Toast Coffee House & Cafe in St. Helens

Overall, we enjoyed our visit. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with friendly staff and a good menu selection. Quick service adds to the positives. However, parking could be an issue—if you time it wrong, you might end up leaving hungry. Despite that, we’d definitely go again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Really lovely food 😋 staff really helpful and price is great for the quality of meals

Toast has to be up there with my favourite breakfast spots in Merseyside. Consistently good food, consistently attentive and friendly staff and servers and excellent value for money in a nice quiet and clean environment.

Excellent place to go too. Food and drink Excellent. Staff was Excellent

Lovely place for breakfast and service was great :)

Popped in here to get some breakfast whilst I was getting some new tyres at Tyrecare. Great breakfast omelette and wonderful coffee with really nice staff.... 100%recommend 👍

Great place for an excellent breakfast with quality produce and service. I recommend you try the breakfast here. Phil

If going here I would recommend calling ahead to reserve a table as they are busy. We went there based on a recommendation from the Inn we were staying at. The food was good but definitely a busy little place

Excellent food,staff highly recommended

Excellent food & service- as always 😋

Lovely place for a nice breakfast!

Pre cooked so very overdone when I received it. Need more staff really , we waited a while to attract someone's attention.

Really nice busy place, food was lovely and very polite staff 😀

Pretty cafe but the food's not great

Tried this cafe after reading reviews for a spot of breakfast. Cafe was quite busy which is always a good sign. Opted for full English which I found very tasty. Cafe is quite large inside with outside eating an option. Friendly service throughout. Will return if in the area again.

Lovely food boss staff very clean 👌 👍 😀

This is a hidden gem in St Helens. Light and airy with an outside patio. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Food is fresh and delicious. We both had the special omelet with feta cheese and spinach - scrummy. The next door table were having high tea. wow!

Perfect way to start a relaxing Sunday morning, great choice of breakfasts, lovely atmosphere, great value, staff are just so friendly & welcoming. Have yet to visit for lunch but it's on my agenda!! I can honestly highly recommend a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Always a friendly place to eat. Food is excellent.

Great experience great food.Attentive staff.Give it a try you won’t be disappointed.👍.Due to have day at the races and we were looking for an eating place beforehand.Glad we found Toast.

Amazing food, will definitely be back

Good overall experience, tasty food and good portion sizes. The only thing that lead me to 4 starts was we felt the blonde lady member of staff taking our order was a bit rude, also noticed she was the same to other customers and staff.

Lisa and her team provide a fabulous experience. Toast is a luxury spa break for your tummy xxx

Came here when familly visited excellent food and service very clean and good value. Plenty of parking if you know the area. Will return.

Really cozy and small cafe. It's nice to sit with your partner and have breakfast.

Heard about this place a month ago from a friend, visited every weekend since. Best cafe I’ve been to in years, from the great food to the impeccable service. Any questions or requests are always handled professionally and most importantly with a smile. No wonder there is a queue down the street from opening to close. Will definitely be returning again soon.

Amazing food, great service, great prices. What's not to like!

Simply the best iv been to far many years excellent food and plenty of it

Myself and my colleague were on a business trip yesterday in the St Helens area, we are from Manchester. We had gone as league representatives to watch FC St Helens claim victory in their promotion. As we didn't know the area we simply used TripAdvisor who gave us the perfect spot. Everything about the place was absolutely amazing. From the lovely little cobbled courtyard to the decevingly large interior. You know you are on to a winner when there's people queuing out the door at 11am on a Friday !!!. We both had the Large Breakfast which was £9.95, sounds pricey, but oh my word probably THE BEST IVE HAD in a very very long time. The eggs, the bacon, the sausages everything on the plate was phenomenal. You can tell they were from a butcher and not just a supermarket. Trust Me I've eaten a lot of cooked breakfast and it was amazing !!!. The Staff were also fabulous and nothing but nothing was to much trouble, especially to the waitress who were basically run of their feet. A special mention to lady who served us and also the young lady who brought us our food. I never experienced anything like the service we had. To produce quality of that nature on such a busy service is testament to the chef's behind the scenes. Again absolutely First Class. Upon leaving I ordered a latte to take away, by the time we got to the car I had drunk it. However is was so fresh with quality coffee we went straight back and ordered two more for our onward trip. I can only score it 5 stars, but if I could I would give it a lot lot more. This place IS NOT TO BE MISSED. Thank you so much for your care an attention to detail. Incredible.

Beautiful high tea for our wedding anniversary. Gorgeous food and excellent service, highly recommended

It's a very good place to go for a number of reasons. Menu is comprehensive for all your breakfast needs. The food is very tasty and always fresh and warm. The staff are friendly to the. The place is a throwback to the days when you could get service and satisfaction when you shopped. The place is very well designed with heaters in the courtyard making outside dining possible in winter. Oh and the cakes are lovely. It is a place to go without doubt.

Food, service,atmosphere all first class. Thank you all.

Beautiful High Tea for mothers day with lovely service with a smile as always. So nice

Lovely place. I recommend the full english and eggs benedict ar the weekend. Really great service even tho they were pretty busy. Parking is hit and miss, you chance your luck but well worth it. Will become regulars xx

This place is amazing. The staff are so friendly and accommodating, the decor is lovely and the food is delicious. I will be a regular here going forward I had the most absolutely perfect high tea

Lovely coffee shop, great coffee, great food. I had eggs Benedict, and it was fantastic. On this occasion, there were 3 of us, and a baby. All food and drink was enjoyed. Friendly staff also adds to the charm of this coffee shop. Highly recommend. 223/08/25 Back again with family, and yet again this place is fantastic. 3 adult lunches, 2 soups, coffees and kids food. All perfect polite service, and great atmosphere. Love this place. Always 5 star!

Lovely place, service is very good and the staff were pleasant, varied menu and breakfast cooked well, pleasant atmosphere although a little noisy with people talking over one another but it hasn't put me off going back. 😊

Soon as you turn up,your noticed, if there's no places they will tell how long it can be, they don't let stand there which I appreciate, but when your in luck, and your in, then it's top notch, lovely food,lovely staff, nuff said!

Excellent service Excellent breakfast definitely going back as the breakfast was great and easy to park near by.............

We visit Toast regularly and are always greeted with a smile and the service is always great, even when it’s super busy. They have an extensive menu with plenty of choice for vegetarians. The prawn salad is my favourite. Portions are excellent and pricing reasonable.

Tasty food, nice and friendly staff. Homely atmosphere.

Excellent food & very friendly staff

Great food lovely surroundings great service will definitely be going again

Amazing food which was excellent. First class service, too. I've read reviews over the years well done on maintaining such a little gem.

I booked afternoon tea for a group 6. Paid a £5pp deposit. Unfortunately one person was unable to make it on the day, so lost the deposit which was expected. The food was truly fantastic. Had mix of hot and cold savouries, lots of sandwiches and a selection of sweet stuff. Infact we all ended up taking some home in box as there was so much. The staff are really attentive and professional. I have been to this venue several times before and it never disappoints. It is small and cosy but well set out. Seating inside and also in a coveted courtyard which has oodles of atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Enjoyed a late breakfast bite in a busy cafe. Well organised and attentive service. Tea served in china cups and poached eggs cooked to perfection

On entering greeted by pleasant staff. Nice place. Nice food. Good service. Didn't wait long even though the cafe was full. Only thing, no apparent parking other than main road. Maybe we missed it.

Now I understand all the reviews and comments from others. Absolutely lovely place, with great staff and the food was exceptional.

I love a breakfast at Toast. Consistently good quality food, served with a smile. I opt for door stop toast and a cup of tea in a China cup, it's like visiting your favourite nan's house.

Alway busy which for a food establishment speaks volumes. Always excellent service. Food is always well prepared and delicious. Highly Recommend this place.

Great value for money. Breakfasts superb.

Superb breakfast for our tankie meeting and the staff were superb

Wonderful food, Wonderful service. Can't recommend Toast highly enough.

Great little place, lovely breakfast, lovely staff.

Love it, wonderful place Amazing Good

A fantastic cosy breakfast place that we’re very lucky to have on our doorstep! First time I’ve been and just know we’re going to be regulars from now on 🍳☕️

Excellent place for for & service

Yet again faultless, lovely welcome on arrival and lovely ladies always with a smile and some conversation. Biscoff hot chocolate is fantastic, followed by a full breakfast! Set us both up nicely before our night shifts! See you again soon 👏👏

First visit today Staff are lovely and food was outstanding! Can’t wait for our next visit

Went for breakfast this morning. Was absolutely gorgeous. 2 full English and a bacon and pancakes. Coffee excellent. Would defo return. Queue out the door ! So get there early.

We went at 10am on Monday morning and were seated straight away inside. We never mind whether it’s inside or outside as they have a great outdoor area with heaters. Staff really friendly and we ordered two breakfasts and sausage barns for kids. Only criticism is not a lot of choice midweek as they only do pancakes etc at the weekend.

What an amazing place. Food was delicious, we ordered the big breakfast and the little breakfast and both were great. The cafe itself is lovely with indoor and outdoor (heated) dining areas.

Great little big cafe, looks small but a bit like a TARDIS. Waitress was lovely and looked after us. Food was fantastic sausage especially.

Delicious food and all staff are fabulous so kind friendly and excellent workers,fabulous breakfast and all food is delicious

Extortionate prices £20 for x2 coffees and x2 buttys. Was sat down and seat was given away my order was a take away apparently. Bacon and egg on toast had to drive back get bread toasted.

Been disappointed with a few places going out for a spot of brekky with the wife and finally a lovely little place that absolutely didn't disappoint. Breakfast was beautiful and filling staff were friendly and attentive will definitely be coming back... no wonder it's voted best breakfast in st helens yum yum ..

Lovely cosy characterful cafe, delicious food.

Wonderful cafe, friendly, lovely food and reasonably priced. Very friendly staff. Lovely courtyard at the rear which has parasols if it gets too hot. Food came quickly even though it was quite full. Not licensed but they did say if you book for say an afternoon tea you can bring your own.

Delicious food and all staff are lovely so kind and friendly,everywhere is spotlessly clean, fabulous place to go and you never get tired of going there.

Love this cosey coffee shop. I ordered high tea for my friend and I, was more than we could finish. Lovely service. It does get very busy though at lunchtime, though we went at 2pm and it was still busy in the summer holidays

Staff pleasant but sausages over cooked and toast asked for a week coffee not strong but was given strong which meant more sugar not good for me

Booked in for an afternoon tea special, the staff were friendly and helpful the food was delicious we all thoroughly enjoyed it,and would highly recommend

Just had door stop toast, brilliant

Lovely food, good sized portions, good selection of hot & cold drinks. Serving are always happy & chatty. Even when very busy food arrives quickly. Well done keep up the good work

Had a super lovely breakfast. Asked for just avocado on toast (rather thick), skipping the egg with some apple juice and it was superb and filling. There were many tables reserved and people still calling to ask for reservations. I believe that is a big enough sign that no matter what you get it will be great. The staff were happy and helpful with our food being served rather swiftly.

Had a lovely couple of hours in toast yesterday afternoon with two good friends. We had high tea!! It was excellent, along with the atmosphere and service. We are lucky to have this little place in St.Helens.

It's a lovely little place. Good food and great people. And the price is fair. We had a little breakfast and really enjoyed it.

Can't recommend this place enough. Staff are so friendly and make you feel welcome. The whole place is spotless clean and cutely decorated. And the food is delicious. And brilliantly price.

Toast has the perfect mix of good food, good atmosphere and wonderful staff. The only downfall of toast is it's popularity, so be you may have a small wait for a table.

The best place to eat breakfast and a light lunch in St Helens by a mile. The staff are all great too and very friendly. I would describe the food and service at Toast both with the same ‘consistently brilliant’.

Lovely little cafe bright and friendly atmosphere lovely service

Lovely food, cooked fresh from order. Staff are lovely (Amy makes amazing cakes!) I have been going for years. I can definitely recommend them Updated review 2023 - the food was as about as good as ever but the service has gone slightly. I had to ask for my coffee (10mins after other drinks had arrived) and then the milk (I can drink black coffee but not nescafe which I would usually avoid altogether but it comes with a breakfast, my mum had given me the frothy milk from her and my sisters drinks but it didnt help so i ended up asking for milk about 10minutes later) Staff seemed to look with exasperation whenever you requested something. I get Saturdays are busy but service is half of the experience

Really lovely , we attended my sisters hen do there we had afternoon tea it was absolutely delicious ,they made a lovely mini afternoon tea for my 2 year old daughter too made it really special for her. Food was delicious and nothing is too much trouble would highly recommend 👌

Absolutely delicious food,staff are fabulous so kind friendly and efficient and the whole place is spotlessly clean.

Friendly staff with a great atmosphere, very organised and lovely food. I have been to toast many times and always enjoy my visit. *****

Best food and service in England no doubt 👌

Not for me. 6..60 for a breakfast barm. Well a small barm. 4.50 for bin lid in most place's. Not all that good tbh. Black pudding not cooked just warm. Wont be going again

Always excellent, can't fault the breakfast & service received

Delicious food,everywhere is spotlessly clean and all staff are lovely so kind and friendly and very efficient. Highly recommend Toast excellent for everyone

Bacon hardly cooked big breakfast tiny bare minimum, everything just cooked nothing much other local cafes won’t go again , and not cheap Normally don’t leave reviews first one but half the plate was mushrooms

Very pleasant experience. Great food

Glad we stopped. The sweet 🌶 baguette was spot on!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

Great little cafe that always serves fantastic food.

Great tasting food at a reasonable price. Lovely staff

Lovely friendly staff and good food

Great coffee house, we had high tea and it was excellent and filling! The staff were attentive and really happy and pleasant with everyone. Will definitely go again.

Went for afternoon tea for a birthday and really enjoyed all on offer

Food is delicious and all staff are lovely,so kind friendly and hard working,it is a very popular place.Never ever found any problem at all it is highly recommended.

I have visited this establishment for many years and have had gorgeous food served by very welcoming staff. I visited today and ordered a steak baguette something I have had many times. Today I felt that the steak was quite large and difficult to eat....

Just had brunch. First visit in a long time. Delicious. Eggs Benedict the best I have tasted. Won’t leave it so long again 10/10
