One of my favourite liverpool independents! I’ve only been a couple of times but never want to leave! Love the fact that it’s a coffee shop by day and cocktail bar by night (and you can still get a coffee at night- bringing a European coffee culture to Woolton Village!). Staff are really lovely, the coffee and cocktails are great, and attracts a really friendly bunch of people- it’s the kind of coffee shop you can chat to the person next to you no bother. They have a selection of games you can use- we really enjoyed Hygge, a conversation starter game, making for meaningful chats over our drinks! Only thing i would say is seriously watch the step to the toilets...i read the warning sign and still managed to fall over it!

We walked by today and thought the coffee shop looked interesting so decided to drop in for 2x flat whites. Staff were friendly, it was cosy and welcoming, chilled music was playing, but the highlight was the coffee. Flat white was exactly as it should be, milk was velvety soft, coffee was fragrant and strong. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area and enjoy excellent coffee.

An absolute gem of a place. Popped in with my friend for a cocktail and was met by the loveliest two young gentlemen who made us fantastic cocktails.. Can’t wait to return. Highly recommend!

What a great find. The coffee was really good, but the toasted sandwiches were exceptional. I had the Reuben and it really was spectacular. Friendly and efficient service and I'd definitely recommend it for small groups, couples or people on their own, as it's not a big place.

The coffee was the main reason we came to check this place out. We were really impressed by the black coffee which we tried first to check out it's flavour profile. Very good. But we love the flat white, which means the barista did a great job. Good coffee combined with a good barista.... Brill. The food happened to be excellent too.
