Excellent flat white, lovely bright and welcoming coffee shop. Easily the best coffee shop in Hoole! Open earlier in the week for a pre work coffee. Quite busy on a Sunday morning but worth the wait.

Dirty tables, dirty cutlery, waited over 30 minutes for our food and the waffles were cold, gritty, and dry. For the astronomical price you would expect them to be made in house but they were clearly prepackaged and not fresh. Take your money elsewhere.

Lovely brunch cafe, we stopped here before going to the zoo. Parking outside says 30 mins mon-sat but the girl said she'd watch out for the parking guy for us. I had the Turkish eggs with chorizo and my boyfriend had the special which was Reuben Benedict with hash brown bites. All delicious and great coffee too.

Food was honestly 10 out of 10! I would return again and again, amazing variety and really good quality. Service was good, although didn't check if the downstairs door was open, so we came back up thinking we had gone the wrong way. Downstairs is lacking and feels a bit cold (almost escape room like with no windows). All in all, really really nice place that I'd highly recommend, I'd sit on the top floor though!

Cafe itself was lovely and service very good. Unfortunately I have walked away hungry and disappointed. Paying £6 for avo on toast plus extra 2.50 for halloumi I was expecting a little bit more then what I have received. One slice of bread (toast) very thin coat of avocado and tiny bit of cheese wasn’t an adult portion for lunch and I’m am not a big eater. I think the topping of greens was trying to add volume to the meal which I also find quite cheeky. Sadly I will not be back in a hurry. I understand that cafe has to make its money but returning and regular customer is always more beneficial then one of experience one.

We just walked out of this cafe which used to be our favourite place to eat. The food is fantastic but the service is appalling! We were totally ignored and after sitting there for ages feeling invisible my husband said right, let's go. We would understand if they'd acknowledged us and apologized for the wait but I don't even think they noticed us. Shame because, actually, it wasn't even busy!

We used Deliveroo to order lunch from Short and Stout, we’ve been in before and the service has been good and so has the food but this was our first time delivering. We are very disappointed in what was delivered to us, we paid £9 each for a Buddha Bowl. For the portion we received (a small pot about 10cm high) £9 is extortionate. The pot wasn’t even full and we received mainly just leaves and not many grains or chickpeas etc… I don’t know how it can be called a Buddha Bowl as we received so little food and were both left hungry afterwards. The £9 price tag is what was really disappointing as we are students so money is tight and we were both shocked when we saw what arrived.

Overall very poor. We arrived and sat downstairs which wasnt particularly pleasant. I appreciate it's very small place so I understand they dont have alot of space to work with but downstairs had no windows and quite loud music so felt even more claustrophobic. However its nicely decorated and it's the best that they can make it downstairs I guess. We were forgotten about downstairs so had to go upstairs ourselves and ask to be served. Then when our drinks came they forgot the milk and sugar for the coffee. Finally breakfast. 1 was Avocardo on toast with a poached egg - the toast was burnt and the egg had a few pieces of shell on. For a very simple breakfast meal in a place that specialises in breakfasts I dont expect burnt toast or shell. Other breakfast was delicious. Finally on paying the bill the shell was mentioned and got brushed off by the server that it seems to be part of eggs? Like being over poached? Plus side very aesthetically pleasing to look at

Short and Stout used to be my favourite breakfast place in Chester! However after my last visit, I will not be visiting again. I ordered poached eggs on toast, when it arrived my poached eggs were so hard they looked like they’d been forgotten about in the pan! I told the waitress that they were too hard and they made me some more. Yet, when I got my fresh eggs, they had just put them back on my original plate with my now very cold toast with the other eggs scraped off. Amongst the avocado I then found a hair in my food. I politely showed the waitress and pointed out that it was not my hair as I have very long hair. She then shrugged and said ‘oh sorry’ and walked off. When we got up to pay the lady who owns Short and Stout served us, and offered us no apology at all, in-fact she made no reference to the incident. She was aware of the hair as I watched the waitress tell her. I wasn’t expecting my meal to be taken off as I’m aware of the current climate. But a sincere apology would of been nice. After that, I will no longer be visiting Short and Stout.

Heard good things about this place, so decided to visit for a brunch. The staff were friendly enough, but not overly impressed with the food. One of us had pancakes, and although nicely presented, they were dry. The Huevos rancheros were very disappointing. The temperature of the food was not great, and only one egg??The salsa was way too bland - needed chillis through it, or at least provide a bottle of hot sauce. We always try and support local independent businesses, but as the bill came to around £40, I think it’s too expensive for regular visits.

The place looks really nice. We didn’t eat here, but we each had a drink. The wine tasted really good, with the server recommending a nice Chardonnay that didn’t break the bank. It was a lovely drink. They also provided us with a nice house red. However, we didn’t realize that just a glass of the white was £16, and the table red was £13 a glass! This meant our bill for six people was £80. They added a 12.5% service charge, which I disagree with for just drinks. All in all, just for these tactics alone, I will not be going here again.
