I consider Merseyside to be one of the neighbourhood gems! Very friendly service, great coffee (love their cappuccino!), tasty sandwiches and amaaaazing scones (the apple and cheddar is a perfect mix of sweet and savoury). HUGE plus for giving off that neighbourly vibe without any pretentiousness.
It's a nice quiet coffeeshop with a good amount of seating and plenty of natural light. They were also super accommodating with a last minute sandwich order for a wedding. They managed to grill everything, package them into shareable quarters, and still be fresh by the time we picked them up. Everyone loved the flavour and options, and tried a little bit of everything. The boureka got some really high praise.
This coffeeshop has definitely become my go to for my caffeine and baked good needs. :)
