Must visit for music fans! Really quirky little cafe in the town centre. Had a takeaway breakfast sandwich 🥪 during a visit to Leigh. Friendly owner and warm atmosphere. Did I mention quirky?

Called in today for a coffee and cake. It really is in my opinion a retro style cafe with good wall decorations of music memorabilia. Background music was not too loud and while I was in the music was from the 70's. Good atmosphere, very friendly staff, great coffee, good size muffins and very reasonably priced.

I'm a support worker in the community and have to meet some clients in cafés for different reasons, mostly homelessness. The staff here are, kind and friendly and even supplied fresh water and courtesy biscuits. I'll definitely be using this place for a third time for work. Thank you for being so welcoming oh and the cappuccino was so good had to order a second one 😁

Nice atmosphere and good food, although a bit pricey. Pleasant staff. I had the steak sandwich which was ok, but only a very thin slice of meat, and the pesto overpowered most of the other flavours. Chorizo hash was a good option though

This is a hidden gem, I only knew about this place as a friend recommended it. Get there early as it fills up fast! Also it's dog friendly making it perfect. A very warm welcome on arrival by the staff and they recommend a new dish. I went with the recommendation and boy I was not disappointed at all. We ordered Turkish eggs and the new dish Pesto eggs as well as loose leaf tea and hot chocolate. Food was amazing and very flavorful would highly recommend both. They also had a selection of deserts at the counter, they looked so scrumptious and I can't wait to try them when we go next.

Visited for the first today and we were very impressed. The team were lovely, great service and fabulous food. My Partner had the Mayhap breakfast, I had the veggie breakfast and then we treated ourselves to the September special of spiced apple pie french toast which out of this world delicious. Highly recommend.

My daughter and I visited for the first time today and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The staff are super friendly and the drinks were delicious. We foolishly ordered two lots of different topped pancakes to share. They looked and tasted incredible but were impossible to finish. We have them boxed up for later if we have room. The photos online do not give credit for the sheer size of a portion. They were amazing. We will go back but will order pancakes to share next time.

Excellent coffee! My flat white was hot, creamy and the coffee flavours were complex but not bitter (like some ‘chain’ coffees can be?) Shakshuka eggs with beef chilli were fantastic - spicy, rich, savoury, saucy and the sourdough toast was crisp yet soft, perfect for mopping the sauce - a brunch dish to relish every mouthful! Staff were friendly and welcoming, efficient and made me feel like a regular on my first visit here. Ambiance is good, decor ‘industrial chic’ - the perfect place for brunch or lunch, deserves every one of the five stars 🌟…. If I could give six, then I would.

What a fantastic cafe I visited for the first time today (Wednesday). It might not be the largest of cafes (4 tables inside - 16 people max and 2 tables outside), however what it might lack in size it more than makes up with the quality and price of the food and the very friendly service. My poached eggs were cooked perfectly, with a good portion of beans and great toast to go with it. I also had a very nice cappuccino. All for just £6.00. The best cafe I have visited in the Leigh and Wigan area. It was my first visit, and I can guarantee it definitely won't be my last. While I was there, it was very busy with people coming and going with take outs. I am not at all surprised.

Convenient place to stop for refreshments and charge the phone in the middle of the day. Friendly staff and classic food choices. The bus stop and park are super close. The atmosphere felt more suitable for take away inside. Thank you for the warm welcome.

First visit and probably won't be the last, lovely dog friendly cafe in pleasant surroundings, good range of drinks and food. My only concern was the time in receiving our order, then our order went to the wrong table, I appreciate the cafe being busy which is great, maybe number paddles on the table would be a help. However lovely friendly staff, would definitely return in the future

A stunning little gem nesting right in the beating heart of Pennington Park. With Shelley and her team serving up fabulous beverages and tasty snacks, you can sit and chat or just relax, winter or summer and take in the beautiful surroundings and atmosphere. Great community spirit and a must to visit any time.

I am an Uber Eats driver and have picked up from Mia’s a few times, and can honestly say that this is always my favourite place to collect from. Always very friendly and smiling. Picked up from there this morning (it was cold outside) and was even offered a hot drink. As a delivery driver, not many places offer such kindness and friendliness , most just ignore you. Thank you Mia’s for being so friendly and always smiling. I am sure the food is amazing too, if I ever need a full English - first place I’d go is Mia’s. Keep up the good work. Xxxx

Erin's team is fantastic always helpful and full of joy. Always looking very smart and cleaning all the time the food and drinks are very good and reasonable priced. I love coming to this shop when in the market it's my favourite place for a coffee. All the staff are wonderful. I would recommend anyone visiting Leigh to visit this friendly place for a brew and a chat.

Really good here, I started to go since it got a revamp, coffee’s are great, 10x better than the Costa in spinning gate. My favourite is the iced mocha, which is made with ice cream, nice weekend treat. The takeaway breakfast deal is really good value for money and proper bacon too unlike Costa. It would be great if the breakfast deal was also for sitting in, for those that want to come and work whilst having a coffee. Staff are all great, especially that Adam, friendly and top quality coffees.

I travel up and down the country due to my job. I'm in different cafés daily and I have to say there really is levels to the game. The drinks, the service and the cleanliness of the establishment is fantastic. The staff and management are very very attentive and their positivity is infectious. I go to the big chains and they have lost there touch. Please please open a branch in Chester.

Thought we should try Cafe Luna as it has not been open too long. The place is very clean with very friendly staff. The food and drinks we ordered were nice and reasonably priced. Our bill came to £16.60 for the two meals in the photos with a coffee and a juice. The cafe has music playing. I would describe it as pop music. We would prefer background music or none at all. Obviously, this is very subjective. They have a couple of tables on the pavement. The negative about this is that when people/staff smoke, the smoke drifts into the cafe. Fortunately, we had finished our food when this happened.
