Food Lands

You'll spot the colourful murals before you even reach the door on Stanley Street, and that's your first clue that Food Lands isn't your typical daytime cafe. Sure, they do the breakfast and coffee thing well enough during standard hours, but where this place really shines is when the sun goes down and Liverpool's night owls need feeding. While other cafes are shuttering at teatime, Food Lands is just hitting its stride. Those weekend 5am closing times aren't a mistake – they're a lifeline for anyone who's ever desperately needed a proper brew and something more substantial than a kebab after a night out. The bright artwork gives the place an almost gallery-like feel, though the relaxed atmosphere means you won't feel out of place rolling in at 3am still buzzing from the cavern quarter.
