Ravenous in Preston

I had a nice breakfast here and was welcomed in a friendly manner by the owner. Maybe the prices they had to charge is what it costs nowadays, but it seemed expensive to me..

I regularly visit this incredible little independent cafe, as I’m coffee drinker who appreciates quality. That should be reason enough, but the quality of the breakfast items are a cut above - the bacon, the poached eggs, the bread / toast - and particularly the sausages - just better than anywhere else I can think of. The staff - particularly the owner Louise - make you feel welcome and relaxed. Very friendly. When it comes to Preston, there really is nowhere I can recommend higher.

Nice place, nice friendly staff, food was ok but very expensive, we ordered black pudding as extra for £1 it came sliced so thinly sliced it was a joke !!! Black pudding isnt expensive to buy so come on dont sliced it into thinner pieces to make it go further. It cost us £28 for 2 full english with extra toast and 2 lattes !! Ive never paid that much EVER for 2 full english brekkies so no i wont be returning unfortunately :(

Visited today, best breakfast I've had in a long time, butchers sausages, proper bacon, chunky toast, great coffee, I will be back very soon for the homemade blueberry scones.

I have been visiting this gem of a cafe for 15 years. Superb food, service and staff. Always a warm welcome. Louise will mix and match anything on the menu. There is also a great choice for Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten free etc.

This was in breakfast i had, nearly broke my tooth been in the past to sit in lovely breakfast aswell, but takeaway service was awful, overcooked and way over priced for the portion size, wasn't going to post but with no offer of a refund and terrible attitude as I can see you guy's love to reply to honest feedback any issues i can nip in and discuss it further.

Loved this little gem of a place ! Very cosy inside, great choice of food and lovely staff ! Not to mention delicious looking home made cakes !!! My friend and I both got a jacket potato which was baked lovely (not microwaved) and a pot if tea, it was my first time i had visited here and i will certainly be returning again because its a lovely place and i have got to try those delicious looking cakes !!!

Could not fault the food which was soup and a sandwich but an observation which was on 1st impressions it could just do with a flick around with a damp cloth on the cladding shelfing with adverts on around the bottom as it is very dusty. Minor issue which is easily sorted out but had to be written. Sorry but would come back for sure

Decided to go in after seeing that the cafe next door was closed. Lovely food and drink and very friendly and efficient staff. I had Sausage on Toast with HP sauce. Really delicious. The only thing was that the toast was a little bit thick but that is personal preference. The small breakfast looked and tasted good according to my partner. Would certainly go again.

Nipped in for a coffee and a cake whilst shopping in Preston. Proper homemade cakes and very polite / chatty staff. Great little find and handy tucked away down a side street off the main drag. Will definitely call again next time we're shopping in Preston.

Having tried a few places in my new home of Preston, I settled on Ravenous for a cooked breakfast on Saturday mornings. Great food, a friendly owner and a chance to chat about my working week.

Popped in after a recommendation from a friend for a takeaway jacket potato- it was excellent and the so went back the following morning for breakfast - 2 meat and 1 veggie full english and poached eggs on smashed avocado. service was brilliant on both occasions and really good quality food, not too expensive either. will definitely return!

I recommend the tea and cakes after a full English both meat and vegan. You cannot go wrong. Staff are friendly and locally minded which makes it a pleasure to go in

We popped in on a very wet morning and received a really warm welcome. We indulged in a huge cup of hot chocolate (not too sweet) and freshly-made fruit scone, and a cup of lovely coffee and two hot crumpets. All of excellent quality and reasonably priced. Will definitely return to try the interesting sounding lunches when next in Preston.

Not nknowing where to eat, we stumbled across this friendly little haven We were in a rush, but the cheery staff took that on board. It was a simple breakfast, but we'll prepared and set us up for a good day.

Called in after reading reviews on TripAdvisor. We were not disappointed. We entered and were shown to our table. Copies of the menu were on the table. I chose the Eggs Royale which is poached eggs with smoked salmon on a muffin covered with hollandaise sauce. My partner opted for poached eggs on toast. They were presented nicely and the coffee was their own brand which was excellent. The owner and staff were very friendly. Although we said we would return the next day we could not make it as we had to go Halifax so we skipped breakfast. If we were ever in Preston again we would eat here.

I’m been coming here for 15 years. Lovely food and decent staff. It’s a little bit cramped, but they make the best use of the space.

This is a lovely little place. All the staff are so friendly. The food is amazing. It shows how good it is when you see the same people going every week. Look forward to my breakfast on a Saturday morning.

just saw their sign on the corner of Cannon Street and decided to get a bite to eat. Tiny homely little place. The selections were amazing - all home made, We had a "special" sausage, stuffing and cranberry sandwhich - choice then of different breads, Chose granary. What a presentation - salad - little pot of coleslaw, little pot of petzels - the bread was really thick and tasty. LOADS of filling, The whole thnig was £4.95. We both had the same, We wished we had shared one and had room left for a sweet because the offerings looked gorgeous - but no room left for any! definitely go next time in Preston, Give it a try folks,

We found Ravenous through Trip Advisor and ventured off the beaten track to find it. The outside gives nothing away but when you walk in you find a lovely little cafe serving delicious hearty meals. The service is wonderful and the atmosphere is warm and lovely. Well worth seeking out.

This was a lovely little find. A really great selection of cakes and food. They do a really good strong coffee, none of this watered down nonsense. The staff that work there are so friendly. I would definitely recommend this place for a coffee and a cake!

Had a short visit to Preston. Saw this place and as it was quite busy decided that was a good sign. Very friendly lady served us. Had an egg barm and a milkshake. Very nice. Would recommend

Great service, full size portions, piping hot food, great selection, easy access just off Fishergate on Cannon Street. Reasonably price food. Good selection of meals. Next time we are back in Preston will defo return.

Stopped here for a spot of lunch during a Saturday visit to town. As soon as we walked in we were made to feel extremely welcome. We both ordered the full English breakfast and after a very short wait we were presented with a massive plate full of delicious looking hot food complete with a side order of thick cut toast. After struggling to finish what can only be described as a quality full English breakfast with high quality produce we paid a very reasonable price. I can definitely say we will be visiting again and anyone who visits will not leave ravenous

This is a really cosy nice cafe in the centre of Preston. I visited as a vegan with my non-veg friend and there was plenty on the menu for both of us. They seem very clued up on vegan food and have a great amount of options. Including a brilliant vegan breakfast. They also offer vegan cheese for toasties. A lot of the menu is vegetarian. A service with a smile in a great little clean cafe.

I’ve been going to Ravenous for over 10 years and I’ve never had a bad experience there, ever. You never go away hungry as there’s so much to tempt you and the portions are generous. Caters to all dietary needs including vegan and a warm welcoming atmosphere. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Had my first breakfast here for a long time, the food was excellent with plenty of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options! Excellent friendly atmosphere and a welcoming environment, I will certainly be coming back, sooner rather than later! 😋😁

Nice well appointed cafe in the centre of town, visited for Breakfast with 2 friends, great choice, quick service and great food. Defo recommend

Can't praise this place enough. It's a small, very friendly, side street cafe - not a greasy spoon. Found here is wholesome home cooked food with a smile. Decent prices too. A nice place to relax (in a couple of leather armchairs) and gossip.

The cafe was recommended by a friend, staff were lovely, breakfast was delicious, and all reasonably priced. Will definitely go again to try a cake!

We've been visiting this little gem for awhile now. All the staff are so friendly and polite. The food is fresh & made to order. They serve the best coffee. Although I have not yet tried any of the homemade cakes they look delicious. Would highly recommend this lovely little place.

Visited this cafe numerous times and I’ve always been impressed with the quality of food and the friendly service, We visit as a family and there is something for everyone and Louise always makes my 4 year old feel like he’s the most important little man in the world! The cafe is always warm and comfortable and the prices are great.

Lovely independent little café offering a range of homemade cakes, lovely coffees and fresh food. A hidden gem, had a loverly lunch here and the cakes are to die for!

If you are tired after Christmas shopping then this is the place to come. Better than any chain for a fantastic brew. Always great specials and my daughter swears by the spuds. Thank you Louise and team for creating a slice of peace in a busy season. Xx.

We regularly visit this amazing cafe. The staff are always friendly and the food is delicious! Can highly recommend this lovely cafe.

Been here on quite a few occasions, but had to mention the delicious cakes. There have been a couple I had recently but the dairy milk oreo cake was Fabulous, home made so even better in my opinion. Always had friendly service and a good choice of meals for whenever you stop by, be it breakfast, lunch or for a afternoon snack.

This place is a little gem! The owner makes the most amazing cakes and pastries, they're the best I've seen in a café without exception. And there are so many things to choose from that one visit isn't enough.

The best tasting hot chocolate ever in a very large cup . As a chocaholic I love hot chocolate and am often disappointed but not here. The menu offers a wide choice and is excellent vale for freshly cooked food. The scrambled eggs on toast with smoked salmon on top is excellent.Cannot wait to return.

Friendly and helpful staff. Eggs benedict were very good and we'll executed. Latte was médiocre but palatable. Don't expet single origin or hipster brew here but worth the visit nonetheless.

Found this small cafe off the main road in Preston, service was very good and food was brilliant, freshly made sandwiches and two large pots of tea

Me and my partner go here everytime we visit preston, we wouldn't eat anywhere else the food is amazing, the staff are always polite and friendly. I can't recommend this cafe enough.

We’d already been here 10-15 times and I believe is the best place to have “brunch” in Preston.

Despite taking over and borrowing chairs from a neighbouring cafe. We had a lovely vegan breakfast at Ravenous. Staff were helpful, accommodating and able to deal with the mass of vegan runners who descended on the cafe. Cannon Street is turning into a little vegan eating area of Preston.

Awesome coffee shop that does best breakfast in town as well as bakes and light meals. A warm homely environment with Louise the owner who couldn't make you more welcome and a part of the family....just had the best date and walnut scone...to die for! Highly recommend this gem in Cannon Street

Situated down a quiet street with a few outside tables, in a lovely sunny spot until late afternoon. The Coffee was ok and the fruit scone on this occasion was underwhelming, scone warmed which made it tast a little doughy. Waitress pleasant and accommodating. People on the table next ordered sandwiches and goatee which looked nice enough. Worth trying if you prefer to support independent cafes.

The breakfast is amazing! Its so difficult to find a place that does good vegetarian sausages and all the food is fresh. The place is very clean and the owner/chef is friendly. A great variety on the menu throughout the day.. you’d be mad to miss it!!!

We can’t rate this place highly enough. One of my friends recommended it for me and we went there .The food was delicious and generous portion , it’s prepared freshly and cooked perfectly . My brother tried the hot chocolate it was amazing! In total the breakfast was wonderful. Also the service was very nice.Thanks for the lovely staff,who aim to please .. highly recommend a visit you will not be disappointed .

Not cheap, breakfast just ok. At 7 quid hardly free coffee. But nice and cosy, lovely owner. Tables also a bit small.

What a fantastic find, we needed somewhere to stop to feed the baby and saw a sign for this place. What a lovely little cafe off the beaten track, towns need these sort of places, why go to Costa and pay silly prices when you can go to local places and keep them going, next time we will eat there

We are frequent breakfast visitors to Ravenous and have never been disappointed. My other half is vegan so the vegan breakfast is wonderful for him and really filling; and the toast is cut doorstep so he never leaves hungry! Alas I am a meat eater and the bacon is always cooked to perfection and nice and crispy! The staff are always lovely and cheerful too, so that’s always a bonus

Called in for first time today and what a lovely place. Friendly staff and great food enjoyed by both of us. Louise makes everyone so welcome. Only regret is that I was too full to try the crumble 👍

Myself and six year old son love it here. He is a creature of habit and always has sausage barm, crisps and apple juice(no specific kids meals). I usually have a panini, served with crisps, coleslaw and salad garnish or one of the specials. Cash only. We go once a month but beware can be busy and very small.

Stumbled upon this this quaint place, So glad I I did. Lovely staff, comforting menu choice with food to match. Came away wanting to come back with friends for more

i went there for breakfast and i had the bigger smoothie i never see only for 3pound or even less.

Fantastic staff and food!!! The most amazing hot chocolate!!!! Try it out - you won't be disappointed!

Looking for somewhere to eat on a Saturday lucntime we saw a billboard on a street corner advertising Ravenous so we decided to give it a try and we weren't disappointed!

Este es uno de mis lugares favoritos para visitar con mi hijo de 5 años. Aunque no específica del menú de niños mi niño le gustan los automóviles de la salchicha barm, y jugo de manzana. Las ofertas cambian todos los días y siempre muy apetecible. Gran personal. Niños muy pequeños, así que tienen la suerte de comentarios sarcásticos si cabe en - no recomendado si más de 4 personas y no ir después de compras. Programa de fidelización ofrecido. Me encanta cómo sirve comida y té fabuloso!

Escogimos este pequeño café de una de las principales calles comerciales, ya que tenía un letrero en la ventana diciendo que era vegetariano amable y luchando por encontrar un lugar para un almuerzo ligero que mi hija podía comer. El personal era muy acogedor y amable. Pasamos el tiempo hablando de la ciudad donde la universidad y como eran haciendo una visita al campus que tarde.

Yo he estado muchas veces, pero finalmente hambrientos de orientaciã³n a dar mi crítica, y tengo cosas positivas que decir sobre este lugar. El servicio es estupendo, la comida es excelente, el personal es super amable y es un agradable ambiente acogedor para que disfrute de sus comidas de la tarde mañana o. Altamente recomendado. Además el desayuno vegetariano es impresionante para cualquiera que está en una dieta vegetal. Tengo bastante a menudo. Que Dios los bendiga. . .

Sábado por la mañana y desayuno. regalo Estábamos bastante temprano 8. 30 ish. Obras fuera tan estrecha senda para negociar. De todos modos dos pequeñas Emglish completo con té y tostadas ordenados.

Realmente un lugar muy agradable para el desayuno/almuerzo. El personal siempre impecable y la comida cocinada a la perfección.

Back in England for christmas, shopping in Preston, where to go for a relaxing Lunch or snack? Simple, pop into Ravenous on cannon street, look for an "A" board on Fishergate. Always a delight to return, home made Carrot cake and a lovely cuppa. Give it a try, its just so refreshingly good food. See you next trip, thanks again.

I love this little cosy coffee place! Everytime I come over from Norway I drop by, almost daily! Wonderful coffee and food! And the best christmas truffles I've ever tasted ;)

Does the best hot chocolate around!!!! Excellent service and always a friendly atmosphere. You will not be disappointed!

Great food, awesome service. We order from here most days. Don't have a bad word to say! Thanks guys, see you next time!

We decided to pop into Ravenous for breakfast before shopping. We waited 25 minutes for a full English breakfast and a toasted teacake which is a bit longer than I would have liked but they were full so it's understandable. When the food came the portion sizes were very generous and the sausage and bacon was good quality so we would go again.

Louise is always so friendly and welcoming!The homemade soups are excellent,The Mushroom , and Leek and potato are my favourites there.Louise also makes the BEST eggs florentine , and the bacon and mushroom baton I had the other day was packed so full I had to cut it in half!Coffee is delicious and nothing is too much trouble ! It is spotlessly clean and I know Louise works tirelessly to make sure all her customers enjoy their experience there.You can sit outside if weather permits which is a change from sitting in somewhere to enjoy a brew xx Will defo be back ;-)

Really cosy little cafe on a side street off the main shopping street. Vegetarian options available. Food was good, although salad had the British blight of tasteless tomatoes and iceberg lettuce. (Just back from a holiday in France and haven't yet got used to what passes for tomatoes in Britain.) I wish I could go for breakfast and have eggs Florentine - how often do you see that on a menu? I loved how they advertised 'breastfeeding welcome' and took donations for food for the homeless locally. A cafe with a heart. Deservedly popular.

I enjoyed a lovely lunch at Ravenous Cafe In Cannon St Preston. Friendly staff, great food with lots of choice at very reasonable prices! Felt comfortable and relaxed dining on my own. Thankyou ladies xx

Great little cafe, very friendly staff, lovely home cooked food, really well priced too, well worth a visit

Lovely cafe, very friendly staff. Excellent food. The biggest hot chocolate ive ever witnessed! Good prices. Would most definitely return.

Another great place in Preston for coeliac sufferers, plenty of choices including cakesLouise understands about cross contamination so I felt at ease eating there and will go back as the prices are very good. Highly recommend

Popped in here for coffee several times. The Manager is very friendly and the coffee is good, although I have never eaten here. The café is in the town centre - so is handy for a break from shopping. They also have a loyalty card, granting you a free drink when you have collected your stamps.

Good quality ingredients, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Nice cosy cafe. Would definitely be back to try the cakes.

High quality food that really hits the spot! Greeted by friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere it's really not one to be missed.

The best cafe to go to when you're feeling rather 'Ravenous'!! With a great selection of food on the menu and breakfast served all day, quick service and friendly staff, this little jewel is definitely one of the best cafes in Preston.

What a little gem tucked down one of the streets just off the main shopping street. At work we always like to try different places for our lunch and thanks to TripAdvisor we found Ravenous. They catered for a group of 4 awkward customers on various diets without a grumble and was ready on arrival. The 3 salads we ordered were the best we have had from the area and even better that they are tailor made, I had a baguette (having fallen off the diet wagon) and the bread was fresh and warm and the ham, cream cheese and roasted pepper filling was incredible!!! Cannot recommend enough and we will definatley be making Ravenous a regular office trip!! Thank you so much from Office Angels, Preston xx

Just got a take our lunch and went for the salad. Was fantastic, massive portions and really fast. We will definitely be back :)

Fantastic coffee, much better than costa and friendly quick service. Sat outside enjoying the sun. Will certainly go again and eat there next time as the food look appetising.

It was the best breakfast I have ever tasted the staff was nice and well mannered I would recommend them to my friends

Popped in for afternoon tea and when we read the menu we were tempted and thank god we were - Delicious quality ingredients on a very tasty baguette - wish we had found earlier as the breakfast sounds even more tempting. Definitely returning on our next trip to Preston - this café is not to be missed!

Popped in on Saturday while out shopping. The menu was good and there was an extensive selection of hot and cold drinks. I ordered the mozzarella and pesto baguette which came with a salad and crisps. The bread used was lovely and fresh and the filling generous. My husband had the all day breakfast which he also enjoyed. I would recommend

Ravenous is a small, friendly place which has an extensive menu of all the usual kinds of cafe food, and the owner is friendly and more than willing to adapt to your needs. I went in after reading a review on HappyCow about the vegan brunch. It doesn't appear on the menu but the owner talked me through all the options, so I got the large version which offers 2 of everything (sausages, doorstep-sized malted bread toast, hash browns, tomatoes, and large portions of beans and mushrooms), as opposed to the small which is literally half the size. They also do soya milk and a cracking cup of tea, the coffee is pretty nice too.I'll definitely visit again, although it's the kind of place I would have walked past before - you never would have known that you can get a decent vegan fry up.

First lunchtime visit as 'usual place' -the small but perfectly formed Deli-licious next door - was very full. Light and airy atmosphere, pleasant helpful staff, varied 'basic' menu. Reasonably priced. Tried the Carrot and Corriander soup - the extra 'r' for 'rally tasty' presumably, as it was.

Ravenous is, from my point of view, the best cafe in Preston. The reasons for this are as follows:A great attention to detail has been paid here, from the moment you walk through the entrance until the time you leave after having your food or drink. First off, you are greeted with a really genuine warm smile and welcome by either of the waitresses - really refreshing to see nowadays. Once you've sat down at a suitable table and decided what you want from the extensive menu, the same waitress will take your order with the same smile. There are plenty of magazines by the cafe window to browse through while waiting for your food to arrive. I chose on this occasion (23/4/16) to wait as I was busy chatting to a good friend of mine who I had not seen for a fair while. If you need to use the (slightly) cramped bathroom, look on the walls either side of you if you're sat on or standing in front of the 'throne' - you'll find something to help pass the time. There is something for the men and for the ladies (you'll see what I mean). I liked this attention to detail - adds a bit of character to the place! To eat and drink I had a decaf cappuccino (tasted quite bitter on its own - I made sure to add some sweetener to counteract this) and porridge with sliced apple, honey and yogurt. The coffee was great and the porridge delicious. The only possible criticism I have of Ravenous is that they had one or two spelling mistakes on the menu.All said and done, it is a very good place to have coffee, meet up with friends or have some good honest food while out shopping in Preston town centre.Well done Ravenous!

A small friendly cafe serving unfussy and unpretentious home made food. We've been enjoying a late breakfast here for several years and I don't believe we have ever had reason to complain about the food or drinks served. Recommended

This is a nice friendly little cafe with good homemade food and quality coffee. The homemade soups are very good and there is a good selection of well made sandwiches. Good cooked breakfast and a decent eggs benedict. A bit cramped and short of tables because it is rightly popular.

Re visited ravenous after a 2 year hiatus and returned to find nothing had changed. Still cramped and lacking an atmosphere. Ordered a hot chocolate which took an age to arrive, due to training. I was pleased when presented with the drink as it was in a fishbowl and looked delicious. Unfortunately it had no likeness to the hot sweet drink we all love. Even the young girl on the table next to me left hers and only consumed the marshmallows.I will be heading back to Debenhams cafe in future.

Great menu eg English breakfast, porridge, crumpets, paninis, jacket potatoes etc. Lovely staff. Cosy setting. Hope to visit again.

What a lovely café . Very lovely smiley staff brightened my day . The food was lovely and hot , as soon as we had sat down we were welcomed and asked what drinks we wanted . Very reasonably priced and would definitely eat here again .

Simply look for an "A" board advertising "Ravenous" Your on Fishergate, and you have just come out of top shop. Look across the road and that's Cannon street, about 20 yards down on your left an antiques shop, a sandwich shop then Ravenous cafe, Yum yum, you have made it, Not a big place but big on food, modern clean and comfortable. On the menu something for everyone, a little a lot, you may have to wait a minute as they actually cook things, delicious and realy good value, We have eaten all over the world, "Ravenous" we will be coming back, thankyou.....

Love this place. Go here whenever I'm free. Consistently good, honest, fresh food. Service with a smile and fairly priced. What more could you want? See you soon!

I found this place by accident whilst shopping, I saw their sign and thought that sounds good.Best sausage butties ever :) couldn't ask for better staff, they are very friendly and welcoming, I will definitely be returning for more sausage butties!! Best decision I ever made walking down Cannon street xxxx

What a wonderful little gem. This really is a quality establishment serving only the finest food within a homely environment. Service is always with a smile. When you comw to Preston give it a try. I guarantee you wont be dissappointed.

Sergio who was just back from a long haul via Manchester enjoyed a delightful English breakfast together before we headed off to his place.I a light Eggs Benedict while he tucked into a Full English with all the trimmings

Cracking little coffee shop and we have recently started using for Breakfast butty take-outs and let me tell you they do the best Sausage & Egg barms that I have tasted and very friendly staff / owner. Keep up the good work.

little café off main street in Preston. Great freshly cooked food, very good choice served by extremely friendly staff , just a great great place and well worth a visit.

There is no better cafe in Preston! The food is AMAZING and so are the staff. Food is cooked to order and delivered in epic proportions. The atmosphere is great, which makes it a great place to chat and drink coffee. Faultless!!

What a lovely find. Just off main high street. Look for the A-board. Very friendly staff and customers. Full English breakfast was delicious and had decaf tea available. Love the fact the crockery is all different colours and sizes. Milk jugs in cow shapes-fab. Clean, neat and tidy small toilet and cloakroom available with hand wash, hand cream and other toiletries available. Take cash, but there's a machine at the top of the road and they even saved my choice of table whilst I went after I'd ordered. Amazing choice if cakes too. Just too full to try one!!! Highly recommended!

Had breakfast here whilst in town. We had one English breakfast and one eggs Benedict. Both were delicious and good value for money. Staff friendly and service good. We will definitely return and would recommend this pleasant little cafe.
