This quaint little coffee bar/eatery is a nice addition to the Birkdale area.
They have a great selection of coffees as well as sandwiches and other dishes that looked great when I read them on the wall.
There is plenty of seating, though a few rugs I think would tone down the noise as when I was there a group of folks were meeting (good sign), but with all the concrete floors I had to raise my voice a bit to talk to my GF sitting beside me.
Folks are friendly and food and drinks are served promptly. Interesting thing about the coffee...they serve the cups with cork (or what appeared to be cork) sleeves? Not sure how green this is or perhaps it is more green than cardboard sleves, but when I looked in the trash throwing my cup away it just looked a bit weird to see all those nice cork sleeves just going to land fill?????

"UPDATE: Sue the owner was nice enough to reach out to me and provide some background on the cork sleeves...........
Quick Cork Facts:
* Cork is one of the most environmentally friendly materials in the world.
* Cork is harvested simply by peeling off the outer layer of bark of the cork oak.
* The bark grows back within nine years and the tree actually benefits from being farmed by giving it a longer life.
* Cork trees that are harvested can live over 200 years.
* Cork oak forests create a unique habitat that is home to many endangered species such as the Iberian lynx and the imperial eagle in Europe and the Golden Takin and Golden Monkey in the Quinling Mountains of Central Asia.
* Cork's cellular structure is what gives it its unique properties as 60% of it is air trapped between fibers.
* It is hypoallergenic, recyclable, biodegradable, insulating and waterproof.................................................... "

But don't let that sway you from visiting this great little place.......once it gets warm, hopefully they'll put out seating out front!
