Esposito's Deli in Halton

Absolute beauty of a place been here hundreds of times with my wife and kid, great staff, great cakes, great ice cream, great food, great coffee next to a great park would definitely recommend we've gone here for years now would definitely recommend it if your anywhere near Runcorn

Visit regularly. Love this place. Would recommend to anyone. The handsome man makes amazing lattes. Can't recommend enough

We have been coming to Esposito s in Runcorn for many years now. The food is prepared well. Ian who is part of their team is always very friendly efficient and very helpful. The atmosphere is good and the place itself is clean and tidy. Would highly recommend 👍

We love coming here for our coffee and cake treat.The staff are so friendly and polite and even better, is the fact we can now take our doggies into the cafe. It's so good to have a dog friendly cafe right next to a great walking place. We meet such wonderful people and thier dogs, making it a sociable place to be! Well done Espositos for recognising that dogs bring joy, thank you! 😊

We have been coming here for quite a few years for coffee and bacon muffins. Despite the no dogs signs staff allowed them to the counter and would come round to give dog treats and stroke the dogs, then go back in the kitchen without hand washing. Now the cafe is dog friendly, allowed at a couple of tables. This has already spread to dogs anywhere and yesterday sitting on one of the benches. Coffee was delivered to this woman and still nothing said. So after many years we will be going elsewhere.

Please supply butter with your toast, the toast is lovely but then buttered from a huge tub of cheap spread, I think the prices you charge are higher than most so we deserve to be offered real butter

We drive over a couple of times every week for a brisk walk and then coffee and doorsteps (or sometimes cake) such a friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome, well done to Chloe,Amy & Natt for looking after everything,in our opinion your frothy Latte's are the best in the northwest!!!!

Lovely food and great service. Took 3 year old grandson after a walk in the hill who had one of their ice creams and I had great tasting coffee and tea cake. Short wait but this was because they were so busy and it always is as it’s good!

Really nice café. Clean and tidy. Lovely food and excellent attentive service. Toilets and car park adjacent to Runcorn Hill.

Lovely cafe, nice atmosphere, delicious treats. Excellent friendly service. Clean toilets. The elf trail was brilliant, the children loved it and very generous prizes. Thank you very much, I would definitely recommend.

Lovely place for ice cream and coffee. Good selection of sandwiches too – I like the halloumi one. Lots of outdoor tables too.

I visit weekly with a friend, before our walk. The staff are friendly and Lee, the Manager is exceptional. He ensures the place runs smoothly whilst getting stuck in himself to deliver a great service. He is patient with new staff, which is good to see. He remembers my drink which is a mission: medium, decaf, skinny, sugar free caramel latte! Sandwiches on delicious breads,hot and cold, soup, doorstep toast, cakes and delicious ice creams. Situated in a lovely area for walking around Runcorn Hill. There is a children's playground and lake nearby, as well as tennis courts. Need I say more? Well worth a visit.

Just recently found this great cafe. Delicious vegan options. I have the oat milk latte. It’s delicious. Staff very efficient and friendly. Nice setting. In door and out door seating. Very clean. Very reasonably priced. What’s not to like?

I often go here to meet up with people for coffee and a light bite. It never disappoints. You can also go for a walk in the park next door.

Food here is lovely. There is a wait to be served usually but it's a very popular place. We will definitely be back!

Been here a few times now, took my grandson on Saturday, he enjoyed his "Best ice cream ever", and they don't disappoint on coffee either.

Great little place next to the park and a welcome stop when walking the dog. The coffee is always nice as are the cakes and ice cream (the kids love it). Hot sandwiches and the like are a little pricey but good. The staff are always quick and manage to be friendly even when they are mad busy so worth a visit.

The food is nice a little on the slightly priced side. When it’s cold it’s hard to sit outside. Goon walks here with the dogs and in the dog room at the back is only one table so difficult if people already on. This was our case so sat out in the freezing cold as dogs not allowed in the main cafe. So many people in the area with dogs too.

Pleasant staff but not the usual choice of ice cream. Good location by the park especially for a walk. Was quiet on the day we visited but can get busy after schoo hours in the summer.

Fabulous range of flavours. Love the ice cream here, ideal to walk the dog and end up here for ice cream. My favourite is a toffee one but would definitely recommend visiting here for an ice cream

I called in here at the weekend to shelter from the rain whilst out on a walk. I had a delicious hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream (needed the calories for the walk :-) There was a vast array of freshly made food available and although I didnt sample any today it looked delicious. The staff were chatty and polite, the place was kept clean and the loos smelt clean and fresh. There was a mixture of people in there and it was a lovely relaxed environment. I will definitely be back to sample the food very soon. Highly recommend this place to everyone.

Recently popped in here for a quick break after taking my daughter to the park. Had lovely ice cream that I’d definitely recommend. Worth popping in if you’re local!

Friendly environment, tasty sandwiches and a wide selection of cakes and ice cream. Good to visit after the park.

We have been a few times with my grandchildren for dinner and ice cream and it is really lovely. It's a little expensive for food, but it is worth it.

Always a friendly welcome. Coffee & hot chocolate is great, well made to your taste. Service is prompt even when busy. Food choices caters to most. Ie vegetarian options, gluten free etc.

After a good walk and a wander around the park I love an ice cream from Espositos. The black jack flavour is one of my favourites.

No matter the weather, this place can meet your needs. Gleaming clean, friendly staff and a liad of gorgeous foods.

Great place in the park after the walk there coffee and cake staff welcoming then walk the cake of home

Lovely place and great setting to people watch. Warm welcome. Thank you. Always a pleasure to go Esposito

It was a hot day and the queue for ice cream was ridiculous. However, I had promised my daughter an ice cream as a treat after we had took the dog for a walk.

Visited for the 1st time on a busy Sunday lunch .what a fabulous choice of food And drinks and as a vegetarian spoilt for choice. We will definitely return and recommend. The food was absolutely delicious.

Love taking the little one here, he loves it. Great spot and great in the summer to sit outside with an ice cream the food and drink is always great from here

Good. Also turned music down when asked. I do not wish to write more and find it very irritating when asked to do so.

Today I visited for a coffee and was given 2 to try. I really enjoyed being able to try both, but the Cortado coffee was really good Great service, thank you

Great coffee and ice cream while we were out at the park and having a walk round. It was a lovely mild day and it was busy here as always but staff were helpful, quick and are always smiling. Love coming here rain or shine.

Great stop for a sandwich or coffee always have a few vega/veggie sandwiches on menu that can be toasted and cakes specify which are vegan

Their ice cream is beautiful and so many flavors to choose from. The food is a bit expensive though, but quite nice.

Had lunch twice. Didn't disappoint, food tasty and reasonable priced. Friendly staff. Great place to visit on cold wet days.

I have been several times I took my grandson and the ice cream choice is fantastic great for kids. The coffee is delicious and the food is great and varied. An ideal place to have a nice break

Nice place to pop into for a quick bite to eat.

Had lunch there a few times, nice food and lovely coffees,reasonable prices too.recomend you to try it.

Really good variety of ice cream and tasty food. Friendly staff. The perfect place after walk on the Hill or Heath

Very special in Runcorn. Amazing fresh food and the ice cream is lovely. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Excellent places to walk the dog around the old quarry, the park, lake etc and enjoy a coffee, snacks or ice cream.Place is well run by VERY good helpful staff, always pleasant.Can be a bit noisy during school hols but always a pleasure to visit.

La atención fantástica. Opciones veganas, pan sin gluten y lactosa (el chico que nos atendió fue muy atento con las alergias). Desayuno muy rico y sitio muy bonito. Muy recomendable si visitas Runcorn.

Great place to stop after a bike ride, amazing cuppa, great snacks and cakes, friendly staff and great atmosphere, it’s a great place and a must visit. 🚴‍♀️😀

You won’t be disappointed! The ice cream flavours are amazing, and they change the different flavours often. Staff are really helpful and friendly. Nice clean and tidy but can be busy at times. Everything is reasonable priced.

I visited with my celiac daughter. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. The supervisor looked after her order personally ensuring that her gf bread was baked without cross contamination. Gluten free cakes also available.

Lovely place to go for a catchange up with friends. Not to expensive and they serve nice food. Air con in the summer and heated in the winter.

I love calling in for lunch after a walk around the hills staff are so friendly and helpful food is good and my husband loves there selection of cakes I would recommend this cafe to any one.

Been to Esposito’s today for our usual breakfast bun and coffee. As it’s next to a large park on which there are many attractions during the summer months and today was one of those busy days with rather a long que for service. Despite the que and the number of multi orders being served the staff coped amazingly my wait was only minutes longer than normal and all with same happy smile that greets you everytime we go

Excellent ice cream and service.

Called in after the parkrun a bit away in Phoenix Park. Had visited the one in Widnes but this a bigger, more spacious cafe. Good menu , very appealing. We chose a tea, americano, chocolate brownie, peanut and chocolate oatmeal bar and a focciaca with roasted vegetables (warm), all very tasty and efficient service. It was a hottish day but the aircon made it a little too cold inside (the only criticism), all good value. Will return

Been here a couple of times with my mates. Sandwiches are great and the desserts are fabulous. Great service too. Very handy for families as they cater well for children especially in summertime with ice creams.

I've seen many adverts for Espositos and never knew where it was.

Love this place especially with it being on my favourite park. The choice of food and quality is absolutely gorgeous and the ice cream is amazing. My only negative is the staff quite often look like they don’t want to be there. I felt I was disturbing the young lad on the ice cream counter. Customer service has to be a must or people just won’t come back.

Nice place for a coffee with seating both inside and out so great in the summer. The breakfast offers are very reasonable.

Nice friendly staff, excellent coffee and hot chocolate. Superb ice cream. Small but nice choice of snacks. Nice to visit the park and boating lake and call in for a drink before returning home.

Lovely place for snack or ice cream when taking grandchildren to the park. Reasonable prices and good portions.

Visited the cafe here after a tiring visit at the park with 3 young children . It was very busy but a pleasant atmosphere, the coffee is really good but queues take a long time, the tables were full and no one was cleaning tables that had been stacked with empty dishes and cups in order to make room for people in the queue waiting to sit down , so when I actually got to my seat I had to virtually clear my own table, making my coffee cold once I got chance to drink it

Love coming here after a walk to the park with my baby. Nice environment and the food and hot drinks are lovely.

Brilliant atmosphere food is lovelygood choice ice cream is amazing kid's love the choices fab location easy parking

Really great place to have a snack after a walk around the park and hills. Lovely large reasonably priced coffee and great selection of ice creams at a good price. Easy to recommend this little gem.

Brilliant coffee friendly people! Good place to chill after a long walk in the park and the food is also good

If you want artisan Italian ice cream and pastries, then look no further, the coffee is real Italian style to, shouldn't be reviewing Espositos because it will get too popular

Took a visit to the park with family and 24 month old granddaughter food really nice and a very reasonable price service a little slow.

Lovely place for s snack to eat lovely coffee and a big selection of ice cream with a big park for the kids outside

My wife and I had heard good things about this cafe situated at the top of Highlands Road. We had been shopping in the Shopping City and just fancied a different place to have a drink so we drove up on the way home. The establishment was clean and the staff very nice. They seemed to have a variety of unusual sandwiches and cakes. We had a coffee each and a cake. Cofees were good and the cakes were very very nice. You have a nice view of the Park and the lake while you are eating and drinking and there is a nice area outside to sit if you desire. We will certainly go again and sample some sandwiches next time as they looked amazing. Upon leaving, my wife asked what a certian Ice Cream flavour was and the serving guy asked if she wanted to try it and gave her a little spoon with the Ice Cream on top. I thought this was a nice gesture as it was our first time and first impressions count. On the whole a lovely place to visit to relax after a walk with your dog or like us a few hours shopping!

Called in today to sample the new Toffee Hot Chocolate. I have to say, it's gorgeous! I think this, and the fabulous selection of food on offer, is going to be my favourite until the White chocolate drinks come onto the menu later in the month.

Well attended locally and good for ice cream of the children, coffee cake and sandwiches, car park can get busy in nice weather. Good place to stop if walking round the new paths round Runcorn hill or on the park with the kids.

Great for food when visiting Heath Park with the kids or just for breakfast or lunch. Can get very busy during school holidays and weekends not only for food but the delicious ice cream that the sell. The food is delicious with plenty of choice but is only snacks ( no main meals with chips) but lots of variety from cakes to varying breads with different fillings.

This is a place you must visit when you come to Runcorn Hill and Park! It's a gem of a Deli selling great coffee, homemade sandwiches and cakes and especially the Italian ice cream! So good for all the family! ☺️☕️🎂🍦🍨!

This is a delightful little café hidden away by Heath Park and Runcorn Hill Nature Reserve. Its a great place and the locals must be pleased to have such a fab resource.

Esposito's is a lovely cafe with a range of homemade breakfast/lunch sandwiches (such as rocket, bacon and tomato or goats cheese,beetroot and red onion, on speciality breads) pizzas, cakes (like brownies, shortbread, victoria sponge etc.) and they also sell a large selection of ice creams.

A nice place to relax after a stroll around Runcorn hill. Ideally placed near the playing fields, play area and nature reserve.

Lovely place very clean tidy lovely staff. Good for food & drinks really good. Great staff, dog friendly which is great I always call in after my dog walk. He has water & I have coffee and cake delish. Can't fault it

Me and my girlfriend have visited Espositos on a few occassions and have always been extremely happy with the service, the food and price.

Great little cafe with a good varied menu in a lovely setting. Good parking but can get full quickly If there is a park event on as there is limited spaces.

Wonderful range of snacks / drinks / ice cream. Though small, it is exceptionally clean, very good value and ideally placed for visiting Runcorn Hill or The Heath Park.

Runcorn's little gem, high quality, immaculately clean, friendly staff & a nice end to a good dog walk!

Out for Sunday walk around the park only wanted ice cream, served immediately,plenty of people dining took a quick look at the menu and will definitely return and sample the food another day, highly recommend the orange and chocolate chip ice cream.

Great little cafe, good selection of tasty food, coffee, ice creams. Always busy but has seating outside too. Definitely worth a pit stop when walking up Runcorn Hill, playing tennis or just playing in the park. Parking

Good selection of drinks and Ice Cream but the bread for the sandwiches and the quality of the cakes are not to my liking!

First visit and very impressed all the food looked lovely, but we only had ice creams. Fab choice of ice creams at good prices and even had a choice of sorbets too, perfect after a play in the park and a walk up the hill

There was a great selection of food and drink and all the cakes looked so tasty! The food was absolutely delicious. I had a mars bar milkshake as well which was so yummy. I'll definitely be coming back here

I must qualify for one of the most regular customers! I love the personal service where the staff take the trouble to know my name and find out exactly how I like my coffee. It's not just a Deli, more of an experience, and it's certainly an experience that I have grown to love.

The Ice Cream is great! Especially the Kinder Choclate flavour they have. Very nice, and also roght next to a large park!

Fantastic place to take the kids and dogs for an Ice cream/hot drink , dependant on season, then a walk around the nature reserve and park.

Lovely little cafe, Lovely walks and nature... parks for the kids... I live coming here with my book for a large latte. Bliss

Sandwich and a tasty cake and a large mug of tea in nice surroundings. Staff are very polite and nothing is too much trouble for them. Great selection to choose from.

Went here with my husband for a cup of tea for me and a coffee for him and a toasted sandwich. We then had a ice cream to go they have lots of different flavours to pick from some are unusual.

Great fresh food, great coffee and delicious ice cream ♡ Lovely park, lake and woodland walks nearby. Highly recommend.

Lovely location, children and dog friendly, relaxed atmosphere and lots of choice of food, drinks and ice cream.

Recently visited for the first time for a coffee with my friend, lovely little cafe with great surroundings. Coffee was excellent and even had a leaf design on which was nice, I decided to try the cream tea as I really enjoy a good scone shame you can only have a cup of tea as part of the deal and I don't drink tea so had to pay extra for my coffee, portion size was good but scone was a bit stale for my liking which was a shame but all in all an enjoyable morning

We have been here several times, food always delicious with a good range of deli type sandwiches and various coffees. Can recommend.

I came with a group of 10 and the ice cream was excellent, tea was delicious and the muffins were fresh and tasty. Great service and couldn't fault it.

A new addition to the park area which was not there the last time I visited Runcorn, nice staff clean surroundings and quality food.

The ice cream here is lovely and they also do at least one sorbet (which is great for our dairy allergic toddler). The staff are friendly, the coffee is great and the building is lovely and clean. We love to pop in when we visit the park :)

We live really close to the park and cafe and completely agree that this cafe was needed and was long overdue. However, everytime we've visited the service has been incredibly slow. At first we thought it was teething problems but it's been up and running long enough for this to be sorted now.

Very nice and well kept Cafe, Excellent service and excellent coffee. The food can be a bit pricey but it is worth it as the occasional treat.
