"There’s a reason why this place is busy on random week days - it’s always a go-to in Hoole for breakfast or lunch, and the mini garden centre is great for exploring whilst you wait for your food. Dogs are welcome, which is handy for us. We have bought several plants from Oakells, both at the mini shop in Hoole and the much larger main garden centre 20 minutes away"

"Food and service here all very good but let's itself down on small cups for coffee!! Please I invest in larger cups which will reflect in reasonable price"

"Easily found a table on a Saturday lunch time, the customer service was great and the food absolutely lovely (we had the pastrami, emmental and sweet mustard bagel, goats cheese and caramelised red onion toasted sandwich and poached eggs on toast each with a drink which came to £35, I do wish the bagel had come with a small salad like the toastie did) The shop, cafe and garden are all fully accessible (including wheel chairs and prams). Indoor and outfoor seating areas, Reasonable prices. Nice ambiance. Will definitely come again."

"This was our second visit and the food and service wasn't as perfect as it was on our first visit. The vegan breakfast was just warm and we had to wait a while for our table to be cleared from previous visitors. We will be back and hopefully it will be back up to 5 stars"
