Oriel Chambers Coffee Shop

Oriel Chambers, Liverpool’s internationally famous Water Street offices, pre-dates by 20 years the construction methods used to build Chicago’s first skyscrapers. It was also, for over a century, the home of the prestigious restaurant The Oriel. Now, in 2018, with the return of a coffee shop on the sub-ground floor, the opportunity has arisen once more for the general public to enter the building. At the coffee shop you will find that Cheryl is passionate about the history of the building and is enthusiastically selling the Liverpool History Society’s book, In the Footsteps of Peter Ellis, with recent copies having been bought by two foreign architects who were visiting Liverpool. In 1932 a columnist on The Liverpolitan wrote of the restaurant that, ‘You are on hallowed ground. That The Oriel is spoken of in reverent voice by sea-going men in every port is more than a well-known fact. It is an authentic legend.‘ So why not pay the coffee shop a visit, re-enter this hallowed ground, and enjoy a selection of the delightful cakes?
