    Called in with my cycling partner on Sunday afternoon for a pot of tea and a piece of blueberry spongecake. What a delight to visit here. The staff are absolutely lovely, the pot of tea was plenty large enough and brewed well, the iced blueberry spongecake was cut generously and tasted even better than it looked. The tea room is bright and airy, meticulously clean (including the loo), and very comfortable. This was a delightful discovery and we shall be back. Thanks to everyone who keeps the standards so high.

    A delight to visit with a warm welcome, a choice of beverages and good snacks in a railway carriage style setting. For boys young and old, some ladies too, this is a modellers paradise, with kits of sailing ships to cars and aircraft, plus everything for the railway modeller, mechanical and scenic. Lots of advice and encouragement too All this at less than a hundred yards from the sea shore.

    We went to "the waiting room" within the model shop.for afternoon tea. We (7 of us and a baby) had a lovely time, and Carol the proprietor is lovely. All hand made cakes and scones, Sandwiches that were lovely and fresh. All washed down with unlimited hot drinks for £14. I would 100% recommend.

    An unusual setup combining model shop and cafe! However, it worked! I had child sitting responsibilities whilst my other half went shopping at Liverpool One. To prevent the howls of protest from my 14 year old of spending ages with me looking (slowly) round a model shop I was able to promise a piece of cake. The cake was delicious and the coffee was excellent. Although looking quite traditional the café does all the main types of coffee you'd expect. There is a compromise though with the selection of models not being as extensive as most would expect in a model shop. My interest is n gauge railways and although I did spot a second hand Peco grain wagon that I eventually purchased the selection was limited. If you like kit building models then there did appear to be a much better offer. However, I suspect the quality of this so was in the servicing the chap behind the counter could provide for upgrading to DCC or sorting out dysfunctional models. I had an hour long conversation with him, in which he showed me how to wire a DCC chip onto a loco! I certainly didn't recognise anyone's comments about unfriendliness as apart from sitting me in their front room I don't know if they could have been any friendlier. To summarise, great little cafe in unique setting and a good model shop where you can get a few basics and sort out your troublesome engines.

    Great service and lovely home made scones. Cafe is a bit set back from the prom, so maybe not so quite well known. Nice to be able to browse the models too.

    Took in some old N gauge trains to sell that belonged to my Dad. To be honest i havn't got a clue about them. The bloke seemed honest enough and my Mum was happy with the offer recieved. Friendly problem free dealer. We can't say anything negative about the shop.

    Great little cafe serving homemade sandwiches, toasties and cakes. A really friendly place and the toasties & sandwiches had heaps of filling and were freshly made. Oh they also sell model kits!
