The 10 best places in Warrington 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 Warrington's Best Café or Coffee Shop 2023 and we put together a shortlist of ten of the best places in town that serve premium coffee, top quality breakfasts and excellent, homemade cakes and cookies.

CJ's Coffee Shop and Tearoom on Warrington Road in Penketh was the runaway winner despite staking claim to being the smallest coffee shop in town.

Here are the best ten cafés or coffee shops in Warrington, where you can mark International Coffee Day.
