Bruccianis in Preston

Visited for breakfast with a friend today. Service was excellent. Food great. Would recommend you pay a visit! Thanks Gail for your hospitality and service!

Nice place but dont like lukewarm coffee served long before food arrives.The cakes are gorgeous but my tuna toastie was most disappointing,barely toasted,dry&unpleasant tuna.Servers could be a little more friendly too.

I haven’t been back here since my Uni days so I was looking forward to coming in here as I love the whole old decor and the coziness of the place. I asked for a short Americano with With warm milk. At first the looked at me like I was speaking in a different language and then when I got the coffee it was filled to the top. That’s not the end of the world but when I asked them to fix the problem, I felt as though I had done something wrong as the staff seemed uncomfortable and made me feel as though I was a little awkward. Then when I finally got my coffee it was cooler than Luke warm which defeats the purpose of getting an Americano with warm milk :/ I hope my next visit won’t be so disappointing as I often pass through Preston.

Thoroughly recommend Bruccianis. I had breakfast here at the weekend which was delicious. The coffee was great and the staff member that served me was very friendly and helpful.

We've visited Brucciani's for years and never had a bad drink. We always have a malted-chocolate it's the business, and sometimes we have a toasted teacake, but this time.

Second time we have visited and it was just as good as the first time we went. When in Preston , we go here. The best bacon and egg butty I have ever had, not cheap but you get the quality. Staff very friendly and helpful and service was quick and as we ordered. Can't speak highly enough of this cafe/restaurant. For us, 4 of us, it deserves a high rating and we can't think of anything you could complain about. Thank you and we will see you again next time we are in the area👍

I thought the service was a little slow, the food was standard and the place looks a little tired overall though I would rate it as average

Greek salad swimming in dressing, had mushrooms in and didn’t come with bread and slaw as stated on the menu. When I complained I was told it would be £1 extra! I explained that this was not acceptable and so I received a dubious looking slice of bread spread with something. I ordered a red tea and the server said she had no idea what it tasted like so stuck it under her nose to smell and then served it to me.

Visited Bruccianis for coffee and a sandwich. Always used to enjoy its quirkiness. Reasonable coffee pleasant service and the worst tuna sandwich I have ever eaten. Using cheap ingredients but not cheap prices. Not what it was sadly.

Wonderful old cafe right on Fishergate. It just oozes the chard of an old coffe house / ice-cream parlour prices are more than reasonable and the atmoshere is just wonderful

The breakfast was so good, omg. Cheap but luxurious. A full english breakfast, for less than £10, all super hot and tasty! Definitely recommend for breakfast, as well as cakes, they looked amazing at the counter. Wish I could've got the lemon meringue whilst I visited. Super cheap hot drinks too, large coffees for under £4. Will definitely be coming here more, has an extensive menu and amazing decoration.

Normally been happy with this nice location but one staff member really took the biscuit today. We'd been in, had two lots of drinks and then lunch, whilst doing work together. Only a few minutes after finishing lunch and a staff member asked us 'are you ordering anything else?'. I said to her we've only just finished our lunch and we'll get another drink shortly and she was like 'I know what you're doing, you can't just us for the wi-fi.' I told her we'd actually ordered quite a lot. She said 'I'm not being rude' - might need to reflect on why that needed saying if she wasn't! I'd perfectly understand this if they and/or we were nursing the same cup of coffee for ages but we'd literally only just finished our food and they weren't particularly busy for a lunchtime. We went down the road for our next coffee! Coffee was ok. Food decent if overpriced. Actual place really nice but totally let down today by this interaction. Will go elsewhere in future given they clearly don't want our custom!

Have visited this café over many years. My favourite spot in Preston for breakfast or coffee. Great range of options for breakfast, including special of bacon bap and small coffee for £4.95. Let's hope TripAdvisor updates its site to show that Brucciani's is not closed.

We were attracted to the cafe because of the character and felt it would be a traditional afternoon location, the cafe was very busy (indicating it's popularity) and we secured a table. The counter service was efficient and the food order was delivered quickly. As it was pre-lockdown, the tables were rather squeezed together. The food itself was fine, nothing that you could say 'wow' or that was 'euww' - it was 'fine'. I think if it was less crammed with tables we might have been able to enjoy the interior experience more - however - business is business and customers mean income.

Came today with my mum for dinner. We both ordered a baked jacket potato with prawn Marie Rose sauce, a Diet Coke and a normal coffee. £18 something it came to. Diet Coke is out of machine it was fine, coffee was bang on. The food however was rubbish. It honestly didn’t taste of anything. The potato was done in the microwave. The salad was very very poor not fresh at all and the portion size, id offer more to my 9 month old baby. I’d expect an oven baked potato and more salad for over £18.

Lovely interiors and bargain breakfast. I went for the healthy option of avocado on toast with feta and pumpkin seeds while my dad had a whopping full English. It came to just over a tenner, amazing value

I visited here with my young son and friend for lunch. I asked about gluten free options, was told none. Saw baked potatoes and asked again, told yes???I asked for a bowl to be able to put my son's dinner into from the thermos flask, was told no. He is not 2 yet so I generally bring food prepared from home. Everything was too much trouble. We sat down, the baked potato was luke warm with grated cheese which couldn't melt. The tea was full of tea grains. The older lady serving was miserable. Supposedly the charm is that the establishment is older but sadly tree service or complete lack of was very disappointing. I will not return or recommend this establishment.

Visited today and disappointed that this potentially great place was scruffy and down market. Didn't like having to serve ourselves and the coffee was weak and tasted like instant. Thought with Italian descendency it would be its selling point.. Lots of cleaning equipment around the place but it didn't look clean.

Nice looking cafe in one of the new arcades - the interior is interesting in an ersatz sort of way and generally clean despite othe reviews to the contrary.The ordering system however left much to be desired with just one rather over-worked surly counter waitress trying to take orders make and serve coffee and run the till.This led to inevitable delays.The food to be fair was OK.

A great find after a recommendation from a friend. Cant believe I haven't been before! Good food and drinks at reasonable prices, and the kids menu is remarkably great value. Real ice cream milkshakes were the highlight! Toilets need a bit of modernisation if I am honest but difficult to see how without ruining the classic 30s feel. Well worth a visit.

Having come from Australia I have been disappointed with the range of food on offer for breakfast in the Uk. Today I was not. Avocado, sunflower seeds, crumbled feta, poached eggs and toast. The avocado was perfect. Coffee also piping hot. Perfect

I was curious about this place because of all the really bad reviews and because I like visiting places with a long history. When I stepped inside it was like being transported to a different era, with the old style of decoration, furniture and layout. They even have a real fireplace, perfect for a freezing December day. I thought the atmosphere was quite cosy, but there were some food boards and random stuff lying around, like a wooden pole below the counter. The place seemed clean besides that.I ordered a latte and a chocolate fudge cake for a total of £2.95, I thought it was so cheap I'm still wondering if it was a mistake. The coffee was pretty good and the chocolate cake too cold but edible. Staff were very polite, chatting with customers, holding the door for those leaving and generally being very pleasant. Except for the lady taking orders at the counter, I found her a bit abrupt. Maybe she just wanted to be very fast with the orders to not keep customers waiting, but she could have rushed a bit less and maybe ask if I wanted my cake microwaved. She did prepare my coffee extremely fast though.The toilets were not as dirty as described in other reviews, but they are pretty old and could use a refurbishment. And you do have to go past piles of dirty dishes to get there, maybe because of lack of space in the kitchen. They do need to do something about that too.In all, it seemed to me like they are trying to respond to all the bad feedback they have received. If they keep it up and with some more changes they could start earning a lot of positive reviews. I would like to go back and try the food as well and to see if it will be a pleasant experience again or if I happened to catch them on a good day.

Needs a deep clean.Toilets are filthy.Staff rude and need a good wash.Food not good.Felt dirty when I left.

Lovely coffee and cakes in this long standing cafe, the fabric of the place shows the passage of time (I believe it first opened in the 1930s) but, whilst it could do with tidying up it would be a huge shame to modernise the place. Food & drink prices are very reasonable and the quality of the cakes is high, staff friendly and helpful. Worth a visit and much better than the nearby chains - remarkably the patrons talk to each other rather than peer at mobile phones!

Lovely decor inside, with authentic features. Ideally placed on the high street, for a welcome brew! Only stopped for a coffee and cake this time, but will return to try their lunch menu.

It is good to see this place, apparently founded in 1932, still going strong after so many years and we were impressed with the food quality and prices when we called in for lunch for the first time ages. But I was shocked on asking for the wi-fi password to be told they were "not allowed to give it out". I was with my wife so we carried on chatting, but if I had been on my own, I would have been very frustrated and would now look to the many other options available for a solo visit. Surely in this day and age, especially in a city with so many students, Bruccianis are missing a trick by not allowing customers to be connected. The place could also be cleaner too. We chose a corner table and there was discarded food underneath it.

Used to come here as a child 40-odd years ago, not so much since having moved away. Called in on Saturday lunchtime on a rare return to my home town to see the mighty PNE. Busy but service was swift and pleasant. Decor very much how I remembered. Food was hearty and well priced - maybe my poached eggs were harder than I like but the coffee latte was top notch. Great experience. So better than the chains. Please don't let it change. Oh, and PNE beat Blackburn. What a great day.

I have been visiting Bruciannis for over 45 years, since I was a toddler with my parents and family members and now as an adult with my own family and friends. It’s presence, decor and environment has remained reassuringly consistent throughout times of change. The menu, as you’d expect has been updated to reflect changing tastes but old (and rare) favourites such as the malted coffee are still on sale - delicious! What is disappointing is the lack of gluten free and other dietary options . I remember what a spotless, efficient and immaculate workplace and workforce Mr and Mrs Brucianni insisted on during my first 30+ years as a customer but it’s disappointing to see how those standards have declined under successive owners.....

I came here for Saturday brunch, we had the avocado and feta on toast and the chicken and bacon baguette (which was HUGE). The food was good for price (very reasonable) and plenty of it. We ordered a milkshake and smoothie which were a little steep for the size although they tasted good.

Food and drink at the café is decent, but what really makes this place is the atmosphere. Lots of interesting photos on the walls and the layout gives you multiple different options to sit and experience the place differently every time. To me the only thing that lets it down is, due to the age of the building, the toilets are downstairs. Not very accessible to those who have difficulty with steps.

Always enjoy eating at Bruccianis. There is always a generous amount of food on the plate. Always a great atmosphere. What does let the place down are the toilet facilities. They could be so good because the decor is so in keeping with the rest of the establishment but they lack cleanliness and attention to detail. They don't look like they are checked regularly. They might be checked regularly but if they are nothing seems to be done about keeping them up to scratch. Doesn't do to get too complacent guys!

Unfriendly staff, dirty and full of flies. My tuna melt was essentially hot tuna on a hot pannini with zero mozzarella and limp dried up salad. This place looks like it could be lovely but it's sadly not. Never again!

I never been disappointed yet with the food and I've been going here since I was a young lass. The place still looks exactly the same today as it did years ago. It reminds me of being in Italy. The staff could do to lighten up a bit. I would have scored excellent if they were more friendly and helpful.

Stopped at this place on the way to the train. Great hot breakfast made to order. We sat outside as it was a nice morning. There is tons of seating inside however.

Called in for a coffee and a bite to eat in the afternoon a few weeks ago.

This place used to be good not any more though! The place is filthy needs a deep clean! The food is below standard for the price! Just not good at all!

Popped in for coffee and a cake on Saturday afternoon. It was still quite busy after lunch and floor staff were engaged in cleaning - no bad thing, but wished we'd gone in a little later.

So I went for breakfast thinking yum a nice pastry and some bacon before I go to work. I ordered at the counter ordered the waffles with maple syrup and crispy bacon with a cup of tea cost me around £6 so I though yum. Within seconds of me sitting down and I mean seconds I still had my coat on! I had my tiny plate of 2 large waffles and what looked like ham on top of my waffles on closer inspection this is the “crispy bacon” I took it back to the counter to be told “this is how we get it in shall I put it back in the microwave” hang on how can you make bacon crispy in the microwave?

Unfortunately everything about Bruccianis is decidedly average bordering on poor.

We’ve been here a few times. I’ve had the steak and blue cheese , I must say it’s very nice. Service can be a little slow at busy periods which is understandable. I’ve tries the the lasagne in the past and it came cold in the middle , so we sent it back. Reasonably priced, ideal location for shopping.

Went to brucciani's for the first time in 5 years and certainly the last. Ordered 2 white coffees even though they weren't on the menu board, one cream scone and one cheese sandwich. Came to an expensive £10.90. the food menu isn't clear at all and has little choice and the price of the scone or cakes wasn't shown. The cream scone (whatever it cost) was tasty enough, the 2 "large" coffees barely adequate and not flavoursome at all. Worst of all was the cheese sandwich which was a total disgrace. How they have the audacity to charge £3.95 for it or even to describe it as a cheese sandwich is beyond me. It was a tiny brown roll with 1 and a half to 2 processed cheese slices on it, as well as being scrawny it was tasteless. I feel like buying a cheese sandwich from almost any other reputable outlet and giving them it to show what should like! It has the dubious honour of being the worst I have ever seen! I noted a few years ago they had a zero hygeine rating but I don't know if that is still the case. I cannot understand how any locals would regularly eat here. I can't find a website or other means of contacting them to formally complain.

Ordered a crispy bacon cream cheese and chicken bagel and crispy bacon pesto and chicken toasty with a small pepsi and small tea £15.55

Opened in 1932 this place still looks good,serves good reasonably priced food. The staff are friendly and the places decor is properly cool 😎👍

Dined here for a very late lunch so the restaurant was very quiet. Staff very pleasant and we didn't have to wait long for our order. It is a fascinating place to dine.

This is a great place for lunch and breakfast - a very unusual space, and a varied menu. It's friendly without being over the top, and efficient too.

Met some relatives in Preston and we headed to Bruccianis for a brew, with the thought of having lunch there afterwards. Was surprised to see the serving counter pretty filthy, and tables not being cleared.

Brilliant café staff are very friendly and nothing is to much trouble, the cute little boy was very entertaining breakfast is to die for will definitely be going back only thing that let's it down is the decor needs updating but that's just my opinion

A very nice place to eat lunch or just have a cup of tea, coffee or even a cup of Horlics if you like.

Visit this place quite often on a Saturday morning but it’s now time to move on to somewhere more welcoming. Today there was the usual staff member’s small child and an entourage of family and friends gathered around a table that blocks the path to the rear part of the cafe. The child usually whines most of the time which isn’t conducive to a relaxing environment whilst having a drink or breakfast. The heating seems never to be on in winter and the fan in summer. The floors are dirty and greasy and the clearing of tables seems to take place if and when someone can be bothered.

We enjoyed our food but everything felt a bit grimy, maybe this is just the feel of the old school cafe. Service was really nice, breakfast was quick, prices are reasonable and lots of attentive staff. Would recommend.

I have been coming to this place for years and always loved the charm and interior of the place..this visit I was shocked at the lack of cleaning generally and in particular the toilet & downstairs lobby floor finish. It was so greasy that stepping on it was like an ice rink. My 6 year old child slipped straight away (fortunately I was behind him at the time to catch him). I informed a member of staff who said the wet floor sign was there and he was sorry. That floor was not wet, it was grease - it needs deep cleaning or replacing before someone has an accident and sues.. purely having a wet floor sign there does not solve the problem.

My wife and myself go there three times a week we love it the staff are lovely and the atmosphere and food is good. We will be there next year

Was very impressed with the surroundings. The meal we had was a light lunch and it was delicious. The staff looked after me really well and even carried the chamomile tea to the table as I'd forgotten to collect a tray. Will most certainly be going back there.

The third and hopefully last excursion for the chrimbo presents and badly needed a brew and something to eat

Always great to drop back into Bruccianis They do what they do so well and there's always a fantastic vibe in the place Service is spot on, quality of food just fine and the prices are great A special piece of Prestonian history right here

Being a visitor to Preston I was impressed by the exterior/interior of the building. We ordered coffee and a toasted teacake so didnt anticipate being here too long. We had to leave early due to the vast amount of fruit flies inside the cafe, absolutely everywhere, so much so you couldnt and wouldnt want to eat there. When leaving I asked to speak to the manager only to be informed they had just left. Imagine my reaction when I said to the waitress "do you know you have a problem with fruit flies all over the place"... her reply "oh yes but we dont know where they are coming from". Well you have to admire her honesty but really!!! I could suggest it may have been the food debris on the floor... the tacky tables that had had something spilled on them and never wiped properly or even the floor that your shoes slid on whilst walking due to the excessive grease on top. I would have preferred to discuss the matter with the manager but was never asked for my details and by that action I believed the feedback would never have been passed back to the manager anyhow. I sure will not be paying a return visit and wouldnt recommend even a coffee or toasted tea cake, because its not just them that you are putting in your mouth i.e. fruit flies.

It’s has a great shop front & interior but so so poor. Trays were wet and dirty! Not a good start whilst queuing for food ! The coffee I’m not sure where that came from warm wet! Summed it Up!The toilets were shockingly dirty and steps leading to them!

We were in a shop and it was just coming up to lunchtime. We asked the assistant if there was anywhere he'd recommend for a light lunch. Without hesitation he said "Bruccianis".

Lovely place, looks like it should be a gorgeous cafe bar. No waitress service, sticky tables, some areas just plain dirty. Had to queue for drinks and food and carry a grubby tray to the table like a caf. Food under average. Said on google- world class breakfast! Maybe, world class under average. Don't bother.

I’ve been coming to Bruccian’s now for a few years and it still remains one of my top places for a good, tradition English breakfast in Preston. The service is quick, the food I think is reasonably priced and the places has a lovely retro feel to it. I’m not sure if it’s the many famous photos on the wall, the painted pre-1960 adverts or the decor that brings me back, either way it’s a welcoming place where time hasn’t encroached upon it. The food? It’s never over cooked, good portions and presented well ... I can’t ask for more, could you?

Our experience of Bruccianis today was good. We just wanted a light lunch and their menu offered the sort of food we wanted. I chose the Club sandwich with a large capuccino and my wife opted for a Spicy Chicken, Chorizo and Mozzarella Panini with a large tea. The drinks were freshly made and hot. The food arrived about five minutes later; both sandwiches were accompanied by a garnish of onion, tomato, lettuce and green and red pepper. We were both perfectly happy with the meal and, at £14.40, consider it reasonable value for money.

After reading recent reviews I was quite shocked as I’ve never had a bad experience when visiting for lunch in the past. We were not disappointed with our plentiful lunches and service was good too!! I do agree that the toilets could with some updating but at least they were clean. The only minor issue was no changing table for the baby which could pose a problem for those with wriggly kiddies!! But all in all we had great food and it’s a lovely atmosphere, takes me back to visiting cafes with my Nan as a child!!

Me and my partner have a running joke that this place only serves food when certain stars align.

Words fail me. Disgusting toilets ( sadly they make you pay for your food at counter before you sit down ). Disgusting full English. When I complained staff just laughed like it was an act of God beyond their control.

Like roadender i used to go in Bruciannis with my mum and used to take my children there for lunch when they were little. In all those years the place has changed little and it is still full of character. The menu is bigger than it used to be but based on today's visit the food and drink were very disappointing.

Was the worst food ive had in there the dips looked like just been chicked in pots the salad was wilted the chicken was raw in middle and coffed was cold. And waitress was unhelpfull and narky and had a dirty stain on her dress and bo

Dropped by for a light lunch. Great salad, the best sweet potato fries ever, duck wraps loaded with duck. Great value too.

Walked in to this cafe as it appeared to be busier than other cafes nearby, which is a good sign, to find I had visited this cafe in my child hood and again some years ago and so pleased to have found it again as I love the the old style decor and atmosphere. I had very nice cappuccino and a plate of delicious pancakes with maple syrup and an amazing amount of bacon, which came very promptly.

I'm hating having to write this as I used to love going there with my gran as a kid. I've seen the place go through a few good and bad phases over the years but currently it is the worst I can remember. I very rarely leave food even if it's not as good as it should be but I took just one bite from my bacon and brie bagel which I can only describe as recycled or that's how the leathery bacon tasted, inedible. The staple malted coffee tasted of neither coffee or malt, worst ever and I've had many over the years.

Hadn't read reviews before three of us went in for a full English on a Saturday morning. Not particularly busy so guess recent reviews may have had an impact.

We ordered tea for three, pork and stuffing bagel and a ham and cheese panini. Absolutely shocked when three mugs of milky tea were slammed onto our table. I returned back to the staff to say one of our table does not take milk in their tea and we do not like our tea that milky. Where on earth do you not get milk in a jug to add to your own personal taste???? I was advised they pour it for you as it’s from a large pot. They replaced one with a stewed black tea but we were left with white lukewarm tea. Next the “food” arrived within minutes of ordering. The bagel was a cheap white baguette, filled with a slice of slightly warned processed pork and stuffing and the panini was a flat tasteless, processed and unappetising. By this point we were so shocked at the poor quality of food and drink in a place, which was once a well respected and bustling eatery, for shoppers in Preston. As you pay on arrival our food and drink was already paid for, served by young staff who cared not a jot as to whether we were happy with our food, so we left the majority of it, walked out (after throwing £17 down the drain) and vowed never to return and inform others accordingly. Preston now has so many new and exciting places to eat. Bruccianis is now jaded and complacent. They need to realise there is shabby chic and just plain shabby and they are now the latter. Never again!

I used to like coming here but last couple of times I have been really disappointed. Went again at weekend as I thought it might have been a one off but no.

Just visited for quick lunch with my sister I wanted the bbq chicken wrap without bacon to be told the food is already pre made so I went for the Mexican wrap with fries the fries were hard so couldn’t eat the wrap I opened up to find the chicken was all weird looking like jelly I called the lady over and told her that the chicken wasn’t ready she said maybe it’s the sauce I was very confused as ther was no sauce near the chicken I told her to take it to the chef she did in a strop she came back and said the food comes in already cooked ???? I said thers no way that’s cooked and I refuse to eat it she just looked through me I said can you take the food away I cannot eat it she replied yes I can dispose of it ... absolutely shocking customer service no remorse for the terrible food I wouldn’t eat here if you paid me dreadful

Wanted an alternative to hotel breakfast and remembered this place. Surroundings are ok if a little dated, but adds to the charm. Good quality ,fresh food and drinks.

Nice decor. Food was nice but quite expensive. I didn't really fancy a lot of the food choices. Wouldn't visit again. Service was OK nothing outstanding.

Busy, obviously popular, great selection of food - savoury and sweet. The sweet things are mainly cakes.

Come here regularly, usually have a club sandwich as they are amazing here, (best club sandwich I’ve had). This time we had a full English breakfast. £5.95. 2 bacon, fried egg, sausage, mushrooms, beans, hash brown, cooked tomato and 1 slice of toast. Butter was melted in the packet before we got chance to butter the toast (it dripped out of the foil wrapper) so would’ve been better if the toast and butter was on a separate plate. I had a malted coffee which are usually really nice but too much Horlicks this time which made it really thick and rich. My partner had a raspberry milkshake. Nice breakfast but will definitely stick with the club sandwiches in future. Really nice old fashioned style cafe, love this place, I’ve been coming here since I was little and will continue to come back

It is worth visiting this place just for the sheer delight of the internal decoration and furnishings - a real throwback to an earlier age when this must have been a bustling and popular café. On our visit, an elegant older lady came in looking as if she hoped to recapture some of that magic by wearing fashions from the 1930s. Unfortunately, it does feel as if the café has lost that magic. The staff were not particularly polite and seemed a little exasperated that we did not know how you should behave at their counter. In addition, the cakes were, I am afraid, on the stale side and not a joy to eat. With a bit of effort and imagination, this place could be great but it isn't right now.

A good location to meet for an early bite before the start of work....or so we thought. The was a bit of a queue stood waiting on the pavement from 7.55. The staff could see that but it was just after 8 before they unlocked the door. That was disappointing as indeed was the service to follow. Grumpy young staff members without any real interest in what they were doing. The sausage sandwiches appeared quick enough but were a little dry. Would I go again ....not in a rush I'm afraid.

Bruccianis is such a disappointment these days. In here now eating possibly the worst panini I have ever had. It reminds me of something you buy on a train that gets microwaved to warm it. Served with no attention to detail and no taste. Just a few soggy crisps on the side. Totally awful, should have just gone hungry.

Sadly this visit was a disappointment.

This cafe is easy to pass by on the street but it's well worth a look inside. The characterful interior is a splendid example of what I would view as a European brown cafe. It would be much more at home in Belgium or France. The prices were sensible, a green tea and a small latte cost £4.00.

Went In for breakfast , had the advacado, eggs, salmon etc,the poached eggs were extremely over done, the salmon was very dry at the edges and discloured.so the breakfast was very dry. It seemed really busy with staff just standing around together and chatting, didn't look very professional .The place it's self is lovely.

We visited for breakfast on a Saturday morning. The breakfast was very nice - smoked salmon bagel very yummy. However, the coffee left a lot to be desired. I wouldn’t bother with the coffee.

Been going most Saturdays for a few months. The salmon, scrambled egg on toast is the finest in the land. The staff are ace and the venue relaxed and chilled, particularly when the fires on. Great place to grab a coffee, check emails and catch up with the sports pages

First time here but won't rush back. Staff must be especially trained not to smile and not to be pleasant to customers. All except one young chap who bucked the trend. The place itself inside is certainly not a let down. My vegetable wrap was like no other that I have had. It wasn't so much a wrap as a parcel and the filling didn't amount to very much. My wife though was ok with her panini. The gents' loo wasn't anything to write home about, just a wc without a urinal and quite scruffy. I hope that I was in the gents as there was nothing on the door to tell me that.

Ordered a Ham and Cheese Panini, when the staff brought the food to me it was only just warm, the ham tasted like I was eating a car tyre it was that rubbery! They give you a Pepsi in a crappy cardboard cup for when...

Came here for breakfast with my Son. Served on a small cold plate, just luke warm food, weak tasteless expensive Latte, abrupt staff. Will never return.

Although I only live in the next town, I have never visited this café. It looks nice from outside, but gets even better when you go inside! Lovely Victorian tiled features, simple furniture and a great roaring fire when you walk in. I loved it!

Me and my partner went for dinner, the panini wasn’t crispy but soggy, the owner, older gent, was moving tables chairs and barriers outside, and had no concern for the people who where paying good money whilst he was doing this and also having an argument with presumably the manager, really unprofessional and also the coffee was terrible I asked for a flat white and it was more like a weak latte with burnt milk total waste of £15. Won’t be returning.

Visited Bruccianies on a few occasions over the last few years. It is a very eclectic place. The staff are very friendly and helpful the food is average and the coffee is good. OK for a quick snack.

I visit Preston only occasonally, but each year over the last 5 years I have called into Bruccianis for a drink and something to eat. Whilst the venue itself is absolutely charming and like taking a trip through a timewarp back to the 1950s, The stnadard of service, value for money and quality of food and drink has never been particularly outstanding. However, I have to say that each time that I have paid a visit, standards have slipped even futher. I echo the comments made by others, because today the staff were more interested in talking amongst themselves rather than serving customers, and as a result quite a queue had built up. I ordered two mugs of tea and two English breakfasts for my wife and I. The tea at £2.25/mug (expensive!) was poured from a teapot and was only lukewarm. The breakfasts which were not particularly cheap were very poor. Sausage overcooked, bacon undercooked baked beans stone cold and the rest of the food barely warm. Serving on stone cold plates did not help matters. This place is living on its past reputation and I will not be returning.

The outside of the building is wonderful and the inside is even more so! But unfortunately as soon as I walked into the cafe I was greeted by grumpy staff that were ignorant and didn’t look like they wanted to be there at all. I ordered a cafe latte and a chocolate brownie. The latte was 3/4 foam and the rest coffee which was kind of annoying bc although I like the foam on usual lattes, there was barley any coffee

Visited Bruccianis today I had a lovely salmon eggs and avocado breakfast the lady behind the counter was lovely made me a mug of tea just how I like it and even brought it over to the table thankyou jane .. lovely service lovely staff lovely cafe .

Although it's an old favourite of most Prestonians, it's gone down hill so quick after the last few years. No pots of tea, they pour the milk in your cup tea for you (tea/dish water), half filled sandwiches/paninis and slow/rude staff. The only thing this cafe has going for it is the decor.

This is a fantastic premises, you feel like you have gone back in time, however thats the only good part.

Visited today 18/1/18 to find this lovely place it’s a lovely building and lots of famous picture of people on the wall

Bruccianis is our go to place when we are in Preston and in the need for some lunch! The cafes food and service is very good and never fails to disappoint. Food highlight are the salads and bacon baguettes. Would recommend if you’re in Preston and fancy a visit to a cafe for something quick. The venue is something different compared to the chains

We had no intention of having a coffee however the look of the cafe looked so quaint and then we were invited to come in and have a look around by I think the owner. As soon as we walked in we knew it was our kind of place and we had a great coffee and a delicious bacon butty! Well worth a visit and the service was extremely helpful, friendly and relaxed - just what we needed after Christmas, thanks!!

Place looks good from the outside, with a wide range of food and drink on offer, at reasonable prices. We went in, found a table and it went downhill from there. Decor and furnishings were a little worn, grubby and in general need of a sprucing up. No menus so we had to take it in turns to go up and look at the board. Staff weren’t particularly helpful, but we stuck with it and ordered. Food was ok, fresh and warm, but the plates were very small, making eating off them a bit of a messy affair. Overall ok but wouldn’t rush back.
