In a city that’s such a popular location for some of the biggest TV shows and films, you’re never far away from a spot favoured by a famous actor or actress.
Moose Coffee in Dale Street is no different. It has three sites in Liverpool city centre, but its restaurant on Dale Street was once visited by Peaky Blinders stars Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley.
The couple called into its Dale Street site while filming the series back in 2015. While my day probably wasn’t as exciting as featuring in one of the most popular TV shows of the last decade, I was still intrigued to see what its American and Canadian cuisine could offer.

Its interior certainly lives up to its name, with lighting in the shape of Moose horns and a painting of a Moose in an American astronaut suit. The Dale Street site also has large windows which create a large amount of natural light. Service was very friendly and efficient
I’m not a huge fan of coffee, but its special drink Honeycomb Latte sounded too good to turn down. It's safe to stay I won’t be a regular coffee drinker anytime soon, but the sweetness of honeycomb topped with cream made it much more appealing to me than usual.
In terms of food, there was an impressive range of waffles, pancakes and sandwiches. However, I decided to go for the 'Mighty Moose', which is part of the all day breakfast section.
This contains fried potato hash, two fried eggs, three rashes of bacon and toast. The potato hash was the most distinguishing feature from an English breakfast, replacing a full brown with a vast amount of delicious chunks of potato hash.
The fried eggs were described as “Moose Style” on the menu, but I couldn’t really tell what made them different. They were still delicious though, as was the soft toasted bread and bacon.
Perhaps the best sign of Moose’s quality was what I didn’t have. From an eggs benedict with grilled chicken to a vegan offering with fried potato hash, peppers and chopped jalapenos, there are few places you’ll find with such an extensive brunch offering.
Another positive is that Moose has other restaurants in Liverpool. With further spots on Hope Street and Princes Dock, there’s plenty of brunch spots to enjoy Moose hospitality.
