About Cambridge Road Cafe & Bar

Let me introduce you to Cambridge Road Cafe & Bar, a relaxed cafe-style spot sitting right on Cambridge Road at 129 Cambridge Rd, Southport PR9 9SD, United Kingdom, and one that locals quietly rely on for easygoing food and good company. From the moment you walk past, the place feels approachable rather than flashy, which is exactly the charm. It works equally well as a casual coffee stop, a quick bite between errands, or a laid-back place to settle in and unwind. Inside, the atmosphere stays friendly and unpretentious, while outside seating gives you a simple option for enjoying fresh air when the weather behaves. The menu keeps things flexible, which is a big plus, because not everyone arrives with the same plan or appetite. You can grab a strong coffee and something light, lean into healthy options, or pick from small plates that are easy to share without overthinking it. Vegan and vegetarian options are thoughtfully included, so nobody feels like an afterthought at the table. If you’re stopping by later in the day, the offering expands nicely with beer, wine, spirits, and other alcohol choices that suit a relaxed social mood rather than a loud bar scene. Service options are another reason this place fits easily into everyday routines. Dine-in feels comfortable and unhurried, takeaway is convenient when time is tight, and delivery keeps things simple on days when leaving the house feels like too much effort. What stands out most about Cambridge Road Cafe & Bar is how naturally it blends into daily life in Southport, offering consistency without feeling boring and variety without being overwhelming, which makes it the kind of cafe you mention casually and then keep going back to without needing a special reason. It also suits solo visits, informal catch-ups, and relaxed work breaks, making the space feel useful throughout the day rather than tied to a single dining occasion.

Lovely little family run cafe. Food was really good with some vegan options and even vegan cake. Coffee was also really nice. The staff are all lovely especially Emma and Lauryn! The cafe is also dog friendly and they have a ramp to make the entrance wheelchair accessible which is great! Will definitely come here again.

I visited Cambridge Road Cafe & Bar with three cycling friends on our ride to Southport from the Wgan area. The cafe has changed ownership since my last visit, which was quite a few years ago. Very friendly and quick service. All four of us commented on how good our food and drinks were and at a great price. My vegetarian sausage on toast with a large americano came to £7.50. One of my friends said his sausage sandwich was probably the best he has ever had, and mine is up there with the best as well. There is plenty of seating inside and two large wooden bench tables outside. Perfect for cyclists. Shame the cafe has lost the outside bike stand that the previous owners had. I had reason to use the male toilet, and it was very clean and tidy. This will be our cycling stop when we visit Southport again.

Nice little cafe, busy but not jammed. It is dog friendly ( hence 4 stars not 5) however there were none in so I gave it a try as it looked good. Food was great and - this is very rare as it’s hard to do- ALL ingredients were piping hot ! Good quality food well cooked as requested. Coffee for a decaf was very good too. Two very busy staff were very nice, smiling and welcoming. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will go again -if no dogs in!
