For a dainty, traditional English cafe, look no further than Emma's Coffee Shop in Lower Heswall…read moreVillage. It's one of them cafe's that definitely isn't a greasy spoon! Its decor is floral and old fashioned, the food is homemade and fantastic and the staff are lovely and helpful. The cafe has a lot of regulars that nip in at the weekends, and a lot of them are little old dears from around and about Heswall, therefore there is an air of familiarity when you eat here. They serve homemade soup, homemade quiches, a selection of sandwiches and a selection of salads. They also stock a selection of homemade cakes, these are amazing, last time I went we tried the carrot cake and the coffee and walnut cakes, both were incredible! The owner is lovely and she came over and spoke to us for a while, very friendly and very happy with her lovely little cafe!

Linghams Heswall is the original of the two Wirral based independent bookshops, and indeed the…read morebest! There is a great intellectual atmosphere within this bookshop, one unrivalled by larger chain stores such as Borders and Waterstones. It's as though all the staff have been vetted for their intelligence and knowledge before being allowed on the shop floor, rather than just handed a job because they're prepared to work for minimum wage. Linghams has been in Heswall over 20 years and continues to thrive as the local community support the store! They have a great little cafe serving homemade delicacies towards the back of the store, and they can order any book with an ISBN number. The only problem is, you'll probably find any book that they sell much cheaper on the internet. I guess that's why even the bigger bookshops are in decline. Long live Linghams! They have all the sections you'd expect to see in a huge book store!

I love this little book shop company. I've been in the one in West Kirby as well. The staff seem…read morevery attentive and friendly. It reminds me of the movie You've Got Mail. This particular Linghams has a very nice café in the back. I was really impressed by the layout and style of the café. It looks very homey, yet posh with dark wood round tables and a long bar, behind which are arranged all sorts of yummy looking teas, coffees, and even some potted jams for sale if I remember correctly. There is a great children's area which includes some small toys and plushies for sale as well as books, and I really like the local books section, as well as the poetry section as you will find some local authors in both including poetry chapbooks. Great shop.

The Fig Tree has been around for a good few years now and is a decent little cafe to visit if…read moreyou're strolling through Pensby. In fact I think it may be the only little cafe in Pensby, so they've certainly got the market lead there! They serve a range of coffees and teas as well as a selection of sandwiches and jacket potatoes. The food is fresh and tasty and the prices are inexpensive compared to bigger, branded coffee shops. They also offer a bespoke outside catering service to order. They can provide any amount of catering for any event or occasion and will give quotations and menu suggestions on request. I remember getting the first bus home from a night out and going in here for a black coffee and a cigarette years before the smoking ban. Now I feel old!

Cant say I agree at the comment it looks a little grim from the outside !!! The cafe is a great…read morelittle shop and the staff are always friendly and chatty. The food is very cheap considering the portion sizes and I must say that unlike other cafes, which typically sell your usual , this cafe sells a wide range of meals and Sunday lunches. I hear nothing but praise for The Fig Tree and know of people that travel from out of the area just to visit. Keep up the good work guys!!!!

Absolutely awful experience. The coffee shop smells of sewage or sprouts. The tables are sticky…read more And then the tea. Well that was on another level of bad. They took the teabag out before they brought it to me and they served it in a latte glass with a latte spoon. It tasted as bad as it sounded. What a horrific place.

This a sweet little coffee shop located very close to the bus station on Telegraph Road. It's…read morefairly new to Heswall, and I have to say they've done an excellent job setting up shop. They look very professional, and right up there with the big guys. I hope they give the Costa up the road a run for their money. They offer only a small selection of sandwiches and Panini's, but the choices are nice. I had a tomato, ham, and cheese Panini, and my husband had a brie, bacon, and mango chutney one. They were both delicious. They do a great selection of cakes and desserts here as well, and they are definitely on a par with what you would find served in both big shops like Costa and other independent ones that do homemade treats. My husband had tiffin and I had cappuccino cake--which was more like a fudge with a biscuit layer in it than a cake. So tasty, but oh so rich. The prices here were reasonable, and I really enjoyed having lunch here rather than the usual Costa which was what we had planned when got off the bus and saw it ... This was much preferable!

It gets quiet and at times you feel like an imposter but I think that comes down to the location and not anything else!

What a great idea, you actually have to walk through the chocolate infested Cafe to get to the post office and send off your letters. Who can resist a bar of choc and a freshly ground coffee before the long walk back to the Tesco car park to drive home. What's more, you can get a box on continental chocolates to take home with you on your way out! There are Thorntons everywhere, but not many of them have a successful little cafe attached to them. In fact, the Thorntons Cafe inside Liverpool central station is always quiet when I pass it by, so it's nice to see this one booming in the heart of Heswall!
