LEAF West Kirby in Wirral

I had such a beautiful time working from Leaf in WestKirby! It was cosey and I could be productive! The music, the energy from the staff and the service was on point. I was well looked after- had two coffees and soup of the day! Harry and Poppy really did lift the mood on this wet and windy day. You don’t get service like this in every coffee place. Grateful.

After enjoying an extended family brunch here a couple of weeks ago (and on several occasions in the past) my husband and I visited with our two young children today,again for brunch. There were only a few tables and service was prompt. We were not overly impressed today.When our daughter’s meal arrived it was incorrect.She’d ordered a children’s full English but a vegetarian breakfast arrived so we sent it back and it was quickly rectified.The breakfast was served with smoked bacon.She didn’t like this-it is quite a strong taste for kids.Maybe unsmoked would be better?? My husband and I both ordered home fries with our meals as two weeks ago they were amazing-but regular fries arrived.After sorting out our daughter’s meal we just wanted to eat together so had them anyway. My husband ordered steak and eggs and he wasn’t overly impressed.I had pancakes and they were OK. Not our best visit.

After an very good breakfast a couple of weeks earlier, we returned for another breakfast last week. My husband had the vegetarian breakfast and I had the large breakfast. There were no real major problems but a few minor issues accumulated and the lack of response when brought to the attention of the company became a much bigger issue. Normally reluctant to leave a poor review, I am doing so, as if the company have no interest in acknowledging customer feedback, they are a company that will not learn from mistakes and therefore not prosper. I am sad that the company have ignored my emails, as ignored information concerning minor issues has now lead to a disgruntled customer.

Been a few times for breakfast with our dog and had a great experience. Coffee, food and service was fab. Decor is lovely inside and staff were attentive.

Should be our local but.... we hardly ever go, and each time we give it another chance, it's disappointing. The food can be half decent, depending on the chef's mood I guess. What is just completely baffling is the lack of skill across general management, ensuring the place runs smoothly. The other comments on long waits for drinks, or simply being ignored because staff are "too busy" (usually with each other or their phones) and clearly NO assigned areas for each server makes this place chaotic at best, is always observed and resonates with me. If Leaf want to be a community hub, make sure your locals come in and don't alienate them. Just going in for a beer in this wannabe tearoom is basically frowned upon. Owner and managers need to have a long hard think if they want to run a serious business or just pretend to be one.

Lovely relaxed dinner with family, following a spur of th e moment decision to go out. We liked the good range of options, including some that were different menus for similar looking places. Food was well prepared and very tasty. Chocolate brownie gets a particular mention. The staff were very friendly and efficient.

Restaurant was very quiet, yet it took forever to even order any drinks. Further wait for the drinks, yet 2 staff were stood behind the bar doing nothing instead of bringing drinks over. Even longer wait for food, then when it came the Toast was burnt to a crisp on the eggs Benedict. I told the staff I didn’t want it replacing as I never even got a proper apology for the food. Even when it came to pay the bill at the end there was no apology from the waitress Louise who served us. When I said I also have ordered a French toast can this be cancelled please, Louise was more concerned about stipulating they didn’t have that on the menu it was cinnamon toast which I found very patronising. I would seriously recommend looking at how this place is ran, as the food is known for being good usually but the attitude of the staff today was not good at all. Again I can’t understand why there was two staff behind the bar, then a further two staff running round whilst the other two stood there? It’s like there was no common sense to help the other two and keep things running smoothly.

Food was gorgeous, cake amazing, staff can't fault them lovely atmosphere this is the second time we have been will be going again

Breakfast was heated up food! The eggs both poached and fried were undercooked, pale and horrible. one small piece of bacon warm, one small sausage ok, one under cooked tomato and some soggy warmed up potatoes. Wont go again, was not value for money at all.

Not clean. Crockery dirty. Cutlery dirty. Chicken burger raw. Service time poor. Needs a shake up. Was a treat for mum who'd recently suffered a stroke. Wanted somewhere she didn't need to walk far from car so Leaf is ideal. Pre-booked for 4 people. Looked busy but not packed quite a few empty tables. 4 teas ordered. Tea pots all had dirty lids. My tea cup was tea stained so was swapped. One milk jug was chipped another dirty. Tea spoon also tea stained but didn't need it. Waited a little while for food. 2 burgers (nice), a vegetarian dish (mine and yum) and mum ordered chicken burger. Thank goodness she cut into it as it was raw chicken in the middle. Sent it back and they brought out another and deducted off the bill. Still cost nearly £60 for 3 meals and 4 teas. Very expensive for what it is and place just looked tired and dirty. All in all very disappointing as a treat for my mum. Won't visit again and don't recommend. Staff were lovely and apologetic for the meal issue.

Incredible service from Harry A, Poppy & Dan. Lovely people and restaurant was immaculately presented too Thank you for making our meal enjoyable!

Service Very slow, food barely warm, poor quality and over priced ! We have been several times before each time it’s getting worse!!! Enough is enough no more !!!!

Shout out to Talia – best server ever, super friendly and helpful. Food was very nice as well. Would definitely go back again

1st time visiting Leaf in West Kirby, Beautiful setting, great atmosphere for midday on a Sunday, Brunch was delicious but what really made the visit was the service from Talia, it was effortless,.. one of the friendliest, knowledgeable waitresses we have ever been served by, full of sparkle!!! Thankyou Talia, we will def be back.. and gorgeous chai lattes too made by Billy🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We called in on our way to the beach with our two dogs. We were welcomed with dog beds, treats and water by our waitress Talia, who continued to be attentive to detail throughout our service. Pooches could order ‘doggie sausages’ which put them in a good mood. We chose Steak & Eggs, and a new offer of Leaf Bread & Butter pudding (savoury with cheese, mushrooms and poached eggs). Both were super tasty with a rich mix of flavours - especially the Bread & Butter option as there were hints of apple in the dressing. Coffee was superb and prepped by the barista Amy who was working the busy bar (the fresh orange juice was also fabulous!) We had arrived at 10am and the atmosphere was quiet and welcoming, but after 10/15 mins the place was full. The hustle and bustle just added to the funky vibe. Loved our visit - thanks guys ❤️

Dropped off for a quick catch up with friends, cocktails and snacks were great… margaritas were divine. Can’t wait to go back for brunch

We came here last Friday for lunch as we were in wirral for an event and a friend recommended the venue. Our waitress Talia was great,super friendly and great conversation, will definitely visit again if ever in wirral. Food was really tasty too!

Always enjoy going to Leaf in West Kirby for great food, relaxed atmosphere and good service. Tallia and Billy looked after us very well from lunchtime through to early evening.

We popped in for drinks at the weekend and after waiting 10 minutes for our order the £8.50 Pinot Grigio had clearly been watered down and tasted terrible. Also the place lacks any sort of atmosphere and resembles a dinner hall. I will find it hard to visit again.

Nice place to try after hearing good reviews. Big location and nice booth area to sit with family. Menu was nice and plenty to offer. Had the gluten free Mexican breakfast and it was super spicy! Would ask for less spice next time but still a nice sized portion and lovely iced coffee. Overall nice experience, very relaxed staffing experience and called over staff to gain their attention each time we wanted help.

This is a wonderful local spot for drinks, a light bite or a full meal, with a broad range of drinks and high quality dishes. The staff are friendly and attentive - I meet friends here whenever I am in the area, and have found it to be extremely child- and dog-friendly, with a warm and brilliant atmosphere whether it is a bustling Saturday lunchtime or a quieter weeknight. I would like to give a special mention to Bradley, who was our extremely competent server on a recent Friday evening and made us feel right at home. The staff at Leaf really are exceptional.

Fantastic food - very tasty especially the hoisin bao buns. Friendly and efficient staff with special mention to Harry S, Steph and Harry A. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Food good, service very slow. There appeared to be a number of servers doing very little. 20minutes wait for a coffee which when it eventually arrived was a good cup of coffee.

We went in with our dog, just for some tea and the first thing we were asked was, if we'd like a doggie bed. How welcome we felt sitting by the log burner. First time I'd been in and was really impressed with the surroundings and the service.

Delicious food. Really enjoyed it. Great atmosphere. Steph excellent, and Harry S. supplied beds for the pooches! Fab!

Lovely atmosphere came for some evening food and drinks. Staff were lovely especially Harry A, He was super kind and accommodating. food was PENG thanks leaf <3

We have been here a handful of times in the last six months and will keep returning. It has a lovely relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The food is excellent and caters for those with allergies or an intolerance. There’s a good range and it’s all reasonably priced. The drinks options are great too. All of the staff are super helpful. Bradley is fantastic at keeping everything running front of house.

Very disappointed ordered a cheese burger plain it came with salad and mayonnaise. The waiter said issue with system took the burger away and returned a couple of minutes later with the same burger. The chef scrapped the mayonnaise and cheese off and grilled some fresh cheese but there was still mayonnaise on the side of the burger i didn't eat the burger at all as i really dislike mayonnaise. I paid and left very very poor wouldn't recommend and wouldn't return

Brad was a Wonderful Host. Made us feel so welcome and made sure all our desires were met at the right moments. We Kinda Love him Very much... Have a nice hol mate. Farid,Emmy and Suzie xx

We are first time visitors to West Kirby. Last night my daughter took us to the Leaf. We wanted somewhere that would alllow our dog, Mollie, to join us. We arrived and were immediately show to our seats. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The service was fantastic. Talia arrived with menus and as two of us are Coeliac we find waiting staffs’ knowledge of Gluten Free food almost non-existent. However there is a massive book of allergies provided with the menus and Talia’s own knowledge was excellent. The food itself was really tasty. I had the chicken thighs with bubble and squeak and a honey mustard sauce . Was it good? Put it this way my plate was completely empty as were my wife and daughters. We considered dessert and my daughter and I chose the GF Brownie with clotted cream - this is probably one of the best desserts I’ve had since i was diagnosed coeliac diagnosis, probably even before. A fantastic restaurant, welcoming atmosphere, dog friendly, absolutely flexible and delicious food and superb service ( ask m for Talia ) and a GF Brownie that I can still taste I’ve a feeling we will be visiting West Kirby regularly obviously to visit our daughter but to visit Leaf Thank you Talia for your knowledgeable and friendly help

Dan and Talia were excellent and made us feel so welcome. Service was excellent. Food outstanding and drinks awesome. Thanks for a special Christmas Eve.

Many visits to Leaf. Always good. Lunch/dinner/Sunday lunch. Food generally very good, service is always with a smile.

Fab breakfast and cosy atmosphere 🙂 thank you Brad and all the staff for making the place so homely. All the best

We had a family birthday celebration at Leaf this evening and it was a superb experience. We had let them know it was a birthday meal in advance and they had made the effort to write an individual chalk board on the table. The age range of our party was 13yrs-79yrs, with two dogs as well. Everyone on our table chose from different menus (Roast, Festive platters and regular), the food was amazing and the cocktails were really tasty (made by Dan behind the bar, who also expertly recommended the red wine for the table). The waiting-on staff - Talia, Poppy, Harry, Bradley and Polly - were all so positive and went the extra mile to make our experience really special. The staff seemed to be one big happy family, and made us feel part of it. It was very busy but everyone was so professional and appeared to be really enjoying their work. Thanks guys - we will be back soon (especially for the doggie sausages 😊)

Had the loveliest evening in leaf tonight. Service and food was great. Server Brad couldn’t do enough and stayed on so we could finish all our drinks.

Just had a wonderful breakfast at leaf west kirby this morning 🙂 Louise was exceptional in catering for our dietary needs, constantly making sure we had everything we needed. Can't wait to come back.

Service is amazing especially Talia Harry and Anna so lovely and friendly had such a good night for my friends birthday food also delicious very tasty 😁

great little spot, served by Talia and Harry who were great, really friendly and attentive. thanks guys!

Lovely Breakfast here for my brothers birthday this morning. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food as always was prepared well, and tasted great. Probably my favourite place to eat breakfast on the Wirral. Never been let down.

Excellent service with Bradley and Tahila. We had the Christmas festive meal, shared Festive platter to start, main and shared dessert platter. This was all absolutely delicious and definitely recommend everyone to try this. Left feeling very full and very satisfied!

We have really tried to love this place. This is our 5th or 6th time coming here recently and our last. It is a shambles. The service is SO slow. We have been at different times of day ( even first thing on a Sunday...

I suppose this review is for the benefit of the directors, there are several things that aren’t quite right, but they’re easily fixed. If your sitting in a booth next to the kitchen, firstly the chef doesn’t have to behave as if he’s starring in...

We come here quite a bit for breakfast, I’m not a vegetarian but this time I went for the vegetarian breakfast which consisted of halloumi, sourdough toast, mushrooms, home fries, beans and egg. I didn’t get the tomatoes with mine and only one egg instead...

Disappointed - booked for a family birthday - party of 20. On arrival table had been double booked by “accident” so we all squeezed on to one table for 20 mins until a member of staff drew the short straw and had to ask a...

Food was average at best with the seabass the worst meal. Seabass sauce was way too sweet, with an overpowering tomato ketchup taste, we had to leave it. The chicken pie was dry. The beef was good but vegatables were not cooked enough and stringy....

Will not be returning. We all went for Father’s Day today. There was only 5 adults and 2 kids. It took a staggering 1 hour 45 minutes for our food to come to our table. Our table wasn’t even the worst. The table next to...

Very disappointed. Regular coffee tiny - served in small glass and not hot. Brunch was very disappointing. Shashuka was bland tomato sauce with chickpeas throw in. No flavour. Toast was undercooked and soggy. Service poor. Food arrived with no cutlery - couldn't attract attention of...

Really didn’t know what to make of Leaf! Was it a tea room or a pub? However….. what a place! We had our dog with us and nothing was too much trouble! We opted for Sunday lunch which was amazing! We were told we would...

Just got back from an amazing family meal. My Steak and Ale pie was lovely and it was proper pieces of steak too, not the jibbly bits of meat you often get in a pie. This was all encased in a cracking short crust. The...

We were badly let down by another pub today and, in desperation, we turned up at LEAF. The staff there were brilliant and sorted us out with a room. This was quickly followed with hot drinks. Nothing was too much trouble for the fantastic LEAF...

We waited for ten minutes for someone to take our drinks order, we both ordered a Sunday roast beef meal. 15 mins later it arrived on cold plates with the base of mash completely cold. The Yorkshire puddings were completely overcooked, completely inedible! I wondered...

Leaf west Kirby is such a reliably amazing place to visit. Its atmosphere is so welcoming, with a lovely family friendly vibe during the day that swiftly changes to an upbeat restaurant and cocktail bar with incredible drinks and superb food. Can’t recommend enough

I went for an evening meal last night, with my grandson who is 22. I had the Squid, Stir Fry and Wild Rice. When the meal arrived it was very small, mostly squid on a very small amount of stir fry and wild rice. I...

Booked a table for three online a couple of days ago to have breakfast with my wife and mum. When completing the online booking you are able to request any specific requirements. I requested a booth as my mum is in her mid seventies and...

A group of 14 of us ate here on Christmas Eve, we were sat on the long bench style tables next to the bar which was brilliant for a large group and could probably accommodate up to around 20 people or more! We pre-ordered our...

We’ve been here several times in the past for breakfast and really enjoyed it so we visited late this afternoon for an early dinner for us and our two kids. Despite there being only five or six other tables occupied, we waited more than 45...

Went with kids for a roast on Sunday evening. Food great, drinks great, ambience really lovely, service brilliant. Will certainly be back.

Called without having booked and there was plenty of room. Staff really attentive and police. Started with the spring roles which were really good. We had the pie and the beef. Pie was wholesome and tasty and the beef just fell apart. Great food and...

This is my second return visit, after a couple of business breakfasts here. It has become my new favourite place for a great breakfast, and when I say a great breakfast, I mean it. I came in on my own, and I had a Grand...

Gluten free brunch. Celiac friendly veggie breakfast which was ever so tasty. Didn’t catch the name of our server but she was fully aware of cross contamination, which gave me confidence eating there for the first time. Service attentive but not over intrusive. Lovely first...

Had the pleasure of meeting a client for breakfast at Leaf West Kirby. Let me say neither I or my client left disappointed. I had the Brisket Benedict, which was sublime, and my client Yvonne had Eggs Royale, which she commented was the best she...

Took the three grandkids in for hot chocolate drink and cake. The service was really slow despite it not being busy. They brought two chocolate drinks and after 15 minutes we asked where the third one was? They’d forgotten and it took another 10 minutes....

This was our first time here and I must admit we were pleasantly surprised. The decor & layout is lovely, plenty of space between tables. The music was nice & low so there was no heightened conversations and we could actually speak without shout and...

I would of liked to review the food but we didn’t get any. Booked a table for 10am and was sat outside. After they gave us menus we were forgotten about. We walked out after 25 mins.

We dine at Leaf regularly and never have a bad experience. Once again a great breakfast, efficient and friendly service and nice coffees. Our favourite spot for informal dining in West Kirby. Thank you.

We have visited Leaf on a number of occasions for both breakfast with my very fussy mother and more generally my wife and I have afternoon drinks and cake. What made today’s visit different from every other visit, was a member of staff called Amy....

We stopped in at Leaf after a walk around West Kirby. We only intended to stay for one drink but ended up staying for food. Glad we decided to stay. The sea bass was delicious and my husband really enjoyed the lamp rump. Staff were...

Although Leaf has changed hands absolutely nothing has been done to change the interior. Everything is looking shabby. The cutlery container placed on the table was rusty and dirty inside. Little point in sterilising table etc., and serving the cutlery in a dirty tin. We...

Visited for lunch. Unfortunately we were very disappointed. Table was booked for 1:30 but admittedly some of our party only arrived at 1:45. Firstly, the waitress did not know what the fish of the day was and had to go and find out. She then...

Great service in a trendy and airy setting, friendly staff and a lovely naughty breakfast, cinnamon toast and American pancakes delicious, with a great selection of teas to refresh the pallet, the Chai masala tea and Lemongrass/ginger tea would recommend, very nice.

We have visited a few times and have found the food to always be good as is the service. The setting is great and the option of eating inside or out is a bonus on nice days. Nice 'vibe' and good menu choice.

Visited for lunch today and it will definitely be my last visit. I love Leaf in Liverpool and the food it good at both locations. I'm afraid to say that the service at Leaf West Kirby is consistently poor. On my recent visits I've observed...

Visited at lunch time, there were quite a few outside enjoying the sunshine so we opted to sit inside which was empty! Our orders for drinks was taken quickly and food shortly after. We had one hummus and pepper on toasted sourdough…I did ask for...

Great location & setting but let down unfortunately by a mismatching offer poorly delivered & part time opening hours.

I’ve been to Leaf many times since it opened but I also had my 30th birthday party here in the events space upstairs. We had such a brill night. The two people behind the bar were super, the food was amazing (the vegetable goan 🤌🏻),...

Visited Saturday 12th with my family all our meals were below average - the homemade chips were over cooked and slimy - the bread on the sandwich was dry -with chicken which my son had and couldn’t finish . We waited for our table to...

The staff were inattentive at first, I had to attract their attention to get served and the place was almost empty. Some of the staff look like they were 6th formers on Work Experience. some very timid and untrained. some were helpful. The triple cooked...

We go regularly to leaf in West Kirby but I'm seriously thinking of finding a new place to eat, the food is tasty but never hot enough and regularly cold, I have pointed this out on several occasions but to no avail, please please read...

This is an exceptional place; staff are great and friendly, location is easy to get to, food and drink is amazing. The drink and food menu are excellent with the food tasting stunning. Price is very reasonable for the quality and quantity provided.

Breakfast was Luke warm, but one poached egg completely cold, just come out of fridge , as I presume they cook poached eggs in cling film, put in fridge, then just reheat. The breakfast arrived in less than 10 minutes from ordering, so presume all...

Visited Leaf West Kirby several times, food always of a high standard, large restaurant which is always busy. Staff are really good, really ice atmosphere and surroundings

First, the hood things include: The staff were absolutely great today. We took our dog and they were very kind and attentive with all 3 of us. The decor is rustic, tasteful, ambient and chilled. The outdoor area is a sun trap and part of...

Have been here a few times and been fairly satisfied however yesterday’s lunch was disappointing. The service was quick and efficient but the squid was off so we both chose the lamb and feta spring rolls which were generously sized portions - just right for...

Another fab brekky at Leaf. The food as always is tasty, hot and not too pricey. Staff were friendly and eager to please. The only downside was the service was slow and other s around us who came in later were served first which is...

Came after a long walk for some nibbles and hot chocolate. Ordered a starter and sandwich. Waited 20 mins for drinks and food before I reminded them, staff member said the computer had crashed. Was told we’d get a discount and staff apologetic. After half...

Great little function suite upstairs that I didn't know existed and just right for a surprise birthday party. Although just a small bar off the main room, it was a great set up and great atmosphere and this was certainly helped by the 2 guys...

I have been told by many friends to visit leaf for breakfast, so decided to go with a friend, parking was a bit of an issue, so we had to park down the street and walk up. Got inside and seated pretty quickly the staff...

Just basically disappointing; first thing was the table we were given had a loose top and was see-sawing like a surf board, surely someone must have noticed this before, secondly it took 45 minutes to clear our main course dishes, then we had to ask...

I love Leaf - always an incredibly pleasant place to eat, have a coffee etc. I particularly love West Kirby. Went tonight early as quick opportunity to eat out which we rarely get. Hubby had the lamb rump which was wonderful. I had the hake....
