Waterfont cafe in Liverpool

You in need of a jumbo scone then head here. Simply super with jam in a mini jar. The only downer at the moment is that they only serve tea and coffee in take away cups which is super environmentally unfriendly. Bring back the loose leaf glass pots and proper cups. Because its less waste and just as safe You need to get back to normal.

lovely cafe.nice and clean.we had coffee and scones,very nice not cheap it cost more than m and s ,for the same items.staff did not smile, or seem friendly.in museum, so handy after the museum.

Mi amigo y yo estábamos visitando el museo y decidimos almorzar en el café, es un café brillante y está muy limpio, comí un sándwich de atún y un amigo tenía pescado y papas fritas deliciosas y a buen precio también, los pasteles se veían encantadores pero no lo hicimos No tengo ninguno, definitivamente visitaría de nuevo.

Llamado para té / café y pastel después de visitar el Museo contiguo de Liverpool. Amplia y espaciosa zona de cafetería luminosa con muy buenos pasteles y bebidas decentes. Vale la pena llamar para pasteles y bebidas.

The Waterfront Café is located inside the modern Museum and can be accessed through the same doors as the Museum. Serving drinks and reasonably priced snacks it is a usefully located eatery in an area with many more expensive restaurants. Well worth a visit if you just want a drink or small snack.

after 2 hours underground we needed a drink, they do Illy coffee here, 5 thirsty explorers sorted out in a nice bright, warm area.

Handy cafe set within the (excellent) Museum of Liverpool. Lovely bright space, very inviting. Very clean. Had a visit just for snacks and drinks this time to recharge us during our museum visits. Tempting array of cakes on offer - didn`t succumb this time but may not be as strong-willed next time! The panini we did have arrived quickly and was really tasty. I also like the tea which was loose leaf presented in a cafetiere. Would certainly re-visit on our next Liverpool adventure.

The Waterfront Cafe is a light, bright and airy space. There is plenty of choice, reasonably priced food, and friendly staff. Lovely place to take a break after walking around the museum.

The waterfront cafe is a ideal place if you are visiting the museum or at the pier head to go if you want a main meal or just a snack and a nice cuppa the the staff are really friendly

This was a welcome break good tea and nice cakes, the general areas were clean and the staff welcoming. They do also have a good souvenir shop as well.

Good little place for a quick drink, as in most cities a little higher in price and not particularly comfortable but there's so much to see and do in Liverpool that who wants to be in a cafe.

Visited the Museum of Liverpool and decided on a quick lunch. It is exactly what you would expect from a restaurant (a self serve cafeteria, actually) in a museum. Nothing more and nothing less. Prices were moderate which was a plus.

Ok cafe! Staff were not very attentive made lots of mistakes gave the impression they didn't want to be there.

TIP: Avoid the really busy lunchtime period noon til 1pm (its crowded) but the rest of the time it is a great place. The leaf tea in the glass pots (one pot easily serves two) is very good, the filter coffee at £2 is better value but grab a super humungous scone they are superfab and super big ..... often pop in here for a tea / coffee and a scone. THEN pop into the museum shop opposite ..... one of the best places in LIverpool to buy your bits and souveniers

Pleasant staff, good choice of food and plenty of it. Glad to see the water jugs! Very clean cafe and toilets

Sitting between the Albert Dock and the Pier Head, this cafe is part of the Museum of Liverpool.

Considering it's location the food and drink prices are very good here. Good Coffee for £2. Tea in glass Carafe style teapot is £2.20 and the scones as usual ..... whole meal and super sized ..... one will suffice for two people.

Called in during a visit to the museum, enjoyed a snack lunch and coffee. Nice clean and well laid out, plenty of bathrooms.

Mi madre y yo visitamos este Café, ubicado en el vestíbulo del Museo de Liverpool, en el 29 / 11 / 2017. Es muy luminoso y ventilado por dentro debido a la decoración blanca todos y las grandes ventanas por un lado que da hacia el lado de tierra de Pier Head. Estaba muy limpio y ordenado. El café era en gran medida vacío cuando llegamos, el único otro ser una mesa de comensales dos mujeres con dos niños pequeños. Esto podría haber sido porque era un miércoles mediodía. No había otros clientes mientras estuvimos allí. Me di cuenta de que había sido siempre con una silla alta para el hijo menor, que era bueno.

El museo ha tenido una renovación recientemente y el café es mucho mejor. La oferta es buena si no básicos, pero todo estaba impecablemente limpio y ordenado un poco frío, pero supongo que es una cafetería del museo y no de un restaurante. El personal era de lo más agradable. Creo que la señalización que dice "caliente" y "comida fría" es demasiado básico para este nivel de edificio. La señalización y paredes podría ser mejorado mucho por estar hecho un poco de trabajo artístico y gráfico.

- Can't actually review their meals, although there did seem to be some people eating and enjoying them, we had a mixture of tea, juice, crips and scone and cake, - the juice was bottles from the usual chill cabinet ( don't think we where offered glasses for it - certainly returned to the table without any ) the tea looked an art from itself with the loose tealeaves in the glass containers - and cups to put it in thankfully - the scone was fresh and the fruitcake moist.

What is good about all the eateries / cafes in all the Liverpool Museumns and Galleries is the price consistancy ....... all very reasonable. The Waterfront has a good light and airy location ...... although its called the Waterfront it actually faces land side but...

Gran Café. Tuvimos una selección de fxoods frías y calientes, así como bebidas calientes, pasteles y bollos. Comida y pasteles, bollos eran muy fresco y sabroso. Té era especialmente bueno y todo a un precio razonable. Sin duda volveremos.

Comimos allí y entre nosotros probamos los paninis, sopa y patatas al horno - encantadora y el precio era totalmente en línea con sitios similares. El té se servía como hojas en un recipiente de vidrio que era diferente!

Paramos aquí durante un día ocupado tratando de visitar muchos lugares interesantes como posible. El café y el pastel era delicioso servido por un personal amable donde las mesas estaban limpias y ordenadas en todo momento mientras estuvimos allí.

Paramos para tomar café después de nuestra excursión en ferry por el Mersey. El servicio era bueno, el café un lujo y el lugar estaba limpio. Las mesas estaban despejadas y que no fue limpiado rápidamente cuando un ferry significa hazaña llegó lleno de sed y viajeros con hambre!

Enjoyed a hot sausage roll and a cup of tea after an excellent visit to the museum. WE were also able to rest before setting outon the walk back to the hotel.

I went to this cafe with a group of friends after a trip across the Mersey. Hardly anything to eat even though it was only about 2.30pm. One toasted sandwich, no soup, the only topping for jacket potatoes was baked beans. I had a scone which although was very large it was inedible. This should be a little gold mine given its position but no effort is made at all. Don't go.

We visited between 11.30 and 12.00pm only to discover that breakfasts stopped at 11.30 and hot lunch food didn't start till 12.00. So we had a prepacked sandwich which was icy cold in the middle and a cup of tea which came in a glass teapot with strainer and proper tealeaves. Not the nicest tea and not helped by longlife milk capsules. Canteen rather than cafe!

The food was basic. We had soup and a scone, perfectly good. The prices were a bit higher than I would have expected but that would be OK if it was subsidising the free entry to the museum.

For a world class city beside a main museum, one would would expect fresh food. Tea was nice but went for the seasonal chocolate yule off which was was just a blob of sugar, colouring and additives. The other fare wasn't much better. I'm afraid the cage is stuck back in the 90's before the modern health kick came in and not before time!

We stopped off for a bit of breakfast before going on the ferry across the Mersey. In short it was well over priced, (we only had tea and toast for silly money ) and disinterested staff. I asked for a menu and was told quite rudely to look at the screen. The screen display changes so quickly you have to have a photographic memory to recall anything on it. There were three staff on duty and only the four of us but everything we asked seemed to be a chore. The toast was brought to us but no cutlery and took five minutes for the lady to bring the utensils over. I think it may a case of help yourself to cutlery but as the waitresses did not tell us we were not to know. The cafe itself has a few posters of the Beatles on the wall and that is about it. Nothing special, disinterested staff who made me want to jump in the Mersey. Over priced, unfriendly and generally very poor. We visited in September and have taken my time before writing as I wanted to calm down but I still look back at this place with disappointment.

Went here with the kids. Good range of options on offer. They do kids meals as well. Scones were super.

After looking around the Museum of Liverpool, it was nice to rest my legs with a cup of tea, very welcome

Sunday morning for mid-morning coffee - didn't have much time to spend but the food was lovely. Very roomy interior - I am disabled and use a mobility scooter - plenty of room to 'park' it. One of the best disabled toilets I have visited!

stopped in for a coffee and sandwich whilst visiting museum. lovely clean an well laid out eaterie. outside seating if required reasonably priced and Latte is delicious

We went in June 2016 ....lovely food , thick carved ham salad sandwich , cheese panini , bowl of nice hot chips , pot of tea & a coffee all very nice , tea was made with infused tea leaf"s no tea bags .Yes a little Canteen looking ,, but lovely and clean and good friendly service what more do you want all for £13.00 .

Great coffee and good service with great views over the dock. Try the scones with your latte, buggies are a bit meh !

We visited this cafe on Sunday 5th June as we were at the river festival I was charged £3.90 for two cups of tea all I got was two paper cups with water with a teabag thrown in I was told to put my own milk and sugar in it which consisted of a jug for the milk not cartons as you would expect with the heat of the day the milk wouldn't last long there were no sweeteners available luckily I carry my own being diabetic, the whole place was a mess there were dirty tables with previous customers used things on them and the staff all looked like they were on holiday, no winder the ice cream van outside was so busy he was friendly and a lot cheaper. Give this place a very wide berth if you go to the area

Bizarrely I couldn't (and still can't) find this cafe on TripAdvisor by searching for it by name, it only came up in a Google search. A number of TripAdvisor features surprise me, this is another to add to the list.The cafe itself is part of the Museum of Liverpool (which I have reviewed separately). It is undoubtedly convenient, which is why it can get away with the atmosphere of a school canteen and relatively high prices.When in Italy I am happy to drink Moretti beer, but it seems daft to me that a cafe in a British museum should sell only Italian beer.

£2 for a glass jar full of loose tea with hot water... Tea wasn't very nice and grossly overpriced in my opinion.

Whilst visiting this wonderful museum I had a coffee and Cheese & Ham Panini at this cafe which were both okay and slightly overpriced. The menu had a reasonable choice of hot and cold meals and snacks available.Staff were a little slow and nothing seemed urgent. They were polite, smartly dressed and the cafe was clean, however it was only an average cafe to me.There is a much larger room next door for visitors who wish to take their own food to eat.

Only had a coffee here but there are many other choices available. Lovely place to chill out while walking round the area. Good too that the profits from here go to help keep the museum a free attraction. More than happy to recommend.

On a rainy day this seemed the only place to sit in and eat. We both had a sandwich and coffee, cost about £10.50, slightly overpriced for what it was. Other than that I can be neither negative or positive, it was lunch!

We needed a break from being a tourist & chose here to have tea & cake. The tea is loose & served in a glass percolator which looks good although the tea got far too strong for me. There was a limited selection of cakes probably as it was late afternoon so I think most had been sold as all were fresh. The cafe was quiet as very few people were using it. Toilets were clean. I imagine this place can get very busy & would be noisy.

If anyone wants to eat the world's most boring sandwich, go and try their chedder and chutney one for the dishonest price of £2.95. Two slices of bread, a thin slice of cheese and the thinest covering of something trying to be chutney. Mind you, the childrens sandwiches looked even worse. There are plenty of better places to eat around here than this.

The style of the building is very modern and the Café seems to be used by passengers waiting for the ferry. Things were clean and tidy but it lacked soul.

Had a bowl of soup and a bread roll which was fine. Cafe is bright and spacious with lots of room. Nothing much more to be said.

We called in for a coffee whilst waiting for the ferry. The coffee was good and the cafe was very clean and seemed to be well stocked. Good location and fine views of the Mersey, if you're lucky enough get a seat near the window. Lovely to hear Beatles' music playing in the background but could have made more of memorabilia included in the decor. After all, it was the Fab 4 cafe and yet it could have been just any cafe in any town. It was nice but anything can be 'nice.' It could be so much better and should be if it's to live up to it's name.

Very pleasant cafe inside the Museum of Liverpool. Prices are not too expensive and a good selection of snacks. It can get crowded sometimes especially at weekends and over the summer so bag your seat asap.

I called into the cafe after being on the ferry for a quick drink to warm myself and a slice of cake. The hot chocolate and coffee cake was really nice. ...the only criticism I have is that the hot chocolate was served in a paper cup. Would have like it to be served in a pot cup. A nice place to have a quick drink.

Visited here on two occasions during our visit as it offered friendly service and a good selection of food for light lunches

Pleasant but fairly ordinary cafe. Limited range of food and drink. Friendly staff. Quite reasonable prices.

After "doing" the museum we were as a family much in need of a coffee and stopped off here and had sarnies,cakes and much to my surpise they sold bottles of Peroni beer which at 11.00am on a wet and windy Sunday morning was most welcome.Not cheap but well worth it and good size pieces of cake.

An average café with slightly inflated prices. Better to walk to the Museum nearby and use their excellent café, which serves good snacks and drinks at reasonable prices.

A really good looking place and with a steady stream of visitors from the adjacent Liverpool Museum, it's such a shame that more is not made of this place. Although not overly busy, the serving area seemed quite disorganised and my request for a baked potato with cheese ( from the menu) seemed to cause general confusion all round. I don't know why. The potato was ok -could have done with some salad to accompany it. I wasn't overly impressed with the other food on offer. There are many alternatives in the Albert Dock for lunch or coffee and I am sorry that I chose this one

we only had coffee and cake here but good food and well priced and the shop was interesting but cheaper priced souveniers in albert dock!

Called in for a cuppa and indulged in a piece of short bread....delicious.Friendly staff and service was quick. Outside there is a picnic area where you can take your own food. Unusual these days.

We visited this cafe whilst waiting for the ferry. Thought the price of the tea at £2.00 was a bit steep as the coffee was cheaper. They were serving it in paper cups which I don't like at all so asked for a proper cup and was told they were short staffed so that is why they were using the paper ones, but after saying I didn't want a paper one gave me a pot one. My husband had the chocolate which was undrinkable so I gave it back. Was offered another one but declined. There was no apology and no refund. Won't visit again.

Nice setting nice staff nice time spent, wod recommend you also try. Liverpool really has so much to offer every one.

Rotten coffee, rude staff and poor value.We stopped for a much needed coffee after a day out in Liverpool, seeing The Three Queens event, taking a tour and walking. Admittedly the Three Queens event had bought many visitors to the area but to be short of milk, have areas of seating closed and then charge full price for what was a terrible cup of sludge is not on. We asked for seats and were rudely refused even though there were plenty vacant beyond the cordoned off areas. Staff refused to make Lattes as they were short of milk! Managers please take note, you should have anticipated greater demands, the event was well publicised. I would have rated one star less but one member of staff was OK and it was clear he had had an exhausting day.

A great introduction to Liverpool at the Ferry Terminal, Pier Head. A coffee shop dedicated to the Fab Four Beatles. Considering its excellent location the prices are still a lot cheaper than the usual high street coffee chains. A good place to chill out waiting for the Mersey Ferry or simply having a cake and a cuppa.Tip: Don't miss the official Beatles Store on the top panoramic floor ...... this is the best Beatles Shop in Liverpool (believe me I have trailed round them all) and has an endless range of goodies and gifts.

visited with family late december. great place.nice to hear the old songs. staff very attentive.manager so helpful and informed us of local amenities.will return next year. love love we do !

Not sure if this is the same café; it's in the ferry terminal building. There are better cafés in the Albert Dock area.
