Ruben’s Coffee Shop

Nice looking place which is also good for people watching on the outskirts of Heswall — I found it a bit limited for food but it was after lunch time and notices did show that I could have asked so no real criticism there! It gets quiet and at times you feel like an imposter but I think that comes down to the location and not anything else! There are bigger chain coffee shops locally which are positioned closer to the village centre!

This a sweet little coffee shop located very close to the bus station on Telegraph Road. It’s fairly 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!
