Boundary Mill Cafe in Pendle

Went there this morning had bacon and Sausage barm. Was disgusted. We couldn't eat much. Bacon wasn't overdone but was hard and dry where it had stood too long keeping warm and Sausage was of poor quality and burned. Will never return. I have given 2 stars for service and lovely staff

Depending on when you visit does impact on how busy it is, and your chance of a free table there is tons of seating and you will find a place to sit but it helps if your partner finds a place and you get the drinks

Not a lot of breakfast options, I asked for a sausage sandwich which hadn't came & I asked the staff which knew it wasn't on the order but didn't come over & tell me that. My boyfriend is coeliac too he could have sandwiches made but there wasn't any bacon left not very much variety

The location of this café is on the 1st floor or for our American friends on the 2nd floor, which overlooks the wonderful Lancashire countryside café has lots of seating, but if it's very busy one of your party needs to find a table first as this café is self-service the food and drink is very nice so after a little shopping go and fill your face

We called for a morning coffee and cake yesterday whilst shopping at Boundary Mill. There is a decent choice of cakes, sandwiches and other food items. However, our coffee tasted diabolical. A coffee shop which sells tasteless weak coffee and apparently many other peoples opinion also. Do appreciate this is not Costa Coffee or Cafe Nero, but surely you can provide a decent barista in what is essentially classified as a ‘Coffee Shop’? Coffee at £3.50 a cup - totally unacceptable.

Stopped at Boundary Mill for a quick look around and decided to have a little bit of lunch, very busy, queuing to get seated, very unorganized, went to get some food, no soup left or pies, salad but only lettuce and cucumber, sandwiches looked miserable and overpriced, staff looked scruffy to say it was a eating establishment, just has a cup of tea! As I was leaving a member of staff came out of the kitchen with clean cutlery and dropped some on the floor, she picked them up and I watched as she put them in the clean cutlery tray at the tills, disgusting, then went to serve food, no hands washed, won't be going again

Must be the worst coffee I have ever tasted. My wife and I took one sip and left 2 full cups. The place is in a time warp.

Enjoyed a very fresh sandwich at the cafe upstairs which was reasonable price wise It wasn’t too busy and there were measures in place for track and trace and social distancing

After a couple of hours shopping it was nice to sit in the comfortable and bright coffee shop. Prices are reasonable and there is plenty of choice for lunch or snacks. Lots of seating and there are plenty of staff clearing tables. Worth the visit,

I must say that I was impressed that a small cafe 's menu would cater to those who choose to follow a vegan diet. The options in this cafe are sandwiches, baked potatose, soup and sweets. They also have sausage rolls with a vegan option. I did choose the vegan roll as I was curious and I must say that I did enjoy it. They also had mince pies for the Xmas season that were good. Service was friendly and price very reasonable.

Perfect place the finish your shopping trip off to Boundary Outlet with hot drinks and scones - well worth a visit

As a coach passenger we were greeted and given a voucher for free Hot drink. It was very busy and not a lot of spare seats available, eventually I found a free space. They have all the usual snack type cold foods, sandwiches, cakes etc. There are at least 50 tables and it is quite busy and noisy. Nothing special just another coffee shop.

We used to always visit Mrs B,s tearoom but due to being replaced we came here for a drink. We ordered a cappuccino and a latte, in all honesty probably the worst tasting coffees we have had in years. Not an upgrade on the tearoom.

We went for lunch in the cafe at Boundary Mill, the queue service was random between the two, and not brilliant, and the butternut squash soup and roll were poor. Needs improving, won’t be back for a while, and suggest that the audiences expectations are not aimed too low by the management. Pretty poor experience.

Not impressed, too long queuing for food which was pretty poor. Baked potato and chilli very sparse. Cakes nice. Over priced cheap food .

Cleanliness was very good, but that’s all that I can say was! We ordered flavourless and watery lattes and cake. The brownie I ordered was like sludgy sweet cement and after a second mouthful I couldn’t swallow anymore. The remainder of the table did the same which made us feel horribly wasteful and is not how customers should leave feeling.As we had a similar experience on our last visit, I would say don’t waste your money go elsewhere for refreshments.

We just wanted to sit and relax with a good cup of coffee after shopping. Well the reality was somewhat different. We were served 4 cups of weak flavourless liquid purporting to be coffee. Disgusting.

Went for lunch in between shopping and had sandwiches, baked potato and drinks for 4 all for under £20. Very nice and good quality food, plenty of seating and kept clean by the many ladies continually tidying up.

No better place to finish the days shopping off with drinks and snacks of all types available at BB's Coffee Shop.

called in here after visiting the cafe 4 years ago.

We ordered a coffee and a hot chocolate. Both were virtually tasteless. They were served from machines. We had a scone which was very dry and the butter was nearly liquid.

Mass catering for coach parties. Mrs B’s was mum Ch better but unfortunately they’ve closed it down.

Started off our visit with coffee & cakes before shopping, then lunch in Bannisters Restaurant. There was a lovely choice of cakes, sandwiches & hot food. The filter coffee was very nice and the young lady on the till was very helpful. Went shopping and left hubby in the coffee shop with his second cup. When I came back an hour later there was a queue waiting for tables - a measure of how popular the place is. All was very clean, tables cleared straight away and staff were pleasant.

This place gets really busy and you can struggle to find a seat on busy days. I've needed to clear a table to sit at each time I've visited. I've had soup which is nice and the prices are pretty reasonable

Me and my husband popped in for a a quick brew, We both had a scone with cream on and jam and a filter coffee each. It was really nice and quiet the day we went but it can be really busy sometimes. We do get free drink and cake vouchers sent but always forget them. The cost for our coffees and cake was £7.83 which is about right i would say. If you use the voucher i think you can choose from three types cakes chocolate lemon drizzle and another one and have a filter coffee or tea. It is not a fabulous cafe just an ordinary one but fine nonetheless. I would go again especially if i use my vouchers. There were plenty of tables and chairs, you could sit on the balcony in the sun if you wanted and plenty of choice and condiments available milk, sugar,cream etc.

Its a large average self service coffee shop selling sandwiches, cakes and limited hot food. Its OK to rest your feet during the trudge around the main store but nothing special.

Called in for a coffee and tea mid afternoon. The premises has been nicely updated since we last came. Tea and coffee were pretty poor, the cakes etc looked a bit dried out. Sandwiches and a small selection of hot food are available as well. We opted to stop on the way home fir something else.

Although it was very busy, we had an early lunch. Plenty of seats.Very good selection of sandwiches and cakes. There is always a good selection of Hot Food.

Visit here often for coffee and cake, they also serve a selection of food or sandwiches, jacket patatoes, soup of the day etc. It is a little dear but it's a lovely relaxing place to stop off and have a coffee and a bite. When the weather is nice there is a facility to eat out doors. BB is located on the first floor of boundary mill stores.

We had seen this as we arrived and were looking forward to a coffee and muffin as we have had at other branches of this brand. It wasn't very late in the day but there was hardly anything to choose from and what there was did not look very inviting at all. Pleny of seating in a large cafe but we were underwhelmed

We had our lunch here while on a shopping trip to Boundary Mill. It was very busy but there were plenty of seats in the airy coffee shop. The food, especially the cakes, looked lovely and it was very clean. We had Pea and Ham and Tomato and Basil soup with a roll and a hot drink. The soup was very good. Next time I think we'll try the cakes as they looked so good.

Situated on the upper floor of Boundary Mill, BB's Coffee Shop is the place to go to rest your weary feet or take a break from your shopping. Plenty of tables, and on the day we visited, they were cleaned within seconds of them being vacated. Cakes were priced on the high side (£2.80 for an eclair) but then again who can resist an eclair!!!

Popped into boundary mill with my friend just had a quick look round then went for a coffee and a cake was very nice we often call on a Sunday

The coffee shop is a large dining room and at peak times can be very full with a queue.

When you are on the mailing list you get vouchers in the post and a free cuppa tea when you visit. Tea is fine - snacks a bit dearer. But it is a nice but busy cafe

Just arrived for a dose of retail therapy after a 65 mile drive and wanted to set things going with a light lunch, Teas, latte, sandwiches, cakes all round and it was fine, simple, tasty, reasonably priced. It got us nicely set up for retail based cash extraction.

I love visiting Boundary Mills even if I don't need anything. I love the jacket potatoes, the soups and specials. Proper home cooked food. Delicious 😁

We travel about 20 miles to get here so a brew is always welcome on arrival. The only problem can be finding a table so that tells you everything. Give it a try.

Stopped for cake and coffee in the restaurant. The Vanilla slice pastry was like cardboard and the coffee insipid.

i reviewed over a year ago and said it needed refurnishing, well like the rest of the store it as been vastly improved. much bigger and brighter,, Much better layout than before and a very good choice of cakes. Much nicer experience for a snack now,

Busy due to a number of people shopping and requiring hot food, tea, coffee and cakes. they have two sides one can choose to use which have the same food etc.

Visited today, had to wait half an hour for a toasty at a quiet time. When it eventually came it was dry as a board, what bit of filling there was fell out. The free coffee again was awful , I asked to pay extra for a late and told I couldn’t. Will not come in here again not even for a free drink!

For a "coffee shop" we were really disappointed in their coffee today :( They do a free offer now and again of a free coffee to entice us in. For free it wasn't worth it

Whilst visiting boundary mill popped in for cup of tea and a scone pretty disappointed really scone very dry and tea Luke warm,it was busy and queuing didn't help

Been here many times before and everything has always been very good. We had baked potato each and on this occasion the skin was rather overdone. Quite tough to cut. If they’d had any steak knives they would have helped. Consequently the potato inside was a little over cooked. It wasn’t bad enough not to eat however and as it was about 1.30ish it was late lunch. I had baked beans with it and they were fine and my friend had tuna with hers and that was ok. We were a little disappointed to see the young lady serving the teas had only the top part of her long hair in a net and although wearing gloves to serve the teas she also used her hands with the gloves on to wipe the counter clear of drops of tea etc. Not up to its usual standard this time unfortunately.

The coffee shop has a great range of cakes and light lunches. I have found that every time I have been the food has been fresh and a good standard.

Whilst planning a big shop we called in here for a coffee and a light lunch. It was very busy being Bank Holiday Monday but we got a table easily and plenty of choice of food. Had hot drinks, sandwiches and soup each all for less than £15. The food and soup was very tasty, it did the trick and we carried on shopping for a good few more hours!

Recently refurbished BB’s Coffee Shop is much more comfortable and relaxed, probably the busiest eating spot at Boundary Mill, Colne.

Love this place,the variety of cakes is always great especially the sticky toffee cheesecake,the cappuccino is not as strong as I’d like though.There is always plenty of seating.

We came here for 10am on a Sunday to return a watch and had to go and sit in the cafe until they could open the tills at 11am

Whilst shopping, we went for a morning coffee and had toasted tea cakes for snacks which were very nice and cost so little. Went back for lunch of sandwhiches etc and again for the two of us, it was so reasonable and the food was very good.

Great selection and a wonderful place to wait for your wife to shop and get the discounted prices ha! (If you are a man of course)

Needing to pick up goods at boundary mill

We called in for a coffee and a bite to eat before we started our marathon shopping session on Saturday. It was really busy but we managed to find a table. My mocha and coffee choux bun were delicious and I thought they were extremely good value for money.

Went here after shopping at Boundary Mill. Have not been since they added the restaurant on the ground floor. I found they had changed the layout from how it was before and re-furbished the place. Previous experiences were good so I expected the same today. Sadly this was not the case. Ordered a bacon sandwich and a cup of filter coffee. The bacon sandwich consisted of two rashers of bacon in the smallest bun I have ever seen. The coffee was very dark and I expected it to be strong (not a problem for me). When I got to my table I found that the bacon was cold and the bun was rock hard (not old and out of date, it was fresh). I was only second in the queue so cannot blame the wait at the till for the bacon being cold. The coffee although promising to be strong and tasty was anything but, it was just warm and tasteless. My wife has been to the new restaurant and she said it was excellent. Would appear Boundary Mill are putting all their effort into the restaurant and have let standards slip in the coffee shop. Also I noted the selection of cakes, etc. seemed to be greatly reduced from how it was before. Disappointed and may not come again when I next shop at Boundary Mill.

Taken for a treat, the coffee was good but the filling in the jacket potato was disgraceful . I chose prawn so I was taken aback when my potato arrived filled with a creamy mush that was more crab stick than prawn although i did find 1 very tiny shrimp size prawn ! Very very disappointing.

Visited this cafe with my mother while we were in boundary mill.We had a voucher for free cake for each of us.Mother had the lemon drizzle cake which wasnt very nice and i had the chocolate cake which was a little better both were free to be fair.Mum got a latte she took one sip and said theres no taste of coffee i tried it too and it was awful.I took it back and complained to a helpful lady called Kirsty she got me a free mug of the strong filter coffee which is almost too strong by comparison.I notice the staff clear tables before people have finished or while theyre still sat at table i dont think this is good as you wont feel very relaxed.I suggest you buy a bottle of juice and sit outside on balcony but better still avoid this awful cafe.

Arrived to have a mid shopping brew. In spite of being very busy on the Bank Holiday, the place was clean, staff in good humour and pleasant, reasonable prices.

Visited for a cuppa and cakes, had voucher for free cakes but couldn’t use as we wanted vanilla slices, which weren’t include in the offer, however, ev3n with tea for 2 and 2 Cakes it was very reasonable, if you want tea expect a very strong version, would advise asking for a pot of hot water as well to weaken it.

We called in yesterday with our voucher for free coffee/tea and cake. They had 3 to choose from, chocolate, lemon drizzle and victoria sponge. I had the lemon and my hubby had the chocolate. Lovely big slices and a large coffee each.

Today, we used a voucher for a free tea, a free filter coffee and two slices of yummy cake. I had lemon drizzle cake and hubby had chocolate cake. Lovely and all for nothing.

We regularly visit Boundary Mill and call into the cafe for sustenance. There is a limited selection of food but it is always decent and reasonable portions. Service can be a little slow at times but that is due to the number of customers, particularly during promotional events.

Since this has been refurbished it is a pleasant place to enjoy a coffee in the midst of the day whilst shopping at Boundary Mills. Far more customer friendly then before, plenty more tables - look forward to visiting whenever I can

Have been visiting virtually every week for years with my wheelchair bound mum. Had hoped a decent coffee machine had been installed after refurbishment.....nope still dreadful. No matter which coffee you order they all taste the same....yuck

Stopped here for a quick and early light lunch. Opted for sandwiches, cake and coffee. The bread on my prawn sandwich was beginning to dry out, the Marie Rose sauce had a very strange acidic taste to it, almost like vinegar. My choux pastry cake was clearly overcooked, it shattered into myriad pieces and I actually had to move the froth away from the top of my cappuccino to see if it actually had coffee underneath it. The young person clearing the tables whipped our tray away while we were still drinking our coffee and even tried to clear away my husbands cup which was still half full. Such a shame as the coffee shop looks so lovely and has beautiful views from the panoramic windows.

Called for lunch whilst shopping. I had tuna jacket potato and my friend had the soup. Service a little slow and grumpy staff. Food as expected. Afternoon coffee and cakes more grumpy staff but nice cakes.

Called in today for a light lunch. The service was very slow and would have benefited from having another till open. We only had the ham and cheese sandwiches but the ham was full of gristle and inedible. The cappuccino coffee was awful, watery had no flavour and again was left. Very disappointing and a waste of money

Our first time since the café was refurbished. Mush nicer with lovely furniture and décor.

We arrived at B M as soon as it opened and went straight to the café for a coffee and a hot chocolate. Both drinks were served from a machine. They were weak and virtually tasteless. We returned at lunchtime and ordered some food. I had a meat pie and mushy peas. These were just tepid. We avoided the hot drinks and ordered cold drinks which were OK. We will never eat here again.

Went shopping and decided to eat at B B's cafe. Very busy even though it was midweek. Tables were cleaned immediately and we got seated. The cafe is virtually sandwiches and a few hot choices, jacket potato with various fillings, corned beef hash. The cafe does have a great choice of cakes with usual tea, coffee etc. Had a lovely sandwich each with a cake and a tea and coffee, just over £10, very good value, this did include a free tea and coffee with a discount card. There is a lovely outside seating area which will be nice when the weather is a little Warmer!!!!!

Funnily enough, advertised as a coffee shop. Found the cappuccino (served in a mug) to be weak and tasteless.

We recently revisited this coffee shop after the refurbishments. It is very nice surroundings and we enjoyed a lovely sandwich and a hot jacket potato meal. We decided to return later after shopping for a coffee and a cake but unfortunately it was so busy we couldn't get a seat and the queues were very long. Nice lunch though.

We only wanted a light lunch so went to the coffee shop. The food was ok but not a lot better than that. The coffee could have been stronger, a lot of sandwiches were on white bread. Adequate but not great.

I always think it is too big to be called a coffee shop , but it caters well for the high number of customers, morning coffee, lunches all catered for , its self service but it’s handled well

Omg !!!! Muffin heaven absolutley fabulous do much to choose from.snowball muffin heavenly .coffee good as well caters for everyone

We ordered steak pie, gravy and mushy peas. Quality was good, shame it was nearly cold. The second order was corned beef has with beetroot, this was cold and quality not good at all. If it had been hot prices were very reasonable, as it was we feel we were ripped off. Very young staff who work hard to keep tables clear and clean. But would not visit again except for a drink.

I came here when my wife was shoping had a coffee and sandwich did not like it at all

Here today with my husband . The new decor is brilliant and miles better than the previous coffee shop which we avoided when we called at Boundary Mill.

A wide selection of cakes and snacks. Nice pot of tea but very poor coffee. Plenty of staff keeping the cafe clean so lots of tables.

Call in each time we visit Boundary Mills for a break from the shopping. There are a few tables that are made for wheelchair users so you can get your legs under the tables.

I have visited this cafe on a few occasions. Very clean and had a new make over. Loads of space to sit.... but the

My friend lives in Yorkshire and I live in Lancashire so we like meeting here as it's half way. We don't get much shopping done as we spend so long nattering in the cafe. Been here lots of times before but a slice of cake seems so expensive. £2.99 or £1.99. We went for the jacket potatoes instead which are more reasonable. Good cup of tea and nice mince pie.

Plenty of sandwiches, salads and jacket spuds and the biggest range of cake you could hope for. Good fair prices in this huge cafe with views over car park and hills and countryside beyond.

We are regular shoppers at Boundary Mill and usually have coffee and cake. Nothing much else to report, you get what you expect from this coffee shop.

We always eat here when we visit as we travel 50 miles, so its a day out. Sandwiches are excellent value, our friends always have a baked potatoe. We all enjoy the great selection of cakes on offer. It is reasonably priced, its kept very clean and is a pleasant place for lunch. It has a trolley park whilst you have food too.

The refurbishment and enlargement of the coffee shop has been carried out to a high standard, including furnishings and decoration.

On arrival had tea and mince pie. Very busy but light and airy feel. Had lunch in new restaurant which was good although now being on the ground floor felt more closed in without the lovely views

We visited on a Sunday morning and were pleasantly surprised by the total refurbishment of BB’s coffee shop. It’s now a very large, light, airy, well furnished cafe although they have retained the quirky queuing and serving system!

Long queue to get food and drinks but longer to pay. Toasted teacakes were taken out before we had paid. Hence by the time we got drinks, paid and arrived at table teacakes were stone cold.

Nice clean cafe very busy with a large queue but quickly shown to a seat, free coffee and mince pie nice touch sandwich nice and fresh and staff very pleasant just what you need after looking around the shop.

Recently visited Boundary Mills on two occasions. The first time I "enjoyed" the free cup of coffee and cake promotion in the main restaurant. The cake was limited to chocolate cake and Victoria Sandwich. Both were awful - soggy and tasteless. The barn-like restaurant was full of bargain hunting elderly ladies and their reluctant male consorts. My second visit was to the recently refurbished Mrs. B's afternoon tea parlour for which one had to book in advance and pay £20 for afternoon tea. There are 2 sittings at 2.00 p.m. and 4.00 p.nm. I booked (through necessity the 4.00 p.m. sitting and was one of only 3 (three) "afternoon teaers". The decor is superb and for the three of us there was a maitre d', a head waiter (Ali) and 6 (six) waitresses. Heaven knows why they think people take afternoon tea at 4.00 p.m. This is clearly an attempt to take Boundary Mills catering offering upmarket but at £20 a head it has little chance of succeeding given the demographics of BM's customer base. I suspect it is the whim of the chairman or, more likely the chairman's wife. The staff should prepare for their redundancy notices right now. Furthermore, I would replace the (awful) pianist with her intrusive, badly played, out of tune piano with a harpist and increase the number of cakes to make the current (albeit probably short-lived) offering more attractive. Frankly, BM does not have the clientele to be a serious rival to Bettys.

Went to new cafeteria at B Mill Only wanted soup stood and waited and waited and waited only one person doing soup and the salad bar so gave up and went elsewhere

We went to this entire on a busy Sunday, and after looking around for an hour went to the store cafe. There was quite a long queue but the seating arrangements meant that we only had about 10minutes to wait for a table. A bit noisy but good coffee, but the Eccles cake was dry and not very tasty. This is a self-service cafe.

Newly refurbished , the decor is bright and tasteful.. A smiling waitress took the order and we were quickly served our drinks.. The specials menu was varied and the portions generous

Boundary Mill kindly sent me a voucher for free tea or coffee and cake for two so we paid a visit today whilst doing some Christmas shopping. It was 12.00 and there was already a queue for seats but we didn't have long to wait. We both had prawn sandwiches and took advantage of the free tea and cake and had Victoria sponge and lemon drizzle cake. The cakes were delicious and we really enjoyed our lunch. It's worth popping in for some refreshments here whilst shopping.

We visited the cafe in a trip to boundary mill it was quite busy but there were still a few tables . It has recently been refurbished and there is a new serving set up that works very well. The food is good and reasonably priced, I would recommend.

We visited the revamped cafe recently and won't be going back in a hurry!

Cafe has undergone a decent update but their coffee is undrinkable, no wonder they have a current offer for free coffee as its probably the worst coffee in Lancashire.They have decent looking machines but the beans they use leave a lot to be desired-

We decided to visit here took my friend who wanted to go shopping here.After a while called into the coffee mill cafe.

Seems to be in the middle of a recent refurb. Lovely well priced, pre packed sandwiches, cold drinks bit pricey. Hot food limited, and menu was unclear. Opted for a jacket potato and tuna, small side salad and bottle water £4.85) then held up trying to pay whilst people ordering hot drinks in front of me. Cakes looked lovely (£3). Staff clearing tables very helpful and doing a good job. Just needing some tweaking .....and bit more organisation behind the counter.
