Or maybe you’re planning to enjoy a nice cup of tea and a slice of cake this afternoon.

Which café or coffee shop would be your number one destination for a spot of lunch or to catch up with friends while you enjoy a hot drink?

We’re looking for St Helens’ Best Café or Coffee Shop and we need your help to find the town’s perfect place for a brew.

In our Best of 2023 campaign, we’ve given out 18 awards so far in St Helens for hair, nails and beauty, tattoos and independent shops, as well as pizza, dessert and cocktails and many more.

Voting is currently taking place to find St Helens’ Best for Burgers, with the vote closing at midnight on Monday, August 28.

This week it’s cafes and coffee shops.

Tell us which of the town’s cafés and coffee shops should make our latest shortlist and then the overall winner will be decided by you, our readers.

Which is your favourite café or coffee shop?

HOW IT WORKS: 

Each Friday morning we will reveal new categories via our social media pages and ask you who is the best. Nominations will then close each Monday morning at 12pm.

Every Thursday we will publish a shortlist of finalists with voting officially opening.

You will be able to vote in one of three ways:

- By commenting under the relevant post on our St Helens Star Facebook or Twitter pages = 1 vote

- By entering via the online article on our St Helens Star website = 2 votes

- By entering via our St Helens Star newspaper = 5 votes

The following Wednesday evening we will announce the winner of that category on social media.

Usual Newsquest competition rules apply.

So, get in touch with your café or coffee shop nominations and tell us who is amazing enough to be one of our finalists.

To make your nomination go to facebook.com/sthelensstar or find us on Twitter @sthelensnews

Alternatively, you can email your nomination, telling us the name of the café or coffee shop, where they’re based and why they deserve to be shortlisted, to heidi.summerfield@newsquest.co.uk

Don’t forget to keep an eye on our website and our social media each Friday morning, when we will launch a new Best of 2023 search and then every Thursday to vote for your favourite from our shortlist.
