The brand-new café within Bolton Central Library will be unveiled on Friday 19 January, when the newly renovated library opens its doors once again.
Located on Le Mans Crescent, the aptly named Café Crescent will be operated by David Bellis who runs the Turton Tower Woodland Café and will offer a feast of exceptional high-quality snacks, meals, ice creams, hot/cold drinks, cakes, and confectionery at a reasonable price.
The menus will be designed to appeal to the whole community and they will source as much produce as possible from Bolton providers.
Food will be freshly cooked and prepared on the premises with options on the menu for vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free, dairy-free and those with intolerances.
Lunch will feature a range of quality sandwiches, paninis, jacket potatoes, soups, salads and a daily pot meal.
Daily homemade desserts and pastries will be offered throughout the day. Toast, teacakes, scones, fresh fruit, cookies, flapjack bars, chocolate and crisps will also be available.
Join us for a traditional afternoon tea comprising finger sandwiches, scones with jam and cream and a choice of cake or pastry.
All washed down with a selection of teas, fairtrade filter coffee, soft drinks, juices and specials.
A branded reusable drinks bottle will also be on sale with a free bottle fill service for tap water.
Café Crescent will feel like it’s a real treat. Customers will feel like they have been transported to an era of splendour and elegance, whilst enjoying all the benefits of 21st-century life.
Bolton Council’s Executive Cabinet Member for Culture, Cllr Nadeem Ayub, said:
“Having a brand-new café in the town centre is the perfect complement to the refurbished library.
“As well as providing a locally sourced menu, it will be a welcoming meeting space for residents and visitors in a remarkable, cultural setting.
“The perfect place to wind down after a visit to the new library, the much-loved museum and aquarium or a workshop in the new Build A Business area.”

Monday - 9am to 7.30pm
Tuesday - 9am to 7.30pm
Wednesday - 9.30am to 5.30pm

The renovation of Central Library has been funded by the government’s Towns Fund, which has also supported a food hall extension to Bolton Market, the creation of Elizabeth Park, major improvements to Ashburner Street and the ongoing conversion of the Wellsprings office building into an innovation hub for start-up businesses.
Together with the development of Moor Lane, this area of Bolton is being complete transformed as part of the council’s wider plan to regenerate the town centre into a vibrant and attractive place to live, work and visit.
