Lateral By Wylde in Wirral

It was packed when we arrived. Always a good sign. Food was excellent. The atmosphere was great. Tables are tiny.

We had a lovely oat and raspberry cake and tea here and had our dog with us. Staff were very friendly and service was amazing. Dogs are allowed in.

Great relaxed cafe with lots of vegan options on the menu. Great for coffee or brunch.

Fantastic coffee and lovely cakes

Loved Lateral but thought it was called Latitude! Coffee is excellent. As good as NZ Coffee! Food was great,varied not the usual bacon and eggs etc.. only observation is they don't do poached eggs! Needed with avocado! LOL 😆. Will return.

Lovely place for brunch. Stopped off after being in the area. Lovely staff, delish bacon focaccia. Really lovely drinks I had a tea and my husband had the iced biscoff latte which was so yummy!

A fantastic place for a chilled environment with quality food. The pizza night is well worth a visit and my favourite is the Breakfast Brioche

Super cafe with great food Atmosphere is always good. What lets it down is the toilet. The toilet cubical needs a good clean & paint. The silicone around the sink is disgusting. Plenty toilet rolls & soap Even washing the paintwork down would improve the appearance

Lovely little stop. Great that you can take your dogs in as well.

Lovely relaxing place, nice food and friendly staff.

Bustling cafe with quirky menu. Often can't get a table

These guys are always busy, so they certainly don't need another positive review, but I wanted to add one anyway! I've been coming in for a while and the standards never drop. Wonderful coffee, done in their way. The food has always been great, but recently it seems to have stepped up a notch. For any coffee enthusiasts, or Dads who need a constant supply at home, they regularly rotate the roasters they have on the shelves. I bought a bag last time I was in and got a free flat white with it, win win. Keep up the great work team Lateral.

Very hip place. Even has phone charging points.

We had lunch at Lateral today 30/1/24 for the first time, never been before and we were not disappointed! The food was very well presented and delicious, the vibe was relaxed and the place was friendly and bustling. Will definitely return!

Visited this café for the second time yesterday. Had food from the breakfast menu - delicious bacon sandwich in herb infused focaccia and similarly tasty scrambled egg on sourdough bread. Friendly and efficient service. Highly recommended

Lovely toasted cheese sandwich and homemade tomato soup deal for lunch.

Great food well prepared Popped in to grab hot drinks on cold damp day and stayed Enjoyed our surprise visit and will return

Only had coffee but that was great but boy did the food look good rather wish I'd had time to eat!

Had the mushrooms on sourdough, and swapped for the other half of the smoky beans. Food is excellent. Inventive and decent portions. Place is always very clean. Highly recommend. And competition is fierce in West Kirby!

Amazing little place. Food is so delicious and big portions, cakes also.

Lovely food, busy but friendly cafe which allows dogs. Order and pay at counter .

We had coffee so I can't comment on the food. The coffee was good. The service and ambience was perfect. Free WiFi was very useful too

There is lots of choice in West Kirby but Lateral is definitely worth a visit

Not sure what it is trying to be it's welcome and friendly and hip

Good food but the girl with the blonde hair behind the counter is always miserable. Everytime i ask for something. No smiles. And its like an inconvenience. I met 3 other people who said the same. Shame as its a nice place

Comfy, cosy cafe with good cake!

Great coffee selection and very cosy atmosphere. Best spot for speciality coffee lovers.

Visit regularly with our two dogs and never been disappointed

Really great coffee, lovely background music and friendly staff - recommended

Excellent flat white, by far the best coffee available in the area!

Visited yesterday with my sister in law for a cuppa and a bit of lunch. I've been past often but it was my first time going in. Absolutely gorgeous place, friendly atmosphere and lovely small menu. We noted that sometimes, menus can be meat heavy with just one or two veg/vegan options, but this menu seems the other way round and made a refreshing change. Our request to share a lunch was accomodated with ease. We enjoyed avocado on gluten free toast with chilli oil and it was absolutely delicious. The gluten free brownie was absolutely gorgeous too, washed down with a lovely pot of tea. Will definitely be back.

Great coffee and friendly helpful staff.

The food was amazing! The staff were friendly and helpful and the whole place is lovely. Highly recommend!

Cool little cafe serving a brunch style menu with a large range of baked products. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options!

Nice coffee. Staff were friendly enough.

5/5 we had Korean chicken wings Bad buns And chicken katsu fried rice was amazing would recommend Can not understand why this place is not busy Priced well too 🥰

Nice place, but it felt a little cramped and there was a lot of background noise which we struggled with. Service was good and the coffee was tasty.

Food & atmosphere were both nice, don’t usually leave reviews but asked for a swap on my breakfast and the first member of staff looked at me like I was ridiculous and the second just totally dismissed me and said ‘we don’t do that’, felt really silly and wanted to leave but was with my friend. Just think it wouldn’t hurt to be a bit more personable? Absolutely loved Wylde in Heswall so will probably just go there next time

Popped in today for lunch and was blown away with our brunch! The smoked maple beans & avo were out of this world! And the sourdough was yum too. Gorgeous service. Can't wait to return 🩵

Nice quiet place, with great staff

A lovely coffee shop in West Kirby, one of my favourites. The decor has been beautifully done and the food, cakes, and drinks are great. I always love to head to Lateral for lunch, their Kimchi Grilled Cheese is really good!

Great modern café, outstanding food, coffee & cakes - nice vibe

Amazing new menu!!! Loved all the dishes!

Amazing team, great coffee, outstanding food. Also a good place to work when they have the space. Soul of West Kirby.

Attentive and personable staff with a lovely family run vibe that ticks all of the right boxes. The coffee here is to die for!!! My second visit this morning and work depending, I will be coming back, loved it.

Lateral by WYLDE in West Kirby is a delightful independent coffee shop that offers a great selection of coffee and pastries. I particularly enjoyed their almond croissant, which was perfectly flaky and had just the right amount of sweetness. The flat white with latte art was also exceptional and had a nice creamy texture. The ambiance of the coffee shop is cozy and inviting, making it an ideal spot to relax and catch up with friends or work on a project. Overall, Lateral by WYLDE is definitely worth a visit for coffee and pastry lovers alike.

Service was good and has a nice interior. Food was tasty but quite fancy and reasonably expensive. We went for lunch but also sell cakes which look delicious! Nice place after having a family walk! Dog friendly too!

Lovely coffee and pastries. Good friendly atmosphere, pram and dog friendly.

Very nice coffee and some lovely sourdough toast. Been here several times and couldn't get a seat inside. Usually very busy. Prices a little high but all in all a nice place for a coffee.

Such a lovely atmosphere and the staff really went the extra mile. Especially the young girl, sorry I don’t know her name

Great place to catch an early evening coffee

Lovely place and nice staff, I've sadly never eaten there and would love to, has a nice bohemian feel to the place, I use to go alot for the Coffee! Sadly and quite recently the coffee has not tasted as good as it normally does and tastes weak and I love/know my coffee, can wait a long time for a takeaway coffee too, I've not been back for a while, was the only coffee shop on West kirby that made proper coffee ☕

Very unusual little coffee shop Had banana loaf absolutely delicious. And coffee was very smooth just how I like it.I liked that they only do one flavor toastie a day which made it even better as it was also delicious (my friend had that )Definitely recommend .lovey little find

Affordable and tasty breakfasts. I opted for the smoky maple beans, and my partner had the bacon sandwich (on focaccia!). Both came well presented, and the bread in both dishes was soft and fresh. Service was quick, decor was tasteful. Coffee was very good too. Flat white was velvety in texture and perfect temperature. Looked to have good quLity wines on the menu but we didn't have any.

Coffee was excellent, but not a very warm cappucino. My friends Americano was hot. Lovely place. Will return for lunch one day.

Coffee was so good we had two cups!

Place seemed ok nice decor, unfortunately got my order wrong and im not sure one toilet is enough for such a busy cafe.

This place is a regular favourite of mine! The staff are really friendly, and there is a good selection of food and drinks, all served to a high standard! They’re dog friendly, and overall a great bunch!

Really nice little place, the bartender makes a mean cocktail. We didn't eat this time, but have it on good authority that the food is good.

A great coffee and food is Delicious

Will go a long way for a cruffin but joy of joys can find them round the corner at Lateral.

My wife and I had an early dinner here having previously only been in for breakfast. The menu isn't huge but everything we ordered was absolutely fantastic. The food came in a sort of tapas style, in that the starters, sides and mains all came together, which totally suited us as we both like to try everything! With reasonable prices, great taste and beautiful cocktails to top it all off we couldn't be happier. Well recommended.

Lovely little coffee shop that serves coffee, cakes, breakfast lunches and turns into a bar in the evening I believe. WE went for breakfast which was very good. How pretty is the loaded banana bread?! It's dog friendly and a lot of people take their dogs in. They're usually pretty well behaved. There are also three tables outside the front on the pavement which are very popular on a sunny day as one of the few places on the right side of the street for sun. The staff are friendly.

Lovely little café, good selection of food which was reasonably priced 👍🏻 had the cranberry and cheese sour dough toasted sandwich 😋😋 which was delicious. Staff friendly, there was a slight mistake with order but fixed it quickly and with no fuss.

Lovely coffee and cakes, friendly staff

What a cracking little place. Just dropped in after a blustery walk to grab a drink. Very friendly staff and couldn't do enough for us. Settled in with a beer and (as I was told) a great glass of alberino. Decided to get some nibbles and we were then treated to chefs curried chicken spring rolls that he was trialing. Hopefully when you visit they'll be on the menu. We will most definitely be back soon. Maybe for a whole evening if we get the same treatment.

Great selection of small plates. Good mix of flavours, particularly the tenderstem brocoli. Lovely service in a nice lively evening setting. Would definitely visit again.

Very tasty flat white, great texture.

Lovely menu and the wild garlic mushrooms were fantastic. Not so impressed with the latte, but you can't win them all.

Lovely place for coffee and a chat with friends.

Music a bit too loud, friendly staff

Great for a pint or some good food! Jonty the barman is a class guy and is a top cocktail maker

Overpriced and not at all friendly service. Will not return.

Seriously delicious coffee, lovely to have takeaway or to sit in and have with a brunch or cake 👌🏻

Lovely atmosphere, great 'Old Fashioned' and excellent service!

Dissappointed that cash is not accepted

Great for veggy and vegan. Genuine tasty, delicious food. Amazing cocktails (like really good) and Beavertown Gammaray on tap 😍 great service and affordable too. New fav.

Lovely relaxed vibe for a morning coffee. Good coffee and a good selection of cakes/toast/breakfast items

Went today - love Wylde in Heswall - so had high expectations. The coffee was good as always, unfortunately both the gluten free cakes were dry, crumbled when trying to eat them. The decor was disappointing - pictures hung on screws, lampshades dirty, the floor still had sticky residue on that had collected dirt, footprints that hadn’t been cleaned. Two staff were trying a cake / both didn’t wash their hands afterwards nor use hand Sanitizer. Tables where not being cleaned properly - half sprayed and sort of wiped. The other staff kept playing with their masks - no hand sanitising after they had been near their face. No covid track and trace either. Menus where not sanitized I between customers. As you looked into their kitchen area - a cupboard overflowing with bags could be seen, and the white cupboard in the cafe area was dirty and unsightly. Could be good if the management want to address the issues. May go again I. A few weeks to see if there have been any changes.

Well what can I say! My friend brought home the best tasting sourdough I've had in a long time so I had to go and get myself one. I drove from Wallasey to West kirby just for a sourdough from wylde 😂it was worth every penny.. Didn't do any walking round the beautiful spots in West kirby ohh no just drove there for a bread. Not very eco friendly may I add but for this sourdough you'd drive even further, trust me.

Slightly chaotic service. Order at the bar and delivered to table, couldn't see a barcode to record the visit on NHS app. Nice coffee and cakes though.

DRINK: The coffee was very nice. Full flavour and nicely presented in an easy to drink from cup. COVID: Staff all wearing masks and plenty of hand cleaning stations. Shop looked clean. Staff: The staff all seemed helpful and efficient. Atmosphere: Quiet coffee shop with low ambient sound. A great place to come with a friend for a relaxed coffee.

Great coffee, great service cannot wait for sitting inside

Awesome coffee and sweet treats!

Great coffee. One of the best sausage rolls I've ever tasted

Best cwoffeeee on the Wirral. Gr8 vegan options ✌🏽

Great cup of tea and nice cakes

I'd argue this is the best place for coffee in West Kirby. Good selection of baked goods too! Staff are super nice and friendly too!

Great customer service. Lovely coffee and an amazing choice of cakes.

Thoughtfully and tastefully decorated and furnished. Can't wait until it's fully operational. Takeaway soup-delicious...no spoon though 🙄

Coffee is delicious! Milk is the perfect temperature and is both smooth and silky!

Great addition to West Kirby lovely drinks and food

Love Wylde in Heswall but this looks as good, if not better... (Beer on tap & whisky in the future & evening food too 😍) Great focaccia, and does it go without saying the best coffee maybe on the Wirral? Fab cakes too Top guys and a great addition to West Kirbys lovely eateries.

Great coffee, the service was also very friendly. It also looks like it'll be a good place to sit in once restrictions allow! Lots of plugs for working too which will come in handy with so many of us working from home.. Overall, a great addition to the Banks Road!
