Liverpool’s first combined coffee shop and micro roastery will open its doors after successfully brewing its first coffee on-site.

The new venue, called 92 Degrees Coffee, which says it hopes to “bring artisan coffee to the Hope Street cultural hub” when it opens at the site of the former Old Blind School on 24 Hardman Street, has released a video of the first roast in its new premises.

The independent micro roastery will roast the coffee in-house before serving it to customers, something 92 Degrees says it a first for the city.

The Old Blind School is owned by DBL Limited, which runs the adjacent Hope Street Hotel. In late 2014 it announced it was in talks with a restaurant/pub operator for another part of the Grade II-listed building as it looks to bring it back into use. Previously it has been used as an art exhibition space for the Liverpool Biennial festival.
