The Chef reccomendSuperb friendly,family-run establishment offering a fresh,tasty menu where nothing is too much trouble.
In search of a fry up to aid in the post new year recovery we wandered into Freshers. New year has started with a brilliant decision people! The fry up we got was fantastic!! It even had hot beans! A real rarity I'm fininding these days. The service and hospitality at freshers was second to non. We felt so welcome and although we didn't partake, their selection of cakes looked wonderful. All clearly home made with care and attention. Finally their quiche!! The quiche to end-all quiches! Thank you to those at freshers.
just popped late in the day and enjoyed a quiche jacket potato salad and quiche was best I have ever had really friendly staff will come back and try the good looking cakes which were on offer
Fantastic hospitality to match the fabulous food & drink. The quiche is exceptional and the best homemade cake selection.
A gem of a cafe, peacefully away from the tourist trade. Convenient location, snug, informal, friendly, engaged and, best of all, terrific food and cheerfully open! Quiche, fresh from the oven, delicious on Boxing Day, but too well fed to tackle the scrumptious array of cakes. A low key outing made totally enjoyable with such a warm welcome. Many thanks.
Proper Northern Hospitality. Was recommended by some ladies I met on the ferry. Great soup and scones, all the staff are ridiculously friendly, and reasonable price for a relatively touristy area.
Great start to the day I really enjoyed the bacon, cooked to perfection Ideal start to the day Also great coffee
Warm, friendly and helpful staff who did a great sales job on a fresh out of the oven quiche lorraine. It didn’t need much selling and didn’t disappoint as it was a huge portion full of onions, cheese and top quality bacon with a great pastry base. With salad for £5.50! First visit and on the basis of the fantastic quiche alone we will be back. Get there early as the quiche we ate sold out in about 15 minutes
We were traveling uo to Keswick from the Midlands and decided to stop off in Ambleside for a coffee and bite to eat. I'd been wanting to visit Fresher's for a while after reading such good reviews, we weren't disappointed. Very friendly staff, good coffee and the best slice of quiche I'd ever tasted. There is parking very close by, £1.50 for minimum stay which was more than ample time. Can highly recommend a visit.
5 family members, a dog and a baby all stopped by here on the off chance of passing whilst on our holidays in the Lake District. Thought it would be a run of the mill cafe but as soon as we were greeted the staff made us at home, created such a warm and inviting atmosphere and made arrangements for the dog and pram to be with us. We all enjoyed our toasties, soups, cakes and coffees. The food was fresh and not scrimped on. The staff had been chatting to my sister about it being our dads birthday the day before and they kindly brought out a lemon drizzle cake and candle to continue the celebrations with us. We all left feeling incredibly looked after by the friendly and attentive staff and if we are ever back on holiday this way again I would certainly go back! :)
Visited this Lovely Cafe on the 1st Day it opened. Delighted with the Friendly Staff, Gorgeous Homemade Hot or Cold Food and Drinks to either 'Eat inside' at the tables in the cafe, or sit out on the Courtyard that also has Tables & Chairs. Food & Drink can also be put into containers to 'Take Away'. My wife who uses a 'small manual wheelchair' also had use of the Toilet that's for Fresher's Cafe Customers. *she's able to Walk a few paces from her wheelchair that was left inside of the cafe near to the toilet Door. Nothing is too much trouble when asking for anything on the Varied Menu and even Water and Biscuits are provided for Customers Dogs. We 100% Highly Recommend this Cafe to Anyone.
Found this cafe on Saturday whilst on a walk to Ambleside centre from Waterhead. Sweet little place, very busy which can only be a good sign. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Good food. Recommended****
This little gem has been there for 2.5 yrs and I had passed by it. But decided to pop in. Staff very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was fresh and well presented. Will be going back when next up in Ambleside.
Dropped by as we we were passing after a walk with our dog. We were invited in, complete with dog, by a very polite young waiter. Extremely friendly. Great value food in cosy surroundings. Good hearty food, and big mugs of tea. Just wat was needed on a cool November lunch time. The cakes looked very yummy too!
What a great little cafe. Friendly staff, great food. Wife had the quiche Lorraine. I had a fantastic tuna toastie.
Amazing quiche lorraine and such a friendly welcoming cafe, even with your 4 legged friend. I would definitely recommend Fresher's
If you are looking for great home cooked food, served by people who are genuinely happy to see you then go no further than this place and dont forget to pick up a ring scone for the walk in the hills.
very good caring staff with wonderful service. Food was amazingly tasty. I love the jacket potato and the tomato soup. Couldn’t recommend more!
My wife, dog and I went for breakfast here on a weekend break in the lakes and from being very warmly welcomed on entering to leaving, the experience was very pleasant. Gluten free requests were accommodated with no hesitation and the food was great! Highly recommended!
