Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Lovely Dog Friendly Cafe

Aug 2020 • family

We stayed recently in Lytham St Anne’s and I had done some research and Fresh Cafe came highly recommend!! We were not disappointed and ate here twice during our break, the American style breakfast was lovely and the food was really well cooked and was great value particularly with the Eat out to Help our scheme. Really nice personal touch was my daughter asking for no eggs on her breakfast and the owner then offering the sausages we’d ordered for our dog for free instead of the eggs. Just a little thing but shows customers are valued.

Delicious home made soup & cake

Nov 2020 • family

Delicious home made soup and cakes - we had a light lunch of the home made soups (choice of three varieties), cheese toastie and jacket potato followed by a lovely scone with jam and butter. Lots of other options, all freshly prepared, nicely garnished and good! Staff lovely and friendly. Definitely recommend a visit - very Covid secure and thoroughly clean table and chairs between each customer.

Fabulous Lunch

Jun 2021 • friends

I visited today with my friend. We sat in the Cute Garden at the back . We were attended too by lovely friendly staff, efficient and felt very Covid safe. We both had chicken and bacon salad and it was fabulous and lovely coffees. They have a bug menu to choose from and it's very reasonably priced. We will definitely go back.

Disappointed that they charge for tap water.

Apr 2023 • friends

Although I live in St. Annes and frequent most of the cafes in Lytham and St.Annes I have never tried Fresh cafe before. Nice cafe, good service and friendly staff. My friend and I had soup and a sandwich for lunch which we enjoyed. I would have happily returned to the cafe if we had not been charged for 2 glasses of tap water. I have never been to a cafe before that charges for tap water! I can understand if you went in and took up a table and only had tap water but when you have a lunch that you are paying £18 for seems strange to be charged for a small glass of water that didn’t even have ice and lemon in. Shame, I won’t be returning because of this.

A family favourite for us all....including our pooch!

Aug 2020 • family

What an absolute gem of a cafe! There is the choice of outdoor sitting at the front where you can watch the daily bustle of the square, a well spaced airy, covid-friendly indoor area, or....our favourite...is the lovely enclosed outdoor area at the back. There is something for everyone on the menu, whether you want a full english, a light bite or an afternoon tea. Service is prompt and friendly and the food is never far behind the order, even our dog got a sausage! Cakes are homemade and delicious and can be accompanied by a varied selection of teas, coffees and cold drinks. Fresh is one of our hidden gems in st annes and a must for all who visit here!

Friendly staff great breakfast and dog friendly

Jul 2022 • family

Called here on Saturday 9th July for a breakfast. We were looking for somewhere dog friendly and this place was. It was a busy cafe but we managed to get the last available table in the courtyard at the back. The english breakfasts were great and they also didn't leave out our little dog and cooked some sausage for her...which she happily wolfed down. All the staff were very warm, friendly and polite. If the cafe had been open on Sunday morning we would definately have been there again. The cafe closes currently on Sunday and Monday. If you are visiting Lytham St Annes square then give this place a try. We will definately go back when we are in the area. Thank you Fresh Cafe

Nice but expensive

Aug 2020 • family

Nice food, lovely service but the prices for the portion sizes are exorbitant. Some prices don’t seem much higher than other cafes in the region but the bare minimum portion. £2.70 for one small scoop of chips, £4.95 (yes almost a fiver) for a barm with one sausage, one egg and one rasher of bacon. Won’t use again.

Hello Stephen, Thank you for the compliment on the service which sounds accurate. However, I think we both know that the rest of it is not quite so... I have owned and cooked every meal in Fresh for 12 years and never served a breakfast barm of your description... 2 sausage, 2 bacon and 1 egg are the items for this barm and it is appropriately priced at £4.95. There are two sizes of chips small and regular. I am guessing you have selected the wrong cafe to review, but can i suggest for the future that if you feel this way that you flag it to the owners when your food arrives, then if it’s a viable complaint it can be rectified! Wherever this was they are truly blessed that you won’t be returning!

Great independent cafe

Mar 2023 • friends

Fabulous cafe myself and friends go most weeks along with dogs and it never disappoints. The food is consistently good and the owners along with their staff always make us welcome and the dogs are treated equally welcome with sausages and bacon served to them. Have no hesitation in recommending them. ❤️

Fresh cafe St Anne's Square

Sept 2020 • couples

Went to Fresh cafe in St Anne's Square a couple of times over a 3 day stay. Was pleseantly surprised on the staffs attention to detail nothing was to much trouble catering for all requirements. Each customer was greeted with excellent customer services the intire cafe was exceptionally clean and the food was excellent. The main factor here is the location in the square clean excellent service good traditional food high standards throughout anyone's visit. Would recommend to anyone visiting this area. Will return. Thank you Fresh cafe. Paul H

Harry thoroughly recommends the sausages

Jun 2021 • none

A perfect blueprint on how cafes should be run. Decent prices, lovely food, friendly and professional hosts. My 4 year old Jack Russell was presented with a sliced-up sausage, which he ravenously gulped down. The only negative is in the past few years I have not experienced any other cafes in St. Annes, why would I go elsewhere>

A family experience review

Jun 2024 • family

Staff were incredibly patient and friendly with a solo parent a 3 year old and a teething 1 year old. Staff offered help and prompt service moving forward an order for a child on the afternoon menu to the breakfast one to accommodate. The cafe was constantly full throughout and had to turn people away which speaks volumes of the quality yet while occupying the biggest table we were not rushed. I will be returning.

Very dog and hooman friendly!

Feb 2022 • couples

THE best cafe in St Annes for atmosphere, care and consideration from all of the staff and to top it all the food is great! We had brunch there on Saturday morning, sausage, egg and mushroom barm (bap), veggie for me, meat for the OH. Great quality, large portions. The cafe is dog friendly with a love sheltered garden area out back. It gets busy but we shared a covid friendly table and made a new friend (had a lovely chat with someone sitting alone and would quite happily do so again). There entry of tables if you dont want to share though. Highly recommended 👌

Great find

Jul 2023 • couples

We had won a cream tea voucher at the Carnival and popped it to see if we could upgrade to an afternoon tea. They were very helpful and said we could and we could also bring our dog Brian We went back a couple of days later and really enjoyed our afternoon tea and Brian was given a special treat. The staff are very friendly and really seem to enjoy themselves even when it was busy. Very comfortable cafe with good food and warm friendly vibes

Breakfast

Jun 2021 • couples

The staff were very helpful and friendly with regard to whether my disabled girlfriend would be able to use the toilet. Unfortunately she couldn’t but as we had such a warm welcome we decided to come back a bit later. Glad we did, we had a delicious well filled sausage barm, cheese on toast and tea bread. Tea in proper cups and a cosy around the pot, fantastic. We always prefer to try an independent when visiting a town.

Some good points undone by some bad.

Jun 2023 • couples

Good quick service, clean tables and seating, fairly quiet so you can hear yourself think, enjoyed our lunch although the optional sald is not much more than a dollop of coleslaw, 3 cherry tomato halves and some iceberg leaves. I think 4.15 for side order of chips is too expensive. Spoilt by dog on the next table. Not everyone is pro dog in cafes when your'e eating and its watching your every move.

I am sorry to read this mainly negative review. I thank you initially for the comment on the service and cleanliness, we try to ensure we are consistent on these. In response to your second point:- We used to give salad for no extra charge and everyone accepted it when asked and then half of them left it all on the plate. With the cost of food doubling over the last few years we found adding a charge on made people think about not having it and wasting it. The result is, it has worked as we wanted. Third point:- There are clear signs both outside and inside that we are dog friendly, we are very happy about this and so are 98% of the costumers who frequent. May I suggest if you are not then you take your business elsewhere, there are a few to choose from where I am sure you will feel more comfortable.
