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 2024 campaign, we’ve given out 19 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 Curry, with the vote closing at midnight on Sunday, September 8.

Vote for St Helens' Best for Curry 2024

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 X (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

Voting closes at midnight each Sunday.

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

Usual Newsquest competition rules apply.

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 2024 search and then every Thursday to vote for your favourite from our shortlist.
