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

Every Builder needs a good butty shop local to his job, and this one is really spot on!!. 👷👌 ... I've been to this butty shop several times over the last 10 years as local to summerseat. In the past, it was an okay place if you were stuck, very average, no frills!! After recently hearing that this place had been taken over, I thought i would give the place a go!!! Well, what a transformation and couldn't phrase the new owners & staff enough!!. The place has had a massive transformation with a new ejection life deffenlty brought to the place, can feel the new energy as ya enter.!! Staff are bubbly an full banter 🤩🧑‍🍳👩‍🍳.. They have still kept some of the traditional pies & cakes that this place was known for, but also have brought a new lease life to the menu!! 🥧🥪🍟🌮🥓🥗🍰🎂🥯🍇... Offering a wide selection of hot & cold sandwiches 🥪 and dishes!!. You will spend more time struggling to work out what to have!! Make sure ya check out their daily specials!! deffo not to be missed - tried the pulled pork butty the other day, and it was spot on 🤤🤤🍔🍟.... I would Deffnlty go back and certainly be recommending to fellow tradies 10 /10 from use!!

The home made cakes are amazing and nothing is too much trouble for the owners. All the food is freshly made and tasty 😋

Best around. Great food. Great staff. Great prices. Cannot beat it.

Just had a good time relaxing from stressful work in this little lovely place. Hospitable and nice people. The sandwich was my own selection and they made it taste perfect. They even offered me to taste a pie and I thank you guys.

Oh my goodness. Absolutely amazing lunch. First time we've been and I couldn't be happier. We've added this to our list as somewhere to visit regularly. The staff are so friendly, the lads so served us are the sons of the lady who owns it which we met after in their shop after. She was so nice. We had a proper good natter. The food was fantastic! I had a delicious ham, cheese and onion filled croissant 🥐 the best I've had and after a even more delicious homemade caramel shortbread, the best I've had. I highly recommend this place.

I visited Hearts for homes with my mum & daughter today for afternoon tea as a Mother’s Day treat. All I can say is that it was quite possibly the nicest cafe I have ever been in. The food was yummy, the staff were lovely and the atmosphere was great🌟 I would definitely return and recommend. The little touches were the best. Even a little gift bag for all the Mum’s too💗

Decided to treat myself to afternoon tea for one at Hearts for Homes and I'm so glad that I did! The decor is stunning and was what first drew me in. From the flowers on the walls to the adorable serveware this just felt like a really cosy cafe. Afternoon tea itself was delicious. There was a range of cakes and treats that tasted amazing and it was all so beautifully presented. Service was impeccable too, the staff were so friendly and really polite. They really went above and beyond to try and make everyone's visit a positive one. Would definitely recommend giving this place a visit if you're in the area.

Lovely place, went for lunch. The staff are very friendly and attentive. I loved the atmosphere of the place, I sat in the window seats and it was so nice. I had the Korean Stack which they made vegan for me - it was delicious, I wanted something tasty that wasn’t the same old avo & toast which is normally the standard vegan option - they said as the food is freshly cooked they could just adjust anything on the menu for me - will definitely be going back ❤️

More than a cafe,small menu but well done, good veggie choice, reasonable prices,clean,welcoming staff and good coffee and alcohol available,will return.

Lovely new place. Food & service great. Recommend the Korean Stack!

Really lovely little Bistro with very tasty food. The atmosphere was nice and relaxing and staff engaged with the kids. I had the cajun chicken special which was perfect and my son had the 'Bower Burger' which was huge but he devoured in about 2 minutes as he said it was amazing! If you want a relaxing evening with good food and good drinks at a reasonable price, the Bower is recommended.

Me, my sister and my nephew thoroughly enjoyed our visit on Thursday afternoon. The cafe is decorated beautifully and the food was delicious. The staff were so good with Harry and even showed him how their homemade chocolate is made - he was absolutely made up! We definitely recommend this fabulous family business. The hot chocolate was ‘10/10’ as my nephew said. Special shout-out to Nic and Ella for their amazing customer service and making us feel so welcome. Will definitely be returning x Harry’s Aunties x

Lovely place, decor is really nice and the food was delicious. The hot chocolate was one of the best I’ve ever had. My friend and I ordered the ham and cheese croissant and waffles with berries to share, both were delicious. They sell fresh cakes and chocolate so I will be back to buy some! It’s also dog friendly.

Called in for a coffee mid week. It was quiet, but given the weather, it was an understandable.lovely clean shop, seating over two floors.Staff were frendly and the range of chocolate available was awesome.Coffee was really nice and the place had a really good vibe.

I’ve just visited the cocoa cafe in ramsbottom for the first time with my newborn baby and husband. We were made to feel so welcome! The display of chocolates and brownies looked great. There’s plenty of space to bring a pram etc. We ordered a cappuccino, hot chocolate and dipping board to share and really enjoyed it. Thank you to Charlotte and Flower for the lovely service. We will be back!

We found this place on a quick google search for a local coffee shop. Very well presented and friendly, hospitable staff, especially considering how busy they were at lunchtime. High chairs available and a WC with changing table, wipes and other baby products (very thoughtful). I ordered a large latte with almond milk and it was delicious! No harsh, bitter or earthy after-taste. We both ordered salt and pepper chicken open pitta and were surprised at the amount of food. It came with alot of salad! The chicken was good, if not a little dry for my taste. With it being salt and pepper, I would have expected a bit of chilli, not just salt and black pepper, but maybe that's just a Chinese takeaway 'thing'. The pittas were soft, warm and tasted fresh. I personally felt a little limited with choices due to not eating pork, tuna or cheese, although I'm sure they could alter to desired taste. They do have signs up saying gluten free and vegan options available, which includes the cakes. I would recommend this place and I would visit again.

Lovely meal here on a Saturday. Really nice selection of food and drinks. Parking 🅿️ round the local area. Great location for access to the shops 😀 really enjoyed it!

Don't read the whiney reviews. I went yesterday...young lady helped me choose my food, it arrived very quick, very hot and was lovely. Same girl checked that what she ordered for me was OK. Was supposed to go again for breakfast today but had to cancel. Will definitely be back soon.

Love this place. Staff are always friendly and accommodating. Good and drinks are consistently good. Nice cosy atmosphere. Love that it is so dog friendly. And the clientele are always friendly too. Recommended the salt and pepper chicken wrap.

The food here is fabulous, much more than your average breakfast / brunch! So many unique details to the dishes that make them extra delicious. Really nice coffee and cakes too! Staff are always super friendly and service is great. Everything is reasonably priced and there is lots of parking on the surrounding streets (you do have the pay for parking). Highly recommend!

Bloom speaks for itself, the food is fantastic, the breakfast bagel is decadent, brimmed with avocado, egg, streaky bacon, cheese (I added mushrooms) and I didn't want it to end. Wife's food looked amazing, she wanted to lick the plate, I didn't object. So she did. Coffee is delicious too, it's a lovely place to sit and watch the world go by, with delicious food to go with it.

Our favourite coffee shop, with the best hot chocolates ever, lovely coffee and delicious food. They always make our little boy feel super welcome - even remembering his favourite babychino and toast order! The staff are all so lovely and the atmosphere in Bloom is always very relaxing.

Visited for brunch. Fantastic that our small dog was welcomed and also given her own water bowl and a sausage😃. Food was good, but unfortunately( but is normal now🙄) only sourdough bread was available, which I detest and 2yr old won't eat.

I have paid another visit to The Fig Tree in Rawtenstall. What a lovely, quaint well run place this is. The food, and service is excellent. It’s run by a lovely young couple. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I have also been on one of their Tapas evenings. What a great night had by all. The food, the atmosphere & service excellent as always. I highly recommend this little gem of a place, where everyone is made to feel very welcome

My new favourite go to place i just love it here. The food is amazing! The staff are so welcoming and always go above and beyond for you. Lovely relaxing friendly atmosphere and the place is spotless. Thankyou guys looking forward to seeing you again

Impromptu visit to the local area and I stumbled across this little gem. Reasonably price and really good quality. I had the large breakfast and was delicious - set me up for the day. Dog friendly too. I think the lady serving was called Kate, and she made me feel really welcome. Will visit next time I am back up North.

The staff are really friendly and serve excellent coffee. There’s always fresh bakes for your brew. Good food menu but sometimes you have to wait because it is only a small kitchen

Very cute little place, I got the Turkish eggs and they were unbelievably tasty! Coffee was spot on too, even had good decaf

Took myself here for a little ‘me’ time and I was so glad I chose this place. Really chilled feel. I sat by the window with a book and had a beautiful cappuccino (really creamy) and fogs and ricotta on toast which was a generous portion and I couldn’t eat it all! A nice little spot to people watch and I can’t wait to try other things on the menu!

Really nice coffee, and tea. Turned up a few minutes before they were about to close yet they were very happy to let us sit in while we drank our drinks. Very courteous and friendly staff. Thanks 🙂

Googled somewhere close for breakfast as we were on our way home from a weekend away. What an absolute gem we found! You find the cafe through the gorgeous craft shop and it is clean and bright with lovely staff. The young man who served us was polite and attentive without being intrusive, and even though we only had breakfast sandwiches, they were delicious and perfectly cooked. My husband was a bit dubious when they brought out a small dish of grated cheese to go on his sausage and bacon muffin, rather than put it on the sandwich. Turned out it was a master stroke, the plate was hot, the sandwich straight off the grill, and he could put on as much or little as he wanted and it melted really quickly. Lovely atmosphere with lots of crafted items on the walls too. 100% would recommend.

This is the third time I’ve been here,I brought some friends today they absolutely loved the place we had the special today the lasgane served with salad.The staff are so nice and friendly it’s very reasonable as well.Will definitely be back soon I’m trying to make my way through the menu 😊

A great addition to Ramsbottom, found within Clark Craft shop. I had the Hot Beef & Onion Ciabatta, which was great, 11/10 for the gravy. My better half had the Club Sandwich, which is a whopper. Very reasonable priced as well and free parking. Wish I had room for one of the delicious looking cakes found on the counter. However my, 2 year you old daughter said I look like I’m going to pop. Another day maybe…….

Called in for brunch today. We had a ham & cheese panini with the freshest of side salad homemade slaw and crips. It was delicious. The staff are attentive, friendly and keep things super clean. Can highly recommend. Shame you can no longer give them a tip.

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the life drawing event with Vanessa ! The Drop Off was the perfect venue !!!! It was so lovely and relaxing and Vanessa's so talented and inspirational! I loved looking at others' drawings and meeting different people. I havn't done life drawing for about 20 years and this brought it all back. Since Saturday , so many of my friends in the local area have said they would love to join in . I know Saturday was expensive and as a one off , it's a treat ! I sincerely hope there can be something a little more regular and accessible in the future . Thank you 💕

Cutest cafe Great size portion, the coffee was lovely aswell. Flapjack was so nice aswell. Food was delicious Staff were so lovely Dogs are allowed

I had chosen The Drop Off for my 50th celebrations and they did not disappoint. Both Moira and Bryn looked after me so well and on the evening itself they were on hand to help out, nothing was too much trouble. All my guests commented on ‘the vibe’ and how gorgeous it was. For the buffet, I decided to go for the pies, chips, mushy peas and gravy…..wow it was delicious. If you’re looking a venue with the wow factor The Drop Off is for you. I highly recommend it 😊
