More than just a café: Creating space for community

 At the heart of Liverpool’s thriving Knowledge Quarter, Spaces at The Spine is more than just a conference and events venue. As one of Liverpool’s most sustainability-focused venues and one of the healthiest buildings in the world to achieve Platinum WELL Building Standard certification, every aspect of the space has been carefully designed to support physical wellbeing, mental health and meaningful human connection.

That sense of connection continues in our adjoining café, The Basé Café, a welcoming Liverpool café designed to bring people together. Whether it’s a morning coffee before work, a healthy lunch with colleagues, or a relaxed setting for post-event networking, The Basé is far more than somewhere to grab a bite to eat. It’s a social hub for the local business community, visitors and occupiers alike.

A Liverpool café designed for connection

In today’s fast-paced working world, creating space to pause and connect has never been more important. From informal catch-ups over ethically sourced coffee to conversations that inspire new collaborations, The Basé Café offers a calm and welcoming environment where ideas can flow naturally.

Located within Liverpool’s Knowledge Quarter, the café has become a popular meeting spot for professionals, students and visitors looking for a healthier, more mindful café experience in the city centre. With comfortable seating, natural light and a relaxed atmosphere, it encourages guests to slow down, recharge and reconnect throughout the day.

Supporting wellbeing and sustainability in Liverpool

As part of the WELL Building Standard principles embedded throughout Spaces at The Spine, The Basé Café reflects a commitment to both wellbeing and sustainability. Thoughtful design features, including biophilic elements, air-purifying plants and naturally bright spaces, help create an environment that feels restorative and energising.

Sustainability also plays a key role in the café experience. Working alongside local North West suppliers and prioritising responsible sourcing, The Basé supports a more sustainable approach to hospitality in Liverpool. Nutritious menu options, seasonal ingredients and mindful waste reduction practices all contribute to a café experience that’s good for both people and planet.
