About Planks Kitchen

Planks Kitchen is a cafe in Preston, its walls decorated with old doors. The 18-item menu runs from Avocado on Toast with Poached Egg to a Deli Plate, a Vegan Breakfast, a Planks Granola Bowl and a Deli Bowl, alongside vegetarian and vegan salads and a selection of cakes. Cold press juices and smoothies are on offer too, including a juice of the day made with pineapple, lime, apple, cucumber and spinach, and coffee rounds out the counter. It opens daily for daytime hours only, and reservations are recommended since tables fill up.

Customer Review Summary

Avocado on toast with poached egg draws repeated praise, with reviewers calling it "beautiful" and highlighting fresh, home-made cooking. Close behind is the cake selection, mentioned again and again as a treat alongside the vegan breakfast and cold press juices like the pineapple, lime, apple, cucumber and spinach blend. Coffee also earns steady mentions, with several calling it "great." Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and welcoming, and the setting, decorated with old doors, is called cozy and unique. The one recurring caveat is that the cafe gets very busy, especially on weekends, and multiple reviewers note that booking ahead is recommended to avoid disappointment, though one adds that nobody was turned away even on a packed Saturday.

    “I love Planks and as it's not local to where we live, it's been awhile since our last visit. Booking is recommended it's a very busy place. Called for lunch and ordered two juices of the day, pineapple, lime, apple, cucumber and spinach …”

    “I can't rave about this hidden gem enough. Good selection of food, all prepared fresh and all meal choices plentiful. The drink and cake selection also matches this. Reasonable prices, great atmosphere, friendly staff and the little touches do make it a really beautiful place to either catch up or unwind”
  • Laura Sylvester
    “I absolutely love it here. The menu is always incredible, so many great vegetarian and vegan options, lots of healthy salads and selection of cakes. The staff always go above and beyond to accommodate you and the place itself is simply stunning. So rustic, grounding and feel good. Highly highly recommend. Situated in a lovely, peaceful area too.”
