About Coffee in Pendle

I go there whenever I can. I’ve worked in restaurants for over 40 years and I think it's the best coffee around. Cakes are spot on too and the staff are brilliant. Martin

My friends and I look forward to our weekly get together at 'About Coffee' to enjoy the best coffee in the North West. All the different coffees are prepared and presented to a very high standard by welcoming and friendly baristas. The choice of delicious, fresh cakes are varied and consumed with gusto. However be prepared to queue for a few minutes as this gem of a shop is really popular.

My favourite place in Colne to sit, have a great cup of coffee and enjoy reading a book or just watching the world go by. Brilliant friendly service , good choice of cakes, toast etc and all round top coffee shop.

This is our favourite coffee shop in Colne, it is located at the top of the hill in the centre of town. There is a very good coffee menu and we always enjoy two Cortado costing £2:60 each. The quality is excellent. Very friendly service and understandably popular with locals.

Good, fast service and delicious hot chocolate! The cafe looked lovely and clean inside with interesting products on sale too.

About coffee had been recommended to me by my friend and I felt I had to pay it a visit. Unfortunately my car had broken down due to a infestation of ferrits chewing my throttle cable in half so to get there on my only day off for 6 months, I decided to ride my horse Terry and to make sure I arrived when they opened at 8am I had to set off the night before at 10.30pm. I left Batley, West Yorkshire in torrential rain and howling wind and my shoe fell off whilst Terry had become disturbed by a bin bag blowing in the wind so I was open to the elements, but after such roaring reviews I persevered through the many obstacles that I was to encounter. Not far out of Bradford at around midnight my other shoe fell off and I contracted a mild skin condition but as I said, the glowing reviews spurred me on. At Shipley I was accosted by a group of around 11 men and they demanded I gave them my hat. I couldn't argue or fight my way out of this predicament so shoeless and hatless I soldiered on through the night salivating at the thought of the fantastic caffeine rich beverages coming my way. Upon arriving in bandit country, otherwise known as Keighley, I had to make sure my wits were about me and took a short cut over the moors. Bullets were dodged and I was becoming saddle sore but hot coffee was calling from over the boarder. At this point it had got to 2am and the pair of us were cold and tired but we pressed on into the cold night. As the sun began to rise over the border into Lancashire we walked straight into a bog and Terry said he had had enough of this ridiculous, farcical and ill organised debacle and he trotted off back in the direction of Batley. So there I was, shoeless, hatless and horseless in the pooring rain but I was nearly there. I could smell the coffee wafting over the hill. Upon reaching Colne my skin condition had manifested into Vitiligo and I was struggling to walk so I crawled the rest of the way. All of a sudden I could see about coffee like a beacon of hope. I crawled through the door, battered bruised and parched and was politely informed the coffee machine was knackered and i was offered tea which I am allergic to. I turned around and went back to Batley. Picked up a coffee in Greg's instead.

Went for a walk in Colne while my wife was at boundary Mill. What a pleasant surprise to find this lovely coffee shop in what for me is a quite depressing town centre. I had a cafetiere with the choice of beans chosen by one of the staff. It was really good and made 2 decent cups. One of the few places to go in Colne.

as its lockdown we can only get takeaway but it is still excellent servis by 2 very nice polite lady allway have awarm welcome every time a go past or buy a coffee

Working in a market town has its perks and ‘about coffee’ is definitely one of them. Despite living and working in Colne for several years I’ve only recently bought coffee from here and I really wish I had started sooner. They have an excellent selection of coffees to suit all tastes, weather (iced almond milk lattes are Devine), and needs and the coffee is simply delicious. Absolute gem with great service AND recyclable packaging is a bonus!

I visit About Coffee on a regular basis and the new owners/staff are doing an excellent job in maintaining the standard that Colin and Sue established.

great coffee, lovely friendly staff and plenty of cakes to choose from. Enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and all the coffee-related bits and bobs also on sale

One of my favourite places to get coffee in the world. Always great service and there's a huge selection to choose from. 100% recommend.

We always call in here when in Colne. Brilliant coffee and cake with friendly staff and a great atmosphere.

Love this place, so clean and ooodles of tea and coffee choices as well as vegan cakes, fruited toast is a must and the hosts are very open and friendly.

Love the coffee here and the toast is delicious. Nice, easy going friendly atmosphere. A must if visiting Colne.

I am a huge fan of coffee, I have visited this little cafe a number of times and have never been disappointed. Freshly ground coffee served perfectly. The cakes are great too!

Definitely one of the nicest coffee shops in Pendle, with vegan milk and cake options. Lots of seating and there's a variety of tea and coffee products to buy. Huge menu also.

During our visit to Colne yesterday we stumbled over this little jem. Small but perfectly formed, it was the perfect retreat for coffee and cake. The staff were so friendly and helpful; they were lovely with our children. They have such a wide range of coffees and teas available, as well as a range of accessories that they sold- all of really high quality. We will definitely return!

Excellent Coffee, friendly staff, what more do you want highly recommended if your in town and fancy a coffe

Buzz place with homemade cakes and great atmosphere. Also great variety of leaf teas. The best coffee house in East Lancashire

Was asked to attend a meeting here today and wasn't exactly keen on the venue as I loathe coffee. Went for the soft option and chose a hot chocolate. Boy, the first sip was amazing - i never tasted anything so good , and it was an experience I won't forget in a hurry, that be true. The venue was really rustic and fits in well with Colne's continued regeneration. They're certainly giving Hebdon Bridge a run for its money. Wonderful place I will certainly be going back with the family next time and may even be tempted to try the coffee.

We are not local to Colne and having legged it up Windy Hill for a mouch around the town we came across this fine coffee shop. Just brilliant, we had two shop blend coffees one with and one without milk, just Devine. Treat yourself, you will not be disappointed. I will certainly be asking my daughter to buy me some beans from them as a Christmas gift and will be calling again whenever we are over that way

Always a warm welcome and very relaxing. Large selection of coffees to choose from . Highly recommended. Very popular coffee shop. Score ten out of ten.

This is the place to visit if your a coffee or Hot chocolate lover, i have been a few times and there is a lot of choice of coffee, made with assortment of beans of your choice, the hot chocolate is made with real chocolate, friendly staff and very clean inside. You can also buy products ie tea/coffee.

This coffee shop is located on the main shopping street in the centre of Colne.

I often meet friends at About Coffee. There’s always a friendly atmosphere and I always find the staff to be very welcoming. The coffee is delicious with lots of choice on offer and the Florentines are something else.

Lovely little coffee shop...decor really nice and the coffee was fab. Cakes yummy too and staff really friendly...

really enjoyed the coffee, very impressed however the service could do with a smile adding into the mix

In my opinion you'll have the best cup of coffee in Lancashire! However you take your coffee you will not be disappointed. Great menu, tea as well. Love how you can also buy freshly ground coffee or beans, tea etc to take home. Lovely chilled atmosphere and delicious cakes.

A favourite place to call in for a really lovely coffee when meeting up with friends and colleagues. Vast choice of coffees - and teas. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended!

I love my weekly visits to About Coffee either with my son, solo or with friends. Excellent coffee, lovely choice of cakes and staff are very welcoming. Feels like a really positive community centred venture.

Ive already left a review a while back and after the first visit I make this place my go to coffee spot a few times a week now.

Great coffee (and tea) with excellent service. Fabulous range to suit every taste plus a nice range of light bites to make you linger a little longer in this lovely environment. Well recommended.

Excellant Coffee , Hot Chocolate and Cake. Lovely helpful and Happy staff Looking forward to our next visit

I visit here with a friend who has to have gluten free. And we know that they take special care that cakes are not cross contaminated. Lovely coffees and teas, dogs welcome as well.

Great drink to set you up for the day. Skinny latte with a tulip was great for the healthy option or you could indulge and have a delicious cake. Staff great in helping you choose your perfect drink. Great place highly recommend.

The shop has a nice interior and deco, indie plus modern plus warmmy.. dont know the word to call. In general, good. I had matcha and one of the cake to try. The match is ok but the cake is not that I expect.

Just about everything you would expect from a specialist coffee house. Choice!! A host of exotic coffees available made to your expectations, all at reasonable prices.

This is a fantastic café... Great atmosphere, delicious scones and amazing coffee. Would highly recommend.

This coffee place stands out in Colne. It wouldn't be out of place in a city. Quality and range of coffee, teas and cakes. Comfortable seating and friendly helpful staff.

Just popped in for a flat white and a chat with friends, warm greeting and hot coffee, great flavour and proper grinds I'll be back.

Stuck in Nelson - 2 miles away but I can't ever see an excellent cafe like this ever coming to my town. I guess that tells you a lot! Perhaps Nelson could swap some of its excellent take-out entrepots for similar cafes. Even if this cafe was in a big city, with mega-choices, it would be an excellent choice. Calm, unpretentious but with possibly the best coffee for many miles. I'm a big cake fan, and the guys make their own from what I understand. Relatively inexpensive and cosy, I can't think of a better place to relax for an hour. All th best.

Best coffee shop for miles around. The staff are friendly and helpful, there's a wide variety of teas and coffees and the cakes are always wonderful.

Great range of coffees and catering well for the dairy free diet. Offered two vegan cakes/bakes and soya milk was no problem. Great soya cappucinno. Surroundings are modern and bright. Thoroughly recommend this cafe, a refreshing change to the chains.

Wonderful across from Witherspoon in Colne I had a tea made with loose tea and a scone my friend had a cappuccino with a scone and they are not skinny with the butter best tea in Colne full flavour my friend loved her coffee excellent choice of tea coffee and cakes from jenny

Un gran lugar para estar. Un maravilloso café y pasteles deliciosos para tentarte o ir sencilla con tostadas o bollos. Disfrute en su propio o en un grupo. Bien merece una visita y entonces sin duda volveremos a menudo.

Brilliant little cafe with best coffee around, always friendly welcome & great service. Good for breakfast, snack & drinks.

Always brilliant coffee & friendly staff. Visit whenever in Colne. Bought beans on this visit & enjoying the coffee at home now.

Great coffee and the best latte macchiato (layered) outside of Bar Central, Port Andraxt, Majorca.The crumpets and raspberry slice were great too.

Fabulous place to go for any kind of coffee or tea and lovely home made cakes. Has become the heart of the Colne community. Friendly staff and customers, lots of banter but you can be private if you want to be!

Wonderful place for a coffee and catch up with friends In the centre of town and next to the parish church :-)

Every time I go to this cafe the coffee and cakes are excellent, and the service really friendly. It's delightful.

Found via the internet as we needed a coffee shop where we could meet up in Colne. About Coffee Ltd was just the ticket! Wide choice of excellent coffee and wholemeal scones which were perfect. Will certainly visit again as through Colne and locals are lucky to have it on their doorstep!

Coffee really good and the variety of toasts and crumpets are excellent Would recommend that you drop in when next in Colne I know I will

The staff here are passionate about coffee, Colin has done a lot of research and only sells the best coffee beans, ground or in the cup.. The standard is always the same- excellent.

Really nice coffee shop, great coffee, lovely people and comfy, relaxed environment. Definitely the place for coffee in Colne

Best cofee shop in colne , besr cofee , good snacks alla t a reasonable price . Gets too packed sometimes but that is because they are so good

The coffee was good and they offer free water, the only negative was the atmosphere, it could do with being a bit more relaxed with some comfier seating and music, I had to listen to the 3 workers and a customer chatting really loud right next to my table. Actually I don't think she even bought anything, just came in to chat. Was there music? If there was it needed to be a bit louder to drown out the conversations!

My partner and i come here frequently! We absolutely love it! The coffee is always made perfectly and they have a great selection to choose from as well as lovely fresh cakes

Service with a smile, staff always make an effort with the kids, great cake and hot chocolate.Thanks. Will return.

The Staff were very welcoming and friendly, the service good and the coffee and cake were. You were made to feel you feel you belonged.

Fairly small, c. 20 covers, family run coffee shop. Excellent choice and quality of coffees, hot chocolates and teas, plus cakes and chocolate. Friendly staff, warm welcome, reasonable prices.

Best coffee I've had in this area by miles! Lovely selection of breads for toast in a morning too, an asset to Colne town centre.

If you want great coffee visit here...I do nearly every day it's open. Good selection of coffees & teas and the baristas always give advice on selection of what coffee or tea you'd like.

Bloody good coffee! You can get a cheaper cup in several places in the town - but why would you? There is a whole world of difference between price and value - and About coffee provide exceptional value because of the quality of their product.There is a damn good bookshop couple of doors away as well - what more could you wish for?

Lovely fresh coffee and you can buy the beans to make at home, the staff are extremely knowledgeable. Lovely relaxed atmosphere

I decided to come here while I was in Colne as I was in the mood for a quick cake and a drink. Since this place had a good reputation and was in an ideal location in the centre of town, I picked this place over the rest of the competition. Coming here definitely proved to be the right decision as everything I had was great, while the service was also good due to polite and friendly staff. When I first walked in, I couldn't help but notice how cheap everything seemed to be. I saw why this was the case when the food and drink arrived though as the portion sizes are smaller than usual. That doesn't mean that you get a bad deal though as you definitely get your money's worth.When it comes to food, the menu here is extremely limited as, unlike most coffee shops, they only sell toast, crumpets and cakes. While the crumpet is only available in its most basic form, there is a lot to choose from with the others though. The range of toast was rather impressive as it included things like fruit toast and multiseed alongside more common kinds of bread. With somewhere between 10 and 15 cakes, there was also plenty to choose from here, while they were also nice and varied including things like Eccles cakes and Florentines alongside the usual mix of sponge and chocolate based cakes. While there might not be much in the way of food, there is definitely a lot when it comes to drink. Around 30 different kinds of tea as well as 8 different coffee beans are available here. The rest of the hot drinks are otherwise the same as you get everywhere else, with the exception of a white hot chocolate. Even the range of cold drinks are impressive here as there are a number of iced teas and cold coffees to choose from. Milkshakes are also available, but they only come in the basic three flavours. While I was here I selected a hot chocolate to drink and a Maltesers square as my cake.I'm usually not much of a fan of a thick layer of froth on hot chocolates but, since it had a decent chocolatey flavour to it here, I found it to be pleasing. The cocoa powder on top, which I usually like, seemed to be a bit too bitter for my liking though. The hot chocolate itself was really smooth, while it also tasted really chocolatey. Instead of being the sweet kind that most places serve, this was a proper hot chocolate, having a slightly bitter flavour to it. The bitterness was only subtle though, which meant that it was a positive rather than a negative. It wasn't as though the drink wasn't sweet at all either. It just wasn't as sweet as hot chocolates usually are.The Maltesers square had a thick milk chocolate layer on the bottom, which had a consistency somewhere between that of fudge and a biscuit. This meant that it was both somewhat soft and somewhat crunchy at the same time. Even in terms of flavour it seemed a bit different as its sweetness seemed to be between chocolate and fudge. Crunchy balls, like you find in Maltesers, were inside but these were clearly very different from the core of the actual Maltesers as they were simply average when it came to flavour. A thinner layer of white chocolate was on top of the milk chocolate layer. This was soft and smooth, while it possessed a rather buttery flavour. The cake was then topped off with small flakes of milk chocolate, which blended in seamlessly.It wasn't just the food and drink that was good here as the service stood out as well. This was due to the staff being polite and friendly throughout, even if they weren't as talkative as staff can be in other independent cafés. The key event for the service was that, when I sat down at the table next to the window, one of the staff members came over to pull the blinds down so that the sun wasn't shining in my eyes. Unlike some cafés, you are required to pay for your order up front here. They deliver both the food and drink to the table though, so you don't have to stand around to collect it. My cake was also served at the same time as my drink which, despite being a simple thing, isn't the case everywhere you go.The prices here are noticeably cheaper than your average coffee shop, although this appears to be reflected in the portion size. Ultimately you get what you pay for as my large hot chocolate was the size of what would be a regular one in most other places. My cake was significantly smaller than average as well, but this was reflected in the price. To give a feel for the prices here, you are looking at £1.40 for toast or £1.50 for crumpets. The cakes were mostly priced between £1 and £2, keeping everything nice and cheap, while some were even a few pence below this. Coffee comes with a £3.75 charge for three cups, or a £6 charge for six cups. The rest of the hot drinks are priced between £2 and £2.50, other than £1.85 for a basic tea. While this meant that there wasn't anything that cost too much, it also meant that the teas were a little more expensive than usual. At £1.50, milkshakes appeared to be incredibly cheap here, although I do not know how large these were.The coffee shop is split into two separate areas, with a room being up a small flight of steps at the. The place features light grey walls with a few paintings providing decor, although the back area features additional items and is decorated much nicer. Several layers of shelves here display products they sell such as tea and mugs, while a couple of bicycles are placed on the very top shelves. The room also features a glass cabinet displaying various items of tea paraphernalia, which are also for sale. In terms of seating, four tables are located at the lower level, while five more are located up the stairs at the back. A single table is also placed outside the coffee shop, which means that there are ten tables here in total.

About coffee is my favourite coffee shop in the area. They have an extensive range of herbal teas and they also have the option of soya milk with their coffee. They sell dairy free chocolate which is brilliant and we buy ground coffee from them for our coffee machine at home; my boyfriend won't buy coffee from anywhere else as their house blend is brilliant! Would definitely reccomend to anybody, especially those who don't or can't have dairy products!

Can only comment on the drink this time. Popped in for a coffee and quick chat with friends, must return soon for coffee and one of their tempting cakes! There were quite afew customers and the place had a really friendly buzz

Having recently moved to the area I took my mother for a little stroll around Colne. We stopped for coffee and toast which was both very nice. The gentleman working there seemed very pleasant too. Our only issue was when we politely asked for extra butter we were told in an abrupt manner "it's 10p extra" from the lady working behind the counter. Whilst I feel petty writing about this, I think it's important for the owners of this coffee shop to value repeat custom and for the sake of 10p they lost out on a sale of the ground coffee we had planned to buy and tips!

Was recommended by garage where car been serviced and so glad they did. Had a great ammericano with hot milk and crumpets which were toasted to perfection. Atmosphere is very relaxed with background music and a few magazines about and lots of coffee and bits to buy. Staff very friendly and attentive.

We visited this coffee shop some weeks ago but I have finally got round to writing a review and to express my thanks for the trouble one of the owners took in explaining how to make good coffee at home. Apart from the coffees and ground coffee we bought on the day there was no advantage to him in spending so much time with us. However I can now make good coffee at home and we have since been back to buy an AeroPress coffee maker (worth having) to supplement my Aldi machine, and we will definately go back whenever we are in Colne. It is a very good shop, well worth a visit.

Myself and my friend visited for a drink. I had some lovely refreshing sarsaparilla and my friend had some tea pigs liquorice and peppermint tea which she said was the best she'd ever had.... And she's had a lot. Clean cafe, friendly staff... Prices ok

I've walked past this coffee shop loads of times, and never ventured in. Felt adventurous today, and had a lovely welcome from the friendly staff.The place seems to have a lovely cosy atmosphere, nice and relaxing, just like a coffee shop should be. I only had a cappuccino, but it was just the job, served with a little biscuit (I always like a little nibble with my coffee) ! I visit plenty of coffee shops, and this is one of the best I've found. It's quite quirky, and there's a good selection of cakes and different types of toast to choose from. I daresay they do a lot more things, but I was too busy savouring the coffee. Plenty of magazines to read, if you're flying solo, and lots of cycling-related stuff.What an enjoyable experience - I'll definitely be back !

Been here twice now,Great range of hot drinks and cakes!Also sell a wide variety of tea and coffee cups!

Best coffee place, friendly staff and superb cakes. Plus local area books to read whilst relaxing with your coffee or tea pig drink! Perfect

Called in as had some time to kill. Great place, massive range of drinks and fab cakes. Well worth calling in if you are in the area.

We visited this fabulous coffee shop today. The welcome was warm, and the coffee shop was cosy. The coffee is made with great care and the selection of cakes is amazing. Everywhere was beautifully clean. The coffee was one of the nicest I have tasted for a while. I can recommend it to any who loves a fantastic coffee and a cake. Thank you.

Great coffee, atmosphere, and CAKES.Welcomed with interesting guidance relating to the different blends. informative but not intrusive, definitely on my list of must keep visiting.

Fabulous coffees, many of which I'd never heard of and a great choice of cakes. I had the double expresso over melted white chocolate and my wife some kind of super deluxe latte.Very friendly proprietor and staff, happy to tell you about the products. Very clean, quickly cleared tables. Nice decor and good vibe.

Fantastic gem of a coffee shop. Haven't yet sampled a cake but there's always different choices and they look fresh and delicious. We love the white hot chocolate and my little girl loves the traditional lemonade. Value for money and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

A nice place, with good coffee, who could ask more of a coffee shop?Good selection of coffees and many, many teas to choose from.Recommended.

Good selection of teas and coffees. We had toast but there was also several cakes to choose from. Pleasant and relaxing atmosphere.

On a recent trip to northern Italy I tried several coffees. None were better than those on offer in About Coffee. Keep up the good work!

Love this friendly coffee shop. Excellent range of coffee, teas & other hot & cold drinks. They also serve light sweet & savoury snacks. Owners helpful & explain their range of drinks. Great collection of old books on Colne & the surrounding areas to browse over too. Great asset to Colne

An excellent cafe for tea which are tea leaves, served in a filted taepot, coffee in big cups, and lots of flavours to choose from with both tea and coffee both of which can be bought to take home as can the teapots and mugs.the cakes are all localy made and melt in the mouth, friendly staff and clean shop make it a delight to visit.

The one and only place to enjoy a decent coffee for miles and miles and leaves some of the multiples in the shade!!!!

I am a regular visitor to About Coffee and always find a warm welcome and excellent coffee and speciality toast and cakes. The owners are pleasant and attentive and maintain high standards at all times.

After walking nearby headed to 'about coffee' after reading reviews on trip advisor. Very pleased with the choice. Staff friendly and accommodating. Very good range of coffees and cakes. Order arrived in good time and tasted as good.....After this why would anyone bother with one of the more commercial chains. Definitely will be back

Found this coffee and tea shop when we were at the R & B Festival. The coffee was excellent and the staff so friendly and knowledgable, the range of teas, coffees and other drinks is huge for such a little shop. Will definitely be going back next time we are in Colne. Just wish it was nearer.

Really serious about coffee. I have spent much of gns last 3 years in London but this place takes its coffee as seriously as the very best probably more so

The coffee is second to none, the cakes are fantastic my passion is the Florentines and chia toast with honey. The owners are really friendly and helpful a great coffee house. They also sell you the beans or ground coffee alongside tea pigs

Lovely cafe with s fantastic range of delicious tasting teas, coffees and yummy cakes. We enjoyed our visit here and would recommend this great little place to all

Best coffee in the area - they know their stuff for sure! The cakes are also to die for - regular visitor here! My son loves his kiddicino too ;-)

Fabulous coffee and tea selections, very friendly staff, Colin and Sue are lovely nothing to much trouble for them.

Great drinks and plenty to choose from. Great snacks. Love sitting outside in the sun here. Great suggestions of new drinks to try too. Lovely owners and staff and it's always clean and tidy. Not overpriced either.

Visited Colne for a change and found this lovely place for a Coffee and cake. We were pleasantly surprised by the style of decor and we had the Best Coffee and the best Victoria sponge around. Lovely people! Will return again!

About Coffee make lovely Coffee's and Tea drinks and serve a choice of Cakes and biscuits which include Gluten free options. Also they sell an extensive range of teas and coffees. They make your blend of coffee to order freshly ground on fit from their large range of beans. They have a lot to offer all tastes and officianados will not be disappointed. I love their coffee's

Always an excellent cup of coffee and some delicious cakes! Best coffee shop for miles around they certainly know all about coffee!

The coffee, cakes and staff are all fabulous. A little gem in our town centre. A vast selection of coffee's a loads of yummy cakes to choose from.
