The bread here I lovely. But, I you want your guaranteed selection, it's best to call and reserve a loaf as they sell quite quickly. The cakes are something else too although I've tried not yo be tempted. Was a bit naughty and bought a chocolate brownie on my last visit.
Visited on several occasions to get takeaway whilst on my lunch, found the staff are constantly miserable and the menu is disappointing for vegetarians and vegans even though they state on TripAdvisor they are veggie friendly. On the rare occasion they have veggie sausage rolls they are nice. The soups are gorgeous however it's frustrating to queue up only to find once you're at the front that they don't have any. The board states they have jacket potatoes however upon enquiry they don't do them anymore. On my previous visit last week I left the shop empty handed and went to Sayers a few doors down as they had absolutely nothing to offer me as a vegetarian.
High quality bread, pies and cakes in the shop and served in the coffee shop. Had Ray's goodies at our wedding anniversary party in April - the food went down a storm! The negative here is that the coffee shop is so popular you might have to wait a while as all the food and drinks are freshly prepared as you place your order. Not such a bad thing really?
Just bought 2 birthday cakes from this shop absolutely gorgeous will definitely be ordering again can't recommend highly enough. My friends were delighted. Thank you Ray's.
Went into your shop today at 857 to be told u would not serve me till 9 by some snotty old bird so went somewhere else instead u must have to much money to turn it away don't think I'll back not a good retail experience room 4 improvement as a retailer of 50 years my I know how it works
Haven't had anything to eat here that was less than fabulous. It's become my weekly treat. Prices are excellent too!
Visited a couple of weeks ago and was impressed.. so thought we would try it again for lunch .. Afternoon tea not available oh never mind we'll order something else .So we did , after waiting for 35 minutes hot drinks consumed I ask the lady " would it be much longer due to our lunch break was only an hour long . Probably be about another 10 to 15 minutes!! You may have already guessed, we had to leave . Refunds on our food and an empty belly ????
We have just been to Ray’s Coffee Shop in Prescot and had one of the worst experiences we have ever had eating out at. We were on our way to a meeting, and hoped to be able to drop in for a quick lunch, and arrived at 12:45. The waitress took our order for a cheese toastie and a toasted teacake, and advised us that there might be a delay as there was a problem in the kitchen. However, after half an hour we had still not been served. She said that there was one more table to be served before us. As time was pressing, we told her to cancel our order as we did not have time to wait. We noticed that a number of people who came in after us had already been served, and they seemed to be people known to the staff. It was obvious that we had been sidelined, and that they preferred to serve regular customers in advance of casual diners like us. We paid for our pot of tea and left.
We went to Ray’s bakery next door, hoping to find a snack to take away, but there was little vegetarian on offer. In the end we settled for a rather uninspiring cheese bap and a cold potato cake.
Ray’s has built up a good reputation since Marion Ray started the business in 1924. She must be turning in her grave if she can see it now. Prescot is very short of day-time eateries, and Ray’s is exploiting its monopoly in that part of town by offering a substandard service. If you wish to avoid having an experience like ours, avoid Ray’s like the plague.
