North Perk Cafe in Sefton

I love this place! I booked a tea party for my birthday. The table was set lovely with China plates, tea cups and saucers. Food was served on plate stands which was a great selection of sandwiches, pastries and cakes. I'm vegetarian, which was catered for and we finished with a scrummy cream tea consisting of scones, butter, jam and cream. Tea and coffee was plentiful and included in the price. We had a really enjoyable time. The staff are great and very attentive and had even put up birthday banners, which I thought was a lovely touch. I love the fact north perk cafe is a social enterprise and part of charity Ykids. Your money is helping disadvantaged children in the local area. There is always a happy, laidback, chatty vibe here. Please check it out, if you haven't already and support your local children. Fantastic job North perk and thank you for making my birthday a happy one x

Last time i wrote a review about this place I couldn’t praise this place enough... but I’m sad to say it’s seriously gone down hill... twice I’ve visited now in last month and they’ve ran out of sausages! (Twice) however when the food came out for the people next to us each person had FOUR sausages on their plate! I couldn’t even get one! Also, a few weeks ago we walked in and the tables were all loaded with plates and Dirty.. it was like no one was working here. The service is shocking! The guys working here look half asleep, very slow and absolutely vacant!! Very disappointing :( place was very smoky too and made my eyes sting. the food we did have tho was ok but bacon burnt. Don’t know what’s happened to this place but needs sorting out before I will come back.

I went along with my friend and my daughter today absolutely wonderful food so fresh and friendly staff will be going again for sure 🥓🥪🍰

Very friendly stuff and tasty vegetarian/vegan breakfasts. I enjoyed everything a lot and then they asked me if I want some more water in my pot. Heartwarming, thanks!

Just fell in the door as we were visiting on business. My colleague had a jacket potato and I had the full breakfast with coffee. Service was great and the food piping hot and excellent. Great value and would pop back.

Went here at lunchtime last week and the service was shocking. I know there are a lot of young people who work there who are trying their best but quite frankly, it was grim. My companion's jacket potato was cold and I had specifically said no coleslaw for her as my companion is lactose intolerant but they did not write this down and sure enough, it came with coleslaw. My own ham toastie was barely toast and all underdone and it was cold. The table was sticky and needed a wipe and there were crumbs all over the chair. I heard another customer complain that the young lad got her coffee order wrong and she was unhappy as she had already waited 15 minutes for it and then they told her they would bring the correct one over but she still was waiting as we left. The management need to shake up the running of the café as it could be as good as it previously was but of late it is shambolic.

Easily the best cafe around it's poached eggs on toast are second to none and it has a friendly atmosphere with an excellent menu choice

Firstly, place is spotless, staff are all pleasant , quality and standard of food is brilliant. To be fair, they make the odd mistake with an advanced order . But on the whole brilliant and probably the best cafe in the strand area.

My boyfriend comes here for his breakfast most mornings, this Saturday he brought me with him... I’m not a huge breakfast fan but this was cooked to perfection and I really enjoyed it! Lovely sausage, bacon, hash brown, even the toast was delicious. Staff helpful and friendly too! Lovely, thank you :)

The coffee is really nice so much so that I am switching getting my coffee from Costa to coming here instead 100 times nicer. I'm not a big fan of red velvet cake but apparently that was very nice too. Would of been 5/5 however the drinks were served to us cold :/

I went there with my friend because we are fan of the TV serie "Friends" and this remind us the central Perk (maybe if you are a fan you can understand what I mean). Anyway the place inside is not like the one on the screen but what a surprise! Amazing service, super lovely the girls there and what about the prize? 5£ for an amazing full English breakfast with a big cup of Americano coffee (my favorite). It was a great breakfast, can't wait for another occasion to meet my friend and come back here again!

1st time beem here.breakfast was loverly 5£ was cheap 6£ with A latte.will be going again.staff very freidly.

Great breakfast And served from very friendly staff.From a group of restaurants who give youngsters a chance in life.

We called in for a coffee after shopping. We were surprised at the cost of things having heard good things about this place. When I questioned the price of a cake the guy said it was cheaper than Costa. It actually wasn't. There were no offers at the time so maybe we should go when there is.

We went in to have some breakfast. We got full breakfast, egg, bacon, black pudding. mushrooms, tomato, beans and sausage as well as a piece of toast and a cup of tea all for £5, amazing value, food, service and lovely staff as well as lean and tidy surroundings. First time I have been but it won't be the last.

This pleasant cafe is in a great location near Bootle Straand. The food was great, particularly delicious cakes

Been into north perk a few times and I’ve never had nothing but high quality food with good service. I own a little tea room around the corner and I also like to try and offer good quality food and service in our local area. The people visiting our small town of Bootle deserve more quality places to eat which will keep them coming back and also promote local business. North perk ticks all the boxes for a nice little place to eat that gives you good value for money, keep up the good work

Been going for a while, never let down. Had sausage and egg on toast it was amazing, also the staff are amazing beautiful people especially a young lad their who was so welcoming Thank you

I love North Perk and have been visiting for many years. The food is always presented well and is excellent value. The cafe is warm and welcoming, easily accessible for wheelchair users as well as parents with prams. The staff are very helpful and always have a ready smile, most are young people just starting out in their first job.

Went in here while eaiting for mot at garage. Must say food was great. Staff very politie and attentive but not intrusive . Found out its a charity run organistion to give youngsters a leg up on the work ladder. Far better than the yts scheme i had as a lad . Its clean tidy and as i said food very tasty. I will return. Good portions too.

Food was not up to scratch today no sausages bacon burnt and only one piece of toast with your breakfast. Chef seemed out of his depth with a full English which was quite surprising as only 2 others in cafe. Waited 30 min for food and 15 min into the wait time then informed no sausage !!! Will not be returning or recommending

Great little coffee shop, lovely breakfasts and the staff are always lovely and friendly. Highly recommended

All the staff here are so lovely and the service is great. Really good food and drinks very affordable - so glad a friend told me about this place!

Best sausage or bacon ons in Bootle. Good coffee and tea aswell so can't ask for much more ! Clean and tidy

Was ok I've had better coffee but the place was nice an staff were friendly and it was clean but as I said coffee could be better

This coffee shop has lovely atmosphere which we visit approx. once a week for coffee and a light snack, the young staff are polite, courteous and very helpful I would highly recommend as they serve good wholesome food.

Soy un cliente nuevo y delicado cuando se trata de un buen café y pasteles! Puedo decir que el norte de ventaja sirven algunos de los mejores pasteles y una bandeja de pastas que he probado jamás! Sus pasteles de aspecto tan bueno como saben y sus flapjack es fantástico! Café delicioso, sándwiches y el personal encantador completo también. En resumen, un lugar fabuloso que debes probar!

Este Café es una delicia, comida fresca y pasteles. El personal es muy amable y servicial. Fuimos en un ajetreado periodo pero el servicio fue rápido y eficiente. Teníamos dos niños pequeños con nosotros y fueron atendidos.

This is a lovely place. I often pop in for toast and a hot drink on my way to work. Lovely staff and very affordable. I have visited for a midweek lunch too with colleagues and had more than enough time to enjoy my food due to the quick, efficient service

Took mum for Cream Tea for her birthday with hubby, a friend, her mum & granddaughter. Birthday banners & balloon awaited us. Food was fabulous, had to take our scones home because we were stuffed. Staff, very attentive, friendly & service was excellent. Was surprised how cheap it was considering what we got to eat. Definitely recommend it & will be going back and taking more friends there too. xx

Clean place Friendly staffQuality foodIts location is next to bootle new strand so its easy to pop in before or after you been shopping.

Afternoon tea here delightful, range of cake,s was amazing. Been before for lunch and love it..nice and modern decor. I can recommend the food. Staff are lovely.

Don't know Bootle well but now have my go-to cafe for meeting friends and colleagues. Good food, great service and excellent value.

Top class coffee and top class sausages . And top class service x x if you r lookin for a nice place for lunch in bootle go to north perk end of .

Went here for a take away lunch, due to being on a course, bit of a wait- but worth while scouse tasted great,good enough service, busy place,

I have been buying my lunch from here 3-4 times a week since it has opened! One of mine and my work colleagues favourites is the pulled pork, we could eat that everyday!

nice place, food good, staff helpful and friendly a great place for a break when shopping at the New Strand.

The North Perk provided us with 100+ packed lunches for our family fun event. The service was outstanding with all the staff going above and beyond to meet our needs. The lunches themselves were beautiful and all the families commented on how much they enjoyed them. In addition to this I also frequently bring both my own children and children whom I work with to visit the north perk as their products and their service is second to none! Keep up the amazing work guys, this place is a gem! Steph

not bad for what it is. coffee okay. lovely sausage butty. cheaper to go to wetherspoons though and cheaper!!seems to be inproving. nice decor. friendly staff. no complaints but seems out of place. need to gind their market.

I come here alot for the Sausage Butty or just coffee and toast and cant fault the place. Prices are reasonable and the staff are fantastic.

Nice and clean but I would write he about it , not too expensive and nice food but some items not available when requested.

I was going to meet my sister at bootle strand and looked on trip advisor somewhere to go for a tea/coffee and I came across marvellous reviews for north perk cafe and it did not disappoint. A lovely POT of HOT tea at a very reasonable price, we also had lovely thick piece of toast each and sat in very pleasant surrounding having a good old natter. The young man that served us was also very nice and efficient we will definitely be regulars we go the strand every other week and normally go to different little cafés and tea shops but this by far the best. See you soon.

Firstly it's about time we had a cafe in Bootle with a bit of class. The food is always fresh and made to order. The staff are caring and nothing is too much trouble for them, each time I have visited I have never been disappointed. Whether your meeting friends or having a business meeting, this is the place to go.

Haven't had a bad visit, great coffee, amazing meals specials extremely good service and all in the name of charity...what more could you ask for?

We have our lunch here every week the four of us ....Ladies ....The food on offer is excellent Shaun the chef and his staff look after us really well,they are so pleasant nothing is too much trouble the dining room is bright and the signage is easy too read.The staff also reserve tables as it gets very busy. Good food reasonably priced and 5* for hygiene.x

Had such s great time at North Perk cafe in Bootle. Great food and a warm welcome from all the staff! Fantastic food and would recommend to come with anyone for a fun environment to enjoy your time.

An iced coffee with salted caramel syrup was just right for a sunny afternoon. Thanks Shaun! And a lemon drizzle cake with just the right zing!

We had afternoon tea today which was really nice and fantastic value, we will definatly be having it again. I work locally and eat here about once a month, often get take outs too. The food is always gorgeous, much better than your average cafe. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic place to go for a snack meal or even a drink and a catch up with friends. The staff are so friendly, they instantly seem like an old friend. The food is home made, fresh and always of high standard, and the cost is very reasonable. The toilets are spotless and the general lay out us very inviting. We come every Saturday, we never have a long wait and always it's a pleasure

We have been coming to North Perk since it opened and we as a family of 4 generations have never been able to fault it! We all have our own personal favourites, Great Granny Syl goes for the poached egg on toast-"perfection" Nana J goes for a bagel, I am obsessed with the Ham and cheese toasties (best ham I've had for years) and the kids always get a huge toasted teacake. We have brought friends from canada, australia and west kirkby to delight in the freshness of North Perk! ALSO- the milkshakes are beautiful!!

"Great food. Great coffee. Great cakes. Great shakes." As it says on the window and this little cafe holds up to all these promises. They should consider adding great service to the decal because the staff are superb too. Also the music they play is the best I've heard from any shop or cafe in England.

Really nice cafe with really nice staff always feels welcoming and amazing food would recommend to people

This is right by Bootle Strand and is an inviting and friendly place to drop in after a busy day shopping. I had a glorious hot choclolate and a large slab of chocolate fudge cake. Went down a treat

My wife and i are regular diners in this wonderful restaurant. The service,food and locale are excellent. We have also been led to believe that this restaurant works with a local childrens charity ( Y KIDS ) . My wife has several medical issues etc and that is not an issue for the staff whose kindest and patience is the best in the world. All in all a million gold star establishment. Sarah and her team are excellent.

This is one of the best cafés I have ever been in.Food is fabulous and freshly made, excellent coffee (and I'm fussy). Staff are warm, friendly and always welcoming. The added bonus is that all profits go to a local children's charity too. If you are in Bootle call in, you won't be disappointed.

Came into North Perk on a business related trip, and have to say its a great little cafe. Friendly welcoming team, good menu and prices fit for everybodys pocket. Has just been awarded young business of the year, the award seems to be well deserved.Will come back if I am in the area

We've driven past North Perk numerous time, and didn't realise it was there!We visited for breakfast. Café is lovely inside and well set out, with table and chairs or couches. We ordered our breakfasts, full English, bacon sandwich and sausage sandwich. Everything is freshly cooked to order, so it is well worth the wait. The food was delicious, and nicely cooked. The coffee would give Costa/Starbucks a run for its money. The staff were all friendly and polite. We will most definitely be back.

Value for money, great food, lovely staff. This is a lovely place to spend your lunch time and it has a great atmosphere. I always enjoy it here!
