Aubergine Cafe in Wirral

A real gem in West Kirby! We loved Aubergine Café so much, we visited twice during our stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home as soon as we walked in. The café itself is a beautiful, airy space with a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. The coffee was excellent, and the food was just as impressive—everything fresh and full of flavor. But the real standout? The cake! Absolutely delicious, with a great selection that made it hard to choose (so we didn’t—we came back for more!). Highly recommend for anyone looking for a warm, quality café experience in West Kirby. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!

Really nice quirky place kind of like Monica's apartment from friends meets a a cosy grandma's house. Great place for breakfast/brunch lovely staff and gorgeous food. Recommend the burrito I added smokey bacon 👌👌. Really nice coffee too and very reasonably priced. Will go back.

I was present yesterday when the family with young children were there and can say that their child was in fact crying hysterically. Dad took him out a couple of times for around a minute but then took him back in where he carried on screaming. Both parents were rude & obnoxious and to have a go at an elderly member of staff is disrespectful & disgusting. The staff in aubergine are always friendly and welcoming and the food and coffee is the best around. Would recommend to anyone!

When visiting recently I was utterly astounded to overhear a young family being asked to leave by a member of staff due to their little one being upset (as little ones do, he could have been no more than 2 years old). Never in all my years have I witnessed such disgraceful treatment of somebody in a supposedly family friendly restaurant. If I had been asked to leave a restaurant every time my child got upset I’d have never eaten out again! Needless to say I won’t be returning. I would instead reccommended Little Eye in West Kirby to anyone wanting brunch, a far more welcoming restaurant and their food is wonderful.

Had a shocking experience at Aubergine. Went for brunch with my family, my 2 year old was a little grumpy and upset so his dad took him out for a walk. A lady that worked there came over and asked us to leave. I was so shocked. I explained that 2 year olds sometimes get upset. She replied that he was upsetting everyone else. Absolutely dreadful behaviour and customer service. I would never go back there again.

Fantastic cafe. I was present during the previous review re an incident about being asked to leave because their child was a little upset. This was not the situation at all, the child was more than just a “little upset” and the customers were not asked to leave. Staff are fantastic in there and go above and beyond. Best cafe on the Wirral! ⭐️

Nice enough cafe, good vegan choices. Main bad point is not allowed dogs inside, come on people it's not the 80s anymore. It's been a long time since I have been somewhere that doesn't allow dogs

Delicious food and lovely staff. We visited Aubergine Café for lunch and the two ladies who waited on us were so accommodating about my brother's egg allergy. They notified the kitchen staff who went to every length to ensure my brother's food was in no way contaminated by the other items in the kitchen. Really friendly, warm staff who made our day!

Really nice cake and Smokey coffee, nice cosy place with a lovely, friendly proprietor. Well recommended!

Visited recently and the food was first class. Staff were really friendly (especially Anne who served our table). Highly recommended.

We love Aubergine! It is just the most beautiful place to eat. We enjoyed lunch with friends! They shared large breakfast as plenty for two! We also had duck/hoisin wrap and classic club sandwich! Huge portions, staff and service outstanding! Place full with others waiting - a definite firm favourite as food first class and stunning.

What a fantastic find this was, we usually go to Hannah’s but it was full, this place was also full but a couple left as we arrived, we both had coffee which was excellent and the poached eggs on toast was bang on, beautiful orange yolks,will definitely return when in the area as we’re not too far away in Chester. 👍

Great start to the day. Fabulous food and service everything you need from a cafe ☕️

I ordered the club sandwich a first time try but I wanted to try it and it was absolutely delicious 😋. A massive 3 tiered sandwich of all tasty stuff, and perfectly crispy skin-on fries to compliment. Staff was nice and friendly and a great chill atmosphere.

,1st time here but we have visited many of the local eateries and this has got to be a favourite. By far the warmest of welcomes and attentive staff, the food is freshly made no instant microwave warming so with that you should be prepared to wait a little, your drinks are brought almost instantly and the food is lovely a really lovely little gem in West Kirby....we had a full English and pancakes, bacon and maple syrup and both were of a very high standard, delicious. The staff are wonderful a credit to Aubergine, tips are shared with all who work there not just the waiting staff...Great place

This is a lovely place. Really friendly staff and a lovely menu. Food prepared beautifully. Definitely recommend.

Sat outside, pleasant enough weather. Busker up the street made a nice atmosphere. Good full breakfast and pancakes 🥞🤤

Me and my daughter love it here. It's our spot for bunch after swimming on a Monday. She loves the pancakes! Great vegan breakfast too. The staff are really friendly and helpful aswell. Lovely atmosphere!

Visited for brunch with my daughter on our day off today. The welcome was warm and genuine, service excellent and the food and drinks were delicious. Will certainly be visiting again

Lovely little place hash browns to die for 👍🏼

Tried a few cafe's and they were all busy so chose to sit outside in 6 degrees !!! The cafe was packed so we thought we would have to wait ages but the friendly staff took only 15 minutes to get food to us. My husband had a full English and it was great, I had a tuna melt which came on a huge chunk of bread.....Excellent service and food despite being run off their feet..

Met a friend for coffee. Not been for a good while but the last time the coffee was expectional. Unfortunately myself & my friend where presented with two coffees one flat white one cappuccino. They where just like milk no coffee taste, I can make better at home!!! £3.80 for hot milk wish we had complained now.....the server was lovely. Wouldn't come back.Please make sure your staff are fully trained on coffee machine. I'm a barista myself so it's incredibly frustrating receiving poorly made coffee.

Visited for the first time with big sis for lunch. Really cosy and quirky decor, toilet fab with quirky touches. We both had the prawn sandwich which came with fries and salad - all very tasty. Pot of proper tea for two. Seating outside and super festive decorations added to the cosy feel. Very friendly service and would visit again if in the area.

Our favourite cafe for brunch and lunch - lots of vegetarian options - I had avocado, poached eggs and halloumi n on sourdough my partner had duck wrap - we chose to sit outside as we had our pooch ! Lovely food and helpful staff!

We went on a Sunday morning & initially there were only a few other customers but by the time we left it was packed & I can understand why . . . The breakfast was delicious 😋 Admittedly it's pricey at £10.95 for 2 poached eggs, avocado, tomatoes on toasted sourdough + a coffee so you're looking @ £14 or £15 for breakfast but it was lovely 🙂 The staff are very welcoming.

Nice cosy place. Friendly staff. Food was good but a bit pricey.

The contrast between this delightful, welcoming, friendly cafe and the unfriendly cafe across the road is conspicuous, thank you Aubergine for a lovely breakfast 😋

Nice coffee,but toilet bit awkward to get into and out of

Lovely cafe, friendly staff, food lovely 😍 👌

Really great food and awesome service.

Abel o accomdation 8 of us for a great brunch today

Went for a last minute lunch with a friend! The tables are so close together which I don’t really like but it’s a very small space so I get they want to fit as many in as they can. I had a San Pellegrino and my friend loves their hot chocolate so she got one of those. For lunch we had a club sandwich and a crispy duck wrap, both came with fries and a little salad. They were really nice, decent portion sizes and we both really enjoyed. I think it was around the £14 mark each for lunch and a drink, I thought that was quite expensive but the food is really good. Will definitely return soon!

eaten here several times and its always wonderful! lovely friendly staff, nicely furnished cafe with a warm atmosphere. would highly recommend a visit, you won't be disappointed!

Lovely lunch, great atmosphere, friendly staff

Came across this beautiful cafe while visiting friends. Great atmosphere, friendly staff & tasty food. Well done guys

The best breakfast burger and smashed avocado on toast I've ever had! Very good service too. Eat here, you'll be satisfied!!

The food here is of superb quality. So impressed with the breakfast we had. Great options for veggies Also the iced coffee was delicious The staff were super friendly

Food was nice( Gluten free option was quite a small portion). Staff were friendly.

Simply the best full English breakfast in the area. Top quality ingredients beautifully presented. Friendly and efficient staff and always a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit.

Great breakfast selection and delicious coffee. Friendly helpful staff too.

Absolutely Lovely! Staff were delightful and couldn't help enough, I simply wanted a gluten free sandwich but honestly didn't expect it to taste so good along with my almond milk cappuccino. I will 100% be back. What a great find!!

Lovely place. Friendly staff and well priced. 👍🏻

staff are all so lovely. I brought my friend for lunch and she loved it . thank you Carin

Not been here b4 but would go again.

Sorry but 40 minutes wait for two very simple lunch orders was too long. The food is good but not brilliant, and not worth waiting so long for. The restaurant was quite busy but not frenetic, so we supposed they were short-handed in the kitchen. Waiting staff very good, very efficient.

Went for the first time today and I was really impressed. Sat outside in the sunshine with a cold drink and had a egg mayonnaise sandwich of this delicious brown seeded bread, served with a side of hot crispy fries and really fresh side salad. They even brought us a water bowl out for the dog which was a nice touch. I will be back again and recommending you everyone who visits. Staff very pleasant and helpful. A little gem in West Kirby !

Really love the atmosphere in here, coffee is great and I love getting the sweetcorn fritters! So delicious. Staff are always great, food is quick and tastes amazing. Would recommend!

Been here 3 times. Each time greeted by lovely staff. Really friendly. Had a full English with my partner and we agreed it was the best full English we have had in a long time. Lovely cakes and coffee! Thank you!

This is an excellent cafe serving great food and drink by lovely staff. Nice to be able to sit outside when the weather is good, otherwise it is comfortable inside.

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had, and I've had alot.....so fresh, gorgeous sausage and mostly not abit of grease anywhere. Good professional service from the girls. Better than Hannah's by miles haha!!!!

Possibly the most delicious breakfast I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating! The eggs florentine was cooked perfectly and looked amazing. The breakfast burger was mouthwatering too. Presentation overall was 10/10 and the food couldn’t have been better! I will be back

Excellent service and good food.

Excellent Friendly service.Very nice Lunch

Nice secluded coffee bar and restaurant.

Everything fried over done and greasy...shame because customer service excellent

Always come here for food, cake, coffee when we visit West Kirby from Yorkshire and it never disappoints.

Lovely relaxed lunch . Service was slow, but worth the wait as our food was cooked to order. We had a classic English breakfast, which was well cooked and served by friendly staff.

Ì entered this very busy cafe and quickly ordered my Latte Coffee and toasted tea cake and sat and waited at the nearest available table.I was asked by a grey haired lady if I wished to sit at the far end .I stated I was happy where I was .She kept bobbing about the place and must have asked me 3 times if I wanted a menu .While I was there waiting other people who arrived after me were served with food .The coffee eventually arrived .Nothing wrong with that but the service was awful .

Very pleasant cafe, lovely decor, service with a smile, and the food is delicious

Boss scran, I had the chorizo hash whilst my other half had the full English… great service & the coffee was lovely. Would recommend people to visit.

Lovely little cafe which serves really lovely food. The menu is really varied and has lots of choice. The staff are particularly lovely here. The lady who serves the food is just so nice. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend thie place if you are in the West Kirby area.

This café sets a high standard for coffee and food in West Kirby at a reasonable price. I just can’t reason why the cosy, warm and unique atmosphere that once tied it all together was changed and is now the polar opposite of this.

Beautiful little cafe Such a beautiful place, cosy, warm and charming Food was yummy too! We had eggs royal and the full breakfast. Couldn’t even finish it all, portion sizes are so generous. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I made a slight amendment to my order and staff happily did it for me. Would definitely recommend

Lovely cafe nice lunch, friendly and helpful staff. Dog friendly outside only. First time I'd eaten inside had the brie and cranberry sandwich it was very nice indeed.

We came for lunch and asked for a table with space for a pram. The owner of the cafe was not helpful at all, to the point that a member of the public moved so we could squeeze my son (1 year old) onto the end of a table and she rolled her eyes. Another colleague, who stated she had 2 children, was absolutely amazing and she even gave me words of wisdom. I won't be returning because of the rudeness of the owner but do believe the other colleague deserves to be front of house more than the owner. Thank you. P.s. don't have highchairs on display if you don't want children.

What a lovely welcoming place to eat. Our server was friendly and used inclusive language (so refreshing to be greeted like this) the food was amazing and came out quickly despite being very busy. We were encouraged to spread out and use two tables so we weren't cramped up. We will definitely return.

Cosy little cafe in west kirby .friendly happy staff breakfast was spot on for the start of my birthday

Delicious food and lovely staff

The food here is fabulous. Came for a late breakfast and we (3 of us) had different breakfasts. One had the classic, I had the bubble n squeak and daughter had the corn fritter breakfast. Everyone loved their breakfasts. So delicious and very high standard, no cheap bacon here 🤣 A special mention though to our waitress Ann who was so welcoming and a delight to be around, not so common these days, fabulous ❤️❤️

Crispy roasted duck was my favourite .

All of the staff that work here are really lovely and helpful. They are attentive and the service is quick. The food is delicious and reflects the price. There is lots to choose from. Ive been a few times and it is usually pretty busy which makes sense as its so good.

Sadly my food was taking so long to arrive that I gave up and left before it arrived. I'd ordered eggs benedict. I hadn't been there for years because I recall the service being slow then also, so perhaps it's something that needs addressing.

Very average with only 1 vegan option

Good café with decent food served by friendly staff. Unfortunately far too many tables have been crammed in so your conversation is shared with the neighbouring tables. The tables are all small and can barely accommodate two large plates, two cups condiments etc. Some people might like this noisy cosy set-up but sadly the cramped conditions will put me off going again.

The most fantastic breakfasts at reasonable prices

Established cafe in West Kirby. I had lunch with friends, sitting outside.

Visited Aubergine several times and I won't write a lot, there's no need. The staff here are great and the food is lovely. The chef here is putting in a lot of effort and I've been to plenty of larger restaurants where they can't provide food and service like this. Always friendly and attentive. Had a lovely and hoc midweek lunch. Large portions. All happy with our choices.

Lovely food but a little pricey

One of our most favourite places for breakfast for my partner and I. Recommend highly to anybody looking for amazing food and service

Amazing service from the lovely Anne! She is an absolute asset to the cafe. A lot of other cafes and restaurant could learn a lot from the service Anne provided. Definitely will return for the lovely food and fantastic service.

Had an exceptionally good brunch here. The servers are excellent but not obtrusive. Highly recommended

Everything about this place is amazing and I wish I could order all the menu 😅. Anne who served us was absolutely lovely!!!

What a gem! Lovely food and great service from some really pleasant people. Well done!

Fabulous place to visit. I went at the weekend. Staff super lovely and food fab

Found this place by chance on an extremely soggy Saturday. My daughter and I enjoyed a lovely lunch and a nice Chai Latte. The staff were very welcoming and polite and the food presentation was excellent. Will definitely go again.

A lovely little cafe with very nice food and excellent staff. I read somewhere it is ‘dog friendly’ but this only applies to the tables outside so spaces can be limited.

I went here on a busy Saturday at lunch time and it was packed but we managed to get a table. The service was excellent, the food delicious and the atmosphere lovely. I had the buttermilk chicken wrap, omg it was amazing. I could have happily eaten it twice. The fries were crunchy and tasty and just the right amount of salad on the side.

Lovely coffee, generous cake sizes and nice atmosphere.

Love it here, I come all the time for lunch or just for a coffee with friends. The staff are always lovely and attentive, food is always yummy and just a great place to relax!

Gorgeous lunch. Was warned of a 30 minute wait for food, but was well worth it. Friendly and efficient staff.

Had a lovely full English breakfast, food was of good quality and the place it self had a nice chilled atmosphere, cute little cafe, only disappointment was I asked for no black pudding I wasn’t offered anything extra, but apart from that, it was great and will definitely go back

Delightful, lovely, fresh cooked food, spectacular service. Can't wait for my next visit.

Had coffee and cake. It was very nice. Staff were friendly and helpful

Lovely fresh food and great service, especially from the older lady working there, she was an absolute delight, she was very hospitable

The loveliest cafe, brunch and sandwich spot near hoylake beach. We had a lovely brunch yesterday and would definitely return.

Food was good and sun was shining!

Had mushroom soup a few days ago. 5/5 Today Pea and Mint. 2/5. Please try harder. Very watery. Attention by staff needs help as well.

What a lovely find - very tasty and blessed by good weather to eat al fresco. Very very friendly and unhurried

This was my first visit and won't be my last. The food was delicious. I had a club sandwich all parts of which were lovely but the fluffy white bread was the star. My sister had a halloumi wrap (plenty of choice for vegetarians) and she ate all of that. The waiting staff and kitchen staff work like Trojans, well done all of you for your first class work.
