The Food Republic Cafe

Delighted to find my requested table was provided in spite of a very busy lunch time. Much appreciated

Great lunch, quiet corner. Attentive and friendly staff. I will return, thank you!!

Service was exceptional. Food was ok. Good venue to catch up with a friend.

Great service and courteous staff with excellent menu choice Thanks

Always amazing service ! Amazing food! Amazing coffee! Every time I! Love love love this place !

With the new entrance area opened a few people where unclear where to go to the restaurant, and the staff were busy making coffee, and busy so there was no one to talk to, I took the people who didn't know where to go down with me as I did. Maybe better signage/directions would be handy. My muesli was great until the end when there was a long dark hair found in the fruit.

Great food as always. Location easy to get too. A

Staff very patient with us whilst we waited for 3rd member to join us. And didn't try and hurry us at the finish.

Great food and service, wonderful time for Saturday morning with friends.

A neighbourhood gem cafe. Food is delicious and have a variety of options.

Very friendly , attentive and efficient staff . A pleasant and relaxed cafe setting . However my scrambled eggs were over cooked and I didn’t really enjoy. The bacon that I had with the dish was very nice .

Price is too high and salad needs a more sweeter and fresher sauce. Otherwise it's alright.

Beautifully presented and delicious food as well as friendly staff

Food and Service was great! Haven't been for a while and love the new layout

Really enjoyed our breakfast. Great service from friendly staff. Lovely setting. Will definitely return.

While meals were acceptable the huge quantities on the plate made it difficult to manage. There were no SMALL plates to choose from, everything was huge and off putting.

Great local cafe . Good coffee & brill food . Can get a little noisy at times

Food and service very good. Special request provided. We were listened to.

Not great. Since change of management, service downgraded prices up,

Would like more GF options. Environment a little noisy. Difficult to have a conversation.

Always a delicious meal and I am a Coeliac and my dietary needs are always met.

Took a work colleague to lunch, a great experience and great food.

As always great service and great food. Lovely place in Blackburn. Love coming here.

Very busy but prompt service. Helpful staff. A bit noisy for me being deaf in one ear but I’ve been to worse places. Generally very good to excellent.

Food and service was excellent. Great being able to book online.

Love the food, but servings are too large. Dislike their background music, as I struggle to hear. I think the cash register is in a dreadful position, near the door. Otherwise, a great restaurant.

Service great and food v the same. Recommended to all.

The service and atmosphere are good but a bit pricey

The food was amazing and very quick service even on busy Father's day. They also were able to accommodate us by moving us inside at a couple of days notice. Very professional and food delicious

The new rhubarb and apple pancakes were divine. Dad loved the eggs benny and the drinks were great. Service was prompt and friendly

Always a great place to eat at along with very good coffee!

All good- good everything as usual. Will come again !

Tables too close. Prices of some dishes well over the top for what you received.

Our meals were delivered in record time and enjoyed by all.

The staff were great. My chai latee was tasteless. Presentation was good. There were just too many flavours..

We had a fabulous visit . We had a wonderful space for our party of 10. Our waiter Matt was the best. So patient and great knowledge of the menu. He was brilliant. Everyone was very impressed with the venue, menu and attentive staff. We will be back for sure.

Great service and food very appetising. Friendly and lovely ambience

Love the food and atmosphere. Staff are amazing and very friendly.

Busy cafe, food was delicious & staff were friendly & efficient.

Thoroughly enjoyed a beautifully presented meal. It's a nicer place than a lot of the other cafes available around Blackburn making it a standout for somewhere a little nice than the norm.

Great place to catch up with friends, not to noisy

Reliably great food, lovely hospitality staff, prompt service, and an absolute pleasure to dine here.

Staff were delightful Coffee was delicious 🙏 Will be returning

The staff were very nice, cheerful and helpful. The food was good as well.

Made a booking and we felt like we were shoved into the new side which is still under construction. It felt like we were not in the restaurant. Service was fine.

Service was friendly and prompt. The food was delicious and met expectations

Amazing food, great service! Highly recommend the burgers.. they are lovely.. amongst other delicious dishes!

I had the risotto and found the serving - on a deceivingly shallow plate- quite small for the price.

food is great! waiters are friendly and excellent service! will definitely come back next time

Food is always delicious and the service is great. Thanks
