Leaf Tea Shop and Bar in Wirral

Absolutely brilliant. Amazing choice of loose leaf teas, good sized portions of food, great service, couldn't fault it. Will definitely visit again next time we're in the area

Lovely place. Great food, nice shop. Lovely decor

Visited with family at lunchtime today...to celebrate our granddaughters birthday . Beautiful venue...great service and a comprehensive menu for food and drink. Food was delicious and plenty of it. The waitress even brought a slice of cake complete with a candle for an 8 year old to enjoy and remember. Never visited before but can't wait to return. Well done Leaf

We had an early lunch, I went with the Scouse fugured I would try a local delicacy it was delicious.

Lovely venue, friendly team and fabulous food. If there for brunch I recommend the eggs royale.

So sad to see this place go down hill. We went in on a whim this evening (Saturday) and expected it to be busy. It was very very quiet so getting a table for 4 wasn't an issue. When seated we were told that a few dishes were not available. No problem with that Generally but at 5pm I was a little surprised. We waited longer than normal to get a drink order even though it was over half empty but the extra time meant we were ready to order food straight away too. We ordered the mezze sharing starter which was nice. Our daughter ordered one small plate and chunky chips for a main. The rest of the order was a salad, pie and chips and chicken burger. When they arrived we were told the fryer was broken and they would try to bring the missing chips later. I had the pie and they had placed a small amount of chips on the plate but the other chips were missing off the order... sh*t happens I suppose but the chips I received weren't cooked so I guess the chef took a gamble before declaring the fryer was in fact broken and nobody else would receive any fried food. At this point I'm hoping my son's chicken burger wasn't in that fryer too! We live local and weve visited this restaurant a lot over the past few years but I don't think we'll be back any time soon. On top of today's fiasco I noticed the menu is smaller (often the sign of a struggling restaurant but not always) with a lot of the best dishes removed such as the amazing sea bass they used to do. The wine list is also depleted with a much smaller choice and the best red only described as Primitivo being one you can buy from Majestic up the road for £11.99 and they sold for £35... 200% mark up is a little excessive especially as it's not amazing wine either. It's a real shame to leave a review like this for a business local to us and one we've used many times before but I always leave honest reviews so there it is :-(

Great place for uncomplicated brunch. Bright and breezy and good price.

Chicken burger very dry and over cooked . Surroundings very pleasant just let down by the food.

Thank you again Harry for your excellent customer service and friendly smile always lovely to see you. You always look after us

Roast dinner not nice. Soggy roasties, definitely microwaved heated up.

Pretty good food. A bit messy with delivery. Sometimes wrong order to wrong person. No napkins (had to ask for them), no spoons for coffee/tea. All in all, I would definitely consider having lunch there again.

Lovely little place, food and customer service always excellent

Four and a dog for dinner. Massive improvement on the food and service since we last went 12 months ago. Really impressed by the service and food, Well worth going again!!

Great place to eat it’s slightly out of the way to other places to drink. Beer garden is great and a good place for the children to play as well and be safe.

Arrived and shown to our table promptly. A trainee under supervision took our order. We all had the grand English breakfast. The restaurant was quite busy but the order still arrived in good time. I was missing the toast on my breakfast but once I made them aware the toast arrived very quickly. Nice hot breakfasts cooked really well and thoroughly enjoyed by the three of us. Would definitely recommend but booking your table is the best, especially weekends. Our server was Louise!

Stunning open-plan venue with unique features. The best veggie breakfast I have ever had, I was full all day. Only issue was my son's food was delivered 10 minutes after mine and no-one wants to put up with a hungry moaning child. That said the staff apologised. Really could be the best restaurant in Wirral!!!

Superb food excellent friendly service. Comfortable place to eat.

Great amazing place. So relaxed, great staff. 2 people for the larger breakfast was almost £50 with coffee.. Great but expensive.

My friends and I visited today for breakfast. All 3 of us were impressed with the staff and the food. Highly recommended *****

Gorgeous food and plenty of outdoor space too for summer drinks!

We’ve always loved the food here and the location and beer garden but the service today was the second time we’ve had awful service in the last few weeks. I don’t think we’ll be visiting again sadly. Waited at our table for about 15 minutes then when no one took our order we waited at the bar for a further ten. No one made eye contact or acknowledged we were waiting during that time even though they were standing in front of us. When we were served the man was unfriendly and abrupt. We were made to feel like an inconvenience. We saw another group of three leave whilst we were there as they got tired of waiting and another person remarked to us that the server was having a bad day! Such a shame as it has such potential and the food, drinks and venue are really nice.

Upper floor is for private events. The lower bar is large and well stocked. Will use it again if I get the chance.

We sat down last night at 7.15 but waited until 7.40 before anyone came to take our drinks order - and that was after going to a table who only arrived 5 minutes prior before us! Ten minutes later we could see our drinks on the bar but 3 members of staff were standing talking at the bar instead of serving. Food was delivered by a lovely girl who was based at the good pass, but we had to ask for cutlery as none set out. No one asked if we needed another drink or anything, we had to ask the same girl for more drinks. She apologised and said they were 3 staff short that night, but to be fair that’s not our problem. We have had the exact same issue at Leaf before with poor service, and each time say we won’t go again. We really enjoy the food and atmosphere so always give it another go. I think that was the last time, sadly.

We are regulars for weekend breakfast (and sometimes a cheeky weekday one too 😉). Just love coming here. The atmosphere is chilled vibes indoors and outdoors too if you’re lucky enough with the weather to be able to sit in the garden. Our dog is made very welcome and always orders poached eggs, which she tells me are delicious 😂. Lovely staff too. It’s a proper treat to come.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday Roast, will definitely visit again.

Quick service. Food was brilliant, but portions were smaller than expected. Good range of drinks and teas. Accessible for those with mobility problems including wheelchairs.

Lovely food. Good service. Bonus for our family, dogs allowed

I come here whenever I'm in town to meet friends or have an outing with family - it's one of the absolute staples in West Kirby for good food, an excellent tea/drinks selection and a relaxed atmosphere. The staff are truly outstanding, always friendly and attentive - Bradley was our server on a recent Friday evening visit and did a flawless job. I tried the victoria sponge tea latte and enjoyed it so much I had another one when I came the next day!

Very attentive staff Great food

Disappointing goan curry, vegetables mushy and unable to distinguish what they were as not listed on the menu. Poppadoms were greasy. Everything served in a bowl which in all honesty looked unappetising. A shame because on previous visits have been very satisfied with the food.

Nice looking place, but not the best burger I have ever had, and over 1 hour 45 min wait for our food, don't think I will be going back anytime soon...

Certain beverages and food stuffs had ran out , the pricing is well over the top for what you get to eat but quiz on Tuesday is fun .

Lovely food ,very friendly staff very helpful, good atmosphere would definitely go there again

Food was nice but there lack of 'ingredients' for cocktails and staff did not tell you of 'swaps' until the taste was quired.

This is my new favourite place..food fantastic and ambience great..and to top it all..dog friendly...fab.

Excellent food, service, atmosphere.

Service was fantastic, they went that extra mile. Dog friendly too. However several items were not available to eat or drink. The portion size of my burger was very small. Definitely go back.

I had a wonderful experience at Leaf. The food was delicious, the tea truly enjoyable, and the overall atmosphere and staff were exceptional. A perfect blend of flavours and hospitality—I'll definitely be returning for more!

Menu is slightly reserved, could be less formal that could improve the atmosphere

Mum and I went for a late lunch/early dinner. We were seated in one of the comfy booths. The food was delicious, enjoyed the range of teas and the dessert was so good! Brad was very friendly and attentive, lovely service and vibes:)

Really enjoy this place - food is always nice and staff are friendly. Food is a good price but drinks are a little expensive to be fair. Atmosphere is really nice and music is nice and chilled

Went for New Year’s Eve dinner! Lovely atmosphere and vibe with Live music and magician showing some tricks! Ordered loads of nibbles and small plates , food was decent and they have a good variety! Greek salad was really good!

Morning business meeting in upstairs room - ideal for such an event. Excellent coffee.

Took my mum for birthday lunch. We didn't have a booking, but they welcomed us and made her feel special. It's a really big space with lots of different nooks and bits to sit in, all different. Coffee and food was great. We had cheese and onion pie and chips and the Goan veg curry - both were super tasty. I'll definitely go back and will be recommending friends and family try it too.

This is a fantastic place with a great vibe, great food and service.

Attended Leaf 20.01.23 for breakfast. Hadn't booked a table and we were shown to an area which had many families with young children (we were a party of adults only). Drinks took a long time arrive. Food was well presented on arrival and poached eggs were cooked to perfection. Sourdough toast was burnt. Leaf is a very well appointed venue but it felt like I was eating in a children's creche. Screaming children and little ones running round tables. Would not be my choice for morning/early afternoon dining.

Service was fantastic but the food quality did not match the price and drinks were very expensive too.

Wonderful dish of shrimp Linguine and vegetable Goan curry

I feel sad at making a poor rating, staff were really friendly and the food was great, just the fact the service was very slow.

Great service but the food needs to improve.

Didn't eat there, but if everything else is anything to go by, I'm glad we didn't.

Nice food with lots of parking.

Really lovely place, super friendly staff & tasty food. Would defo come back!

Came here as it's closer to home and really enjoyed the brunch in the Liverpool Leaf last month. We liked it better as it was a bit quieter and had less of the "warehouse acoustics." Staff did an excellent job of "managing expectations" (coffee wait: 15 minutes, food: 30, no big deal). Food was very good - eggs Benedict for me, smaller full English for partner). Very clear tipping policy (the staff get it all whether card or cash). Would certainly return.

Vegetarian full English breakfast 10/10!

There machine would not except my card worst place in West kirby they also shut early .

We'd booked for Sunday lunch yesterday and were told it would be a 30/40 minute wait for food but as my son had a train to catch, the staff arranged with the kitchen for our orders to be taken immedatiately and we were served with beautifully cooked breakfast items within a few minutes. The service given at such a busy time by Abby and Lynsey and the kitchen staff was exceptional and very much appreciated and my son was able to catch his train in good time well fed!

We didn’t catch the name of who served us and was in charge of the table, but she was amazing! service was absolutely brilliant for our party of 23. food was out really quickly, tasty and very close together. amazing job, and our niece and nephews loved the kids area, perfect. thank you so much Leaf team

This is a very large venue , that’s been many different restaurants over the years. It’s I’m sure difficult to generate a cozy atmosphere on a early evening Tuesday with so few guests dining, that said the service was attentive and the food was good..

Unfortunately we where put on an awful table tucked into a corner...loads of free tables around ..also we where put right next to a rude couple who where constantly snogging each others faces off .. embarrassing...no cutlery when the food was presented to us so my wife wandered off to sort out the situation..when the table next to us was eventually vacated for the remainder of our meal we had to look at a blue kitchen roll and a bottle of cleaner ...not a particularly pleasent way to spend a Sunday evening.

I didn’t know what raw black pudding tasted like until today. Unsurprisingly it’s not great. Unfortunately when it’s eaten raw it’s quite clear how “past its best” the food is. As we live right next to this place I’ve given this restaurant so many chances since it opened but it always seems like the staff are struggling to cope and the quality of the food is honestly really poor. From day one we’ve repeatedly whole meals refunded at the insistence of embarrassed staff for insanely long wait times and I can’t believe it’s still consistently this poor years on. No attempt to even comp the raw meal I was served and we had to wait for ages to even get the cheque. The initial service we received for drinks was great but the sections are completely understaffed. I’ve worked in management as a chef for over a decade and if raw food is being missed on service then there’s systemic issues in the kitchen and this is the tip of the iceberg. Yum.

Fabulous lunch here with friends this afternoon. I had the stacked thighs which were absolutely delicious, piping hot and melted in your mouth! Friends enjoyed their chicken sandwiches and hubby had the burger! Great choices of food, friendly customer service and overall a fab experience!

Really great atmosphere with great guitarists and friendly staff. Really tasty vegan food such as the loaded hummus, curry and pasta

Went here with family friends and our dog. Food was really nice the service was very good attentive but not too much. The only negative thing was when we left there was no lighting going to the Carpark. Fortunately we gD our phones to use the torch.

Went for a meet up with my son....ordered poached eggs on granary bread.....have to say a bit bland and the eggs....well decency won't allow me to say what they looked like.... Had a flat white which was served in a glass!.... no handle. A hot drink in a glass....won't be going again sadly

What would have been a really lovely meal was spoilt by being cold . Minimal veg. Also, bingo night on a Thursday. In a restaurant!! Very loud! A shame. Lovely venue otherwise

Like this place. Nice atmosphere, good service, nice menu but considering eggs feature heavily on the menu they are always cold!. I've told the management, I've sent back food and told them it's cold but nobody is listening. Such a shame as it's the one thing that is spoiling an otherwise fab place. Listen to your customers. I'm not the only one complaining!

Super good food, quite a bit of a wait due to a baby showever but they did offer free drinks and gave use 50% off out meal.

Such a gorgeous space and the cinnamon toast is an absolute MUST HAVE dish.

Awsome breakfast, friendly helpful staff and dog friendly we will be back

Love every time I come here, food is always so good and have gluten free! The selections are drink and tea are endless.

Great tea and food for the kids. Amazing decor and very friendly staff will be back.

We often go to leaf with family and friends and we were never disappointed. Ambience is very cozy There is outdoor set up for summer and very cozy inside. Staff are friendly and professional.

Gorgeous place. Very good quality produce, you can tell. Really tasty. Lovely scrumptious bakes. Plenty of parking available. Dog friendly too.

Fantastic place with a brilliant atmosphere. Ordered the Mixed Tapas off the Specials menu, absolutely delicious, get loads with it, probably better sharing it with someone tbh.

Went for a breakfast/brunch was lovely. Very attentive staff and great food. All together perfect.

Highly recommended and dog friendly. Wonderful service across the board.

Went for a cup of tea whilst doing some work. Lovely choice of teas. They found me a table with sockets which was great.

Had a late lunch with family. Nice choice of meals. Our group had the steak pie, beef, salt and pepper chicken burger and a children’s sausage and chips. Food was very tasty. The beef just melted in your mouth. We also managed a pudding each which were delicious. Friendly staff and great section for children to play and a small cinema which my granddaughter loved. Highly recommend.

Diabolical service and very disappointing. Waited for menu and asked the bar if we could place an order? We were told someone would be with us, but after waiting for over 10 minutes trying to catch the attention of one of the 4 waitresses walking past our table without any joy, we walked out. I understand they had a large table in but as we arrived the table was leaving.

We were on training here for the day. Gorgeous venue and the food was incredible. Will definitely be back

Poor experience at the West kirkby site yesterday, order came out wrong several times, in the end we just asked them to take it away and we paid for the coffees and left, been going to leaf for years on Bold street and Smithdown road, it has always been a fantastic experience but I was really disappointed with the service yesterday, they apologised for the mistakes but kept bringing out the wrong food.

We had a lovely meal with family who were visiting. The menu was great, lots of variety and choice for everyone. Our little dog had a huge fuss made of him too. We're looking forward to our next visit.

Food was lovely only complaint was we ordered 2 childs meals only one came out the other about 10 mins later which with young children is a no no . And they get a desert with childrens meals only 1 came out again other one 10 mins later wouldnt mind if they were diff but they wernt ??

The salad ordered was basically a bowl of couscous. Which everyone left as it was a just a massive amount of couscous. The staff are lovely but the service was dreadful. Not sure if this is down to a lack of staff or a lack of enthusiasm.

My Daughter took me there for fathers day on her day off from work as she is away on Sunday Meal was excellent staff very polite and gave us a really nice welcome

Great outdoor space but advertised Sunday lunch didn't start till way after 3pm and only 1 choice as the other was cancelled. Enjoyed my choice off main menu though but disappointed about the roast!!

Bossy waiter who seemed put out when I asked him anything. Food was very middle of the road and the drinks menu is super expensive considering.

Great food, fast services, fair price, very happy!

Great food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, Very accommodating of our young child.

We always love to go here. Food is great. Perfect restaurant for all the occasions. Very dog and kid friendly

Excellent place for a coffee. From the Wirral Channel -Youtube

Table and glasses dirty, tub chairs filthy full of dust in corners, need a good hoover. Waited over an hour for 5 breakfasts when the restaurant was half full.

Great place to eat lovely food and staff were lovely..lovely full English breakfast would recommend...

Very overpriced breakfast with a soft drink almost £16 bacon was very fatty and cold mushroom one was cold as was most of the rest of the breakfast left most of it.will definitely not be going back. If you have money to waste come here for breakfast

Love this place always a great atmosphere and food is tasty and very well presented

First time visit with family and the dog. Fantastic food, great hot chocolate. Food was amazing value, piping hot when served great choice and great quality.

Lovely food, massive breakfasts, friendly staff 👍😊 Edit: visited again as a family last night, nice flatbreads and pasta, helpful staff fitted us in even though our son had booked a table at the other restaurant in Liverpool! Trappers Hat on draught always a bonus

The tea was fine, the service was okay. £20 for a sharing platter that was a dinner plate with mostly salad on it and two small pieces of bread. Maybe it's just me? I mean, 3 olives just looked sad, but I guess it might be cost of living.

Nice place but really slow service. Having visited here many times, we have found slow service and unfriendly staff to be a recurring theme. Whilst we have enjoyed some meals, the food is not nice enough to warrant at 45 min wait. When we asked the staff to check on our food, we were told it would be next out but then waited another 15 mins. When it finally came a bowl of soup was missed and then arrived 10 mins after we finished despite telling the waiter we no longer wanted it. Pretty pricey for average food and we didn’t receive any sort of apology from any staff. We have found on several occasions that most of the staff have had bad attitudes. Its a shame because the aesthetics are nice and it has a nice vibe so it does have potential, but it’s quickly ruined by the attitudes and the prices. Dog Friendly. Ok place if you just want a drink and some cake but be prepared to wait. There is a car park.
