Dapa is a really interesting independent coffee spot in the heart of Formby village. Surrounded by chains, it is a rare and welcome change of pace!
The decor is different, interesting, and to some a little odd. But personally I'm a big fan, and appreciate the risks they took differentiating themselves from the local competition.
Service was quick and efficient.
The coffee is INCREDIBLY bitter, at first. But once you get past that, it's actually very nice. The latte art was okay, which immediately makes it better than almost every other Cafe nearby, but there's definitely still improvements to be made here as the milk clearly wasn't textured right (see photo).
Highchairs and outdoor seating were both available.
We decided to take a pass on the local Costa and give Dapa Coffee a try today 02.10.2022.
After calming T-Reb we entered quietly and found a quiet spot that resembled the local National Park.
Lovely peaceful little coffee house with cakes and beers for use on the school run.
Back to what you want to know, Latte and coffee Orio Cookie concoction that the lovely member of staff advised that she normally does as a bit of a show stopper on both were amazing.
We shared as you do Lemon cake and Rocky Road both well especially the Rocky Road one of the best richest tasting versions we have had.
Good show all round special thanks to the member of of staff with the show stopper good to have share a bit of pride in what you do it makes a difference in whatever we do, thanks again.
I recently moved to the area and one thing I love is a good coffee and I found it at Dapa Coffee. Despite there being other coffee shops in the village, this place has everything covered. I have to say, i’m fussy when it comes to coffee but Dapa has a great variety. My oat milk latte was incredible! There is a nice feel in the place and a range of seats/tables both inside and outside. They even have my favourite beer on draft… Moretti! What more can you ask for? Oh yes, and they got you covered if you are a vegan too!!
Also, I love supporting local independent businesses, especially in these current times.
The staff are helpful and polite too, this goes a long way.
Dapa, I will be seeing very soon. 👍🏻🙏🏻
A warm, friendly and super relaxing atmosphere for that much needed coffee fix, along with many delicious cakes to boot. DAPA is unmistakably the smarter choice. Such a great place. Love it here.
Hired the venue for a party and it was amazing. The venue speaks for itself, but a special shout-out needs to go to the staff. Di who was my main contact was really helpful throughout and she is also a lovely person who made the night more enjoyable. The rest of the staff were super helpful and friendly too. I look forward to booking again in the future
Really nice coffee, and friendly staff.
Modern, clean and good cakes!
Nice coffee ☕ and nice vibe to the café, little seating area outside as well.
Nice sunny day so lots of people sat outside, coffee/ drinks brought to you so no long queue at counter. Option to order from table. Friendly young wait staff.
Had heard bad reports but would definitely go back.
Visited this morning for the first time. Normally go to Cafe Nero despite it being a bit of a dump, because I like the coffee. Won’t be going anymore after trying Dapa. Everything was perfect, and the coffee is better than Cafe Nero and Costa. I’m converted…👍
Update….
Now they don’t allow to go in with your dog. That’s a shame, back to Cafe Nero .
Really love this place. Really good choice of food. Coffee gorgeous. Great service and very friendly staff. Would definitely recommend a visit.
