The Bean Bag Cafe Liverpool sits comfortably on Macquarie Street as a go-to spot for locals looking for a solid coffee fix paired with a casual, welcoming atmosphere. This spot blends the vibe of a friendly neighbourhood coffee shop with a breakfast destination that offers more than just the usual suspects.

Regulars here often drop by in the morning or early afternoon, grabbing a cappuccino or iced coffee to start the day or recharge during a midday break. The coffee consistently draws praise for its satisfying size and flavour, hinting at baristas who know their craft. Besides coffee, the menu offers a range of breakfast items like ricotta toast, eggs benedict, and sourdough with smashed avo that fit well into a laid-back weekend brunch or a relaxed weekday treat.

Visitors often find themselves lingering because of the inviting staff energy—welcoming smiles and a light-hearted chatter make the whole experience feel personal rather than rushed. It's the kind of place where locals might catch up over a caramel slice or nutella muffin alongside their drink, or choose something more substantial like the barramundi burger or grilled haloumi salad if hunger strikes later in the day.

The cafe’s vibe works for small gatherings (like Mother’s Day catch-ups) or solo visitors who enjoy a quiet spot with decent WiFi and genuine hospitality. The mix of casual seating and the modest menu size means it’s not a noisy, bustling café but more a comfortable neighbourhood nook where you can feel settled without fuss.

If timing matters, mid-mornings and early afternoons on weekdays generally offer a quieter experience, while weekends tend to bring a steady stream of families and groups chatting over brunch staples and refreshing drinks like the mango smoothie or the chilled out chai frappes. Overall, Bean Bag Cafe caters well to those who appreciate good coffee, straightforward comfort food, and approachable, genuinely friendly service in Liverpool’s local scene.

Surprising and impressive, friendly.... and good feeling, the menu was bigger than I expected and honestly tasty. If you see this place it is worth grabbing a toasted cheese, ham and tomato sandwich 100 %

This place has a very ‘infectious’ staff member. He has a batch that says covid Marshall , however I am not too sure if he is?? he greets everyone with a most genuine smile and welcome tone. Is quick with his service. Very happy dispositions which made it soooo infectious. One can’t help but smile with him. Do come just to say hello to the ‘covid marshal’ ! I would definitely come again just to feel the happy vibes!!!
