Visited again today for the best hot chocolate we've ever had and bacon barmcakes,no better treat when you've had a bad week,or to be honest,any excuse to have one at all. My sister and I live in Thornton-Cleveleys, but come back to Preston especially for this. The place is spotlessly clean,and the staff friendly,cheerful and fast, always a treat.
