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

Great food and service. I visit regularly with friends and the pasta dishes are just so delicious. The staff are very attentive too.

We dined here last week, a small group of 4. Food and service was excellent. Maurizio was very attentive, toping up wine glasses and checking in. We shared the Platter, a delicious mix of starters. I had the gnocchi with lamb which tasted amazing. We all felt very looked after and you can tell the staff really care about their job and making customers happy. Would definitely return and recommend.

I visit Luciano's regularly to meet up with friends. I have enjoyed coffee only, breakfast and lunches. The staff are really friendly and attentive. Food and coffee always delicious. Good price range. Must try an evening meal here soon!

Great little coffee shop. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food was lovely. I would definitely recommend this place to visit.

The Reading Room at The Barlow, next to Edgworth's cricket club and bowling green is a community spirited cafe which is interestingly appointed as a reading room as opposed to a typical cafe. Dog friendly, the haunt attracts regular custom which it satisfies with decent fare at reasonable prices.

Beautiful building, brilliant park behind for the children, great cricket ground adjacent and stunning views across! The ice cream parlor a short walk up the hill was an added bonus too! (The white horse pub is up the same hill for the thirsty/stressed mums n dad's too, also highly recommended!!) Beautiful stress free part of the area!

So impressed with the people who run this lovely little cafe. Our service was a bit delayed as the place had suddenly become very busy and in contrast to other places they apologised, offered us free drinks - and when we didn't accept gave us a refund. Such a lovely gesture and we hadn't even complained.

Great little casual restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere. The food is fresh and tastes really good. Very well priced. The atmosphere when this restaurant is busy is hard to beat. The only downside is the very limited parking. On a return visit to the restaurant, we were seated in a covered outside area at the back of the restaurant, on a very cold night. Whilst there were two large heaters in there, it still felt cold. The service and food were still very good, but if we'd known in advance that we'd be seated in this area, we'd have cancelled the booking. Only two other tables became occupied in this area whilst we were there and we'd have preferred the option of waiting for a table in the main building.

First time here but will definitely be going again . The food was delicious and reasonably priced . Nice atmosphere and the staff were very friendly

Great food with great service. Visited Monday mid afternoon and we got 2 x 3 course meals, 2 additional sides and 2 large drinks for £60. The lasagna was exceptional - there is also a deal on during the week for selected mains. Will definitely be back.

Warm, friendly, great atmosphere with whole families having fun. The fried calzone was a great twist on a firm favourite. Well done.

The place is very nice with an excellent atmosphere. Great for having a coffee. They also have good options for cakes to accompany it. Staff are very friendly and welcoming, such a lovely place to stop for a coffee and cake. The brownie I had was just too delicious to not show off, it’s a gluten free, vegan peanut butter jelly brownie. I’m very pleased with the service of this cafe and without a doubt will be back when I visit Manchester again!

The library, museum, and aquarium housed in the beautiful georgian splendour of le mans crescent in bolton, finally get the cafe for food and drink option the place has been crying out for. Popped in to do a little work, coffee and a mid-morning snack. Pastries from 50p offer great value alongside the americano, a little expensive at £3 but thats okay given the peaceful clean surroundings. The pain au chocolat was nothing special but for 50p it made a nice accompaniment to my coffee. Thr building is gorgeous and has been, for the most part, tastefully restyled. For digital nomads decent wifi (download speeds 163mbps) and power points in a quiet calm emvironment are perfect. Its spacious and light. Whats not to like? I'd love it if they got licensed and offered a glass of wine with lunch but hey ho, its a start.

You catered excellently for our 100 delegates. The food and refreshments were very good with lots of choice (including some special requests). The service was excellent, lovely friendly team. Clean areas and set up and clearing away was prompt. Thank you!

Never knew this existed, first time visit today but won't be the last, beautifully situated , plenty of parking, lovely food and great ambience, would definitely book before going as busy.

Delicious breakfasts options especially Egg Benedict and Avocado Toast Excellent service and helpful staff Great quality

Lotties is a proper little gem, the staff are great and service is always with a smile. The food is great quality and good servings. Drinks are fantastic. The setting is perfect with great views. Definitely a must if you're in the area.

Came in today and ordered hot chocolates, they were absolutely delicious!! All of the staff were friendly and service was quick. The chairs were comfortable and the atmosphere was cosy. Loved it, will come back sometime again:)

Free entry to the magical place. Parking is also for free.

In the grounds of Turton Tower, coffee and cake was great, nice brew and the cakes are all homemade 😋 Service was great, and we were sat in the 🌞

This is a regular Sunday stop. The staff are wonderful, the cakes are amazing and the surroundings are simply divine ✨️

Lovely cafe in even more lovely surroundings! Dog friendly. Lots of bowls of water for dogs, and free dog treats. Free parking for 3 hours. Lots of outdoor seating. Lady who served me was pleasant, polite and helpful. Had tea and cake, both very good. Disabled friendly. Toilets were very clean and well equipped, including a movement activated heater.

Cosy little coffee shop, stopped by for a quick brunch. Had the salmon & egg on their artisanal bread which was great and a lovely cappuccino. Staff were delightful and attentive, I can see myself coming back in the future.

Had lunch, visiting from Florida my friends took me here, very very nice place, food was excellent service was very good as well highly recommended would definitely come back.

13/03/24: had mocha with coconut milk and beef sausage & egg on a white bloomer. Sausage was a little bland, but the bread and coffee were very good. Service was friendly and quick. Also had the cheese & onion omelette on brown seeded toast. That was also very good! I would have liked to have seen a full English on the menu. Parking isn't great, made worse by inconsiderate parkers after we'd arrived! Dog friendly, promptly served with water in a Brewdog bowl! Very thoughtful!

Great service, a really lovely team working hard in ever changing circumstances. The coffee here is second to none and they bake their own artisan bread, which was so delicious and really made the breakfast. I was pleased to see the egg yolk was a lovely orange colour, which says to me they use excellent quality ingredients. I've been to too many places and been served pale yellow eggs and it puts me off as you know they are just the cheapest bulk buy eggs and probably not ethical or sustainable. Will be coming back here a lot in the future, really glad my colleague recommended it.

Fabulous, great food, tasty too, but what made the trip was the amazing customer service, VERY REFRESHING - OLDSCHOOL waitresses and lady on the till alike Gifts available too.

Food was good and excellent service, the girl who served us was very attentive, polite and looked smart. We will be back here next time we're in Bury! The place is lovely too

Very nice place for a cup of tea. Thank you . The fresh cream and the blackberry jam was a match made in heaven. Thank you. 1. Ceylon Bop 8.5/10 2. Scones with butter, fresh cream and blackberry jam : 9.85/10 2. Service 9/10 3. Cleanliness 9/10 4. Will come again Yes

Excellent overall. Service was second to none. I have never been in a place so clean from the table to the toilets. Spotless. Girls all in uniform that looked lovely so friendly polite and helpful with menu. I would recommend this place. Food was lovely and leaf tea which I love. Owner is a lovely lady.

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

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.

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 👌

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 😊

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 💕

Oh what a night!! Having my 50th at The Drop Off was such a special occasion for me, it is simply the most phenomenal function room which creates an amazing atmosphere for all the guests. The lighting, the acoustics for the band, the dance floor all worked together to create a brilliant night. Working with Moira and Bryn planning the night was perfect, so friendly, helpful and enthusiastic about it all. On the night Nathan ran the bar effortlessly and full of character. All that came were full of praise for you all in what you’ve created, you should be immensely proud of yourselves!! I cannot thank you enough for making my 50th a night I’ll never forget!!!
