Coffee and Fandisha

Coffee and Fandisha has been open since 2014 and is located in the Baltic Triangle, the owners say the idea for the venue stems from the traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony where freshly brewed coffee is served alongside popcorn and ‘other little bits and pieces’.

They also serve food along with craft beers and wines, which they say are mostly locally sourced.

92 Degrees

There are three coffee shops across Liverpool in Hardman Street, Jamaica Street and Myrtle Street.
