Good vegan options. Hidden gem

While this is hidden away and competing with big chains, this would be my go-to for coffee and lunch. Burnley is not blessed with vegan eateries but Little Barista has several options, which the friendly staff are happy to talk you through. Soups, toasties, panini, some sweet treats too.
Their Orang Utan coffee is also a social project to help avoid deforestation of the Sumatran rainforests. If I could give it a 5 I would.

Great coffee and plenty of vegan options

I recommend the latte with Soy milk and the (vegan) cheese and tomato toastie😄they also have soups of the day that tend to have a vegan option and plenty of sweet treats to choose from. The staff are also very helpful and friendly!

Lovely food and great service

Loads of special and seasonal vegan coffee options, good range of hot breakfast food and a good few vegan cheesecakes and desert options. The restaurant itself is really cool with loads of interesting decor. Definitely will revisit!

Stumbled across this what looked like a coffee shop, but the friendly waitress pointed out all the vegan food inside. Glad we tried it. The food is amazing. Will be back without a doubt.

Great coffee place, fab treats, lovely outdoor area

Lovely atmosphere, and clearly popular! Lots of lovely-looking vegan treats, and a welcoming outdoor seating area (covered). The pumpkin-spiced roll that I had was absolutely awesome: great flavour, slightly melt-in-the-middle like a bread and butter pudding :)

pretty depressing

I came back for a second chance.
It has options but they are really limited and they could easily me more.
They don't get food.

Pros: staff

Cons: very limited, Bob Marley, In Burnley

Scrumptious cakes

We called today and had a lovely cheese and onion toastie followed by a toffee blackberry crumble. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our food and our visit. The coconut latte was amazing. Will def return to this little gem:

Good coffee, nice food

Delicious coffee with various dairy free milk options. Had lots of vegan cakes and a couple of sandwich options including vegan cheese toasties which made me happy. Great little shop doing it's best to cater for vegan diets.

Lovely independent cafe with multiple vegan cakes

Found this on happy cow even though I live in Burnley, I’d not been here before.

Stopped here for breakfast/lunch/brunch with my husband (omnivore).

The staff were very helpful and explained all the vegan options. There was toast with butter, jam or marmalade, cheese and onion/tomato toasties, soups, banana bread and several cakes. There were also smoothies and a few alternative milks. I opted for toast (gluten free), a soy chai latte and also took away a flapjack, a chocolate and walnut brownie plus a blueberry caramel crumble cake. He got a panini, soup, americano and a cake. Everything came to £25.

I asked for avocado but they don’t do it! A vegan menu would’ve been helpful rather than relying on memory when trying to choose. Also the chai latte was served with a non-vegan biscuit on the side, luckily I checked!

There was fruit water available to help yourself with, with lemon, mint and orange.

The service was quick and the staff were great. My change was calculated wrong but they corrected it straight away and apologised.

Outdoor seating is also available, and they’re in a great location in the town centre.

We both thoroughly enjoyed our food and drinks, I would recommend it and I would come back!

Pros: Lots of delicious vegan cake, Vegan butter and cheese available , Alternative milks, hot chocolate and chai latte

Cons: Not fully vegan

Nice food

Toasties can be made to order with vegan cheese. The toasties were lovely, as was the smoothie.

Only issue was waiting time, I think it could be improved. Took nearly half an hour for 2 toasties to be made, even on a quiet day

Pros: Good food, Organic

Cons: Quite a large waiting time

Vegan Cake!

This is a lovely coffee shop, the staff are so friendly and helpful and explained what was vegan, on the day I visited they had 6 different vegan cakes, I only popped in for a cake to takeaway but they also have several plant milk options and the hot chocolate is vegan as well.

Pros: Vegan cake, Friendly staff, Relaxed atmosphere
