La Viva in Preston

Perfect. Lovely friendly staff . Fab food x

Called in for a quick snack we were seated wrinkly and efficiently the staff were friendly and courteous and for £8.50 my tuna melt panini was tasty plus there were chips included I would definitely call in again

Me and my boyfriend come here every weekend, it’s our favourite place, I’ve tried several different dishes and the food is always perfect and of a high standard and quality. The staff are so welcoming and friendly and always provide such a high quality service and never let us down. They even make a meal for my partner which isn’t on the menu! I would recommend this to everyone and anyone!!

We stumbled on La Viva by accident on a wet bank holiday Monday looking for a place for lunch. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and we were offered drinks straight away. We ordered a toastie and a wrap, and both were excellent and good value for money. The music was 80's which suited me just fine! We will definitely be going back and would recommend La Viva to everyone. Give it a try! You won't be disappointed 👍

Enjoyed the café. They appeared to appreciate my business and were very attentive. Ordered a latte and a bit of Turkish street food. Definitely will repeat.

We thoroughly enjoyed our brunch here. Wasn’t a great fan of their signature bread. But it went really well with the jam they provided. Staff were really friendly

Lovely, clean, and tidy. Good food and really nice staff.

Had breakfast/brunch here. Great service, friendly staff and good food.

Stopped for an excellent latte. Nice place, been quite a few times with my wife for a Saturday lunch. Always good.

Great welcome and very attentive staff. Reasonable prices and excellent food. Coffee could be stronger, I'll have to ask for extra shot next time. Will be back

Great find. Very fresh and tasty food. We will definitely be back! We had pizza and chicken burger. Both were fantastic!

Warm welcome staff all lovely and go the extra mile for you and full English breakfast was amazing 👏

We received a warm welcome as we entered. The food was lovely, we had a chicken and avocado salad and panini for lunch. The toilets were clean, too!

Meeting family during a short time window for their train travel. They managed to accommodate 8 at short notice. Food served was first class, all enjoyed it. Service was excellent.

One of the best breakfast I've had. Excellent food.

A warm friendly welcome is always a good start. We were warmly greeted and swiftly shown to a table. The menu is quite comprehensive so I’m sure that there’s something to suit all tastes. As the restaurant is of Turkish nationality we decided to try their Turkish dishes. Their service was polite and swift, the food was delicious and freshly made to order. All at reasonable prices, what’s not to like?

La Viva is a delightful coffee shop that surprised me with its excellent pizza and refreshing coke. The cozy ambiance, coupled with friendly staff, created a perfect setting for a casual meal. The pizza was delicious—flavorful toppings on a perfectly baked crust. The coke was served ice-cold, enhancing the overall experience. La Viva seamlessly blends a coffee shop vibe with fantastic food options, making it a must-visit for both coffee enthusiasts and food lovers alike.

Tried La Viva for the first time yesterday for lunch and glad we did. Very friendly staff and nice décor. We tries a hot mezes which was Turkish sausage, chicken wings and grilled halloumi with a salad and pitta bread followed by apple pie and custard. This was delicious and we will definitely visit again.

Absolutely authentic genuine Italian pasta, with a small portion of delicious cheese given to add to the dish, great for a good view of Preston city center, and quality service.

First time there for a quick lunch and really enjoyed it.

Great food at reasonable prices, freshly made. Staff and service were great, will definitely go again

Lovely friendly establishment serving a vast variety of food. Fast service. We had breakfast no 1 which was delicious.

Came here as a last second decision for a quick lunch whilst Xmas shopping. Amazing hospitality, very attentive and friendly. Food was great, the soup and fresh bread was beautiful alongside toasties and omlettes. Highly recommend 😀

My daughter, granddaughter and sister go for lunch every Saturday. The food is 5 star and very friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble .

Absolutely amazing service and tasty food. Came in for an all day breakfast and asked to combine the #3 and #4 and they provided! (I eat a lot!) Will be back and will be recommending to friends and family.

Great food , great prices - friendly staff 👍 👍👌

Friendly staff , fast service, good food

Absolutely hidden gem, the food, the service was 100% and very very Reasonable priced

This is a lovely cafe with a generous menu at competitive prices. Staff were very thoughtful and courteous. Would definitely go back again as I have been in there twice before.

Witnessed manager assaulting a member of staff ,will be giving this a miss from now on .

Stopped here for lunch as we had a 3 hour break between trains. We'd walked along the street and looked at a few places before going in here. Staff were quick and very attentive and they all worked together. There seemed to be both tourists (like us) and locals and all generations, nice atmosphere and you could sit inside or outside. Hubby had the turkish breakfast which he enjoyed and I had the spaghetti bolangaise which had a wee spicy kick in it which I wasn't expecting (I don't 'do' spicy food) but it was very nice and a generous portion which I couldn't finish! We'd go back if every passing through Preston again :)

Bad head on beer and the pasta had very little flavour but the staff are friendly and the price is great

A really nice place for a lunch time break.Went on a recommendation from a friend.Well worth it.Lovely food and reasonable price.Good choice,English, Turkish/Greek.Service a bit slow due to nearly all tables full.Service from the staff above and beyond,placed wife's scooter in side area,served a deaf couple used bsl well and escorted and helped an old couple to table moving other tables to help.These little things show good customer service.Will go again when in Preston.

Nice thanks, Turkish breakfast is a bit different

The friendliest staff ever - they even made sure to let us know how they cook the food to keep our meal halal (they even brought it up themselves!)The food was also really healthy and delicious. The whole experience makes me want to go back again soon. Thank you again ☺️

Absolutely love this Cafe/Restaurant. Service is great, as is the Food. Prices are reasonable & the place is spotlessly clean. Nice friendly atmosphere & definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants great food in a relaxing & casual environment.

I tried this cafe because it looked different. A Turkish cafe that sells your standard coffees plus Turkish coffee, I tried the Turkish inspired coffee and a Turkish snack, which was not dissimilar to a bagel in texture. Really friendly staff and food excellent. You can sit in or out. Toilet on the same floor, which was clean. Prices are reasonable too

Very good great breakfast too nice establishment too

Ordered a sausage barm, barm was ripped apart from being buttered and sausages were over cooked. Overall below standard food and over priced for what you get. Won't go back.

We visited on Monday just gone. The staff were very friendly and the breakfasts were great. I'd have extra bacon and no sausage next time as the sausage wasn't really to my taste. Really enjoyed the option of sitting outside in the nice weather too!

Called in today for Brunch in a 3 generation group of 5 out for a Father's Day meal. Everybody was impressed by the food, service and value. I had a breakfast and liked how you could opt for different items from the menu. The food was cooked well and came on a hot plate which was perfect as we ate outside. The other 3 adults had wraps with my daughter asking for a runny fried egg on top of her's which got a smile from the owner but it came exactly as she had ordered. They were all pleased with their choices and my 6 year old Grandson tackled the adult cheese and ham omlette and only left a few chips. With coffees and a juice the bill was under £60 and the whole time we were there the staff were smiling and attentive.

wouldn’t recommend going here. the food is average, if not slightly below average, and quite over priced. the turkish breakfast is definitely not worth how much they charge, for how little you get. the staff are lovely but chefs do not know how to even boil an egg, which is surely basic

wouldn’t recommend going here. the food is average, if not slightly below average, and quite over priced. the turkish breakfast is definitely not worth how much they charge, for how little you get. paid for beans on the breakfast, £1.20, a literally got a table spoon of them. the staff are lovely but chefs do not know how to even boil an egg, which is surely basic

Extremely good service, fresh food and lovely atmosphere. One of my favourite spots even to go alone, very welcoming 😊

I have visited la viva before when i was on a visit to Preston,very friendly staff,excellent food ,i went for breakfast everything was cooked perfect especially the bacon because i like it well done,and it was spot on everything was cooked perfect,i also visited for lunch and ordered the soup,this was homemade lentil soup,the moans coming from my mouth should have let the whole street know i was enjoying the good bowl of delicious soup,the warm crispy bread with it was also superb,great value for money great surroudings,and very caring staff.please pop into la Viva if your in Preston you wont be disappointed.

Very good food at very good prices great staff.

A really nice cafe with lovely food and a good choice on the menu. All the staff are lovely, especially Tony. We would recommend and visit again when in Preston.

Friendly team and great Turkish breakfast!

Popped for brunch with my hubby, on his recommendation. He raves about the cooked breakfast. I had a baked potato with chilli, which was great. It came with a salad and coleslaw. Very tasty!

Very pleasant, lovely staff and lovely food, good choice on menu, coffees are delicious, would return again !

Lovely little spot, I have been here a number of times now early morning and the customer service is faultless. Lovely friendly staff and good food for a reasonable price.

Nice food, quite expensive drinks, food was fresh

Love the place good staff very pleasent

Food and drinks were very nice, but man behind the counter made both me and my friend very uncomfortable as would not stop staring, slightly ruined the experience.

Was in viva today with my daughter and grandsons great friendly service and excellent food always my go to place

Was greeted at the door, the staff was very friendly & welcoming. Our order was taken & our coffees & bacon bun was soon on the table. The menu has alot of choice & good value for money. The cafe itself was extremely clean. The services was wonderful (:

Always a warm welcome staff are lovely Coffee here is my favourite in town. To be honest I usually have a cake and coffee but my fellas had the breakfast said it was good..

Very efficient staff and definitely a customer focused approach to their service. I had a English breakfast, coffee and a milkshake. The food was good, milkshake was very good and the coffee was okay as well. I was just passing through but was aware of the rapport the staff and management had with their local customers, which added to the friendly feel of the place. I'd pop back in again if I was passing again for sure.

Lovely staff and great food. Very friendly atmosphere

Stopped for a coffee and had a great hot drink and slice of chocolate cake for just £4.50. could have carrot cake either.

Friendly staff, delicious cakes

I had lasagne which looked like it came out of a packet and chips, the chips were and not homemade a came on a chipped plate, sorry didnt take a picture of that the apple pie was burnt and the custard was made with water. Not good.

Great cafe! We had toasties & they come with chips for just over a fiver! They had Soya milk also to make my latte. Really tasty food & good prices. The staff were very friendly- greeting us as soon as we arrived. It has comfy cushioned seats/ back benches & a quirky but simplistic decor which looked great. Lovely atmosphere.

Don't get a veggie breakfast please lord

Don't be fooled by the pictures and eat here, they are like cannibals and it's a very dirty restaurant, you will regret the money you spent.

Amazing food. Hot and delicious. Excellent choices on the menu. Prices are really good and the staff are absolutely lovely

Excellent food and atmosphere. Multiple Turkish options to try. Staff are very friendly.

Great place. Very friendly and helpful. The lamb is fantastic. Everything is reasonably priced. Well done. Would definitely recommend the place

really enjoyed our lunch today. The food was great - the owners really happy to have guests and proud of what they are doing. The homemade bread and soup was superb. A great choice of English and Turkish food for everyone. We will be back!!

had a really enjoyable lunch. the owners are so approachable and proud of what they are doing. the homemade fresh bread and soup is outstanding. Great value, great service and great food, Thank you. We will be back for Mezze.

It's OK. Food is good but the guy literally tried to sell us every add on there was on the menu as though they were included options.

Never tried La Viva before, but on a cold November day a slightly heartier lunch could be excused to combat the chill. La Viva looked just right, with a reasonable number of tables occupied and some brave souls outside, punished for their smoking habit. It's pleasant inside, with nice clean modern decor, though you might prefer a table deeper into the cafe as the door area was somewhat draughty. The staff are all efficient and pleasant. We ordered Paninis with Fries, and my wife had Pinot wine while I stuck with tea. Drinks arrived promptly, rather too promptly really as I had all but finished mine before the food arrived: slightly later than hoped for. We had difficulty telling the Paninis apart as both had lots of cheese, and the pepperoni on mine was an endangered species apparently, as the chef could only find 2 thin pieces for the entire sandwich! Not really worth the 50p premium: I felt like asking for a refund! The accompanying chips were lovely and hot. So all in all, not bad, though a hint of a salad garnish would have made the plate more colourful at minimal cost. Would we return? Possibly, but the paninis were a bit stingy; you really need to see what Rise do with the meat on their sandwiches, one glance would render a Vegan unconscious. That said, all else was ok, and cheered up lunchtime a treat.

Love this cafe, food excellent, service is second to none. Highly recommend this cafe

Family members regular customers always lovely and chatty.always know their order before asking.service great.prices not too bad.good location for shopping.wait time good for orders.

Went with my mum for a coffee and was treated so well, they had a really welcoming atmosphere. the coffee was great and when I accidentally knocked the cup over spilling coffee when grabbing mine they were so apologetic despite it being my fault and kept asking if I was OK, remade the cup I spilt with no bother. The customer service was great and it was so kind of them to be so concerned and kind when it was my fault in the first place. Would definitely go again and I look forward to trying the food. I hope the staff know how much I appreciate how nice they were <3

Sunny spot, dog friendly, nice place for a coffee

After abandoning Brucianni, stopped here to a warm welcome, attentive service and a good breakfast. Was £20 for two, so not the cheapest, but worth it. Would recommend.

Excellent food, very friendly staff. Would highly recommend

Lovely food, served quickly. Very reasonably priced

Staff is very friendly excellent Turkish breakfast and delicious Menemen meal, well done guys.

Visited today and the service was spot on. The staff were so friendly and the food was great. I don’t normally write reviews but I feel this cafe deserved it! I will definitely be going back.

Lovely friendly and helpful staff. Great coffee. Thank you.

Perfect place to sit on a Sunday morning. Enjoying breakfast with some sun. Great service and delicious meal.

Fab place, food great and friendly staff. Will definately be paying another visit.

Brilliant food friendly staff and amazing owner we loved it definitely visit again

I have been here many times and as always it's the perfect place to go. If you want somewhere quiet with no music blaring first thing in the morning for breakfast, this is the place. Lunch also is great, inexpensive and good quality food no matter what time of day you go. Great for families too as I take the kids on a regular basis, the staff are soo accomadating and friendly . The milkshakes are great for kids too 😀
