Great little cafe, between the river and the centre. Good sized portions at a very reasonable cost. We enjoyed the 46 Breakfast Bap and the latte. Quick efficient service, friendly staff and great value.

We have been to The forty six cafe for two days from 26th and 27th of June 2024. We really enjoyed our breakfasts ,lovely calm atmosphere -staff friendly and helpful. My wife and mother in law had a lovely prepare breakfast ( the poached eggs best she's ever eaten) .We have now come back to liverpool so I just thought lots of people are quick enough to complain, but when its was great it's worthwhile putting a review on because it was great, it's sometimes hard to please the mother in law but she was very very please and she told the staff this which pleased her no end.So I would just like to thank you all for our experience. Wonderful.
