The Tea Room in Blackburn with Darwen

We had a great breakfast here. Very cheap, value for money and the service was very quick and efficient. We’ll definitely be going back.

Due to Coviviv-19 we are confined to our apaptment - NO PROBLEM - just one phone call, and yes our lunch was delivered piping hot and delicious. The whole team are a a fantastic set who are always welcoming. We have been dining there for a number of years, and that says everything.

I had a taditional English breakfast for a mere fiver. It was well presented, hot and tasted good, I wasn't all that struck on the latte I also ordered, skimmed milk or perhaps the brand of coffee? But certainly wouldn't complain about the food. My son, had an egg tea cake, please note fellow Salfordians they call bread rolls tea cakes around Darwen,without currents too! He didn't moan, so that was a good sign. Clean, pleasant and worth a visit.

Excellent service, busy café, very tasty apple crumble. Plates pie and chips very nice. Nice friendly place for dinner.

Lovely cafe in Darwen. Food alway excellent, always have a large breakfast, good quality eggs and bacon. Gorgeous cup of tea. Service is always great, staff are lovely and helpful. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Wheelchair friendly. Brilliant value for money. Open 7 days a week. Highly recommend. Also do takeaways if you don’t have time to sit in.

Popped into the Tea Shop for a full English, had a huge breakfast, with coffee, toast and orange juice. The food came really quick, was really tasty and cooked to perfection. No grease, no burnt bits and all piping hot. The best surprise was the bill, under £8. There are very places where you can get that kind of value these days. Friendly staff serving too. I will be back when next in the town.

My new local, over the last few months, for many reasons, to mention a few- beautiful, kind and welcoming staff. serving good food for good value. What more do you want from a café? Also love it's retro feel. Best in Darwen in my humble opinion. .

We nipped in for lunch while walking through town and wow what a mistake. The atmosphere was cold, it was really quiet and we felt unwelcome. After deciding we would take food away as it was nice and sunny out, we left and sat on the outdoor table on the street to eat before moving on. That was cut short as the lady from the till had come outside to tell us to clear off, as “if the manager comes down he will ‘go mad’, when you get food to take away you have to take it away!” Although, kindly, she would “let us off this time!” We left so fast I almost left my coat! It’s clear that the management at this cafe have 0 regard for customer service, as we felt unwelcome and as paying customers, we were proven right! AVOID this caf and spend your money in one of the many other places in town that are welcoming to you.

My first visit to Darwen.I walked up to Jubilee Tower, 1200ft or 400m approx, high. It was very windy and on my return, an hour and a half later, I found the "Tea Shop" cafe.I just wanted a simple, straight forward, tasty,hot meal and that is what I got. Another bonus was the friendly staff and the immaculate condition of the cafe, including the toilet (often not the case). Thankyou.

We usually go for our lunch.The food is tasty, well presented, and reasonably priced. The staff are great cheerful and friendly, nothing is to much trouble for them. They will always back any community events.

Visit here regularly for a quick lunch , no fancy frills , but very good quick service and great prices

Good all round tea shop. Serving full meals or snacks and cakes always good. Never had a complaint. Home made soup and a roll is a must.

Went here for a quick lunch to catch up with friends. The cafe is clean and the food good. Service was a bit slow but they were busy.

This is a plain, unpretentious, traditional cafe. The decor is refreshingly simple and a mile away from the plethora of vintage tea rooms that seem to be sprouting up everywhere these days. Don't get me wrong - I enjoy using twee tea rooms when the mood takes me, but most of the time I prefer a good traditional British caff. The menu here is also traditional cafe fare, and in addition to the ubiquitous "all day breakfast", they have a good range of main meals and hot snacks as well sandwiches, cakes etc. Most importantly for this part of the country, they also have the regional staples of assorted pies with peas and gravy! That's what I came in for and it was excellent. Service was friendly and efficient and the prices most reasonable. I'd certainly come again.

Nice lunchtime snack one small breakfast and pie and chips. Quality food in convivial surroundings with an ever friendly staff!

Quick lunchtime brew and scone. Just what was needed to refresh two poor souls. Nice staff, tasty refreshments. Two happy bunnies.

Sue tenía un queso tortilla y conseguí que devoran un Pavo asado el domingo a mediodía. La comida era perfecta, así como el servicio, (es genial ver tantas chicas jóvenes que trabajan duro, pero todavía tienen tiempo para participar en el día de bromas).

Only been here for a takeaway sandwich and a brew but a few times, food always consistent and makes a good brew. Will be my go to butty shop when I am working in the area. And need to go try a sit in breakfast.

Lovely place to meet a friend and enjoy a brew or a snack. Friendly quick service in nice surroundings.

Normalmente tenemos nuestro almuerzo aquí los jueves y domingos.

The Tea Shop is conveniently situated on Darwen's main road.

Todos los años que he vivido en Darwen y yo visitamos aquí por primera vez esta semana. Es mucho más grande por dentro de lo que me esperaba. Bonito y limpio, lo cual siempre es bueno. Un poco anticuada de interior. Como las fotos de otros tiempos que están en el Darwen paredes. La comida estaba bien y tenía un blt mi compañero tenía un gran desayuno. Nada que me voy de nuevo aquí, pero que no sería mi primera elección para desayuno/almuerzo en Darwen. Sólo regresaría si el otro café que vaya también estaba cerrado. En general está bien, pero no lo recomendaría como primera opción.

this is near town .very clean and staff very friendly,a good menu and prices good.chose hot beef sandwich which was lovely

I was looking for a cafe within the area for a quick takeaway breakfast and found this gem. Simple bacon and egg barm, tasted great and was cooked perfectly. Friendly staff and didn't have to wait long to be served or for the food.Will definitely return.

I always come here for breakfast every other sat with my 2 year old son and he loves it! Staff are always nice to my little lad! The food is always nice too!

Been here a few Sunday mornings and the breakfast is simply fantastic. Staff are friendly and the food is fresh and hot, very child friendly which is very helpful when you have children.

Regularly get the full breakfast from here. Does the job perfectly. Decent portions, tastes good and reasonable price too.Happy to recommend anyone to try it. Girls/staff always smiling.. And chatty.

Excellent service and value for money. Food absolutely lovely. Friendly atmosphere. Love how the manager has his friends around a table in the corner. Showing he's always available.

I visited the tea room last month with my mum, husband, son and mums friend. We ordered food when we arrived. My husband and myself ordered while we waited for mum and her friend. My husbands food came but not mine. Mine turned up 20 mins later! It was very nice! Mum came and ordered drinks and a toastie! The toastie never turned up! There are plenty of staff but they were not really efficient. I visited again yesterday with my 2 friends. We had our children with is ranging from 16 months to 22 months. We were not made welcome, we were overcharged for 3 coffees (I mean how difficult can it be to do 3 coffees on a till?!!) the owner was Sat at the back of the shop with his old cronies and was watching is disapprovingly all the time. My son got up and walked up the room And the owner came to me and sAid 'we don't like children walking around the cafe, can you control your child!' How rude! We left! I have never been somewhere where no one cracks a smile!It was a room full of miserable old coffin Dodgers!

a great little café that serves great food, a good choice and always great service...thanks again.Afternoon teas seem to be popular as a few were having these while we were eating.

Been a few times and food has always been good foor and great value - large breakfast, small breakfast replete with tea and toast for £8 - one up on Wetherspoons!

We tend to use it, on a Sunday because it is within comfortable walking distance for my wife. The food is simple, affordable tasty and plentiful. They will even cater for people with small appetites. We usually go in on the occasional Sunday but are made welcome. MEOWE.

Three of us went for lunch the other week, it was really really good. Two of us had a breakfast which hit the spot and the other had plate meat pie with mash and veggies...wow her portion was huge!!! Next time I shall be having the same...value for money and served with a smile..

Called in for lunch with daughter & granddaughter. They always have at least one home made special, yesterday it was thick home made broth with dumplings.Other fare typical cafe fare, baked potatoes, sandwiches,toasties etc. + a really good pot of tea.service is always quick, its clean and the girls are friendly and so helpful. they even pushed the baby so we could eat our lunch! You can't get any better than that

We keep going back for one simple reason 2 breakfasts with toast and hot drink for £6.50! All freshly cooked to order... cheaper than the local wetherspoons but choice there is a more

Lovely staff with a great breakfast - prices have recently increased but a small breakfast with tea/coffee and toast is £3.25 (and you can have a large one for a pound more!). What is the point wasting electricity and cooking???

Have to say that as a Darrener I rarely frequent the cafes in the town BUT we needed a snack and to be honest the Tea Room looked the nicest of the bunch - after all we did not wish to frequent a cafe where non-smokers are treated as second class Customers! We ordered one large and three small breakfast and the quality of the food was excellent... no cheap sausages or bacon and the toast had butter on! Impressed is not the word - guess where we are going for breakfast in the morning :)
