicious peach iced tea, it was beautiful. The care an attention taken by the lovely quirky staff was noted and I will be back next time I'm in the area. Well done!

This is one of my favourite places to eat in Liverpool. It has a nice laid back atmosphere and the staff are always happy to help. The food is freshly prepared and they do an outstanding selection of veggie dishes that are well thought out and full of flavour. We'll worth the visit!

Never been even though I drive past most days. My girlfriend was recommended by a co worker. Was not disappointed. Even though their menu was limited I asked could I mix a couple of things and it was no issue. I had the smashed avocado on toast with some smoked salmon. Simple but lovely. The girlfriend had smoked bacon and cream cheese croissant. If you are in Liverpool one certainly worth a visit.

Not sure why everyone has given this such a good review. The staff were rude and unhelpful. The sandwich I ordered was also dry with wilted lettuce.

I go often. The service is great, , the deco amazing, the taste of the coffee, their bagels and even the style of the staff... but the best 2 things are:- The temperature of the coffee, you do t have to wait 2 hours to start drinking your brew.- The music playlist, amazing... Always surprise me we a couple of tunes and bands.

Lovely cafe with excellent coffee and hot chocolate. Nice atmosphere and good service. Food looked great and freshly prepared. Placed to eat outside and many people were taking advantage on first weekend of proper Spring

Had a lovely visit to Cow & co today with our dog. She was made very welcome. All the big chains asked us to sit outside in the pouring rain. Not at Cow & co, she was able to sit on my knee and enjoy the company whilst my friends and I had a good catch up. Nice drinks and cake for the humans as well. Will definitely go back. They aren't far from the shops, well worth seeking this little place out.

It was hard to find you but it was 100% worth it. Modern interior and fancy design with cute, little shop on the side and newspapers on the other. Delicious coffee and yummy cakes. I will definitely be back very soon.

Lovely little cafe, great atmosphere and quality food and drink. The service was really good, everything meticulously prepared and very well presented!

I had just been for a pamper next door at whitehaus and my dogs were getting a pamper at dog one. Needed a coffee fix. Lovely independent coffee shop with such friendly staff.Fees quaint and modern with a friendly atmosphere

Enjoyed my latte whilst chilling out watching people queuing up to come into my fine City. I like here it's small and quaint. Sit outside if you prefer to or read a magazine inside. I will sample the food on my next visit.

Set just outside Liverpool One this small cafe has a limited menu but the food we had off it was fresh and delicious.Worth seeking out...we will be back

I had heard good things about The Cow & Co Cafe and so was excited to treat myself to lunch whilst on a shopping trip to town. Firstly, it was quite hard to find the location of the cafe but I didn't mind that, as people were very helpful to give directions on the way.The worst thing is that as you walk into the cafe there is a steep step down that must definitely be a health and safety breach. I fell on my knees and the staff said nothing and didn't even ask if I was alright! Another customer helped me to my feet and said she did exactly the same thing when she walked in. Whilst I was in the cafe another woman came in and fell down the step too! The cafe owner really needs to sort this out because it is a dangerous hazard. In the cafe's defense, there is a sign hanging in the front door window saying 'Mind the Step' written on a chalkboard but as it is hanging behind the cafe opening times it is difficult to see and not a visible enough warning. Plus, whilst in the cafe I heard the staff talking to each other about how people should look where they are walking,referring to the lethal step - but how many people look at their feet when they open a door and walk into a cafe?! I thought the staff were very unsympathetic and unreasonable to make these comments - definitely not customer focused.However, on the up side the food is fresh and delicious! I had a cream cheese, thyme and tomato sandwich and really enjoyed it. The pot of Assam tea was lovely too but I was disappointed it could not be accompanied with a cake as they had run out (it was only 12.30pm on a Thursday!).The atmosphere was nice and it was a good place to come for a peaceful lunch or even better a takeaway to avoid overhearing the staff who had a sort of 'student-snobbery' in that they were pleasant to fellow students but less warm and friendly to people who were not students which was disheartening to see. Customer service could definitely be improved.Overall, I won't be in a rush to visit The Cow & Co Cafe again but as I now know where it is I may grab a takeout sandwich but will be extra vigilant to 'mind the potentially neck-breaking step!!!!!'

Cow som našla úplne náhodne. Pokiaľ si chcete dať pohov od nákupov v neďalekom Liverpool One, Cow&Co padne velmi dobre. Zariadená v kvázi Skandi štýle, robia tu skvelé flat white, majú výborné sypané čaje (turecké jablko na zahriatie v daždivom dni) a od nedávna majú aj licenciu, takže si tu môžete dopriať aj inovatívne miestne alko nápoje. Predávajú tu aj celkom dobrý výber špecializovaných časopisov.

overpriced small menu bad service poor hygiene of food very disappointedalthough love the location Did have nice seats outside.

I really liked this cafe, I like the food they serve, and the fact they sell vegan options! They don't really offer much choice of food though. I love the decor of the shop. It has a really nice, relaxed vibe and I love the way they sell lots of different teas. It's a hidden gem as the location is not somewhere obvious, but I am glad I went!

Went by here for some lunch and though service is a little slow (only two staff members), they told us that it would be a few minutes for coffee and bagels to be ready. Nice scene and atmosphere and would really like to come down for coffee and for a calm, nice place to work. The bagels we had were delicious (taleggio, balsamic blueberries and rocket). Slightly pricey but overall really nice food and I would come back definitely.

This is an interesting Arty little Cafe hidden away, but only round the corner from John Lewis.The concept is good and its location is very different but the menu is limited and the advertised Homemade Soup and roll was off the menu. I had the bacon spinach and tallegio sandwich which was tasty but the bacon was streaky and reheated. Coffee was good and served in quirky cups.The staff were friendly although one was scoffing food while she was serving, I guess she must have been hungry. The Cafe also sells some of its products from its online shop.

Great little place excellent coffee and cakes. Close to John Lewis and in a quiet area opposite the "wheel" on Albert Dock

This is listed in the top dozen coffee shops to visit in Liverpool and deservedly so. Only small and hidden away in Cleveland Square which is just to the rear of the Police HQ building. Good selection of snacks and cakes, I tried the meringue which was very nice. Coffee is very good and prepared by people who know what they are doing. Support these independent coffee shops and stay away from the chains, you will notice the difference.

This little gem is to be found just across from Albert Dock and by the garden created on the site of an old church. Sat outside enjoying a mellow coffee and a slice of delicious marmalade and almond cake - brought out to the table by the friendly staff.

Came here for a late breakfast as waffles were advertised on the board outside, however weren't available when we went inside. The coffees (two lattes) were lovely, however when our bacon sandwiches came I was very disappointed. Reheated, fatty chunks of bacon, and when I asked for ketchup (which you'd think would be standard anywhere that serves breakfast) was told that they don't do it. Really disappointed considering the price.

Went here for breakfast and although the staff were friendly and the cafe was cute it took around 35 minutes to get a bagel with Nutella and banana! As there was one staff member I think they need to up their game and employ more. Probably the type of cafe people will only go once. Slow service!

Beautifully kept and presented little café with a short but interesting brunch menu - bagels, waffles et al. I went for a bacon, spinach, & tallegio bagel, a bit different and delicious with crisp salty bacon, iron-ey spinach, and intense cheese on a brilliant sea salt and fiery jalapeno bagel. My partner had a nutella and banana bacon which was packed with chocolate and looked fab. All of the above with an orange juice and macchiato set us back a little over £12 - brilliant value, not to be missed.

Charming little place between the Albert Dock and the Baltic Triangle. Smooth tasting coffee served in cute little mugs. The shop in itself is quirky with various knick knacks for sale and a selection of books and magazines. Cosy little place with warm and friendly staff.

Made up I've found this little coffee spot in town.It's in a great location just around the corner from the madness of L1 and just over from The Albet Dock.Our coffees were really tasty, I had a soy latte and it was so smooth. I also really appreciated the funky mug it came in, nice crockery is always a bonus! The cafe itself is proper cute and relaxed, I even noticed some blankets if you wanna sit outside. Nice touch.Will be back.

Sit in Cow&Co listening to music over an excellent coffee and a view out over the square and you could be forgiven for thinking you were in, say, Amsterdam, not a city centre. Not cheap but definitely chilled and worth the 5 minute walk for Liverpool One.

This little cafe is totally unique in Liverpool and the coffee is the best in the city. Really relaxed atmosphere and great music. Wooden boards of cake and sweet treats on the counter looked amazing but I had the YUMMIEST fresh bagel overflowing with chorizo and manchego. Picked up a couple of magazines I've only found in the Tate Modern previously, and they have lots of cool homewares on display so bought a vase as a gift, too. I think they have a bigger shop online.Looks good, sounds good, tastes good. I'll be back for weekend waffles! x

From the outside this place looks like a nice cafe on the opposite side of the main road to Albert Dock. In a party of 3 we entered and as there were no seats available downstairs we asked the lady serving if there was a table upstairs. She checked, there was, and we went upstairs. However nobody appeared to clean the pots from the previous occupants nor to wipe the table of crumbs. We did this.We then placed our order at the till for two 'bacon avocado and cream cheese' sandwiches and one 'chorizo, manchego and red pepper' sandwich. These were priced at £4.45 each we also fancied the 'san pellegrino blood orange' drink and ordered 3 at £1.75 each. We seemed to wait a lifetime for these to arrive and when they did the waitress realised the chorizo sandwich had been replaced by humous by the cook. Hence we still had to wait a lifetime for that sandwich and eat separately. The size of the sandwiches is very small for the price paid. Also the drinks did not arrive until the food had almost been eaten. I at first thought that the delay was due to sqeezing so many oranges. However when the drinks finally arrived they were tins of gassy tasteless pop - at £1.75 each - a rip off. I would not recommend this cafe to others.

Stopped in for a coffee to go, cute/small and quirky place lovely staff and would be nice to sit in with a friend, very intimate venue.

On a grey December morning, shambling towards the ultra modern steel & glass of Liverpool One I noticed the stylish deep blue awning shading the large and lovely victorian shop front windows and outside tables of Cow & Co Cafe. The cobbles and trees of the little square in front and the proximity of the river, not visible, but present nevertheless, giving it a feel of Copenhagen or a quiet corner of Amsterdam; I bet it would be a gorgeous spot to sit out on sunny afternoon! I hadn't intended treating myself to a peaceful interlude in between my morning chores, but its welcoming interior minimally cluttered with comfortable seating and tables from some clever Danish designer and metal and bare wood shelves with nicknacks and books was too hard to resist. A perfect Cortado and Sourdough Toast with Blueberry Jam (the kind where the berries look freshly picked from some verdant spruce forest in the far north) provided more than enough deliciousness to lure me back to try some of the other morsels on the menu, which includes cakes, bagels and waffles. It is the kind of cafe that anybody who has ever wanted to open a cafe would wish to create.

The food options are great but unfortunately takes so long to come! I love going on my lunch hour because it is quiet and the ambiance is chilled out, but I can't finish my sandwich and coffee in there in an hour because it takes sometimes 40mins to actually getting everything you've ordered! The coffee as well as the service is very poor. I'm quite a coffee addict and when i was younger I was trained by an Italian barista so I think I have a certain expectation. I was disappointed when I asked if my coffee shot could be poured over my hot water not the other way round. (I know this sounds fussy) it's just I have black coffee and I like it strong so if it's done a shot of coffee first it tastes burnt. Normally they accommodate and do it for me but today the lady seemed very confidant in explaining that they do the coffee first and that's the way they do it. I politely asked if I could have my coffee the way I would like it as after all I'm paying! I found her quite rude. Won't be going back any time soon
