The news comes after a new “speciality” coffee shop opened not far from Rose Lane, in the heart of South Liverpool, on Smithdown Road. Sips & Stories sells coffee, loose-leaf tea, and a variety of sweet and savoury pastries.

Open Wednesday to Sunday, the venue is located next door to Frankie’s Paint-It Pottery and the Smithdown Road branch of Subway.

The menu includes spinach and feta, chicken and vegetable pastries, and bagels stuffed with turkey and cream cheese.

There are also a number of sweet treats, including plant-based cinnamon buns, banana and pecan buns, orange and cardamom buns, pastel de nata, cruffins, and brownies.

The new coffee shop’s owners are working closely with Wirral-based coffee roaster Adams & Russell, which is affiliated with Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, and Women’s Cooperatives.

Staff at Sips & Stories believe “every cup tells a story with a rotating selection of single-origin speciality coffees from renowned plantations across the world, all of which have been ethically sourced”. You can read more about it here.
