Bramleys is a great tea room, or "coffee house" rather. I think it appeals to older people and is…read moreideal for mum and daugter rather than, a date for example; it's cute not cool. But that's not criticism, I really like it here. With its huge selection of cakes adn proper afternoon tea (with extra pots of hot water) Bramley's is really traditional which is appealing. It's a really bright cafe despite being found just off the covered wheatsheaf walk. Service is faultless; the staff are friendly but efficient and there's a much more sociable feel here than in the multinational coffee shops. The prices area cheaper too! There's good access and space for prams and wheelchairs

They give you another hot water so you can make many cuppa. They put many lovely cakes on showcase and I always find it difficult to choose one. The staff is very friendly and polite.

I had cheese on toast, which was chunky and strong, while my hungry niece had a milkshake and afternoon cream tea. She couldn't finish, so we helped her with the excellent slice of chocolate cake. Coffee is good, too, and the service is friendly, even when the place is packed. It did feel a little tight, though.

From one side, Taylor's looks like a perfectly normal newsagent. The only problem is that, from…read morethe other side, it looks like a perfectly normal little café. This is because the shop itself is half newsagent half café. This unusual but handy feature in the shop means that you can buy your weekly copy of Heat before popping next door and reading it all with a cup of tea. The selection of magazines in the newsagents is pretty varied without offering anything too obscure like Knitting Weekly, and their sweets and drinks there are competitive and pretty cheap. The café side is pretty simple but cosy enough, with Taylor's offering its customers a small selection of hot and cold refreshments and snacks whilst you sit and watch the world go by through Ormskirk village. Both sides of the shop are reasonably-sized, meaning they can fit plenty in there without making you feel too cramped. A decent place to go for your glossies or a cup of tea.

I find this impressive for an independent newsagent. The shop was clean, well arranged, and reminiscent of the big guys, but in a good way.

It's quite strange really; my dad's quite the atheist, but his brother (my uncle, obviously) is the total opposite. Thankfully, Café Verde is not a church but is situated in an old church house. It offers all its customers a comfortable dining atmosphere (that's right, comfort in a church) whilst they enjoy a range of hot and cold refreshments. The menu there features the usual snacks you'd expect from small local cafes like this, such as sandwiches, panninis and bagels as well as a small selection of daily specials and hot meals like homemade soup and quiche. Their desserts are also particularly delicious, with their sweet homemade apple crumble being well worth the money. Their prices are very reasonable too, meaning you can get lovely home cooking for a very small price.

I went here with my mother for a light lunch as she had been before with friends. The menu…read moreselection is ok for a small cafe, however the waiting time for the food was ridiculous. The place was not overly busy and I ordered a teacake and a drink for my mother and also ordered beans and cheese on white toast for myself. There were 3 people working behind the counter and it took 10 minutes to receive our drinks. There was a further 10 minutes before my mother received her teacake. When this arrived at the table, I was expecting my order to arrive too. It did not. After 30 minutes of sitting and waiting for my beans and cheese on toast, it finally arrived, was thrown in front of me and a short, sharp "sorry for your wait" accompanied from the owner. I ate the food, by which time my mother had eaten her teacake and had needed to go finish her shopping before the parking time limit was reached. As I ate, I noticed the baked beans were lukewarm and the cheese on top had no chance of melting due to the temperature of the beans. The toast could have been very nice, as it was a hand cut super thick slice of a tin loaf. Unfortunately, this was partly burnt. I did not have time to return it and was suffering from acid indigestion at this point, so needed to just eat the food and leave. This was my first experience at Cafe Verde and it will undoubtedly be my last.

Coffee up to the chains normal standard but if you add a biscuit or cake it can work out a fair bit more expensive than other cafes around.

As the name suggests, Fresh To Go is a cosy little café next door to the busy Indoor Market in Ormskirk which offers good, tasty home cooking that is available at very reasonable prices. I originally was drawn to the Extra Large 'Belly Buster' breakfast which is both deliciously greasy and incredibly filling, well worth the money. Their chips there are also very pleasant and have a great homemade flavour to them. Their other dishes are what you'd expect from a place like this, but do drop in as their specials can change on a daily basis. They also offer the usual range of hot and cold drinks as well as a modest selection of sweets and desserts including ice cream and sugary sweet cakes. A very pleasant place to go for some breakfast, lunchtime or afternoon refreshments.

Would not return or recommend.
