Potts Coffee
What is it? A 100% plant-based coffee shop
Why you’ll love it: With a modern design, this is not your hippy hangout but a cozy entry into the world of veganism (through pancakes and lattes!)
What you need to know: A café that cares: about animals, about the environment, about the neighborhood. Potts Café makes sure to weave ideas of ethical sourcing, sustainability, and community into their coffee business. But these are not just of-the-moment trends but translate into real-world solutions — fairtrade beans, compostable takeaway containers, reclaimed furniture, and products from local producers, farmers, and makers.
Why we think it matters: Plant-based lifestyles are shown to reduce the environmental impact of animal-based food systems. Consuming more vegan meals and snacks has real-world impacts, by minimizing water and land use, creating less pollution, slowing down deforestation and even saving lives by promoting human health. Plus, it feels good to support a business that is dedicated to doing good in the world. (Eating here is basically selfless self-care. Just saying.)
In their own words: “One lazy Sunday morning our founders, Jonny & Danielle had a dilemma - they wanted great coffee and a great vegan brunch. Being coffee enthusiasts and brunch lovers - they wanted somewhere that they could get both. From there, their mission was to create an entirely vegan coffee haven in Liverpool city centre - fulfilling the needs of brunch lovers in the city, whilst striving to make the world more compassionate (& delicious).”
How to bring this into your life: This one needs a visit if you are in the area, particularly for their vegan brunch which started it all. From home, you can shop their merchandise (our eyes are on the Be Kind Tote bag.) Or start your own plant practice by replacing cow milk with oat in your morning coffee.
