StoryHouse in Sefton

Called in today for coffee and a bite to eat, only to be told they had finished serving hot food. 20 minutes later a couple walked in and where given toast, I had asked for hummus on toast ( disappointed, obviously just couldn’t be bothered) Have to say coconut late was perfect.

I’m always on the search for Independent coffee shops & this is a real gem of a find. The outside chairs might look a little worn - but don’t worry - that’s just cosmetic. StoryHouse is wonderful for choice. …. There were so many scrumptious cakes to choose from : Chocolate & Banana Loaf (V), Passionfruit Drizzle, Raspberry Ripple Loaf, Coffee & Candied Pecan (V), Croissant Loaf …. I made a good choice with Persian Love Loaf (LG) decorated with rose petals & pecan. If you’re not interested in coffee … the tea looks great to - in funky glass teapots. Definitely going to visit again …..

Realmente disfrutamos nuestras visitas a Storyhouse. ¡El café es increíble y pasteles traviesos! Especialmente disfrute el aguacate triturado sobre una tostada con un americano; desafortunadamente, los pasteles y otros productos de confitería son muy difíciles de resistir en este lugar adecuado para grupos pequeños, parejas y también para aquellos momentos en los que uno solo quiere disfrutar de un placer relajante.

Amo este lugar; mi cafetería local independiente. Siempre hay buenas sopas vegetarianas locales y fabulosos pasteles que incluyen sin gluten. Es peculiar y de mentalidad comunitaria. Darle una oportunidad

Fantástico ambiente, el personal que realmente se preocupa y la maravillosa comida y café hacen de este un lugar de visita obligada cuando en Crosby. Una de las mejores en Liverpool, y muy interesante, la cafetería también actúa como un lugar para una variedad de eventos creativos y comunitarios.

Lovely coffee and a warm welcome is my experience of attending Story House. I have been with friends and grandchildren alike and feel comfortable each time I go. It is a quiet little respite for a weary soul.

Friendly folk, very good coffee, good value, near Sainsbury and Boots. Happy atmosphere. Good to support independent effort.

I pop in here at least once a week to pick up a coffee & it’s always busy. I’m always greeted with a smile and the coffee is great! The food looks nice and as do the cakes. Love the power balls for a healthy option but the Rocky road is def my favourite on a treat day! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Always a nice place to pop in to meet friends and have a hot drink. Coffee's good and strong, tea loose leaves in teapot with strainer. Service friendly and good, never eaten here but quite a few do.

Literally my favourite coffee! Would love you to open one in Liverpool city centre too guys 🙏🏻🙏🏻. (Just a note it’s always busy in here around lunch time so get there abit earlier otherwise you might not get a table)

I'm American. My wife and I I have visited Story House Cafe a few times while staying in the area. Coffee is great, the cakes are amazing. Really enjoyed the soups and sandwiches. The staff is friendly and kind.

Been here a few times now and every time it’s been superb. Nice soups in particular and good food in general. Coffee is top notch also. Reasonable toilet facilities, hygiene levels seem good and the service has been good every time we’ve been. Recommended.

Gorgeous home made cakes, fab coffee. Excellent addition to Crosby Village.. just need to get the front window sorted- annoying condensation prevents looking out!

Found this place almost by accident - but the coffee is excellent, as are the home baked cakes. The staff are so friendly, they take the time to actually talk to you rather than just take your order. The atmosphere is good to, not too quiet but equally not too noisy. There is an ‘upstairs’ used by many local community groups - I even joined one while I was there Highly recommended

Very friendly staff, relaxing environment. Good place for a coffee and chat. Fresh homemade soup especially welcome on a cold day.

- great food, great coffee (and tea) - awesome and great people (Lizzy) - blessed place I would like to come back one day.

StoryHouse is a great place with lovely staff, good coffee and cinemon rolls. Staff is always open for a nice chat.

I had a large cappuccino, some chicken pesto wrap and a cinnamon bun. Great food and lovely people there who are doing a great job. Nice place to chat and hang out

Great place to sit and watch the world go by... staff are lovely and really attentive. Great location

Stopped at the StoryHouse for some coffee and cake. Lovely setting, friendly and helpful staff and very nice and cosy.

I have visited storey house on a number of occasions. The coffee is better than any of the large chains and the atmosphere is always relaxed and staff are so friendly.

Very busy, but as in the title the Earl Grey Tea was excellent. They will even top up the decanter with hot water to keep you going. Very nice hot cheese and ham croissant and home baked date cake. Will return.

Very friendly place with good good coffee and amazing cakes. Even gluten free cakes and sandwiches. Nice place to chill with a cuppa after your shopping.

I called in for a first visit to this coffee shop early on a Friday morning. The restaurant is clean, comfortable and welcoming. Having ordered a large cappuccino and a heated croissant at the bar I took a seat. The food and drink was brought across to my table promptly and was of a very high standard. The free WiFi seems pretty good as well. A nice, relaxing place to spend half an hour.

I love this independent coffee shop in Crosby village. The drinks menu is extremely varied, I enjoy so many of the different drinks. The staff are so friendly and they all remember your coffee order. The delicious cakes are all homemade. I adore the millionaire shortbread! They also have a toddler group on a Wednesday upsstairs as well as craft groups

I visited while waiting for my car to be serviced on a Monday morning. It was a good choice as I prefer independent rather than chain outlets.. There was a good range of coffee, teas and cakes on offer, reasonably priced. It was quite busy but service was friendly and efficient. I would recommend the StoryHouse.

This is a very friendly little place. They have homemade cakes which are absolutely delightful. The millionaires short cake was amazing. The coffee in my opinion is better than the bigger famous coffee shops. The staff are lovely. The also do a selection of different teas and they offer none dairy milk for vegans and lactose intolerant people. This place is also linked to one of the local churches and they do some events of an evening linked to this however I have never taken part. Highly recommend this lovely local business.

Best independent coffee shop I've been to in Crosby - 2 large cappuccinos for £5, and a good selection of cakes and snacks! ☕

My friends and I arranged to meet at the Story House for lunch and enjoyed a beautiful bowl of fresh soup and a roll plus a cup of Tea. It was superb. Excellent Staff, very friendly and most helpful. A superb Community Events boards with lots of local flyers of activities. We all had a great time and we will definitely return.

Amazing coffee and lots of alternative milk options with vegan snack options too ( be nice if you had some vegan food) but definitely can't fault the coffee. *The guy with braids is really friendly and his coffees always look really pretty too*

I bought the millions shortbread and chocolate cookies and they were amazing. Friendly staff. Good selection and teas and coffees.

Nice coffee shop in the centre of Crosby Village

Lovely coffee shop with friendly atmosphere. Cakes are baked in house and lovely quality. Great place for a coffee and cake.

Had a great evening on Saturday with 'Music from the Musicals'. The gluten free carrot cake was superb, very moreish. You would never know it was gluten free!

popped in last week for a takeaway, always nice to see an indy rather than a chain, had the chance to come in and sit down today, lovely coffee, the flat white was delicious, so was the cinnamon bun, clearly home made and better for it, and it was especially good to watch one of the staff actually baking cakes for the cafe as we sat and had ours,we will be sure to return, deserves to do well

Stopped for coffee at this great little coffee shop. Nice welcome, great flat white and date slice. Will definetly come back soon

Called in with friends for a morning coffee and catch up chat. What a lovely independent coffee shop. Amazing coffee and loose leaf tea. Really enjoyed the soup too. Will be visiting on a regular basis.

I love this coffee shop, they sell a range of hot and cold drinks, the food is lovely to and homemade. A lovely little place for children to, my children love it in there.

when you walk in to story house there is always a warm friendly welcome when you walk through the door ,

Really nice coffee shop nice staff very good coffee nice looking but hard wooden chairs highly recommended

Went for the first time today, really excellent independent cafe, very well thought out decor with good attention to detail, the penny wall is fantastic, good food and choice of drinks, only thing for me, I take sugar and this was in packets and no spoon offered or napkins, sugar in packets was a shame especially with all the other well thought out details. I hope that this does not sound picky, this is a fantastic place and is very well worth a visit, after all we should all support well run local enterprises against the national chains who churn out the same thing in each shop!.

Have visited here a few times now and I just love it. It does the tastiest lattes I ever had! Lovely atmosphere, good decor and fab playlist make it a great place to sit and chill. Love the penny house on the wall - a great talking point!

Lovely coffee shop. Relaxing and serving just what is required from a great coffee shop= good coffee and great home made cakes.

My son and I first visited here in February but despite us both enjoying it, I didn't get around to writing a review. In Crosby again today and my 11 year old son specifically asked to go to The Storyhouse for lunch. My son had a cheese and ham baguette of which he ate every bit. I had a delicious ham and coleslaw baguette and we shared a tasty teacake. I had tea and my son a Smoothie which he really enjoyed. Food selection comprises soup, baguettes, toasties and cakes. It's a relatively small menu but that's the whole point, I think- the focus being on fresh, tasty, good food and cakes. The staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. The cafe itself is very clean, bright and comfortable with a very relaxed vibe. This has become our favourite place to grab a bite when in Crosby and I would definitely recommend a visit to the Storyhouse.

As others have said this is a great addition for village. The teas are good, staff friendly and helpful and the cafe is comfortable with good wifi. But I wish they would improve the savoury offerings. Cheese toasties with very little cheese sandwiched between two massive doorsteps of white bread is simply not tempting. Today I saw several people leave after viewing the rather meagre selection of "sandwiches" (actually doorsteps). They are losing custom as a consequence, which is a shame as it deserves to succeed.

Good vibe, good coffee and fantastic service and helpful staff. What more do yoj reallh need to say?

What a great cafe! I love the decor, and the drinks and cakes are great. What a great space upstairs too. Go here if you're in Crosby.

My teenage daughter and I popped in for a drink,, and I was tempted by the Lemon Drizzle cake - one of many delicious looking cakes. The receipt said GF - so I am assuming it was gluten free.

This fabulous coffee shop is definitely a great addition to Crosby village. Everything about this cafe is amazing and I would strongly recommend it to all. The spacious and peaceful seating area is accessible to both Oran's and wheelchairs. There is a wide selection of coffee and loose leaf teas which I am working my way through. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the chef even took the time to explain all of the ingredients to me in the yummy soup in detail as I am on a diet. But the homemade cakes are most definitely the stars of the show, especially the delicious cinnamon buns. Well worth a visitr

A great friendly atmosphere perfect to hang out with friends, with delicious food and coffee. I will be studying here a lot, super fast WiFi. The new hot spot in Crosby.
