Earthlings in Bolton

Been here for breakfast this morning and everything was lovely, great service great food and lovely people thankyou for your service you was amazing 👏

The food here is amazing! The place itself is so cosy and homely, I love coming and eating in. The staff are brilliant, everyone is so friendly and attentive. All in all a 10/10.

Great food & service. Highly recommend the date smoothie ‘good vibrations’ with oat milk Halal (vegetarian organic). Street parking

Amy was incredible today. She made my day. I had a day with my 18 month year old (just us two without my other daughters) and she was being quite difficult this morning. I took her to Earthlings for lunch and it turned my day around. The food was great and thanks to the service from Amy, I left with a smile on my face. Thank you.

Always enjoy eating at Earthlings. Everything is delicious. Friendly staff.

Perfect place for fresh, tasty food

Amazing food - the quality of ingredients shines through. I got one of the specials - bruschetta on focaccia with home made ricotta.

Absolutely brilliant place! Went with three non-vegan friends, and they all loved the food (as did I). Lovely service, great food, good coffee. 100% worth the trip out of Bolton.

Visited Earthlings today for the first time, but it won’t be the last. This humble cafe on the outskirts of Bolton is a gem, especially for plant-based dining enthusiasts. Our visit left us thoroughly impressed with both the food, service and overall experience. We started with loaded nachos, a perfect blend of crispiness and flavourful toppings. The black rice and spiced chickpeas were wonderful. My husband had the Nurture Bowl for mains, a vibrant and nutritious delight, with a variety of fresh vegetables and wholesome grains. My cauliflower tostadas were absolutely delicious, providing a unique twist on a classic dish. Our 12yo son chose the sausage ciabatta which was hearty and satisfying. The sausage comes as a flat patty (Scottish-style) with a perfect balance of herbs and spices. For pudding, we all indulged. I originally ordered the tiramisu brownie but after one taste my son insisted it was so good that we should swap. I happily obliged as his orange brownie was equally delicious. My husband had the chocolate goo pot with peanut brittle. Each dessert was a delightful treat in its own right. The orange brownie had a refreshing citrus note, the tiramisu brownie was rich and decadent, and the goo pot was a creamy, indulgent ending to a fantastic meal. The cafe is warm-hearted and inviting, with a cosy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, enhancing the overall experience. Earthlings offers an excellent array of plant-based dishes that are both innovative and delicious. Whether you're a fan of wholesome, quality dining or simply looking to explore plant-based cuisine, this cafe is a must-visit. You get what you pay for - in this case, non-processed, fresh, whole-food fare that’s been lovingly crafted. For what it’s worth I have decided that it would probably be best to return and work my way through the menu…

We make a special effort to call at Earthlings whenever we are in the area. The food is top-notch and the variety is very exciting. The staff are helpful and it's very good value for money. An absolute must for anyone with diverse dietary preferences.

Still remains the best place in Bolton for food whether your vegan, vegetarian or not.

Cute little vegan cafe, very impressed at the food, great quality and lovely outside area. Everything homemade and beautifully presented. Just be aware there's no baby changing facilities which wasn't an issue as we made do.

A hidden gem in Bolton for vegans and those who love plant based food. Great value for money food that tastes great and really friendly service. *dog friendly too*

My first time here. As a long time vegan living abroad, I finally made the pilgrimage and I was thrilled! The vibe here is so wholesome and garden-like. Pastel colours and clean, organic decor. There is a vast menu, it was hard to choose a dish, I wanted evrrything. We had coffee, immune boosting juice, the special gratitude bowl, massaman curry, crunchy rolls, caramel brownie and scone. All 100% gorgeous and delicious. The owners came to say hello! The young staff were so attentive and sweet. All of this cost £59 and was worth every penny! I will return.

Smoothies really lovely. We would have ordered more but one of the customers unfortunately was very rude about us within hearing distance to a staff member (due to us taking slightly longer to order he was clearly annoyed by this) and made us feel unwelcome so we took our drinks to-go. I love to review vegan places (I try to find spots like this as part of my job, pr bits and bobs) so I had hoped to order more as so much of it looked delicious and maybe will at some point… but this left a bad taste in my mouth. Of course it’s not earthlings fault who they attract in, but I think whoever it was felt a little too comfortable being themselves, rather than a guest in a civil environment.

Lovely little cafe, it's like stepping into a sanctuary. Beautiful food. Great service. The chef definitely knows what he's doing! We love it here and will definitely be back.

Earthlings is an amazing place. The food is delicious. You can never fault it. I really enjoy eating there alone. The staff are so friendly kind and obliging. The presentation just wows. Nothing seems too much trouble . We are so lucky to have Earthlings nearby. When the weather is good there is a lovely private courtyard to enjoy eating outside.

Although not Veggies we visited after hearing good reports from friends who are. I was quite surprised at the number of choices that I fancied, nothing I had eaten before. I plumped for the Mushroom and Chestnut bake, the excellent waitress told us after offering there would be a wait for the bake which was clearly being made fresh. Portions were adequate, not overly big, both our meals were very tasty. Deserts were top notch, I had the Tiramsu, nicer than many ice had in an Italian restaurant, my lovely partner had the Chocolate orange brownie which reported as delicious.. The staff were friendly and polite, a constant flow of customers testament to Earthlings popularity. Highly recommended, well worth a try for non Veggies if you fancy a change from your normal.

If you're vegan, easy to love this place. If you're not, it's still easy to love! It's very good, total contrast to your average beige/greasy meal (sorry pie and chip lovers this isn't one for you, unless you're having a day off) and simply nothing to compare it to locally (happy to be corrected on this one). Portion sizes mean you can always fit a cake in too! Bonus! As they (the cakes) are not to be missed. Again really different to anything you can get locally. 100% recommended.

I'm a big fan. Took friends today and they loved it too.

Such a cute cafe. Atmosphere is so welcoming as are the servers. Varied menu and tasty. My blue matcha was heavenly! Note that lunch menu starts at 12. Come at 11:30 to make the best of both breakfast and lunch! 😅

Phenomenal lunch - fabulous flavours! Enjoyed the Earthlings Burger followed by a rhubarb and rose posset. (Other Half enjoyed the chilli with nachos). We both relished every bite! Calm and relaxing ambience, a perfect treat on our day off.

A fabulous cosy venue that serves the most exceptional food i have ever tasted, truly amazing! I cannot recommend this place enough, been a few times now and always made to feel very welcome the only problem is which dish on the menu to choose! Everything is of the highest quality, nutrient dense and organic. A real treat in every way.

Best food around veggie or otherwise. Quite sophisticated and there is no kids menu but the staff are lovely and helped put something together for our young one

Amazing place, it's so nice to go somewhere to eat as a plant-based person and actually be spoiled for choice with the menu. Fantastic food and a relaxed and easy atmosphere, will definitely be back soon

Amazing food in an amazing venue. Brilliant selection of beautiful and aromatic dishes and drinks. Really friendly and comfortable environment with clearly talented staff. My new favourite place to eat. Massaman curry was to die for and the Tiramisu was dreamy. Will definately be going back as soon as possible. Thankyou!

From the outside, Earthlings looks like a lovely little cafe - and it is - but it's so much more. Staff are always so cheery and friendly and there's always such a nice atmosphere. It simply isn't fair to class Earthlings as a 'cafe'. Though it does all the good things a café does, it produces high quality vegetarian dishes you'd normally only find in a high class restaurant. Dishes not only taste fantastic, they look stunning too (see photos). I had the Chestnut Bake and my wife had the Massaman Curry. Both were fantastic. I'd highly recommend the smoothies. I had the 'Good Vibrations' (Medjool dates and a whole host of other ingredients, including Coconut milk) and my wife had an Eco Warrior (too many ingredients to remember)! Very highly recommended. We love Earthlings.

My husband and I come here with our dog Pebbles on a weekly basis. The food, service, and atmosphere is always exceptional! The owners go out of their way to get to know each customer. Today is Pebbles’ birthday, and they surprised her with a birthday cake. 10/10, highly recommend!!

Visited today for a Sunday lunch. We booked ahead for 5 of us, one being a wheelchair user and the other a toddler. Even though it is on the smaller side they accommodated for us very well. Great atmosphere, staff very friendly. Great choice of food and everything felt very good quality. One downside is the slightly higher cost - but I think this is justified given they don’t use refined sugar. I don’t think they charge a penny more than they should, it’s just it may be a surprise for some coming for the first time. Will definitely return. We aren’t local unfortunately, but happy to travel for this. Would be regulars if we lived in Bolton.

Lovely tasty food, friendly helpful staff and child friendly local place to eat in Bolton. Highly recommend it, we've been there several time now.

Vegan. Quite stunning selection of dishes and array of flavours artfully arranged and served

The food is absolutely delicious. Everytime we go, the wonderful staff treat us like we are special guests. It's such a treat to laugh with them, for our food intolerances to be treated with kindness and like no big deal. I highly recommend this friendly, comfortable, haven of a cafe.

I visited Earthlings with my Son , it was my first time, but my Son has been a few times, it's a beautiful place, very comfy, the atmosphere is lovely to, the food was really good, I thoroughly enjoyed it, A very special place to eat. Thank you

Dog friendly, great choice of vegan food freshly prepared and helpful friendly staff.

Fantastic venue; delicious food and wonderful service. Hope to return many times.

Fantastic fresh food made with love and attention. The staff are friendly and attentive and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you everyone.

Really cosy atmosphere and cute boho decor, kind staff and varied menu. Brought a friend who was "sceptical" of vegan food, he came out raving about it 🌸

Been in today for the first time with my partner who struggles to find vegan food, absolutely lovely place with a great menu. The food was delicious. We will be returning again 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

I went with a friend in the morning so we could have something to eat for breakfast and some lunch later. We brought our laptops so we can study a bit. However, when we asked for the Wi-Fi, we were told they don’t do Wi-Fi . They had the internet connection, but didn’t want to share the Wi-Fi? So we only had a mini tiramisu (like in a shot glass), a slice of banana and blueberry cake, a glass of golden milk and a cup of black americano and didn’t stay for lunch. We don’t know how we ended up paying £18.5 for 2 drinks, a slice of cake and a “shot” tiramisu and we were not even able to use the Wi-Fi when we would also have had lunch… It’s such a shame because there are not many vegan cafes. So disappointing.

First time at Earthlings for me and my friend, what an amazing experience 😀. The food is tasty and delightful and the presentation is a work of art. This is the best food I have ever eaten anywhere, and I am not even vegetarian! And delicious smoothie to drink. So healthy and nutritious too. Lovely atmosphere, clean everywhere, warm and friendly service, and the chef who made our meals brought them out to us, which was lovely to hear his pride. I wish I lived nearer, I would go every day.

My sister booked a table for breakfast on Saturday morning for my mum to take my nephew out for his 16th birthday. Living in Cornwall, I’d never visited Earthlings before. I can honestly say, without reservation, that I had the tastiest, most interesting breakfast I’ve ever had in 44 years. My mum (79), and my nephew (16), also loved their breakfasts. The service was exceptional, with the staff bringing out a complimentary birthday blueberry cake for my nephew, with a candle, all singing Happy Birthday. I was thrilled that Agnes the Labrador was also welcome; she loved it too, and was welcomed with open arms. The food, drinks, service, prices and atmosphere were sublime. Thank you all. A proper northern welcome back to my hometown, and a perfect highlight of a lovely weekend!

Love this place! Food is always amazing here and is so beautifully presented. The owners and staff are so friendly and welcoming too. Hope to visit again soon

Best vegan restaurant in Greater Manchester. Friendly staff. Each dish we had was a celebration of its ingredients - not just deep fried stuff.

This is my absolute favourite place to eat! From the owners and staff to the outstanding food you can not beat it. The care, attention to detail and the love that goes into the food here it what makes it just sublime. I can highly recommend everything on the menu. There are such intense and delicious flavours in every bite. When we eat at Earthlings it feels like eating with family the owners and staff are so friendly and warm. I can not recommend Earthlings highly enough!

Earthlings is a hidden gem! It is beautifully decorated and the food is fantastic! I popped in for lunch on a Friday - it was busy but I managed to get a table. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I had the superfood wrap and sweet potato fries - the food was freshly cooked and arrived beautifully presented. I was too full to try dessert but I will be back!

So glad to have this on our doorstep. never disappoints and food so yummy. The menu is changed but they keep the old favs. Good for Brunch, lunch or afternoon cake. You can feel the love in the food

It's been a while since we've been there but we must go more often. My wife had Avocado and Mushroom on toasted Sourdough Bread and I had a Super food Wrap - both were delicious (see photos). There's so much to both these dishes - not only were they delicious but they looked great too. So much packed onto each plate. I had a cold drink with Kiwi, Lime and Mint and my wife had a hot drink with Oat Milk and Turmeric. Highly Recommended.

Anniversary treat This is our second visit to Earthlings the soup of day was very nice but the sourdough rye bread to go with it was poor as I prefer more of a crusty bread I had the curry for my main meal again it was ok the black rice was slightly hard but the rest was nice my wife had the rainbow burger what was very nice for the dessert we shared a lime cheeze cake and a banoffe muffin I just think the muffin was expensive for what was on offer over all the experience was good and I recommend the place

By far the best cafe in throughout Bromley Cross, Egerton and Sharples area. The food is fresh and home made, which really makes a change for this area such a pleasant experience with well mannered staff. Very busy whenever I visit and the service is always first class.

We went for lunch after hearing about this place on Facebook and from a friend and I have to say we were not disappointed. The place is lovely, really welcoming and warm. The menu is full of interesting and original food, not your normal ‘vegan’ menu items and each one sounded ( and indeed looked as they came out of the kitchen) fantastic. I chose the Christmas Ciabatta with a side of roast potatoes and I must say, absolutely delicious. We had two mains, both of which were delicious followed by a lovely cheesecake and a tiramisu, both to die for. It’s not often you see a menu with 8 vegan and gluten free sweets on it, but we did here. The drinks were delicious and the staff were so attentive and friendly, the whole experience was brilliant. If you are a vegan who enjoys organic, plant based food freshly prepared and served with a smile then you need to visit this place. If you aren’t a vegan then try it, you will love it, I certainly did and we will be going again. Fantastic.

If you are in the Bolton or Manchester area and want the best plant based or vegan food, then call in here. The food is so good and even if you are not plant based, you would love their food and service. The Tiramisu is the best I have ever tasted!

I've been to eat here a few times now and each time I have been thoroughly impressed. Vegan heaven. Great menu with an exciting variety in food and drink choices, really lovely and helpful staff and the owner is extremely knowledgable in all things health and wellbeing. Everything is made with love. Couldn't ask for anything more, I will definitely be back. Thank you. P.S I have never been to a restaurant before that has such clean skirting boards...this is a good sign!

What a fabulous little find. The choices on the menu were so vast, just couldn't decide what to have! The food was delicious, the staff are so lovely and the place has a lovely calm decor. Thank you for creating this business. I'm so grateful to have places like this to visit.

Can’t believe this is the first time have visited! Lovely food, staff and great service. I’m not a vegetarian but so many things I would love to try. Definitely be back

What a Lovely, refreshing change to have a nice and healthy cafe around. The food was very fresh and tasty, and added bonus that it was all healthy. All clean inside too.

Well, that's what it says on the front, but it's so much more. Whether you're vegetarian or not, all their meat-free dishes are delicious. Everything is made on the premises. There were 3 of us. To drink, we had Wild Berry Smoothie with Coconut Milk...

I have just been treated to an absolute tastebud delight from Earthlings.. I visit regularly and am never left feeling that I should have eaten else where, this my go to place to eat, think, relax and to be treated well on every visit. This...

Lovely little eatery, with a relaxed vibe, great service and tasty food. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the place was clean and nicely presented.

A lovely environment to enjoy food and very accommodating staff. My body thanked me for eating their Nourish Bowl. Loads of goodness. The only thing that I would say is that both Chai Latte, and Matcha Tea are both £4. For a not very large cup. And having two cups makes £8 very steep.

Someone knows what they're doing! It's a cafe serving lunch, so it's not trying to be too flash. The food was lunchish(!) - combinations of flavours that were delicate, without being bland, and with lightness and a hint of freshness. There was background music, not too loud, and the staff friendly - all things combining into a harmonious experience. There was no 'this is amazing' about it - but it had a 'just right' vibe that was pleasing and made the trek, from the wrong side of Manchester, worthwhile. I'll be back.

Vegan food ...delicious...spoiled for choice !!

Spur of the moment ended us up at Earthlings, just in time for breakfast menu. Ended up picking the Earthling's breakfast which was spectacular. should have took note what was included but everything was flavoursome. Reception and feeling of the place was very nice. Highly recommended 🌍

Really friendly staff, delicious food beautifully presented. Booking recommended to get a table at weekends!

The menu is overpriced for what it is. By slightly lowering the prices there is surely still scope to make a profit without being greedy and taking advantage of people who dine there. The food is average and does not warrant the price tag that...

Truly scrumptious......from the initial adhock phone call to the greeting on arrival to the food absolutely 5 star. Such an imaginative menu and frothing with fresh ingredients and flavour. Staff polite and attentive with a positive hum to the atmosphere. A tiny gem discovered via...

What a gem! Visited for brunch and had a lovely meal: a chestnut casserole dish with red cabbage slaw and broccoli (gluten-free). Very tasty. Followed by the cake of the day, a gluten-free warm oat slice with oat cream. Delicious. My dog came too and enjoyed some special doggie biscuits. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Amazing guilt-free food. Great little place, clean and friendly. Highly recommend for vegan, health conscious folks

Excellent food in a lovely location - options to sit outside weather depending. Lovely friendly staff and delicious dishes especially cauliflower salad and the pad Thai and the massaman curry… and don’t even start me on the cakes. They really care about serving good food

Superb vegan food and lovely staff / service

THE most delicious vegan sausage sandwich; lovely cafe; fabulous staff!!!

If anyone ever thinks that a plant based diet is boring, then this is the place to blast that myth out of the water. At our visit this week, my wife and I both had the massaman curry - looked great and tasted even better....

Amazing food, lovely people. Keep being amazing

Great place for vegans and veggies xx Tasty food presented well. Friendly helpful staff. Cosy relaxing environment. Thank you x

Absolutely gorgeous food, lovely atmosphere and friendly helpful staff

Very busy, very friendly, extremely tasty, well presented food. Beautiful decor, dog friendly, accomidates pets with bowls of fresh water. All vegan and an amazing selection of delicious dishes. Regularly cleaned toilet with great products inside. Was treated to a birthday meal here and had a very good experience which I would definitely recommend to anyone who is either vegan or considering it.

Absolutely amazing menu, great staff. Such a refreshing change.

Just the best wholefood restaurant. Never disappointed and lovely owners and staff. The decor is beautiful. Always on point. There Instagram is amazing too.

Order from here at least once a week and I absolutely love it, delicious food

Such an amazing find! Very friendly staff, beautiful place and wonderful atmosphere. Relaxed place with a large menu and awesome vegan options. Their daily specials are too die for and they have some great teas and coffees too! Try their smoothies while you're there too! They were the best smoothies I ever had! We've found it while looking for some vegetarian options around Bolton and loved it so much we came back the next day! Put it down on your list! You won't regret it 😋😋😋

Lovely place and absolutely delicious food!

Lovely place! Nice staff and delicious food 😁

Nice local vegetarian/vegan cafe with outdoor seating area and a good selection of food.

You know what it’s like when you don’t want to visit your favourite restaurant too often or watch your favourite movie regularly in fear it ever becoming less of a big deal to you ? Yeah. That’s how I feel about this place. I would and could eat here every day, but just so I don’t spoil it for myself, I will be spacing out my visits. Fantastic place.

the staff are friendly and helpful. The food is fresh and healthy and we enjoyed it. You wouldn't know it was at the side of the road with the little terrace area they've created out front.

Earthlings was an outstanding experience. There was a lovely ambiance together with fresh homemade delicious vegan grub. 😋

Location outside was very nice and with a nice weather we couldn't ask for more. The service was good and friendly. We ordered a sausage sandwich, an avocado sandwich and even though they were tasty, we thought that it was a little bit expensive. Will we go back again? Yes sure.

Delicious and really pretty food. Takeaway portions are never enough for a full meal though!

Always love earthlings, can't wait for it to be open again!

I've been an Earthlings customer for years now and Hilary & the team have had such a huge impact on my mental & physical health! So much love and care is put into making this place a healing health hub. After suffering with a chronic illness for years & having multiple surgeries I started an anti-inflammatory "diet" which was difficult to begin with but is now a lifestyle. Finding Earthlings was a blessing as not only is the food so fresh, good for you & high vibe, Hilary has always given me so much advice and helped me to stay motivated on my health journey! There's no other place like this around, it's literally my "pick me up" space and always makes me feel good. The food is AMAZING!!! My favourites are the cashew mushroom avo on toast, buddha bowls, veggie burger, homemade chilli jam, charcoal latte, healthy hot choc, and all of the desserts which I could live off :) thank you Earthlings for everything, being able to get take out during lock down has kept me going and I can't wait to visit more often in 2021!

I can only say that this was the most delicious food in a very clean and well maintained establishment. The management and staff are to be commended on their attitude and professionalism. We were lucky enough to meet the owner and chef and to have time to discuss the variety of food options from the menu. Thank you Earthlings. Five stars.

Delicious food every visit, the atmosphere and decor is really lovely and the staff are wonderful, and the chef is just superb👏 My favourite place to eat hands down and although I'm a meat eater you don't think twice about it as the food is so good. Local business at its best ❤

Visited last week such a beautiful cafe, gorgeous food wonderful people. Fabulous atmosphere, friendly ethical place, feels just like a piece of calm. Absolutely wonderful place already recommended to several friends.

Lovely food. Lovely staff. Dog friendly. Look forward to returning in the near future.

Just visited my most favourite place to eat. Once again the most fantastic of food offered and served with a smile of confidence by staff who are both pleasant and knowledgeable. The food is excellent every time I go to eat here at this family run business, Although affected opening times by government ruling, and needing to eat in my car, the enthusiasm by by the chef to provide good quality food with a taste of the exotic never wains. Well done Earthlings. Long may you continue to feed my desire for good quality food, sourced locally and prepared with such professionalism. Has to be five stars as there are no more.

We recently visited Earthlings and had breakfast. I can only say that this was the most delicious food in a very clean and well maintained establishment. The management and staff are to be commended on their attitude and professionalism. We were lucky enough to meet...

Absolutely spotlessly clean. Very friendly staff, great menu options. Would go again if anywhere near. 100% recommend

Menu not great and closed half the time, conveniently when most other places are offering 50% off 👀

Great ethical food, great staff. Healthy and interesting dishes. Relaxing atmosphere. Will be back for sure.

Not open during Monday to Wednesday. Not open during dinner time?

Ordered 3 dishes, the Tempeh bagel, sosage sandwich and the avocado toast. They were all stand out breakfast dishes, very tasty and we'll seasoned. Fast service and a calm and neutral setting. If this was closer to my home, I could safely say I would be visiting every week.
