Temptations Cafe Bar in Sefton

Wonderful place to catch up with friends. Excellent value for money. Lovely staff x

Love this place food is amazing lovely staff

Haven't been for a while. It's still the go to cafe in St John's Road.

Amazing place. Amazing food. Amazing staff. 100% recomend the sunday roast, but they do sell out so recomended to book in advance. Brilliant place to go!!

Came with the other half and our little boy and all got the same poached egg on toast. Amazing portion size and every bit as tasty to match, don't know how this place isn't rammed!! Definitely worth every penny!

The food was appalling. Left it . My wife who works in hospitality was quite shocked. This is obviously a greasy spoon cafe . Great for all-day breckies. But not a "Bistro" The attitude of the server. She was very much in your face. Paid and left

I had the full English breakfast which was really enjoyable and the staff are lovely. Really relaxed atmosphere, really chill 😎

Eating here for over 10 years now. Food is quality and fresh, staff are lovely.

Good quality food at a good price. Good cleanliness and good service

Temptations is my top pick in town! Their eggs and avocado is my favourite breakfast dish and the Thai green curry my favourite lunch. The cozy vibe and personalised service make it feel like home. Trust me, you won't want to miss out on this gem!

Excellent… really friendly place.

Best cafe in the area. Love the 'cash only' policy. Excellent food and service. Our 'go to' for breakfast and lunch.

Called in for a Toastie, good food with great service.

Lovely little local cafe. Food is always great and good value.

Wonderful Sunday lunch, very good portions fresh vegetables and potatoes and homemade pudding a must

Love the breakfasts & Roast Dinners. Happy to dine in or take out and both available. Ver happy to recommend and return asap.

Great food at reasonable prices, fantastic staff - they gave our little boy colouring book and crayons - best breakfast on the street and they have cold beer too.

Highly recommended....food was excellent....massive portions too ...we took home a doggy bag

Every year Temptations provide ready prepared Christmas dinners for people like me who find christmas dinner too stressful. Everything is boxed up and all you have to do is heat it up. We ordered 2 meals but one was enough on for us on Christmas Day. We received cracker and a mince pie, meat there was enough for both of us, roast and boiled potatoes, carrot and swede, brocholi, stuffing, pig in blanket and gravy. Everything was cooked to perfection. You hace to collect your meal on Christmas eve and everything is bagged up.

Second year running we've used the takeaway Christmas dinners, picked up on Christmas eve. Food was fantastic, absolutely loads - perfect stress free dinner, and we would have spent more making it from scratch.

This is the best place for breakfast in Liverpool. We go most weeks and the staff are great and so is the food!

Best cafe in the area.. By far!! And 'cash only', which is awesome!! 👍

Breakfast freshly cooked and delicious, staff are great.

Love this place, always fantastic food. Good value for money. Friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommend.

We have being eating at Temptations for 18 years which says it all really. Friendly team and always quality food.

This is not your average cafe , if you’re thinking of going here just do it and thank me later

Love It there. I go on the weekend and I love to get a hot chocolate. The hot chocolate is so nice. I Recommend coming to temptations cafe.

Just had a Sunday roast it was absolutely delicious. We both ordered the large roast beef and we couldn't finish it. The staff were great and couldn't have done enough for us. This is our first time but definitely won't be our last.

The food was lovely, and the young lady that served us was just as lovely (Olivia) can't wait to return.

Love this local café. Good food, good value and friendly, welcoming staff.

Amazing food, massive portions and lovely friendly staff!

Our walking group of 12 pre-booked and food was served quickly. Staff were friendly. Good value for money

Food and service was amazing was our first time here and won't be our last

Best veggie breakfast around. Food is beautiful, immaculately clean, Best cafe in the city. We've been going for years and our kids will continue the tradition. #1 cafe around 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great place for a sit down breakfast or take out. Food is always spot on.

I had a medium breakfast, and it was delicious. I have only been once but I will be coming back. The staff are so friendly and I had a nice time. Recommend this for lunch.

Have recently ordered and collected two Sunday Roast Dinners to eat at home. Absolutely delicious. Tastes just as good as home cooking.Huge extremely generous portions. Fresh well cooked vegetables, carrot and turnip mash, cabbage with lardons, broccoli, boiled potatoes, roast potatoes. Stuffing and Yorkshire pud. Choice of three meats and plenty of gravy. We are rather fussy and can honestly say we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Good value for such quality and amount of food.No washing up afterwards, what's not to like. Well done Temptations.

Had an English breakfast and it was delicious. Everything seasoned to perfection and at great value.

Let down by no card payments, only cash

Wow. I have been coming to Temptations for years, but always either for a full english/breakfast food with the kids, or one of the amazing thai green chicken currys (try it!)- But I don’t know why, I had never been for a Sunday Roast! On a whim I rang up in the morning and asked to book for a table of 6 for 1pm- not a problem. When we arrived it was chock full, we were shown our table and had our drinks taken and was warned there was a bit of a wait on food, but it was worth the wait. We had 4 adults and 2 kids with us, 2 ordering a roast, 2 ordering a curry (telling you, try it!) 1 black pepper pasta (another temptys’ classic!) and a chicken burger and chips. The first thing to hit the table was the BIGGEST tray of veg- carrot and swede, little crispy new pots, brocolli & cabbage with bacon bits- and this was just for 1 of the roasts-heaven. Then the plate with the meat arrived, with 3 huge roasties, a crisp yorkshire pud and a beautiful hand made sausage and red onion (I think) stuffing ball, with a STACK of perfectly cooked beef- along came a huge gravy boat to accompany, filled with thick rich, slightly black peppery gravy. Wow. We wolfed down as much as we possibly could, and they happily gave us a tub to take back anything we couldn’t finish. An absolute bargain price in the current climate, and I’ve got lunch done for tomorrow. The girls in there take such good care of you, and even when theyre run off their feet the food comes with a smile, piping hot and delicious.

It's difficult to get consistently good meals but here you can. The staff and owner are polite friendly and attentive to your needs but not in your face with it all through your visit. The food is consistently good and cooked brilliantly with a menu with loads of variety.

Not been here for a while had my grandkids overnight so decided on Temptations for breakfast, one had bacon barm and the other sausage barm and apple juice I opted for the medium breakfast just about finished it plenty for a breakfast and a nice coffee. Lovely food nice welcome we will return

Very good nice and friendly very tasty and spicy food

Wonderful,helpful staff, great choice of food. I was even asked how crispy I would like my bacon. Really friendly and delicious brunch.

Great breakfast lovely staff and the best latte ever

We went for a late breakfast and as usual the quality of food was outstanding, the staff are friendly, welcoming and very efficient.

I am only visiting in the area but was glad I chose this place for lunch today. Chicken burger and fries were all fantastic, fresh and tasty. All other meals I saw being served around me looked great as well. Very friendly staff. Thank you for making a quick meal memorable :)

Food brilliant yummy staff lovely 😍 👌 recommended x

Takeaway Roast dinners are amazing!

Very nice food, friendly staff, but a little pricy.

Wow fantastic .... hungover breakfast .. The food was really good and the girls were lovely .... their tomatoes are the best around ,thick brown toast, good eggs and thick bacon .... mmmmmm yummy

Big portions , friendly staff , great place to eat.

Best place ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After a LONG walk on Crosby Beach, we were looking for a bite to eat. We Googled chippy's and found one on this street. It was empty, and as we all know, you don't buy food at an empty chippy. So, we came here. I'm glad we did. We both ordered a hot beef + onion baguette with a side salad and beefy gravy. Bloody, lovely. We each got two small baguettes that were fully loaded with beef strips and fried onions, a side salad, coleslaw, and a full gravy boat. We also had a tea 🍵 and a coffee ☕️ and the whole thing came to £17. Pretty good value. There were lots of other people eating so the place was busy, which is always a good sign. And the trade they were doing with takeaway Sunday roasts was mental!! There was a constant stream of people coming in to collect a takeaway Sunday dinner 🍽. I've NEVER seen that before but I was happy to see it. What a great idea 💡 All in all, if you're hungry and want some decent, reasonably priced food, then you could do much worse than come here. This is a good spot and we will be returning for sure. Cash only though so, get to the cash machine before you arrive. Well done Temptations, see you soon!!

Lovely café with that's always got a good atmosphere. Only down point is make sure you bring cash as they don't take card

Excellent breakfast fresh hot and delicious 👍

A really lovely place to eat. Lots of choices on the menu including vegetarian options. I will definitely go again and recommend to othery

Fantastic food a great prices. Amazing Sunday Lunch. Will be trying their breakfast , as recommended by a friend, very soon.

Bacon on toast 😋 Finest bread tasty butter and beautifully cooked bacon served with a big smile for very reasonable price in a comfortable environment with a touch of class for a caff

Excellent breakfast. Well presented food and attentive staff

Breakfast was delious, staff where friendly and the service was excellent.

We first discovered this little oasis yesterday and enjoyed it that much we returned for a second time today with our family! The ambiance, the staff and the food all exceeded our expectations. Nothing was too much trouble. Caitlin was our server yesterday and today she remembered us and greeted us with a warm welcome. We are moving to the area and will definitely be visiting on a regular basis. Thank you

Lovely food friendly service every time

Really nice friendly staff. Food fantastic. Nice atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Not been for a while but me and my son fancied a breakfast and there was no other place for me food is always great Clean tidy place great service

Lovely place with nice interior. Hot chocolate with cream was divine. They didn't have what I ordered so the waitress recommended me the chicken madras and it was beautiful! Soooo many menu options. Everything seemed to be cooked freshly, which meant that it took a bit of time to arrive, but it was worth it.

Never been there befor but would go again the food was realy nice staff friendly and it was clean

Our favourite place for a family get together. Lovely food. Friendly staff. Xx

Great little cafe, lovely inside simple food done well, don't know why it's not busier.

Firstly, Trip Advisor is a disgusting web site, and this is my last review on here. It has to be said. Many of my positive reviews have been ignored, and it is a very poor biased site anyway. Back to lovely Temptations. Beautiful food at reasonable prices. Service is excellent. Never been disappointed. Believe me...it is great.🤪☀️🥳

Nice polite friendly not expensive

Service was friendly and welcoming Tables chairs and toilet was clean Food was scrumptious not greasey Easy to park and it was a Sunday Definitely go again

Best roast in liverpool 👏👏👏❤️❤️ Staff brilliant breakfasts fab toooo ❤️❤️ portions sizes unbelievable x

One of the finest bacon on toasts I've ever had the pleasure of eating. The quality of the bacon is second to none

So glad this place is open again, the outdoor seating area is absolutely lovely, loved the music and so happy to have one of the fabulous breakfasts again!

The food is fantastic and so much of it 5 stsrs are not enough

During a very tricky time we received excellent customer service, fantastic value for money, well presented & THE best breakfast ever. All with a cuppa & toast, if I ever visit Liverpool again I would certainly make a bee line for this cafe

Me and my boyfriend googled nearest cafe we are so glad we found temptations, nicest breckfast we've ever had, lovely staff, social distancing was in place and over all great, we couldn't praise this place enough.. can't wait to go back already :)

Just had a full breakfast with my son love this place value for money lovely hot food Social distancing observed clean and safe

Perfect for a delicious meal, lots of choice. lovely staff

Without a doubt the BEST cafe in Crosby/Waterloo. Food is amazing. Never had a bad meal there. Breakfasts are to die for as for the salt + pepper chips, beats any chippy absolutely gorgeous. Had a BLT there today nicest I've ever tasted. Lovely family run business with a really nice inviting atmosphere. Cannot recommend this cafe enough. Once you've been there you'll never want to go anywhere else

Visited here for breakfast as a group of four. Service was good, staff were friendly and food was lovely however we did have to wait quite a while for the food to come out although we appreciate they were busy. Wouldn’t put us off returning again- thank you!

Hemos estado yendo a Temptations durante mucho tiempo y siempre disfrutamos mucho de nuestra visita hasta hoy.Habíamos reservado para 2 de nosotros a las 12. 30 y cuando llegamos nos dijeron que tendríamos que esperar entre 40 y 50 minutos. . . aparentemente, había entrado otra multitud (no estoy seguro de si habían reservado). Pensé que el hecho de que habíamos reservado significaba que nos servirían como siempre.Aprecio que fue un almuerzo ajetreado, pero nos decepcionó mucho. Fuimos a otro lado pero nos sentimos decepcionados

Went here for breakfast today, have been here previous of time and always been good. Todays visit was good too but just had to wait for our breakfast for a bit too long. Just over 30 minutes hence giving 4 stars.

Always get great food when I come here. The chilli is my favourite but the baguettes and the breakfasts are amazing too. All the staff are really friendly.

Good size portion of food was nice but down side we waited for 1hr for 1 breakfast and 2 butties was given a complimentary tea. The price point for there standard breakfast is Ridiculous therefore will not be attending again

Well after months waiting took my son for a full English ad good as ever great service tasty food I’ll be back soon

Amazing roast 3 meats just for myself but there easily 3 meals worth there thanks x

Pedí una entrega de cena asada con 3 carnes para mi tío que se aísla a sí mismo en su 77º cumpleaños. El servicio de principio a fin fue atento, amable y muy servicial. La comida que escuché fue abundante y excelente también. Muchas gracias por hacer que el cumpleaños de mi tío fuera especial.

What a fabulous place. We stopped for breakfast which was wonderful. Very tasty and filling served by friendly staff and was very good value for money. The menu was quite extensive so will be back to try lunch next time.

Great service great food good prices

Caminando por la calle John’s Road, buscando un lugar para tomar un refrigerio y una taza de té, vi tentaciones.Tratando de recordar lo que había estado en ese sitio cuando era niño, entré y me impresionó lo que vi. Mesas agradables, barra tipo desayuno, no todas regimentadas e iguales, pero agradables a la vista.Pedí un sándwich de tocino y huevo y una taza de té.Me alegro de que ya no vivo en la zona, ya que no sería bueno para mi figura, ya que este sándwich fue uno de los mejores que he probado en mucho tiempo.Bien servido: mucho tocino, huevo que no goteó por todo el plato, pero no un yugo duro o seco. Fue tan bueno.Sin duda volveré cuando esté en la zona.Bien vale la pena una visita.

Lovely food very pleasant visit and staff attentive

What a breakfast and lovely staff

I visit this place regularly and never fails me lively food tasty, quick service value for money Doesn’t take cards which is a shame

Very good food, large portions and inexpensive. The cafe is pleasant and the staff very friendly. I recommend this for comfort and price.

Temptations is a great place to visit if not the best, the food is 100% the staff are very friendly, and reasonably priced, but you don't mind paying abit extra for top quality food I recommend temptations 100%

Great value and friendly welcome worth a visit

Always come here for a good breakfast! Best breakfast ever! And good price and the staff are so lovely! And a gorgeous atmosphere!

Lunch out. Good choice on menu of light snacks and breakfast. Not licensed. Good food. Freshly made. Just had correction from Temptations, they are licensed
