Coffee Shops in Ambleside

“Fantastic meal, atmosphere and service. I would highly recommend and would love to go back. The profiteroles were heavenly!”

“Discovered this hidden gem in April 2022 and found it so good that we returned twice more within the month and many more times since! The Lakeland Large 'Un full English breakfast is the best I've ever sampled, and I've had quite a few in various places over the years. It comes with everything, including an unusual take on the classic Cumberland "sausage" in the form of a chunky patty. The place itself affords inside and outside seating, is clean and uncluttered, and the staff are refreshingly polite and cannot do enough for you. They even offer cushions and blankets in case it's a little chilly outdoors. Simply the best place for breakfast in Ambleside, if not the whole Lake District!”

“Popped into this cafe whilst on holiday for a spot of lunch, there was a queue which normally would put us off but so glad we did. OMG it was one of the best lunches ever had!!!! How can a simple toastie and salad taste sooooo good, and then there was the apple pie, it was like christmas in your mouth!! If in ambleside you MUST visit the cafe for your lunch, you wont regret it!! Yum yum ?”

“Don’t normally go into Costa in Ambleside, but I really enjoyed my visit today. Sat in the window seats which are bright and spacious.The manager was enthusiastic, happy, polite and very welcoming. In fact the manager made my visit as pleasant as any of the many quality tea rooms in the town.Lovely cup of coffee as nice as any Costa coffee I’ve had before.”

“I came just for coffee, and what I really like is an oat latte. Esquires did a really good job of that. I can't agree about the rude staff, they are really nice!! The queuing to be seated then going back to order is a bit of an awful concept just for a coffee, but I understand why they might do this for larger groups ordering food..”
