Thoughtfully CafeCity Centre, Liverpool

"A quiet independent on Cleveland Square that offers something the city centre chains can't: an owner who actually cares. Solid coffee and a genuinely warm atmosphere make it a reliable stop."

What we love

• •Owner-operated with hands-on, personal service
• •Spanish latte on the menu alongside matcha, a step up from generic café drink lists
• •Tucked into a calmer corner of the city centre, away from the main drag
