10 Best restaurants for Cafe in Blackburn

Chai Station

I had a really warm and refreshing start to my day here. From the moment I walked in, the team made me feel comfortable and welcomed, which set a positive tone straight away. The chai came out first, and it was honestly the standout. Rich, smooth and full of flavour, it reminded me of proper homemade tea.

My breakfast arrived soon after, and it tasted fresh and well prepared. The portions were ok, and everything looked inviting without being over the top. What impressed me most was how naturally the staff looked after everyone. They were attentive, polite and genuinely happy to help, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable.

By the time I finished, I felt like I had started my morning in the best way possible. It’s the kind of place you walk out of smiling and thinking about when you can go back again.

Aunty(boss lady) need to be less angry and more smiling

What can I say. Good food . I have been a couple of times and always bang on.  Deffo recommended 👌

The Chai Station was buzzing! Lovely place for delicious, fresh, wholesome food. The portion sizes were very generous. Service was on point and the staff were very accommodating and friendly. The sausages in my English breakfast were the best I’ve ever had. Karak chai was awesome.

Ordered Lahori desi breakfast and paratha with omelette and karak chai. First time had tasted real parathas rather than frozen readymade ones. Absolutely perfect, karak chai was amazing as well. Only one fault halwa poori was served very cold, n dried by the time it got to our table. Overall amazing service.

Food is tasty and unique. Presentation is very nice.
Chicken pie was so delicious... mash potato was the softest I’ve had too. The gosht curry was soooooo good... the desi omelette and parantha is also something you have to try.... such great food.
Lahori breakfast very nice... topped with a better chai than chaiiwala.
Will definitely be going back...
Lovely friendly staff there too, and the place looks so nice and is comfortable inside.

Scholars Restaurant

Another great meal at Scholars.
We always look forward to our end of year meal knowing that Scholars will always deliver. The meal was exceptional, beautifully presented, good quality ingredients and generous portions.
The service and atmosphere were very good. The staff were very attentive.

Came here with a friend today for the set Christmas lunch and it was absolutely outstanding.
The staff/students are extremely polite and professional and are an absolute credit to the college. The service from them all was impeccable and spot on.
The meal, (pre-starter of breads, starter of soup, main of traditional Christmas lunch, dessert of chocolate torte) was the best meal I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. It was served hot, nice portion size and was absolute quality food.
I will without a doubt be visiting here every Christmas for lunch, and looking to see if I can book in during the year to experience other foods from here.
Well done everyone at Scholars, phenomenal lunch.

Yet again, it was an absolutely wonderful meal. Karen @team are working so hard to provide great food and fab service. Christmas dinner was so delicious, and portion sizes were large. Got some extra Christmas pudding and chocolate melts. We are looking forward to our next visit.

We had our Christmas meal here today from Arts 2 Heal. It was fantastic, every course was simply perfect!! The friendly staff were so lovely and made us all feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Defo recommend.  Thank you!!

Where do I start....I was blown away by the four course vegan plant based menu priced at £12 the catering students at Blackburn College, created, cooked and served at Scholars.   I and my husband went for lunch and the whole experience far exceeded our expectations, the food was amazing, beautifully presented, cooked, seasoned and was an absolute delight to eat.   This is accomplished, confident cooking and yet the chefs are only aged 16 to 19 and their talents put to shame many of the places I have dined, where the vegan food has been a token gesture, an after thought of just putting any old rubbish on the plate.  Scholars vegan food was well thought out, creative, exciting and cooked with passion.  These are our chefs of the future, how lucky are we.   I had a chat with student chefs Imogen and Gem (who made our mushroom dish & dessert respectively) who were so enthusiastic about their cooking.  The front of house team were equally as good, serving the dishes and making sure we had drinks etc and checking if we liked the food.   Credit is due to their mentor Head Chef Dave and Restaurant Manager Karen for introducing a vegan plant based menu.   I cannot wait to go back.

Scholars

Kohi Coffee House

What can I say, I think I might be a tad bit obsessed with Kohi. I’m there like every week. Not only are all their drinks a 10/10, but all the pocket sandwiches are to die for. The design and aesthetic of the shop makes you feel like you’re in a big city and it’s honestly gorgeous. I’m from nyc and I’ve been waiting so long for a vibey coffee shop to open in Blackburn. I’m so glad Kohi did it first because they did it right. I love coming here to do my work and I come so often that I practically live here. The staff are so lovely, they make me feel really comfortable and excited to come back. All my friends in nyc want to come visit because of how much I post them online, it just looks as amazing as it tastes. 

Came all the way from West Yorkshire and honestly? Worth every mile.
KOHI delivered on all fronts
food, service, and calm chill aesthetics.

I had the Ribeye Toast, served in the tastiest Shokupan bread.
The ribeye was just slightly chewy (hence the 9/10), but flavour-wise? The flavours were flavouring in all the right ways 🔥

The Passion Fruit Iced Lemonade complemented the meal so well which was refreshing, although I didn’t enjoy drinking what was left over on its own, it was made to compliment the sandos.

Loved the Japanese inspired concept, the space had a really zen feel, and the staff were super friendly. No wait time, and ordering via the app made everything smooth and stress free.

Only downside I’d say is it’s a little hard to get in touch with them. There’s no number listed online, and the one that appears after ordering doesn’t work, which was a bit frustrating. That said, my order arrived without any issues.

If you’re thinking of visiting, do it!

even if you’re not local. Absolutely worth the trip. ⭐️

Tried Kohi for the first time today — the coffee was great, and the toast sandwich was amazing! I went for the classic egg one. It’s not your usual toastie — the bread itself is something special: crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside. The flavours were simple but perfectly balanced. Definitely going back to try more!
Thanks for the experience😊

First time trying this place, the drinks were nice and the aesthetics of the place were great!

However, the customer service wasn’t so great, it would put me off going again. No how are you or even a smile and I thought the north was supposed to be friendlier? The drinks were made quickly and service efficient. But the people skills, it definitely needs to be worked upon as it did let the experience down.  The place is small as well, not many tables so when it’s busy it is hard to find somewhere to sit!!

Absolutely loved this place. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm, cosy, and welcoming. The coffee was genuinely one of the best I’ve had — smooth, rich, and clearly made with care rather than rushed. You can tell the baristas know what they’re doing, and the attention to detail really shows.

The space itself is perfect whether you’re meeting a friend, getting some work done, or just taking a quiet break. Everything felt clean, relaxed, and thoughtfully set up. On top of that, the staff were friendly without being overbearing, which made the experience even better.

This is definitely a go-to spot and somewhere I’ll keep coming back to. If you’re looking for great coffee and a lovely atmosphere, this place is 100% worth a visit.

Cafe RAHA

The café offers a somewhat pleasant experience. The coffee was average and didn’t particularly stand out — it was fine. The desserts were decent, but considering the price, they fell a little short of expectations and weren’t as outstanding as hoped. That said, the atmosphere is very nice and makes it a comfortable place to sit and dine, which definitely adds to the experience. The service was good throughout, with friendly staff. Overall, it’s a spot mainly for the ambience, even if the dessert and coffee could be stronger.

After months of being open and allowing the place enough time to settle, I decided to visit  cafe Raha. We were met at the door and given a place to sit down once the table was ready. We waited quite some time before our order was eventually taken. We ordered the brisket melt toastie and a full English breakfast alongside an iced Spanish latte and white chocolate & pistachio matcha. The food and drinks were very nice and I don’t really have any complaints other than the fact the sourdough toast could’ve been more toasted instead of tasting like warm bread.

The only issue I had was the service which could’ve been a lot better. We waited a while for our order to be taken, we waited a very long time for our food and it seems they forgot our drinks order as they had to be reminded a few times to bring our drinks which we only received after we started eating our food I so would highly advise giving yourself extra time when you visit!

Café Raha is more than just a place to eat — it’s a space that soothes the soul. From the moment I walked in, I felt an incredible sense of calm. The warm lighting, gentle colours, and elegant simplicity created an atmosphere that felt almost therapeutic. It’s one of those rare places where you instantly want to slow down, stay longer, and just be present.
What stood out most to me wasn’t just the taste of the food but the feeling of the place — peaceful, grounding, and comforting. Café Raha truly lives up to its name, offering a sense of rest and ease that stays with you long after you leave.
🌟 Also have a Beautiful prayer room to.

First time here,came with family this review is my own for my food and experience, parking is very limited on arrival staff member was welcoming, decor was nice, I ordered the full English breakfast with a cappuccino, I was displaying in the size of the portion, one sausage instead of two! The tomotas were tiny, the cappuccino I wasn't impressed with looked fancy but taste wasn't good, then to put the icing on a group came to the door on the side and the server opened it, to let them in instead of guiding them to the main entrance so while we were eating we were hit with the cold air from outside and today it was really cold

We visited this place two days ago for brunch (all the way from Manchester) and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed very warmly. Our server, Mahnoor, made us feel extra special. As soon as she found out we had come from Manchester, she told us we were their special guests and treated us with such kindness and care. She truly went above and beyond to look after us.

The food was spot on in every way. We ordered Brisket loaded fries, Brisket sandwich, Steak & onion Sandwich, Lamb Chops, Chicken & avocado focaccia and Matilda cake. The portions were very generous and the flavours were amazing. The Arab themed ambience was also excellent, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed brunch.

We even had the chance to meet the chef, Tehreem, and personally told her how much we enjoyed the food. She was lovely and it was great to thank her directly.

Overall, we really liked everything about this place and will definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

Cafe Raha

Cafe Blanć

I came to this place after watching reviews (big mistake)

Service is poor, but that's because of the staff themselves. Theyr lovely. Its just really under staffed.

Food is below average unfortunately.

Butter chicken is served on a hot small wok which burns the chicken. The chicken was heated from frozen and was stringy and looked dark brown (a sign its days old and frozen)

The pina colada was horrible. I think the coconut milk was off and theyd accidentally served it without checking im guessing. Bits of gone off milk (yoghurt pieces) were floating on the top.

Keema chips was really oily and flavourless.

Our now favourite goto stop for a afternoon snack , lunch or just a tea and cake.
Nice options on menu not cluttered with too much.
Staff are excellent.
Chatted to the chef commended her on the outstanding cooking.
Waitress very attentive and smiling greeting customers.
Wanted to congratulate the manager / owner but he wasn't there.

Love this place, great atmosphere friendly staff best tasting English breakfast in Blackburn I’d say not badly priced either. Masala chips were absolutely delicious. Can be a little loud in there at times.

First time trying and won't be the last. From the minute we walked in to walking out the experience was 10/10. Staff attentive and a huge menu to choose from. Opted for the full English and a club sandwich and O.M.G it was AMAZING!! Will definitely be returning.

I ordered the chilli beef loaded fries for £7.50 which included chilli’s, seasoning, spice, mayo, cheese sauce, jalapeños. the person who i was with ordered chicken loaded fries for £5.50 which included the same but the beef was at a higher price. when both the loaded fries came, the chicken ones came with all the toppings included, however the beef fries came with no toppings supposed to be inlcuded, just the beef and fries. not worth £2 extra to have practically just fries on my plate when the offer loaded fries

Chaii Caffe

Went in for a quick breakfast after driving by  and was quietly blown away. The service was fantastic, and the girl taking orders was absolutely brilliant. She even let me try a little karak chai as I was undecided. I was in a rush so I didn't get a chance, but honestly, a massive thanks to her.

The food was amazing, so fresh and full of taste. The chai latte sublime. The place was spotless, everything was so clean and tidy, and as someone with OCD, this is a deal breaker for me.

I'm already looking forward to my next visit. I can't recommend this place enough.

Excellent experience today. Their Lacha paratha is the best in town. Staff very considerate and helpful. Very clean place despite very busy today. (Eid day).
Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again soon too.

Me and my 4 friends visited on Friday night (08/11/24). Ordered some doughnuts and Chai. Placing order was straight forward. Friendly staff, good deco and good lighting. Food took a little longer than expected to come out, but when we did get our food it was nice and fresh. The doughnuts were super soft and really tasty. The tea was really nice and had a lovely flavour and texture. I would definitely try this place out of you are in the area, but not if you are in a rush. We had a good experience so will be visiting again.

I've been to all the chai shops in Blackburn but chai cafe is by far the best. Young Kulsum was very friendly, makes a refreshing change from the other chai shops where the staff can't even manage a smile. Keep up the good work Kulsum.

Had visited this cafe for breakfast. They serve English and Indian food. We tried the lamb Kebab Roll and full English Breakfast. It was worth the price and quick service. The staff were friendly and fresh food was served. Made our day.

Caffee Impresso

Had to downgrade from 5 stars to 3 because we found a hair in our dessert, and that's after it took over 20 minutes to be made 😕

A nice cafe that's tucked away to the side of the town centre, surprisingly never noticed it before.

As you enter the atmosphere and visual style of the place is modern and clean, but also welcoming. Plenty of tables for small groups and a few booths for bigger parties.

The staff is very welcoming, and have great service.

The food is delicious, including the big variety of drinks such as different teas (chais).

Highly recommend a visit!

I visited today with my wife and children and ordered two beef burgers along with other items. I was disappointed to discover that the beef patties were clearly the cheap, frozen kind you can buy at supermarkets for very little money. This was particularly surprising given that the menu describes them as “beef mince baked in the oven” and charges nearly £10 per burger.
I’m a regular customer and have ordered these same burgers with my family many times before, including as recently as last month, and they’ve always been made with proper beef mince. I’m not sure what’s changed, but the quality has dropped significantly while the price remains the same. I would never buy these frozen patties for my own cooking, so paying £10 for them at a restaurant feels like very poor value.

This was supposed to be a chocolate brownie waffle with white sauce — but there was no brownie, and no white sauce. What I did get was an extremely hard waffle that tasted stale and was thrown together with no care at all. Easily the worst I've had. Would not recommend.

Absolutely lovely place. Definitely coming back. Coffee was delicious, so were cakes. Customer service was brilliant. They have a large selection of beverages and food, also vegan options. Cute and stylish interior is a bonus 😊

Came twice once for drinks and once for desserts and was welcomed by such lovely staff was specifically impressed by the customer service provided by reena and lateisha (not sure if I have spelt that correctly) but we really enjoyed our experience. Highly recommend

Bee's Breakfast Ltd

A very welcoming cafe, I was lucky I caught them when it was quiet, they had been extremely busy.
Lovely place to sit and relax whilst you enjoy your meal. I had a full English which as excellent and certainly filled me 😀

They also have a serving hatch especially for takeaway/ drive through pick up.

If you are in the area, or want to travel a short distance like I did I would definitely recommend a visit, great food, great service, good sized car park, toilet.

I’ll be definitely visiting again 👍
Also Highly recommended by their customers 😀

Absolutely horrible experience. Terrible, terrible customer service. I genuinely left in tears with my 10 year old. The food was standard:
A full English for my son which was £10, *sausages were yummy!
*He had NO bacon which i suspect isnt right, so i gave him my strip from my burger (no issue).
*Beans were cheap and very sweet, nasty.
*Eggs were burnt at bottom (suspectedly left on hot plate and cooked way before)
*hashbrowns tasted refried as they were somewhat cold and oily? Could be wrong.
Everything was rustled in all of 4 minutes so im guessing was waiting on hot plates.
*White bread was stale, cold and dry, I asked for some butter - woman replied theres already butter on it.
There was in fact... no butter on it.

I asked for cutlery the same woman serving ignored me,
There were no other diners in shop, just us.
I asked once more this time louder and she gave me a death stare 🤣 a literal death stare and asked if I NEEDED it. To which my son replied he'd be fine to eat with hands. She walked off, not so much as a response to him or me. Prior to that she very much slammed both our plates on the table and didnt conduct the basic ettiquacys of giving napkins, cutlery and sauces along with our plates.

Id deduced woman was having a bad day, so I made sure to stop by the counter and thank her personally before I left and asked my son to do the same. She dismissed us once more.
The atmosphere here was like a morgue just because of this servers behaviour so we left in a hurry and forgot to ask her for our drink (inclusive in meal). I cant assume someone's intent, but given all the other behaviours, I assumed she'd not given us the drink to be nasty. We drove back 10mins to collect it and were met with the same now intolerable woman at collection point. I was now livid, I gave her one chance to apologise and my conduct towards her remained polite. She again gave us a half cup of tea and stormed off once more so I asked the "owner" if I could complain about her behaviour to the Manager, he told me he was the owner and apologised and I responded "i think youre not and youre just trying to get rid of me"
(A calculated guess)
He responded -
"Well shes my wife and I dont think she did any of the things you mentioned"

🤣🙃 definitely an absolute waste of £17, I wish I made eggs at home and gave that money to charity instead.

Occasionally stop here for breakfast while working / travelling.
Everything I’ve tried is good, they have in house made parathas.
Paninis are tasty - large and filling.
I’m not much of a tea drinker but really enjoyed their Karak tea

I tried the Fully Loaded Bun and it was genuinely impressive—soft, fresh, and full of flavor. Their House Sauce adds a nice touch without overpowering anything. I also had the French Toast, which was light and perfectly sweet. I’ve gone through most of the menu by now, and every item has its own unique taste. Nothing feels repetitive.

Came here for brunch. Nice small cosy place which was busy when we arrived.

Menu has something for everyone, breakfast, burgers, loaded fries all depends what you fancy. We ordered something different to try. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Service was really quick and super friendly.

Overall it's a good place to try.
