Holy Cannoli - Blackburn

J H.

Vegan wine tasting with canapes was the first event I've been to at Holy Cannoli and it was fantastic and so well organised. We were given a Wine & Food tasting notes to write down our thoughts for each wine paired with the food. Rachel (owner) gave a brief description of each wine and was very knowledgeable and confident about her wine choices. The food was perfectly matched to the wines and delicious small plates per course. We could not fault the whole event from walking through the front door to finishing with a fabulous coffee and at £35 pp we thought it was a bargain. We bought a couple of wines which we will collect in a few days, so might have to have lunch (:-). I look forward to more wine tastings and I'll be checking out their After Dark evening events too.

Excellent little vegan cafe! Myself and my partner went mid week on a Wednesday, and both had the breakfast there. Loved the presentation of the breakfast, and it tasted amazing 😁👌🏻💯 We purchased a slice each of their carrot cake to take home, which was well... Oh, my days INCREDIBLE! We loved the atmosphere about the place with many indoor plants and beautiful decor. We're planning to return very soon to try more of their options. 😁🌱 Highly recommended 👌🏻

We’ve enjoyed many visits to Holy Cannoli as a family and when my daughter asked to celebrate her 5th birthday there (in the school hols) they did not hesitate to book it in the diary.

She requested a unicorn afternoon tea (their Easter one was fabulous!) and decorated the table, put out craft items and also a gift. My daughter was absolutely delighted and as ever the food was delicious.

My non vegan relatives also made a surprise appearance and said the atmosphere and food was spectacular.

I would absolutely recommend a trip here and my husband, a keen cyclist will be making the most out of their new outdoor area.

Service is enough to visit and the food will NOT disappoint.

Excellent service and food. Feels like a Michelin star brunch in Great Harwood. Fully vegan! Highly recommended. Thank you.

Our first time here last night , and to my husband's surprise, he didn't feel he missed meat or fish at our first "After Dark" taster experience at "Holy Cannolli" a family run, tiny restaurant. It has a limited number of covers for the monthly After Dark events, so the service and attention to detail is superb. The entirely vegan restaurant is tucked away up a side street, but there's nothing tiny about the taste or the potions. The term "Holy Cannolli" is used when something is out of this world amazing - and in this case, is well deserved. Needless to say, I had the accompanying flight of wine - and it didn't influence this review at all!. Already booked to go again. Thank you HC!

UPDATE: still obsessed. The new wine menu is amazing! Nice to see some different wines offered. The food is incredible as always and staff always remember you which is nice.

Went here for brunch today, I have been for food before and also to grab some sweets to go. It was as lovely as always! We didn’t book however shown to a lovely table with a smile where the seats were very comfy and inviting. We went for the Beijing Burger and the Mushrooms on Toast. The burger was lovely, came with sriracha slaw and some excellent chippy-style curry sauce with some salt n pepper wedges which complemented each other very well. So tasty! The Mushrooms were perfectly cooked and a nice portion, the bread was fresh and filling and didn’t go soggy like some places that make a similar dish. The coffees were excellent too, highly recommend the Mocha, one of the best I have tried. The food doesn’t taste fake, it’s not trying to be overly fancy like some places do. It’s good, hearty and fresh tasting and almost gave you a beautifully home cooked food experience!

I think this is family-run which just added to the lovely atmosphere. It is always refreshing visiting a restaurant that not only wants but also appreciates your custom. The appreciation was very much mutual and we will definitely be back again! 10/10! Thank you to all the staff!

As a side note, the food was very reasonably priced! No complaints if I tried. 👍🏻🤩

Ok, yes it’s Vegan, but don’t think for a second about that part, or let it put you off going or you’ll be missing out!

Drinks and food were truly amazing and having a family owned local business with such amazing tasting recipes is a true boon for Great Harwood’s growing scene!

Coffees and smoothies are all amazing, with some cute music themed names. My 24 CARROT drink was great! Food was well portioned and honestly some of the best brekkie food I’ve ever eaten all for super reasonable prices. Keep up the solid work peeps!

Great little cafe. Looking forward to going back again sometime soon.
I had the ultimate stack and my wife had the French toast. Both were excellent.
I think we'll pick up some cinnamon buns next time we're in.
