Pippin's Corner - Liverpool

Michał Skibiński

Visit Date & Time: Arrived Wednesday at 11:33 a.m.
Ambiance & Service: The restaurant was nearly full upon arrival, with only two tables available. The staff promptly greeted me and were at my table at 11:33 a.m. The atmosphere was mellow and LGBTQ-friendly, creating a welcoming and relaxed environment. The space was cozy and provided a nice view of Lark Lane, which made for a pleasant escape from the rain.

Table Setup: Notably, there was only ground pepper, not freshly cracked, available on the table.

Order Details: At 11:38 a.m., I placed an order for the Large Breakfast and a flat white coffee. I was asked how I would like my eggs (options were poached, scrambled, or fried) and whether I preferred white or granary toast; I opted for fried eggs and white toast.

Coffee Experience: My flat white arrived at 11:44 a.m. It was served at a good temperature with a smooth taste, not burnt, and likely made from a light or medium roast, which suggests good quality beans were used.

Food Review: My food was served at 11:50 a.m. The breakfast was mostly well-prepared—eggs were fried with runny yolks, sausages had a great taste without being overly herby, and the black pudding was flavorful with a pleasing crunch. However, the sausages could have used a bit more browning. The potato tots were nicely crunchy and puffy. The mushrooms, while initially warm, turned cold before I finished the meal. The bacon was of average quality, and the baked beans were served at room temperature. Unfortunately, the plate itself wasn’t heated, which might have contributed to some of the food cooling down too quickly.

Overall Impression: The staff were attentive, and the overall dining experience was pleasant, enhanced by a warm and inclusive atmosphere. While the breakfast was satisfying, heating the plate could have kept the food at an optimal temperature for longer. It was a nice spot to sit indoors, enjoy a quality coffee, and relax away from the weather outside.

Great little spot on lark lane with super friendly staff and delicious food. I tried the full English breakfast and enjoyed it, everything tasted fresh and cooked to order.

I only voted 4 out of 5 as the wait time was quite long around 40 minutes and people who came after us received their food sooner

Overall I’d definitely recommend this for breakfast!

Lovely place. First time here. We both got the spicy eggs. A nice twist on scrambled eggs but with a spicy kick! Enjoyed. Staff very friendly

Really nice cafe on Lark Lane. We sat in the outside area which was quite nice and had a parasol above the table. The salt and pepper shakers are very cute. They have a few options for vegetarians/vegans but not sure about other dietary requirements. When we were served we were told it would be about a 40 minute wait for food which was fine. I had an espresso martini which was very nice and my husband had a bottled beer. I don't think we did wait 40 minutes for food, I think it was quicker than that. The pancakes are lovely, sweet and fluffy with a good amount of topping. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Toilets are up a small set of stairs and are quite small but very clean. We wanted to leave a tip but there was not an option to do this on the card reader so bring cash if you plan to leave a tip. Good value for money too.

We had a nice breakfast at Pippins corner today! Friendly and caring staff, would highly recommend it, they are quite honest about the wait times as it’s usually full and busy especially on a day like Sunday with perfect weather! Nice atmosphere and vibes.. with great outdoor seating!
We loved what we ordered and went down a treat! Bacon sausage on toast and a Philly cheese steak sandwich!

Really love this place. Actually dog friendly so dogs can be inside (not like other places on lark lane that claim to be friendly). The staff work incredibly hard, when we went the place was so busy and all the staff were still polite and friendly! I'll be back for pancakes again very soon. Also the picture is from outside as it was so busy inside and my dog was loving the attention from passers by ?

Myself and 3 others visited here last weekend. It was very busy but luckily we got a table. We were warned that it would be a 45 min wait for food because of how busy it was. The cafe had nice vibe and atmosphere. They have a large menu which caters for for most diets. For drinks I went with the ridiculously pimmped hot chocolate which was instagram worthy. It didn’t just look incredible, it tasted great! The cream was overflowing out of the cup! My wife and sister got the strawberry milkshake from the specials but unfortunately they had run out of fresh strawberries so just used strawberry syrup instead. They said the shake was nice enough. For food I got the leak and potato soup followed by Sriracha scrambled eggs on toast with chorizo and bacon. The soup was pretty good and the egg dish was also good but I’ve had a similar dish before, and it wasn’t quite on the same level. My sister got the soup as well, followed by the fish finger butty. She also liked the soup and the butty went down well. My wife also got the fish finger butter and she thought it was better than she anticipated. Although it could’ve done with a little more tartar sauce. We got salt and pepper homey’s from the specials to share. They are basically mini roast potatoes with a spicy coating. They were actually very nice. Probably the highlight. Despite the shop being so busy the service pretty good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Although there maybe needs to be better communication because we had a couple of staff ask if we had ordered yet. It was slightly disappointing having to wait 45 mins for food but thankfully we had good company. I would like to try the cooked breakfasts next time as they are meant to be great.
