About ELEFANTE CAFE & BISTRO

ELEFANTE CAFE & BISTRO is a Mediterranean coffee shop and bistro on Liverpool Rd in Liverpool, serving breakfast and lunch from an early opening. The drinks list gives coffee drinkers a choice beyond the usual, with Turkish coffee brewed alongside iced matcha and pots of tea. Morning plates run to French toast with blueberries, strawberries and maple syrup, while the lunch side turns to dishes such as salmon salad. The kitchen works with off-menu requests and allergies, and vegetarian and vegan options sit on the menu. Staff take orders and bring food to the table, and booking ahead is advised. A step-free, wheelchair-accessible entrance eases the way in for visitors with mobility needs, high chairs make room for families with young children, and dogs are welcome. It opens daily, and delivery orders leave the kitchen for those eating off site.

Customer Review Summary

Breakfast is what brings most reviewers back, with the French toast singled out for its blueberries, sliced strawberries and maple syrup, and pancakes, omelettes and a standard cooked breakfast all drawing praise for arriving fresh and beautifully presented. Close behind is the coffee, described as rich and full of flavour, alongside a double Turkish coffee, iced matcha and a pot of tea served exactly as requested. Lunch visitors also mention the Mexican Chicken, a salmon salad and a panini with chips. Several describe the staff as friendly and welcoming, and one diner with a severe nut and sesame allergy felt comfortable and well looked after, while another had an off menu request accommodated for a birthday. Families note a play area at the back stocked with toys. Two criticisms surface: one reviewer waited a long time for food despite a quiet room, and another disliked the raw onions throughout the dishes and found pits in the salad olives. One family recalls a plate of pancakes hitting the floor and the owner immediately having a fresh portion made.

  • Mark Winstanley
    “Fabulous place for a breakfast, came here on my wife's birthday and loved it! Nothing was too much trouble - my wife had something off menu while my standard breakfast and double Turkish coffee were delicious. Opens early too, for those who want to get ahead of the day. We'll definitely be back!”

    “We have had a lovely lunch here today. Lots to choose from on the menu and very reasonable prices too. Highly recommend the Mexican Chicken. Even though they were busy, we got a great service. Friendly staff and fabulous food. We will definitely be coming back.”
  • Emma Widger
    “Found this little gem on the way back from just buying a new car and what a place. My mum and I celebrated with the French toast with blueberries that were the sweetest ,juiciest I have had in a long time, sliced strawberries, drizzled with maple syrup and a nob of butter. Oh my, it was the best. Washed down with a pot of tea that was served exactly how we requested it with care. Thank you for becoming a beautiful memory of the day I bought my new car, I have kept the receipt in the manual wallet. I may even make the drive to visit you again just for your care and delicious French toast.”
  • Bilall Yıldızz

    “Visited today for the first time for lunch, food was excellent. I have a severe nut and sesame allergy and staff couldn't of been more accommodating and made me feel so comfortable. Will definitely be back and couldn't recommend Elefante more. Thank you ☺️”
