Lovely place just off the beaten track - Edit
Really nice, old school café. We all had chilli and rice and it was excellent. We got garlic bread too which was very tasty, so good after a walk around Liverpool. I walked past this many times recently, I won't again.

Decent vegan scran! - Edit
Had a lovely vegan breakfast here. Decent size portions, and very tasty too. My only complaint would be that the tomatoes were tinned rather than fresh!
Read moreStaff super friendly, the cafe is clean with a lovely chilled out vibe.
Be aware it is up 2 flights of stairs which may be an issue if you have mobility issues.

Old-school, good :) - Edit
Unapologetically old-school veggie café convenient for Liverpool Lime Street station. Obscure front door, but a beautiful loft space with plenty of natural light, long wooden tables. Basic menu, functional cooking and presentation. Almost all veggie cafés used to be like this, makes me nostalgic. Come for the vibe, eat hearty.

Really underwhelming - Edit
I had some mezze which was fairly bland, and a flat white that wasn’t good. I’d been meaning to try this place for ages but I don’t think I’ll be going back.

Hidden gem - Edit
Quite hidden but worth the climb up the stairs and through the tiny door. Veggie & vegan options so be careful ordering. But lots of choice. Specials. The breakfast is amazing! Love visiting here. Had the scouse before and that was STUNNING. Cheese on toast always looks amazing, need to try it.
Read morePros: Lots of choice , Hearty portions , Reasonably priced
Cons: Veggie options, would like more vegan

Great food. But why animal products? - Edit
I don't get why they sell cheap cows milk from artificially exploited cows, but not dead animals for 'ethical reasons' ??

The original vegi cafe! - Edit
I've been visiting the egg since 2008 and it is still my favourite vegi cafe. There's lots to choose from and everything is fresh and delicious. Put the egg at the top of the list for places to visit in Liverpool.

Incredible vegan cheesey garlic bread - Edit
This is a lovely little cafe. Can't actually remember what soup I had I think it was red pepper and tomato? But I had garlic bread with cheese and wow it was delicious!! Would definitely recommend giving that a try if you want some good old comfort food!

Always good! - Edit
It seems that Egg has been here for ever (thank goodness!) It is now mostly vegan with just a few vegetarian items - and always a good selection. I've eaten here many times in the past, but just popped in today for a coffee and a delicious cake.
Read moreNew visitors, note that it doesn't look inviting from the road, and access is up lots of stairs, but well worth the effort!

Healthy, nutritious, perfect for summer - Edit
The Egg Cafe is probably my favourite so far in Liverpool. The atmosphere was really chilled out and the cafe is quite hidden, so I don't think you would know it was there unless you looked it up. It was hot, but there was such a lovely view from the top, where you could eat and look out. The staff were super accommodating and friendly, we came back twice!!
Read moreThe portions were a little big for me, but it's perfect if you're super hungry. The food is so fresh, summery and definitely homemade. Loved that you could buy beer too. Definitely coming again!!
Pros: Affordable, homemade food, Beautiful atmosphere and view, Great staff
Cons: Portions were a little too big for me

Nice cafe but could be better - Edit
I like this cafe and always like to visit at least once when visiting Liverpool but I do feel like the menu could do with sprucing up a little, and more vegan options adding to it. Don't feel like they're is enough choice for vegans, or if they're is the menu isn't very easy to gather which are vegan and which are just veggie. Also if your with anybody with mobility issues then getting to the cafe isn't easy as they're is alot of stairs to climb to get there.
Read morePros: Great surroundings , Quirky, Few vegan options
Cons: Vegan options could be better, Lack of vegan cakes, Not great for people with mobility issues.

Very good - Edit
The soup portion was shocking it was so big. I had the quiche of the day and it came with salad, chickpeas and some pasta salad as well. The soup was a bit bland and I had to add two salt packs which wasn’t a problem. It came with a drink and cake too. I unfortunately left the cake somewhere by accident and couldn’t try it ):
