In March, ECHO reporter Paul McAuley<\/a> described it as a \u2018hidden gem\u2019 and added: \u201cFor a long time, I was a staunch supporter of Lidl Bakery, defending its buttery and flaky croissants against any critics. I was loyal to the retailer, but I would say Julie and Rosie’s offerings are just as delicious, if not better.<\/p>\n\u201cLike all top-notch croissants, the multiple layers crumbled beautifully with each bite. The layers were light and airy, rich but yet not overwhelming – a striking balance that made it incredibly satisfying to my taste buds.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe interior was soft and slightly chewy with the ideal amount of chocolate goodness stacked away in the middle, adding to the overall enjoyment. The same can be said for their coffee in comparison to giants like Starbucks and Costa. The refreshing beverage kickstarts your morning in the best way possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, Cornhill Coffee announced yesterday that its truck wouldn\u2019t be open for the short-term at least due to a problem with is licence. The business pledged to keep customers updated on the situation.<\/p>\n
On its Instagram page, the coffee shop said: \u201cGuys we are absolutely gutted but we have run into a small issue with our street license and we can\u2019t trade until we are given the go ahead.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are hoping it isn\u2019t too long and while we are shut we will work on perfecting our product and our business. We will keep you all posted, so much love.\u201d<\/p>\n

The business was flooded with support from many loyal customers following the news. One said: \u201cFingers crossed everything gets sorted for you soon! Missing the best matchas in Liverpool.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another said: \u201cOh no! I\u2019m so sorry this has happened, hope it all gets sorted asap.\u201d A third added: \u201cHope you\u2019re back up and running in no time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking to the ECHO about why they started the business last summer, Rosie said: \u201cMy mum had been working in finance for roughly 26 years. It wasn’t what she wanted to do. She’s really creative. She used to have a dressmaking business, so she loves anything creative. I don’t think she was loving that kind of environment, that kind of job.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’d recently got an office job as well and I was doing marketing, but it was more doing corporate marketing. I wanted to do more creative marketing for more creative businesses. Then we both thought, what can we do together?<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat can we do that combines all our skills? Something that we enjoy every day, something that I could still do marketing and mum could still do something creative?\u201d<\/p>\n
One thing they shared was a love of coffee. Rosie had also launched a successful business selling custom made brownies during lockdown and had built good relationships with local coffee roasters and milk dairy farm suppliers.<\/p>\n
Despite the risks of leaving secure full-time jobs, at the time they both felt it was paying off. Rosie said: \u201cIt is scary, anything like that is always scary. But I think because we were doing it together, we have that support from each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wanted to do something that was successful but also that we were just happy doing. Sometimes you come to work and it doesn’t even feel like you’re at work because you’re with your mum, you’re experimenting with loads of drinks, you’re making friends with all the locals. It’s scary leaving any job and the stability that comes with it, but we would probably say it’s worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The owners said they had run into a ‘small issue’ but hoped they will be back up and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":87164,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,786,4884,179,2349,15650,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-87163","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-food-and-drink","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-liverpool","13":"tag-liverpool-city-centre","14":"tag-liverpool-pubs","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114477505244468647","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
