Hidden Gem

We visited on December 1st for the first time. The atmosphere and jazz music is so relaxing and soothing as soon as you enter. The owner was extremely friendly and welcoming. He was extremely helpful and we loved that he told us that he grows most of his food himself.
A true hidden gem worth visiting not only for the warm atmosphere and friendly owner. But the food was absolutely delicious!

Pros: Warm atmosphere , Friendly owner, Delicious food

Cons: None.

Slow

We were there at the same time as the reviewer below and the food really was very slow. When it came it absolutely didn’t resemble jerk chicken and rice in the slightest (was more like scrambled tofu and rice), but what we got was delicious, hence the 4*. Really cute place, but the menu was about 3 choices with no sweets at all, and it took a while!

Far too slow

We were there almost an hour before they even took our order. This is simply unacceptable regardless of how good the food is. Only one person was working there and he only seemed to be able to do one thing at a time. There were only two other couples there so not busy. Every thing seemed to be a chore for him and he even asked us to clear our tables for him. The jerk chicken and rice was probably ok but I had to eat it too quickly to tell as we were now running late. Another couple had to take their food with them. Only the jerk chicken with rice and two toasties were available. We would probably not recommending this place unless you have lots of time to spare.

Cons: Slow

Welcoming, warm and delicious vegan food

Decorated with warm and peaceful vibes, it felt so cozy and welcoming. The gentleman who runs the café is so kind and friendly and there's board games to play whilst you listen to the relaxing music and enjoy the delicious vegan food.

This lovely vegan café is a gem and situated close to the south pier.

Pros: Welcoming cafe manager, Delicious and affordable vegan food, Beautifully decorated cafe plus boardgames

Gorgeous food & dog friendly

We had the jerk chickn and rice, huge portions for £8 each. It was one of the best meals we've had in a very long time, amazing flavours. The owner is so cool and friendly too! Dog friendly with water bowls available. A great find after battling through the crowds on the promenade. Definitely recommend and we will look forward to going back when next in the area

Pros: Gorgeous food, Very reasonable priced , Dog friendly

Delicious food, great atmosphere.

5 stars for the Cosy Jazz Cafe! This quirky vegan gem in Blackpool is a must-visit. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, with comfy sofas and chairs perfect for relaxing.
The food was delicious - we tried the jerk 'chicken' toastie with a generous portion of rice, beans, and hummus. The owner's hospitality was amazing - super friendly and welcoming. He even made my birthday special with a surprise cake and singing!
The cafe has a great selection of jazz music playing in the background, and there are books and board games to enjoy too. Overall, a fantastic experience!

Pros: Food, Atmosphere , Friendly staff

Amazing food and such a beautiful oasis on the seaside

We had the jerk "chicken" rice and it had so much flavour, so much so I literally said I could eat that every day of the week and never get tired of it. The guy who runs the place was very friendly too and we ended up having a nice chat about alternative living and his awesome marshmallow crocks 👌 Wish we could have picked this cafe up and taken it back home with us ❤️

Pros: The dude who ran the place, Great food, The vibe in the place was perfect

Impeccable food and vibes

Simply put - some of the best food I've ever eaten, and some of the best vibes I've ever had the pleasure of being surrounded by :)

The owner is genuinely kind and lovely to chat to. From what I know the cafe has been voted the best in the UK, and top 10 in the world - I can't begin to describe just how deserved that is.

If you're ever in the proximity of this place, or even if you're not - it's a must-go!

Pros: Food and drinks, Vibes (music, aesthetic), Genuinely lovely owner

Delicious food

Seeked this place out, obviously and glad i did. Whilst it's full of odds and sods (charity shop chic) which isn't really my thing, the welcome and vibe grabbed me.
Really nice owner, and the food was AMAZING at a great price (verging on cheap).
Food was in a box, which i'm not fussed about but a coffee needs to be in a mug, i'm sure he has his reasons (classic; dishwasher Vs paper boxes and cups debate).
It's a must, just for the jerk chick'n rice dish and toastie!

Place is a vibeeee

We came here to get a dessert only, however were sold on the mains when we saw them on the board so got some jerk chikn & rice to take away, good size portion, value for money.
Had a hot chocolate whilst we waited because the food is prepared FRESH and was really good. Place was an absolute vibeeee, old board games to play, guitars, just really kitchy cool chilling atmosphere and the staff were super friendly and welcoming.

Delicious food

First time visiting the Cosy Jazz Cafe and I will 100% be visiting again.

All food and drinks were vegan/plant based. I had a hot chocolate as it’s so hard to find a completely vegan hot chocolate locally. I would highly recommend the Jerk chicken rice. The portion size was huge and comes in a takeaway box which is handy and means I can have it for tea.
Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu next time I visit.

It’s such an intriguing cafe to visit with beautiful artwork, games and books all around. Lots of things to keep you entertained. #Veganuary

Pros: Everything was vegan, Food and drinks were delicious

The best Vegan cafe I have been to.

Welcome to Blackpool. We have the best park in the U.K., the tallest rollercoaster in the U.K. The worlds largest mirrorball and the worlds best water ride - Valhalla. We also have a Victorian era tower, miles of perfect beach and the Cozy Jazz cafe. I saved the best till last. An amazing space which is always full of colourful people, relaxing Jazz music and great food. Play chess or a board game whilst you wait for your food or have a chat with the person next to you because they are always fascinating or just drink in the atmosphere. The portions are more than generous and the owner Josh is ace.

Nice food (with a side order of conspiracy theories?)

So, let's get the pros out the way - The philly cheese steak and jerk chicken (both vegan of course) were tasty and were very generous portion sizes. The decor, with sofas and low lighting and incense helped bring on the cafe's titular 'cosy'. It basically comes across as a lovely little, chilled vegan cafe. All to the soundtrack of jazz (which I can take or leave but if it's your thing, great! If you hate it, you won't be able to last long in there).

One thing that I can't say is necessarily a pro or a con is that the waiting time on food and even drinks is very (VERY) long. If you go expecting this, then it is nice to be slowed down from the hustle and bustle but if you are hungry, an off the cuff visit here is not for you.

So. The cons. All the cups, plates, cutlery was disposable. It was shocking actually, that our teas came in disposable cups and our food in cardboard boxes, even more so due to the fact it is a vegan place.
And the vibe...well...it was all very friendly and relaxed, but the lack of covid advice etc (admittedly after July 19 2021) was strange - until we found The Light 'truthpaper', packed full of anti-mask and anti-vaccine stories and (apparently much-liked by Piers Corbyn - yikes!). A regular customer, sat on a table next to us, also played a loud video at one point, about conspiracy theories.

Despite the nice food, perhaps best avoided.

Pros: Tasty food with big portions, genuinely cosy

Great vibe & food

Lovely quirky chilled out place, allowed our dog in. Loved the addition of the games and books that were available. We had the jerk 'chicken' rice which was full of flavour! Not spicy but you can add spice to taste with bottles available on table. The portion size was also huge for me so I took the rest of mine home. We also took some chocolate fudge cake back with us which was delicious!

Pros: Food , Atmosphere , Price

Cons: None

The Best vegan Cafe

The most amazing Vegan cafe I have ever been to. Very relaxing inside with games to keep you entertained, relaxing music and comfortable seating. I had a Chai Latte and it was incredible. The portions were big and the food was delicious. Very kind host who made us feel very welcome. 10/10 would recommend and visit here again.

Pros: Chai latte, Games, Relaxing atmosphere

Cons: None.
