Went for an impromptu dinner here and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and service of this place. Value for money was amazing I had a soup and a sandwich, butternut squash soup and a full coronation chicken sandwich, plenty of food and presented excellently, we also had 3 toasties as well all with a nice salad and coleslaw, we also had a bowl of skin on fries what were also super crispy and delicious. We had 2 pots of tea and a huge piping hot latte, just how it should be. The rest of the menu looks amazing as well and we can't wait to visit again and sample some more delicious food and drink!!!

This little cafe is a hidden gem on the sea front in Cleveleys. You don't wait any time for a member of staff to acknowledge that you're here and very quickly you are brought menus which are easy to read on wooden clip boards.There is a great selection of food and drink on Illy's menu but not outfacing.Along with the menus there is fresh cold water brought to your table.The service is slick, the food is all cooked to order by one chef who gets it spot on every time.Coffee is quality and there is a good selection of wines and beer.This resturant allows dogs and you can reserve a table.Reluctant to recommend this cafe for fear of it becoming so busy we can't get a table!

Literally cannot fault this little gem of a place! Absolutely fantastic food, amazing coffees. Fresh water was brought to the table as soon as you sat down. The waitress was very attentive. My daughter had the chicken club sandwich which she said was the best sandwich that she'd had in a long time. I had the 8oz sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection and the onion rings were amazingCan't recommend illys enough!!

I never go out my way to review things often but this one needed one I’ve just moved to the area and I really miss the lake district where the food quality is just amazing stepping in here felt like I was in the Lake District again such high standards great staff, and great price. Food was amazing and I love how they care about every single detail. I loved this place so much I’m now a new regular.

Got to say this place is one of the nicest places I've been for breakfast with welcoming and friendly staff. The menu has plenty to choose from, something for everyone. The portions are spot on, that's why I visited 3 days in a row with the golf lads. I purchased a large breakfast with orange juice on this occasion with extra toast, extra slice of fried bread and it was delicious. I'd say the prices are more than reasonable and would highly recommend.

First time eating here today and will be returning soon! The food was delicious and different to what the other local café's serve. Very good value too. The staff were very friendly and service was fast. It's always busy here, so haven't managed to get a table until today. Now I understand why! So good! Can't wait to try the breakfast menu and 3 course Sunday lunch. I also recommend the gift vouchers as no one could possibly be disappointed after eating here.
