The 25 best cake shops and cake bakeries in Cumbria

Beautiful bakery, wonderful homely interior, excellent food, drinks and customer service.

Best egg custard tart I’ve ever tasted. An Eccles cake filled with currants not pastry & a perfect sausage roll. One of the best bakeries in the UK

Lovely local bakery. We stopped for coffee and a snack. All of which were absolutely lovely. Definitely recommend a visit here.

Brilliant little bakers, I bought a Steak and Ale pie which was full to the brim of steak and gravy really good pastry case too. But the highlight was the Cinnamon and Raisin bun.... Best I've had! My only regret was not buying the whole tray 🤤

Only stopped for a (very good) coffee but seems like a very nice cafe. Plenty of cakes and baked goods on offer

Freshly baked cakes and pies and super coffee. Make sure to get there early as they sell out quick.

Really nice coffee and flapjack just a shame the older of the 2 ladies was rude. Admittedly it was near closing but that's no excuse. The young lady was lovely

The best bakery ever!! It's a dream come true. I highly recommend almost everything 🤣 but if I had to choose, I would say cinnamon roll and cheese things. I also have to say that the service is magnificent.

Amazing little bakery, bread, croissants and cinnamon bun all were delicious. Staff were super nice and good customer service. It was a nice end to our trip to Lake District and diffidently worth a visit while in the area.

This is without doubt the best bakery I have ever been to. The sourdough, service and pastries are perfect. It’s not ridiculously priced, excellent value for artisanal breads. We took a detour on our trip to Scotland to visit again on our way home and we will back next time we visit the North! Thanks very much!

Everything I’ve tried is absolutely delicious. Like a sweet shop for adults. Not an everyday kind of loaf - premium priced - the quality is very high though. Good luck not picking up a sweet treat while you’re there - cinnamon swirl is delish 👌 Loaf: £4.50 Cinnamon Swirl: £2.30

What a fantastic range of bakery products on offer - all baked on site. Plenty of tasters and dipping oil to try before you buy. The service is superb and all your queries will be answered. Such a pleasure to shop here 👍🏻

A lovely welcome from the staff. Got to taste a variety of lovely samples and purchased some bread, pastries olives and oil which were all amazing.

My favourite bakery in the country! I visit it every time I’m over. The couple who run it are lovely, and I’ve never had a single issue with the staff, they’ve all been great. My favourites are the cinnamon knots, the five grain tin and the whole meal ciabattas. They also make the shop looks so pretty stylistically with the decorations. Really makes it a whole experience buying from there (which is part of the enjoyment). Yes it’s expensive for bread, but you know you’re eating delicious bread that’s good for your gut and body! That’s more than you can say for 95% of bread these days!

Good bakery. Friendly staff. Nice sandwiches and filled rolls. I got my sourdough starter here no problem after losing mine when moving to Cockermouth. Best to come early to get the best choice of their lovely breads.

Delicious bacon and lentil soup here this Wednesday lunchtime, the bread rolls fantastic also . Friendly service.

Superb wide range of breads and cakes. Never get indigestion from eating their breads. Would highly recommend 😊

Very good coffee and freshly backed croissant .

Lovely freshly cooked food, had food a fresh coffee here a few times. Can fully recommend

Good coffee, Great Rolls. been back twice and will return for the 3rd time

Amazing bread and lots of choice!

I wish I had found this bakery earlier. Very friendly staff, great coffee and amazing bakes. If I had discovered it before we left The Lakes, I would have definitely gone back for some food. From what I saw other customers eating it looked outstanding. I had the Sticky Ginger Nicky slice. Amazing flavour and texture. Would highly recommend.

Great space in a small village location. Had a sausage roll, packed full of filling , tasty and perfectly seasoned. I didn't buy the bread but it looked absolutely amazing. Coffee was great and the friendly 🐦‍⬛ made the experience even more enjoyable.

Nice little cafe that serves delicious food and offers something different from the normal cafe menus. Had a pistachio cinnamon bun which was delicious!

What's not to love here. Stunning quality and flavours. On the higher end price wise. But worth it ! Great coffee, dog friendly and even slice your sour Dough.

We came here to buy some of the excellent bread (try the seaweed sourdough). We stayed for lunch, and it was excellent. They are busy, but we didn't have a problem finding a table. The food rates more than 5 stars. However, let them know if you don't like black pepper, as they are very generous with it.

The More Bakery serves really good burgers, and I’m also a big fan of their coffee beans, such an impressive collection with unique and interesting flavors. The service and ambience are decent, and there’s plenty of parking available near the shop itself.

We went to More? on the last morning of our break up in Cumbria. I wish we had visited on the first day of the holiday as I am pretty sure that we would have visited all five days! The best porridge I have ever had. This bakery is all about quality and they deserve all of the great reviews. Fab team members who were polite and efficient. A gem of a bakery with great coffee too!

I heard about this wonderful little place from a local cumbrian gentlemen. My taught, initially was to have a scone with tea, but unfortunately for me the scones were sold out. I'm not surprised because they really are that good from what I hear. Moving on, instead of sulking about having missed the scones, I decided to have a lemon drizzle cake, with a cup of tea, but of course. Chloe, she is a fine lady, who attended to my request and brought my goodies to the table in the conservatory. I took the opportunity to ask if she could kindly take a picture of me having the lovely experience of devouring my cake with my strong builders tea. I feel that Chloe attends to customers with a lovely smile which brightens up ones spirits and makes it easier for one to feel at ease. This is important for me so that I can enjoy the pleasure of having a meal, snacks and drinks in a friendly environment. I rate this lovely little spot a good five stars and look forward to go back soon.

What a lovely place. I've often thought about stopping here many times on my motorcycle trips but sadly just rode past. I was out with a friend on a ride out this time & decided to stop for a Coffee break. Again, What a lovely place. It's spotlessly clean a great variety of food & some amazing Cakes & Scones. Plenty of tables inside & out. We sat out in the sun at the tables & chairs in the garden area. The Staff were friendly & welcoming on our arrival which always makes a difference & a nice atmosphere. I will definitely be going back for a Coffee & Cake next time I'm out for a ride 🏍️👍 I would definitely recommend going there to anyone passing.

Enjoyed our visit this morning. A friendly welcome, the place is spotlessly clean. Our food - a bacon sandwich and coffee and cake was really good and the staff were attentive and very helpful (I’m gluten intolerant). The boutique upstairs is worth a visit too.

Purchased the fennel loaf and rye loaf, excellent 👍 we also had the cornedbeef and potato pies absolutely delicious. Another visit on our way home from Northumberland may 2025,we had lunch,very good food again.

Lovely place to stop after a long day out on the motorbike. The food was fantastic and the staff were really friendly. There was a thirty minute wait for hot food because it was quite busy when we arrived .But our cold food came out quickly so wasn't a problem.Seating inside and out and quite a few crafts and produce you can buy for gifts inside .Well worth a visit if your in the area!!!

This was a recommendation, and it didn't disappoint. I took my mother and daughter for a snacket and a cuppa. I had been told about the Corned Beef Pie, which I confess I will have to go back for now that I know the portion size!!! So I opted for the cheese scone, which was delicious and so crumbly fresh, with a lovely Earl Grey. My daughter opted for a slice of the most fabulous Blueberry & Lemon cake, of which I had a sample. Breakfasts and lunches were available. Those we saw looked of very good quality and generous portions. There was a good selection of drinks available too. You could take away or have table service (or both, should the need arise as it did for me with the most amazing Brownie for the following days breakfast). There was ample seating indoors and out to choose from. It was clean and fresh, and the tempting aromas were tantalising. The staff were friendly and helpful, not to mention patience whilst we tried to decide what to have. The facilities were well presented, accessible, and clean. You can also pick up gifts of which there was a fabulous range, greetings cards, daily essentials, treats, fresh bread, and local produce. Perfect if you're staying nearby or passing through and don't want the hassle of finding a larger store or supermarket some miles away. We loved our treat, and I will definitely be going back to sample the pie!!! So I made it back to try the Corned Beef Pie and was not disappointed. I chose a side of sweet potato fries, which were cooked to perfection. That was me literally fed for the day.

Lovely little spot, not just a local shop for local people although lots of precious things to buy here. Terrific fresh bread. Great chocolate products, lots of great things for the home as well as preserves that I'm very much looking forward to trying out! See pictures for the range of products, also an upstairs clothes shop, great for the wanderers out there. Honestly nothing like this shop for miles around, so worth a visit if you're in the Melmerby or surrounding area. Great!

What a fantastic little cafe. The fact it was busy was a good sign. People were queuing for a seat. The food was amazing and decent portion sizes. Good value for money. If we ever return to the lakes we will definitely be back here.

Amazing food, lovely staff and gorgeous place for breakfast! We had the Turkish eggs and a haloumi sandwich and they were amazing! Coffees and cakes are mouthwatering good too. Best dirty chai I've had in a loooong time. They absolutely love dogs, they have dog beds you can borrow and homemade dog treats at the counter. 10/10 would recommend.

I’ve tried their sausage rolls, Americano, and the chili jam pork pie — and that pie was the best I’ve ever had. It was incredibly flavorful, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The customer service was very satisfying, and there’s plenty of parking available outside the bakery.

Great little place. Amazing food, nice atmosphere. We stopped here on our way back from camping and glad we did! I had the Turkish eggs and they were delicious. Definitely recommend

I had the best breakfast here! I'm not keen on baked beans but here they are amazing!!! Along with the homemade Hash browns, quality bacon, black pudding and eggs and tasty Sausages and fresh Sourdough. So glad I decided to call in on my way back home. Will definitely visit again if I'm over that way.

Food is always incredible. Today we had a pork burrito and a club sandwich, plus a side of homemade hash browns and waffle fries. Portions are huge and our eyes probably too big for our bellies! Only downside is no bookings so get there early and be prepared to wait as this place is always busy. Service is friendly and efficient, didn’t have to wait long for food considering how busy it was.

Have been here many times and have had an amazing experience each time! The food is amazing and coffee too and the service is always great, with the staff also being very friendly 💗 would 10/10 recommend!

​We recently returned to Armathwaite Hall for a five-day engagement stay, and it was the most perfect and beautiful experience imaginable. It was here, just two weeks prior to our stay, that my now-fiancé surprised me with a proposal that I will cherish forever. ​A huge thank you goes to Louise, who was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to set up our proposal area. She perfectly arranged the space with romantic touches, including roses, candlelit lanterns, and chilled champagne. I am so grateful for her assistance in making our special moment feel like a fairy tale. Our stay was absolutely magical, and we can't recommend Armathwaite Hall enough for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion in a truly stunning location.

Booked for my daughter’s 18th. There was a little hiccup with the booking but Will sorted it and went above and beyond to make sure everything was ok. The lady on the desk was lovely. What makes this place is the staff they are so lovely, I can’t thank you enough my daughter will never forget her time here, I actually struggled to get her to leave. Beautiful place. Thankyou very much.

We had a wonderful mini-moon at Armathwaite, with lovely dinners both nights at The Grill. The service from Joanna, Matthew and Guru was outstanding - with personal recommendations! Would recommend to anyone who wants to explore the quieter side of the Lake District, with lots of beautiful scenery and things to enjoy nearby

Afternoon tea: We have visited for afternoon tea on numerous occasions and the standard is always high. Today was no exception. Lovely attentive staff, excellent selection of savoury and sweet treats. Offered iced water along with choice of teas/coffees (some of the other guests had opted for cold drinks). A lovely experience.

we arrived to a 15% extra charge on the room apparently its in a email i didn't receive. The room was old stuffy and tired, paint is pealing from the bathroom ceiling ,tiles missing and dirty carpet. The fine dining experience was just that fine and massively over priced . We ordered room service our food took over a hour to arrive when it finally came it was stone cold and inedible.When we checked out i had to ask the lady to repeat herself because i didn't understand the bill she looked annoyed and obviously couldn't be bothered to explain . upside the hotel is a wonderful building and the location is second to none.

A beautiful venue. Restaurant staff were amazing and couldn't do enough to help. Most reception staff were helpful but one of the wedding helpers were rude and unhelpful. Rooms were large with good views but too hot. No air con just a small fan. Expensive to not sleep due to heat.

This was our second stay in a Garden Suite at Armathwaite (last year was Room 146, which was lovely_. We asked for something closer to the main building this time, as there's a line of lime trees and more that obscure the lake view - still lovely but Bassenthwaite is pretty spectacular! This time we had Room 140 - a larger garden suite with a large high ceiling living area. Pretty impressive! And both the bedroom and living room opened up onto a large terrace (there are comfortable recliners to enjoy the sunshine in all these suites). We could partly see the lake - although a mighty yew tree was in the way this time. Can't really complain though. The room was again lovely with a high end contemporary designer's touch - with a huge accessible shower room/bathroom (it doesn't look "accessible" as it's very well done - so no awkward compromises). Service from start to finish was great - all the staff were willing and friendly. Obviously a very well oiled machine at work keeping standards high. A delight in this day and age! We always appreciate the gorgeous public rooms and a lovely sunny terrace with lake views. We loved the new spa tub - though timing is important if you don't want too many people sharing it (probably avoid early evening). The pool and spa area wasn't crowded and all very nicely done. Food and drink-wise we had a great breakfast and afternoon tea. Our only disappointment was the Grill Room: in spite of great service and nice decor, as even though the steak itself I had was excellent, everything else was very mediocre and not exactly cheap either. If you go, I suggest sticking to just steak (I imagine the burger would be good too) and not much else. Having said that, we'd absolutely love to return - and undoubtedly will. The place itself, rooms, staff the and location are fantastic. Keep up the good work. Next time maybe we can just have a chateaubriand! And I believe there's a suite with a roof terrace that looks amazing - next time, next time…

Lovely people, so friendly. Make delicious bread and pastries. I absolutely love their olive bread. I could nom the whole loaf in a few minutes... Just got some delicious olive bread, warm from the oven. Got there just after 11. So tasty. Tempted to eat it all on the walk back. (14/04/21) Got some different breads as well yesterday. Olive twist with goat's cheese and a flatbread with sundried tomatoes and goat's cheese. Very scrumptious (21/04/21) Got two slices of delicious, moist Lemon and Coconut cake. Lovely with a nice cup of tea (16/10/21)

Visited Lancaster for the day and as we were leaving we literally followed our nose to this beautiful bakery. We picked up the Overnight Loaf and Chilli Cheese Loaf and struggled to not tear into them on the way home! Absolutely delicious both of them. We might just make a trip back up to Lancaster for bread! Thank you to the last behind the till for being wonderfully kind and bagging up the loaves especially.

smells great, a working bakery, entering the store immediately relieved stress. ordered a chickpea pastie, a mushroom pastie and peanut butter blondie. Oh my, as a confused and lost West Country lad I'm glad i found this place. The pasties were confused, lost (in a good way) and absolutely gorgeous.

The family absolutely loved this gluten free bread, it went down a treat. We'll definitely back for more. Thank you.

Fantastic breads and pastries. Get there early!

Filbert's is a very lovely bakery with bread just as wonderful as all those who work there. I would especially recommend the Overnight White; for the past two years I've been buying it, it's never once disappointed me. If you can get there before they run out, cinnamon rolls on Saturdays are brilliant as well.

1 STAR FOR GLUTEN FREE 5 STARS FOR EVERYTHING ELSE I’ve recently had to go gluten free, but couldn’t imagine life without Filberts. Unfortunately their gf loaf is pretty awful: - Impossible to cut without it crumbling to pieces - Bits of grease proof paper cooked into the side - Horrible floury flavour I don’t think the bread should be sold until the recipe is amended. If that’s not possible, don’t charge a stonking £4.95 for a small ! I would ask for a refund if it wasn’t an independent business.

eally good second stay at Abbey House. Had a great vegan breakfast and the staff were brilliant — especially the breakfast team who couldn’t do enough to help. Didn’t eat at the restaurant for dinner this time, as my last visit didn’t have a vegan option. Looks like they’ve since added a risotto, which is a good step forward. There was a wedding on, but they kept it pretty separate so it didn’t disturb the stay at all. Bed was really comfy. Slept right through until 8am thanks to proper blackout curtains, even with the sun blazing outside. Usually I’m up at 5am with the light, so that was a win. And after a long day of walking and swimming, a hot soak in the freestanding bath was exactly what we needed. Bliss. Boss place. Likely to return. We use it as a base to get into the Lakes and it works well for that.

Want to thank the Abbey House team for looking after us recently! My poor old Dad collapsed in the room as we were about to check out and the hotel really stepped up. Special mention to the wonderful Louise in housekeeping for refusing to leave our side (!) and helping us all the way.. and Shirley head house keeper and Laura the wedding coordinator for all their help in our little emergency too! Special mentions to super cool King on the bar, the smiley superstar that is Wai Wai, the lovely Anne Marie and the receptionist Barbara! You made our stay wonderful! The hotel itself, surrounding grounds and Abbey ruins made for a totally unique experience. Couldn’t believe the Furness General Hospital was 12 minute walk away either! Thank you for checking up on us as we all walked my Dad back, ladies! Breakfast, lunch and dinner at Oscars were all fabulous and totally delicious, I’m still dreaming of my beef cheeks! Unbelievable value if you consider that this hotel would have cost us down south. A stunning stay, shall most definitely be back. Just wish I could get married here! I’ll have to divorce then remarry my husband, just for you ❤️

I stayed here a few years ago with my old work and always knew I wanted to get married here. From the moment I contacted the venue they were so so helpful, from every email (one a day), question, Laura and lauren got back to me within a hour. They didn’t charge me for things other venues did, in fact the threw in bits of decor etc free of charge! Every meeting I had with them they answered all my questions and I never once felt stressed in the process. The day was absolutely amazing and Laura even made sure the ceremony was outside (it was raining until late morning) honestly so glad I picked abbey house to get married, multiple guests said it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Thank you so much abbey house!!

This hotel was lovely. I stayed here for a wedding. The staff were amazing and I would definitely stay here again. The room was amazing and very clean.

Excellent hotel. Staff were amazing and service second to none. The rooms were really comfortable and spotless There is nothing to pick any fault in any department and if you’re looking for a relaxing stay where you’re really looked after then this is for you

Really lovely short stay for a family event. Loved the area (walks, abbey ruins etc). The room and staff were excellent and the food at Oscars was fantastic.

I am really disappointed to have to give such a beautiful place a lower review but I am only being honest. We had driven up from Preston and visited Grizedale Forest. It was an unsually hot 30° and we were in the middle of a heatwave. We chose Abbey House after reading the wonderful reviews. Check in was no problem, it was quick, friendly, and seamless. This was brilliant because we were extremely hot and needed a cold shower and the air con. We walked into our bedroom and were blasted with heat! The room was stifling! We immediately rushed to open the windows and saw that one was open. However, we couldnt open any others! Then we spotted the A/C machine. Imagine you are gently blowing onto a candle in a way that makes the flame dance but doesn't blow it out. That was the strength of the fan...from the other side of the room. This is the LAST thing we needed. I went down to enquire about swapping the A/C for another one only to be told there were no more. We had a cold shower and realised there was no extractor fan in the bathroom, and we couldnt open the window because a cable tie kept it locked tight. The steam filled the bedroom making the heat so much worse. We just got dressed and left to sit in the gardens. We arrived at the bar, hot and sweaty, and waited to be served. The bar man was miserable and didnt greet us, we had to wait for a waiter to come through and serve us instead. It felt very unfriendly. He was like that most of the night! We sat outside in a beautiful seated area under the trees to cool down. The tables were filthy and sticky. There was a wedding on so I understand they had been busy but it only would have taken 10 minutes to wipe them down. Neither of us slept that night because we were just so hot. After a long days walk and a long drive this did not bode well for the journey home. The waiting on staff were super friendly and very professional. The food was gorgeous and the hotel was otherwise spotless. I think if we had visited on a normal British weather day then this review would be very different and probably 4/5 stars so I am genuinely gutted to give it 3. None of the staff were surprised to hear how hot our room was, so it appears this isn't unusual. When we got home we bought a fan from Aldi for £12 which gave off more of a breeze than their A/C unit. The hotel and grounds are stunning and we were really looking forward to staying there so feel very disappointed in our experience.

The smell of the Gingerbread cookies tingles your senses even before you enter the shop. Easy to find, parking just a 2 min walk away. Gets busy very quickly and always a que. Loved the traditional Sarah Nelson's gingerbread. Bought some rum butter, ginger caramel and ginger lemon curd, must say it was tasty.

This place can get very busy, as it seems to be on most visitors lake district to do list (myself included) Got here early though and was able to walk straight in with no wait. Arrive pre 10am to give yourself best chance of avoiding the crowds. The interior of the shop is a feast for the senses. Exuding Olde worlde charm from every corner, and the air is thick with the smell of the gingerbread. To taste it has very little in common with the gingerbread we are all used to, and is so much the better for it. A very dense and chewy texture that almost borders on crunchy. Warm flavor that lingers nicely after the initial mouthful. Does not keep well, but for me that didn't matter as I would have eaten it all long before thinking of keeping any. Definitely try to tick this box on your list, you'll be glad you did.

A lovely callback to the classic, one assumes! The shop was fantastic fun on a pouring rainy day. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and quick. The queue does not reflect their speed, as the doors are just a bit narrow as it’s a very old building.

Tasty, needed to go back for some more after trying it. Long queue but move fast. Daffodil garden and Wordworth family graves are nearby. Recommend to sit down and enjoy the gingerbread with the coffee at Grasmere Tea Garden, nice view and flat white!

This is such a quaint, iconic place and must see in Gracemere. The gingerbread is delicious as well as the dairy milk chocolate with ginger bits and affordable price too. The chocolate with pumpkin spice was my least favourite and for acquired taste. The queue is long and no shleter when it's raining. There is no seating area, which would've enhanced the positive experience. Nonetheless, I would visit again.

Smells incredible as you walk up to it. Cute little shop, nice to know the history behind it. However, very small inside, barely enough room for more than one couple at a time. Doesn't give much opportunity to browse products when there's a queue of people waiting to come in. Glad I saw this but wouldn't hurry back. Gingerbread taste delicious though.

We’re not huge fans of gingerbread in general, but having heard so much about this famous one, we had to try it. And it didn’t disappoint! It was very decadent, soft, not too overpowering ginger flavour, a mix between biscuit and cake. A must try if you’re in the area.

Our recent fourth visit to the Lake House was another wonderful experience. Some 'hick ups' were immediately handled with kindness and sincerity. Guest care and comfort is first and foremost at the Lake House. Connor, the manager, is a rare individual, with exceptional guest experience at the heart of what he offers. His team are a joy and delight to be around. Thank you all so very much for taking such great care of us.

I booked a room at the lake house to celebrate my mums 60th bday (girls trip). I can't recommend enough this beautiful, tranquil hotel. Everything about lake house was magical, the surroundings, staff, jetty spa and food. I highly recommend this beautiful place to anyone who are looking to disconnect from busy life and recharge your souls batteries.

We recently eloped at the Gilpin Lake House (the "You & Me" wedding option to be exact), and I honestly couldn't have scripted a more perfect experience. The venue staff were phenomenal throughout the day and the setting had me lost for words. We stayed at the nearby Gilpin Hotel (reviewed elsewhere) so the event was entirely stress-free, intimate, and romantic - just as we had hoped. Unreservedly recommended.

Beautiful setting for a special Christmas afternoon tea. The staff were kind, friendly and attentive. The food was amazing and the setting couldn't have been more perfect we felt instantly relaxed.

The roughly 1 mile drive down to this wonderful building is interesting if you're not used to country lanes. The journey however is worth it. Amazing place by a gorgeous tarn. The staff for my visit were top notch. So friendly and helpful.

Wonderful weekend in the Lake house with closest friends. Staff were fantastic and very attentive. The rooms were lovely, especially the lodges which were amazing. Beautiful time of the year to go in Autumn. The food was beautiful and it was great having the chef's speak to us about the meal.

Needs to experienced. Place screams old money 💰 such an idyllic place with unbelievable view in the middle of nature.

We had a fabulous experience at The Apple Pie Cafe. Firstly, we bought a portion of Bath Bun & a large custard pie from the bakery. Then we went to the cafe , where the staff were friendly & engaging. The food they brought out was faultless. The pastry on the pasty just melted & the ingredients tasted moist & tender. The salads were fresh, crisp & juicy. The apple pie sundae was excellent, with fresh cream, mixed spice & sultanas. We really enjoyed our experience there.

Absolutely chucked it down so we were looking for a bit of shelter. There was a bit of a queue outside this place so we thought it must be good, we only had to wait a few minutes and were then offered a table outside under one of the heated pergolas. It was a great atmosphere despite the rain and the lunch and service were top class. We took some treats away with us and there was loads to choose from Plumbread to Rocky Road. Definitely worth a visit!

After seeing the reviews we mainly went for the bakery or we thought we were gonna go for the bakery but on arrival we found out they also got a restaurant. The menu was really good and they had a lot of options so we ended up ordering quite a few things of menu . As plenty of review suggested that we should go for the apple pie which we did and to say the least we weren’t disappointed. It was really nice chill atmosphere and the service was really good. Food was on the table on time. We didn’t have to wait that long. The orange juice was fresh and very tasty, better than your shop bought. I went for the spiced apple pie with custard and it was banging !!

Stopped for breakfast. The vegan breakfast option(s?l were limited, but what I had, the masala beans was excellent. It was nice to find a vegan dish that didn't feel like an afterthought (Eg, No dodgy vegan sausages!). Perfect breakfast setting me up for the days walk. Thank you.

Had a nice lunch and drink here! Very nice ciabatta, sausage roll and special orange hot choc! Plenty of seating. Toilet facilities are ok except they are up a thin flight of stairs which isn't very accessible

Staff brilliant. Breakfast poor and expensive considering it dosent even come with bacon. The sausage was burnt on one side and the other side was anemic as for the poached eggs. All 4 were hard and dry. This is the second time I've eaten here and this time unfortunately will be my last. On a positive note the actual shop food is fantastic.

Great bakery selling delicious cakes and pastries etc, so I had to buy a few items including a plain apple pie (they also do spiced). You can buy slices if you prefer. We then went to the cafe which is next door and had lunch. Great selection of baguettes, wraps etc. I finished it off with a generous slice of apple pie with custard (ice cream and cream options also available). Friendly staff, clean tables, prompt service. Definitely worth a visit. Large car park nearby.

It was a good place for a coffee stop on our way up north to the lakes. Excellent selection of baked goods and cakes. We were more than happy with our coffee and quiet seat by the window in the bakery as the café part of the shop was very busy.

Despite the horrendous weather on the day of our visit, our mood was lifted by the great service at this establishment. The coffee, hot chocolate, scones and toasties were a delight and reasonably priced considering the quality of the establishment. We look forward to a return visit in better weather!

Visited this place with my family, had a amazing breakfast. The staff were all welcoming and fantastic. All their food was tasty, fresh and organic. Amazing vegan options too. Special shoutout to Marina for giving us exceptional service!!

Probably the best bakery I have been to anywhere. All local ingredients and recipes, huge list of teas from all parts of the world. I had never heard of half the cakes they had, but the Cumberland rum Nicky was fantastic and I will be trying to bake one soon. Also superb prices - around £6-7 for freshly made excellent cake.

Popped into Hazelmere cafe for a well deserved break. We had an amazing cappuccino with homemade fresh sandwiches 🥪 😋 very busy but a great service. Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful.

This is a cracking café serving a decent range of food. Locateded in the lovely Grange Over Sands, just 60 seconds walk from the little train station, and a five min walk from the main high street. The café adjoins a top notch bakery where you can buy the best cakes in the area. You should certainly call in if visiting the area. Parking is a bit of a challenge.

We visited here for lunch with our dog, following a lovely walk across the promenade. The staff were all friendly, attentive, and professional. Our food was hot, delicious, and beautifully presented. We chose the ham and cheese toasties, myself with a small soup, and my husband chose chips. Our coffee and half scone with jam was equally delicious. The surroundings are first class, spotlessly clean using high-quality ingredients and crockery. Highly recommend. It's a rare find..they are exceptional. Thank you team.

We tried the halloumi avocado toast, but it wasn’t really our favorite as the halloumi was fried and a bit heavy. On the other hand, the garlic truffle mushroom dish was absolutely delicious! We also ordered a pot of tea, which was nice and comforting. The service was friendly and attentive, which made the overall experience enjoyable

Lovely eatery, lovely staff and very tasty food. Only area I would suggest an improvement would the loo. Too small for comfort. But other than that would recommend for a flvourful lunch.

Had I not checked on Google Maps, I'd have never even known this place was here. But after walking from Troutbeck to Ambleside, my mum and I had a look around a few shops, then decided to find somewhere that had gluten-free options. After browsing over a couple, we decided on the Copper Pot. When we arrived, we noticed a couple queueing for a table, which must be a good sign! It wasn't long at all, before we were seated and taking in our surroundings. The place is super cosy with the slate interior wall, the lighting, the music and general atmosphere, all which made for an amazing experience. There was a fab selection of cakes available, including chocolate stout cake, coconut, carrot and pineapple cake, a peanut butter cake and a few others, along with some gluten free options including courgette and avocado cake and orange and almond cake, both which looked amazing! The drinks we had were awesome, especially my hot chocolate whereby I could choose my preferred cocoa strength. My mum decided on the courgette and avocado cake (don't know it until you try it), while I chose the coconut, carrot and pineapple cake. Quite a combination of flavours, but they worked very well! I could certainly taste the coconut, along with hints of pineapple. Super moist and delicious from the first bite, right to the very last! I also loved the cutlery we got, which were spades as spoons! Altogether, this came to a little over £16 which I think is fantastic value for money. The service was also great, and the young lady who served us was very pleasant from start to finish. We will, without a doubt, certainly be coming back here when we next visit Ambleside. Well worth a visit!!!!

I ordered veg breakfast, waffles and biscoff brownie. I must say all of them were fab. I havent had a tastier veg breakfast in last 15 years in London. A must try if you are in Ambleside.

Lovely staff, great selection on the menu and the food and coffee were delicious and well presented. My wife and I both had the waffles with bacon & maple syrup and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend this café.

amazing!! delicious and warm, with the best service. had a lovely morning brunch here. the ambiance was lovely and comforting as well ~~

My new favorite in the lake district! Cosy, rustic and warm welcome. Great coffee, amazing selection of cakes, some of the nicest I've had. Delicious Avocado and halloumi on sourdough. Thank you 😊 🙏 highly recommend

I highly recommend No. 44 Cafe to anyone looking for exceptional food and drinks in a cozy setting. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their delicious offerings! This cafe has definitely earned a special place in my heart.

Stopped here for lunch and wouldn’t recommend. We were a group however all ordered quite small plates and it was a 40 minute wait. When arriving the baguettes were average and the Spinach & Garlic soup was an ‘acquired taste’ that we were not too sure about. However it may be nice for a little coffee if passing as there’s seats outside.

Been here a couple of times before for breakfast. Flatric and Madge decided to treat us to scones, clotted cream, raspberry jam and hot drinks. The cream and jam come in liittle glass jars. With hindsight I recommend two of each per scone. The scones are very good and quite large so each half deserves that little bit of extra luxury. £15.50 for one tea, one coffee plus the two scones, cream and jam. The little pots are £1 each so an extra £4 would be recommended.

Absolutely loved our lunch here. Lovely staff, lovely food, can’t complain. Highly recommend! The side salad was beautiful

Lovely place - food is excellent and so too is the service. Really good choice of food accommodating different diets - as a coeliac there was so much to choose from! Would definitely come again.

Really lovely wee cafe with a vegan menu!! Food was yummy and they even boxed it up for me to take away when I couldn't manage it all. I had a flat white with soya milk and it came with a wee home made vegan biscuit too. All in all a lovely little place that was open on Easter Monday ☺️ A bit small on the inside if you're still feeling a bit overwhelmed by people after covid. And you can't see any of the cakes before ordering (which is quite unusual). Staff are friendly and will come if you speak up to get their attention when it's busy. On the pricy side for us, but maybe that's standard pricing around these parts 🤷 All in all, a nice visit with parking outside on street free for 1 hour.

Myself and a group of four, called in for lunch, which was delightful, I had the Chicken & Chorizo salad bowl which was beautifully presented, with a delicious mix of salad, just excellent!

What a great find, a genuine old tea and coffee house, evidently a merchant’s house from way back. The shop with its enormous selection of teas and coffees is what you come in to first, with more gifts and merchandise up a few stairs out the back. Then if you’re lucky enough to get a table in the cafe, that’s up more stairs but well worth the climb for those of us who can make it. The building itself is a real feature, with creaking old patched together timber floors and timber beams. It meanders upwards for about three or four storeys. If only the building could speak, there would be tales to tell from over the centuries! We stopped for afternoon tea and had a selection of decaf tea, matcha, Americano coffee and hot chocolate with a couple of pastries from the display case in the shop. Best almond croissant ever, plump and soft with delicious filling. Heartily recommended for stocking up on teas and coffees and a repast to enliven the traveller! Find my travel books on Amazon - look for Apple Island Wife.

A Kendall must see. It's an amazing building that has been Farrers since c1819, and I reckon it's not changed much in that time. It's multi layered and not wheelchair suitable, but has outside seating. I'd recommend the coffee, particularly their #1 blend. The brownie was also excellent. A big shout out to the staff as well. Dog friendly to boot.

An old-worldy tea shop and cafe. Came here with family the place has character with its decor and origional features of the building giving at a wonky feel. Dogs are allowed in the upstairs seating areas. Although I was able to sit in with crutches there is space outside for those unable to manage the stairs. The food was delicious i had the sausage which was a proper Cumberland sausage. There is also a menu of their current specials with vegan options

If you're heading North up to Scotland or down South, & you are in need of a break & refreshment, then only 10 minutes of the M6, in the centre of Kendal, is this remarkable historical establishment. The choice of Coffee or Tea, is mind boggling! & The food is just Outstanding! The warm Treacle Toast, with butter & jam, OMG! Unbelievably good. I'd give this 6 venue stars if I could. Plus it's Dog friendly, too. ☺️

Found myself looking for refreshment in Kendal and will always prefer a tea room if I can find one. This one did not disappoint. Full of Olde Worlde charm (exposed wood beams etc) and everything you would expect from an authentic tea room experience. Staff super helpful and managed to find a table in spite of what was clearly a busy service. Menu was varied and interesting, and the order came to the table in good time (considering the previously mentioned busy service) I had the Cumberland sausage swirl in a bun, a round of sourdough toast with marmalade (couldn't decide so I had both), washed down with a cup of Earl Grey tea. All was absolutely delicious. The shop on the premises so that you could buy some of what you tried ( but sadly not the sausage) was a nice touch. Would definitely consider this a highlight of my Kendal visit and would return given the opportunity.

We visited Farrers Tea & Coffee House during our trip to the Lake District, and we had such a lovely experience. The place has a warm and cosy atmosphere, and the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. A special thank you to Joe and Chloe for their exceptional service. Joe greeted us when we came in and made us feel instantly at ease, explaining the menu and helping us find suitable options. When we sat down, Chloe took our order and was so patient as we decided what to have. As a visibly Muslim couple, we really appreciated how considerate she was — she made sure our food was prepared carefully to avoid any contamination with pork or alcohol. It’s rare to come across such thoughtful and attentive service. The food was great, the coffee was lovely, and the experience overall was excellent. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area!

Our first visit to this wonderful cafe. I can safely say it is on our regular to do list. The Apple Cake, freshly baked that day was some of the best cake I have had and I consider myself a cake expert being a cyclist. The coffee was also excellent. Last but not least the staff were some of the friendliest and welcoming staff I have had the pleasure of meeting - thank you

We love this place so much, always dine here a couple of times when we’re visiting the Lakes. It’s not a fancy restaurant, but serves very consistently good traditional Greek dishes. Booking recommended as they get busy!

Whole lut for a walk on the very rainy day in July, me and mu daughter visited this restaurant,hoping for positive experience(she had read opinions on the website). We were extremely disappointed with the order and the way it was served. Primitive and everything seemed to come from supermarket. Awful, never again. I consider paying the bil a sign od support for the Staff , they were so nice. Absolutely do not recommend it. That's probably why three were no customer.

What a fantastic fabulous restaurant The decor has been beautifully done Staff are fabulous And the chef is fantastic Enjoyed the evening there We had a few drinks and tapas And a chicken pitta All excellent Will definitely be back Thank you all 😊😊

Highly recommend Thyme Out! The husband and myself travel to visit here on a regular basis and have always had a 5 star experience! The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Food is fantastic, lots of choice and high quality. Restaurant is clean and welcoming. Make sure you leave room for a cake! We will be back again very soon!

We were visiting Cartmel and on our way back home and changed the train at Grange-over-Sands. While waiting for the next train, we decided to have a quick lunch in town. Then we walked past this cosy friendly cafe restaurant. When the orders arrived on the table, I knew we chose the right place... The Greek salad was so good, it takes me straight back to the holiday in Greece. The sausage was so tasty, every dish we ordered was delicious and authentic which I didn't expect when we walked in.... I will definitely recommend this place if you ever visit Grange-over Sands. Unfortunately, I forgot to take some good photos of the dishes that we ordered. I will definitely return again.

We were unfamiliar with the area and so stumbled upon Thyme Out by accident, but I’m really pleased that we did. From the very warm reception and exceptional service from Lucy (I think?!), to the chef popping out to chat with us (she was lovely too!) and ask if we liked the food, everything was perfect! I love Greek food, and this was by far the best I’ve tasted, outside of Greece/Southern Cyprus. The menu provided an excellent choice without being overwhelming; I’m always a bit suspicious when there are too many options, and we could tell this was all freshly prepared. Nothing was too much trouble and Lucy was brilliant at suggesting substitutes for my partner so that he could still enjoy the meze. In fact, she was so knowledgeable, we left our choices to her! We were too full for dessert but we took the Baklava home, and oh my, was it delicious! We will definitely return when we are next in the Lakes; meanwhile, thank you very much ladies for a fabulous evening 🤗

Just managed to book a table as it was so busy. The food was excellent (gyros pitta) and after seeing the cakes we had to have the carrot cake which was the best Carrott we've ever had. Superbly looked after by a young lady. Even better is that it is dog friendly. A real "must go to" If you're in the area.

Had a first class lunch here. The buzz in the cafe is entertaining, too. Lovely people, doing a great job.

Great place for lunch. Generous portions. Friendly staff. Recommend Wensledale as one of fillings for omelette.

We stopped around 2:30 for lunch. We got a smiling reception and good service. We had a very nice omelette and a very nice panini. The coffee was good too. We'll definitely come again. Sedberg is a nice little town so worth a visit. Handy parking for the restaurant.

Visiting the area, had the Chicken, Brie and Cranberry sandwich and it was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend, staff were lovely and lots of options. Had the smoothie too which was tasty.

A brilliant find for lunch or an afternoon snack (and other meals, I'm sure) - a warm welcome in a fully Covid safe environment (more careful about this than most places) and a very extensive and reasonably priced menu. The meal was tasty and very well presented. The atmosphere was friendly, busy, genteel, and efficient all at the same time. I would definitely call in again, were I to be passing through Sedbergh again.

Yesterday, I sat in the heart of London’s Mayfair watching the Ferraris, Bentleys and Rolls cruise by (and kind of laughed at the nonsense). And 24 hours later I’m in a Lakeland cafe eating beans on toast and the best ham and chutney sandwich I could wish for. Talk about the sublime to the ridiculous! Smatt’s nails its cafe brief. The soft white ‘barm’(read ‘bun’ my southern friends) was fresh and the homemade ham salty and chutney, delicious. The beans on toast. I don’t know how, but they weren’t too sweet - just right and savoury. Washed down with Yorkshire tea. A million miles from Mayfair but right at the heart of what I wanted. If you want to blend into the crowd, wear walking gear. If not, relax, it’s easy.

We really enjoyed a delicious lunch here yesterday, Lasagne with Chips and side salad and a Cheeseburger with Chips all perfect and very reasonable

Such a cute little cafe and a joy to find fully vegan places to eat. We were amazed by the quality of food immediately ordering milkshakes when sitting down which were heavenly. I ordered the moving mountains burger which was cooked and presented beautifully, after trying someone else's Yorkshire pudding I immediately ordered just an entire plate of them with gravy they are the greatest things on the planet and I will return again just for the Yorkshire puddings. All homemade and I'd pay for the recipe. We left with some cakes (not pictured as they were devoured instantly). Would definitely recommend and we would be willing to travel all the way just to eat here.

Fantastic Sunday lunches. Just what we were after. The veg was fresh and not over-cooked at all. We had a Moroccan style rice roast, and the rosemary 'meat' slices. Both delicious. The cafe was busy but quick service. Another good reason to visit Keswick 🙂

Delicious vegan roast dinner, as well as great drinks, we had hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows and a matcha latte, all perfect. Cute interior and really good service. It's a must if your a vegan visiting the lakes ☕🗻

Great service with a friendly team of staff and excellent and broad vegan menu! We loved the burgers, mac'n'cheeze, soup accompanied by some delicious smoothies and coffees! Had we not enjoyed the mains so much, we would have bought a slice of homemade cake which looked fab. We also noticed that Kat's has a selection of plant-based products to buy, such as cheeses, meat substitutes and chocolate.. in case you run out while you're away!

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here on a recent trip to Keswick. The Yorkshire puddings were especially well made, and Kat was kind enough to come and chat to me about how she made them, as I was very curious, having had plenty of problematic vegan Yorkies over the years. A charming cafe with tasty grub and friendly staff, what more could you ask for?

Most amazing vegan food I have ever had. The tofu was out of this world. Went twice in one day as I had to go back in the afternoon for coffee and cake 1000% recommend. The staff were lovely also

Had the Sunday Roast and it was amazing. Haven’t had a roast in link 8 years since going vegan and this was delicious. Had the rosemary and garlic “meat”. It was particularly good.

The jacket potato was perfect. Sadly, there is no photo of my gluten-free lemon cake, but believe me, it was lemony and delicious.

Very popular cafe serving breakfast & lunch , tasty food, fast and friendly service, would recommend highly.

Called here on a 7th June on a very, very wet Saturday on our way up to Keswick, absolute gem. My husband and I were soaking wet, two dripping dogs and we were welcomed inside regardless. "Never mind the drips " we were told, "they mop up". Lively breakfast and biscuits for the dogs, we were so relieved to be in out of the rain. Really friendly and very welcoming, thank you all.

Came in to a busy cafe so expected good things, unfortunately its just the coffee which was good, can't say the same for food or service. A lady came to take our order and made it very clear she would only take our drinks order even though we knew our food options. A second waitress took our food order and she said they don't offer swaps when I requested to swap a mushroom for a tomato. Some establishments don't allow swaps which is fine, but when the lady on the table next to us ordered from the first waitress as we were leaving, she seemed to have no issue making changes to her order which was very frustrating. When the food arrived my mother had ordered the American pancakes with maple syrup and bacon. She received 1 piece of bacon across 3 pancakes which seems rather stingy. I had opted for the small vegetarian breakfast and was disappointed too, the hash brown was about half the size of the frozen ones you can buy in the supermarket and the tomato was mildly cooked and completely tasteless. It seems evident that nothing is made in the kitchen and the cheapest ingredients are used. My mother also believed the pancakes were shop bought. Given the poor quality of ingredients, the rest of the items were cooked (reasonably well) and they can poach an egg.

Best customer service we've ever received. Very attentive staff. They went out their way to welcome our dog providing water, a blanket and a biscuit. Really delicious food too! We'd recommend the pulled pork Yorkshire wrap and bacon brie panini.

Good food. Amazing service, one of the best service that we ever had. The staff were welcoming and attentive. Lovely seating area upstairs and outside. Great overall.

Great coffee and food in a really friendly environment. The breakfasts are really good in both quality and value. Could hardly be more dog friendly as they brought us water, a biscuit and a mat for our black Labrador to sit on. The toilets are clean and pleasant

A truly great little bakery in Ambleside. The cauliflower and onion bhaji pasties are delicious, as are the cherry and almond croissants. If you're feeling peckish, then pop in and grab some of their delicacies!

The croissants are truly amazing and come in fun and creative flavors like pistachio, cherry-almond or even Shakshuka! Also the scones are very strong so I'd recommend grabbing a few pastries and then enjoy them throughout the day. Lovely service as well!

I had the most lovely visit to the bakery this afternoon. The city was starting to quiet down as shops closed, so I rushed in hoping I could grab a quick decaf mocha before they too closed. So when I nervously asked “are you still open?” I was greeted with a warm smile and assurance that they were still open. I ordered my coffee, a small traditional hand pie, and a slice of carrot cake. The gentleman behind the counter (I’m sorry I forgot your name! Tall, dark hair) carefully packaged up my food, and took his time making my coffee. When I left the shop I took my first sip and was absolutely blown away by the flavor. It was quite possibly one of the best mochas I’ve ever had. And the food was just as good! The pie was warm and flaky, with just the right amount of stuffing. And the carrot cake had a lovely rich flavor and not too sweet. My hotel is nowhere near this shop, but I’m sorely tempted to go out of my way tomorrow to sample the rest of their baked goods!😅

This is our favourite place for fresh pastries in the Lake District. The service is always friendly. The coffee is always tasty. Pastries are super fresh and made regularly throughout the day. I wish they will have more sitting space inside. If you are pastries fan this is your place. Great also for grab and go. I will definitely recommend. We are always coming there when we travelling around the Lake District and actually looking forward.

Very friendly welcoming service from the two ladies that were working here yesterday morning! Great that they open early! Me and my colleague were in Ambleside for a workshop, staying at the uni, who unfortunately don't offer catered accommodation... so we really appreciated the availability of fantastic coffee and pasties - and the price was very reasonable! Everything was clearly freshly baked on-site as we saw the pasties being taken out of the oven and brought into the front to be put on display...

We visited here recently, going out of our way to sample the Cornish Pasties! They were very nice, however, if we had one recommendation it would be that they mixed the fillings together more as it was like we were eating two separate pasties in one (a veg and a meat) other than that we would still recommend. See picture.

Four of us were hoping for coffee and a light lunch and three people at the (only) table in the window, seeing we were looking for a table, said we could occupy their seats, as they had finished eating and were leaving. We had already been told there was no room upstairs. When we asked if an extra seat could be added, the waiter who came to clear the table, could not have been more unfriendly and unhelpful. He dismissed our polite request with a brusque refusal. We felt totally unwelcome, left and found the warmest of receptions and great service at the Apple Pie further down the road. Please to ensure sure that the serving staff are more familiar with the basic rules of hospitality and who are flexible-minded enough to offer reasonable solutions to seating when the place is full.

Great little spot to pick up a coffee, sandwich or cakey treat! Glad it’s reopened and it also now has a nice bright clean look. Reasonable prices and very friendly. Deffo support this local business if in the area. The Rocky Road is the BEST I’ve had!

Just had the chipotle chicken sandwich and loved it! The bread was extra delicious. Excellent service in the shop & sandwich was made fresh while I waited. Highly recommended!

I got the Red Pike Ciabatta, which was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. Decent portion size for the price. Nice friendly staff, will definitely be visiting again 😁

We saw this place on our way into town coming from Grasmere and thought it looked modern and cute at the same time. Today we had the pleasure of trying the ‘fell walker’ ciabatta sandwich and the ‘salty dog’ crisps and it is the best tuna melt/sandwich I’ve ever had. I’m very pleased it opens at 8 am as I shall be coming back on Friday before heading south! The service was also great, the lady in the counter and the lovely chef at the back were local, polite and very friendly :)! Hasta pronto chicos!

Lovely fresh tuna sweetcorn sandwich, fresh barm cake and salad. Very clean cafe.

Stopped at the picnic box after a wlidcamp last night. So glad we did. The sandwiches are amazing, we had egg and bacon/bacon and sausage on Ciabbata. Absolutely beautiful food. Ty very much x

Nothing better than a freshly made sarnie for your walk on the trails, had the hummus and red pepper with rocket, absolutely delicious! Staff are really helpful and happy to wait for you to stop drooling over the menu. Highly recommend this great shop for your picnics.

Tucked away on the east side of Branthwaite Brow toward Kent Street and beside the jewellers, lies this hidden gem of an independent coffee shop—'Marra' which means friend in Northern dialect, the establishment is accessed through a charming ye-olde-worlde passageway. We had English breakfast tea, a slice of carrot cake, and a flat white—and everything was wonderful. What also made it special, was the setting. In the principal first-floor room, we marvelled at the exposed 16th-century roof timbers which had halved overlapping purlin members and a vernacular ridge arrangement and principal ridge beans—clearly assembled from reused timbers spanning different centuries. A real treat for lovers of old architecture. There’s also an outdoor niche by the entrance, covered and cosy, and another partly covered courtyard where everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves—sipping coffee and soaking in the atmosphere. We’ll most definitely be recommending it—and we’ll certainly be back when in town again. One recommendation is though for the coffee to be hotter as mine was not hot enough but otherwise it was good. Thank you, Lyndon, Peter & Sandy the dog.

So easy to miss the entrance to this excellent coffee shop. Great choice of cakes and pastries to go with the mid morning flat white. Highly recommended.

Marra is a fantastic spot and could be easy to miss, but absolutely worth finding. Staff were warm and welcoming, and the outdoor seating is a real highlight, which was perfect for our sunny lunch. Flatbread and sandwich were both excellent, despite being a slightly smaller portion than expected. It wouldn't put us off going back. A lovely place with great food, great vibes, and excellent service. Highly recommended!

With its delicious food using fresh ingredients and friendly & courteous staff, Marra has become our favorite restaurant in Kendal. I have a sensitive gluten intolerance; my husband does not have any food sensitivities. Both of us have enjoyed all the food (with and without gluten) and drinks we’ve had at Marra.

Food was lovely lovely outside eating area perfect for us with our dog and there was a choice of in the sun or shaded staff were nice and friendly

Had a lovely lunch here. Melazane with sourdough sticks, lovely Cajun chicken pizza and then coffee with beetroot brownies. Very friendly staff. Fantastic old building.

The Italian inspired food is perfect, I really love the home made flat bread used in the sandwiches. It was soft and crunchy, perfect balance of flavours & garnishing, and the complimentary dipping oils are the icing on the cake.

Brilliant place for a cuppa. We stopped here on a journey from Newcastle for a break. So glad that we did. Lovely laid back atmosphere and the food was great. Nothing too much trouble for the staff. They were so kind to everyone and they seemed to be enjoying the work which makes a huge difference. Liked the local art and clocks on the walls to look at too!

We arrived early to be sure of getting a table, as on this occasion we had not booked in advance. There are also a couple of tables available outside at the front. As always, the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The menu is extensive and the quality of food is always exceptional. Scones (large selection of flavours) are baked freshly on the premises every day. There is a very good selection of delicious homemade cakes too.....particularly the lemon drizzle cake (which I only discovered today is the recipe of Si King aka Hairy Biker). The homemade sausage roll is also another delight. Their afternoon tea is excellent value and during Covid we had many takeaway afternoon teas, to help support the business through this difficult time. They also offer a takeaway service.

What a friendly little café! I pulled over to get a drink from the Co-Op but saw this place so I'd rather support local business instead. I can recommend the homemade scones and the sausage baguette. One staff member in particular was kind and generous when they heard that I was doing the Round Britain Rally on my bike. The small things make a difference. Thanks very much.

My girlfriend and I are here on Holiday from Denmark, to visit friends, and we must say that both us and our friends are absolutely in love with this place. Such a cute cozy place, with lovely food and very sweet staff. Nothing but nice things to say ❤️

Lovely little cafe, piled high with very tasty looking cakes/scones! Unfortunately didn’t try any but had a couple of sandwiches to take away. They were lovely, well-priced and made very quickly. The staff were really kind and gave a little treat to my dog too. Thank you! 🥰

Housed in the former Warwick bridge post office is a great little cafe called Sally’s. They have a wide selection of tea and coffee and a menu that caters for any visitor. Staff are very welcoming and efficient. Love the decor. You definitely won’t leave here feeling hungry. Throughly recommend this place to everyone 10/10 for food and service

Stopped here for a pot of tea and a cake, well that's not strictly true. We stopped for the tea and i couldn't resist the look of the cakes when i saw them so they got ordered as well. The tea was really good and the cake was excellent. Sitting at the table in the car park was perhaps a little weird but it was our choice to sit outside so i don't think thats really something to complain about.

Finally somewhere in Coniston that does great coffee - the best in town by a country mile. Very friendly staff and delicious homemade fare. The ciabattas and sausage rolls are excellent, as is the polish special

Fabulous little café in Coniston. Great food and a really friendly guy behind the counter - it makes such a difference when you feel welcome and a part of things. Will make a beeline for here when I'm back in the area and I'd recommend that you do too...

Like all the other post, fantastic sausage rolls. Love the black pudding, wife pork and Apple and kids the plain sausage roll, all home made. Staff great and coffee brilliant. Came back for a second go and even better😀👋👋

A lovely place by the looks of it. Coffee was nice. Waiting literally 15 minutes for it when I ordered a takeaway was definitely not. If you know you are busy and have to serve 10 people at the tables breakfasts before you can get to my two takeaway coffees, please have the decency to say thay it will be a long waiting time and I can make an informed decision rather than waiting around for two cups of coffee...

Good range of sandwiches and coffees, the Halloumi and the Tofu hot Sandwiches were delicious, we visited twice in our week here, no faults thank you!!

Lovely spot cosy and warm friendly staff and delicious food and coffees. Pumpkin spice Brownies and sausage rolls were amazing.

Stopped by to grab some food to take out and fuel us up for hiking. We ordered two americanos, a ham and cheese melt, a bacon, sausage and egg bap and a pork and chorizo sausage roll. The breakfast bap was really good, the cheese and ham melt was okay apart from half of it being a bit hard - but the main reason for my low star rating is because we never received our sausage roll. After taking a bus to our starting place, we opened up the bag given to us at the cafe to take with us realising they hadn't packed the sausage roll. This was a real disappointment, we were really looking forward to trying it and it wasn't cheap either; and we didn't get to have it.
