Yot Cafe in Wirral

Great outdoor spot for coffee and snacks. A unique setting with a variety of outdoor seating. New ownership is doing a great job and deserves success.

My first visit to this amazing hidden gem, introduced by my friend. Incredibly dog friendly and all in a quirky setting, such a beautiful garden hideaway. Food amazing too and lovely staff.

I popped in for a crafty coffee, scone and a sit down. The coffee came in reasonable time but no sign of the scone. After I had drunk the coffee( slowly as I was hoping to eat along side the food) the waitress came to apologise for the delay. She then brought the food apologising profusely. I asked for a free refill but was told via the manager this would not be forthcoming. I finished the scone off and left , never to return. Poor show and customer care.

Discovered this little gem earlier this year and have been back numerous times for breakfast after walking in the area. Last visit of the year today and tried the hot chocolate, which was absolutely gorgeous. Will be making more return visits in 2024. A thanks to the staff for their friendly and polite service, have a happy new year.

Several people have said that there are long waits for service. This was absolutely not our experience. We also visited on a Sunday. We ordered without queuing at the counter and had hardly taken our seats when the coffee and cakes arrived. Agree that the coffee could be hotter but generally a lovely coffee break in a lovely setting b

Over 25 minutes to wait for two coffees ‘to go’ is simply unacceptable no queue when I ordered do not understand how it can take so long very poor

It’s a real shame that this place is so chaotic and disorganised. It’s a Sunday afternoon, the place is full and they can’t cope. People waiting 30 mins for their drinks. The waiting staff are wandering around like lost souls trying to match drinks to customers - which is hard to understand given every table has a number on it? There is only one person (a young lad) on the coffee machine and he seems stressed as anything trying to cope. I hope they get themselves organised and staff trained up soon otherwise they’ll be closing down!

A pleasant place for a pit-stop when venturing down the Wirral Way. This dog-friendly cafe has lots of outdoor seating and shelter for rainy days. There is a small range of lunch options and snacks but veggie/vegan options are quite limited. We were hoping to have lunch but the only available lunch dishes contained cheese and/or meat. The staff are friendly but unfortunately the fresh orange juice we ordered was lukewarm, as was the coffee. One of us ordered a smoothie but it needed longer in the blender (there were lots of chunks). If quality of drinks and food could be improved, this could be a really nice place.

Visited this little cafe near the Wirral Way with friends . Lovely coffee and cakes and very polite, friendly and efficient young staff even though cafe was very busy. A real find and worth a visit. It allows dogs as well which is a bonus for dog walkers. Seating is all outdoors in a pretty garden area with lots of covered areas.

This was our first time at Yot I went with my wife and two teenage children. The setting is mostly outdoors and is beautiful but relaxed and informal. For drinks we had coffees which I found out later was their own unique blend and was incredible. The food came promptly and was really great quality and the portions were generous and definitely value for money. My wife and daughter are vegetarians and there were plenty of options. Ice creams from the ice cream parlour were a wonderful way to end our meal. We will definitely be returning.

Nice setting but poor service and the coffee and other drinks aren't great compared with other coffee shops. Staff training to make them customer focused and on better sourcing/presentation of coffee etc would help.

This was a fortunate, accidental find - three of us out walking just happened upon this delightful gem. Having been walking the Wirral Way for two hours, we were delighted to come across this delight venue. Beautiful and private, the garden’s covered, portable booths and sheltered tables dotted around the roomy outdoor space were complemented by beautifully lit spots at the darker end of the area with a tranquil, covered, enclosed, further eating area. The service was faultless. We had hot drinks and and a variety of warm, filled ciabattas that were delicious. The interior was spotless and the staff so pleasant. It was a wonderful experience and a superb place for us to refuel ourselves for the return walk home to Meols! We spoke with the lady owner as we left. What a delightful story she had as to how the business came to be. But you can ask her all about that when you visit! Mad if you don’t! Highly recommended. Next time, I’ll take the wife. And the dog - it’s dog friendly, too! We spoke with the lady owner as we left. What a delightful story she had as to how the business came to be. But you can ask her all about that when you visit! Mad if you don’t!

the food is generally ok but the service is slow and dismissive. pity really becasue this could be so good and quirky.

This was our first and last visit to Yot. We came in when it was at bery best 1/5 full. There were 5 staff in the cafe and I ordered tea, coffee and cakes. The cakes came out within minutes but then we waited for 25 minutes for the drinks. We tried to wave down the staff a couple of times but they were primarily staring at their phones. We were having doing in to dogs hence not really wanting to get up and turn it into self service.

Came across this cafe by accident while on a walk in the area. The outdoor seating area is very quirky with interesting German ‘strandkorb’ seats. We only had time for coffee to start with but made sure we were back at the end of the walk for ice creams (which were scrummy!). The staff were really friendly and we will certainly be travelling the 50-odd miles back to try out a proper lunch here!

Really nice cafe, lovely food and a great vibe, however the service was very slow. Not a problem if you have plenty of time and the sun is shining.

What a great place this is! The service is always great and it's an excellent spot for lunch. Yøt always have a good selection of savory choices and desserts. Pleasant surroundings and right next to the Wirral Way and beach.

Fantastic cafe run by a quirky owner. Food and service spot on. A great addition to Wirral cafe scene. The baby liked her ice cream too! Only criticism is the soup is weirdly expensive 🤷🏼‍♂️

Lovely place to visit, especially if the weather is good, the dog loves it too. The food is good, nicely presented, and the staff are friendly too.

This is a lovely little cafe with a good menu but the service is poor. Visited just after 11am today and ordered coffee as decided too early for lunch! 25 minutes later received our coffee - should have ordered lunch!

We were on our way to another place to have lunch near the beach but someone recommended Yot. So glad they did. I had one of the best salad dishes ever. So varied and tasty. My husband had a sausage chiabata. Both really enjoyed the...

Our first visit to YOT and we will certainly be returning.. Food was excellent, my husband had scotch egg and our friend had bacon ciabatta. Tea and coffee excellent, and staff helpful and friendly. Quirky little shelters dotted around an enclosed shady space. Its a...

Had a lovely light late lunch today here. Food is really tasty. Especially the vegan sausage rolls (I bought one to take out too). Various hot food dishes and scrumptious cakes. Service excellent and a fab outside area. Perfect place to walk to off the...

Scouse! Loved it! Have visited a few times and can recommend without hesitation. Great food and lovely staff!

Went in to order, got ignored for around 2-3 minutes despite there being no other customers in the premises and two members of staff on their phones. Eventually I had to interrupt to order. Ordered and waiting for our drinks and cakes. Unfortunately the hot...

Wonderful location, on the Wirral coast, almost on the beach. We walked from Thurstaston visitor centre along the Wirral Way and dropped down to Heswall shore . Lovely little coffee shop/cafe serving delicious home made food and excellent coffee. Really unique setting with quirky seating...

Came across the YOT purely by accident. What a great find. Home cooked food, amazing array of cakes. Food made to order if needed. Lots of room outside. Quirky seating areas. Spotless loo. Had cake and delicious hot chocolate. We’ll be back for proper lunch...

This is great place to visit with lovely food. Good lord, the tea and coffee is disgusting. I dont know whether it is the water they use but whatever it is, they need to sort it out.

A little known walkers gem of a cafe hidden away near Sheldrakes in Heswall. One of a few places that specialises in vegan and vegetarian food and cakes of a very high standard, and cappuccino that actually tastes the way it is supposed to! Some...

Reasonable coffee, nice cakes/etc, often a long wait even when not that busy! Covered seating, but no indoor seating.

Seating either outdoor or under cover. Staff are great and welcoming. Pies, salads, cakes, merrangues, paninis are all brilliant but my favourite is the black pudding scotch egg.

Lovely, little gem of a cafe. Lovely concept tucked away in lower Heswall, further up from Sheldrakes and adjacent to free car park. We cycled from Neston along thd Wirral way and came off at Banks Road, only a 2 min cycle by boke to...

Lovely as always! Really enjoy the sweet potato scotch egg, really imaginative! And the cakes always tempting! Lots of shelter from the sun, open spaces, fab menu, excellent service, can’t be beaten on location either! A must visit when walking the Wirral way!

Local produce, great coffee, tasty menu and friendly staff. An outdoor cafe situated down a lane which leads to the seashore/Dee estuary. Picnic tables and plenty of room.

3 off us called here today for afternoon tea. lovely spot, great food and excellent staff, do yourself a favour and get down there!

Sadly really disappointed. Ordered a sausage ciabatta - 2 cold sliced sausages in a luke warm roll. Bland to say the least so one bite and it was left. The tuna mozzarella wasn’t any better, nor the 2 flat white coffees. Nice setting, dog friendly...

Visited this place for the second time. It’s location is great, just a short stroll to the Dee estuary. There is plenty of varied seating options and despite being busy, it didn’t feel like it. The drinks and food are delicious, as is the cake....

Really very nice location and cafe set up next to the Dee Estuary, well chosen local produce and friendly service , well laid out seating area that is spacious and welcoming. A really lovely place for coffee , cake and a good range of local...

Some 16 or so members of our VMCC Section, including several wives and a grandchild had a 'ride-out' to the Yot Cafe on Wednesday, 21st July. Tghis was our first visit to the Yot but it won't be our last one, that's for sure! The...

Visited today with my little dog, both of us a bit muddy. Delicious salad & coffee, warm friendly welcome & one of the lovely waiting staff helped me get a grass seed out of my dog's eye. So kind, thank you.

Well worth a visit. Fantastic welcome as soon as we entered the garden. Really friendly helpful staff. Lovely home made food. We really enjoyed our visit and will be going back again soon

On a warm sunny day, there are not many places as good as this for lunch. The quality of salads and pastries are second to none. I recommend the scotch eggs. They are the finest that I have ever tasted! This is a great venue....

Quirky and cool with fabulous service, first class coffee and top quality food. We were here for late breakfast but the lunch offering looked terrific too. It’s dog friendly with lovely staff, even by the standards of The Wirral which seems about the friendliest place...

The coffee served here is the best I have tasted!!! Once you sit down, you won't want to leave. There's something magic about this place; it's relaxing and friendly. The staff are warm, friendly and happy to be there. Very dog friendly 🐶🐶 too. Absolutely...

Absolutely lovely cafe. Really nice staff. The surroundings are great, nice place to chat, eat and relax. Love it . Great food and drinks x

What a little gem of a place. The owner was really helpful as my mum is in a wheelchair and she arranged a table on the paved area so I didn’t have to push her on the gravel. The food was really fresh. Didn’t have...

Beautiful cafe near the shore. Amazing looking food. Google said they shut at 5 but when we arrived at 4.15 they were closing. Gutted! But they very kindly still let us buy ice creams and sit in the lovely garden. Kid’s disappointment averted, thank you...

This was our first post lockdown lunch out the house and it was terrible. I respect how much effort has gone into setting this venu up. If the food was nice this place would be great. So take note!! It is a very limited food...

Visited on Saturday with my work friends and have to say this place is a gem absolutely first class. The vegan menu is superb so the vegan member of our party was delighted. It's such a friendly place and not at all snooty we are...

We have really enjoyed walking to Yot for lunch during the lock downs but on the last 2 occasions we have been there the food has been awful. The food used to be really lovely, but now it only serves really greasy pies, sausage rolls,...

Great little place! YOT has been a revelation since the start of the pandemic. Serving the finest local food and excellent coffee in a safe environment. Obvious that a lot of work has gone into making the venue a success. Highly recommended 🤓

Had yummy home made lentil soup today with a friend. Loved the outdoor seating. Good service. Would defo go again!!

So glad we visited this newly opened establishment, it is a great addition to the area. Great for walkers and cyclists being close to the Wirral Way, with ample free parking adjacent also. Having walked six miles to get there I had built up an...

My husband and I had lunch here today. We were not impressed at all. The menu is very limited, fine if you like pastry or ciabatta ( I like neither). The table we sat at was not cleared until our food arrived, and there was...

First time here, Yot is obviously a new venture but we were so impressed. Friendly and efficient staff, great coffee, beautiful location and the food was excellent. Well done Yot, great cafe and definitely on our ‘go to’ list. Super savouries from Nova, really tasty.

What a lovely find. Great coffee, great food, great service and a beautiful location. Any cycle clubs looking for a coffee and cake stop , look no further , Great for families and Covid aware

Well worth a visit even when not too sunny very popular. Near to the beach and the Wirral Way ideal for the walkers r boat builders.

Lovely little cafe tucked away in a hidden corner of Heswall. Welcoming staff who are not short of witty jokes to bring a smile to your face. Dog friendly with 4 water bowls so your pooch isn't short of a drink! As for the food...

Stopped off on a bike ride to this new cafe. Staff were super friendly and food was amazing. A great place for walkers, bikers and sod lovers 😊

Super little cafe near Heswall shore. Plenty of outdoor seating some of which is a little 'unusual'. Great coffee and super snacks on offer and attentive staff. Open just a couple of weeks and already extremely popular, well done!

Lovely new cafe! Stumbled across this cafe when on a walk on the Wirral way. Amazing set up, lots of outdoor seating (very aesthetic), and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming (and following covid guidelines extremely well). Can’t wait to visit again deffo...
