We had the American breakfast and breakfast wrap, both were very nice and filling. The prices were decent for what we had and the coffee was excellent. Staff were friendly.

We bought chips from an outside vendor and wanted some coffees and cake to go with it, we were sensible and sat on the outdoor seating because we know we can’t take other food into somewhere else, my partner was about to go in to get two drinks for us. When a staff member, I think the owner, who was sat outside snapped at us and said it was customers only and we couldn’t sit there… moral of the story we left and went somewhere else with a much better attitude and they lost out on profit.

Called here on Monday after a night at Liverpool wish we hadn’t bothered worst service I’ve ever had food was awful and service none existent! £22 and 40 minutes for a mediocre sausage and egg sandwich, sausages only just cooked cheap spread on the tasteless white bread! One croissant, a cheese and onion toasty, cup of tea, and a cold coffee which was meant to have caramel in but didn’t even after I asked for it! Staff attitude poor when I asked why I was told 30 minutes still waiting after 40 and to then be served the vile sandwich. Highly disappointed to say the least I’ve had better slices of bread and butter. We won’t return that’s for sure. Overpriced poor quality food served when they can be bothered to get around to it even when it’s not overly busy. Save you money and go elsewhere if I’d have read some of the reviews on here before going I would have chosen some else!

Very low quality produce at extortionate prices. £8.80 for a sandwich and a hot drink. Not on when you can get better for less close by. A waste of my hard earned money. Really annoying in these times.

Sadly not the best experience, although the food was tasty. When ordering our food we were informed that it would be around 30 minutes wait for the food. This was OK as we had time before having to be somewhere else. Sadly after 40 minutes we had to ask if the food was coming. We were informed it would possibly be another 10 minutes. It arrived nearly an hour after ordering. The service was not the best and I think some training would be beneficial to the young staff team, especially after seeing one of the waiting staff brushing her hair behind the counter.

Visited on Sunday for a coffee and croissant. Excellent hot and tasty coffee and nice fresh croissant. Staff very friendly and helpful. Decided on the strength of this to have brunch on Monday. Mistake. Coffee was tepid and not particularly tasty. Staff (all different) were off hand. Especially the manager (?) who was strutting around very full of himself, but could only manage a desultory apology when I asked (not unreasonably I think) for fresh cutlery that didn’t have dried egg on it. And I had to fetch my own from the basket, although this may actually have been a blessing as I could select the best of the bunch. On the plus side the poached eggs were good (fried unavailable) and the bacon tasty. The sausages and tomato less so (very high core to tomato ratio). One return visit too many - unlike Arnold I won’t be back.

My family and I popped in for a drink at 3.30 - the staff were too busy chatting and left us waiting to be served. We seemed like an inconvenience but they took our order and didn’t tell us they were closing soon. The girl on the til proceeded to top up her lip gloss whilst talking to us which was unprofessional and concerning from a hygiene perspective. Drinks came in paper cups - when I asked why the girl told me they were closing soon and that the dishwasher was off. No baby change facilities, strong smell of grease throughout - should have left from first impression!

We have been here numerous times when in Liverpool and have never really had a bad breakfast. Went in 13th Jan 24 and had a full breakfast and my wife had Avocado and bacon which she enjoyed. My breakfast was lukewarm and I couldn’t eat half of it. Took it back and girl said sorry. Nothing more! If she had knocked some money off I’d have been happy or another cup of coffee, but nothing. £10.95 for a hot breakfast is pushing it but lukewarm, I don’t think is acceptable.

Visit this coffee shop twice during our little visit to Liverpool and we would 100% visit again. we wanted to try a coffee shop that wasn't pret, Starbucks or costa and came across this shop. The first time we sat outside and ordered iced coffees and milkshakes. The second time we got ice coffees again and they freshly cooked us some Croissants as we didn't see any displayed. All staff was so lovely and sweet and very afforable. PLEASE VISIT if you are ever in Liverpool!

Mi novio y yo visitamos después de una hermosa noche en Liverpool y no nos impresionó. El café no estaba lleno y nos dijeron que la comida tardaría entre 20 y 30 minutos (lo cual estaba bien). La comida terminó tomando 50 minutos y llegó fría con huevos escalfados en lugar de revueltos que pedimos. Los huevos escalfados sabían puramente a vinagre y la camarera que trabajaba en la máquina de café tenía el pelo suelto, que estaba tocando constantemente. En general, fue una mala experiencia.

Paré aquí para desayunar mientras esperaba para entrar en un museo cercano. Recibimos menús recubiertos de plástico y preguntamos si podíamos sentarnos afuera. Nos decidimos por huevos Benedict con tocino, que era una nueva variante para mí. Pedimos que el tocino esté crujiente. Los cafés llegaron en vasos desechables y la comida poco después. Fue el mejor Huevos Benedict que he probado en un tiempo. El tocino era del tipo americano de tiras finas, pero estaba cocinado tal como lo queríamos y ¡había toneladas!¡Recomiende este restaurante si quiere desayunar! Buenos arreglos COVID.

A day in Liverpool isnt a proper visit without seeing the iconic Albert Dock. We were walking along when we decided to stop at Rubens during lunch hours on a very busy Saturday, preferably for a hot drink to get us out of the cold showers. When we sat down and saw hot food on others tables and cakes by the till- we gave in to temptation. Lunch was reasonably priced and filling, all freshly cooked while waiting. The cake was expensive but moreish. You must go here when in Liverpool! Yum yum

Lovely spot on the dockside for coffee and lots of space inside. However if its super busy there will be quite a wait for food (especially hot food) as each order is prepared by the cook in order of being ordered so if there are several customers ahead of you ..... then your coffee will have been drunk before the food arrives ...... the food service in many ways makes it a victim of its own success.

We were in Liverpool for the day and arriving at the Albert Docks area at lunchtime chose Rubens. What we had not appreciated in advance was the Docks and cafes were crowded because of the World Netball championship that was taking place in the City. Staff therefore were under pressure, but amazingly cheerful and efficient and, having found a table, we were happy to accept the thirty minute advised waiting time for our meal. In fact the food and drinks appeared much quicker than that, the burgers were excellent and the chat and repartee with other diners made for a memorable experience.

Not sure whether Rubens is part of a chain / franchise but it won us over with its varied, imaginative breakfast menu, wonderful location overlooking Albert Dock and lightning fast service. My three friends were highly complimentary about their filled croissants etc. The only reason I didn't give Rubens five stars was down to my full English fry up. The chef was competing against my wife's Awesome Eight home cooked version and the watery yolks and processed sausages didn't quite cut it.

There was no sign on the door so we didn’t realise it was about to close & we wanted to enjoy the outlook in the warm. Would have happily gone elsewhere if we’d been told. Not a nice atmosphere!

New location - superb coffees as usual - lovely staff and great bites. So much better than the previous outlet. Fresh modern and so much better than the previous place. Well done on the move

My wife and I visited this establishment today, and were left very underwhelmed by the whole experience. We ordered scouse and a cup of tea for her and a bacon sandwich and large hot chocolate for me. After 35 minutes we had received nothing and had had no explanation of why. Eventually our drinks arrived. My hot chocolate was not the large size I had asked for and my wife's tea came in a cup that was clearly dirty. She had to go back to the counter to ask for a clean cup. Eventually the food arrived about 45 minutes after we ordered. The waitress to her credit did apologise and offer an extra drink which I declined simply because I wanted to eat my sandwich and leave. My bacon sandwich was actually very nice and reasonable value, but my wife's portion of scouse was rather small and served in what looked like a sugar basin. Considering that it cost £7.95, it seems the spirit of Christmas was not running through the chef's veins. It did not help matters that the scouse itself was only lukewarm. Had it been sitting waiting to be served for some time? Other customers that were there at the same time were equally unimpressed by the service and some left without finishing their meals. We will certainly not be returning to Rubens Coffee Shop any time soon.

Popped in Rubens as it was getting cold outside for a coffee and cake . Thought it was a bit grubby and staff didn’t know how to operate the till . Coffee and cake was fine though probably wouldn’t visit again

Called in for lunch time coffee and snack. Superb coffee and excellent choice of snacks. I had the Double Dutch pancake prepared by a New Zealand cook, Hamish, thus the title. It was top class, but be hungry !

Stopped here for a quick snack for my 11 year old son who saw the pancakes advertised and wanted to go in! Very fast service and pleasant staff! My son had the pancake stack with maple syrup which he thoroughly enjoyed! Really good prices too! They gave him unlimited milk for free! Wouldn’t hesitate to call in again!

We just stopped in before a rainstorm and had coffee while we waited out the storm inside. Excellent and very fast service. They have a nice view of Albert Dock and you can watch the Seagulls fight for table scraps on the dock.

Pretty much what my header says. Waited 35 minutes for 2 hot chocolates. Told them we were sat outside. After 39 minutes went in and asked where they were and the lass behind the counter said she'd just thrown them away as she thought we'd gone. We were sat directly outside the door. They didn't even attempt to bring them out. Couple next to us said they'd waited 30 minutes for 2 coffees and were currently at 30 minutes waiting for 2 large breakfasts. They got up and left shortly after. Waiter came out 5/6 minutes later with their breakfasts and I had to explain they'd left because of the wait. It was really that busy in there.

Friendly welcome, invited to choose what we wanted for breakfast and order. I had double pancake with bacon and more. My other half had an omelette. All good. Glad we chose here rather than one of the chain offerings...

We dropped in to this lovely café on our way to take the ferry cross the Mersey and it was very clean and tidy but they were quite expensive.

My friend and I had a first time visit to Liverpool (incredible city!), on the way into the city my friend had bought a sandwich and I wanted to eat when in Liverpool itself. After walking through the park and a quick look around to orientate ourselves, we headed to Albert Docks and that's where we found Rubens..

We had breakfast here two times during our weekend in Liverpool. All six of us really enjoyed this place. Great food and very friendly staff! Also great location.

When a person walks into an establishment that offers a full english, he expects a full english. Hash browns missing are apparently an extra. Shame really. Not too generous portions. Orange juice offered free with the breakfast was never provided.

Lovely venue overlooking the dock. I had the best pancakes I've tasted. The bonus was that I found a place that serves a proper mug of tea which is always hard when on holiday. My teens had full English and they tasted great. Breakfast served all day so we had a lie in at our hotel then fuelled up for a day of sight seeing. Perfect start to the day.

Dirty, Scruffy,Staff wouldn't give me a receipt, We queued for 20 minutes ordered. Then sat for 30 minutes . I really have never come across such rude indifferent staff. They couldn't give a damn and I suppose neither could the owner. Really dirty floors with rubbish under the tables. Tables dirty. We asked for 2 teas. They were given to us in 2 take away cups. No milk or spoon. we had to wait another 3/5 minute.

we ordered 2 coconut flat whites and 2 peach ice teas, the coffees are nothing near a flat white and you could barely tell it had coconut milk in it, the teas weren’t the worst but for some reason had a banana taste and personally we did not enjoy the taste of these at all. other times when ever came here it’s never been as bad as today but we assume it’s due to the new barista. overall it’s not worth the amount of money we paid, for this amount we’d expect to get at least good tasting drinks.

We ordered a giant cookie on the second of feb to be collected on the 17th feb giving plenty time for it to be made. The day before pick up I ran the branch and asked about the cookie to which the lady rudely replied she hadn’t got an order and that there was lots of staff so it had gone missing, she didn’t even think to ask what was my order and instead told me to ring back at 4:30pm as she was extremely busy. As this cookie was for an event I didn’t want to risk not getting it and with the employee not really listening and being rude on the phone I went down to speak to her to my Surprise (not) she was not busy instead on her phone with her headphones in I spoke about the issue with the missing order and showed her my receipt to which she replied (I believe you) well I’m glad she did as she took my order on the 2nd. She never apologised or even acknowledges her mistake instead was extremely rude. I’m sure this isn’t the time of person Millie’s wants as the front for there business because I will not be going back and I’m sure others will feel the same if they have to deal with the same rudeness and inconvenience.

Visité en varias ocasiones para llevar comida para llevar mientras estaba en mi almuerzo, descubrí que el personal es constantemente miserable y el menú es decepcionante para vegetarianos y veganos, a pesar de que afirman en TripAdvisor que son aptos para vegetarianos. En las raras ocasiones que tienen rollos de salchicha vegetariana, son agradables. Las sopas son hermosas, sin embargo, es frustrante hacer cola solo para descubrir que una vez que estás en el frente no tienen ninguna. La junta afirma que tienen patatas asadas, sin embargo, si se solicita, ya no las hacen. En mi visita anterior la semana pasada, salí de la tienda con las manos vacías y fui a Sayers unas puertas más abajo, ya que no tenían absolutamente nada que ofrecerme como vegetariano.

My girlfriend asked for a medium strawberry acai with lemonade but no ice and the drink cost £5.60 already for this price you could expect them to fill the cup, instead served a small cup half full, i asked if they could fill it up with lemonade as every other starbucks has done. I had to ask for a refund as i wasnt paying £5.60 for a half drink, we sat down to enjoy some time together and we overheard us them attempt to whisper about me asking for a refund by one staff member to the other and i found this to rude, when all i asked was a simple request. Any other starbucks or even staff have been much more accommodating. Wont be returning and ask people to go to the other starbucks in town centre.
