I was extremely disappointed when the food arrived after 1hour of waiting. Ordered two molten chocolate brownies expecting them to be warm gooey and covered in hot chocolate. Haha no, that’s not what was delivered. We got two freezer stored cold cakes with chocolate on top in a plastic case. Also ordered thunder and lightning ice cream, but instead was delivered death by chocolate, so I rang up to explain they had delivered the wrong flavour to be told they had no thunder and lightning in stock so they just switched it without consulting me first. When I said that I don’t want to chocolate one I could hear them in the background trying to tell me that it’s the same thing when it obviously isn’t! While on the phone I asked if the molten brownies are meant to be cold to be made aware that they are stored in a freezer and sent out cold. As a desert place I expected freshly made food especially for the price!! Also after debating with the guy on the phone that the ice creams are not the same he offered to refund me via bank transfer in which the refund is still not appearing to have been made! Would not recommend. Disappointed! Also why does delivery take 1 hour when it’s literally just frozen crap put in a bag and placed at your front door

Ordered deserts from here through Uber app. waited 50 minutes for order to be delivered. When it arrived got someone’s else’s order. Rang store the first idiot answered the phone was from Pakistan I think. Telling him what my postcode was. Said d for delta he didn’t understand had to say dog. He said he would have my order ready in 40 mins. This is after waiting 40 mins already. In total 1:20. Five minutes later I got another call saying I had to get in touch with Uber. It was ubers fault. 🤔. Uber made my deserts? Dont think so. Why should I have to ring Uber for getting wrong thing being delivered. I asked to speak to manager and the young boy said manager was busy. It shows how serious they take customer complaints. Don’t want to speak to you. He has promised to deliver the right item. But I don’t think it’s coming. I will be suggesting to Uber eats to remove la glacier from there list. It doesn’t look good on them when take aways restaurants or even DESERT SHOPS getting thing wrong for THEIR customers. Finally would say please ring them first before you place any orders thru Uber just in case they have too many orders they can handle. As it was the reason given for getting my order wrong. “We had 50 orders”. Just like to say to glacier “it’s not my problem how many orders you have, just get mine right and get it delivered A.S.A.P.

Double cola millions milkshake is my favourite. Need to have a double dosage of millions inside to get a real taste of the flavour. Probably the best Desserts place in Blackburn and the service from manager Ismaeel is very good, always friendly and helpful. He will make sure you enjoy you’re desserts.

I ordered milkshakes for delivery, was told they would deliver in 20 minutes. After 40 minutes I called them to ask about the milkshakes and they said they would be another 45 minutes. I was very disappointed with their service. When we asked the staff that came to the door for some discount since we had been waiting over an hour, he said to either pay full or return the milkshakes. Very bad service and staff were very unhelpful. They were also very rude on the phone.

I recently walked into la glaciers as I had place a telephone order 20 minutes prior, my order wasn’t even ready as they said thAt it would only take 10 minutes, the staff were trying to find my order, when I received the order, I went satisfied as the ice cream shake had lumps in the tub, meaning it wasn’t mixed proper

I come here pretty often whenever I'm at my parents house and the desserts always look and taste great.The prices you pay are definitely a lot cheaper than going to a city and ordering desserts as you can buy milkshakes from here for as little as £2 and they taste superb.The service is only good if the place is empty as the staff there do sometimes seem to get a little overwhelmed by large amounts of people though this doesn't make it a bad place to go to.

Nice milkshakes. Menu is not the clearest and the service isn't the most welcoming. Worth a try as lots of choice of flavours.

I have never experienced such rude and worst customer service than i have here, both the managers have a stinking attitude and don't know how to talk to their customers. They just need to remember it is customers that make the place what it is and if they don't know how to deal with different situations they're in the wrong profession. Never visiting this place ever again it reeks with arrogance, lack of manners and respect for their paying customers and not to forget their food aint all that either!

We both ordered sticky toffee pudding with custard. Very disappointed, pudding was not served hot and the cake was frozen in the middle!! Wouldn't return again.

Desserts are on point here. Love them! There's ice creams and milk shakes + other varieties like hot custard etc. They do waffles and hot drinks too although I think they should do more hot snacks than hot, spicy pasta which is just as delicious as the desserts on offer. 1 thing I would say is to keep space at the back for prams to make it more mother friendly. Apart from that, staff are friendly and the prices are reasonable

Dessert range and selection is brilliant and luxurious. The tea is is good however it is served in a single cup rather than in a teapot. My second visit this week would definitely recommend this place if you need a catch up with friends as the seating and atmosphere is good.

Nice desserts with a wide range of desserts. Though when we went to order we had to que and felt rushed when there was so much to choose from. It would be better if u could sit down and they take your order. When my dessert came it was in waffer basket with ice cream... I had to ask for a plate as the waffer ended up soggy and the ice cream leaking.

Lots of desserts with lots of choice pizza etc can only be offered after 4PM. Took some time to come but nice food. More of a dessert place than food place. Lots of choice for milkshakes, cakes, puddings and hot beverages. Good for a long catchup with friends. Atmosphere is good. Love the decor. Clean and free fly staff

A group of 15, usually causes problems for restaurants and desert places but was handled brilliantly... The service was brilliant, the deserts were scrumptious, the decor was colourful yet not over done... Best desert place in Blackburn without doubt... Needs more hype to be honest... Loved it

Went last night for desserts with family. Service was shocking. We were told to leave immediately as they were closing a few mins after our food arrived. Ended up leaving most of it. Also quality of food has seriously gone downhill as cake was stale. Would not recommend.

Wide variety of desserts available from cakes, ice creams, milkshakes, old school puddings, Asian desserts etc. My personal favourite is the sarsprella milkshake. Also, the decor in the place is something different and very elegant.

Only booked the Willows due to the majority of other restaurants not taking bookings due to EID week. Easy to make reservations, not as easy to receive customer service or food to be served. 11 meals ordered, only 7 turned up, the female who brought the last couple of meals out to the table asked is that everything, and before we could say “No, we are missing 4 meals” she had already turned around and not waited for an answer. I thought this member of staff may be a let down to the business when we arrived. The young women had no interest in serving our group of 11, looking at us at the bar and then turning away to carry on chatting to 2 construction workers, It was left down to a younger female staff member to take our orders as well as a male member of staff. Both were polite and took firstly our drinks order and then our food orders. Waited an hour for food, only for it to arrive mostly cold, but over cooked, suggesting the food had been overcooked some time ago, only to be served up an hour or so later. As stated at the beginning the rude female staff member served the last 2 meals and then ignored us after asking us if we had everything. After 15-20 minutes I went to the bar to ask where the remaining 4 orders of food where. The same, rude female staff member firstly tried to suggest that we all ordered our food at separate times and that’s why we were still waiting on food. I explained that this was not the case and the woman just shrugged and repeatedly kept replying “I know, I know, I know to everyone of my questions. The woman at no time tried to apologise or offer to chase up the issue with the food and just remained standing at the bar, chatting to people in the pub she was clearly familiar with. After another 2 visits to ask other staff where the missing food was, 2 meals where served a full 30 after the majority of the food was received. One meal was suppose to be fish and chips, the fish was clearly inedible, grossly overcooked to the point it had curled up for at both ends and had almost formed a circle on the plate. Again it was clear the fish had not just been cooked, it looked like a meal that had been ordered several hours before and perhaps someone had also been fed up with waiting and asked for a refund a few hours earlier (this also happened when another family cancelled their meals after waiting over an hour as we where at the bar inquiring where our food was). The fish most likely had been reheated for a couple of minutes and then re-served, it was 100% not freshly cooked. The 2 male staff and manager where very apologetic and eventually offered some of the group refunds, as well as offering my wife, who was celebrating her 50th birthday a bottle of Prosecco. We realise that a lot of things can go wrong in a pub serving food, but was is unacceptable is the female member of staff’s attitude to customers for the whole time we were at the Willows. Not one apology issued from her, not one iota of concerns towards customers, just breezing in and out, chatting to people she clearly knew, sitting at their tables, chatting outside with them, all while the younger girl worked tirelessly covering for her lack of interest and lack of work ethic. What should have been a lovely evening for my wife was soured by the food situation and the food quality, made worse by the lack of work ethic from certain, well one member of staff. We have visited the Willows 3 times in the past 4 months but sadly we won’t be returning in the future. Food poor, customer service was blighted by the woman supposedly working (it was difficult to tell) and only rescued by the professional, understanding male bar worker and the manager.

Very disappointed. Will not visit Blackburn M&S again. No wonder sales are down and branches closing. Watched member of staff stood there watching the doors just look on while 2 mum's were struggling to get through the door, it was almost as though she was laughing!!!!! Went round the food section and the staff were unhelpful and rude.. once of a day M&S had quality staff as well as products. How times have changed. Very Poor

We booked this venue for my partners 40th. They accommodated us to bring our balloon arch and cake more earlier than our party to the venue which was a massive help! I paid a deposit and this includes a private section of the venue for you and your guests and buffet, there is an amount you need to spend behind the bar to get this back, but when you work out prices people spend it was actually amazing value. Even though there was some members of the public in the other sections they were also really lovely. Artisan Cafe and Wine Bar also allow you to book your own DJ/ Music entertainment or you can book their resident DJ for half the price. All in all a fabulous venue that I wouldn’t hesitate to book again or recommend to my friends and family for them book. Staff: Really friendly bar staff behind the bar who gave great service and chatted/ laughed with our guests. Venue: Stylish venue with beautiful decor, in the center of Darwen. It’s ao easy to find and the taxi rank is 2 minutes walk away so me and my partner could really let our hair down Buffet/Drinks: Really tasty food and lots for everyone… we had more than enough left over. They have a great range of drinks and shots behind the bar, they serve lovely Rose wine too! Booking: I spoke with the manager over Facebook messenger and this made it so easy to book at my own pace (as life does get hectic) and the manager was responsive and so friendly. Any questions I had were answered promptly and just the customer service itself gave me confidence in the venue. Overall 10/10 all round! Thanks for a really great night Artisan Cafe and Wine Bar x
