Lovely people and we recommend the coffee and cakes. Relaxing environment. Would call in again. Waiting staff get tips which we like.

Excellent gluten free

Lovely cafe/tearoom. Lovely friendly staff. Dogs are very welcome and they have a jar of dog treats near the till. Had the nicest ham and cheese toastie I've ever eaten. Would definitely recommend this as a place to grab a drink and some food. Has a couple of tables in the windows which look out over the sea. Definitely going there again when we next visit .Dietary restrictions: If you let the staff know of any dietary restrictions or allergies when you enter they will do their best to accommodate.Parking: There are a couple of spaces out the front and a bit of limited time on street parking but on the Promenade just past the Albion pub is plenty of free parking with no time limit. I think there is also a pay and display just past the tearoom on the left hand side.

What a lovely little tea room, we only popped in for a hot drink but couldn’t resist the cakes too. Really nicely set up and excellent service. Great gluten free options too. Will have to have a proper look at all the gifts properly next time!

This is such a lovely place to visit and the owners are so accommodating and professional. We came here for afternoon tea with friends, having previously visited albeit that time just for tea and cake. Well, it was superb, definitely one of the best afternoon teas we’ve had (and we’ve been through a lot). The food was homemade with decent portions, served on lovely china tableware. In addition the café has beautiful views across the bay (even it was a cold and blustery day when we visited). A visit here is highly recommended.

This was just what I was looking for, a welcoming place, friendly service and great homemade food and made even better with a table out the front looking out over the estuary.

What a wonderful way to spend a sunny winter afternoon - sitting in a window seat with my best friend, watching the world go by and looking at the wonderful view. The brie, ham and cranberry pannini was delicious and the coffee cake decorated with bailey truffles was heavenly. Service was super efficient and friendly and I loved the crockery. I've been looking for somewhere local with great cakes - looks like this could be the place. Will definitely be returning soon.

We have been meaning to visit Arnside since we moved to the North West at the beginning of the year, and finally today we made it. This cafe/gift shop is a must when visiting the area. The toasted panini's were gorgeous, served with crisps, side salad and a delicious homemade coleslaw. Service was brilliant and we chatted to the team and confirmed it is also dog friendly and serves lots and lots of gluten free options, including afternoon tea. The coffee was excellent too, as were the views. We forgot to wander around the gift shop afterwards, there are lots of lovely gift items for all occasions. We will be back very soon, and more often. Thank you again for a lovely lunch and experience.Parking: Street parking and also lots of spaces further along, as far as we were aware it's free street parking. A few disabled reserved spaces on the main promenade tooDietary restrictions: So much gluten free choices, almost everything on the menu can be gluten free, and some of the cakes too. Amazing choice.

Today I had family visiting so went down to buy cakes ( including one gluten free). The lady was so helpful and I bought a variety. The cakes were delicious. Thank you so much.

Popped in for lunch and received a warm welcome. A little crowded as it’s a small tea room. Managed to move to a small table in the window which has lovely views out to sea. The waitress cleared the table of used crockery and removed the paper wrappings however she did not return to wipe clean the table. Ordered a sausage roll which was accompanied by a small portion of coleslaws and a few salad leaves. Rather small for the price and did not compare with the same from Sandpiper along the road. My scone and cup of tea was delicious. The tearoom is quaint and quirky and they’re dog friendly too!
