IF you need a strong cup of coffee, where do you go?

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 2024 and we put together a shortlist of 12 of the best places in town that serve premium coffee, top quality breakfasts and excellent, homemade cakes and cookies.

Rhode Island Coffee on Old Market Square in the town centre topped the table.
