Coffee roasters in Merseyside

Merseyside has 8 independent coffee roasters, with Liverpool the centre of gravity and Birkenhead across the Mersey adding meaningful heritage depth. The age range here is unusual: a Birkenhead roastery has been at the same industrial estate since 1978, while a Liverpool brand has expanded to seven city sites in the same span others have built one. Most operations here lean specialty, with a community first sensibility that maps onto Liverpool's independent culture.

Adams & Russell, founded in 1978 on a Birkenhead industrial estate, are still operating from the same address nearly five decades later; Birkenhead's shipping heritage shapes the roastery's character. 92 Degrees Coffee began in Liverpool and has expanded at unusual pace for a specialty roaster: seven Liverpool sites plus locations in Manchester, Salford, Leeds, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Birmingham, all roasted in house. Neighbourhood Coffee, founded in 2014 by Chris Holloway and Ed Peck, takes a deliberately accessible position. Specialty without the snobbery, sold through wholesale, subscriptions and retail from a Sandon Estate roastery.

Liverpool has the highest density and the easiest day for visitors. The Baltic Triangle and Ten Streets areas have several roasters within walking distance. Birkenhead (Adams & Russell) and Rainhill (Rainhill Coffee Roasters) extend the radius if you have time and a car.
