Cafe D'Art in Sefton

Place to meet your friends for a few drinks. Usually closes around 2:30. Good music! Always a fun night. Prices are reasonable. There’s an outside and indoor area.

Everyone here is 18 years old, but the music is great. They played "Don't look back in anger", what more can you wish for?

Staff very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Quality of drinks served very good.

Last time I went I was nearly assaulted

Great menu with breakfast options available all day. Fantastic value for money with friendly and helpful staff

Popped in for a snack and coffee. Really enjoyed the snack of Black Pudding presented in an excellent and unusual way. Very friendly staff and I enjoyed viewing the pictures on the walls painted by local painters.

Tucked away down a side alley, and looking very anonymous from the outside, we almost missed stopping here. Really pleased we did find it though as proved an excellent stop for lunch. Food was freshly prepared, and cooked just right. Coffee was as good as anywhere recently. Staff were very friendly, and, after a pair of the best poached eggs I've eaten in a while, the cook gave me some very useful tips which I'm hoping will improve my own! We weren't the only ones listening in! A great stopover after a beautiful morning on the dunes.

Really friendly. Great food and a bonus lesson in producing the perfect poached egg! Thank you

Wife and I ate here for dinner twice mid week. Reservation made, however not busy. Sat in the courtyard area which was very nice, roomy and cool [Franschhoek had been experiencing temp highs of 40* C that week]. Service and food excellent. We had Calamari starters and Bibotie and Springbok mains. Nothing fancy. Would recommend.

A friend and I decided to have our breakfast here for a change. It proved to be a really good decision. The service was very pleasant, quick and, most importantly, it was all cooked fresh. Strongly recommended.

I visited this cafe many moons ago and remembered it being tucked away down a side street along the main high street. I wanted to visit again and I wasn’t disappointed. The young man serving was very polite and couldn’t do enough. I wanted something that wasn’t quite on the menu and the chef obliged with no hesitation. The fries we had with our meal are the nicest I have tasted in a long time. The staff are very nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place and we will be sure to visit again next time we are in Formby.

Omg! New favourite place! Staff are lovely! And not overpriced either, The cakes are tdf, the tapas is delicious, and the coffee is always made perfectly. Highly recommend going to Cafe d’art for any meal

Popped in for a quick drink after work not realising the Cafe D’art is under new management and has a new bistro memo. Lovely food and great staff highly recommended. Jen xx

Walking home from work and stumbled on cafe de Arte Situated just off chapel lane in formby ! We ordered flat bread with a beautiful bottle of 2013 Rioja at just 25.00 for two flat breads and the bottle of wine !!! We got chatting and found out this place is under new management ! i Would recommend you give this little gem a try we’ll worth a visit

Recently visited cafe D’art for a catch up with friends, very impressed with food ( especially the prawns) we ordered a selection of tapas style dishes, all delicious. great atmosphere and very welcoming attentive staff, I will definitely be going back. The freshly baked, vegan friendly banana loaf and coffee went down a treat.

I recently visited Cafe D’art with friends for a birthday meal and couldn’t say a bad word about the place. The food was amazing all freshly cooked, we ordered tapas (small plates), my favorite was the calamari it was cooked perfect. There was so much choice on the menu and found the prices very reasonable. The staff couldn’t do enough for us & we’re so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be returning and would recommend it to anyone.

Im in Formby village often & had never stepped in to this quant little place. I always prefer independently run eateries / coffee spots rather than over priced chains like Costa etc. They offer much more charm & Ambience. If you’re a lover of Art like myself you’ll find this place to be a treat. It has a very inviting atmosphere the staff are friendly &very attentive! I chose to have a with Chicken & Halloumi wrap with salad, not only was it very tasty but the presentation was lovely too. This place is going my new favourite place to Lunch in the village. I did spot some delicious cakes there too, which I intend to try next time .

Delicious food, friend staff. Worth a visit!

Very good and patient service and lovely food and drinks at very good prices.

Visited today with friends. Staff very efficient and helpful. We. All ordered different dishes and thoroughly enjoyed them. The chef brought them out and you could tell they where a freshly prepared and he took pride in presentation. Home made chips yummy!!

Very good-- nice food friendly staff relaxed atmosphere.

We visited our favourite cafe in Formby as a special treat for anniversary. Beautiful food as always served by very friendly staff. Highly recommended and fully licensed if you fancy a tipple xxx

Fabulous food, great value for money and very friendly service. Came for lunch but happy to stay all day if I could, the atmosphere is relaxed whilst you sit amongst the beautiful wall marked art. The nights come alive in this hidden gem but for now I’ll sip my prosecco and look forward to my next visit💕

It’s lovely and quiet for brunch/ lunch lovely food great taste plenty of option also have gluten free cakes

Loved it.Had chefs special rump steak.Done to perfection.Servicegood considering how busy it was.Lovely to meeting a friend at lunch.Chef very good

Lovely breakfast, quick service, will be calling back here.

Brilliant staff lovely food and drink

Very nice food and milkshake. Quiet when we went. The chef made sure my order was what I wanted and was very pleasant

Another delicious meal cooked by the very talented chef Pav.My parents and I really look forward to our Friday lunch visits.Always delicious and excellent value for money.

Lovely little cafe. Slightly hidden away. Great cakes, coffee and service.

The Venue is nice but need more than 2 staff on Saturday night place was packed

It's the best cup of tea in Formby

Called in with hubby after shopping in the village.

I go here often on my own love the place,the food is lovely and prices are good,it’s got a nice atmosphere

Loved it. Been a couple of times and the staff are very friendly. Good food at good prices..

Called in on Saturday to try the new breakfast menu as we’d seen in on Facebook. Decided to go for the mega breakfast as I was starving. It was massive! Really well cooked and a bargain price of £9.95. Will be visiting every Saturday now.

Called here mid morning for the first time. We were greeted by a friendly young man who made us feel very welcome. Extensive menu with daily specials available. I had the vegetable chowder and Mum had the poached egg with black pudding and hash browns. Absolutely perfect and served with a smile. A bonus was the price , very reasonable for such lovely food. We will definitely call again

Fab-u-lous cakes and great service

What a great little cafe with a BIG heart. The food was really tasty and nice and clean. My husband had the breakfast and said it made a change not having to wipe grease off some breakfast items. I had the Boar and Chritzo burger and it was delicious. I don't usually have desserts but the cakes were to good miss out on. Mrs Dawson's ice cream completed the cakes superbly. I suggested I would work their and be paid in food lol. The staff were really friendly and attentive and not in the least bit false. Thank you Elli,Caitlin,Katrina and the excellent chef Pav. We look forward to visiting your great establishment again.

Great staff, food simple /good, good location, but looking a bit tired. Needs a refurb - redecoration, new tables etc.

Exceptional breakfast, easily the best I've had in formby (The kitchen and cafe 48 are close) Home made fresh food perfectly cooked

It's a great place for lunch or just a snack or even just a coffee staff are lovely foods great good price as well.

Great bar staff especially the guy with the beard. Think is name is Timothy.

We have called in here for a few Bacon and Sausage sandwiches, it's great when you fancy popping out for breakfast or can't be bothered to cook one. Always tasty and freshly cooked to order.

Very nice cafe. Small menu but good selection. Try the steak and onion salad. Yummy.

What a nice place will visit again x

Lovely little Cafe Bar serving a wide selection of meals. The specials are amazing, have visited a couple of times of the lat month, and each one is delicious. Highly recommended!!!

Small, step in middle so have to choose which door to use if disabled. Food good, value for money. Pleasant employees. Worth a try.

beautiful tea and cakes friendly service...will be going back....from London.

Nice relaxing atmosphere. Food is good too.

cracking independent cafe! top notch scone!

Somewhere for a hot drink and a bite to eat on a wet January day. Service okay, food choices more calories than interest. Reasonable soup with naff roll and okay BLT. Pot of tea was good and staff happy to top up with hot water.

Poor selection of very overpriced drinks- but you CAN buy them later than anywhere else. Staff are friendly.

Love it here. Small and quaint. Decent food.

I nipped in to cafe d’art yesterday morning after dropping the children at school. The wife was at the gym and I couldn’t be bothered cooking so thought I’d treat myself.

great food, although the service was a little slow - i think they lost our order? would still go back, though.

Este es un relajante y pequeño lugar relajante, la terraza en la parte de atrás es un lugar de sol y por dentro es música y arte para ver y comprar si así lo desea. Las raciones son increíbles aquí y los especiales del cambio semanal. Era servida por una chica sonriente muy amable y nada era un problema para ella. Sin duda volveremos y probar el desayuno y bollos caseros. Cada mesa estaba lleno y el ambiente perfecto para un almuerzo. Me dio la sensación de lleno y satisfecho y estoy deseando volver.

Had a couple of breakfasts here lately and they are really good and fresh tasty produce. The staff are friendly and polite. They also have free WiFi, a bonus in the no signal zone that is Formby village...

I got to the cafe for late breakfast and service was great. Breakfast was amazing all cooked fresh and very tasty. Delicious I will say. Defiantly will come back! Thanks guys well done.

Small and friendly. Great little find.

Great lunch great choice lovely staff

Lovely little place to eat. Only thing is I wish it was bigger as its a good night out. Sometimes has live music on or a DJ at the weekends.

No puedo culpar al chef, la comida está bien, pero miserable servicio. No hay clientes dentro de 3 mesas fuera, un servicio realmente pobres de niños claramente inexperto Los tres conjuntos de clientes insatisfechos. Parece esfuerzos se han concentrado en el paso del comercio en el stand que sirve hamburguesas. temperatura pavimento . insatisfactorio.

Called in to pick up a family picture that I was getting framed next door in Formby Framing. Lovely English breakfast served by a very polite waitress. Just thinking of an excuse to go back today! 🍰

El servicio está bien como son las bebidas, pero los pasteles y bollos que solía ser excelente han bajado un poco. Pero está bien. . . . .

Este pequeño Café sirve un muy buen desayuno y te puedes sentar fuera o dentro. Servidores amables y la comida cocinada a su gusto.

Food was very good as were the staff - very friendly. Very nice surroundings too

An independent cafe just off the main shopping street. Watch out for it as there is no signage to announce its presence.The cafe could do with a little updating, it's not chic enough to be shabby chic, the fixtures are just functional but a bit tatty.Food and service was good enough but we were not convinced that the crepes were "freshly-made". They were still very tasty.

Very very nice breakfast..... Really friendly staff and excellent service. Well worth a visit. Tucked away right in the village centre

The food was absolutely amazing including the presentation, but The service wasn't very good quiet rude, i will be coming back for more amazing food 100% just wish the service was a lot better!

Food is excellent really excellent and reasonably priced

L shaped bar / conservatory functioning as cafe in day and bar by night. Tucked away down a side alley in the centre of formby. Let's be positive the coffee was good, but that's where it stops. The quiche and chips was grim. Odd mixture of chicken mushroom and spinach, greasy and rubbery with a grey appearance when cut. Chips too were greasy and even the Diet Coke tasted as if the line was contaminated. I would recommend this place for coffee but avoid the food.

Came 3 days on the run because the food was so good and cost less than parking (which they refund anyway!) This will make my Christmas shopping so much more enjoyable! Had 2 specials because they were so yummy! Gushing because it was so good. My friends family and I will be back! Gourmet food at cafe prices! Next time I'm trying the crepes! Thank you.

Passing through Formby village looking for something to eat, walked past my favourite little cafe and noticed their new specials board.Popped in and was greeted by their new head chef Pav.Decided to go for the marinated chicken with hunters cabbage with potato wedges and chorizo, what a combo!It was absolutely delicious, highly recommended!

Well known to locals for many years, Cafe d'art will not be too obvious to the casual visiter to Formby who will be presented to the national Costa and Nero brands on the main shopping street.Find Iceland, and turn down the passage way leading to the car park, you will find the individual experience of a true Formby enterprise.Small, but friendly and offering an all day licence, with a menu from morning coffee through to a lunchtime offering and beyond to afternoon tea,During the evening this place comes alive with live music from local bands.During good weather it is possible to enjoy the outside patio area.

Great night out, cheap drinks and a great selection of music played throughout the night!! Open till 2am too what a bonus!! ☺️

I was out for my friends birthday and i asked the barmaid a polite question about using the plug socket and her response was 'whatever' and she shrugged her shoulders. Her customer service skills were very bad the night i went into the bar and didn't appreciate the way i was spoken too.

Great place family friendly, had a nice coffee and cake, staff really helpful will be returning highly recommend!

Popped in today for a quick lunch, decided to have the award winning sausages I'd heard about.They didn't disappoint, possibly the best sausage butty I've tasted.Highly recommended, give them a go, you won't regret it!

quick breakfast on a Monday morning, we have walked past a few times but didn't realize they did breakfast, so popped in as I really fancied a bacon butty.only myself and my wife when we walked in, sat at one of the bench tables and after 5 minutes or so someone came to take our orders, I went for the meat barmcake, sausage bacon and black pudding, it was nice, nothing spectacular, the flat white I ordered was possibly a cappuccino, but was nice and hot and strong too. my wife had the bacon butty i fancied, and her latte was fine, again nothing spectacular.my big gripe is that there is simply nothing worse than going to the toilet and seeing that someone hasn't used the loo brush after them, this may sound like a small thing, but this was early on a Monday morning, so either the cleaner hadn't been in yet, or they don't employ one?, but to make matters worse there wasn't even a brush there for anyone to use even if they wanted to, like I said, possibly a minor gripe but it really does put me off and it gives the impression that a simple thing like a loo brush isn't important.

Love it here... The ambience is relaxed and friendly, great choice of decor - love the flower painted windowsill! The food is very reasonably priced for the portions you get.. Great for breakfast and lunches.. Have had and can recommend scrambled eggs on toast / eggs Benedict and steak and onion baguette.. However their work of art is certainly the crepes... Tried the banana and toffee and strawberry and Nutella.. Oh my word... Heaven!! Will be making this a regular haunt!! It's also open for drinks til approx 1/2am and great selection of beverages.

Never disappoints really good food at a very good price! Staff and friendly and cant do enough! Recommend a visit as it won't let you down.

Went to a friends party and it was really good, food was nice, bar staff friendly quick to get served. Could have a Better selection of drinks but overall very good.

Visited my favourite little cafe this morning with my relatives visiting from Ireland.Our party of eight was looked after by the very attentive staff.Nothing was too much trouble, the food was amazing, off to the beach to walk it off!!!!

My Mate showed me to this little cafe as its out of the way. Glad we found it there was nothing better than tucking in to a cafe d'art big breakfast great value for money. Staff are a great help wouldn't of tried the breakfast if one of the waitresses hadn't recommended it. Couldn't believe I'd never found this place before as I'm quite in to trying out new breakfasts ! We visit now regularly and the staff are always helpful food has never disappointed , might wait a while some times but defiantly worth the wait ! Look forward to visiting again.

Visited this place a few times, always seems to improve every time. I regularly visit with my elderly mother, the girls who work here are always great with her, helpful and very patient ! There's been a few times we've visited when it's been busy but they've always been able to cater for are special needs never the less . My mum absolutely loves to try the home made cakes even though she can never finish a slice ;D, the hot chocolates are to die for including all the toppings of course ! We are still yet to try from the newly changed food menu but everything looks delicious. Can't recommend enough !

Me and my family like to stop off here regularly now ,for some lunch since stumbling upon this little quirky cafe! Staff are always very helpful , reasonably priced food , great range of drinks and a large variety to choose from what else could you want ? Of course the variety of cakes which are all to die for , as I've had the chance to try them all now! Would definitely recommend the home made quiche and soup always delicious and never fail to disappoint. Staff always manage to fit in all 7 of us , they are kind enough to rearrange furniture and a great help. Look forward to our next visit and trying out the prosecco on tap!

No one bothered to acknowledge us walking in and sitting ourselves down. We waited about 10 mins until they came over, which to be honest wasn't great but we'd picked our meals. Went for lunch so one sandwich and two wraps. Drinks were a juice, coffee and a wine/soda. Juice came. 10 mins later, coffee came. 10 mins later, no wine soda. I had to go to them to ask where it was, as they weren't bothering to tell people the soda pump was off?! So had just a wine. Would've been rectified a lot quicker if they'd just been honest rather than take the order knowing id be waiting for over 20 minutes for a drink?! Rude staff, girls behind the bar on their phones. 2 meals came together then another meal about 15 mins later, no apology for the delay or warning. Won't be returning in a hurry. Been here a few times and it's been nice, but it's definitely slipping, the staff don't have any customer service skills, just care about their tips and their mobiles. Also don't get a Coke here, they rip you off with Rola cola and if you're like me, you won't be able to drink that s***, tastes awful, left a full glass there but got charged a Coke price! Awful!

4 of us went for a late breakfast. 1 eggs Benedict, 1 poached egg on toast, 1 veggie breakfast and 1 full English. It took 45 mins from ordering to service. I found this unacceptable given it was not busy at all. No one came to explain why or what the problem was

Great little place for all of your breakfast needs! Visited on a post Christmas service which, while service was a little slower than expected, matched everything we wanted. Reasonably priced with friendly staff.

Great place to go for food! We had four big breakfasts were really nice and a very good price! Service was swift and staff were good too!

Visited today for the first time in a few months , glad to see there has been a huge refurbishment which has done the cafe the world of good. The bar was full of delicious looking homemade cakes when we first walked in which won me over instantly. We took our seats and within seconds were greeted by a very pleasant and smiley waitress presenting us with menus, we ordered our drinks and were given a few minutes to look at the food menu this took longer than we expected as there was such a large variety ! Upon receiving our drinks we were still indecisive of what to order , with a few suggestions from the waitress I decided I would try the halloumi and Cous Cous and and my wife the bacon Brie and cranberry panini, of course with a bowl of chips between us also! Even though the cafe was full of people also eating we didn't wait long for our food the waitress who served us was very helpful and waited on us hand and foot very well taking in to consideration they were short staffed ! After our delicious meals we took two pieces of cake away with us lemon sponge and coffee and walnut. Would definitely recommend this cafe to everyone staff are friendly and helpful , food is scrumptious and the music played makes it such a nice environment ! Brilliant place.

One of my favourite places to visit, great food and a large selection of teas, coffees, wines, spirits, draught beers and ciders.Friendly atmosphere both day and night.

We visited the cafe regularly before the refurbishment but due to work commitments we haven't been able to go back as much. We all met up recently and decided to visit here, as usual the food was delightful and the staff who are very smiley were a great help suggesting meals for us and waiting on us hand and foot. There was 6 of us so it was awkward for us to all fit in at a booth. With the help of the staff we were all able to fit they re arranged the tables for us which was a great help. The food was served quickly as were ours drinks which were also very nicely presented on little saucers. We were all very pleased with the food there was lots to choose from on the menu including halloumi and cous cous, a build your own burger, soup and a sandwich, steak and red onion baguette and a home made quiche with chips or salad. This little cafe is great value for money sometimes you might wait a little longer for the food but its always worth the wait can't recommend enough !! will definitely get back in to a routine of visiting regularly.

Came here not knowing the area very well came across this small cafe as i was coming out of the car park, was very impressed with the service as it was excellent and the food was really nice and well presented, such good value for money as it is so cheap! The waitress and staff were also very polite and helpful!, and i did not have to wait long at all for the food, such a good family friendly place to eat as i had my two twins with me!

I visited this Cafe for lunch recently and was extremely impressed. Our order was taken promptly by the friendly and welcoming waitress. The food arrived in good time and was delicious,as well as being very reasonably priced! The decor and ambiance is lovely, and overall it was a very pleasant place to visit.

After shopping round the village with my son we stopped off here for something to eat, tucked away next to Iceland but a lovely little cafe. The staff were very welcoming and made us feel comfortable tending to us straight away, the music added to the atmosphere and the artwork hanging on the walls was a nice change from other local cafes. Upon looking at the menu there was a large variety to choose from the prices all reasonable too both on the food and drinks menu ! We ordered our drinks first which were served quickly my son getting a Oreo milkshake in a very tall glass topped with squirty cream, very expensive looking ! I got a standard americano served with warm milk on the side In a very dainty jug, it was served with a little biscuit an sugars on the saucer. I was a bit apprehensive of the food as it was cheap. My son got the big breakfast definitely worth the money, lovely quality breakfast with everything you'd expect ! I tried the soup and a sandwich deal also cheap prices and delicious ! The soup was my favourite broccoli and Stilton served with a lovely cheese and pickle sandwich and a warm smile. On our way to pay we noticed the delicious home made cakes ! We took a piece home for my mum a lovely lemon sponge her favourite she was made up! I just can't fault this cafe from the food , service to the staff it was all great would definitely recommend to anyone will be going back to revisit soon !

I found this cafe through the reviews on Trip Advisor. If I had just gone to Formby I would probably of gone in Costa on the Main Street however I am so glad I didn't. This cafe is hidden away down an alley but was popular with locals nevertheless. I loved the variety of artwork on the walls. I had a lovely latte and an average cheese on toast but my husband had a fantastic sausage and egg bap which he raved about. Great to be able to read the newspapers leisurely. The staff were welcoming and efficient. The cakes looked lovely so we will be back.

We called into Café D,Art last week and found it very over-rated. We ordered 2 coffees which we had to wait for especially as there were only 2 other people in the place. We asked to look at the food menu which we found rather expensive so we did,nt bother. The staff were good but the ambience left a lot to be desired.

Haven't been here for a few years, massive changes for the good. Staff friendly (especially with my elderly mum), coffee great, lots of choice on the lunch menu and the cakes are fab. Stayed behind for a cheeky wine outside the back in the garden too! Great to have somewhere other than the norm to go to.
