This was on my list for places to eat in Liverpool so we thought we’d stop here since we were somewhat near. The shop is small but quite trendy. Shame about the cracked window. It’s retro looking, they even have a street fighter arcade machine which is free to use. We were served immediately. They have a selection of maybe 8-10 sandwiches. Everyone is freshly made. Unfortunately we arrived nearer closing time so a couple of the sandwiches had sold out. The lady that served us was helpful and recommended the grinder which is what I got. The grinder is salami, prosciutto, chicken, emmental, tomato, tapenade, grinder slaw and honey. My wife is a fussy pup and there was nothing on the menu that she was confident enough in trying. The lady did try and accommodate as much as she could but we only left with 1 sandwich. The grinder was superb. Excellent flavour and incredibly tasty. It wasn’t rammed full like you sometimes see but had just enough filling. The fact that it was warm and toasted made it that much nicer. I wouldn’t come here often because it’s a little expensive at £8.50 (£11.50 for delivery) but it was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had so I’ve got to come back.
One of the most authentic cafes in town. Unrivalled sandwiches and morning knots. Excellent coffee. Chilled vibes, sound staff and of course, Street Fighter 😂. Will miss Derek’s.
Just had a take away cappuccino which was tasty and the lady behind the counter was very nice. It has a really cool atmosphere inside the coffee shop 🙂🤩
Vegan sandwich was fresh and tasty. Got another for the way home. Hazelnut coffee just right
Absolutely fantastic sandwiches, highly recommend the gabagool. Yes, it's expensive but the ingredients are top tier so definitely worth it.
Having lived in New York for 10 years I find Derek's a pleasant place to grab a bite. That is inspired by traditional style US delis. The sandwich I got was the vegan Turkey and it was delicious. I do think it was extremely overpriced for what you get as the sandwich isn't filled in the way I thought it would be american style. It had just a small amount of the fillings. I think the prices are very steep but I have always enjoyed the food. When visiting early on I ordered a peach tea another popular American beverage and saw it was just poured into a plastic cup from a bottle in the fridge. I assumed it was fresh homemade style peach tea.
It’s like most things you buy if you want the best you will pay more.
Actually had a proper cappuccino not some milky boiling froth less mess which is the norm nowadays.
The sandwich well made tasty and more than enough 👍
Great new shop in Crosby will do well
Great New York style sandwiches! They sell out quick so need to get there early
Staff are fantastic and the food is amazing. I highly recommend trying scoop too, best gelato in Liverpool
Friendly staff, quick service and great sandwiches. Definitely worth a visit!
