Their coffee is really good, I've only tried their flat white and thought it tasted better than most independents. I also just really like how relaxing and tranquil the cafe is, made better by the fact that you can just pick up a book from the shelves and start reading. Makes for a nice Sunday afternoon.

Nestled in the bustling centre of Liverpool, Waterstones offers a welcoming retreat for book lovers of all kinds. The multi-floor shop strikes an ideal balance between the charm of an independent bookstore and the comprehensive selection of a major retailer. The staff are notably knowledgeable and passionate about literature, always ready with personalized recommendations that go beyond bestseller lists. Their curated display tables showcase both commercial favorites and hidden gems, making browsing a journey of discovery. The store's atmosphere invites lingering, with comfortable seating areas and a well-stocked café perfect for sampling your new purchase. The children's section deserves special mention for its thoughtful design and engaging layout that makes reading an adventure for young visitors. What truly sets this Waterstones apart is how it embraces Liverpool's unique culture, with dedicated sections featuring local authors and regional history. Whether you're hunting for a specific title or simply seeking literary inspiration, this bookshop delivers a shopping experience that reminds us why physical bookstores remain irreplaceable in the digital age.

It was a very good bookshop until a few months ago, then for an unknown reason all the departments changed place and some sections were swiped out altogether, like politics that doesn't exist anymore. Really sad.

Couldn't find book I wanted and asked staff at till on ground floor who directed me up stairs and a member of staff up there would help find it only to be told to go back down stairs and ask there so what a waist of time and energy. So just ordered it online much simpler.

Waterstones based in Liverpool has a wide variety of books for everyone. Upstairs it has a cafe that offers food and drinks. They have plenty of offers on books. Worth a visit if you go shopping in Liverpool. They event sell the Mowgli cook books. Which is a new known popular Indian restaurant in Liverpool city centre. I've been told their cuisine is divine. Also across the way from waterstones. I bumped into Paddington Bear. 😃

Despite the bad reviews of old hags complaining about grandad bondage and a bad cafe, everyone here is super nice and the cafe staff are all so friendly the shop workers are all awesome too. I personally think these bad reviews need to get there head out their backside and learn to respect the staff and stop making themselves look foolish

This review is solely a reflection of two female, brunette members of staff in the cafe on. I rarely leave reviews and I am a regular visitor to this lovely book store but on this occasion I felt extremely unwelcome. It was approximately 2 o clock and the cafe had multiple free tables and so when I sat down to write a birthday card I had just purchased downstairs I didn’t think it would be an issue. However, two workers in the cafe, one after the other approached me to ask when I will be purchasing a drink. The first rolled her eyes when I said I would order in a moment. Then the second woman approached me maybe 3 minutes later informing me I had 5 minutes left on the table if I don’t order. I was planning on purchasing my lunch in Waterstones but I left soon after this second interaction as I felt too uncomfortable to stay. If these women had spoke to me in a polite manner I may not be writing this review but they were both rude and unpleasant. I will not be returning anytime soon.

Abit of an essay but I was searching for a very specific sequel political/phycological/new history factual book today and after speaking to a member of staff Downstairs as I had zero clue where/how to navigate it’s where abouts. she searched the system and directed me to where it may be placed upstairs in the political section. After much searching with no luck I then approached the upstairs cash desk (which may I add was very busy but the employee made me and the queue comfortable with inform on the situation ) due to not being able to find the book I was looking to purchase and regardless of the queue a male employee helped me personally by find 1/3 of the specific book I was searching for through the sections of political and then stuck gold in new history.(from the help of his employee serving in the tills) Due to working in retail for 10+ years I was genuinely took back by the communication between staff to ensure the employee on the tillpoint was ok to handle to queue while the male employee helped me search for my specific book. He reassured the queue and the staff member that he would only be a moment and made my day by finding the sequel to a book I’ve been searching for. Honestly beyond any expectation of customer service I’ve ever received! I would highly recommend this store not only for its amazingly helpful staff but also for the sheer choice in store. Thankyou to the staff once again ! They genuinely deserve recognition if my situation is something they encounter frequently as it was handled with ease and an element of polite nature to waiting customers that is not a given in a lot of high street establishments.

Buena comida, pero las propinas están incluidas y no tienes opción en esto. He estado aquí un par de veces, pero hoy pagué con tarjeta y la factura incluía una propina. Quiero decir que normalmente es discrecional, pero no aquí. No como si estuvieras en el centro de la ciudad y deberías tener la opción de dar propina. Pequeño lugar y no exactamente en auge con el servicio. Dijeron que la comida era de calidad y el ambiente también es bueno.
