Bag & Bean Coffee Shop in Wigan

Honestly love this cafe, the staff are lovely and the food is amazing !!! Couldn’t recommend it enough!!

Visit here 3/4 times a week at present. Excellent Covid related safety. Staff are exceptional in treating customers. Well done to the owners! 👏👏👏

We booked here last min as the covid requirements means we couldn’t meet up unless it was outside and the bag and bean has an outside bit so we thought we would try. I would definitely book as it was fully booked when we got there, the outside bit is really nice and spacey and we weren’t sat close to other tables so felt safe, it was quite warm too with the heater which was good. The lady took our drinks order and one of my friends asked for her tea to come out later on which she said was fine. The afternoon tea came out and it was so good! Honestly well worth the money, you get lots of sandwiches each and some yummy cakes! The chocolate one was to die for, yum! The only problem was no member of staff came back over to our table to offer more drinks, we were a bit thirsty and my friend never got her cup of tea, we didn’t even see any in the outside bit. Didn’t want to go wondering around due to covid and meant to be table service. Everything else was brill and we would go back for the food for sure!On the way out (it was closing time so I understand) there was a lady cleaning the toilets and I asked her was I able to go , she rolled her eyes at me and said well I am in the middle of cleaning them. She was very rude and made me feel uncomfortable. Not good having to hold it when 8 months pregnant.Service let you down hence only 4 out of 5 stars. Food amazing!

First visit, definitely will not be our last!!! We were greeted with a smile, there was excellent safety measures relating to coronavirus . I had cappuccino, it was one of the best coffees I've had in a long time, the pancakes were fresh and came with maple syrup and blueberries, just perfect. My husband had a bacon roll and americano white coffee, brilliant he said. The staff were all very friendly and I cant wait to return, hopefully for lunch next time, thank you staff at the Bag and Bean Coffee Shop!!!

We had a very nice experience here today. We were greeted and seated by the lovely Charlotte, she also served us at the till. Food was lovely and so was the cake. Charlotte was nice and smiley which is what matters !We will be back

Busy ,friendly staff with efficient service. The soup was freshly made and delicious. The cold sandwich of coronation chicken was tasty although theyd run out of tortilla chips. Cakes looked lovely but enormous sizes..id recommend one to share

Called in the other week. Excellent safety measures re covid, great outdoor space. I like the setting very much and therefore accept their coffee is generally good but has room for improvement. I must commend Catherine for the best cappuccino I've had at the Cafe, lovely and smooth rather than frothy on top. It vwas just the right temperature as well, it's quite often too hot to enjoy. I'm hoping my review will be read by the owner as I do love this place

Been forlunch today which was lovely. Just wanted to mention how impressed i was with the way the staff were dealing with the current covid situation all staff were trained and the coffee shop very well organised. I would recommend for anyone who may be feeling anxious to going out at this time.

Had afternoon tea on Saturday ,staff not very interested in us, never asked us what we would like on our sandwiches ,Got pink salmon on one yuk ! could use red salmon hate the cheap one ! chicken on another not very impressed with that one either , and ham and cheese om the last one , would have liked small sandwiches instead of small heavy bap's .cakes ok but scone could have done with better cream and more of it .No one came to check if we had any problems or if everything was ok ! Sorry for this review but at £15 each it wasn't much of a treat

Had lunch here with my mum midweek. Couldn’t fault the food it was delicious and there were lots of options! Only thing is it was very busy so we had to queue for a table - they only allow reservations on a certain number of tables which were already reserved when I rang up. Would be helpful if the staff greeted guests at the door rather than having to wander around looking for reserved signs, it was a bit chaotic. Nevertheless, will be back again.

Service excellent.Food good Friendly staff.Only negative very noisy probably due to the acoustics.Craft shop lovely

Formerly a garden centre, the bag and bean has evolved from the adjacent business that sells glass made arts and crafts. The craft shop itself is worth a trip to view the products made at Morpheus Glass but now theres the added attraction of the Bag and Bean cafe. The cafe is well used by local peopel who may of been out for a walk. The food and drink on offer is very good quality. Theres a good range of teas and coffees to choose from and there are ''specials' available in addition to the standard menu. The staff are alwas friendly and helpful. Happy to return here and happy to recommend to others.

My partner and I visited the adjoining Morpheus gallery which has some stunning glass wall art and plenty of unusual gift ideas, albeit a little expensive. We didn't eat in the cafe but our hot chocolates were brought to our table quickly. A bright cosy venue with decked area to sit out.

Had a lovely lunch, very tasty and hot, was busy at times people coming and going, service was brilliant, very well mannered at the till, listened to what I ordered, I would like to add one thing, please get some new comfortable chairs for customers to sit, one that isn't ripped on the arm.

We stopped here for a late lunch and had an excellent soup and sandwich, followed by very good cake. Nice environment at the back of a glass gift shop. Good service and fair prices, highly recommend.

Food good but limited hot dishes and no chips. Friendly staff and quick service. Well worth a visit with friends.

This little place is always busy and that’s because of the nice food, excellent coffee and good friendly staff. Thank you for all the good visits keep it up and I see you soon

Visted with friends for lunch. As a vegan, it was great to see a good selection of vegan options on the menu. I enjoyed the vegan chilli with a jacket potato followed by a slice of vegan carrot cake, along with a soya latte.My friends enjoyed their piri-piri chicken dishes too!

Visited this cafe yesterday for a light lunch with my friend.

Breakfast, lunch or afternoon coffee never disappointed willing staff and an excellent choice of menu. There’s also the added bonus of being able to amble around to look/purchase some of the gorgeous individually made products in the shop.

We constantly visit the Bag&Bean; when we are over in Wigan, visiting family members (who also spend a lot of their time here).

We were travelling back from Wigan to St. Helens, and wanted somewhere for a coffee and breakfast.

Just called in for a coffee, really nice cafe and they serve a good range of coffee. Drinks are not expensive but cake prices quite high. Cafe is inside a decorative glass centre.

We have been looking forward to visiting this place for some time.

Live locally so have called in here a few times, I have only ever had coffee and cake, never a full meal, the reason I go there is the fact that I love the coffee, have bought a few glass ornaments from the shop but because they are hand made they are not cheap, the only problem with the restaurant is that it can get fairly crowded.

Had a coffee and scone, scone was heated which I’m not a fan of and on the small size, coffee tasty though, it’s ok but all a bit cramped in the eating area Would recommend the coffee

First time nice selection of food coffees and cakes to die for , will definitely go again Polite efficient service relaxing atmosphere One of the best in the Wigan area

We ate at the Bag & Bean for the first time on Saturday afternoon and we both really enjoyed it, my other half had the homemade soup and Cajun chicken sandwich on a fresh doorstop wedge of granary bread, I had the cheese sandwich and a chocolate orange cake, all freshly made, polite and friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere.

Visited a few weeks ago and had the Mediterranean sharing platter which was delicious. Honestly the best sundried tomatoes I've ever had! We then sampled a few of the home made cakes on display. Everything is fresh and tasty in a clean and bright atmosphere. The staff are friendly too. Will definitely visit again.

Not far from me and I hadn't been so the wife and I went yesterday, nice little shop as you go in with great access for all and a large car park.

Great food...Bonus of The glass shop, which has some unique items if looking for something special..

What a little Gem - beautiful hand made crafts lovely unusual little ‘gifts’ for all. The coffee shop is very welcoming with a varied menu for all. Outside seating area with heaters ( and throws) if needed!

Great cafe to meet up. There's a tempting selection of cakes to choose from. The lunch menu includes delicious salads. The portion size is generous so you don't mind not having carbs to fill up on. There's a good choice of other lunch items too. The staff are pleasant and helpful. I wish we'd booked a table for lunch because it was very busy and we were lucky to get a table. Later in the afternoon is not a problem.

Due to work and family life not managed to visit for nearly a year.

I took my friend for a birthday treat for afternoon tea just before Christmas and it was lovely I would definitely recommend a visit the food was delicious. The only problem was that they brought you your drink first and by the time your food arrived you had finished your drink therefore you had to purchase another drink to accompany your food. If you were treating a few people this would be an extra cost you would not have expected, if you don't mind paying the extra that's fine but I would suggest you ask that the drink comes at the same time as the food.

We found the Bag and Bean Coffee shop when we first came to visit the Love It gallery.

This is based in an art/glass gallery which is in itself lovely. Coffee shop is small but well formed with an extensive menu given its size. Coffee is excellent, good strong taste though not bitter. A variety of tea and coffee options are available. It was busy the day I visited, even though it was only 11:15 on a Sunday morning that says something about how popular and good it is. Despite it being busy service was efficient and came with a smile. Would highly recommend. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars was down to size, would be nice with a few more comfy sofas, but I am not picking now

Booked here for a Baby shower for 13 ladies on a Sunday afternoon. Really lovely and classy place, well thought out decor and fits which fits in well with the theme of the Love it Gallery attached.

I've been with my children for breakfast a couple of times - such a lovely cafe and friendly staff and big car park. Great baby changing facilities. Only had toast and coffees but seen others eating there and all looks delicious. Lovely atmosphere ans reasonable pricing. Definitely worth a visit. Closed on Mondays

Went for Afternoon Tea for my Birthday. We had not visited the cafe before but we would definitely go again the food was lovely.

Went here for afternoon tea with friends on a Sunday afternoon. I’d never visited the cafe before but I will definitely be returning. The afternoon tea was lovely, a nice split of savoury and sweet, the cakes were delicious! It was really busy but the service was still really good! The staff were pleasant and helpful so thank you for a lovely afternoon!

Quite local so go a few times a month,good if you like cakes and salads,i think it's ladies that Lunch and mainly the Grey Pound,reasonable value though

Recently enjoyed strawberry milkshakes and fresh cakes. Very indulgent but very nice too. Pleasant venue and a nice glass display in the studio all for sale. Lovely staff too. Good service,food and value your ratings section isn’t working

The Bag and Bean coffee shop is out of Wigan town near Billinge. The dining area is modern and bright. The food we had was very nice, toasted fruit loaf and salted caramel chocolate cake. The latte was lovely and hot and the tea starved in a pot with accompanying milk. Staff were also very nice. You can browse the art gallery and glass shop too. Overall very nice.

Visited for lunch , lovely panini, followed by tea and cake which was delicious, then had a browse round the gift shop , usually end up buying something . Not cheap , but the quality is 2nd to none ! Would wholeheartedly recommend :)

Excellent cakes really good coffee and tea couldnt fault it , all brought to our table and really quick service, well worth a visit

Thank you so much for a lovely lunch today. You accommodated 11of us at extremely short notice with no hesitation. Lovely food, lovely service and relaxing location. Great place to go for a good coffee, cake and catch up in a relaxed environment. Thank you for an enjoyable afternoon. Will certainly be back...but will ring and book before we do next time. Highly recommend

Had a very pleasant tuna and cheese toastie on granary bread. Followed by a very tasty piece of lemon and pistachio cake. All good with a nice salted caramel latte.

Ordered the chicken salad sandwich. Very little chicken served on a dry and uninspiring bridge roll.

I have visited on many occasions and have never been disappointed. The filled bread rolls and baguettes are generous and the salad pots just add a freshness. On one occasion I ordered kaleslaw with my filled roll and it was amazing, instead of cabbage it was made with kale! The staff are always friendly and do not rush you even though the cafe is always busy.

Called in with family for cake and coffee. Waited at least ten minutes to be served although only one person in front of us. Placed the order and was told they would bring it over. It was fairly busy so had no issue waiting the 15 minutes or so and the young girl brought over two of the 4 cakes and three drinks plus an empty cup ready for the tea that was also ordered. She said I will bring over the rest in a minute. Ten minutes later there was no sign of the tea or the two scones and people who were after ourselves were served with hot food so I went over to check. She said its on its way even though she had clearly forgotten Five minutes later after she had served two more drinks orders I went up again. I mentioned that my husband had finished his drink and he was still waiting for the scone she asked what drink we were waiting for and said she would sort it - no apology?? A man brought over the tea two cherry scones- not what I ordered so had to return with the fruit scones. No apologies -won't be back!

We called in here for an afternoon coffee and cake. There’s a good choice of homemade cakes to choose from. They serve plenty of sandwiches and other food too. Coffee was nice, cake was delicious. Well worth a visit. There’s also a gift shop to browse around

I go past here every day on way to work but had never been due to timing issues. Well today I went and really like the place. Much busier than I expected because of location so not an hidden gem based on amount of customers. I had a coffee and cake and both good.

A lovely little hidden gem on the 2 mile stretch, friend atmosphere & staff, clean & tidy cafe. We had milkshakes all round and cakes. They milkshakes Were amazing as were cake, will definitely return.

Another busy but pleasant lunch here at the Bag & Bean. Good coffee nice ice cream and lovely hot food highly recommended here.

Nice and clean coffee shop, no mess anywhere, staff all busying around serving and cleaning. Very friendly and helpful staff. Food lovely and hot. Tasted very fresh and not been held for hours. Coffee lovely and not over brewed. Would recommend highly to try.

We called for coffee and cake about 3.30 one day. There was a woman at the coffee machine but she ignored us. Eventually another woman came out of the side kitchen and asked for our order. We were the only ones waiting but it took about ten minutes to make two cups of coffee.

Visited here one morning with my parents and newborn baby in pram. As a new Mum, I like to find places to go that will accommodate the pram and the Bag and Bean layout and size allowed good pram access. We ordered coffees which were lovely and toasties which were fresh and tasty. The counter is full of so many tempting cakes so it would have been rude not to try them. No regrets - the almond slice, carrot cake and millionaires cheesecake were all fresh and yummy! The staff were all lovely and friendly and the atmosphere in the coffee shop is relaxed. There are baby changing facilities there too which is another plus for me. We will be coming back here on a regular basis.

Had another catch up with friends...rang to reserve a table as it’s a busy time of year and we like the sofa seats...wasn’t a problem at all! Had a gorgeous Irish Cream Cappuccino and a Brie/cranberry ciabatta (which now comes with a small side salad for no extra charge) Also noticed menus on the tables (which I didn’t notice last time) ...there’s a lot more choice than you think there is at first glance at the chiller...had a great catch up, atmosphere was lovely (aswell as the staff) there was no rush to move us either....also picked up a gorgeous wall hanging glass heart in the gallery sale!! Bargain!! My favourite place by far!!

Been here a few times now and it's very good indeed. The service is generally very good and the staff are mostly friendly and helpful.

Love going to bag and bean for a catch up with my friends!! Love the place, plenty of room for a pram, big free car park and the food and coffee is the best!

Went today with my better half. Really wish we hadn't bothered. Was reasonably busy, found a table straight away. Still had plates, glasses etc. Moved them to one side hoping someone would clear table, but unfortunately this didn't happen so had to take plates etc to counter when we ordered our so called meals!!!

I do love a good mooch around the shop that Bag and Bean is attached to, so that helps of.course in helping me settle in!

Called in to this establishment after reading some reviews as it sounded like a nice place to eat. On arrival we found a table which hadn't been cleared & I noticed there were a couple of other tables which also hadn't been cleared either!! It's a 'self service' affair so I went to order - very limited choice compared to what we're used to - all healthy butties - none of your traditional egg, bacon, sausage, black pudding choices. What butties were there were priced between £3.95 & £4.95!!! - would of been better off going to Greggs - cheaper & more choice! Anyway we had a piece of cake & a hot drink - well more warm than hot if I'm honest. Our table never got cleared all the while we were there!! Definitely a distinct lack of staff or just badly organised. We won't be going again - sorry!! The gift shop is quite nice but definitely not my scene - expensive for bits & pieces of...... At least we've been & satisfied our curiosity even if it was disappointed in the end

The food here was nice but a little pricey. The paninis are really good and the ice cream milkshakes are tasty too. The glasswork in the shop is gorgeous but again it seemed expensive. I would go here again.

I recently visited here again with my wife. It has improved a lot over the past year or so and deservedly is becoming increasingly popular. The snacks and light meals are very good. The service and welcome is provided with an attention to detail in a setting which is adjacent to a very beautiful craft shop and gift centre. The only reasons I have not given this place an excellent rating is that at busy times the service could be slightly better co-ordinated and the range of snacks, whilst tasty, could be extended. I will still certainly revisit.

Went for lunch whilst visiting the gallery. We had soup and a sandwich which we thoroughly enjoyed, really appreciate home made soup. Lovely surroundings with the option of outdoor seating area when the weather is good. Looking forward to our next visit.

Loved it the minute I walked in!!! Met today for a catch up chat with friends, I'd only walked into the gallery and couldn't take my eyes off everything! It's beautifully set out, lots of 'different' gifts...especially the Prosecco lip balm! Coffee shop has a lovely atmosphere, coffee is freshly ground (so didn't mind waiting), the soup was the consistency I expected (not too thick), the staff are very helpful and pleasant, even though it was getting busy, I didn't feel like they were rushing me to order...overall a lovely place to have our monthly catch up...and we will be back again, think I'll try the Gin & Tonic lip balm next time

Went today with my Mum for a bit of lunch.

I had heard good things about this coffee shop so wanted to try it.

Called today after been told about it from other people, had coffee and cake was lovely, the food looked good too would definitely visit again.

Went yesterday with my daughter, sister and nephew. The food was inedible! My daughter and I had the leek and potato soup which was so thick you could stand the spoon up in it! My daughters wedge of bread looked like a bite had been taken out of it! We asked for more water to be added to the soup but when it was retuned it was exactly the same but now cold! Both the panini and filled roll were tasteless and even the tea was mediocre! We spent £30!!!! Won't be going back

Visit with mate for coffee Long waits to get served , only 1 person doing ... order /till / hot drinks Food nice , coffee good and hot Staff friendly

Visited one Sunday morning for coffee and a cake and it was very nice. The sun was out so we sat in the lovely little courtyard outside. The cake was delicious and the portions were not small which was great! The coffee was pretty strong but nothing a bit of sugar couldn't fix!! Will definitely be back

Been wanting to go here for ages, it didn't disappoint lovely artwork & gallery. Coffee In cafe was lovely & not too expensive for what we got. 2 latte, 1 cappuccino, one 2 scoop waffle cone ice cream. 1 slice of Victoria sponge £12.50. We think that's really good value. Will return with some of my friends, they would love it here.

We decided to head here for lunch after having a really nice time last visit. This time we had tuna cheese toastie and Brie and cranberry panini. Tea and cakes too. Food and drink were as good as last visit. Staff though were not as friendly, indeed the person who served us and subsequently brought our food to the table was quite unpleasant. Hopefully back to excellent service next visit.

This is a hide gem which comes highly recommended and a place where I can eat. It caters for those who have a wheat allergy which you have to enquire about as it is not advertised as to what is on offer.

We decided to visit here over the weekend as I had seen on Facebook they advertised a selection of Gluten Free options.

This was an unexpected pleasure. We called for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised how nice it was. The toasties are lovely on thick cut bread. Staff were all very nice and the dining area very modern and light. Will definitely call again.

Visited here for afternoon tea. Great price, great service and friendly staff. Will definitely be going back.

Good location, good parking, good ambience and furnishing.

Visited today for a coffee and a cake, this being my first visit. The place was quiet, very clean, offering a small range of drinks and cakes. The scones were left uncovered on display unlike the other cakes which were covered over? This place has so much more to offer as the menu was limited and the staff appeared to be unfriendly and miserable except for the lady serving drinks. There is a lovely seating area both in and outside with heaters and blankets if required.

I have to agree with an earlier review that this place is currently missing out on lots of potential. Great location, and well furnished but the staff seem disorganised and uninterested and as I'm old school, lacked manners.

Nice coffee, nice food, good value for money and pleasant staff. There is a excellent "cabbage" drawing in here and I really want it. 👌 Go and experience this lovely little place 😃

Lovely choice of small baps with different fillings, delicious cakes and scones with jam and cream and as much tea as we liked. We could not finish all the food so the staff kindly boxed the scones for us to bring home. Will visit again.

It is attached to a glass art workshop and completes a nice trip out.

Have called here a few times for coffees, which are very nice, genuinely feel this place is missing out when it comes to food , doesn't seem to be much on the menu, pre packed sandwiches ,such a shame as its very well furnished with a lovely patio area and lots of parking, am sure this place could be great serving breakfasts and home made sandwiches ect

Sorry just had to write this given the last review.

We've been to this cafe a few times, I think it only opened a few months ago.

We tried to have a coffee a few weeks ago but the cafe was closed.

My wife and I recently discovered this coffee shop situated in a pleasant country setting between St Helens and Wigan. The Cappuchino I had was one of the best I have tasted and the ambience is superb. It is wheelchair friendly and family friendly although toddlers will need to be keenly supervised because it is adjoined by a craft shop on an open plan basis. The sandwiches and light bites focus on healthy eating. The only two reasons that I haven't given this lovely place 5 stars are that the actual service was a tad slow and the view to the rear was uninspiring with the remnants of a large semi-derelict greenhouse spoiling what could be a pleasant view. I know that this coffee shop is still developing so whilst there are plans to develop it further I would respectfully suggest some seasonal lighting or perhaps a choice selection of some hanging baskets filled with winter flowering pansies or frost hardy foliage plants. Even a temporary bamboo fence decorated with laminated drawings by local children (or the children of customers) would make a positive difference and take this delightful place to an even higher level.

Lovely homemade potato and leek soup and orange and chia seed cake was delicious.The cafe is stylish and the staff nice and friendly.The shop was a nice bonus.

This is a lovely coffee shop located on the 2 mile straight as we locals call it.

Took our grandchildren here as a treat after school and they both loved it.Nice and bright and clean.Food and drinks delicious and when you have finished.a lovely shop to look around!

A cosy coffee shop in lovely surroundings with the added bonus of a wonderful shop selling artistic glass and craft ware.

The coffee shop is in the building with the Morpheus Glass Studio and the Love it Gallery which used to be the Billinge Garden Centre. Good quality coffee, cakes, ice cream and snacks are available and it is rapidly becoming the "place to meet" after a walk across the fields from the Orrell Water Park. Outside seating is available for a dry day if you ignore the gentle hum of the nearby M6, and there is a large free car park. The gallery has original and interesting items on sale.
