The Drop Off Cafe in Rossendale

Great coffee and gorgeous Sourdough toast with scrambled egg and haloumi.... lovely atmosphere and very attentive staff.

Fantastic place! Strongly recommended!

Nice food, options are slightly limited but everything is good quality and feels home made. Nice atmosphere, attracts dog walkers, cyclists, young families and old couples so everyone is welcome.

Love it here, was working in the area and came in for a few hours whenever I got chance, great food, atmosphere, lovely dog, etc.

Absolutely fabulous building and space to play music 🎶.

Love this place such delicious food

Beautiful cafe with amazing food. Well worth stopping by.

This is one of my favourite cafes when out cycling. Very dog friendly, and if you don't have your own dog, you can borrow one of theirs.

Love this quirky bar. Food and service both excellent. Lovely outside area and also has a function room

The atmosphere, the staff, service, are absolutely amazing. Strongly recommend

Amazing community hub. Delicious food and drinks too

Waiter was quite abrupt with me when asking me to 'move your dog' when he was taking our order - asked everyone their order - missed me out and said I had ordered when I hadn't even spoken - he was a bit offish / almost argumentative with me and a few of my friends that we was with me - don't know why as I hadn't spoken or placed an order - bizarre -he repeated the order back to us incorrectly - we waited and waited for our food - waiter brought our forks and beverages and asked if we wanted any sauces - we thought the food was coming- probably another 10 minutes passed then 6 lots of food came for the party of 7 - 7th one came once everyone else had eaten. 3 of us ordered the full English but there was no black pudding - unsure if it was swapped for an additional sausage as no explanation given. Egg overdone - bacon was cremated, Hash brown soggy - sausages were delicious sour dough lovely- came with a small pot of beans and a half a cooked tomato - would have expected a little more for £12 - 2 of our party ordered a dab without cheese - but came with. When we paid - the dab that came out late was knocked off the bill which was good but service was poor - we travel past here twice a week at least - and would in future drive to the farm shop cafe 5 mins down the road rather than go here again.

Cafe at the bottom of Cragg Vale. Do yourself and legs a favour, stop here for an espresso + fruit & nut treat. You will not be disappointed!

We had our after-wedding party here in the grand hall above the cafe, and it was amazing. We chose this hall for its rustic looks and charm, and it was just what we were looking for. Moira and Bryn, the owners, were fantastic in looking after our needs. The food they made for us (5-finger buffet) was of high quality and very tasty. The cakes were also absolutely delicious. Nothing was left over, and our guests kept commenting on the fantastic venue and food. Everything couldn’t have been any better. It is a beautiful location with lovely service and people.

Quaint, cosy place, delicious coffee and cakes and friendly service. Look forward to visiting again soon.

What a fabulous place, food, service. You have to try the home made cake

Lovely place and very nice staff. Only draw back is it isn't good for people with mobility issues. Cobbles in the courtyard and stairs to payment area and I'm not too sure where the toilets are but assume they are up the stairs!

Absolutely love this place. Its vibrant, lively, very welcoming. Lots of things happening.

What a gem. Great food/coffee service with a friendly smile. Good all round vibe 👍🏻s up from me.

We only popped in for some drinks really, seemed a great choice but was really surprised and disappointed by the service. The guy said he would get to us but never did, someone else ended up serving us after him saying il be with you 3 times and proceeding to do other things. It really seemed like a serve yourself situation with stuff we saw heard to be honest. Not too much to report on but did leave earlier than planned as a man (maybe the owner) brought his 2 collies outside and then they were let off lead and left to their own devices. Having my dog with me that gets unsettled by dogs approaching and roaming around we quickly left. They were also at people's tables so don't know how that would go down if you were scared or didn't like dogs but they seemed to not cause too much bother but still unfortunately it would put me off. Not much thought for customers unfortunately. Shame.

Not called in for a while. The food was so good we decided to share our plates The service excellent checked to see if we were happy with the food and had everything we needed.Nice to hear regulars welcomed by name.The Drop off has really gone from strength to strength. A great stop off for dogwalkers. A TOP RATED FAMILY BUSINESS.IF YOU HAVE TIME GLANCE THROUGH THE COLOURFUL BOOK RECORDING HOW THEDROP OFF GREW TO BE A VIBRANT PART OF THE COMMUNITY.CERTAINLY DROPPING IN MORE OFTEN.

Very impressed. Has an excellent upstairs for music etc. too.

Great cafe and posh nosh with welcoming staff and owner....very popular and you can see why 👍🏻

Had a lovely lunch at the Drop off cafe today. It was my first visit and I was well impressed. It's such a quirky place with a lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious. I'll definitely be back.

Lovely cafe in old mill, with original wood floor and stone walls, beautifully decorated. We had a cheese & pickle toastie and an avocado on sourdough, then shared a piece of cake. All lovely.

Food is very nice, atmosphere was good, staff are brilliant. Would visit again.

Fantastic little place. Definitely recommend 👌

brilliant place, with great staff.

A great place to stop off and have some fantastic food ...a little gem !!

Wonderful place, staff wonderful and the drinks delicious, would recommend this place, didn't eat this time, but plenty were eating and the food looked scrumptious, will definitely revisit.

Cutest cafe Great size portion, the coffee was lovely aswell. Flapjack was so nice aswell. Food was delicious Staff were so lovely Dogs are allowed

Definitely the best Beans and Egg on toast, great find.

Food, fantastic. Loved the homemade bbq sauce! One of the very few places where the price matches the quality.

Fabulous little cafe.. food amazing, service fabulous, staff super friendly and polite..... a great place that feels like home..

Love the spicy Negroni...... well done 👏 ✔️

Great place fantastic food a friendly service. highly recommended. Also have some good turns on in an evening!

Love the food Love the people Love the atmosphere Love the Drop Off

Great selection of food and beverages, with homemade food and a variety of food for all taste. Dogs are welcome on the bottom area of the venue and have very welcoming staff and owners. The outdoor seating area has a canopy and is open until 7pm most nights. There is an upstairs function room which has live music, edenfield markets and many more events that take place including coworking spaces for people who work from home/mobile working. Would highly recommend this little gem in Edenfield to anyone with children, solo or coming to grab a coffee or bite to eat.

Great little cafe, very friendly, lovely atmosphere and really nice food/coffee.

Had a lovely toasted sandwich and a side order of chips It was cold outside so I had hot apple punch which was very tasty

Great brunch. Friendly team too

Fantastic service every time - thank you!

Great place, lovely stop off for breakfast after a tough MTB ride up to Whittle Pike.

I visited for the bonfire bottomless brunch. Food was really tasty and there were a lot of cocktails to choose from, especially for a bottomless brunch. The staff are all really friendly and there’s a really nice chilled atmosphere.

Only went in for a pint or two. But have eaten here before. Nice atmosphere.

A wonderful bacon sandwich and coffee was enjoyed today after a particularly damp walk ..... Thanks to Bryn and the team...will be there again

Bikes bikes bikes...... Oh and a great menu along with fantastic staff! If your a cyclist this is a great stop off. If your not... stop off anyway and enjoy a very nice stop off with a beautiful community vibe

Hidden gem in Edenfield. Definitely recommended for great food, great atmosphere and great service.

Stopped by here this morning as we were staying in the area. Lovely little breakfast spot. The food was delicious, the staff very friendly and the service was top notch. Highly recommend

Called today after a longish walk over from Newchurch. I had the amazing salt & pepper chips, with a portion of the home style beans on top. Gorgeous! My partner opted for a ciabatta ham, chorizo and egg butty. What a disappointment. The ham was really thin and tasteless and the ciabatta was a small square one like Tesco sell in packs of four. There were some plain crisps thrown on the side of the half empty plate. No other garnish. Will come again but will give that butty a miss!

Great food and service, lovely character and location - would definitely recommend!

Best Chip butty in East Lancashire, serve espressos the Italian way and at an Italian price!

Food was very poor, had the breakfast. Burn to a crisp bacon (about half a rasher) under cooked sausages, definitely not an £11 breakfast, unfortunately won’t return. But a nice place and staff are attentive

It was alright, 45 minute wait for cheese toastie and a chicken butty with side chips coming out 10 minutes beforehand and eaten before the toasties even came out.

Still great, plenty of atmosphere. Great for bike riders and dog walkers

Visited on a sunny Thursday afternoon for the first time where we were able to sit outside. It was very busy and no wonder because everything about it was excellent from start to finish. Food was excellent, drinks reasonable and service exceptional. Would highly recommend a visit and will definitely be returning!

Around 35-40 min wait for 2 portions of chips panini and chicken. Food was good though, just not worth the wait

A must visit when in the area. The cafe is well located with parking on the road if required. Very accommodating for bikes as you would expect with the name. The menu has lots of choice, covering plenty of dietary requirements and is well priced for the quality of food. All meals were really tasty, the cakes were also delicious. The highlight here are the staff, who are all really friendly and very helpful, particularly in providing recommendations for local walks and cycling routes too. The resident border collies are also wonderful members of the team! A place which we will definitely return to.

Lovely comfortable cafe + ,good food,good prices and helpful and friendly staff ,will be back.

Popped in for lunch - great service, greats drinks and great food.

Lovely!! Unique Lancashire charm 👏🏼 You’ve done a great job 👍🏼

Lovely friendly staff and excellent service. Food and drinks top class. Called on our way to Settle for a week's holiday and went out of our way to call on the way back.

I do love this little Place... quirky ... But The Owner is a bit Grumpy ...and has more time for the cyclists... than other Punters..so you feel a bit left out... The staff are great though &the food is lovely... We sat outside & we were deciding on what to order & the owner came over and was asked if we were going to order ...a bit abruptly as if we were just parking our Bums for a rest...I assured him we were then he marched off to the Cyclists and engaged a polite conversation with them... but Hey ho... I'm not prepared to buy a bike to be made welcome... 😫

We love The Drop Off. It was our first time here for breakfast and it was healthy and delicious with a great smoothie. The food is consistently good and the salt and pepper chips here are the best I've ever had.

Love Love love. The venue is great the staff are lovely and the food is amazing. My friends and family go here regularly and never disappointed

Fantastic Value for money and great food!!

I’ve been going regularly to this cafe for years, but recently the service, menu and general atmosphere has improved so much, I always feel so welcome, like a really valued customer. All the staff know my name and use it, which after a hard day at work makes you feel so welcome. I eat out a lot for work, and go to various social events but I just love to walk up to this cafe, take my dog sometimes, or call in later in the day and at weekends for a pint or two when there is more of a wine bar vibe. I’ve tried the Tapas last weekend which was lovely, but the Not a Big Mac Burger is my favourite!!!

We really enjoyed our lunch. Very nice cafe.

Gr8 peleton bfast & flat white v busy worth the wait

Top notch food. Great service. Cyclist friendly. Try the house beans! 27th March 2022 update.: They obviously under estimated the mothers day trade today. We waited 1hour 30mins for a hot sandwich! Nice when it came but too long a delay, stars dropped I'm afraid. 24th March 2023 back again, as always the food is great, service and staff excellent , my only slight negative is the time to get the food but if you have the time worth the visit.

Class place allways go back never let's you down

Great place with top notch food friendly staff and great vibe...

Neat and tidy place with good pleasant service and great coffee, seating available outside. Apparently popular with cyclists. Would have given 5 stars rather than 3 but it's a political sort of place when we visited. Free speech, and do your own thing great 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻 but we came in just to relax

Great food (especially the salt and pepper chips), great coffee and cakes, great breakfasts, great events.

Very stylish & excellent food. Fantastic value for money.

Was a lovely place and tucked away off the main road, great place and food, it's also a stop in for cyclists

Great food, service and atmosphere 👌😊

Fantastic..Best breakfast I've had in ages and the service was excellent

Great place to meet friends and relax

Great venue for parties and events

Only staying for a few nights locally but will be back. Wonderful mix of gorgeous patio, brilliant drinks and food and a smiley crowd of couples, families with kids and some people just having a drink alone. Perfect.

Great spot for a few chilled drinks. Shame the neighbours don't agree, as it's one of the most community sprited places you could find. Class act, go and support places like this, they are invaluable for all. Bravo.

A lovely little café I discovered on my walk from Rawtenstall to Bury. Though I only stopped for a coffee, they had oat milk and catered for a vegan diet. A stop off at the drop off might become a regular habit of mine.

Delightful, lovely cafe, tight varied menu, perfect portions of authentic delicious food. Staff are friendly, sweet and professional. Cyclists very welcome. Rustic chic interior, pleasant open design for the beer garden.

Great staff. Good food & coffee

Little gem of a place serving eats and drinks.

Always worth popping into for a coffee whilst out riding.

Absolutely love this place, the food made in house is absolutely delicious..a real joy to visit. A really great place to chill. So much going on too it’s a fantastic community vibe. I’ll definately be a regular here.

Wonderful food. Great friendly staff. Will be visiting again soon.

Awesome food! Friendly warm setting

Great place took the dogs after a long walk sat on patio but can go inside as well. Food really fresh tasty service attentive staff. Nice atmosphere average prices and highly recommended. Will definitely visit again. Also lots on during week from free film nights, music, Gin tasters and Yoga classes upstairs

Visited today on our club ride from Halifax. As a cycle themed cafe owner myself I am always interested in similar places….. Great service, great staff and the food & coffee was lovely. Highly recommended. Great cycle features as well. Keep up the good work guys.

This is a great place to visit. The decor and atmosphere is friendly and welcoming and so are the staff. Great food great coffee

Good food, nice relaxed atmosphere.

Just been for a quick lunch with my wife. I ordered some soup and drink , my wife then ordered a bowl of chips a minute or so later whilst she decided what she wanted. My food arrived, my wife’s food still had not arrived so she went to the counter politely to ask where it was and to say that really all the food should come together. At this point the waitress said it was ordered separately, my wife told them that I had eaten and she was still waiting . She was told to be more patient. Next thing the food arrived delivered by the manager who straight away suggested that she had been rude to his daughter behind the counter ? They are very busy and not to talk to her that way. He told us not to come again ! WOW !!! I thought customer was king ! The manager and his daughter have an attitude problem with customers who dare to question. Warning for anyone visiting here , don’t dare query anything!!! We’ve been here on numerous occasions, never again !

Came to the café just after opening time at 12 today. When we arrived, I asked for a highchair for my toddler and got pointed in the direction of where they were. As we were the only customers, it would have been nice for this to be brought to us. The café slowly got more customers, but by no means was busy. After 50 minutes of patiently waiting; and watching other people's food come - we asked where our order was. It hadn't got to the kitchen. We asked for the chips to be brought out asap so my (by this point) very tired and unwilling toddler could have some. Server came out, with chips; however without an apology for the long wait. Apology was given when main food arrived, accepted this - however would have been nice if original server apologized. Not sure why it wasn't noticed that we'd not been served food whilst cafe was so quiet. Accept accidents happen (i.e ticket machine runs out); but general observation should have picked up the error. No discount offered at til when paying, despite the very long wait. Quite disappointing. Real shame as food and ambience was nice.

Blummin' lovely, Great service, beautiful cafe, gorgeous food, Not cheap, but quality 👌

an evening at the drop off and had the worst pizza ever , said to be open till 8pm and the coffee machine shut down at 7.30 and cleaned . I cannot recommend this for an evening out venue.

Welcoming, friendly, dog friendly and delicious food

Lovely place to visit felt cozy. If we again would be better to get drinks after meal finished the drinks long before the meal arrived Took quite a long time for meals to arrive and some of us didn't get ours until some had finished eating hey did apologise at the time. Having said this I would go again Staff were lovely.
