"Which came first, the vegetarian or The Egg? Because while it's a veggie café, I can see no carnivore resisting the insanely great value delights that come part and parcel with this place. I thought it was only in greasy spoons that you'd leave with a gigantically full belly after spending less than a fiver. The Egg proves you can do the same with none of that bacon or sausage repeating on you throughout the day. The format of The Egg is simple. Once you've found it hiding off Bold Street, you hop up the kitsch purple stairs and enter a world of boho decor, creative types with laptops, artsy posters left right and centre, and a counter filled with more moreish delights than you could imagine. You queue up at the counter and you place your order, kind of like a fast food restaurant. But instead of getting your gungy cardboard boxed food in a tray immediately, you're given a sweet little ticket and your drinks to take to one of the many long benches or cosy tables in the vicinity, with extra seating upstairs. I plumped for orange juice, Mum for a cappuccino, and tap water was free in water filter jugs on the counter to help yourself to. Brilliant. You don't need to keep asking for it. I'd plumped for the spicy bean burger served with their own relish (heck, everything here is homemade) which is served with a side salad, as is the cheese on toast Mum ordered, thinking she was going for a lighter bite. Ohhh, how wrong she was. Can I just say once and for all that The Egg is a student's wet dream. Our food was brought over. For £3.50, my mother not only had pasta salad, bulgar wheat, lettuce, chickpeas, tomato, kidney beans, butter beans and more besides, she had two ENORMOUS, thicker than your average brick doorstop slices of wholesome granary bread topped with the ultimate perfect cheese topping, you know the kind, where it goes brown and speckled and sits perfectly even on top of the bread. Cripes. She'd spent less than me, she got more. Again. She thought she was going for the smaller option. My bean burger was not so much patty-shaped as completely spherical, which I loved about it. It was so quirky I almost didn't want to spoil it by eating it. But down it went. Into my belly. I got the same side salad which is packed with so many goodies, you could easily have it on its own. For like, £1.50 or something. How does this place turn a profit? The pitta breads on the side where lovely and warm and fresh but I merely nibbled on those and dunked them into my relish, concentrating more on helping Mum out with that Doorstep Challenge. The Egg has a great atmosphere to it, nice tunes, kitsch surroundings and food so fresh, tasty and plentiful you could eat here every day. And you don't find yourself missing meat in the slightest. There are also cakes and a plethora of hot drinks to choose from, so don't think you have to rock up here and order a main meal. But you should. They have to be seen and tasted to be believed."

Excellent vegan/vegetarian cafe based in city centre just off bold street. Tasty food and excellent t range of tea and coffee and various milk and milk substitute products. Well worth many a visit.

If a meateater was to describe what they thought a veggie cafe was like then 'The Egg ' is it. Dry, unexciting food served unsmilingly by people who clearly want something better to do with their lives. This is not a knee-jerk opinion formed after one visit. I have been coming here for over 10 years but have now had enough. Like 'Eighth Day ' in Manchester this place has been living off its historical position as one of the only veggie/Vegan cafes in the City. Time has moved on significantly but unfortunately The Egg has not. Pros: Cheap, Good Desserts, Vegan Options Cons: Bland, Uninspiring Food, Scruffy, Grubby Interior, Surly Staff

What a great little spot in the city! Arrived just shortly after they opened at 9 on a Thursday. The food was a little alow coming but that's somewhat expected from a small vegetarian/vegan place like this. My wife and I had vegetarian breakfasts with tea (incl in the price) and paid about £9.50. The worker who helped was a wonderful human being. He spoke to us about our homeland, made some jokes, and even gave us a free piece of delicous cookie crumble. Decent selection of teas on hand and a nice array of unique foods. The breakfasts were great, especially the sausage--so good! When my plate was empty, I was full, but nowhere near finished eating. I look forward to returning. This is a good...

I never knew such a quaint place like this existed in Liverpool until I came across reviews from other Yelpers. Today, I decided to try The Egg Café to see for myself and it was certainly not a disappointment. The Egg Café may not be the most noticeable, obvious or attractive of cafés from the outside, but as I trawled up their purple stairwell to the top floor, I was silently amazed to see how pleasant an environment there was. The atmosphere was peaceful with plenty of fresh air entering the balcony, where you can enjoy the view overlooking Newington. Being a carnivorous person, I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy the full vegetarian breakfast I ordered. However, I did not miss the fact that there...

The Egg is definitely a 'what you see is what you get ' place. If you make it all the way up there, that is. And that 's if you even manage to find it. On a road running between Renshaw and Bold Street, you can 't miss the brightly painted doorway, but if you weren 't looking for it you may just walk past. So, you 've found The Egg. You drag yourself up the flights of rickety stairs (I 'm surprised someone hasn 't has an accident there) and tried to open the one locked door before pushing your way through the single unlocked door. This is not a welcome feature for persons of the larger persuasion. Then you are greated by scrubbed wooden tables and chairs, loud artwork and nice smells. You go...

The Egg Cafe was founded in 1984 by Janine Pinion. It was formerly known as the Acorn Gallery and then The Garden, before becoming the Egg Cafe. It is located just off Bold Street and occupies a large and airy loft space in an old Victorian Building. From the windows you get an excellent view across the rooftops of the city, giving you a whole new perspective on the city centre. As well as being a vegetarian cafe The Egg is also an independent gallery called Eggspace The atmosphere at the Egg cafe is relaxed and welcoming. There is a range of seating available from comfy sofa's to small tables and long rows of tables suitable for larger groups. If you are planning to come in a large group it...
