Wake & Cate, a European-style café and cake house has opened on Tarleton Street, just off Williamson Square.

The new patisserie-style eatery is modeled on the upmarket delicatessens of continental city districts and offers a variety of sweet treats including French and Italian style gateaux, Anatolian tray bakes and homemade macaroons.

The new café occupies a 4,000 sq ft unit previously home to Paul Rooney Solicitors following a £400,000 investment by owner George Dadoudis and will also stock a selection of traditional hot savoury filo pastries, as well as deli sandwiches and panini.

George Dadoudis, director of Wake & Cate, says: “We spent a couple of years researching different locations including London, Birmingham and Manchester. However, Liverpool really struck us.

“We were very impressed with its favourable commercial conditions, friendly people and its track record in welcoming new food concepts.”

Sean Collins-Jones of Hitchcock Wright & Partners, which secured the site on behalf of Wake & Cake, adds: “Wake & Cate’s new European café and cake house is a new and exciting addition to the city’s thriving food and drink offering.

“With the revamp of St John’s close by, the eatery will certainly add to the regeneration and commercial attraction of the area.”

Wake & Cate is open daily from 8am to 9pm.
