The Interesting Eating Company in Liverpool

Always a pleasure attending this establishment, staff are courteous, friendly and professional. Good presented always hot and fresh.

Visited today and thought food was delicious. Pancakes and milkshakes SO good but healthy options too.

We held our children’s joint birthday party here and it was amazing! Both my children have allergies and Hannah and her team were amazing at making sure they were safe and included in every aspect. The menu was carefully tailored to ensure that they could eat everything the same as their friends and it meant the world to our little boy! His little happy dance when Hannah told him the food she had prepared was the highlight of the whole thing for me. Thank you so much for going above and beyond for us!

Such a brilliant experience all round. The food was brilliant and they made the best hot chocolate my 8 year old has ever had. The service was ace and the staff were so lovely. Thank you so much for going above and beyond!

Great breakfast Accommodates dietary allergies very well Been before with the children who love the treats Definitely worth a visit

We've been a number of times and love coming back. The food is really nice, proper sausages not the cheap crap type. The pancakes are light and fluffy. For those who don't like their beans next to their food you will be fine as they are served in a little pot. Well recommended place!

What a smashing spot in Allerton. Great coffee. Brilliant pancakes. I love the poached eggs and hollandaise sauce personally. Independent and a place that values community and inclusion. I go too much probably but it’s a gem of a place.

Went here today for Fathers Day Breakfast. It was quite busy when we arrived. We sat down and ordered our food and drinks together. After 25 mins we received our food. Fifty mins in still no food. Food arrived for the adults after 55 mins. Still no pancakes for my daughter. I had to ask for my toast that came with my breakfast. Still didn't come so cancelled it. Finally after 65 mins my daughters pancakes come. No apology for the long wait. The food wasn't even worth the wait. I think this was the worst eating out experience I have ever had. I understand sometimes there are busy periods but the staff normally communicate this. Pancakes were fresh to be fair but so they should be after 65 min wait.

Fantastic party for our 7 year old daughter - she and her friends enjoyed decorating their pancakes (and eating them more!!) Hannah was fab at organizing everything, very accommodating and a saint for entertaining a bunch of hyper 7 year olds so we could just sit and have a coffee - what more can a parent want! We will be back for more pancakes soon 😊

Popped in here on my own on a whim and so glad I did Made to feel welcome and not uncomfortable as eating alone Food good in size & taste Staff friendly Would highly recommend

Discovered this little gem whilst staying in the area for the Eurovision. Loved it so much that I came here both mornings for breakfast. I had the porridge-probably the nicest porridge I've had in a while. They give you a bowl of fruit with it too. It was perfect. So many places skimp on fruit. The menu is brilliant with lots of pancake and waffle combinations as well as hot English breakfast and gluten free options. There really is something for everyone. They also serve lunch and smoothies. You'll be spoiled for choice. The staff are super friendly and helpful. They took the time to give me tips on things to see and do during my time in the city. I felt very welcome. The place is just cute and quirky with lots of colour and an adorable courtyard with bird boxes and feeders. Great biodiversity. You really feel this is a business that cares about its community impact. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely be back.

Not very interesting eating, I went in at 15:15 and was told we are closing soon so no food but you can order a drink. I only wanted a piece of cake ! The sign outside, says the don’t close till 4 o’clock , I suggest they alter the times on the sign

Upon our visit I fancied the sound of the ‘roasted vegetable savoury pancake’. I asked the waitress what that contained and she advised me courgettes, peppers, red onion, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sounded delicious so I ordered that. Unfortunately what I got was about 85% undressed lettuce and cucumber, with the remaining actual roasted vegetables. In what world is lettuce and cucumber a roasted vegetable?! Very disappointed unfortunately probably won’t be returning. Waitress was absolutely lovely however, and probably the most positive thing from our visit although no food / drink check back done.

Called in on Mother's day, a group of six, on the off chance we could get a table and luckily one had just come empty. Service and food was excellent.

If you are ever in Allenton, Liverpool then this is the place to go too. Great name because it is simply a very interesting place. Quirky, warm and inviting with friendliness abound. Pancakes were top draw, homemade and delicious. My partner (husband) him/he, loved his scrambled egg and beans on toast. Hot tasty and huge portions. It's not often you talk about the toilets but I'm going to here because there is something inside for everyone who may have forgotten anything. Very impressive.

Great place to bring your family. Pancakes and brekkies are boss. Gets busy at weekends. Staff are boss, go out if their way to look after you

My boyfriend and I were so impressed with this place and we will definitely be returning. The service was amazing and so was the food. The prices were also so good for the food that we got!! We would definitely recommend trying here. I got the pancakes with white chocolate and strawberries, my boyfriend got a jacket potato and we shared a mini stack of pancakes with sausage and maple syrup:)))

Amazing food and brilliant service by friendly staff. Our little boy loves the kids pancakes and the veggie breakfast we had was delicious. Looking forward to returning. Thank you!

very varied menu but I had the pancakes, Now I've Never been one for pancakes but the ones here are special interesting and tasty combinations that will make some think out of your comfort zone,

All the years that we have come here this has been a let down. To start we asked for a table to be but with two others inside but we were told that they dont do this so our party of 6 had to sit...

We enjoyed a delicious brunch for a family celebration. Our 1 year old LOVES the mini pancake stack and the staff are always super warm and friendly. Lovely atmosphere, the staff can't do enough for you xx

Popped in last week for a lovely iced latte. Service was great and the staff friendly. We’ve had the pancake boxes a few times and they are always packed with tasty treats

An oasis of calm with a large menu covering all dietary needs … First visit was on Sunday this week with aunty Anne for a much needed hangover veggie full English - the portions are large and much needed for the soul … Todays second...

Such a great place for breakfast. I have become a regular attender of the interesting eating company. Amazing food, brilliant service and it’s also doggy friendly! Thank you to all the team. The hot Biscoff is also highly recommended!

Shopping in the area and called in for a coffee. Nice ambience, places to sit inside or in the courtyard at back. Tables spaced out, busy too. We needed a coffee but couldn't resit the cakes - Chocolate orange cake was divine - wish we...

Great staff and lovely breakfast with great gluten free options. Staff are happy to change items on the breakfast. One of the best gluten free places in Liverpool.

I really liked it because they have something for everyone and the food came really quick for us, I really enjoyed the food as well and so did everyone else who I went with.

The best thing about here, is they literally cater for everyone. We all had different dietary requirements and were all made up we found somewhere we could go to where everyone was happy with the Menu. Vegan, Veggie, Gluten Free, Meat, Plant Based, hot meals,...

Hired this venue for my daughters 16th birthday celebration. It turned out to be a total gem - really simple to organise, no stress or hassles. Nothing was too much trouble at all. The event was just perfect. Food was lovely, the venue perfectly set...

Went for lunch with my brother (6 September), he had the (all day) breakfast, and I had the Chicken coronation sandwich with side salad with americana coffee. Sat in the so called "secret garden" at the rear of the cafe, felt like we were abroad....

Came here with my family & everyone loved they’re pancakes! Kids create your own pancakes were fun for the kids & kept them entertained 😊

I was having work done on the house and had no water or gas, so I ordered three breakfasts and an order of pancakes to be delivered. My youngest daughters scrambled eggs were inedible, so so gave her my veggie sausages. The rest of the...

This place has rude staff with awful terrible attitudes! So unwelcoming, unfriendly and this wasn’t the case for just 1 staff member but everyone who works here. Allerton Road is full of other great places to eat so don’t waste your time with this one,...

It was really good, I went with my mummy and I had haloumi salad with an Oreo shake. Come here, you’ll love it too😘. The haloumi was massive but delicious and the staff are nice too.

Had lunch delivered- pancakes, milkshakes, coffee, salad. It was really lovely and cheered us up especially my daughter’s make your own pancakes! Will order again.

Ordered a veggie breakfast via ubereats, and half of it was missing!!! There was NO halloumi, sauted mushroom, grilled tomato, OR hash brown - which it said it would include on the menu. Won't be ordering from here again

We stopped in for a quick dessert. My husband and I shared a lemon and sugar pancake and our daughter had ice cream with sprinkles. The pancake was really disappointing. It was undercooked and tepid. There was no colour on it at all. Also think...

He estado aquí varias veces, pero el peor momento fue cuando llegué hace casi 2 años en verano, por lo que realmente esta revisión está muy atrasada. Estoy realmente molesto e infeliz por cómo la camarera que servía acababa de aparecer y sonaba estresada e impaciente al hablar con nosotros, además de decir que sería una espera de 40 minutos (!) Solo por unos pocos artículos tostados. Cuando mi madre expresó su preocupación por la espera, le dijo grosera e impaciente a mi madre: "¡Porque está muy ocupado, es domingo a mediodía, estaba lleno de gente, así que tendrás que darnos 40 minutos!". Parecía molesta e impaciente con mi madre como cómo se atrevía a expresar preocupación / queja. Odio cuando los camareros hacen eso, en lugar de aceptar su responsabilidad y simplemente disculparme y explicar con calma. Necesitas habilidades de personas para desempeñar un papel como ese, y simplemente no parecía organizado en absoluto.

We decided to try this eatery one time, and unfortunately we won't return. The staff are amazing, great humour. However, the food took very long to be delivered, which was strange as it wasn't busy at all. When it eventually arrived it was ridiculously average....

Had been to Calderstones with Hubby and pup and needed a decent coffee to warm us up on cold day. Ended up trying the 'scouse' special which went down a treat and did the trick of warning me up. Hubby got stack of pancakes with...

Visited today . I have to say what a awful experience . When my order came to table it was not what i ordered . I ordered a hallumoui toastie with grilled veg . When i took a bite it was was a hummous toatie...

We were visiting our daughter for the first time at Uni - halls are close by. Had done a 3.5 hour journey and had our dog. I looked online for dog friendly cafe's and saw this one. The food was sound - two cooked breakfasts,...

Omg 5 star cleanliness rating dirty dishes all over counter Filthy kitchen area Coffee bitter horrible yuk together with managers attitude Place needs a good clean and a coat of paint radiators dirty Walked out Avoid much nicer places nearby

I have been to this place regularly for sunday breakfast for at least a year and have always been satisfied with the service the atmoshhere and the food I have always left feeling that I have enjoyed the place I became me and my daughters...

Esperamos años para ser atendidos y los niños se hartaron, después de pedir ir allí como regalo. La joven rubia que nos atendía era encantadora, ¡pero tenía muy poco personal y parecía hacer el trabajo de tres personas! La comida estaba bien, pero había perdido el apetito cuando llegó. Hablé con el gerente, ¡pero estaba distraído por tener que ir a lavar los platos él mismo! ! ! ! !

Waited an hour for food, Which was not very hot, lattes arrived after half an hour and those having tea had to wait another fifteen mins. Had booked but table wasn’t ready and they were dirty. Toilets filthy, food poor standard would not recommend, staff...

One of my Favourite places in Allerton. Friendly staffs. Vegan breakfast, vegan pancakes are delicious.

I came in on Friday with my children, we all enjoyed the food, I especially liked the eggs avocado on toast and the kids loved the milkshakes. Our waitress was really friendly and made us feel welcome, we will definitely be back throughout the summer holidays to try some more things off the menu.

My husband and I had heard about the great pancakes here so we came along to treat our daughter. We were greeted by really friendly staff who showed us to a table. The menu was varied and we all really enjoyed what we chose. The...

Been here several times before and is always good for a coffee and a bite to eat, normally straight on the panini but fancied something different so got the yank stack with maple syrup. Wasnt bad pancakes cooked well had far worse and only a...

Amazing breakfast foods at reasonable prices, cozy atmosphere too. Parking can be a bit of a problem as it's located on amain road.

Proper boss in here y'know. No Black pudding tho which is poo. Staff are dead sound but the bearded one might be a Tory or a Communist tho, can't get me head round him. Girl in the kitchen with the bonce is pure sound too, need to start doing sunny delight.

come here all the time with my friends after school to get milkshakes.Mainly healthy food with lots of gluten free/vegan/veggie options. very friendly staff always make you feel welcome (: Overall great place with a great vibe and great food!

Came here on a visit to Liverpool. Really enjoyed it. Menu is served all day and my group of friends all ordered different types of food but it all arrived together, hot and looked great.

Popped in for brunch at the weekend. A lot of different options for veggie/vegan and loads of healthy smoothies and tons of milkshakes if you're that way inclined.

Proper great place. 100% would recommend. Really friendly staff and great milkshakes. Probably going to end up going there every Monday if I can be bothered

Sat in the garden at the back. Quiet and sunny. Bug stack of maple pancakes and a coffee. Staff friendly but not intrusive. Nice

friendly welcoming staff I ordered the veggie breakfast and was lovely will definetlybe returning. Prices are also very affordable

No podemos agradecer lo suficiente al personal de The Interesting Eating Company, por brindarnos un increíble té de la tarde sin gluten a la medida para que tengamos en casa a nuestra encantadora mamá. Ella amaba a los bollos y sabía cómo los recordaba hace 19 años.

Visitante por primera vez a este establecimiento. Fuimos allí esta mañana para el desayuno alrededor de las 11:30, me dijeron que habría una espera de 20 minutos, y nos quedamos satisfechos con eso. Miré el menú y nada saltó hacia mí, era solo un menú de desayuno aparentemente manejado por el molino, que por el precio que estaban cobrando fue decepcionante. Decidí ir por los panqueques, salchichas y tocino con un jugo de naranja (que no tenían, así que opté por un jugo de manzana), y mi compañero fue a por tostadas de frijoles con un chocolate caliente. El precio total llegó a 15 dar o tomar unos centavos. Las bebidas llegaron después de una espera de 40 minutos, y luego la comida llegó después de 45 minutos, que para un lugar con 3 miembros del personal que trabajaban en el frente de la casa / cocina, sirvió para 7 mesas donde solo 2 de esas mesas estaban ocupadas para golpear frijoles al horno, tapón un poco de pan en una tostadora y preparar 3 panqueques y asar algunas salchichas y tocino fue muy decepcionante.

So I've been here numerous times and the food is good. Mainly breakfast food I go for but over the past 8 months I've become more and more intolerant of gluten and dairy and knowing this place already I knew they had a good rep for offering GF options.

I have visited on 3 occasions with friends over the past week. The staff are very friendly and good. Both coffee and tea are lovely as are the crepes! Nice place to go to with friends

The value of the menu here really stood out. My nephews loved the pancakes and my avocado on toast was great, with perfectly poached eggs. What really stood out was the value - £24 for four meals and two teas, which is something you rarely get nowadays. However, it did have a bit of a greasy spoon vibe.

I eat hear quite a lot on days off or if I'm in the area. The food is always good and the staff are really friendly.

Went with family today for a breakfast and it was lovely, definitely the best full English breakfast iv had. Non greasy and poached eggs which are the healthiest choice. Really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend.

Staff professional, friendly and helpful. Food tasty, well made and presented. Love the smoothies! Ordered a large selection of takeaway meals last minute and they couldn’t have been more helpful.

Very nice friendly staff, good food in a nice place. Only been one time but will definitely be back for more.

We can’t say how nice this little place is, so friendly and so many Gluten Free Options, I had a Gluten Free chicken and mushroom pancake, it was lovely such a nice change to see this as an option. My friend had Tuna Mayo with onions and salad, served by lovely staff called Sean and Beth, thank you, I’ve never been before and recommended by Coeliac xxx

Just captured some sun in the delightful courtyard garden here!!! Excellent and friendly service, soaking up the sun and the ambience!!!

We were recommended to come here for breakfast and the menu looked really good. Ordered 2 breakfasts and the food was good, but nothing amazing. Would have rather of paid a couple of pounds more and been in the Tavern at the other end of the road.

visited today with my daughter. ordered vegan breakfast. piping hot and delicious & tasty tasty very tasty. welcoming friendly staff. Great value with discount for being card holder INDEPENDENT LIVERPOOL. Would recommend to friends & family. Supporting local Independents GETS MY VOTE.

Found this cafe on the coeliac sanctuary so was really looking forward to going there.

Lovely food! Waffles and pancakes are delicious! Would definitely recommend and we will be coming again! 🍰 ☕️

Ayer fuimos un grupo de 12 niños, incluyendo 6. La comida no era nada interesante realmente, así que no sé por qué los propietarios han elegido ese nombre! Pedí huevos escalfados y aguacate en tostadas, huevos escalfados deben ser líquidos y estos eran principalmente cocidas. Las envolturas eran nada fantástico y los niños gofres eran sirve individualmente, obviamente no tengo la facilidad para hacer un lote juntos por lo que comer a la vez! La mayor preocupación era la sopa y el pan, el pan estaba mohosa, así cómo que no se vio antes de servir nunca sabremos. Me tocó que fuera de la ley como un sándwich y aswel nos dio un 15% de descuento de la tarjeta, pero no pensamos volver.

Not enough staff to cope with the orders, food took ages to come and was a bit basic, overpriced for what it is.

Lo que una familia fabulosa cafetería agradable.

Charged nearly 10 quid for 2 ice creams. Toilets were dirty. Overall setting nice and staff nice but need to look at cleanliness and prices.

Another amazing pet / dog friendly place to eat, for ! Food is great, lots of different options to choose from, and the menu is so fresh! People are amazing too, which always helps :)

Un salto en la mañana después de la catástrofe que fue el fútbol, por un poco de comida confort a animarme.

Interesante selección de comida de desayuno y bocadillos. principalmente Sin embargo, eran de varios artículos cuando me fui. Había gente dentro, con sus perros, que me encantó ver. Una pequeña zona para comer fuera en la parte trasera también estaba en uso por familias. Era un bonito lugar.

Vinimos aquí para el desayuno después de ver realmente largas colas en las cercanías de Taberna Co. Es mucho más simple, más café que restaurant pero la calidad de la comida era 5 / 5. El desayuno era muy agradable, y particularmente la pena sauages lonchas una mención, y un equipo de personal que sirve. preciosa

Amazing pancakes. Good atmosphere. Friendly, informative staff. Nice for a change - original concept.

Got recommended this place by a friend and been a couple of times now. First and second time was really impressed but the last time was disappointed with the portion size and cost. Got three pancakes and 2 skinny sausages for nearly £7 from what I can remember. Used to get loads of fruit too but it’s been reduced loads and prices have gone up. Got avocado on toast and it was a scrapping of avocado like butter with one slice of toast! I know a profit needs to me made but I think the food quality and portion size needs to improve before I return.

Long time go to for breakfast, mainly as it's one of the only places in this part of Liverpool that actually opens at what I consider breakfast time.

I visited here two weeks ago with my sister for the first time, the portions were a good size and food was delicious! I was so pleased I returned the following week with a group of friends to find the difference in staff on that day saw the standards slip. Portion size was A LOT smaller and general presentation of the food was poor compared to the previous visit. Mixed feelings towards visiting again after a disappointing second visit.

Great for full English breakfast, pancakes or waffles. Friendly staff and a lovely environment. Dog friendly and a menu to suit everyone. We will be back.

Beautiful food with lovely friendly service. The peanut butter milkshake was to die for! Would definitely go back!

Me fui al principio para tortitas que fue hace dos años. No he encontrado ningún otro lugar en el que se le compara a este lugar desde entonces. Desde la comida hasta el servicio de este lugar tiene un ambiente muy agradable y es un lugar de calidad para comer. Desde panqueques hasta chili este lugar tiene una gran variedad en el menú, y si hay un combo que no está en el menú que va a hacer peticiones. Son geniales con opciones de novia y vegetariana y mi favorito de las tortitas de proteínas comer fuera no tiene que implicar la comida basura es todo sobre las opciones y hay muchos aquí. La sobrina de un encanta el último sobrinos formulario batidos aquí son increíbles. A Mi Perro le encanta, aquí hay un tazón de agua en su camino y se puede sentar en las puertas o en el jardín trasero. Todo el personal es fantástico, es bueno que les había de hacer algunas comidas para mi boda en julio 2017 Knowsely Hall. Todavía estoy recibiendo gente hablando maravillas de allí tortitas crepes y gofres, todos con ese servicio increíble tiec! ! Obtenga SU PROPIA aquí no te decepcionará. El aparcamiento es fácil en el aparcamientos públicos frente de carretera y el aparcamiento exterior.

Hemos ido a IEC como nuestra primera comida en Liverpool después de volar sobre de nosotros. Gran desayuno vegetariano, panqueques platos deliciosos, y huevos para interesante un precio justo. Recomiendo

Went for breakfast midweek. Been going there with the kids for the last few years and its always been 'alright' but today was very poor.

I take the kids and dog here as a treat fairly regularly. The food and drink is lovely as are the staff. The only thing missing is food/waterbowls for the dogs. I would love to buy the dog a treat when I buy the kids stuff.

Went for breakfast on Father's Day and rather wished I hadn't bothered. The place is really quite grubby and has the feel of a greasy spoon cafe run by students. The seat I sat on was literally falling apart and the brown sauce bottle (HP bottle filled with cheap sauce) was filthy. My wife and I ordered the full breakfast, which was a bit shabby, with cheap beans, fatty bacon and thin, insipid sausages. The eggs were ok and the toast was nice. No black pudding, mushrooms or tomato but, to be fair, it wasn't on the menu - it's just what I'd usually expect. My daughter had waffles with bacon which she seemed to enjoy. There are plenty of good places to eat along Allerton Road but this isn't one of them.

Where do I start? I will start with the waffles - out of this world! Opted for mini egg and white chocolate. Was not disappointed. What I liked was that although it has amazing puds/naughty food - it also does super healthy mains. I am trying to watch what I eat, so opted for a lovely salad for main, knowing I was sharing naughty waffles. Staff are nice, good location, great food. Would visit again!

I really like coming here when I want gluten free pancakes in Liverpool. Very reasonably priced, great selection of toppings, you can either have crepe or american pancake. I have been about 4 times now and enjoyed it every time. Its a good place to go with children.

I held my son's 6th birthday party here with 14 of his friends. As soon as we arrived the staff made us feel so welcome and that if we needed anything we just had to ask. Neil took charge and organised some party games with the kids while the adults grabbed a coffee. Food was great (veggie options provided for my son too) and then they were each given a giant pancake and decorations. The children loved this (and also the mess it created!) More party games before the birthday boy blew out his candles and then we finished with a pinâta. The staff took the cake away, cut it up and wrapped it and put it in the party bags which was a really nice touch and saved me having to leave the party to do this. As we left, I noticed how much mess the kids had made but the staff made us feel like it was no problem at all and really looked after us. Can't praise this place enough and will be telling all of my friends about it.

The breakfast here was lovely, portions are a very decent size and the price is even better.Staff were very friendly and helpful and food was quick. Filled us up for the day.The menu has very good choice for breakfast, lunch and Tea. Will defiantly be visiting here again.

Overall a bit disappointing. First impressions were: nicely presented but dirty tables at front by the door. I asked to sit in the back area but was told no spaces, so I sat at the table by the open door which needed cleaning. The chap behind the counter didn't offer to clean to the table and was generally not overly friendly. I ordered an americano and a smoked salmon salad. Service wasn't overly quick but not awfully slow. The small americano was very small for the price - wish I had gone for the regular. The salad was underwhelming and just a bit dull. It had lots of lettuce, a couple of small tomatoes and 2/3 slices of cucumber, with a decent amount of smoked salmon and cream cheese. While it was tasty and nicely presented, it could have been improved with a bit more creativity about what goes in a salad - beetroot, spring onions, pickled onions, some grains, pepper, rocket, spinach, hard boiled egg, rather than just lettuce tomato and cucumber. Salads are clearly not their forte - the waffles, pancakes, cooked breakfast looked great so I wouldn't be against visiting again and having something besides salad.

Lovely ,interesting and relaxing setting. Dogs allowed. Staff really helpful. Food wonderfully presented and scrummy to eat. 15% off for students too! Will be going again.

I love coming here and I try and introduce as many people as I can to it! I especially love coming in the summer time as their garden is gorgeous and has a nice atmosphere! You can also bring your dog! I have loved everything I have had here.... The iced frappes, smoothies, breakfast, chicken & pesto panini! Lovely staff too!
