The Sweet Pea Cafe - WIRRAL

Good coffee and very nice simple eats. The warmth of the place was not what it was a couple of years ago but dont know why. Didnt seem so cosy happy firendly. Was certainly one of the best places in West Kirby tho adn would visit regularly.

Visited on saturday and had a choice of Sweet Pea Cafe, Hannahs and Green Onions and really wish we had chosen one of the other two now. Firstly the order kept being checked as they took it down wrong 3 times. We were ordering a sandwich which according to the menu came with a small side of chips and a salad however we then noticed that for an extra £1.50 you could have a bowl of soup with this so decided that was a good option instead of a drink. When it arrived there were no chips or salad and the bowl of soup was half the size of a standard bowl of soup. The sandwich was just sat in the middle of the plate looking rather sad with no attempt to make it look appealing. I think if you are going to specify 'add a bowl of soup to the sandwich for £1.50 you should specify that if you do, you won 't get the chips and salad too which makes it a completely different order. Yes, you think you are getting a better deal for having soup for an extra £1.50 but in comparison to the regular bowl of soup then you are getting half the soup and then losing the chips and salad too. They do takeaway and the sandwich price for takeaway was half the sit down price so we basically paid £5 to sit in per person too ! Really not good value at over £10 for a basic sandwich and small bowl of soup. Definitely wont be returning at all, Hannahs or Green Onions for us next time. As we were with family the total bill was £49 and really not worth it at all, in fact a complete rip off.

Rude sullen staff: 'is that ALL you are ordering?? ' Bizarre menu: ordered advertised soup and a cheese sandwich, 'we don 't do cheese sandwich. You must order cheese on toast '. Four staff, one one other customer besides my husband and I, we waited over 15 minutes. We walked out, and will never go back there, just 100% terrible!!

Order: The bacon, chicken and avocado salad, warm goat cheese salad and two flat whites. The avocado was as a mush and dark and the salad was tired. We were told that the reason that the avocado was like this is because of added lemon juice; things that raise suspicion by telling a lie. The coffee that is used to make the flat white could have been of better quality. The cook was rather defensive but there was no problem in us leaving and payment was readily waved. A great shame as we used to love this place.

Popped into the Sweet Pea cafe for lunch. It was great to see that they were able to deliver a fantastic service, whilst following the COVID restrictions. The staff were delightful, the food was fantastic. I will most certainly be returning.
