Weekend Eats: Cow & Co

This weekend me and Harry decided to make the most of the glorious weather and head

 out on our bikes for brunch. We decided to try Cow & Co, which is just a two minute walk

 away from the hustle and bustle of Liverpool One.

Cow & Co is a quirky little shop that stocks anything from stationary to kitchenware, and 

everything they sell is designed to perfection. They have recently transformed the ground floor

 of the store into a cafe and, after hearing good things, I decided it was next on my 'places to try' list.

Both me and Harry decided to go for a bagel, and they were pretty great choices. Mine was

 goats cheese and home made pesto, and Harry opted for the cheese, ham and pickle. 

We both also agreed that the cappuccino was the best we had ever tasted (quite a statement

 coming from us)! The greatest part of the cafe itself was its extensive magazine collection. 

There is a whole wall full of cool, alternative magazines to read including my particular

 favourite, Oh Comely. 

Although I loved Cow & Co it is definitely a place to go for a coffee and a small bite

 to eat, and not a meal. The relaxed atmosphere of the cafe was so lovely, and sitting outside

 in the sunshine we completely forgot that we were in the center of Liverpool. I will be visiting 

again for sure, even if it is just for their perfect coffee.

Weekend Eats: East Avenue Bakehouse

East Avenue Bakehouse, Bold Street, Liverpool

For me it really wouldn't be the weekend without eating out at least once and this weekend 

was no exception. Today me and Harry decided to head out for lunch and we were both keen 

to try somewhere new. Liverpool seems to be such a hotspot for independent businesses 

at the moment,which means you are never short of new places to eat, drink and shop.

I had heard great things about East Avenue Bakehouse, located on Bold Street, so as we 

were feeling pretty hungry we decided to give it a try. The bakehouse is light, airy and decorated

 to perfection. Although the aesthetics of this eatery are pretty appealing it is clear to see that there 

is so much more going on here. East Avenue Bakehouse are very proud of their locally sourced

 ingredients, friendly staff and changeable, seasonal menu - and quite rightly so. What they

 should be most proud of though is their incredible bread and cake array, all baked fresh in

 store each day.

As I was wanting to try out their homemade bread I went for the pastrami sandwhich with

 mustard mayonaise, and I certainly wasn't dissapointed. Harry went for the eggs benedict and

 he too was pretty impressed - especially with their homemade english muffins! 

We finished the whole thing off with a slice of freshly baked cake each and, after enjoying every

 last mouthful, we both left with full, happy tummies. I can't wait to go back to East Avenue

 Bakehouse and, after seeing some ladies enjoying an afternoon tea, I am hoping to share the 

doughy love and take my friends along too.

I really can't reccomend East Avenue Bakehouse enough, and what makes the whole thing 

sweeter is that there is 10% off available to all Independent Liverpool card holders.
