Down In Albion in Knowsley

The BEST cakes in Merseyside. The whole menu is great, always a fantastic selection on the cake counter (stuff you won't see anywhere else), and it's all home made and fresh. And it's very dog friendly! What more could you ask for!

We went for the Alice in Wonderland themed afternoon tea, the service was excellent, the quality of the food was excellent and all staff were polite, friendly and helpful.

Super place for delicious cakes. Great service. Had our 3rd visit this month. Very good SPECIALS menu.

Incredible bakes, excellent drinks, staff are really lovely. No problem taking a pram in, got us seated quickly. They are busy for all the right reasons! They also do celebration cakes to order.

I ordered an afternoon tea set and was able to choose from a variety of cakes and sandwiches. The store atmosphere was very cute and pretty, and I was satisfied with the service. However, the cake was so sweet that I couldn't eat much. I think it would have been better if it was a little less sweet.

Thank you so much for a wonderful. afternoon. The afternoon tea was superb.

Had a cake made for my mums 60th. The cake looked and tasted amazing. Everyone at the party was impressed.

One of my favourite places and we had the pleasure of a delicious gender reveal cake from them today. Amazing service, good prices and even better cakes! Xxx

Lovely friendly staff. Awesome cakes.

Lovely place ,awesome food .Isabella very helpful.

A warm welcome, excellent fruit scones and good, strong, freshly brewed coffee, just what you want on a frosty morning. And dog friendly - always a good sign!

Lovely place with very friendly staff. I had the scouse and my husband had a toastie and the food was 10 out of 10 very delicious. Good value for money with a nice relaxed atmosphere and we brought home some cakes which were so yummy (you could not fault the cake range and flavours amazing!) and good portion sizes. Would highly recommend. Hopefully be back soon.

Attended the Albion for my birthday in August for some cake. Wonderful selection, lovely service. Staff have great knowledge about allergies too. They also sell local honey which I think is good to know. Great place for afternoon tea or baby shower. Beautiful inside and out, would Recommend. My kids loved it too. Especially the Victoria sponge. Since our visit, we grabbed some Victoria sponge while we was on our way to see my husbands nan. Later that day she text us saying ‘wow’ that says it all. Absolutely amazing. See you again soon

Lovely staff, lovely service, really enjoyed the food, can't wait to come back and try more cakes!

Amazing for gluten free, lots of choice and very aware of cross contamination, plus delicious cake.

Gem of a cafe in Prescot. Lovely and friendly, great food and amazing selection of cakes including gluten free and vegan which is always a bonus when going as a group. Can't recommend highly enough. Love it.

The variety and quality of cakes is fantastic, plus they do a great cheese and ham toastie !

Beautiful little bakehouse. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was delightful. Even bought a cake for a Christening too.

Lovely cafe with a welcoming atmosphere, the cakes are freshly baked and taste amazing! I have had afternoon teas, lunches and even cakes to take away over the years and lock down too!

We came to celebrate our daughters holy communion with her grandparents and aunt and uncle. The girls went above and beyond for our booking and even put up our decorations to surprise our daughter. Lockdown restrictions where still in place for parties so this really did help make our daughters day special

The afternoon tea was incredible value for money! Had a great time!

Lovely home made cakes. Afternoon tea was delicious 😊

We had afternoon tea the sandwiches very fresh with different fillings . Cakes fresh Unlimited tea & coffee Recommended booking a table

Tables were sticky. A bit expensive

Ordered cupcakes for daughters 18th, made up with them..absolutely gorgeous cupcakes 🧁 everyone lovely and friendly and nice chilled atmosphere

I had lunch here today and thought I would write a review because I enjoyed it so much. I am surprised at some of the other reviews as I received a great service. The girls were well mannered and hard working. The food was hot (even better as it was cold outside) and arrived within minutes of us ordering even though the shop was busy. I chose the scouse which come with a side of red cabbage and a crusty roll. It was well presented and the quality of the scouse was excellent I can honestly say I would return for the same meal again. It is a bit dearer than the other cafe round the corner the scouse was £7 however it does feel more welcoming and I have never been here and not enjoyed my food so I don’t mind paying that bit more for better quality.

Great place for afternoon tea and cakes

Nearly 7 pound for this sandwich

Little gem of a gorgeous little t room. Had breakfast there and bought 60th birthday cake and cup cakes.... Delicious will definitely use again. All the staff are lovely and welcoming. Thankyou once again xx

1st trip to this excellent establishment and I wasn't disappointed. As soon as you step through the door of this bright (through the plentiful windows) and cosy cafe you are greeted by a wonderful smell of 'baking' - what better way to start your day! 👍 The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food was lovely and very well presented. Nice to see T pot for 2!1👏 Will be back!

Lovely little bakehouse cafe with quirky tea sets used to serve your tea and very good cake indeed 😋. Wish my town had places like this! Hoping to come back to Shakespeare North again so would bring my friends here for sure.

Had a lovely afternoon tea this afternoon.The cakes were delicious,well worth the money and very pleasant staff.would recommend

Extremely poor. Cheese on toast on sourbread ordered. It arrived on very cheap white bread and the cheese was invisible. The salad consisted of a few very limp lettuce leaves and nothing else. Coffee and tea was ok but the cheese on toast was abysmal. Would not re visit.

Called in today and was very disappointed, ordered a ham & piccalilli sandwich on artisan bread. What came was ordinary sliced bread you would buy in a supermarket and one very thin (almost transparent) slice of tasteless ham. When I mentioned this to them, I was told they were aware if this as other people complained, plus they hadn’t received a delivery from their bread supplier, they might have told me this all beforehand! Will not be returning which is a shame as the environment is very pleasant.

Made a perfect bespoke cake for our Alice in Wonderland themed wedding. Very tasty too!

Really nice food, lovely staff, excellent music on rotation, highly recommend!

Absolutely love Down In Albion, great ambience, excellent tunes, great selection of drinks and food - it's all about that cake! From dining for two to afternoon tea for a group, the team at DIA deliver fantastic service every time. If you're in the area make sure that you head there for a visit. If you're not in the area, the journey is worth it!

Their cakes are to die for x lovely little cafe ,found by accident .defo b going there again .homemade cakes mmm !! Xx

Superb coffee and friendly staff

Tasty homemade food and amazing cakes. Great service.

Fantastic coffee and fantastic cakes. The staff made us feel really welcome.

Lovely fresh food and plentiful. Staff were really friendly.

Really great food and helpful staff..made sure everything was ok..with everything... well worth a visit. afternoon teas look brilliant..👍

Had the best bowl of Scouse ever. Also cake and pot of tea was devine . Can't wait to go back . Staff very friendly.

Lovely little quaint cake shop, everything is hand made!! The food and service is outstanding, the staff went above and beyond and the owner is just as lovely as can be! Will be making a reappearance there!.

Beautiful afternoon tea for our daughter's first holy communion on Saturday just gone! Nina was amazing with replying to my enquiries and on the day customer service from her and the team was outstanding! 9 adults 1 child and a cheeky 20month old where all well looked after. My daughter was over the moon. So much choice and we was all far to full up to finish all the yummy cakes. Cake boxes where given without even enquiring so we all had plenty to take home too. Very indulgent weekend had. Will be back. Thanks all ❤

I searched high and low for something alittle extra special for my dad on his birthday, being on his own and me so far away...i came across this bakery and thought i'd give it a try. Well i'm so pleased i did! I had a few concerns and Nina was exceptional in not only replying to all my emails but with her courteous manner. Most of all she had the understanding of doing something that meant alot to me. My dad recieved his surprise and absolutely loved it. Many many thanks to all. I would highly recommend.

I ordered some cakes from here. They were delicious, everyone really enjoyed them. Would definitely recommend.

Was introduced to The Albion Bakehouse by a good friend. They have the most amazing cakes I have ever tasted. We had a lovely afternoon tea with all the usual tasty treats baked to perfection . Lovely gluten free options all served by their friendly staff. They bake cakes for special occasions and also until lockdown arrived served the best local breakfast with top notch ingredients. I would thoughly recommend.

Been to Albion Bakehouse a few times and always loved the food and service. Great local business in Prescot.

Regular visits before lockdown and treat boxes during lock down. The standard of baking is excellent. It’s a great bake house.

A big thank you to Nina and staff , today we had individual afternoon tea boxes delivered for 16 people , everyone commented on how fresh and tasty everything was , would thoroughly recommend . Will definitely be using again ,

Nina and her team delivered again! Amazing cake for Freya's 16th birthday tastes as amazing as it looks x

Don't live local in Prescot - but visit for appointments. Wanted some lunch so called in for some sanwiches - cheese and red onion chutney, new york reuben - and some cake. We were piggies and ordered 4 pieces of cake - they all looked tremendous! We had the chocolate guinness cake, fish and chip white chocolate, rocky road and salted caramel. Chocolate guinness cake - one of the nicest things we've ever tasted! Everything tasted fresh and was made on site and had very generous fillings! Returned today again (twice in 48hrs - ooops!) got another 2 Reuben sandwiches to take out and got another 2 rocky road and a slice of creme egg cake for tonight Very friendly and hard working staff. Prices are very reasonable and although it might look tight I saw a mum navigate a buggy to the counter with no issues. Good amount of seating for customers. Will be popping in each time I can! Thank you!

What a perfect little afternoon tea and lovely staff!!

Lovely place soups so different lovely cakes scones die for

Wonderful place in walking distance of where I live. Fresh, well presented food and fabulous cakes. I havent sampled the afternoon tea but it looks great. Was pleased to see that the breakfast meni is available all day now. Lovely, friendly staff who can't be more helpful. A must try.

Great food, lovely atmosphere, great service

I had a good breakfast which I enjoyed

Really nice food, but quite expensive (tenner for a butty and a coffee)

Friendly staff, lovely little bake house. The afternoon tea was great - everything was really fresh and plenty of selection! Really enjoyable and great value for money!

My last visit was really disappointing. Preordered afternoon tea for 3. Two with all the trimmings and fizz and also the vegan afternoon tea. Unfortunately, we did not receive the fizz nor jam and cream for scones despite prepayment and asking several times (we gave up in the end). My daughter was disappointed regarding the vegan options, there wasn't a variety of sandwiches ( cakes were ok).

Visiting from USA. Loved this place last visit. Lunch today was terrible. Very poor service. Soup arrived AFTER sandwich. Door stopper size bread. Arrived for a sandwich at 12:30pm. It was almost 2:00pm by the time we left.

So glad we found this place having moved into the area recently. Really nice atmosphere and the food was lovely and reasonably priced. Desserts were also delicious. Will be coming back again soon.

Just had lunch with 2 friends to introduce them to Down in Albion for the first time. Staff very friendly and helpful. There were quite a few visitors including a large party for afternoon tea. Our drinks came quickly, food took a little while and we had to ask where it was. Saying that the staff quickly rectified the situation and when our food arrived it was very fresh, good quality and tasty. Sourdough bread was lovely so would recommend trying it.

Unexpectedly lovely cafe, definitely worth a visit. Went for Sunday brunch, and the food was delicious, with high quality ingredients served in stylish surroundings. The pancakes were a particular stand out: the best I've had this side of the Atlantic. Family friendly, with efficient and pleasant service. Really recommend.

There vege breakfast is the best. Staff are great.

Visited the bake house today for brunch, eggs benny was lovely. Nice atmosphere.

Nice breakfasts and friendly service

There is one chef there who I happened to spot during a visit and she look really grubby. So much so it put me off ordering anything freshly made.

Food and cakes choice was very good, recommend the scouse with warm bread, we got a pot of tea for 2 was lovely big pot that didn't drip yeh, really enjoyed our visit would go again

Been here before and absolutely loved it, however on our last visit for my mums birthday, the service was incredibly slow not to mention my mum found a WET WIPE in her salad, and it ended up in her mouth before she was traumatised !!! Absolutely revolting, luckily she recognised before she swallowed it. Will never ever be returning here. Only positive was money being knocked off the bill.

Been here several times and always had a good experience. Would recommend to everyone! Lovely staff, lovely food and cakes, lovely clean venue and reasonable prices.

Lovely little place to meet friends and have a bite to eat! I had the eggs benedict and a homemade scone with jam and cream and it was really nice. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. I’d definitely go back again soon.

Excellent food an the most gourges cakes the staff are loverly too

Wonderful food, will keep visiting.

We opened lines of communication to see if we could arrange an event there. Sadly it is wasn't achievable but Nina and the team were amazing with us and the communication was second to none. Honestly I cannot recommend this place enough.

Lovely cakes and locekt staff x

Beautiful place, nice staff. The breakfasts are really nice, not greasy and the homemade soups delicious

Fabulous tasting food, lovely staff and cannot praise them enough with the cakes they have made. Feels like I am in a tea room in the lakes - heavenly

Me and my dad went for the greek night and we loved it! great customer service, great food, and overall! definitely come here again!

Brilliant staff, really well cooked food and generous portions, loved the sausages and the beans were a refreshing change from the heavy mushy tinned veriety. Lovely atmosphere just wish I'd had room for cake!! Maybe on my next visit. :)

I can't thank the Albion Bakehouse enough. They stepped in at the last minute with a cake for my husbands 50th. Most amazing cake I've ever tasted. Highly recommend the Cherry Bakewell Cake. Thanks again. Cheers Jules

Saturday breakfast with the family, The staff were friendly the service was quick, lovely clean room with a homely feel. There were six of us all ordering different choices, everything was cooked to perfection, the children’s portions were just right.

Cool, quirky, lovely food and great staff.

Traditional afternoon tea with friends. Proprietor offered choice of time as we were adult group and venue also does children's parties. Very generous portions.

Had a family get together here on 17/08/2019. I would definitely recommend booking a table here as the food was good the service was good and the place itself Very cosy and welcoming.

Excellent day here having afternoon tea really delightful stagf

Loverly food, nice friendly staff

Having been in the bakehouse several times I was keen to visit the new venue. It’s a bit bohemian and quirky but in a good way. Spotlessly clean and staff welcoming. I ordered the rapide afternoon tea. Sandwich was ham and piccalilli followed by scone with jam and cream and a slice of walnut cake. The scone was a bit dry but the cake was delicious. I had a coffee and if you opt for the more expensive afternoon teas refills are unlimited but the tea has to be prebooked it would have been good to have been offered another refill given the length of time I waited for the food arrived which was considerable as I had drunk the coffee during the wait. Having said that 2 members of staff apologised for my wait and were friendly. Yes I’d go again it’s a good addition to Prescot.

Good coffee, splendid food, nice staff, just needs to open as a little bar of a night and they have cracked it

Lovely local business, with a great atmosphere.

Went in & never got served. So left

Excellent !! Couldnt fault it ☺

I LOVE this gem of a place. The service is friendly - without being over pushy - the coffee is delicious, and the cakes are divine. I'm Coeliac but always manage to find something drool-worthy available for me. This time I had a slice of their Angel Cake to go with my Flaft White Coffee.
