The Chef reccomendPopped in for coffee and cake, amazing coffee, delicious cakes, lovely atmosphere, they even do gin!! Deffo will be popping back, a new favourite in the area
We enjoyed some really tasty homemade cakes and the flat whites were good (balanced, milk at a drinkable temperature when served and decent microfoam). I would happily go back.
We stopped by after a morning of walking, hoping for a bite to eat and some coffee - we were not disappointed! Soup was delicious, and the sandwiches were equally as tasty and huge! The coffee was of fantastic quality too - would definitely go back!
Quaint cafe, big easy chairs, nice decor. Very friendly attentive staff & is dog friendly. My wife had soup of the day which was beautiful with various types of bread included. I had bacon sandwich which was very large & tasty. We would definitely recommend to watch the world go by in a lovely ambience.
We were out on a rainy afternoon in Bowness. Wanted something a bit above Costa for a coffee and cake. We found Dr Brews. Absolutely delicious, service first class. Highly recommended.
One thing I always look for when visiting somewhere is a decent coffee shop and following some research this is the first place we tried, and boy did it not disappoint! Went for the flat white and the coffee used was a perfect combination of bitter and sweet - had a very unique taste almost like a dark treacle; something I think I had similar around 5+ years ago which I thoroughly enjoyed back then and have been trying to find it again ever since. Had a quick chat with the owner (I think) and was very knowledgeable about the coffees used and also imparted some recipe advice on some of the coffee I bought to try and replicate back at home! Decor wise - really comfy with a steam punk edge (at least to me it looked steam punk) - absolutely fantastic. So in summary, if you are in Bowness and want a "proper" coffee - give Dr Brew's a try!
Lovely friendly coffee shop with very nice homemade cakes and great coffee,great atmosphere in the cafe and what a great quirky rest room a must visit excellent throughout
Georgeous cinnamon and apple cake with coffee. Generous portions. Good hosts and great atmosphere to relax
We called in here today for a mid afternoon drink and snack. We also needed to give our baby her bottle and we saw that they had comfortable seating. The man serving behind the counter gave a warm and friendly greeting and clearly loves what he does. We ordered one of the brownies to share and it was one of the best I have ever had! He also came over with free babycinos for our children which was lovely. We visit Bowness often but have never been in here. We will absolutely be in next time we are in the area!
Great lunch, home made cakes and a great place for respite from a drizzly day Lle arbennig, bwyd yn flasus iawn gyda cacennau hyfryd! Miwsig yn gret hefyd
Only stopped for a coffee but the couple who served us were very friendly and welcoming, Fresh Lemon drizzle cake just out of the oven!! smelt delicious, but unfortunately couldn't manage it after breakfast. Coffee was lovely.
The title says it all. Pastrami with emmental cheese and pickles served warm on crusty bread. What's not to like? Will be calling back when we're next in that neck of the woods.
Great little place to grab a bite to eat and a great Hot Chocolate I’m comfortable surrounds. Lovely staff and great for young kids.
We visited here on NYE, a lovely warm welcome, and a fantastic choice of drink, Loved the decor and would highly recommend this place, will definitely visit again when we return to Bowness on Windermere.
We were in the lakes between Christmas and new year. Stumbled across this place. On the first day we sat outside with our dog. Had two coffees, the amazing bacon roll and the smoke salmon sandwich. Simply excellent. Great tasting food, coffee made with a lot of care. We were staying about 40 miles aware from Windermere. The next day, on our way home, we decided to make the 40 mile d-tour to visit again for our morning coffee. Again, fantastic coffee and simply AMAZING carrot cake. The tiny piece of chocolate brownie (?) served on the side of the coffee was equally as amazing. The owners were super friendly in the coffee shop and couldn't do enough. They asked whether everything was okay and were more than happy to have a little chat. Windermere always lacked the perfect coffee shop. It now has it. Well done! A really credit to its owners. Keep it up!
Great food, great coffee, great music and a friendly welcome. Worth a visit for the chocolate brownies alone. Apparently the Dr Brews playlist is available on Spotify. Will check this out...
Really lovely staff, and excellent hot chocolate. Perfect on a rainy day in Bowness-on-Windermere! Will definitely be returning in the future.
Everything about this place is excellent! The coffee & hot chocolate are fantastic with delicious food and incredible cakes. The banana loaf was particularly great. The owners/staff are so welcoming and make you feel at home. It is also great for kids. We took our 2 year old and 7 month old daughters and they were well looked after with the owners helping with the high chair and also bringing our two year old a baby chino as a little extra. This is our 2nd visit and we will definitely be returning next time we are in the area!
Absolutely fabulous! Great welcome, great coffee....amazing bacon roll! So good we are returning later this week during our week’s holiday. Cannot rate it highly enough. Go on, treat yourself!!!

What a great coffee bar. Best coffee, great blues music and fantastic food. We went in for a coffee in the morning and returned for lunch, it was so good. The bacon roll is the best. The Mrs had a salmon roll which was delicious. The whole menu looked great. And it is important to support local businesses, rather than the huge non tax paying chains.
