Community SOUL in Wirral

"Community Soul Cafe radiates warmth and inclusivity. The cozy ambiance, friendly staff, and diverse menu create a welcoming atmosphere. Their commitment to community involvement is admirable, making each visit not just a meal, but a meaningful experience. Whether you're dropping by for a quick bite or to connect with others, this cafe truly embodies

I adore this place. The staff are always lovely and so welcoming and make a point of knowing your name which is really nice. Even when it’s very busy, the staff always appear in good spirits and always very attentive. Very relaxed / chilled atmosphere which is important to me. I don’t like eating in places where it’s hectic and there’s a tonne of people. The tables are spaced out well, so you don’t feel like you’re crammed in like sardines! The food is fab too and very reasonably priced. Always fresh and you get a decent amount too. A few things have been switched up here, from the menu to the layout which just brings a freshness to it. On a random note - I was never a scone person until I’d tried Karen’s. They are divine! She has obviously taught Dale very well as his was lovely too. It’s just a place that I genuinely enjoy and I always look forward to going.

Always a pleasure visiting here. Heart warming, welcoming and relaxing place. Some toys for little ones and a back garden that serves ice cream. The afternoon tea is scrummy too, I was treated to one by a friend. Recommend.

Lovely atmosphere in this community cafe. Great food prepared with panache and a great welcome every time. Coffee is excellent

what a great place with wonderful peaceful ambiance and calm. The staff and customers were smiley and friendly without being intrusive. The coffee was perfect too. I was waiting for a job interview and the atmsophere really calmed me down. Thankyou x

I was there for the day, attending a needlefelting course. Lovely ham and mustard mayo sandwich for lunch. It sounds simple but there's nowhere to hide! The bread was tasty, just enough mustard, a big pile of fresh leaves and crisps - perfect! They have a good range of soft drinks (which isn't the case in a lot of cafes). They also had the tallest Victoria Sponge I have ever seen - it looked delicious! Because I was there all day I had a chance to see just what a friendly place it was - everyone was welcomed and spoken too - we chatted with the other customers. Just a really nice place. Coral is a brilliant tutor as well!

Popped in lovely welcome and found a seat straight away which was good fortune as busy evening . Ordered 2 hot chocolates which were lovely 😊. Quick service with a smile good prices , warm and cosy .

Had lunch at this place on Saturday. It’s right on the roundabout junction Leasowe rd and Wallasey Village. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The menu isn’t very extensive but the food was excellent at a good price. The toastie was excellent and you must try a milkshake as they put cream, marshmallows and pieces of thin chocolate in it , very yummy !! Will certainly return 👍😆

Went this morni g with a friend who goes regular. Ordered coffee and toast. What lovely coffee and thick toast lovely too. Very clean and tidy plenty of room inside and outside in the garden. Very pleasant staff and friendly will deffo be back soon

Went to the cafe last week, young group of people at the counter talking to the two youngish people serving who I may add looked like they had just got up (was pm), waited whilst they talked amongst themselves regarding their weekend. Politely asked if they where waiting to be served, I was starred at and ignored then by the servers who carried on talking. After a while I was served and gruffly spoken too. I took my seat to be served with a coffee some 15 minutes later, I had to return to the counter as the coffee was luke warm. In the end I left as it was obvious that our custom was not wanted. I then went over to Stollies and was greeted warmly and the coffee was stunning! If you are not young or in the group that they obviously like avoid

I've been here several times - it is on my doorstep, which I am delighted about because it is unsurpassed in Wirral. The service is wonderful and friendly. Every time you come here you are greeted warmly by the LOVELY volunteer staff. The food is quite simply divine. The homemade soup is the nicest I've ever had, whatever sort it happens to be. And the cakes!! Oh the cakes. Just try one of the gluten free brownies or the scones. You'll be spoilt for every other cafe on the Wirral! Community Soul deserves every plaudit going. Thank you for providing such a warm and inviting community hub for Wallasey Village.

Great Barista for coffee and a nice omelette Perfect start to the day with nice friendly staff and atmosphere

We visit every Friday for a quick lunch. Our time us limited to 45 minutes the staff are friendly and welcoming. We always have the same lunch it's just a break from our busy work load to forget and feel normal. Just time to chill and refuel and catch up with my dear colleague.

I visited Community Soul this afternoon for a late lunch. From the minute I walked through the door I was struck by the relaxed atmosphere and community feel of the place. The two ladies behind the counter were welcoming and polite. It was a lovely sunny day so I was able to eat in the very pleasant sun trap garden out the back. I had a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich which was delicious and accompanied by an equally delicious side salad, coleslaw and hand cooked crisps. I just couldn't resist so I also had a coffee and a fantastic piece of victoria sponge which was DELICIOUS!!!!! All of this yummy food cost just over £10.00 so the prices are very reasonable also. All in all Community Soul is Superb and you won't be disappointed if you decide to give it a visit 👍🏻

A wonderful place for a coffee and chat or to do a workshop with Coral or for a game of chess with friends. Food is good too. Mainly staffed by amazing volunteers.

Great place to meet friends for a coffee, feels very community based and all staff very happy to chat and seem to be enjoying being there which says a lot.

The café is absolutely lovely, from the decoration to the staff, which is the reason why I put 5 stars. We had a lovely breakfast really. The food is not mind blowing but it's affordable confort food so what do you need more?

Lovely hot drinks and homemade cakes to eat in or takeaway. Best cafe in Wallasey. Toasties and sandwiches delicious and good value

I recently visited for a Saturday lunch, the staff were very pleasant and efficient. The potato and leek soup with the doorstop toast was splendid. Good atmostphere and community feel to the place. Good for vegan choices.

Friend asked us to join him for lunch, a quick coffee and perhaps some food? Besides very nice staff and relaxing atmosphere, the sandwiches and soup were a real treat. Wallasey Village definitely improved since this Cafe opened, have been back twice since last June

Came with my mum (who visits a lots) and was greeted with a lovely smile by one of the waitresses. The food is lovely and fresh, the cakes are always amazing (mum raves about the Blondie) and the hot chocolates are fantastic.

Three of us met on my friend's birthday, the hot chocolate is amazing, we all highly recommend the Blondie cake (a white chocolate Brownie). Staff are all helpful and friendly volunteers. Excellent service, reasonable prices... see you again soon xx

What a friendly place to enjoy a cup of tea. I had been walking the dogs with my daughter and felt a cuppa was needed. Wow what a choice. Our dogs were welcome to join us in the rear courtyard area and were each given a bowl of water without it being asked for.

Primera visita a la cafetería alma comunidad esta semana. Tuve el bollo de té helado que se notaba estaba hecho a mano y muy sabroso. El té de hoja suelta es todo y me sentí realmente buena relación calidad-precio especialmente incluido en el precio de la merienda.

Visité por primera vez con mi novia en una soleada tarde entre semana. Zona de jardín exterior es precioso. La comida era muy razonable, fresca y deliciosa. Gran variedad de tes suelto en oferta. Personal muy amable y atento. Volveremos seguro

Desde su expresamente elegido mezcla de café a la deliciosa comida de la comunidad alma pero muy buen precio es exactamente lo que quieres cuando buscando un café/experiencia de cafetería. No sólo el gran producto son centro neurálgico para la comunidad led eventos y actividades como todo el personal están totalmente involucrados en organizaciones benéficas locales, eventos y proyectos de la comunidad. Tanto si se trata de un club de libro, poca sociedad o artesanías taller buscas aquí en el alma de la comunidad encontrará. Además de esto, el personal no podría ser más acogedor y amable!

Sirven el mejor capuchino, pequeño menú con deliciosos sándwiches, desayunos, comidas, pasteles, galletas al con una sonrisa y muy alto nivel de presentación y de cocina. Ambiente agradable, tranquilo.

Encantador y acogedor café. Jardín bonito y tranquilo en el sol con flores y agradable zona con asientos. . Sándwiches de pan muy fresca ensalada de patatas fritas y con aceitunas. Una gran relación calidad-precio. El personal era servicial y amable

Lovely local coffee shop! Such friendly staff and always so clean and welcoming. The do homemade cakes and stuff too. 10/10.

Called in hoping for a good cup of coffee but got so much more. A community cafe it certainly is . My first visit was on a Tuesday when there was a sing along ! There was no pressure to join in but we were invited and offered a song sheet. Felt so comfortable decided to order some food. There's a small menu of sandwiches and the like but a nice choice. It was very well presented and delicious. The coffee was also really good and it was excellent value for money. Popped in again today and,although no activities, it was just as inviting and the food just as good .

Walking in the door you felt like you had arrived at your friends house :-) people were chatting & a felting workshop was taking place. I was only passing through, but the relaxed atmosphere was inviting. The food looked good & I would recommend anyone to go & check it out... 5 star hygiene gets my vote every time they obviously care about the customer, when in the area will be sure to drop by this sweet little cafe :-)

A busy morning but the staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Lovely and clean and spring cheerfulness with bright daffodils on the tables.

A great community cafe with coffee as lovely as the staff! Thank you Dale, super friendly Chef, for going the extra mile to make my salmon and cream cheese sandwich just how I like it :)The owner Sam was very welcoming and really attentive - came and sat and drank his coffee with us sharing some insights on the area and how God inspired his vision for the cafe. Additionally, Sam's dad also took time to talk to us about his experiences and passion to support the local community. I tried to show the 'expect a miracle' picture that hangs in there but sadly photography is not my forte! Nevertheless, the atmosphere in the cafe really does have a sense of soul and I have no doubt in the miracles that will ignite in the Community Soul cafe in the future. Love and Blessings

Great place to relax and socialise, always warm in atmosphere and degrees C, Tuesdays there's chess and scrabble and a great way to chat and get to know strangers, its like an extended family! Essentials like coffee and cakes are just the best

Lovely, friendly cafe who care about their customers. Coffee and food were great as well as the atmosphere of the place. A gem in Wallasey village.

My partner and I chanced upon this earlier today. We were in the area And fancied a coffee. I searched on TA and this place was #1 and we were only round the corner. So glad we found it, the staff we met were really lovely and welcoming. The cafe is cute and quirky and the food was delicious. We had a black coffee and a white hot chocolate which was amazing, the hemade vegetable soup of the day with some chunky bread and a chorizo, cheese and tomato croissant. Overall a great find and will definitely pop in if in the area again! Plus a community project centre, with homemade real food is a great change from the norm! It gets my vote just for the paper straws!✌️

I love this place. It is the antidote to American owned and cloned coffee bars. It is unsophisticated and clearly didnt cost anything to fit out but that is its charm. The staff are lovely and a coffee and a cake is reasonably priced and taste real. Real is a good word for the whole place actually no chain styling or robotised staff, just real and easy to be comfortable in surroundings. As I said i can go in stressed and come out feeling great.

Lovely place to eatExcellent location Great coffee very clean and tidy.Great place to go after shopping or after work Great for breakfast and lunch Recommended

I was working nearby so called in for a drink & a quick bite to eat. As expected this was faultless. This place is worth a visit if you are in Wallasey.

Lovely down to earth yet smart place with a great ethos and I love the way they do their coffees! I think some who work there are volunteers aswell, its brill. Check out the cute back yarden area. Sells ice cream! <3 Not sure if they have a card machine now. but in the past I did go to the cash point a 5 min walk away. Hope this place stays its great :)

Every time I go, the same lovely friendly atmosphere, warm welcome and excellent food, super coffees and selection of teas,

Love going to community soul, as soon as you go through the door you get a very warm welcome from the staff, ..... Its like walking into a great big hug!!! Tea, sandwiches and the wonderful home cakes are all absolutely delicious! They have a little court yard to the rear which is just lovely in the summer to sit in. The decor inside is lovley too!

Went here for hot chocolate and cake and both were gorgeous. I had the after eight hot chocolate with chocolate brownie and they were simply delicious. Love the relaxed atmosphere and friendly welcome that makes it so special.

As soon as you walk though the door you feel relaxed. Community Soul staff are friendly, welcoming, have time and enjoy chatting to their customers unlike commercial coffee establishments where you are just a source of revenue. The food is excellent especially the delicious soups and cakes which Dale takes great pride in making daily.Community Soul is very child friendly they have high chairs, nappy changing facilities and even have books and toys to amuse children.The décor consists of up-cycled furniture which helps to create a lovely relaxed homely feel to the coffee shop. I have been to Community Soul four times now and look forward to going back again and again.

Lovely drinks hot and cold . Very very friendly and welcoming . Various community activities music, chess, board games . Yummy cakes and sandwiches at extremely reasonable prices . Love the decor :)

Hi we passed this place when were attending a wedding nearby and decided to stop for a bite to eat. It was a lovely, homely café, delicious soup and sandwiches. If I was ever in the area again I would definitely go back. Thanks also for the very pleasant services

Live locally and have been a regular visitor to Community Soul since it opened 3 years ago. It's been great to see it grow and develop and become a real focus within the community. Staff ar volunteers who are aquiring lifelong skills and a real sense of teamwork. Strong Christian ethic underpins everything that is done here ( and the food and drinks are delicious!)

Christian cafe open to all. Lovely little garden that sells ice cream too. Great little place. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff

I was recommended to try this place by my student son as he raved about it. I was less impressed. Staff are nice and the coffee and cake were OK but the décor is a bit annoying. All the furniture is odd, as are the cups and plates and items of bric-a-brac are all over in an attempt to create an illusion of age/shabby-chic but to me it feels artificial and theme-less. Why is it rated so highly by so many??

Lovely local cafe, very nice coffee & cakes for a good price. Would like a little bit more choice in lunch options but everything I've eaten here has been delicious. Best Cafe in the area & nice outside area for coffee alfresco when the weather is good.

On my visit to community Soul I was pleasantly welcomed to a fresh clean n a very warming welcome atmosphere that the volunteers work very hard to deliver I was not sure about the menu choices but I was put on to the chef that listened to my request n came up with an omelette option for me not on the menu this made me feel extra special. It was busy but still a relaxin atmosphere I will definitely come again

Such a really welcoming lovely place, coffee fab and food great. Atmosphere is so warm and welcoming,

A lovely place. Friendly staff and volunteers. Great coffee and cakes, lovely ambience. Always something going on. The staff remember the customers and know most people by name. A great community resource. Support it - PLEASE

Community Soul is a vibrant place to visit, full of friendly people. The drinks and food on offer are extensive and at very reasonable prices as well. Well worth a visit!

Very pleasant staff, nice seating and garden area great cup of coffee and beautiful sandwiches all in all a really pleasant experience.

Lovely weekday lunch for me & the kids before a game of crazy golf at nearby New Brighton.Cafe is welcoming & comfortable. We had a couple of games of chess, toast & butter and cheese & ham toasties. A decent cup of tea, a couple of strawberry milkshakes & a lovely scone to finish. We'll be visiting again. It seems like a lovely initiative to benefit the parish & wider community on a number of levels. What a great idea. Thank you for creating such a welcoming place.

An excellent little cafe that serves delicious, freshly ground coffee and an assortment of home-made food with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

A small café with a huge heart. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The food is freshly prepared, tasty and served with a smile. I have visited here many times whilst in the Village and have never been disappointed

What a lovely relaxing cafe, the assistants were really helpful and pleasant. What a surprise we got when we where taken through the back of the cafe, into a very chick garden seating area , full of home made crafts. Wonderful pleasant and will definitely return

This is a lovely little cafe which serves home made soup and sandwiches. It has a lovely atmosphere and the food is always nice and fresh. Well worth a try

Really good coffee and excellent buttery "doorstep"toast made from good quality bread. The cafe has a nice atmosphere.Staff friendly and overall a real asset to the area.

Love this place! Great place to chill out and make friends. On hotter days, sit outside in the back and enjoy a quiet drink or ice cream. Alone or with friends you are always made welcome.

sandwich was lovely smoked salmon ,and the coffee was lovely ,will be calling in again ,great value for money ,

Very nicely decorated with friendly staff. Good prices and nice choice of snacks. I had my two children and they played nicely with crayons and toys and books which were under the table. So I was able to enjoy my tea. I have also been to the outside area to enjoy an ice cream. Great!

they are all mad very strange people, have a rear area in an ALLEY. Not recommended for hygiene in an alley with bins in near proximity.

Excellent coffee, lovely people, really great place, lucky Wallasey ! Definitely recommend and definitely going again as often as possible !

This was my second visit to Community Soul, just as good as the first time. Such a hidden gem!! Will be going again soon. Coffee and staff where lovely.

It's a very friendly cafe, great staff who are volunteers for the community. The food is simply amazing and you have to visit the ice cream shack out back. This cafe is Wow!!!!Jessica age10

Relaxed, warm and welcoming atmosphere with hearty sandwiches and delicious home made cakes and scones.Friendly staff nothing too much trouble well worth a visit time and time again☕️and the ice cream shack is open again with more lovely flavours

Popped in to "Community Soul" for afternoon coffee. The welcome could not be warmer and the service was so attentive. A real little treasure of a place.

Love the atmosphere. The most perfect latte around. Fresh food and exquisite home made cakes. The best place to have food and drink.

We called in by chance on a busy Saturday morning and it did feel like we had gate crashed a family re-union. Made to feel very welcome; order at the 'bar' and everything brought out for you; just had coffee and teacakes which were very pleasant, and enjoyed the atmosphere. Seating a combination of table chairs, sofas and coffee tables, long benches so can accommodate singles to groups.A constant flux of people were coming in and out, all seemed to know each other and it certainly lived up to its name of community! Very relaxed, very welcoming, will certainly walk down that way again.

Sam Rowan. The man. The myth. The legend. Top coffee shop. Top man. Top barista. A place to meet and be known my name. Oh yes we all know Sams name. The daddy of wallasey village. He is embarking on pastures new soon. Wallasey has lost its chosen son. He has filled us with pleasure and joy. His sheer determination has saved lives...he is Sam. We are Sam. You are Sam.

We love love love this cafe! Amazing coffee, amazing cakes, amazing milkshakes. Really friendly staff and great for the kids too.

This is lovely cafe with great drinks and cakes in a wonderful atmosphere. The cafe is filled with lots of activities in which to enrol. There really must be something for everyone and that's what is making this unique. I think that this is a wonderfully inclusive concept where people can really feel included and involved in the local community. And great cake...

We recently won an 'Afternoon Tea' voucher through a local school so we decided to visit after walking the dog. As we had our dog with us, we sat in the courtyard at the back of the cafe and had our sandwiches (hubby had tuna and I had cheese and chutney - both lovely and fresh), scones with cream and jam and cup of tea. It was all absolutely delicious! The staff and service were spot on too. The young waiter who is currently doing his DOE was a really lovely chatty and very helpful young man. Couldn't fault him. We will most certainly be visiting again and would highly recommend it.

My friend and I paid a visit and cannot wait to return. Upon entering a guy was playing lovely music on his guitar. The food was delicious and great prices. All staff we're very welcoming. Great experience and cannot wait to return

What a treasure! We discovered this little gem by accident. The staff were so friendly and helpful - giving us directions and ferry times as well as superb service! The food we had was excellent and so attractively served. I wish we had a place with this ethos near where I live - the community side of it is such a refreshing thing to experience. I've recommended it it to my friends and will certainly be back. Thanks for making our day special.

My friends and I found this very special cafe quite by chance. We stopped off for coffee before we started a walk, but we're so impressed by it's warmth and hospitality that we stayed for soup and cake. All was delicious, well prepared and well presented. Well done to all concerned. You've got it right. P.S Think your idea of a Community Cafe reaching out to all is a great idea which could and should be copied in other areas. Thanks

Yesterday I paid my first visit to Community Soul, Wallasy Village. After the wonderful welcome, delicious cake and fabulous Latte I will definitely visit again and again.I have recommended to at least two friends and they can't wait to go ! They have so much going on it really is a community.

As self declared coffee expert this takes some beating :) coffees are devine. The Christmas specials were great and Christmas teas also lovely. The atmosphere is just lovely, homemade cakes tasty soups and sandwiches too. All in all a place not to be missed and absolutely number 1 in Wallasey.

I would just like to say how much I valued and enjoyed finding this welcoming little haven today. Genuinely warm, friendly staff who clearly have passion for connecting people in the community. This is exactly what is needed in our often chaotic, hectic lives; a little oasis, calm and inviting, where you instantly feel relaxed and like you've just caught up with old friends again. Thank you. Good luck. And importantly, see you again soon. Peace. Marcus. Ps First ever Tripadvisor!

Great place to relax with friends and enjoy a coffee or snack. The staff are really friendly and appear genuinely interested in you when they talk to you. I will definitely be swapping the main chain coffee shops for this place. Well worth the visit

I love my weekly (sometimes more) trips to community soul. The food is always excellent and really reasonable. Yesterday I had lentil and bacon soup that was delicious. The loyalty card is also a great added extra, with a free coffee every 6 visits. The staff are always really welcoming, it's a lovely environment.

Fantastic place to catch up with friends. I would recommend this place to anyone. Coffee was amazing. I think I will be knocking costa coffee on the head. Thanks guys

This is a lovely café! The staff are so friendly and always give you a very warm welcome. I love the fact that the establishment helps out in the community; it is such a worthwhile place that it just makes you feel good that it even exists in this day and age!! The food and drink is lovely too, especially the cakes!

great coffee served by great people. reasonable prices. all volunteer cafe. i didnt try any food, but i did notice that someone behind me ordered a few of what looked like tuna sandwiches and the presentation was fantastic and im sure they tasted equally good. the only thing i didnt like was being photographed without warning or being asked permission but after they finished they then asked everyone else.

Fantastic coffee & food. Great service. The staff are extremely friendly and cater to your every need, overall a superb place!

If you go here once then you will go again the atmosphere in here is lovely the staff are amazing and there is always something going on it's just a place that's so welcoming Well worth a visit

Brilliant cafe with a really lovely atmosphere, very community based and you feel very welcomed. Sam is a lovely host as are all the volunteers who work there. A great range of drinks and very reasonably priced. Great food as well, my ham and cheese croissant was beaut. Definitely recommend.

Was meeting up with some friends who live nearby and we were running earlyPopped in here for a quick coffee and we didn't regret it!Lovely staff, sat us on a nice quaint table. Decor is modern and fresh.The coffee was superb. Hot milky and full of flavour.A great place

Beautiful service and coffee. A fantastic range and holds the best values of service and community. Highly recommend.

My boyfriend and I have visited the cafe twice now and would recommend to anyone! The atmosphere is brilliant, as is the service. Sam knows everybody on a first name basis, making it a special place to enjoy a coffee or light lunch :).

I've visited Community Soul several times now and I love it! I had a large latte and tried the home made chocolate cake, victoria sponge cake and blondies and they are all delicious! Staff are so friendly and kind too, will definitely keep coming back :-)! Great coffee and in decent sized mugs too! Xx

Normally when you walk in to a coffee shop, You order then sit down and drink pretty simple. This place is not like that at all! whether you are alone or in a group as soon as you walk through the door you become part of the Community soul family... The atmosphere is warm, the volunteers are very welcoming and the coffee is made to perfection, so good Nescafe has never tasted the same since! This coffee shop is definitely getting 5 stars from me although it deserves more!!

Lovely little place, set back from Wallasey village roundabout. We sat in the courtyard in the back, but it's a cozy , personal vibe inside. Staff really engaging and hot chocolate one of the best. Yet to eat here, but will do soon!!

Excellent coffee served in such a lovely atmosphere. What a great place can't believe not been here before. Well done to Sam and his team of volunteers who provide such a wonderful place to drop in for drinks and a bite to eat. Great homemade cakes and pastries delicious coffees and great range of teas. Such a great idea a community cafe:)

Popped in for lunch with my son on a rainy summer afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it. We shared the soup and sandwich - both very tasty and plentiful. Lovely friendly, community feel to the place, very welcoming. Great asset to the local area!

visited for the first time today. Met the two nannies knitting poppies. I did ask if they knitted shreddies (cereal not pants).Quite basic but good quality coffee and a great cream scone. We went to the Hilton for tea a few weeks ago, my son commented how much better it was. They allow you take your own food an elderly lady and her son bought soup from the cafe a couple of doors down. I think this is going to be my regular now, try it....knocks the socks off the chain coffee shops, for a lot less.

Before today, I would have said that you couldn't find good coffee in the UK.. So to finally find a place that takes coffee seriously is a breath of fresh air. Community SOUL had such a warm and welcoming vibe, and the staff were super friendly - looking forward to my next visit, Sam's got a great thing going here!
