About The kitchen
The kitchen has become something of a local institution in Southport — the kind of cafe you end up returning to every time you're nearby.
Southport has no shortage of cafes, but The kitchen stands out for its commitment to doing things well. Good coffee, proper food, and staff who seem to genuinely enjoy what they do.
Open throughout the week. It's popular at peak times, so expect a short wait if you arrive mid-morning at the weekend.
