After entering the premises and asking for a vegan choice the waitresses had no clue about any of the food. Surely they should be told before the service of the day. We were then told no food for an hour. Again, surely they could have taken our order and just supplied us with a drink. Nobody that I know of denies custom today. The people who owned the farm a few years ago were always friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Me and my family have been here quite a lot since the change but I don't know why we do as it is always the same. Don't refuse custom and please be friendly.

I only live around the corner so is lovely to have this on my doorstep. I'm behaving myself with food of late and so I plumped for the healthier breakfast...and wasn't disappointed. Not sure how many calories it comes in at but I left feeling full but not bloated...did the job perfectly.

Came with my daughter for breakfast on Saturday morning. I had the full English and my daughter had the smaller breakfast and pancakes. All I can say is the food was superb. We are local to the area and would say this is definitely the best coffee shop/breakfast around. Canât recommend highly enough.Thanks

Very pleasant surroundings with beautiful views as far as the river Mersey. Brunch in the Spikes Bar was okay but the menu has been much reduced including the disappearance of the scrumptious turkey and cranberry sandwiches. No festive afternoon teas being served this year also a disappointment. Hopefully the new year will see a review of the menu. Also £2.25 for a small bottle of Coca Cola is rather excessive.

I quite often bemoan that there is nowhere really good to gofor breakfast in St Helens town centre...there is Vigour (but it doesn't open until 11am)...there is Lily's Victorian tea room (but that has gone so downhill it is virtually at the Albert Docks)...and then I discover the wonderfully named 'Phoenix Plant Based Eatery'. Tucked away opposite the Theatre Royal and adjoining the bus station in St Helens' tiny alternative Bohemian quarter, this establishment has somehow eluded me for all this time.Upon arrival there was a friendly greeting and the whole place has a wonderful charm and delightful feel about it. I ordered the 'full English' and this being a vegan cafe I was assuming I would get the standard, and often, tasteless non-meat alternative...I was wrong...very wrong. The presentation was lovely...the sausage was so flavoursome and the fake bacon was a masterpiece (I asked the owner afterwards what was in it and the process that she goes through to get the look of streaky bacon is mind-boggling laborious...but so tasty). There was a frittata which was lovely too...and the scrambled not-eggs was well....well it tasted like scrambled eggs without eggs so meh!!! I had a go at least. All accompanied by a delicious cup of coffee...they had run out of almond milk and so I had it black and it was just right, not bitter at all.All this with an accompaniment of whale sounds...no I jest, it was Dean Martin I think...it was changed after a while to something a little less croonery.If this place was in the Bohemian quarter of Liverpool or Manchester then I would say this was a really good place to hang-out and get away from it all, and would stand out from the rest there....as this place is in St Helens, it damn near screams at me to call in. I shall definitely be back, if only for a cup of coffee and a mooch around the upcycling, vintage shop upstairs. I am also keen to return for one of their vegan Pimblett's pies and sample the hype. So glad I have found this place...it really did make my day.

Been here several times now and its a really nice place. Lovely friendly staff who are so helpful. The food is tasty and well presented. The soup is really good, I have the soup and an egg sandwich and also like the little tartlet and salad. Its all fresh and homemade as are the cakes. The chocolate cake is delicious. I do wish they would change the variety of cake flavours though as it always seems the same 3 or 4 types. I love homemade cake so would love to try more!Its a small cafe and always busy so it is best to book as ive seen they have had to turn people away.

We just can't keep away from here, becoming regulars. The food, whether it be high tea, curry, breakfast, scones or cake is top notch. Everything is good quality at a very reasonable price - love it!
