4. Yøt Cafe & Shop
Yøt is the perfect stop for a summer snack or an ice latte. It is a bit out of the way, but it's on the Wirral coastal path. The coffee shop pit stop is a family-owned business, located in Lower Heswall. The shop has its own coffee blended by Adam & Russell. It is also very dog-friendly, with treats and water available for dog walkers.
But their biggest draw is the sun-trap garden, which offers solo and group seating, perfect for coffee catch-ups or a solo date. Coffee here is your typical picks from lattes, mochas to a standard matcha, but the cake of the day, which changes daily, is always available, as well as tray bakes, and vegan and gluten-free cakes. Dogs can have dog ice cream, a puppachino, and treats.
Menus change seasonally, as does the food, so you are advised to watch.

The cafe is a small and modern space at the back of the store where readers can curl up with a book or just enjoy a coffee after browsing.

The cartoonish-style art on the walls and the accents of burgundy are a perfect place for this shop's modern style.
