    Hubby to be and I stumble upon this place after a bit of a Sunday stroll round town, and what a fabulous find it was. We were greeted with a warm friendly welcome and seated straight away at a lovely set table upstairs. The decor is light and modern with a nice clean finish. The staff were fantastic, super friendly and massively passionate about their jobs. I had ordered from the kids menu and had the little meat free breakfast. It comes with scrambled eggs but I swapped them out for poached, sweet potato and pepper sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, smashed avocado, toast and a hash brown. Poached eggs were perfect. Hubby to be had poached eggs with salmon and smashed avocado, he added bacon to his. Very generous portion and very much enjoyed. Everything was cooked well, served hot and very tasty. Finished off with a couple of smoothies..can't remember the name of his I had the berry burst and was blown away.. it was delicious and very refreshing. Fantastic place for a bite to eat Worth noting the kitchen shuts at 3 pm

    Visited for the first time today. Staff were welcoming and patient towards new customers. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and fairly priced. There is a small seating area downstairs and a slightly larger space upstairs. A cozy casual cafe that can accommodate groups, couples and the single.

    The Townie Breakfast is the best breakfast I've had in a long time! Really nicely spiced and with a few extra twists on top of the usual english breakfast. Staff are very pleasant, and there is a modern and cosy seating area upstairs. Highly recommend!

    Checked out this award winning coffee shop in Preston a week ago to sample their specialty breakfast/brunch options ~ We tried the following: 》Towny Breakfast | Pork sausages, bacon, garlic & thyme mushroom, roasted vine tomatoes, house-made bean salsa, wilted spinach, toasted sourdough and 2 eggs (poached) 》Salmon Eggs Benedict | Served on english muffins topped with smoked salmon, wilted spinach, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce 》Raspberry Heaven Smoothie | Raspberries, mango, apple and blueberries 》Flat White Both meals and drinks that we had were spot on. The full english and eggs benny were scrumptious with balanced flavours, we thoroughly enjoyed them. The quality of the coffee beans used in their flat white was superb and the refreshing smoothie definitely won me over - I highly recommend them. They have a seasonal menu and everything's ethically/locally sourced which is quite commendable. We had a fab time in this cosy café which is an ideal spot to study (only a stone's throw away from UCLan), meet up with friends or simply hang out with your loved ones.

    We visited here with our two young children for brunch on my son's birthday. We ordered avocado & eggs, a full breakfast and chocolate pancakes for the kids. The service was excellent and friendly, the drinks were lovely and served beautifully (the cappuccino was honestly one of the nicest I've ever had) and the food was fantastic. Everything really tasty, generous portions and nicely presented.

    One of the best cafes in Preston by far! The staff are all so friendly and take so much care with the presentation of the food and keep the cafe so tidy... I could see myself in the side of the coffee machine it was so clean and shiny. The food is amazing and I highly recommend the cakes with a coffee and one of their many books upstairs 😊

    A lovely, cosy, little café with lovely and helpful staff that are always about. Drinks were lovely with different milk choices and have a range of different food including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. There's also a little book swap area upstairs.

    Great coffee but let down by pretty bad service this morning. Went in for a couple of drinks when there was only a couple of other people and ordered and then sat down. After this a LOT of people came in, but there was only one person serving - but after 10 mins I asked where our drinks were and was told they had to prioritise all the take out orders??!? So we were just bumped to the bottom I guess so they could get people out the shop? So eventually, 18 mins later we got our drinks, which were fantastic, just not enough to take away the sour taste this experience left. Would love to go back but you need to sort out how you dealing with lots of people - I personally would always try and serve people who had ordered in and not just put them behind the queue to clear out the place but 🤷‍♂️

    Lovely food, coffee and staff! Each plate was like a piece of art and definitely tasted as it looked. Atmosphere was super chilled and staff were very attentive. Also dog friendly which is always a bonus. Thank you for being so welcoming!

    Food was delicious (sweet and savoury) and tasted homemade. The curried soup and sourdough was excellent. We ate upstairs which was clean and tidy - good place to meet a friend for eats and chats.

    Went this morning for the first time. Atmosphere is lovely, really good vibe as soon as you walk in. Service was great, both members of staff were super polite. Food was lovely with generous portions for the price.

    Best matcha latte I've ever had! Brilliant food, great presentation and friendly service for a good price.

    All loved our food, halloumi was perfect and the while a bit pricey, the food quality makes it worth it. Credit to them for working with the constant roadwork noise, can't wait until we can sit outside when it's all finished 🥐

  • 5/5 Steven S. 2 years ago on Google
    Outstanding. This is basically an Aussie coffee shop, I was delighted to find it and had been looking for one in Lancashire for a while. Someone involved here has been down under. Has things you would expect in Perth or Melbourne like: Proper flat whites, smashed Avo, eggs benny e.t.c. Was amazing to find this in Preston. They really care about the coffee. If you're used to Australian breakfast culture & looking for that good hit, this is the place.

    Went in to try a new place for breakfast and found friendly staff, clean space and relaxing atmosphere. Family friendly too although there isn't a whole lot of space for pushchairs but enough for 2 at downstairstable. Food and coffee was excellent. Had the townie breakfast which had nice mix of thick bacon, sausages, vibe tomatoes, mixed beans mushrooms, sourdough toast all very tasty.

    They deserve 10 stars to be honest. Quality food, decent portions, fair price. Only suggestion, please can we get your coffee on delivery too, I bet it’s just as nice as the food! x

    The food was brilliant and filling. The fruit bowl was refreshing and the food presentation was brilliant. The service was warm and welcoming and the atmosphere is cosy and relaxed. There is also a range of books you can indulge in whilst waiting.

    Great coffee shop to visit for breakfast! The pancakes are delicious, as is the avocado on toast. I'd also recommend adding one of their freshly made smoothies to your breakfast. Lovely modern decor as well.

  • 5/5 Maison R. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing service from staff as soon as you walk through the door, quiet, relaxing atmosphere and they got our order in a even though the kitchen was closing soon. Delicious pancakes with no shortage of fruit and a beautiful presentation on food and drinks, brilliant experience all around.

    Their eggs Benedict are delicious. The eggs themselves were seasoned beautifully and the hollandaise sauce was light.

    Superb cafe. Wholesome and well cooked meals, snacks and drinks. Great value for money and staff are friendly and efficient. Books available to read and weekly copy of Socialist Worker. Handy for city centre and just 5 minutes walk from university. Highly recommended. Thanks Peter
