Great place, friendly staff, great with toddler. And food well priced. Good breakfast cooked fresh. Nice you could sit outside.

Their selection of cakes is fantastic—fresh, homemade, and absolutely delicious. Whether you're after a light bite or something sweet, The Kitchen never disappoints. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful spot with great food!"
Lovely little place in Formby with simple small menu. ordered the quiche and it was home made with fresh tomatoes onnthat I really enjoyed, this along with the home made coleslaw and salad with dressing was a lovely little lunch. The latte tasted lovely as well . The home made scones and clotted cream and jam are delish.
A lovely cafe, with friendly staff and delicious food to eat in or take away. Omelette with curly fries is my favourite, whilst my partner has the all-day breakfast. We have been here several times for dine in or take away bacon or sausage baps, and have not been disappointed yet!
A great place for breakfasts and lunches. Hot and cold meals. Not very good for wheelchairs but can accommodate a couple in downstairs eating area. My husband and I have been coming here for a few years. Staff are very friendly, nothing too much for them. Food cooked fresh. Hot or cold food is delicious and well presented. We visit most weeks, after shopping, and we love it there.
The nicest little cafe - great food! We came here on Christmas Eve, just before my partner popped the question! Was delicious. Always have a special place in my heart now. x
Great food nice staff i go to the kitchen once a week with two clients i support in the community they love the place as they care about all their customers attention to detail as they always remember who eats what . Brilliant
I was fortunate that Dapa had no food, as it made me go in here. A lovely place with happy smiling staff. I was seen to, in perfect time and enjoyed hearing the conversation between the young person working and their customers, very friendly. I ordered a vegetarian breakfast, not because I am a vegetarian, simply because it sounded lovely. Also an americanoto drink. It came pretty quick, whilst I enjoyed catching up on emails using the free WiFi. Food was perfectly cooked and really warm. The flavour through all of the breakfast was delicious. I went to pay and again surrounded by smiles. Left feeling rested, full, and happy.
