I'm actually shocked this place's got 3.5 on Tripadvisor.
You definitely shouldn't expect restaurant food from there - it's just a small cafe for a quick bite.
Staff is friendly, service is fast and they've got quite a few vegan options on the menu.
I loved their iced latte with oat milk.
We got ciabatta with vegan cheese and veggies + falafel and hummous wrap and they tasted just fine.

Had a gorgeous pre theatre dinner today. Had the ham hock and my friend had the goats cheese. Mains had goulash and the pork. All perfectly cooked and and seasoned, service was sensational with real attention to detail.
Thank you so much for a lovely evening, we will definitely be back. 👌

Wonderful cafe in the heart of Calderstones park. Plenty of seating, both inside and outdoors. Many of the staff are young and it can be quite hectic during busy hours, but the food is good, the cakes are very tasty and the coffees are well made.
Dogs are welcome to queue but can sit on the benches outside.
Great place for families, people walking the dog or simply going for a walk and fancy a pit stop.

This review is solely for the cakes, I personally want to shake the hand of whoever bakes the cakes at The Reader Cafe, they are incredible and nothing like I’ve ever tasted before. The Victoria Sponge is to die for. Mouthwatering every time.
Thank you for your service.

Looks can be deceiving... Food was quite decent but the place (IMO) more for take away

Pretty good value. Food was really nice (coffee was a little burnt maybe but might just have been a roast we don’t like). Everyone super friendly and helpful and just to reiterate, really good prices for a breakfast (which was needed in preparation for new years)

We came here for shelter when it started with heavy rain. We had some coffees and some slices of Victoria sponge. The coffees and cakes were lovely.

Great place to spend some time on a warm Sunny day plenty of open space to relax. Good for dog walkers. Didn't have any food but looking at other people the food did look very well made.

Lovely place, friendly staff. Food was fine. However all our cutlery from teaspoons to forks and knifes were dirty.
