As a regular visitor it's a pleasure to sit in this gentle space with friendly faces, enjoying good food. The art exhibitions change regularly and the cards and gifts (from members of the Create Community and local crafters) available to buy are lovely.

The best cafe in Bolton! You are sure of a warm welcome and a listening ear if you need one. The food is all home/cooked from locally-sourced ingredients, by a very talented young chef and served with a smile by lovely volunteers. If you are looking for quality food at very reasonable prices, you should visit Cafe Create! The cakes are to-die-for too! There are also amazing hand-crafted gifts to peruse and purchase if you are looking for a special gift. Try a visit, you won’t be disappointed!
