Lovely little cafe in fantastic location looking straight out onto the lake and across to the mountains.
The staff here are really friendly and welcoming, I had a great bacon roll and coffee followed by an amazing ice cream dipped in chocolate!! Thanks again 😁

Absolutely love this little cafe on the banks of Windermere. The coffee is amazing and so are the sweet treats on offer.
Best thing is the bags of bird feed for the local wildlife. My partner had a great morning feeding the ducks after her lovely cappuccino.

Excellent break after walking from three shires stone as part of the Hadrianic Trail. Coffee was better than some others in the area and the Pannini was excellent. I like that the pannini was not overpriced with added stuff you don't want... Fries etc. You order a pannini you get a pannini and a small salad... Perfect.

Beautiful little waterside cafe.
We had the Blueberry Scones, and an Iced Coffee. They were so yummy and delicious. Totally worth the stop!!

Well this may be one of the most beautiful spots around with views of the pier, the lake and the mountains. We came back for more delicious ice-cream, the '99 Special I recall. The service is super.

Cozy place with a beautiful view. Public paying Car park is 2 min away across the road. The sitting area on the outside is better, inside is a bit small. Staff friendly. The blueberry scone with jam and cream very yummy. Usually i would have given 5 star but the brownies were more like spongy. Its just me being picky. Definitely will recommend a visit

A very cozy cafe. The staff looks after you well. Their scones were really fresh and nice. The combination of hot chocolate and scones they offer makes a good deal. Thoroughly enjoyed handmade items on display for sale. They've got a parking just ahead of them as well.

5 star view and good snacks and drinks , also the staff are fantastic and helpful . This is one of the nicest places in the Lake District to sit outside on the terrace and see the lovely Lake and mountains ! Been visiting here for years and never tire of seeing the views.

Fantastic little shop. Great for a quick meal and treat with coffee. Location and view are perfect, and with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Definitely happy we stopped here instead of spending more time and money at a restaurant…freed us up to explore and enjoy the day.
