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

What a lovely afternoon we had at the cafe. Food and drinks were served and presented so beautifully by attentive staff. The whole atmosphere was relaxed, homely and friendly. I shall definitely visit again with friends and my dog.

Excellent service and good food, traditional breakfast was awesome.

Full english: good quality sausage, well cooked egg, grease free plate, decent price. Asked for well done bacon and got it. Top marks all round. Good atmosphere and dog friendly.

I love this cafe. It's up at Greenslate Farm. It is such a lovely little community farm that you can visit to mooch or volunteer at. Everyone here is very friendly and welcoming. The cafe is homely. There are plenty of tables with a decking area if the weather is nice. I had analysis day breakfast with was delicious, and others had a toasties and jacket potato. They also offer lovely deserts too. All the food was tasty and fresh and reasonably priced. You can see the chef working too, which is nice. It's a lovely place to visit xxx

Had a great breakfast at this lovely little cafe.

If you want a real gem for food , fresh locally sourced, and served by excellent staff, then a visit here to the secret garden must be on your to-do list,

Popped into this lovely little cafe for the first time while my dog was at the groomers round the corner. I had the Secret Garden Brunch which was absolutely delicious and the staff were so cheerful and friendly. Will definitely return!

A very nice experience. The venu was clean and well staffed. The service was friendly and promt. We would definitely go again if in the area

I recently arranged a lunch for 17 colleagues here. Hideout were very flexible with us as there were a lot of last minute changes to the order but the food was exceptional and service was fantastic. Would definitely recommend!

If you’re looking for a hidden gem in Wigan, look no further than Hideout. I walked in expecting your average pub experience, but what I got was nothing short of a culinary adventure! First off, the cheese board was fantastic. I’m pretty sure the cheeses were handpicked by angels. Each bite transported me to a whimsical dairy wonderland. I could’ve sworn one of the cheeses winked at me. If you’re lactose intolerant, I suggest you reconsider your life choices and dive headfirst into this cheesy paradise. And then there was the wine. Oh, the wine! I’m not exaggerating when I say it was the best wine I’ve ever had. I could practically hear the grapes singing as they made their way to my glass. It was like drinking liquid happiness. If I could bathe in it, I would—though I’m pretty sure that’s frowned upon in public places. Now, let’s talk about Ste, the barman. This guy deserves an award, preferably one shaped like a bottle of wine. He’s not just pouring drinks; he’s crafting liquid magic. He recommended the perfect wine to go with my cheese board, and I’m convinced he has a sixth sense for what will make your taste buds dance. Overall, Hideout is a must-visit. Just be prepared: the cheese may steal your heart, the wine may take your soul, and Ste might just become your new best friend. Go for the cheese, stay for the magic—just don’t tell anyone I said that!

So glad that there’s somewhere like this in Wigan now! There’s a few nice cocktails and nice bites to eat on the menu. Quality of ingredients for the mezze platter were top, only wanted more of it! I just wish that there was more on the wine selection for traditional European wines than new world ones. Still, what’s there is good and the coffee options look good too.

Lovely little cafe with very friendly staff. Nice decor and very clean, including the toilets. The coffee was very good, certainly better than the franchises and better priced too. I didn't eat, so don't know how it tastes, but the pizzas looked very good. All in all a great experience, definitely recommended.

One of my favourite cafes in Wigan. Delicious food, friendly service and staff. A very good value for money. Clean fun atmosphere. I highly recommend this place.

All traditional breakfast combos sorted here - I had the small Full English which was enough to keep me topped up on the 10 mile walk to Leigh. Great staff ensure you get fast, friendly service.

Best breakfast place in Wigan with wide range of options In cheapest way. Definitely visiting more!

Nice place the young bubbly girl serving I think her name was Liv very attentive constantly cleaning etc and taking orders overall a pleasant experience

Really enjoy the food they do here, they always look after you and make you feel very welcome

Great food service is fantastic just the right price would recommend you try

AMAZING. Great food ( not swimming in grease ) good price, value for money. Atmosphere great. Nice and clean. Staff kind. Give this cafe a try.

very tasty and good size portions breakfast - well recommended.

A new place to visit in Wigan for a coffee and a sandwich nice and plenty seating with a relaxing atmosphere

My friend and me visited for the 1st time today. And we felt so welcome. Stayed for 2 drinks each. So comfortable. I had a caramel slice which was delicious. My friend had a brownie slice. Which I could see had big chunks of chocolate in it.

Friendly welcoming staff. Served a proper cup of coffee. Range of plant based milks. Vegan food options and brownies. Comfortable interior, well worth the 30 second stroll down from Market Place. And handy parking right on the door step.

Tucked away in Jackson’s Court, between the bus station and Hallgate, this little cafe has earned itself a fine reputation for good food at great prices. They also have a decent selection of vegan dishes to choose from too. Not a huge cafe, but located on two floors, so much bigger than it may look from a casual walk by. We called fairly late in the day at 3PM, the cafe closes at 4PM. And I guess it had been a busy shift. The staff lovely and friendly. But left the impression they had more than had enough for one day. We ordered two different vegan burgers, both had some missing bits, listed on the menu, but not in our burger buns... Both still quite tasty. One dish was supposed to come with curry sauce and without it, it was a little flat. Both dishes cost only £7 each, which is stunning value. Even missing some ingredients! Front of house training needs a tiny amount sharpening by the management. The staff a little casual with customers and their requests. But still great food and great value. With a little more attention to details would easily be five stars. But for the above points.

Loved the woman working there - she was so accommodating of our orders. The food came out piping hot and was delicious. Chicken was crispy and juicy. The sauces and toppings are unique enough to be interesting but familiar enough to be classic. Fantastic mocha - nice and chocolatey without being bitter. I wish I lived near here so I could eat there often!

Delicious food! Really glad we called in today.

Absolutely amazing little coffee shop. Nice and chilled atmosphere, with relaxing music in the background. Service was superb, I requested something that they don't usually do, and the barista made it to perfection 👌

A lovely place to have a coffee after or before a train journey as it is perfectly placed for both Wigan stations. Enjoyed my flat white in a medium cup . Quick and friendly service plus free wi fi.

Bit awkward at first, stood at the door because it said please wait and no one came to see to us. Sort of wandered in and had to butt into the servers conversation to ask if they were doing food and where we could sit. But the food was gorgeous and generous quantities for the price. The servers were lovely, beautiful modern place with a relaxed atmosphere. Decent WiFi and plug sockets by the tables. Might be a good place to get a bit of work done with a coffee. Will be coming back. Thank you

Update on my earlier review this year........ Staff so friendly and welcoming. Service could not be any better. Quality of drinks & food 😋 👌 I will be leaving Wigan shortly. Definitely miss this place. But guys, don't take my word on it, go there and enjoy............

We had a very pleasant experience . Waited to be seated and given menus although we only wanted a cup of tea. Happy with the choice of teas and delighted that it was loose leaf . I had lemon and ginger my friend had earl grey We might have had a cake but I wasn't tempted by the cakes on offer. Three years ago I had afternoon tea here and was disappointed by the rather hard scones that didn't taste very fresh so I was rather wary!

What a lovely place! Sat outside in the covered area back in autumn (only just got round to reviewing). Friendly staff. Good menu. Bought a gift from the nice little shop too. Large parking area. Recommend.

What a lovely little cafe . I only had a coffee and teacake, so I can't comment regards food. But the atmosphere was lovely. The staff too were super friendly. Will definitely go back again for lunch this time. A lovely little shop attached to it.

Called crumbs this morning with my friend for breakfast. It was delicious, hot, we don't like sausage, so two small breakfasts , 2 bacon 1 egg, beans mushrooms and slice of toast and a lovely cup of tea £10.20 for both bargain !! Staff lovely and friendly nothing too much trouble, loads on the menu . Give it a go you will not be disappointed.

I saw this cafe when I was in Wigan last week. I popped in and had a large breakfast, and it was very filling. I couldn't finish. The food were nice, freshly cooked. Staff were extremely friendly.

Nice little cafe, lovely staff food cooked fresh recommend the chicken tikka sizzler panini and jacket potatoes all were big portions and delicious they were kind enough to put mine in a container as it was too big to finish but too nice to waste Definitely be going back again 👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nice clean place to duck in out the cold for some refreshment. Nice hot cup of tea served by a lovely young lady that brought it to the table for me.
