Tucked away on the corner of a busy road in Liverpool city centre is a warm and welcoming café that's been gaining five stars on TripAdvisor for its "fantastic food".
After hearing good things, I paid my first visit to Lovelocks Coffee Shop last week and found a cosy atmosphere, with plenty of charm. Inside, the café has a slightly retro feel, with mismatched upcycled furniture, lots of lovely hanging plants, plenty of natural light - and a view of the Walker Art Gallery if you sit in just the right place.
You can buy bits and bobs from local independent makers, there's a stack of old board games, a piano in the corner, and you'll even find disco balls and fairy lights in the toilets. As soon as I stepped through the door, a friendly face handed me a menu and said they'd be over to take my order.
