Caife Breá

If you’re on the hunt for the best independent coffee cart in Liverpool, look no further than Caife Breá. Tucked just outside St Johns and across the road from Lime Street Station, this charming new addition to Liverpool’s food scene is winning hearts (and taste buds) one cup at a time. It’s small, stylish, and it’s serving up more than just great coffee , it’s dishing out passion, creativity, and some seriously delicious superfood treats.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Caife Breá is a must-visit for anyone who loves to support small businesses and enjoys top-quality food and drink.

Meet Luke – The Heart Behind the Cart

Caife Breá isn’t just another generic grab-and-go spot. It’s a one-man show run entirely by Luke, a friendly and enthusiastic 21-year-old from Ireland who decided to follow his dreams and start his own business. The name “Caife Breá” translates from Gaelic to Beautiful Coffee, which feels perfectly fitting.

What makes Luke’s story even more impressive is the sheer dedication he shows to making his business a success. He travels from Manchester to Liverpool every single day, working seven days a week from morning to evening. That kind of commitment is rare and incredibly admirable – and you can taste it in everything he serves.

More Than Just Coffee

Let’s talk about the menu. While Caife Breá absolutely delivers on the coffee front, it also goes way beyond the average caffeine fix. The offerings are genuinely creative, with something for everyone, whether you’re into healthy smoothies, indulgent treats, or something a bit out of the ordinary.

Luke’s menu includes: Freshly brewed coffees, creamy matchas, superblend smoothies, mushroom-based drinks, homemade overnight oats, acai bowls, protein shakes, and more!

There’s a strong emphasis on health-conscious ingredients, from sea moss and lion’s mane to collagen and chia seeds, but don’t worry, everything still tastes amazing.

What We Tried

Let’s get into the good stuff, what we actually ordered. Spoiler: it was all delicious.

The Feeling Frisky Acai Bowl

This was my first ever acai bowl, and wow…what an introduction. The base was made with organic acai berries that were thick, cold, and almost sorbet-like in texture. It was topped with granola, strawberries, organic coconut flakes, chia seeds, chia raspberry jam, and a drizzle of Nutella.

Visually, it was stunning – bright, colourful, and Instagram-worthy. Taste-wise, it was the perfect balance of refreshing, fruity, and sweet, with the Nutella adding a lovely richness. It was surprisingly filling too and it made the perfect sunshine treat.

The Sippin n Trippin Superblend Smoothie

This smoothie had a mix of sour cherries, morello cherry, pineapple, lime, collagen powder, Irish sea moss, lion’s mane, and coconut milk. It was fresh, tangy, and full of flavour. The cherries and pineapple worked beautifully together, and the lime gave it that little zesty kick.

I was a bit unsure about trying ingredients like sea moss and lion’s mane, but they blended in seamlessly. Knowing that the smoothie was not only tasty but packed with nutrients and health benefits made it even better.

Vanilla White Chocolate Matcha with Coconut Milk

Confession, I’m not usually into matcha. But this drink changed my mind completely. The vanilla and white chocolate gave it a soft sweetness that balanced the earthy tones of the matcha perfectly. It was smooth, light, and incredibly drinkable.

If you’re already a matcha fan , you’re going to love it. If you’re not, try this one and you might just become a convert like me.

Why You Should Visit

Yes, sometimes there’s a queue, especially on sunny days. But trust me, it’s worth the wait. Luke’s running the whole thing on his own, and the level of care he puts into each order is what makes Caife Breá truly special.

Supporting a young independent business owner like Luke is not just good for the community , it’s also a genuinely rewarding experience for you as a customer. The vibe is friendly and down-to-earth, and everything is made with real attention to detail.

Plus, everything on the menu feels thoughtfully designed, not just to taste good, but to make you feel good. There are health benefits packed into every drink and bowl, from collagen for skin and gut health, to immune-boosting mushroom extracts and cognitive-enhancing lion’s mane.

A Hidden Gem Across from Lime Street

Liverpool has no shortage of great spots to eat and drink, but Caife Breá has carved out a unique little niche. It’s right in the middle of the action, making it ideal for a quick coffee stop, a breakfast on the go, or a light lunch that doesn’t leave you feeling sluggish.

And because it’s still pretty new, there’s a good chance your mates haven’t even heard of it yet, making it the perfect place to impress someone with a hidden gem recommendation.
