It's a nice place. But the service is too slow. Was not even busy. Took at least 10 mins for a coffee to arrive after ordering. I'm not sure it's correct to charge £2.50 for a can of Fanta either. That makes beer look cheap

Popped in for a quiet coffee mid morning. Not possible as it was very full, and ruined by irresponsible dog owners. With the exception of guide dogs, no others should be allowed in any establishment that sells food.

This is a good place for coffee. Lucky enough to be able to sit outside overlooking the marshes and Dee Estuary. It is a very popular place. Excellent selection of drinks and food. It does get busy, but worth the wait.

Love the ambience of this place in the late afternoon and evening. If you're lucky, you'll get a table by the panoramic front windows, or you may choose to hang out in the brilliantly secluded courtyard at the rear. The whole place is tastefully decorated and comfortable as well as being dog friendly. Look out for the dogs gallery (photo wall) and doggy treat jar. On offer is a decent range of food, bar drinks and cocktails plus all varieties of coffee and tea. The staff a great and make a mean coffee, which comes from locally roasted beans. Soon, The Elephant will be roasting its own beans - how cool!

Great cafe with a great range of bagels when available, this time we went they only had 2 options so I went for a bagel and a panini, cheese and onion which I wouldn't recommend as it over load with the chutney. My partner had a ham with cheese which was really with the honey mustard.

I had a wonderful experience at Elephant. The food was delicious, the coffee was truly enjoyable, and the overall atmosphere and staff were exceptional. A perfect blend of flavours and hospitality—I'll definitely be returning for more!

A great cafe and lovely atmosphere. There's a large partially covered outdoor seating area at the rear. Excellent coffees and cakes. 1 star taken off due to very slow service of the coffees. Cakes arrived within a couple of minutes, coffees about 15 minutes later.

A lovely independent with great views over the Dee estuary. Dog friendly, wonderful coffee they grind themselves, nice sourdough bacon rolls.

Stopped for coffee and cake. Wasn't much left as it was late afternoon and it's a popular place. What we had though was decent and the coffee was quite nice. Dog Friendly too, which is a bonus.

Pop in almost every week busy today but found a table staff welcoming took our order, food / coffee arrived within five minutes lovely. Onion bhaji rolls a bit odd for breakfast but very tasty thanks

What a find. Really vibey place. The fantastic coffee, jam slice and fast WiFi pale incomparison to the view though! A wonderful place to spend golden hour, I felt like I was on holiday.

Good coffee and cakes here, love the outside area too, great artwork on the walls, and my little dog Arthur always looks forward to cakes crumbs !

I have been a regular customer at the elephant and have always enjoyed the food. I have to say though that recently the food has not been so good, little filling in the paninis and bagels, the food also tastless! Over the years I have introduced family and friends who are of the same opinion. I have also visited the latest Neston lounge with family and friends and this was no better. Sadly Our visit today will be the last also for family and friends ☹️

A real gem of a cafe, warm, cosy and relaxing. The food is delish and the atmosphere is perfect with beautiful view towards Wales. I highly recommend it!

Love this cafe. Great spot in Parkgate and the food and drink are always excellent. Nice Vibe as well

Had a coffee/ scone as a takeaway. Called there later after a walk for a toasted sandwich/tea. Lovely place. Will definitely go back. Courtyard is lovely.

Great atmosphere and lovely staff. It does get busy, but rables seems to become available quite quickly if you wait a little while, outside as well if weather fine.

Tasty bacon bap and vanilla latte. My wife had Cappuccino which was nice too. Second visit brews weren't quite so good but will be back for a third.

A fantastic café in the heart of a lovely village. Elephant Lounge has well and truly embedded itself into the community. This is a lovely local café chain which provides fantastic coffee, food and cakes in a beautiful location. I can't say much more. This is a local that I will keep coming back to.

Cosy coffee shop with relaxed atmosphere, great service and nice coffee. Very well known location on the Quay at Parkgate so it does get busy with walkers and dog owners.

Staff was amazing! I had an hour and half to kill and they looked after me. Only reason for not having 5* .... there was next to no chicken in my Chipotle chicken bagel. I didn't have the heart to complain as everything else was spot on. I will go again... even if just for the smiles 😃

Pleasant visit coffee nice and staff friendly. Quite busy but service good. Enjoyed the visit.

Fast service, Covid-19 friendly. Great for Cyclists with mounts to lock bike to.

Great relaxing venue with great views.

I drive 20 miles once a week specifically to go here! It really is that good! Lovely coffee, great setting and delicious food. They also seem to have a conscious as a company, which is great. What's not to like!?

Been a number of times; reasonably priced, excellent drinks (hot/cold/alcoholic) options and the food has always been pleasant. Nice views of the marshland and over to Wales and service there is always pleasant. Great little stop off on a walk/bike ride or worth a trip down in the car if nearby

Great coffee shop in Parkgate, looking out onto the marshes and across to North Wales. It's open from 9am to 11pm for breakfast, bagels, pizza, beer or coffee. I sat in there having a bagel, a few coffees and chatting to a friend for 5 hours and was never pressurised to vacate the table for someone else. It's got a chilled out atmosphere and the staff are friendly. There's indoor and outside seating and toilets.

I love this place! I can’t believe it has bad reviews, but I suppose some just love a good moan 💪🏻. Yes it can get busy but look at the bloody location! Absolutely dreamy! Best place to hang out in summer or winter. They’ve done a great job with the interior and the courtyard is a cosy place to escape the occasional gale force winds of Parkgate when you still need your coffee fix. Perfect coffee every time, great food, and always lovely staff. Looking forward to the shop opening ❤️‍🔥

My first visit here. What a fab place. A nice touch was the hooks outside to lock your bike safely to. Good menu, great coffee and the staff were fabulous. Thank you, will definitely be back

What a fab place to sit and have a coffee and cake watching all the birds. Lovely

My go-to place for coffee. Coffee is always perfect, and the bakery choice is delicious. Great atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff. The pizza is high quality and good value if you’re hungry. The outdoor seating area is perfect in the summer with a cold brew, and even during the colder months there is outdoor heating under shelter too.

Needed some refreshment mid afternoon after some coastal walking. Ordered at counter and tea and cakes brought to table. Pleasant staff, tables distanced and we had a view over the bay. Outer courtyard at rear if outside dining preferred. Very reasonable costs. Would visit again when back in area.

Only popped in for a brew, from what I experienced, it was busyish but speedy with our order. Tables seemed all clean but a little close to the neighbouring tables for my liking. I'm happy to recommend though. Maybe if I go back then the fifth star will be given.

One of my favorite places. Coffee is great, lots of delicious pastry and evening snacks, gorgeous view, and best of all, it’s pet-friendly! What more can you ask for? :)

The elephant lounge is a very cheerful and social place to meet with friends and family. Some days they feature entertainment like a singer or musician which is a great addition. There is inside and outside seating with food options. The food is probably a bit above average price but the drinks are very reasonably priced especially for being in Parkgate!! The staff are polite and it is a great place to go for a meet up with friends.

One of the best places to get your morning coffee! Great selection, staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Outdoor seating area to rear is lovely too. Highly recommend.

Pleasant stop during a bike ride with friends. Lovely family atmosphere. Only downside was because it was popular the service was slower as there were not enough staff to cope with the demand. An extra pair of hands would of helped.

Nice place to stop for a coffee. Very rustic but friendly and the views across the Marsh are superb.

Lovely coffee and cakes. Great view across to Wales. Nice comfortable aesthetics.
