BREAKING: Liverpool’s popular café, Minna, is now a star in the spotlight, having been featured in the new Netflix thriller series “Run Away.” This fresh drama, adapted from a novel by Harlan Coben, showcases the café’s vibrant atmosphere and appeal, captivating audiences around the globe.
The series, which began filming last year, features Ruth Jones, known for her role in Gavin & Stacey, portraying private detective Elena Ravenscroft. The gripping plot follows desperate father Simon Greene, played by James Nesbitt, as he searches for his missing daughter. Key scenes were filmed in various locations across Manchester and notably, several crucial moments in the heart of Liverpool.
In an exciting twist, the café’s involvement is showcased in the first episode where viewers will witness Jones’s character engaging in a dramatic “dognapping” scene at Sefton Park, further elevating Minna’s status in the culinary and entertainment scene.
Ruth Jones expressed her enthusiasm for Liverpool, stating,
“I also loved seeing a bit more of Liverpool which I didn’t really know at all. The architecture there is fantastic, and Sefton Park – beautiful. The people there were very friendly too.”
Minna, located on Lark Lane, opened its doors in December 2021. With a focus on sustainability, the café serves locally sourced, organic brunch options and cocktails, quickly becoming a favorite among locals and visitors alike. The café’s owner, Molly, named the establishment after her grandmother, aiming to create a community hub that reflects her commitment to traceability and quality.
The café’s eye-catching décor, featuring lush greenery and bright interiors, has made it a must-visit spot for food enthusiasts. The Liverpool ECHO previously praised Minna’s delightful offerings, declaring it “completely besotted” with the food and ambiance.
As the series gains traction on Netflix, it promises to take viewers on an emotional journey while showcasing the charm of Liverpool’s locales. Harlan Coben himself expressed admiration for the filming locations, stating,
“When you do as many shows as we’ve done there, you really get the charm. What’s wonderful about the north of England is there’s such variety. There’s a combination of everyday and eccentric about the settings there.”
For fans eager to experience the blend of drama and culinary delight, Minna is poised to become a trending destination. The café not only offers a taste of exceptional brunch fare but also a slice of television history that viewers can now enjoy from the comfort of their homes.
