Best French Bakery in Heaton

"Head down to Moose Coffee on either Dale Street or Hope Street and be amazed by their extensive American style breakfast menu which is served all day. The pancakes are a must though, served three high and topped with a selection of your favourite flavours such as maple syrup, blueberries, bacon or chocolate; we bet you will be back for more!.

"I wasn’t expecting much from a Canadian inspired shop with antler chandeliers and paintings of moose everywhere. However, much to my surprise Moose Coffee have a social responsibility and a foundation. They use local suppliers from the north-west of England sourcing food from Manchester to the Lake District and their coffee is fairtrade."

"Breakfast time with the kids calls for a trip to Moose Coffee on Dale Street or Hope Street. With miniature versions of Moose classics such as Mini Pancakes, Mini Waffles and the Mini Mighty, the kids will definitely be ready to tackle the day after this breakfast. View this post on Instagram"

"Bold Street Coffee, 89 Bold Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, L1 4HF - Visit now. Bold Street makes a strong showing in this list, and for good reason – it’s a hive of fiercely independent shops and cafes. Bold Street Coffee is one of the best, with, as you’d expect, a strong range of heavily-caffeinated coffee blends, but a superb selection of breakfast dishes."

"Even in the best third-wave coffee haunts, the food is often an afterthought. Not here: a pot of fantastic soup (thick, creamy winter vegetable and pearl barley) comes with two slices of high-quality, generously buttered sourdough. At this level, that kind of attention to detail impresses."

"Specialising in great coffee, this coffee shop is located in Liverpool’s version of Brick Lane – Bold Street. Serving breakfast options from £4 and main menu options from £5. Expect great coffee, great food and great music spinning on their record player."

"This Northern Quarter restaurant’s pancakes have long held a place in our hearts, with delicious combos such as banana, nutella and salted caramel and blueberry compote with frosting on the menu. The homely diner has an array of incredible desserts if pancakes aren’t your style – with an incredible homemade cake counter that’s not for the faint-hearted. Pancake stacks include three, fluffy American-style pancakes, served with cinnamon crunch, maple syrup and whipped cream."

"The Great Northern branch of Home Sweet Home offers an afternoon tea with a difference. As well as a selection of loose leaf teas or coffees and a tier of mini open bagels with maple cured BLT and smoked salmon, there is also a tier of fresh churros. The warm Spanish style doughnuts are dusted with cinnamon sugar and Dreamcheese frosting and served with warm Nutella dip and fresh strawberries."

"The Bagelry offers up all your favourite flavours of bagels, including those cool rainbow ones, and serves some brilliant coffee to wash it all down with too. Head over to grab your bagels to go and enjoy a walk around the city with a coffee. View this post on Instagram"

"For a little snack, head over to The Bagelry on Nelson Street for some rainbow bagels. The kids will love these and you can take them to go or sit in and enjoy a cup of coffee whilst resting your legs. View this post on Instagram"

"Liverpool and beyond, the bagel-shaped hole in your life has now been filled. A real labour of love goes into the bagels and that’s the reason we’re hooked."

"My kids love this place and when we come, we easily spend 3 hours here because it is not only a coffee shop and cafe but also a board game haven. Sugar & Dice is personable, lively and they have more than 400 board games with games for all ages and abilities. The coffee is supplied from awesome local roasters, Joe Blacks, and craft beer from brewers of Merseyside."

"What to expect: A vegetarian and vegan cafe in Liverpool with a bohemian atmosphere. Arguably the most established of vegetarian restaurants in Liverpool, The Egg Cafe is a go-to spot for those who love hearty veggie and vegan food with a homemade feel. The bohemian hideout can be found in a cosy loft space, perfect for a bite to eat at lunch or a spotlit dinner."

"The Egg Cafe can be found just off Bold Street on Newington Street. Not only is it one of Liverpool’s premier vegetarian and vegan restaurants (they did vegan before it was hipster), it is also in a beautiful airy loft space of an old Victorian warehouse building. It also offers fabulous views of the city centre."

"Egg Cafe is a plant-based based in a renovated Victorian warehouse. You’ll see the elaborately coloured door and staircase leading to the third floor before anything else. Full of natural light and colour The Egg Cafe is a large, welcoming space with long wooden tables which you can share if you want."

"Opened over 40 years ago by local teacher Anne Lev on Smithdown Road, Dafna’s Cheese Cake Factory has become a local institution which specialises in original recipe, unbelievably good cakes – and most famously the cheesecake which is now available in ten flavours including the latest addition Oreo cookie. New cake and dessert recipes are always coming from this super cute kitchen which is available to take special occasion orders, along with offering sensational seasonal bakes you can pick up and convenient wheat-free, Vegan and dairy-free alternatives. Discover Dafna’s Cheesecake Factory here"

"There’s nothing quite like the perfectly baked cheesecake and at Dafna’s you can take your pick from ten exclusive flavours. The speciality cheesecake is just the tip of the iceberg as Daphna’s has taken it upon themselves to create an extensive list of cakes for every dietary requirement. In their mind, everybody should be able to experience the joy of cake and at Daphna’s everyone can."

"Just a short tram ride away from the city centre is Slattery, the home of desserts and all things chocolate!. The Whitefield shop is full of surprises – including the Strawberry and Marshmallow Kebabs served with two chocolate pots filled with white and milk liquid Belgian chocolate – perfect for ‘dunking’ in!. Or you could really test yourself and try their Chocolate Challenge."

"Because, almost everyone who makes special ceremonies such as weddings, engagements and birthdays in Manchester has made purchases from this place. Their cakes are very famous and very delicious. There are homemade chocolates, fresh cream cakes and yummy cakes."

"#amazing#lunch@Slattery_Cakes today, can't wait to go again #nomnom#chocolatelover#chocolatepic.twitter.com/Dc7rTmXVr0. — Catherine Bateman (@CatLouBateman) February 1, 2017. Just up the road is one of Whitefield’s best kept secrets."

"A glorious sister venue to London's Natural History Museum (both designed by Liverpool-born architect Alfred Waterhouse), it's worth a visit to the University of Liverpool's gallery and museum for its exterior alone. The Grade II-listed building's gothic terracotta design led to the coining of the term "red-brick" university and is a shining example of Victorian prowess; more so now after a recent £8.6m refurb. Expect a really creepy museum (fossils, taxidermy, skeletons and curios from the university's 130-year history), a special collections gallery (including the largest display of paintings and prints by wildlife artist John James Audubon outside the US), and a regularly revolving programme of contemporary art exhibitions."

"Housed within an impressive, Grade II listed building, VG&M is known for its collection of the work of wildlife artist, John James Audubon. Once you've checked out the art gallery, the museum has some curiosities worth taking a look at too: the National Pipe Archive and a display of dentures through the ages – not your average collection of artefacts. Opening times: Tuesday-Saturday 10:00-5:00 Victoria Building, 150 Brownlow Hill, Liverpool L3 5RF 5 minute walk from LJMU Mount Pleasant Campus and 20 minute walk from LJMU City Campus."

"A museum that beats all the traditional boring museums around the world, the Victoria Gallery Museum is known for its fun and interesting exhibits which truly captivate the young and old alike!"

"Located near Preston Dock, the Ribble Steam Railway museum invites you to hop aboard a heritage train ride on one of their working steam trains. The museum makes a fantastic and interactive day out for all the family, delving into Preston's historical links to steam trains and Preston Dock. See their Diesel Locomotives, Steam Locomotives, miniature railway, and much more."

"This attraction features well-maintained locomotives that date back more than 100 years. A preserved railway, it is now also the home of the collection from the Southport Railway Museum and was opened to public access in 2005. It also operates passenger services from Preston Riverside to and from Strand Road Crossing."
