Bus Station Cafe in Preston

I visit here regularly when in Preston city centre. Best cafe for affordable meals and drinks. The staff are friendly. I would recommend.

Preston Bus Station Cafe is a nice and cosy atmosphere. The food and hot drinks are delicious at very reasonable prices and the staff are loyal and friendly. Definitely would recommend.

Always a pleasure to eat here as the place is clean and tidy and nice obliging friendly staff, I just had 🌭 hotdot with chips 🍟 which was very nice indeed and hot , you need to wait about 1 min for it to cool down b4 u eat, my only concern 😟 was the bun had butter 🧈 init, maybe its just me, but I don't usually have butter in a hotdogs bun, others may do I don't know, but it was a little of putting so next time I visit I will have it again but will ask them Not to put butter in the bun and I will enjoy it more, 😋 but apart from that it was very nice indeed and filled my belly 😀....

In 75 years of drinking tea, this was the weakest I have ever come across. I suspect they use 1 teabag for every 5 cups. Maybe 10 cups.

Visited Sunday morning while waiting for a coach, good coffee and freshly cooked bacon and egg. Great service. The location is not correct tho as it is within the bus station itself and not where google says it is.

Waiting for our bus we decided to have a snack. The omlettes were nice, good value. Had two mugs of tea and although on the stewed side were hot and welcome. Female staff very welcoming, male more interested in chatting with another man than customers.

Great customer service, spotlessly clean. Staff always happy to help. Food made fresh every day. I'm a bus driver a and regularly eat here.

Ideal breakfast spot to grab something tasty to eat in or quick to take on the bus. Enjoyed the sausage barm. Lovely staff

first of all the service was awful had to wait half an hour for a cheese toastie worst part is it wasnt even good and also one of the waiters was completely rude. my cheese toastie had bacon in it and the bacon felt off it was burnt but yet un cooked at the same time once i finished me and my partner decided to defiantly not come back here again the food was terrible for the price it just felt like there was no effort put into it.

Just had pie chips peas gravy and a slice of bread 🍞 and was D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S. in my opinion its the best dinner in Preston City centre 😋 worth a visit the prices are really good also, not too expensive at all just about right 😀 defoe worth every penny. IMHO.......

I love calling in here for a hot drink. I normally get something to eat...maybe cheesy crumpets or cheese&onion on brown toast. Friendly fun chatter/banter going on. Hard workers. Keep it up guys...you deserve thanks/recognition.

Cheap and cheerful. Reasonble priced and very fast service. Friendly staff. The vegetarian burger is really nice especially with the fresh salad.

Had a layover from Burnley to Glasgow. I am from Preston but don't live here anymore. I had to visit the cafe. It has been here as long as I can remember and I am 31. Got the vegetarian burger, chips and a cup of tea. All for about £7. The burger with the fresh salad was absolutely immense, the chips to accompany it were good, however a bit too greasy. The tea was made perfectly. 4/5.

I stumbled upon this shop and it’s genuinely so cute! The staff are super friendly and as an international traveler it was nice to know that they take visa and American Express cards. The toasties are so good and the milkshakes are a perfect paring for them! I would highly recommend, visiting and enjoying the atmosphere here for a while. It’s perfect for to go meals and to just sit and relax! Would highly recommend for everyone!

Popped in as had a wait between buses. Coffee and a toasted tea cake excellent value friendly and very clean. Would highly recommend

not coming back here again, i asked for a certain item off the menu and heard the lady behind the counter audibly complaining and swearing about having to make the item i asked for and my idea to have it in the first place. the first time i came i was spoken down to for asking if the cafe served fruit teas. ashame some staff are unnecessarily rude

Cheapest sausages in Preston wouldn't recommend at all. And the place costs a fortune.

By far the most friendliest place to be staff very friendly and polite and in some cases a little funny 😁 humorous... The food is delicious 10/10. And the cleanliness is by far 10/10..... Always busy cleaning and sweeping the floors. I'm trying hard to think of a negative but there isn't any so I won't pùþ owt .simple as that. I go here quite often and the same service everytime . We'll done lads and lasses ..... from a very satisfied customer with a baldy head ....lol that's git yall thinking hasn't it you'll be questioning every bald headed guy now won't you ? Or am I a bald headed woman mmmmmm???

A nice clean cafe with an adequate range of snacks and drinks at reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and it's an ideal place to have a bite to eat while waiting for your bus. You can eat in or take out, and I'd definitely recommend.

Nice, clean & friendly, Big Breakfast was good too!

Friendly staff, good food and good coffee

Nice food, clean cafe, very friendly staff with plenty of banter.

Good food. Good quick service. Happy.

Very clean and bright. Nice food at a reasonable price

Highly recommended to anyone passing through the bus station - it's great value. The ladies working were very friendly, the full English breakfast was delicious, hot drinks of a good standard and the environment was fresh and clean. I recieved a warm welcome and was able to sit there and relax for a while whilst waiting for my coach! Thank you. I will visit if I pass through again. :)

I caught a bus to Preston bus station recently to catch a connecting bus and wanted something to eat while I was waiting. I found the bus station cafe where I experienced great food at reasonable prices, friendly service from the staff and a good standard of cleanliness. It was also convenient to me to be able to pay by card. I would not hesitate to recommend this cafe to anyone who was catching a bus to or from Preston.

The coffee wasn't very nice. Man serving was too busy talking on phone to finish serving so a woman had to come out & help. Asked woman who bought food out to get salt & vinegar for me but I had to get them myself. Don't know if she saw the 2 crutches. Wont be going back in a hurry.

Nice, quiet and comfortable place to relax while you wait for a taxi or bus to your destination. Just had a coffee and some snacks.

Very clean. Friendly staff. Gud choices

Normally I get sausage on toast and cappuccino. Lovely. Today baked spud and tuna mayo...came with coleslaw and salad. Again lovely. Prices moderate to good. Well recommend Preston Bus station cafe.

Service and staff absolutely amazing

Staff friendly very clean and great brew

Clean, bright & airy place for both food & drink

Called in for a quick snack over a Saturday lunchtime whilst waiting for a bus. Food served without too much delay and was very tasty.

Good basic food and cream cakes and coffee is cheaper after 3 o'clock well worth a visit. Friendly atmosphere!

Friendly staff, good grub and fast service.

i use it regularly while waiting for the next bus after a hike or shopping trip. I am so glad they kept it open in the refurbishment of the bus station. For those wanting traditional food it's grand; for just tea and toast it is ideal. Nowhere else I know of like it in town centre.

This is a basic cafe on the bus station the staff lovely and very helpful.

Clean tidy modern place to have a snack while out . Reasonable but cafe predictable range on offer . But for a quick breakfast on the move it's more than adequate.

Brilliant little cafe,good food,staff friendly and not overpriced.

There are many places to eat and drink portrayed both in the world of fiction and reality. From the busy station café in the film Brief Encounter to the late-night diner in Edward Hoppers painting Nighthawks. All create images of romance, of stories untold and of course tea and coffee. It is into this realm we now must include The Bus Station Café in Preston. Located within the listed, brutalist concrete cathedral to public transport, Preston bus station, it provides a wonderful window on the world of the local commuter from within its spotless environs. So pull up a chair, enjoy a cup of reasonably priced tea or coffee and peruse the very traditional British café menu. It was here I found myself with a friend recently, indulging in a very handily available all day breakfast. From the generic sausages, bacon, fried bread, unidentified brand baked beans, fried egg cooked in such a way that you can never quite describe it nor replicate at home and generous portion of tinned mushrooms we watched the world go by on its rubber tiles floors for the meager price of £4.80. In short, it is clean, reasonably priced, had excellent service and a very traditional café menu. You won’t find locally sourced yet bizarrely overpriced items, or expensive ‘special blend’ coffees nor any kind of pretentiousness in here. It’s a straight up café and you get what you expect. Nothing more and nothing less. And for that, it should be applauded.

Great food at a good price and very friendly staff.

Basic tells it like it is. Plain 'greasy spoon' type cheap English plain food for the simple traveler. Don't expect to find anything too unusual here. It's the only cafe in the bus station so if you want a hot meal while waiting for your coach this is the only place to go, It's bright and airy and clean, as it should be as it's not been open long. No atmosphere at all. Modern uncomfortable seats and tables. It stares out to the bus station corridor so everyone passing by has a look in. Service was slow when I was there, had to wait a while for the food. Had an english breakfast which wasn't half bad and decent price. I noticed a lot of visitors were buying stuff to take out. Cheap basic cafe eats. I don't know what I was expecting but considering they spent millions doing up the bus station recently I thought they would have had a bit more imagination than this bland box.

Fantastic staff great food cooked by the cook/chef Gail. Would highly recommend

Very clean, friendly staff and really accommodating to disabled and visually impaired. Food freshly made and even if you pop in for tea and toast, well worth a visit whether waiting for a bus or just wanting a snack

Great CENTRAL bus station... Great cafe too!!

Normal cafe but good food and decent staff. Plastic seats attached to metal frame tables. Nothing special though it is in the UK's oldest bus station.

GOOD FOOD. SOME STAFE HALPFULL. A PLACE TO MEET UP AND HAVE A CHAT.

Average place, chap serving was on mobile phone, "no frills" food or service. Bacon butties are good.

Had a good cup of hot chocolate
