Hardware Coffee + Kitchen

Loved the food here – everything was fresh, delicious, and the menu had some really unique choices. The only downside was that drinks were served in plastic cups, even for dine-in, which felt a bit out of place given how good everything else was. It would be great to see them switch to reusable cups for a more sustainable and elevated experience.

We are tourists from Belarus, and this café was a real gem for us! The breakfast was excellent: perfectly poached eggs, crispy bacon, fresh tomatoes, and flavorful beans in tomato sauce – everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is friendly and quick. We felt right at home but with a lovely European touch. We’ll definitely come back and recommend it to our friends!

Top choice for early birds and brunch-aficionados, with the kitchen open from 7:30 AM even on Sundays. Great coffee, good vegetarian and vegan options, specials... Friendly, attentive staff and a relaxed atmosphere make it one of the city’s most reliable and enjoyable brunch spots.

Really nice independent cafe. I arrived in Liverpool straight off an overnight coach, not knowing anything about the place, and wanted breakfast in an independent cafe rather than something bog-standard & boring. This cafe certainly didn't disappoint! The breakfast (Hardy's Toolbox) was satisfying and filling after a long journey. All items in the breakfast were delicious and cooked/ presented in a way I haven't seen in the usual cafes. Service was lightning fast, probably due to it being about 7:45 on a Saturday. It was a bit pricey, and beans were extra (I didn't buy them). I didn't think it was bad value for money though, as the breakfast was fantastic, the service great, wifi fast, the whole place spotlessly clean, and I prefer to support independent business. The decor was good as well, keeping to theme, and not distracting. If I'm ever up this way again I'll be popping back.

We called in for breakfast and we had the brekkie burger and yoghurt and crunchola. The burger was really tasty and it hit the spot. The yoghurt with granola and fruit was also really good and it was a huge portion. My wife ate less than half of it and was full! It goes without saying that I polished it off! It's a nice space to sit in and service was very good so I'm happy to recommend this place to everyone out there!
