Without a doubt, one of the best soups I've ever tasted. I chose the Creamy Spinach and it was absolutely delicious. Congratulations to the chef! I'll definitely be back for more!

Chef Daniela has undoubtedly set the bar high with her exceptional scones, earning her well-deserved acclaim. Each bite of her creations is a testament to her culinary prowess, with a perfect balance of flavors and textures that leave patrons craving more. Congratulations to Chef Daniela for elevating the town's scone game to new heights. Her dedication and skill shine through in every batch, making her scones the undisputed best in town.

I know we haven't been able to eat out for a while but even so, this was the best we've had for a shopping centre cafe. The service was excellent as was the food, I couldn't fault anything, the tea was a large pot of leaf tea with strainer, the latte was very nice too. We both had two slices of toast (standard) with a small breakfast, the table and cutlery were all very clean, overall a very pleasant experience.

Decided to treat myself to a tea and a toasted teacake.You always get a big pot of tea even for one and it's proper tea leaves with a strainer.The teacake was very good as always.Never fails to disappoint in terms of food and quality of service.Don't be put off by the fact that it's in a shopping centre - good food can be done!

Visited today for lunch. I ordered a ice tea, clearly the tea had not been in the fridge so my drink was cooled by ice cubes. I had chosen cucumber and mint....it was sickly sweet! And warm!I selected a panini with pulled pork and cheese, it was dry and tasteless. My partner did however enjoy his bottled sparkling water!!! His salami focaccia was a disgrace again tasteless. The garnish was a solitary pea shoot!The service was lacking too.... I realise it was a hot day but staff should have a ‘game face’. I will not be returning a waste of £15 quid

I have been here with husband, and then came back about 2 weeks ago with my daughter and my mum. We were greeted to our table with menus and told about the choices of the day with specials etc We ordered quite a few drinks with the young girl with ginger hair and she was lovely! Really accommodating and friendly and definitely knows how to talk to customers to make them feel welcome. Our drinks were specialities and they were lush!!!! The food was ok overall but my jacket was quite dry, my mother’s soup was also quite cold and we didn’t want to complain or send back as staff seemed stressed and it got busy but came out in decent time though. The young lady with ginger hair who took our order, came to check on us and without a fuss didn’t hesitate to sort our food out and then give us a drink on the house. she really seemed to care about us and the customers sitting near, and never stopped. She’s a pleasure to the business. A young man took our payment and he was polite to. Will be returning purely because of how we were treat and it’s a nice stop off place whilst shopping in the centre .

On a recent visit to our daughter we needed a light lunch. Having visited before we thought we would get a jacket potato each. On getting in we were told there would be a 25 minute wait for food which would have been ok, but then told a baked potato would take an hour.... We ordered alternative dishes only to watch a fresh batch of potatoes ready to serve get put behind the counter after about 20 minutes. Our food arrived and wasn't as good as we remembered the dishes in the past.

Been visiting this cafe for well over 10 years with my youngest daughter, we have never had any issues in the past and staff have been very helpful. However today the blond manager clearly could not be bothered and would not let us know the ingredients of a cake! basically refused. It was her smug attitude more than anything else. Definitely will be walking straight past in future and going to the Costa a bit further along who are more than happy to help.

Have happily visited this café for many years now. For most of the time, being our favourite ! we had scones, jam and cream with a cup of coffee. The scones were always made on the premises and were very tasty.Unfortunately today, we have been told scones are no longer being produced by Moka and are being bought in from elsewhere instead. These substitutes (although not tasted) looked very unappetising, so we did not purchase.The rest of the menu has also been drastically reduced in size/choice which is a great shame.Overall, it feels like the café has basically down-graded everything. Such a shame when it has, until now, been such a good food venue and vibrant, pleasant place to meet in general.The food was average today and nowhere near previous standards of what used to be 5 star rating in our opinion.It must be stressed that the staff are all still very friendly and helpful.However, unless the place reverts back to original, we shall definitely not be returning and will go elsewhere.

Food/drink tasted good (except for a hot chocolate which had a huge pocket of unmixed chocolate powder), but the service was awful. It took an hour from being seated to be served 10 hot drinks and 7 slices of pre-made cake. It was clear that we were left until last because we were a large(ish) group - other customers came, had hot food and went whilst we sat waiting. When I mentioned the poor service to the manager (after I’d paid) I was met with an arrogant ‘well, we’re busy’. Great stuff, good luck being busy in the future with customer service like that! A blonde female member of staff was much nicer to deal with, but alas, she couldn’t make up for the shortcomings of the experience. Don’t waste your time visiting - the town has plenty of good coffee shops to visit instead.

We went about half 4 on a Saturday and the floor was really dirty and there were plenty of tables that had been left unclear. It took 5 minutes to get a menu and then we had to wait another 15 minutes before someone came to get our order. We only ordered a milkshake, iced tea, smoothie and a slice of cake but that took 20 minutes. The drinks and cake were fine bit we were there for one hour, no idea how long you would have to wait if you ordered food. Staff are all dressed in black and yes it can be difficult to keep clean when working with food but some of the staff looked dishevelled with food stains. It just didn't look very professional and there seemed to be a lack of management at the establishment.

As a local, I rarely eat in Preston city centre but time had run away with me and with more errands to run, I decided it was sensible to eat in town today. Moka looked well patronised so I decided to sit down. The food, when it eventually arrived, was very pleasant but I did have to wait some considerable time for a relatively straightforward choice.

My daughter and I had lunch today Saturday 3rd March and left disappointed this time. In the past we have had the breakfast menu which offers so much choice at a reasonable price, a favourite of ours being the eggs royal. This time we where to late for the breakfast menu so looked over the lunch menu. It was very basic and most meals where £9.95, a full breakfast and fish & chips being on there at that price. I opted for prawn Marie sandwich which was if I remember rightly was £6,95 , it came with no salad just a sprinkle of rocket and no prawn Marie sauce as stated , the prawns where on one half of the bread and the other half was on my plate neither bread was buttered ( it was very strange) I also had a portion of chips and a pot of tea & my daughter had a children’s meal and didn’t get much change from £20. Wasn’t worth it will go else where in future as loads of competition now in Preston that offer so much more at a lot better value.

Nothing particularly wrong with the ingredients just an odd concoction.

Again, I had a simple snack, but even from this I could tell that everything was right about the place; the quality of the food, the service and even the way you are shown to a seat. You are treated as a person not just a customer. If ever I happen to be in Preston again I shall call in at Moka and have my Earl Grey tea and scone.

I visited here for the first time on Monday lunch time with my mum, we thought it would be a nice way to end a girly day shopping...how wrong we were. it took the staff a while to come over to us and take our order and when the waitress did come over she did not seem confident in taking our order and continued to repeat..i don't normally take orders I am no good at this side of things, I felt really sorry for the young girl (had dark brown hair) clearly more training is required so that she feels comfortable taking orders. We ordered drinks, I ordered an infused water I did not realise how big the jug was so when it came I was shocked, I would not have been able to drink it on my own so asked a different waitress (blonde hair) if I could just have normal tap water, I apologised for the inconvenience it would cause but would only go to waste but it seems like such a big effort for her to do, no smile and a huge lack of customer service! when our food arrived my ceaser salad had anchovies on it which it does not state on the menu, I can't stand fish so was already put off my food :( anyway I started to eat then discovered a piece of sweetcorn which again should not have been on my plate and wasn't even part of what my mum had to eat!! This should not have been anywhere near my dinner, the chefs need to ensure that everything is in separate pots and not mixing, as I carried on after removing the corn I discovered a few hairs in my dinner looked like they were off a cloth where someone had dried the bowl, as I looked closer there were a few more too, put me straight off and did not eat anymore. My mum also stopped eating as she was put off too! :( when we went to the till to pay we explained all of this to the young girl (blonde hair) all she did was say okay and took it off the bill which was nice of her to do but there was no apology from her, and to be honest she just didn't seem bothered at all, she was rather rude and clearly did not want to be there! think you need to send your staff on some customer service courses! ruined our day. We will not be returning :(

Best food, great atmosphere. Friendly, efficient staff. Lunchtime specials include home made soup and baguette which is always good.

Have to say never been here before but yesterday met friends for breakfast. Ended up staying for a few hours! The staff are lovely, they give good service, food was lovely! The slice of cake was enormous! They didn't try to hurry us out because they needed the table! It was absolutely fab and would recommend.

Nice place inside fishergate. Great for a decent coffee if you are waiting for a train, coffee nicer than train station and corner a lot more pleasant than at train station.

The cafe area looks smart, comfortable and clean. I got a milkshake to take away which was really nice but Im not able to comment on anything else since I was only there briefly and in a rush.

This was my first visit to moka on the balcony and it was a great experience. Firstly the cleanliness of the restaurant was exceptional, all the staff are very friendly and helpful. The lunch menu has a good variety and all the food is cooked fresh and made to a very high quality. Cannot fault this place. We will definitely return soon

My title says it all. It is very handy for the train station! This is an excellent little place with staff who are attentive and customer focussed. The food is good and well presented. I would not hesitate to recommend Moka on the Balcony - you'll not be disappointed.

We usually visit a restaurant when we are in Preston, but decided we wanted something lighter and chose Moka with little expectation. We really enjoyed the food and next time we are in Preston we'll probably visit again. Quite impressed, and so handy for the train station.

Regularly visit here with my 1yr old and 3yr old and husband. The staff are always friendly, great with the children. The children's meals they get a toy, we have had a packet of dinosaurs, colouring books an plenty of other things. The meals are always delicious and the coffee is good. The balcony is great for the children to people watch. Highly recommend.

Had a lovely lunch at moka on the balcony today as a staff member eating for a day out moka has very exceptional staff service and the food is brilliant I do advise moka on the balcony as a brilliant restaurant for a lunch visit with friends/family. The assistant manager Jamie Williamson has good manners and very polite! Definitely 5* worthy.

Usually love coming here but was horrendous today. Table next to us was shouting loudly top of their voices. When asked if they could be quiet we were told no as they are staff at their other restaurant. Other people asked to move table. Sadly ruined my evening to the point o didn’t even eat my main. Asked if I could have it to take out shocking that they prioritise their staff over customers. Won’t be back for a while just think it’s ridiculous how loud people are without any consideration for others.
