The 10 best places in St Helens to celebrate International Coffee Day

Today is International Coffee Day - a day dedicated to the hot beverage, its rich history and the people who grow it.

And there’s no better way to celebrate than a strong cup of coffee - or a frothy milky one!

Earlier this year, we searched for St Helens’ Best Café or Coffee Shop 2024 and we put together a shortlist of 12 of the best places in town that serve premium coffee, top quality breakfasts and excellent, homemade cakes and cookies.

Nirvana Coffee Shop in on Lowfield Lane in St Helens topped the table doing a Best of 2024 double, having bagged St Helens’ Best for Afternoon Tea earlier in the summer.

Here are the 10 best cafés or coffee shops in St Helens, where you can mark International Coffee Day.
