Good prices and great service - Edit
I went there with some friend on a day trip to Liverpool. I was the only vegan so I was also the only one ordering a vegan full English, but the only difference was that I had tofu scramble instead of fried egg. The food was plenty and as good as a full English can be (I often find them a bit bland), however I didn't like the scramble at all. It was tasteless and at the same time bitter (I suspect too much tumeric was used). It's quite easy to make a tasty scramble and I wonder if no other spices but tumeric were used (kala namak for example makes great scramble and chilli also adds another layer of flavour, or herbs or spring onions would go well too). My friends were happy with their full English, and I was able to order an iced coffee although they don't have one on the table. Their salads and cakes looked good so I'd definitely go again on another trip!
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, great value for money, friendly service
Cons: need to work on their tofu scramble recipe

Definitely Need to Revisit - Edit
I can't believe i only visited this cafe once! everything on their menu looks and sounds delicious AF. I had the daily soup and toast (which comes with vegan butter) and it was the BEST TOAST I HAD. the thick slice of bread dipped into the lentil soup was just the thing i need to fuel my day.

A timeless classic - Edit
A quirky interior up the rickety staircase you will find yourself with a view over the centre of Liverpool if you get a table by the window. The Egg never fails to sort you out with a healthy meal from a friendly welcoming staff. I have to say I usually go for a bean burger when I go. Its beaut. You get a full plate of salad and some pitta. All for like £6, BARGAIN. I always walk out feeling fresh and healthy after eating there. Would recommend.

Great specials - Edit
In spite of its name, the egg cafe was excellent for vegans! I had a lentil Dahl with pitta and coleslaw with garlic bread on the side. The Main also came with loads of salad dishes included and was very reasonably priced. Can’t recommend enough.

A classic - Edit
Probably the first place I came when I was veggie (and I am now vegan.) This place has been open for years and it is what it is. Cheap healthy food, big portions and a really casual vibe! It’s far from fine dining but perfect for just when you want a quick healthy and cheap option. The decor is probably a little bit outdated now and the food isn’t exactly “cutting edge” but it does the job and fills a hole.

Bit disappointing but amazing cake - Edit
One staff member that served us was extremely rude and ruined the whole visit. All food had affordable price, but even though we had massive portions, the dishes were a bit tasteless and very similar due to overload of the same salads on the side. They offered a lot of options, so other dishes could probably be better.

Pros: Tasty cakes, Homely vibe, Great location
Cons: Some unfriendly staff, Main meals a bit tasteless

Some very good vegan options - Edit
Up two flights of stairs. Lots of seating space, including an upper level. I had the full vegan breakfast, which was uninspired but satisfying, including coffee (decaf is instant), for £4.90: a thick slice of toast, two sausages, tomato, baked beans, mushrooms, scrambled tofu with peppers. On the tables are those tiny (silly, paper-wasteful) packets of salt and pepper (why is there too much salt in a single packet and only a few grains of pepper in a packet?). I visited again for the Sunday roast, which begins being served after 12 noon. Although I placed my order before 12:00, it arrived only at 12:30, “sorry for the wait.” The food was piping hot, with two slices of nut-grain-veg loaf, cranberry sauce, seven vegetables(!) (broccoli was overdone) and gravy (a bit thin). A satisfying meal, and I liked the loaf.

Pros: many vegan options, good Sunday roast
Cons: "The Egg" isn't an attractive name to vegans ;-), little packets of salt and pepper, only instant decaf coffee

Delicious vegan food - Edit
Love the art, music, service and vibe of this place and though not all food is vegan, the vegan options are clearly marked (including, to my excitement, vegan milkshakes!). The garlic bread is to die for, on door stop seeded bread, and the generous portions of salad are fresh, nutritious and delicious! Would love it even more if they had a greater range of vegan cakes but that is the only criticism I can find for this place.

Quirky - Edit
Top floor cafe with a hippy vibe. Various Vegan choices .I only had toast with jam and coffee at breakfast time. It was a good doorstop size

Pros: Friendly
Cons: Outer appearache. .

Good - Edit
I had the 'Blind Scouse' which was a stew. It was a bit bland, but I was looking for something healthy after gorging on junk food at Down the Hatch the previous day. It did the job. The berry smoothie was great.
Read moreThe Egg Cafe is upstairs and it's a relaxed sort of place. There's plenty of things like humous and burgers, along with salads and cakes. About half of the menu is vegan so don't let the name of it put you off.
Very reasonably priced. All good.

Amazing Spot - Edit
Came here with my mum for lunch during a day trip to Liverpool and was blown away! It's located in a lovely old building and the interior is very retro and inviting.
Read moreI got the spicy bean burger which came with pita bread and salad, it was only £5.65 (I think) and all the meals were around £5 which is amazing value as they are good portion sizes and very delicious! I think I'd prefer the burger to come in a bun instead of with a pita on the side but it was still good.
My mum got the vegan shepherds pie and said it was good but would be better if it had more potato and was a little less dry.
Then there were 3 non vegan cakes and 3 vegan options, so I got a chocolate crunch which was basically like shortbread/shortcake with chocolate which was very good and only £1.95, all the cakes were around £2-3.
Definitely very glad we came here for our day trip!
Pros: Lovely building and interior, Great value/cheap, Delicious food
Cons: make it all vegan!

Cosy Café - Edit
The interieur and the decoration are very convivial, the kind of place you would like to stay to chat.
Read moreThe food is good, not great but for the prices (dishes of the day around 6.50£) it is very worth it. They have a regular menu and 3/4 dishes of the day and a soup.
Cake selections looked great!

Great location, average food - Edit
The location of the Egg Cafe is pretty interesting and unique and the location pretty central. They have plenty of seating over two floors. The Cafe is set up as a self service cafe with menus at the ordering counter which makes it a bit inconvenient and difficult to decide on a meal when visiting the first time as the menu displayed is a bit chaotic. While the food offering is plentiful, offering starters, mains and desserts I was a bit disappointed by the unimaginative menu. Most things you could order you could also get as a supermarket takeaway (such as the various salads). I ordered the hummus, pita and salad plate which was tasty but again, a bit unimaginative. The atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly, inviting to hang out a bit longer.

Great vegetarian cafe, with good vegan options and well priced. Located on the top floors of an old building in the city centre, the area is well lit by natural light, and has plenty of space. I will definitely visit again, next time I'm in Liverpool.
