Insomnia Coffee Company - Eastham @ Central Co-op — Restaurant in Wirral

It’s the first day of the school holidays and I went in Insimnia Cafe with my son. He began playing with two other children. He was running so I warned him about people carrying hot drinks so he began just walking. Of course it’s not my place to say this to children who aren’t mine so those two carried on running.

There was a small mistake with the order but staff were nice 🙂. Coffee is very good here. There are vegan and gluten free...

Insomnia was a lovely establishment to do some work in, the decorations added to the cozy atmosphere and the seats remained comfortable even after being there for over 6 hours! The staff was especially inviting as they always offered a smile, like Phoebe did :) The food was also lovely, I had a delicious cheese toastie and a wonderfully made drink, albeit the prices seem a little high (The toastie was £4.95 and the Mocha was £3.20) but for a treat it was an...
