Holy Cannoli

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.

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!

Oh my goodness Holy Cannoli is amazing! Such lovely owners. The food is beautiful and really nice comfortable setting. The cannolis are stunning. We had creamy leek and tiramisu French toast wow!! They even did little plate of edamame toast for our little girl. Can’t recommend enough!! Can’t wait to go back. Ate our food too quickly to remember to take pictures.

I don’t often go out of my way to review a company but the food here is amazing and the staff are lovely.

Their cakes (especially the carrot cake) are so insanely good. The carrot cake needs to win awards you cannot appreciate how good it is until you have tried it.

My partner asked if he could buy a whole cake off of them for my birthday and it was hands down the best gift I’ve ever had!

I’m soon to move away from the area and I’ll be sad to leave trips to this place behind.

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.

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. 👍🏻🤩

On my weekly road trip with my mum we discovered this little gem in Great Harwood, the award winning Holy Cannoli.

It's a lovely family run business.

A very tasty plant based menu. Daughter came up with the concept, mum makes the cakes and dad the mains. We'll be sure to visit again.

Great place, great menu, great people.

Excellent vegan food and great staff. A shame that it doesn’t have a step-free entrance (but it is an old building)

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!

Absolutely gorgeous vegan café.
Lovely welcoming atmosphere, really friendly staff and delicious food.
Highly recommend the tiramisu french toast!

We visit regularly and the service is always brilliant and very friendly. The food is incredible, we always really enjoy it no matter what we choose from the menu. The menu is regularly updated to keep it interesting. Lovely to see a completely plant based business thriving. I never hesitate to recommend Holy Cannoli if someone is looking for somewhere to eat in Great Harwood.

An absolute gem! This place is so so good and the family that owns it are so lovely, could not recommend enough we were on a little Christmas getaway and staying close by, this place was so good that we ended up coming every day almost the whole trip
• trying new
things and each and every one of them was just amazing
At the things we had were the
festive burger, oatmeal, granola pot, croissant and cake trio (every one of them 10/10)

Had a beautiful afternoon tea with my two son's Christopher and Thomas for Mother's Day here today. Excellent food, service and surroundings. If you've not tried here yet I would highly recommend you do its absolutely amazing. Will be back soon xx

AMAZING absolutely delicious dairy free/vegan food. I had the chocolate orange French toast and it was incredible!!!

An exceptional vegan eatery. Absolutely delicious. Staff are very warm and the food is inspired.

Popped in for a coffee to take out. Really friendly staff and probably the best oat milk latte I've ever had. Will definitely be back

Fabulous cafe to add to Great Harwood's ever expanding range of independents. Delicious range of food that changes with the seasons. Always a warm welcome and has quickly become our go to cafe for mid week lunch.

Lovely vegan oriented cafe. We had a selection of coffees, lemonade and smoothies. All were excellent quality and a great price. Will be back again to try the pastries as well!!

We have had a number of celebration cakes from Holy Cannoli and this weekend’s cake for my son was yet another triumph. Absolutely delicious, iced and decorated to perfection with a Gruffalo theme. The marshmallow fairy toadstools were a huge hit with the little ones and any remaining cake was quickly swiped by the adults! As an allergy parent, the fact that all of their cakes are vegan means that I can relax knowing that their bakes are milk free too. I can’t recommend this local gem enough. Thank you Holy Cannoli!
