The Best Cafes in Horwich, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom (2025)

Asked for a delivery for a big breakfast and it was unbelievably good quality food and so delicious and very well packaged. Staff were very friendly on the phone and very helpful. Guy who delivered was friendly in person too. Will definitely order again.

Fantastic homemade food. Today, i had the Spanish chorizo, with poached eggs, grilled mushrooms, peppers, and feta cheese on sourdough. It's probably the best cafe in Bolton. All good quality food.

One of the best breakfasts I've had In terms of product standards, proper sausages and trimmed bacon is always a bonus when going for the full English, lovely staff and plenty choices on the menu, great dining area and parking outside the building, will definitely be going again, my first impression was given the 5 stars with ease⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thankyou all🌈 oh an the lotus cheesecake omg😋😋😋😋😋

New benchmark for a lovely cheap breakfast Inc 2 toast and tea. Cash only but used bank transfer,super.

Brilliant. Great service, quality ingredients. Lovely staff, good tunes and fantastic food served piping hot. Will definitely be back.

This is a lovely little cafe, great food, service and atmosphere. Staff are all very welcoming and friendly. I had a look on Google for five star cafes in bolton and what a great find this little cafe is. The cafe can get very busy and sometimes is better to book to guarantee a table :) I have seen a review on here about an assistance dog not being allowed inside and I completely agree with this decision due to the cafe only being a small business and having a open kitchen where food is prepared and cooked in front of you. I understand that assistance dogs are to help people with the guidance they need, but i personally wouldn't like them to be in such a small cafe where food is prepared and cooked in front of the customers.

I recently visited this cafe for breakfast, and I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, making it the perfect spot to start your day. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring that I felt welcome from the moment I walked in. Amazing breakfast ❤️❤️❤️

What a great find this little cafe is breakfast was out there with the best I’ve ever been served everything was spot on especially the hash browns which a lot of cafes can’t seem to ever get right , great atmosphere and deco ,my go to when in Bolton from now on .

Beautiful new cafe. Unique menu. Warm, welcoming and cheerful staff. They are so generous and took the time to explain the different drinks and gave recommendations. We loved sitting and working there and had to go back the next day for take away too!

An oasis of tranquility, good coffee and great service, on Chorley New Rd in Horwich. Attentive but relaxed host, you're invited to order then sit down and wait. A textbook americano served with skimmed milk cold, food and pastries available. My new favourite coffee shop in Horwich. Simple stuff done very well. Prices reasonable.

Best coffee in town. Selected tea, pies and cakes with a mediterranean flavour. It worth a try, you will come back for sure ! Also have a Stamp Card Scheeme and as a regulate custome you may end up with a free coffee time to time, regarding your collected stamps. The staff is very nice and friendly and if they don't have the pie you desire ready, they will bake it for you in the less time possible. You just ask! Also can order by Uber Eats and will be fresh delivered at your door. When you try few of the pies and coffee, it becomes a culture and you wish to have it every day.

Coffee Tree is our new favourite place to go now! We had a cafe latte and a hot chocolate which were amazing! We forgot to ask for the name of the gentleman behind the counter but he was so kind and helpful. He made two freshly made bacon and cheese calzone just for us which were incredible! They were so cheap at only £4.50 each! Thanks again, we will be returning soon ☺️

We came here as a group of 7 to celebrate my birthday. Relaxed atmosphere, good quality food, great menu choice, all orders came out correct, friendly staff. We all enjoyed our night! If I did have to say something, the style of cheesecake wasn’t really to our taste, at all. Sticky toffee pudding and churros were great though!

Service by Matthew was brilliant. Me my mum and my nephew. Lucas always wants food straight away in his high chair so we used the app to order his food first. Kids meals come with complimentary hummus and carrot/bread sticks as well as a free drink including milk or cawstons. We mentioned to Matthew he gets hungry and he went and got the hummus in minutes. This gave us plenty of time to look at the menu knowing he was happy Coke in glass bottles, some amazing flavoured dishes, plenty of tapas choices. Toy area for little ones and dog friendly 10/10 would go back

Tried Blanco Lounge tonight. Great place for a meal or even a few casual drinks. Very comfortable inside, nice and relaxed. Sizable menu. (They have a whole separate vegan menu as well) so jackpot if you're vegan and on the doorstep. Esther was my server. A really nice chatty lass. Her banter definitely added to the overall experience. I recommend you give it a blast.

Great service all round, James was excellent with us and very accommodating. Food was nice and we didn't have to wait long. We'll be back again soon. Thanks.

A return visit to the lower barn cafe. A busy spot where on occasions parking can be difficult but today was fine. There is seating inside and out however we chose to sit inside. Plenty of seating available and a good menu. The menu changes and there is always a specials board. The food is very good and served quickly. Toilets are in the next building and inside there is a small shop selling local goods. Some beautiful walks on n the area so a good spot to start and end.

Visited yesterday on first sunny day in ages. After long, long walk up and around the Pike we were very ready for what the cafe had to offer. Despite being really busy, staff were lovely and polite, service was surprisingly quick and efficient. As for the food - delicious!! Excellent value for money as well as being top quality. Thank you for a lovely experience to finish off a lovely walk 😊

The barn has been extended significantly outside with weather canopies to keep the rain off. Lovely food, lovely atmosphere and decent parking although it does get VERY busy at weekends and holidays.

Visted the Old Grey Barn today. We had a lovely snack, a cream scone, and coffee and tea. We would highly recommend a visit, we will try a lunch next visit.

Beautiful family! Always made to feel so very welcome! Service excellent! Food is absolutely delicious! Always spot on and very reasonably priced! Best cafe in Horwich and always love going! Been coming in since it first opened and cannot fault it! The cafe is immaculately clean too! Huge thumbs up from me and a huge asset to Horwich!

Absolutely gorgeous food, had the Persian burger and it was incredible. Great for kids, elderly and the like. Very caring and hospital staff too, definitely go back again!

Absolutely wonderful food here, very friendly accommodating staff. A very good experience 9.5/10 😊👍

Fantastic experience, good quality and friendly staff, highly recommended

We went to Tipico for my daughter's 9th birthday and we had a lovely time. The staff were really friendly and the food was really good/tasty! I would definitely recommend going to this restaurant! Lovely atmosphere and very clean.

An amazing restaurant with great staff very attentive friendly couldn’t do enough for us food excellent and I do mean excellent 👌🏻 all served hot and presentation was lovely very tasty wine was very good well done Chefs and waiters

Lovely staff - good food . Would have been 5* but the asparagus and oarma ham - turned up with no poached egg - was returned with a fried egg?@"# really -chef was out of order with that !! Other than that, good food at hood prices - with good service to boot ! I'm happy to recommend-but watch for the egg !!

An absolute gem of an Italian restaurant! I held a celebratory dinner for my engagement here and staff were so accommodating for a large group of people. The food was fantastic! I highly recommend

Oh what a welcome sight was the Pike Snack Shack. First time at Rivington and we stumbled across here on a cold and icy day (Thurs 2/1). Staff were lovely and welcoming, despite being busy. We had 5 hot chocolates with all the trimmings and 2 coffees for around £23. The hot chocolates were amazing and just what we needed to finish the climb. We were greeted by the best dressed pooches with their bow ties on (who love a fallen marshmallow or two). Highly recommend!

What a great little place to find on the march up to Rivington Pike. Lovely staff and coffees with a view.

Great views, lovely coffee and a great staff! There is of course Dudley! Worth it alone to visit, just for his company and to wash away any worries you have!

Needed to get out today for the first time after being ill, so headed out to Rivington which has to be the best spot for views and the all important fresh air. Not having been up there for while, we were unsure of where yo head for until I decided on looking for a cafe as high up as possible that would be open in the afternoon. We picked here as the pictures online looked cute. It is! Food offering, is basic in terms of choices, but the quality is there regardless and they serve the nicest coffee (good choice). A bonus is that despite the vagaries of postcode locations, and its rural setting, the postcode listed takes you to the door. A lovely place to sit and appreciate where we live and even more so with the kind hospitality of the owners. Hopefully the daughter will get her own 4x4 soon! Lol!

Great little deli café recommended by the staff at the wonderful Bridge Hotel nearby. Lovely food and great atmosphere.

A nice little cafe at the top of Winter Hey Lane, Horwich. Quite bohemian in style with wooden parquet floors, miss matched chairs, cuttery in tin cans and chalk boards offering specials etc. Food was OK, nothing special, thought I did order a halloumi wrap and was surprised when it came grilled, I was expecting it to be cold, but hadn't realised it was listed under the hot part of the menu. It came with plenty of salad leaves and coleslaw. There was a number of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options available 😀 My friend had a feta cheese and cous cous salad with added avocado which she said was lovely. I'd like to try the vegetarian breakfast sometime.

We went to one of the painting events at Thyme Deli - it was my son's birthday, so we had food beforehand, sandwiches and a tasting platter, it was delicious and Janeve and Janice were so helpful and accommodating with our requests for food, they were really flexible with the choices and the food was fabulous, we had a really great time, the painting was such fun too - I'd definitely recommend for any occasion! 😄

MUST VISIT. We chose this place from the Google reviews and were very impressed. Moumita is a brilliant host, very welcoming and beautiful. We had the full breakfast one small one big. Perfectly sized, the ingredients are all locally sourced, traditional butchers sausage and bacon, bury black pudding 👌 and fully free range farm eggs, bakery toast. Moumita Cooked it all perfectly and in good time. Lovely tea coffee. It’s the best English breakfast I have ever had… and I have a lot. Will definitely be calling again. Don’t miss out! It’s that good 👌

Great little coffee shop, had half an hour to kill and popped in for a quick snack. Ham, cheese and mushroom toastie with salad together with a large latte. Saw the fresh pastries and couldn't help but get a strawberry danish.

Brilliant friendly place to come and chill out and drink/eat excellent tasty food. Anita is one special friendly lady x
