SELLING cakes for a customer's baptism and then years later their wedding has been a privilege for Lucchini Cakes in Preston. The family-owned business was established in 1973 and part-owner Gianni Menara says it's a compliment to have such loyal customers. Lucchini's Cakes, as well as their off-shoot business in Preston Market, was originally started as an Italian cake shop in Lygon St in 1952.

Don't step inside this shop for takeaway orders, you'll be asked to step out & place your order at the window & then be totally ignored, while others are granted entry to order takeaway inside. Being a local trader I couldn't be ignored too much longer as I had to go back to work Not the first time, though. I have been ignored before as the waitresses discussed their nail technicians fees & skills! 2 strikes & you're out! So rude, so unprofessional!

Coffee is awful, I only went cos I saw reviews saying coffee was good, that was a lie unfortunately or that reviewer has a very low standard for coffees. Lovely service however.

Great little family run cafe, oozing in character. Well priced and generous portions, and the staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Nice old school feel to the place that makes it feel quite homely.

Old-school family-run cafe that's a nice little escape from the hustle & bustle of High St outside. The interior has plenty of character thanks to the artworks all over the walls, the service is genuine and friendly, and the food and coffee are solid. Glad to have discovered this local and will be back sometime.
