About Brucciani's Café

Brucciani's Café sits behind a small shop front on Fishergate in Preston, which opens into a much larger period interior with a staircase, pictures on the walls and stained glass windows, and plenty of seating throughout. Lunch runs to jacket potatoes, sandwiches and a soup of the day, and a breakfast is served alongside them, while a selection of cakes and cheesecake sits on display at the counter. Hot drinks and milkshakes are served to sit in. The café works on a walk-in basis rather than bookings and opens daily, and it fills up at peak shopping times, when the team helps find tables. A step-free entrance makes the room reachable for visitors with mobility needs, high chairs are on hand for families with young children, and tables outside give the option of eating outdoors. Dogs are welcome in the café. Customers take their own cutlery from a bowl rather than having it brought over.

Customer Review Summary

The interior draws the most comment: reviewers single out the stained glass windows, the staircase and the pictures on the walls, and several are surprised by how much seating sits behind the small shop front. Close behind is the atmosphere, described as relaxing and nostalgic even when the place is packed, and a welcome change from a chain coffee shop, with one visitor advising sitting in rather than taking away. Cakes and coffee come up often, the cheesecake and hot chocolate praised, and one diner calls the grande breakfast lovely and made with care. Cost is the recurring complaint, with several calling the food expensive. One lunch pair describe a leek and potato soup arriving in a small bowl only half filled, a cheese and onion sandwich made with hard-edged cheese slices that went half eaten, and coffee that was not very warm. Others mention slow food service, and one recalls asking for a spoon and being pointed toward the cutlery. A reviewer who disliked a banana milkshake says staff sorted it quickly.

    “Exceptional Cafe/Restaurant close to the train station & well worth seeking out as an alternative to bland hotel offerings. The interior is stunning & the staff are helpful, engaging & polite. I had the grande breakfast & it was lovely made with care & quality ingredients. Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
  • S Jones
    “Wehave walked past Brucciani's for years but today randomly decided to pop in for lunch. What a fabulous cafe! It does exactly what it says on the tin. Food and atmosphere are spot on. We will definitely back and fully recommend.”
  • Joanne Grubb
    “It a long time since we visited here. Still the same design cafe & layout. Food is good & plenty of cake selection. It really for quick bites. Echoed background noise cant be helped. Not design for wheelchair access if it busy unless you stay outside of the cafe.”
