Very friendly and very clean, you can take your dog in as long as it's well behaved. One thing I did like was seeing a manager doing his bit cleaning tables and making drinks very impressed we had drinks but the food looked very tasty too.

It's difficult to review here actually because the cafe building itself was fantastic inside and out. The staff were very polite and hardworking and the menu was fine. Eggs Ambio was brilliant, such a well crafted dish that was actually a joy to eat. The dogs in a food establishment just wasn't great and made the furnishings and carpets dirty and hairy. Didn't like that at all. Also, the wife's cheese savoury sandwich was just the most bizarre sandwich variant ever as it was the only cheese savoury to feature mixed chopped peppers and a very runny sauce like filling that squirted and dripped out everywhere from the first bite to the last.

Finding a cafe with a forward approach to allergies, with a very tasty fruit cake dairy free, to immediately ask if the coffee was with oat milk.

There wasn't someone at the ice-cream counter all the time; only part of it and also the one scoop ice-creams were just one scoop plonked on the cone, no scoop to support it on the cone. You would think that they only sold it in the café, but you can get the same ice-cream in the shop for a lot cheaper. If I were you, don't get anything from here. To make it even worse, all dogs are allowed in.

Had lunch at Cafe Ambio while visiting Chorley Flower Show. Great food, brilliant service and lovely, friendly staff. We also enjoyed an ice cream '99' later in the afternoon from their 'pop-up' ice cream and cake stand 🍦😋

Far to noisy for a pleasant relaxing break. Dogs whining and the owners pretending that it's not theirs. When I was there the staff completely ignored this despite signs saying keep your dogs under control. Impossible to have a conversation. Plenty of parking close by.

Coffee and food were as I would expect for the prices charged. Indoor table space is limited if you visit in groups - we were a group of 5 and were very cramped. Seating is harsh metal chairs. The big redeeming feature were the staff, who went out of their way to be helpful.

Had a lovely lunch at Cafe Ambio today sitting outside in the sun 🌞. I'd like to say a BIG THANK YOU to the staff for helping me. I was concerned when my meal would be arriving due to me being a diabetic and my sugar level was going low. The guy who gave me the full sugar cola (which I didn't need in the end) to help me was a star. Thank you again. Lovely staff, great food, relaxing atmosphere.

Awful service, very slow, waited half an hour in the queue for food to be told at the counter half the children's menu wasn't available. Would have thought there would have been a sign somewhere as we then had to cancel food as the little one didn't want the other option. Prices absolutely ridiculous too, definitely not coming again

They have the builders in so mobile van outside then take in the cafe. No heating, drilling, and very poor brews in paper cups. We left the drinks and went home. Dreadful. They need to close until the building work us completed.

Arrived to find the the bar area is being renovated and food is still being served. No warning on the website . We ate with the noise of drills and saws which made conversation difficult and was rather unsettling. I think the owners should have closed the cafe for the days it was being renovated. Food is still full price for a less than peaceful environment.

Arrived today for lunch. There was work being done and the noise was way too loud for the cafe to really be open. The doors were wide open so it was cold and the food wasnt up to its usual quality. The only good thing was the ladies working were as cheery as always. A lack of customer care by opening and no signs to give advance warning as we were walking up.

The cafe is luxury. There are posh tables and chairs inside. You can choose to dine alfresco too. Although the number of external seats and tables are reduced in winter times.They can make good meals or snacks and treats for you at a cost. I love their soft drinks. My favourite being dandelion and burdock with a scone. It's lovely with jam and cream! If without this, it's very dry and without a taste. It's to be treated as an expensive, on a occasional treat! For the disabled toilets, that you access with the big blue key, just look for the big glass doors in the house close to the Ambio cafe doors.

The cafe was warm and welcoming. We each had a ‘indulgent hot chocolate’ which was the best hot chocolate I have ever had for taste and trimmings, despite it not being particularly hot. I was tempted by the brie and cranberry panini and opted to add bacon. The amount of bacon they added, though admittedly generous, totally overpowered the other fillings. I could taste no cranberry at all, which was disappointing and the brie was minimal. On top of that, the panini wasn’t a panini at all. It was a toasted Ciabatta. Had I known this I would never have ordered it, Ciabatta being notoriously laborious to eat and known to shred the roof of one’s mouth. Such a pity, as I’m sure other things on the menu would have left me delighted if their hot chocolate is anything to go by. Worth another visit to check!

My husband and I visited the cafe today but were very unimpressed. Had I been alone, I would have left without ordering but, as we were nearing the end of a long walk, was persuaded by my husband to stay for coffee. We found that: a) the table (no.9) had not been cleaned - full of crumbs. b) the menus were tatty and stained (perhaps could be replaced with laminated, wipeable menus.) c) the salt and pepper pots were dirty. d) there were dead insects on the window cill above our table. The whole place looked to be in need of a thorough deep clean. We did have (lukewarm) coffee which, for all of the above reasons I did not enjoy. Unfortunately we will not be returning.

The best coffee and cake around. A very warm welcome. Local artists exhibit here too. Was slightly troubled by previous reports on here, but I found today's visit a pleasant experience. Yes, there were dogs in the cafe, but everything was very clean. My Latte was made with whole milk, not the usual semi-skimmed you tend to get with a regular drink. You could have the choice of other milk. A lovely warming drink on a cold morning.

Had a delicious breakfast and coffee with friends. Staff were nice. Unfortunately I wouldn’t return due to the amount of dogs allowed inside. There was one sat on the bench seating next to me with its owner, another huge husky type Sprawled across the floor. It was a wet day so you can imagine the smell. Very offputting. Every table seemed to have a dog and it made the place feel dirty.

Decided to have a walk in Astley Park and stopped at Cafe Ambio for a light lunch. The food was OK, but nothing outstanding, and overpriced for what was provided. The real downside was the number of dogs, at least eight in our area, causing a real trip hazard alongside the number of pushchair / wheelchairs blocking the aisles. But the real sticking point to us was the number of staff that stroked said dogs before returning to the kitchen area to reappear literally seconds later carrying yet more orders. OK if you're a dog lover but one to avoid it you aren't.

Cafe in lovely location with indoor and outdoor seating. Good quality coffee's and varied menu. Especially tempting were the freshly baked cakes. However, NO PRICES displayed either on the menus, blackboard or in the counter. Scones looked delicious but I didn't want jam or clotted cream, just butter. Assistant told me no different price for that option! Therefore £3.95 is OVERPRICED. Not everyone wants clotted cream. Very unhealthy choice.
