Raffles Coffee House in Preston

Just had a quick coffee, it was very nice ,will call again when in the area

Went here just before Christmas. I ordered a breaded chicken baguette and my husband bacon Brie and cranberry sauce baguette. He said he didn’t want the chips but they said they would have to charge anyway which we agreed to. The chicken baguette came with 1 1/2 goujons on it and a little paper pot of chilli sauce and some shrivelled up side salad, my husband was asked if he wanted cranberry sauce?? That was in the name of the sandwich, again brought in a little paper pot. The chips were like cardboard. We had a glass of apple juice each and the bill came to £33. What a waste of money.

Hot food served on cold plates is a nono, but the last three times I visited it was served on cold plates.Staff just stand about talking about what a good night out they had.Not very interested in doing their job.

The food is always fabulous and the service is incredible. It has a really friendly atmosphere.

Cheeky lunch with my beautiful daughter. So lucky

I go in here with my mum and sister alot the food is good and drinks are nice and hot! My only issue is that in recent times prices have gone up, I know its a sign of the times but its just annoying for customers! But.....I understand....that's the only thing Foods good quality, cakes look yummy, owners are friendly and staff hardworking It could probably do with a face-lift....its quite tacky cafe deco, would benefit from a revamp

First time to this place, and got a take out hot chocolate. Was waiting for it so decided to look at the menu, got told to move by staff, found the staff rude and abrupt. Hot chocolate was just warm, and tasted awful, over priced. Not going to this place again.

Just last week I had a breakfast wasn't even told there be a wait for food. Waited over half hour for food. Didn't even say sorry about the wait. Sausage was cold to.

Jacket potato was old and cold, 😪😪

Ordered a jacket potatoe which was £3.75 on the menu. When the bill came they charged me £9. When I queried it they said the £3.75 is for takeout only. Surely they should have made me aware of this extortionate price difference between eating in and eating out?! I mentioned it to the lady before paying, and she just kind of smiled and shrugged it off.

One of my favorite coffee shops,always busy but good food ,coffee friendly staff only problem is getting a table as it ie popular

Very good menu options and lovely people. My wife tells me her soup was outstanding.

Me and my hubby just love visiting this cafe in Preston. The food and staff are amazing and the prices are good too.

Very good nice place to be with good people 👍

Great cafe very clean and great service. The food is always hot and tasty 😋

Fantastic food at competitive prices, brilliant and friendly staff, located in the shopping centre. Highly recommend to anyone...

Really excellent service, the waitresses were constantly asking us if we were ready to order and if we needed anything. The food was good and the malted coffee tasted like normal coffee.

Just recently visited on the 20 th and sat near the toilets against the back wall. Toilets out of service but I presume the kitchen was through the same door as staff was going in and out. Myself and my friend was disgusted to be able to smell cannabis coming through a large vent above us on the wall. I seriously advise the owner/manager to investigate as this is not acceptable In a cafe.

Told me my omelette had not been cooked properly but then still charged me full price. Over £12 for a coffee and a few eggs. How hard is it to cook an egg.

The cakes were lovely and a nice big pot of tea was provided. The service was very, very slow though. Two portions of cake and tea for two, £12 so not exactly cheap.

Unfortunately can’t comment on the food as we walked out. We were told to go and sit on a table in a far corner and that someone would bring menus over, we sat there for over 10 minutes, watching other customers being taken to tables with menus, one of which was a table beside us, so we chose to leave as the service was non existent. I always prefer to pick small businesses rather than chains, but we ended up eating at a chain with excellent service.

Used to be great 20 odd years ago and it's not changed at all - apart from being double the size. The club sandwich is still amazing.

Absolutely fantastic customer service the team who work there work so hard and they work as a great team. The food was words that I couldn't explain so I just like to say well done team.

Amazing place and really friendly

Very tasty breakfast, and staff welcoming and friendly.

Although food good past two times we have been we have been served the wrong food so this time we ordered egg mayo and bacon baguettes and where served cheese and onion??? We then had a forever wait for the correct order, no apology or free coffee or discounted bill offered, and as its happened twice, it's off putting to say the least.

really nice, everything is cooked well, and the waitress was lovely and attentive a bit pricey but what isn't these days .. the only thing that is missing is the atmosphere between the staff is rather dull

Must of walked past this shop 100's times , first time went in, lovely place, food was delicious, service excellent, will definitely not be walking past it again when searching for somewhere to get food and drinks

Absolutely loved the desserts and coffee. The pastries were very rich in flavour We had the carrot cake, my personal favourite and chocolate cake.

Its been a while since i was at Raffles its a changed it's looka a bit but still very much the same, still the best malted hot choclate,

The food it’s self is amazing hence the 4 stars. However , my friend recently got a job there and ended up leaving within 3 days of working there as the staff we disgusting. They were rude and made snarky comments about her in front of her face the whole shift. They never once helped her on what to do but instead watched and laughed when she did something wrong, despite never being told what was correct.

First time here and can be very busy at lunch time. Had coffee and a sandwich. All very tasty.

Lovely little cafe with excellent customer service. Great selection of sandwiches / baguettes and treats too.

Great choice of food and drink. Service was lovely. Would recommend Breastfeeding friendly venue

Lovely food . Good price . Great customer service

Great place to eat quality food . Excellent service and very clean surroundings.

Really nice food was lovely, will eat here again.

Great cafe been coming for years x

Ordinary place. Slow in servicing.

First visit to Preston since lock down good service

Food was a little disappointing

Friendly staff and good food. Value for money.

Lovely brunch with the eldest child. He had the oreo waffles which he thoroughly enjoyed, and I had a cafetiere of coffee. Even Had 3/4 choices of different types of coffee. I had the blue sumatra which was really tasty. Service was quick and staff really friendly and efficient.

My wife would give it a 5 for the milk shakes but it's only a 3 from me for the latte as it was a little weak/watery. Clean and nice staff.

Best breakfast in preston clean fresh ingredients every time

Ordered hot baguette on white bread, was handed sandwich, the waitress was rude and stated I said white bread, what I ordered was not in sandwich option. First time I've had a problem with place as normally staff are really nice, extremely disappointed

Wow well expensive I wouldn't eat here again

Great food and wonderful staff 10/10 prices are not bad either keep up the good work also would be nice if there was cereal such as porridge

Clean friendly place with really good food

Poor service, poor staff, and prices are too high.

Really nice staff and really nice food. The food came in less than 5 mins and the coffee was delicious.

I only called in for a coffee but also had a scone which was delicious. Very pleasant staff and very clean premises. Wouldn't hesitate to return. Thank you!

Great coffee house, breakfast is ace, and prices are reasonable.

Lovely little place, have been coming here forever:)

I'm a bit of a scone fanatic and can truly say that Raffles scones are one of the best I've had- hence whenever I'm on training in Preston, I head straight there and purchase a few to take away. They are properly homemade and taste delicious 😋 My colleagues loved them too and it was a special afternoon treat. Staff have always been very welcoming too.

Food was absolutely amazing . I go there all the time when visiting Preston to see my mum .

Just had bacon and egg baton. Possibly the best thing I have put in my mouth and trust me I'm a fat lad so I know about bacon butties.

Always get good and Quick service even if its busy.

Not worth the money £35 for a wrap a sandwich, sausages and a few chips kids meal ,a milkshake and a glass of coke RIP off

Excellent Prompt and Efficient Service and always with a smile 😃

Staff not as commutative as normal . Except 2 . Young girls just said . ( have you finished ? And took it away ) no tip given that day

Friendly staff and food was good.

New people working there not sure if they've changed management food has certainly improved

Lovely little spot. Service with a smile 😃 tasty food 😋 lovely baileys late. Recommended ☆☆☆☆☆

Always include a stop at the delightful Raffles when shopping in Lancaster everything is spot on and a relaxing treat

Best soup in town and brilliant staff can't fault it.

Food and service not very good. And expensive for what it is ordered Hot baguette which came with chips, was cold. Wife had a prawn sandwich which had hardly any prawns in

Nice cafe in St Georges shopping centre by the side of the main rotunda. This cafe is pretty popular and hard to get a seat during peak times The food is basic but good with generous portions. Cakes are good too The staff are friendly and professional Atmosphere and decor is clean and tidy with some interesting historical prints of Preston on the walls

Great meal and lovely pleasant staff

Excellent place to be and staff are first class, great atmosphere also

The food is really nice and the staff always make you feel welcome

Lovely surroundings with friendly staff and great service. A party if 3 people who all ordered different choices but enjoyed by all.

Lovely friendly staff. Very helpful brought me cold water to cool my grandsons bottle

Nice coffee house. Nice food, good service and friendly staff.

Cafetiere best value for a brew. Could do with an extra pat of butter for the baked potato.

Ordered a sausage and onion gravy baguette which was £3.95 on the take out board and £10.95 to eat in which I didn’t realise til I got the bill. Justification for the £7 difference was you got chips with it- chips I didn’t ask for. Food and drinks were lovely though and we got desserts to take away which were really nice too.

Recently updated decor has brightened up the cafe. Lovely hit sandwiches and coffee at great prices

Me and a friend went for a catch up and as we got our coffees we felt like we wasn’t very welcome there. The staff was talking bad things about other staff members when they wasn’t there. About how they made their cappuccinos for customers and giving them horrible nick names. And they was playing the radio very loud Asif they didn’t want us there.

Highly recommend the breakfast, fresh and good quality food. The atmosphere feels nice to be in and the staff were good together. R x

Lovely staff really clean good coffee and lovely scones.xx

Fantastic service and food as always

Disappointing. Slow-ish service and a bit overpriced for bland food. The atmosphere was meh and the music could be better or switched off. I won't be going back again.

Raffles has been going such a long time (more than 30yrs) and still as popular and as good as ever. We both got different baguettes (£7) and had half and half, hence the messy presentation (I forgot to take pic at the start). You can get hot food and regular sliced bread sandwiches too. The curly fries are yummy. We're never disappointed with our meal here and it's in an excellent, central spot in the St. George's shopping mall, which has the multi story carpark above for even more convenience. Wheelchair accessible too.

Me and my step daughter stop here every now and then whilst shopping for gifts for her Daddy. She picked the place and really loves her baked potato with cheese and beans ❤️ My only criticism is the tight seating arrangements, it could do with some less tables, other than that, awesome! One happy customer, thanks Raffles!

The food is not hot slow service and very terrible

Best tasting breakfast I've ever had.

Nice food at good price along with excellent staff

Staff were polite but our Pepsi was flat like it was from a plastic bottle that's been open too long. My husband's cheesecake wasn't set properly and my Banana burrito didn't taste of anything. All for 15 pounds!!!!

Met up with friends in Preston for the first time in over two years. Had a great time catching up over a lovely meal served by efficient and friendly staff. Will go again soon.

Had a lunch there a couple of weeks ago and tea & scones today. Food very good

Fantastic service and amazing food

The cafe is nice food, a little on the expensive side. The staff were nice and busy with a busy cafe but felt even when busy I felt the wait wasn't to bad. I would have given four stars but there is wheelchair access but NO DIABLED TOILETS, which for a larger cafe which has been recently refurbished isn't acceptable. Saying go to St.georges,which is up two floors is not good enough as it's along way to go if your disabled. I would go back as a non disabled person but if you are or low on energy or maybe older I wouldn't.

Everything well prepared and fresh

Great food fast friendly service little expensive for a cafe but worth it as a treat very clean and will return again soon .

Good food at good price. lovely friendly staff.

Excellent, staff lovely, food delicious, clean and will be going back again,

First visit.Welcomed quickly by friendly efficient staff.Light airy dining room,tables well spaced. Our drinks arrived quickly,slight delay on the sandwiches we ordered, but when they arrived we could see that they were freshly made, well presented,the salad and coleslaw were really good. We can understand why the small delay in service - the restaurant was packed!!!! A very good experience and will go again.

Excellent food. V good sized portions. Nicely presented. Toilets clean. Friendly staff. Had to wait quite a long time for food which was during a busy lunchtime period.Drinks served to table straight away on placing order.

Clean, friendly cafe with large selection of meals.

Fab food and very reasonably priced
