Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

There is a close car park with disabled places. Reasonable prices from a good cafe menu. I greatly enjoyed the all day breakfast at £9, especially the toast using granary bread and black pudding.

Eaten here for years but recently seen a massive jump in price I know everywhere has but some stuff has gone up £5 per item and it works out same as a pub lunch in just a cafe. The staff are lovely the food is...great just think they have jumped up prices a little too high could be reviewed at some point to keep your customersMore

We dropped in here for breakfast and had a very enjoyable meal which was very tasty - huge slices of toast along with decent bacon, sausage etc. The cafe was very busy even though it was a Wednesday morning, we were lucky to get a...seat. The service was a bit slow but this was to be expected given that the place was full. Prices were slightly above average for the type of food, in my view. The cafe seems to be popular with locals, mums, workmen - all types which is good to see. There's a useful and cheap car park out the back where we easily found a space. Also plenty of other lovely little shops and small businesses close by on the quaint Victorian streets of Hoole (Faulkner Street and others). Would certainly visit again.More

I ordered my Caesar salad when I went to cafe.com on Monday. it looked lovely and I was delighted to look at the presentation but then i moved a leaf with my fork i saw a nail clipping. I'm not going to say i was...too ecstatic to find this. I called over a server and showed them it. they then tried to convince mt that this extremely obvious nail was actually a part of my salad. i am utterly disgusted that they are unhygeinic enough to clip their nails in the kitchen. as well as trying to feed them ton unsuspecting customers. the worst part was when she picked up the clipping, putting her fingers in my meal, and then proceeding to put it in her mouth! never come to cafe.com.More
