Little Barista in Burnley

We have been going to Little Barista for years. On this occasion it was breakfast. If you are looking for a full English or similar for breakfast the you will be disappointed but for toast, toasted tea cakes and paninis or waffles then this is the place. The coffee is excellent and they now roast their own on the premises and you can buy roasted coffee to take home too. You don’t have to stay in as they offer a take away service at the counter too. Finally, you need to see the cake display - it is regularly changing too.

Visited in the afternoon on 12/3/24 as my usual lovely little cafe closes on a Tuesday at 2:30 so we met in here,not been in here in ages as the last time I did it was so noisy & the tables were so close together. Now the ladies in here are lovely so friendly & polite but whom was the tall slim man working in here today? Rude shouted at the girl as they had forgotten my soup and flicked the ticket hung up at the back with the orders on,I said too her “he’s in a bad mood” what an awful atmosphere,slow today and not that busy on a Tuesday afternoon,the couple on the next table asked where her soup was also,as her partner was sat with his,we had our drinks a while then one soup came out in the cardboard bowl,then the sandwich but no soup with my sandwich,after he’d ranted out loud my soup came out in the cardboard bowl plonked on the table with the spoon(not wrapped in a serviette)a pathetic sorry from him. Soup was absolutely boiling obviously been warmed up in the microwave far too long so couldn’t eat this straight away,bland leak & potato soup lacking seasoning,however the bbq chicken baguette sandwich was nice. Didn’t bother with a cake after that as just wanted to leave after such a poor visit today.Manager or whoever he was obviously having a bad day.

I love this café, staff are incredibly attentive and genuinely feel like they care. You can tell they enjoy their job or at least don an incredible façade! I quizzed the barista on how fresh their coffee was and it was explained that they roast their own coffee on site. So in other words incredibly fresh, you can’t get any fresher. Coffee’s flavour profile diminishes with oxidation, especially decaf. This knowledge made for time and money well spent, the coffee was bang on. Was appropriately upsold on their ginormous scones and would happily do so again as we wanted some dinner. Only feedback I have would be regarding savoury options. It’s advertised that you can get food and such, when we arrived we were seated, given a table number etc great stuff, great service. We missed where the sandwiches were, we didn’t notice until we left, which was a little bit of a disappointment on our own behalfs as it was our fault we didn’t see them. The fridge with the food in though is separated from the main counter and isn’t intuitive for a brain dead donkey such as myself.. we didn’t ask when we were ordering in queue either which is our fault. Probably a good job though, we were stuffed from the scone! Oh well just means I’ll have to come back again another day 😁 a problem I am happy to have. Great team, great service, incredible coffee

Delicious coffee and snacks, with a wide range of options. Excellent customer service by Emily. Well worth the visit. It gets very busy, so expect a well worth it wait.

Perfect lunch date, the soup and the panini is always great. Very friendly staff and dog friendly outside too!

There really is nowhere else like this place. I hadn't been in a while but was very glad to be there again yesterday. You're welcomed at the door, the staff find a table for you to sit and nothing is too much trouble for them in ensuring you have a great visit. I had coffee and cakes and also some extra drinks as we stayed a bit longer, and all were exquisite. They use coffee roasted right there in the shop - you can watch the roastery in use - magnificent. The service, as always, was second to none. Do yourself a favour and visit this lovely, quirky, excellent quality place!

I called in today after being recommended by a good friend. My wife and I had the best coffee we’ve had in a long time. The coffee is actually roasted on the premises and is served with organic milk and really is the best coffee in the area. Apparently it’s a family run business and it’s pretty clear from the moment you step in. All the staff are so helpful and customer care is 10/10. The sandwich and soup deal was great value for money followed by a delicious home made brownie and hand made vanilla ice cream. Highly recommended if you are visiting Burnley.

Each time I go for a coffee at little Barista it just gets better and better. The coffee is delicious definitely one of the best coffee’s I have tasted, the staff are so friendly and helpful delicious locally sourced food always looks very tempting especially the scones and cakes !!

I visited with my grandchildren when we came into Burnley. What a great experience. The food and the service was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to make sure we had everything g that we needed. We had the sandwich and soup deal which was excellent value for money followed by home made cakes and ice cream. The flamed caramel hazelnut latte was to die for and my husband had an latte. All organic with organic milk. Top class and well worth a visit if you are in Burnley.

Love this coffee shop, lots of choice. The staff are obviously trained well. Professional, friendly , helpful and hard working. The cleanliness is top class. Amazing coffee, I love their toasted fruit teacake, haven’t tried a panini but they look delicious 😋

Ordered a panini a hot chocolate and a cake first of all impressions are ok sat outside the forgot to charge for panini human error fair enough paid again. Panini came out with a little dip i tasted this as i thought i was safe noone said anything regarding what was inside it just looked like a yoghurt dip Went inside asked what was inside this I mentioned i had an allergy there reply was oh You seriously taking mick i will be going further regarding this now and allergies should be taken seriously the other girl had no idea what was in it but yet i am now with a hot fever and i am now having to use my epi pen which i havent used in years as everywhere i go always asks. No one has even checked or spoken to me while my daughter is eating her cake absolutely disgusting service and obviously none of them care about allergies....

There were so many tempting coffees to choose from in this buzzy, popular place. I tried a split shot for the first time ever and it was delicious. Nice commitment to supporting orangutans too!

Lovely place with a relaxing vibe. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Coffee is excellent but a bit pricey. We'll worth a visit.

Food , drink & service is always 10/10. Staff are welcoming & attentive. Good choice of drinks and well presented food. I would much rather pay a little extra and support an independent than pay cheaper prices to a chain.

Absolutely excellent coffee and cakes (there are soups and things too, which I didn’t try but which looked and smelled brilliant). Staff 10/10 wonderful, too. Cannot recommend highly enough.

A little gem in Burnley! I went recently with family for coffee and cake and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was was really upbeat with a great taste in music. My daughter claims that the chai latte was the best she’d had in a long time. Everything was so well presented which certainly enhanced the experience even further. I would certainly recommend a visit

Really lovely. Best atmosphere of all the coffee shops in Burnley town centre. 80s music. Presentation excellent. Yummy drinks & food. Clean. Gorgeous friendly staff. Manager is lovely. Outside seating - Burnley’s like Little Italy 🤣

Little Barista is just the most wonderful little coffee shop. Fantastic coffee.. and the cakes are amazing!! We've been to many coffee shops over the years, but this is by far the best! Staff are amazing, always greet you with a smile and hello, and a goodbye as you leave. Can't fault it.

Absolutely love this place! Been a few times now and every time the service, food and coffee is wonderful. Perfect place for lunch with friends or if you need somewhere to get some work done during the day! The iced coffee is particularly great, and the range of sandwiches/paninis, soup and cake, is always something to look forward to!

This coffee shop is the best one in lancashire the drinks taste phenomenal always so smooth and tasty. Cakes taste home made and not to forget the soup and panines the beat thing about it all sandwichs are halal.

Amazing food, coffee and vibrant atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and very helpful. Free wifi so the cafe is perfect to get some uni work done whilst visiting!

I feel this place really makes a difference in the town centre. They have great vegan choices and personally think it's one of the best coffee shops in Pendle. Very fast service, it's always busy and their menu is very expansive.

There is no place quite like Little Barista. Though very continental in style, there is something for absolutely everyone here. From Organic Olives to artinsnal wraps, not to mention the most wonderful choice of coffee inc cold brew, and the exciting, highly nutritious smoothies (charcoal...

Well after the 1st time we thought we would give it another go… And to my surprise everything was good, coffee great cake good but a little pricy. Friendly staff and pleasant. Tables are a little small and close together inside your better off outside...

I’m going to keep it short, the service is beautiful and very generous (they gave us a free extra cup as we are in a large group) and the tea is immaculate.

Possibly the best service for a coffee shop within the Burnley area. Just wish their coffee cups were a little bigger!

Visited with my wife and granddaughter. We had two flamed hazelnut lattes and a cookies and cream frappe which were excellent. I had the daily offer of soup and a sandwich at a very reasonable price and my wife had a waffle with maple syrup...

First visit to this place will definitely come here next time in Burnley.Really friendly staff good menu great tea Thankyou and a real credit to the town.

It’s located in the main shopping precinct in Burnley. It has a large interior and a large outside space in the glass covered passageway. It is necessary to order at the counter and the two flat whites were then delivered to our outside table. They...

With work (excluding present time) we visit many coffee shops up and down and we often not wowed as much as this little gem did ! The decor is superb it’s let’s say not run of the mill and not a mass corporate look anywhere...

Absolutely amazing! The staff are super friendly and helpful, can't do enough for you and always a massive smile on their face. Love the decor, very quirky and cool crockery and immaculately clean. Menu is fabulous - spoilt for choice! The coffee and cheesecakes where...

Pleased to actually get in this place for sit down service post Covid restrictions. The coffee was excellent, service on point and atmosphere pleasant. I work for a tea and coffee company and really appreciated the coffee bean and roast.

We won't allow something like a deadly virus keep us down, glad they're open again , and busier than expected. Stopped off for a bite of lunch during a shopping trip. Never had a bad service. These guys are always friendly.

Waited 20 mins for two paninis, already made.One vegan and one chicken. My son was given the chicken one knowing he was the vegan wich he had a bite of to his horror.also a minuscule cup of freezing cold coffee all for the hefty price...

We usually come here when we are in town shopping, although I have been down just to come for a coffee here. We have never had a bad experience and we have been visiting usually weekly. Such friendly staff, they are always happy and welcome...

I called in today for a qiuck lunch. I ordered the soup and roll option. My soup order got lost somewhere and there was a delay in service. Some one came and appologies and offer me a free coffee. When the soup arrived 2mins later it was really delicious and hot. The staff are doing a fab job of cleaning the table and chairs after every customer and they were pleasant and efficient. I will not let that one little ''blip '' stop me from coming here again. Well done all of you I felt safe after seeing your cleaning procedures in action.

We visited for lunch today, I was extremely impressed by the quality, service and cleanliness of the establishment. Yes, it is a little bit more expensive but it is worth it, the produce is absolutely wonderful and the service was above and beyond. Other places really need a lesson in the Little Barista method. It was lovely.

Really like this place.. but it is one of the more expensive coffee shops in Burnley so quite dissapointed to be charged full price on a Tuesday in August ..

We have been coming here a while now and we, like every customer who walks through the door, are always greeted with a smiley helpful staff. Loads to choose from but we always seem to go for the soup and toastie option as the soup is so good!

At last we can get a fabulous coffee and food in Burnley again. We have missed you soooooooooooooooooo much!! Stay safe :)

Lovely little cafe, excellent choice and value for money and the staff are always helpful pleasant attentive and polite.

After a long wait due to covid-19, we can again enjoy coffee, cake all the usual great delights Little Barista has to offer, but now we can also sit inside or out and enjoy these delights. Quality is as always .... excellent

An absolute gem of a cafe, well worth a visit. Great quality food and drinks and friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended.

I love the atmosphere of The Little Barista and the staff are very attentive. My 'go to' is coffee which is lovely. At times I have dared to leave my comfort zone however, and have not always found other drinks to be as appealing (chai tea, for example, is not very strongly flavoured). Pick up a bag of used coffee grounds on the way out for your lawn or compost heap.

This was a really fun experience consuming organic products for a relatively cheap price The products you get are quality too. Ift has its little quirks to like serving some of the products in weird items. Like my freinds ice chai latte was served in a conical flask. Its was liek being in a science lesson.

Burnley centre has too manyCoffee shops in such a small town centre but little barista is one my favs. Friendly atmosphere and the photographer and barista Tom is a ace part of the team and brings joy everytime I see him . Good atmosphere good coffee good establishment

Absolutely superb, excellent service, food, coffee, tea and deserts. Was looking through the window at the menu and a member of staff invited us in and said you’re welcome to have a look inside, it’s cold outside.The staff were polite and helpful, recommendations were given and everything we ate and drank was fantastic. Little gem in the town, will be sure to return! Thank you.

After being recommended to try their excellent coffee, we were hesitating outside undecided wether to try for lunch. The decision was taken out of our hands when we were spotted by an old school friend who turned out to be the owners mother and swiftly led to their selection of sandwiches, panini and fabulous looking cakes. We were not disappointed, friendly and informative service in pleasant surroundings. Unusual crockery added to the experience too. Highly recommend.

Not been in for a while, but the welcome is just like i was in yesterday. In the christmas mood with the songs and staff wearing the jumpers. See you again soon

The staff were very welcoming & friendly, the interior is beautifully decorated with a homely atmosphere, great choice of drinks & food. The cherry & almond cake was amazing!

I selected the soup meal deal (£5.95 for a small glass of soup and panini) which tastes delicious. Sadly it took just shy of 20 mins to arrive, the staff apparently confused because I’d moved to the next table and they couldn’t find me! (I was asked to move to accommodate a larger family, and sat literally at the next table and know no one looked for me!) anyway it a quite a nice atmosphere if a touch expensive.

Soup delicious coconut and sweet potato, toasted cheese and tomato sandwich, pot of tea just what was required to warm me up and satisfy on a miserable Monday following heavy weekend at Blackpool tower. Highly recommend.

Stopped here whilst shopping for something to eat.

You get a warm welcome as soon as you walk through the front door at Little Barista, really friendly helpful staff. They offer lots of vegan options like paninis, wraps, cheesecakes and loads of vegan cakes.

Little Barista is a little gem, and makes a great Coffee Cortado. Nice atmosphere nice staff, relaxing inside or out whatever the weather.

Had a great quiet and relaxing lunch. Loving the the music as well, having myself a little jig along to the golden oldies

I must say this little barista is very nice and the quality of food and drinks is of such high quality, the taste says it all. But one thing i noticed is how friendly and professional staff are, they should offer training to other trades in customer service it is that good! Keep it up guys :)

I pass through all the time. Best coffee shop in town because I mean it! Staff are always happy to help, nothing is too much. Always greeted on arrival and leaving. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended. Other coffee shops in burnley could learn a thing or two about this level of service!

I was visiting Burnley as I do periodically. The Little Barista was recommended to me by my daughter. How truly exceptional is this coffee shop. The staff are so enthusiastic and friendly and certainly willing to help. Not just to take your order but to help by explaining what they have available. Cold sandwiches, paninis, cakes. Organic coffee, vegan and gluten free options.

Great service, great coffee and a great atmosphere. Tables are not cramped in so you don’t feel others are listening in to your conversation so it’s a good place for an informal business meeting

Many Coffee shops are now in Burnley, But Little Barista is the best of the bunch. I visit this estbalishment at least twice a month.

The staff here are always warm and welcoming and can never do enough to make your visit a pleasant one. We usually visit with friends who use wheelchairs and they do absolutely everything to accommodate us. Nothing is ever a problem. The choice of food is Brill and is always very tasty. Now the cake selection is something else!!!! Be sure to visit, you will definitely not be disappointed.

My husband and I came across this friendly little cafe a few weeks ago and have called in several times since impressed by the service, food and atmosphere! The service today was exemplary! I had a diabetic hypo and the lovely attentive lady who served us made sure we were served quickly with a sugary drink to help me feel better x asked several times if there was anything we needed which was very much appreciated. The service is always superb here. You are greeted with a warm welcome from the moment to step in to a cheery goodbye when you leave and ALL the staff are always smiling and never seem to stop working to make it a very happy, clean and friendly little eaterie and a breath of fresh air with a varied choice of tasty paninis, sandwiches, cakes, teas, coffees and juices! Well worth a visit!

A very cute little place, super busy when we went just before a Burnley match so I understand why but I can't give 5 stars because sadly they did miss parts of our order off.

What an absolute gem in Burnley town centre. Well worth a visit and a really warm welcome from the friendly staff. The soups and sandwich deal is really well worth it followed by one of their delicious lattes and a hone made cake or one of their pastries .

We visited little barista today with our grand children and will definitely be returning- the staff were lovely and the food was excellent. There was a wonderful selection of cakes and pastries to choose from and my wife had the handmade cheesecake with a delicious flat white coffee which was served in a quirky cup and saucer- I had a passion fruit smoothie followed by a homemade chocolate rocher slice which was amazing- we started with the soup and Sandwich deal which someone had recommend to us and we would certainly recommend everything, what a bonus for burnley town centre

Our 1st time to Burnley for over 10 years but this coffee shop ensures we will be back. The range and quality is amazing, matched only by the friendly and efficient service.

I had a coffee a tuna sandwich and a slice of cake and I was a little surprised when the bill was just shy of £12!! Now if everything had been beautiful I wouldn’t have minded so much. The coffee arrived promptly but then the sandwich took a good ten minutes to be toasted by which time I had drank my coffee but I wasn’t keen on purchasing another!!! The sandwich was good and hindsight I think I was greedy (or rather pressured) in having cake too!!! The ice cream was lovely but the cake so stale and dry I could barely eat it. Having cakes pre sliced and uncovered is clearly leading them drying out. Bit of shame really!!! The cafe and the staff are lovely.

We go often and love the friendly atmosphere .The staff member you and if you are a first timer you are soon made one of the family. The selection of snacks and cakes are great. I would recommend everyone to try this wonderful place

The best coffee in Burnley. The staff or soo lovely and friendly and it is one of my favourite places to spend an afternoon. I also love that they give you a little shortbread biscuit with your coffee- such a nice touch. Would highly recommend.
