Small Amazing place to have a full English breakfast. Staff is very friendly. Food is excellent. Located on the docks few minutes away from the city center.

We enjoyed their English Breakfast very much! The sausage was the highlight of the dish as it was so flavourful. The scone was also tasty. We got a table by the water and enjoyed the fresh air out there. Their coffee was pretty good and the service was nice as well. Overall we really enjoyed our breakfast experience there. Will go back if we get a chance to visit Liverpool again in the future!

Wow fantastic portions, great respect, knowledge and extra effort made for me as I am gluten free and lactose intolerant. Sausages are gluten free, they have really nice gf bread and almond milk for great coffee. Amazing food, service and great breakfast with a view.

We had a lovely breakfast here this morning. The cafe is set in a lovely position over looking the docks. We were greeted at the door by a lovely friendly lady and shown to our table. Good choice of food for breakfast and lunch on the menu. Once arrived, all Food tasted delicious, you could tell quality produce was being used and all was hot and plenty of it. Would not hesitate to to recommend this place to anyone,

Arrived for a lunchtime meal and they were able to accommodate a larger table for us. Friends enjoyed the traditional scouse, and I had a vegetarian breakfast (which I always appreciate when places serve breakfast all day). Only downfall was I had ordered an extra portion of hash browns which did arrive after I'd finished my main meal, think they were forgotten but honest mistakes do happen. Staff were friendly and chatty, very down to earth.

At the end of our visit to this great city, we felt like having salad for dinner. What was presented to us as a Caesar salad was simply inedible. Completely carelessly prepared, partly wilted lettuce leaves, with pieces of chicken that seemed to be ancient. Extremely many hard pieces of bread that no longer seemed fresh, plus a sour, spoiled-tasting cheese sauce... We didn't dare eat any more of it, a bad stomach can quickly ruin your vacation... By the way, the cutlery came in a washed but still dirty ready-meal tin.

Stopped off for breakfast with friends while visiting Liverpool for the day. Staff really friendly & helpful. The full breakfast went down well with my friends. I tried the sausage sandwich which also really good. Portion size was also excellent. Good selection of tea’s & coffees on offer. Prices very reasonable. Would definitely recommend a visit if you are in the area of the Royal Albert Docks.

I had the ploughman's, lovely warm crusty bread and brie. The staff were very friendly.

Went there for breakfast Thursday and Friday and was made welcome and treated very well. Went Saturday for breakfast and it was full, we were treated like trash when I tried to ask if we could wait. 2 seats then became available, we sat down and was “told” we couldn’t sit there as people were waiting. I asked about waiting and was brushed aside again. Shame as it’s left a bad taste after our 2 previous visits.

Cheese and tomatoes panini could have been really good but cheese was totally tasteless - wouldn’t have been any the wiser if it hadn’t had been there, was the type of cheese that would have been described as ‘mild’ And would have been half the price off anything decent. Also was irritating when members of staff darted to the door to ask passers by if they wanted a table.

Ordered the full breakfast, was seated beside where the food was prepared/heated which turned out to be lucky for us as the young girl who was preparing our breakfast dropped a sausage on the floor and picked it up & put it back on the plate. When she took the plates to our table I told her I seen what had happened so she had no choice but to replace the sausage. Also noticed that quite a few times she handled food with her hands which isn't very hygenic. Also no toilet facilities.

Popped in for a traditional fry and I really wished we hadn’t bothered. We were sitting by the cooking area and the girl who was cooking our food dropped a sausage on to the floor and picked it up and put it straight back onto the plate and proceeded to bring the plate to the table. When she was told we had witnessed what happened she said okay and walked back and removed the sausage and cooked another one and reheated the rest of the food in a microwave!. She obviously expected us to eat it and when she was pulled about it she didn’t even apologise. Absolutely disgusting! Avoid! If we had been sitting else where we wouldn’t have witnessed it.

Awful food. We were sat at a table that looked onto the food prep area,every single thing except the chips were put into a plastic jug and then a microwave to be heated up. Staff member swept the floor then returned to reheating food without washing her hands. 2 members of out table ordered goujons and chips which came out undercooked and anaemic. No staff member came near out table to ask how our food was. When we went to pay we brought to their attention the 2 uneaten meals which they wouldn't remove from the bill they would only remove the 2 cokes as a good will gesture. Will not return and encourage management to retrain staff and perhaps put some funding into better food preparation equipment.

The food was average and pretty expensive for what it was. Their kitchen facilities are limited so I get the impression most of it is not prepared on site and is warmed up to serve. The staff were friendly and the service was good. Although when I pointed out that there seemed to be something wrong with the mashed potatoe (which I had left uneaten on the plate), they didn't really seem to care.

When looking at menu outside a lovely girl greeted us and we just couldn't say no and was not disappointed. We ordered side chips and cesar salads, great portion sizes and the coffee was just right. Prices are very reasonable. My only gripe was the elderly gentleman behind the counter coming out and looking grumpy with no smile, sorry just the way it came across with the waitress being so friendly and smiling alot it could put you off coming in or staying. Well done to the waitress.

Breakfast itself was ok, nothing special but nice. The problem is that they already charge about £9 for a "big" breakfast which only comes with 2 sausage/bacon. Then if you want hash brown its £2 extra, as is the black pudding. Two ingredients which I would say are part of a standard big breakfast anyway, especially at that price. Then the fact I received 2 soggy hash browns and only 1 slice of black pudding for £4 extra on top is a joke. Surely hash brown is standard on a full English and fair enough black pudding is a bit more specialist but for £2 you're really just gonna give me 1 little slice... taking the mickey to be quite frank.

Absolutely appauling, both staff and manager were unnecessarily rude after we ordered two hot chocolates and a tap water, as my friend wasn’t feeling like having anything. Apparently we HAD to order one of their extortionately priced drinks to be allowed to stay in the restuarant, so we had no option but to leave to which the manager replied ‘its probably for the best’.

As part of our trip to Liverpool from Boston, my daughter found this place to try though no one greeted us. We did accidentally come from the back entrance without knowing there was a main entrance so we waited to see if anyone would come over and greet us after we asked if we can seat ourselves. After about 10 minutes we went to the bar to place the order, we weren't told we would be served or if we had to order at the counter. I got the chicken bacon wrap and my daughter order the sweet chili seitian wrap with the vegan oreo sundae. When our food arrived my daughter didn't receive the right order, instead she got a vegan burrito wrap that she didn't like. However, we didn't say anything because we didn't want to bother as we already waited a bit. The sundae wasn't her favorite either but she said it was better than the wrap. I am usually not one to complain since I understand how food service can be as my daughter is a waitress, but this was too unacceptable to be go unsaid.
