Family owned/style cafe. All ages welcome. Long established and a popular spot for locals. Great coffees and value for money meals. Very friendly and fast service. Free parking in front and around. Recommending a try.

I'd like to express my gratitude to have such a nice cafe out there. Definitely warm and welcoming atmosphere. The value for the money is unbeatable, considering how prices have raised in the sorounding areas. I've started having medium flat whites and the size is big, price is great. Today I've eaten a nice toast with 3 ingredients of my choice and it was well made. Please note that the approach is a homemade dish, which is great. I don't tend to go to places to see MasterChef decorations to justify high prices. What I do care is flavour, quality of food and service, not to mention the price. So this is the place to go for me and I've become a regular. I'm quite surprised that this place isn't packed, but hopefully you read this and support this business.

Best value and best tasting flat white in Birkenhead High Street. I drank there several time over our stay and the flat white was perfect. The right temperature, strength and smoothness even in their jacuzzi size bucket mug for only $5.50! A delicious bargain.
