Come here for food instead of the hotels on the high street. Lovely service, great food and amazing views. Not to mention the fact that it's off the road so you get a bit of peace and quiet! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating area and dog friendly as well!
Lovely cafe with indoor and outdoor seating which is off the main road. It’s dog friendly and staff are welcoming and friendly.
Marked down a star because how expensive the food is - such as £10 for a jacket potato with 1 topping. The service was also a little slow on that day but we weren’t in a rush.
This was a nice cafe. We didn't have a meal, just a coffee and cake. The coffee was really nice.
The cafe itself has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and if you have a dog, they are welcomed - even have their own biscuits!
Delicious and well presented food, friendly, bubbly, cheerful staff, with a great food selection to choose from. The menu is a little expensive, but the quality of the food and staff really are reflective in the price. It's a dog friendly café, with a kids menu, that gives a 10% discount for cyclists, and is open on a Tuesday, which seems to go against the local flow of other eateries in the area. Fabulous experience, happy tongues, happy tummy's, happy smiles. Would return (wallet allowing). 4.8 stars 🤩
A great cup of coffee with gluten-free options for cake etc. Friendly staff. There are also a wide selection of gifts and souvenirs that are reasonably priced. And well behaved dogs are welcome too.
Very cute place.
Proper dog friendly, beautiful cakes and really good coffee.
Very cosy , warm and welcoming
I would have written this review initially just for food & hospitality - a cute cafe with comfy vibes. Cakes were fresh & delicious. I had visited them twice in a row for the cakes. They do brunch (both veg & non-veg options too).
But its not yet another cafe in Coniston - I left behind my purse with quite alot of valuables & the kind staff not only just kept it safely for two days but helped in dispatching it back to me :)
Do we still have such kindness around ? I am just very deeply moved with this token of gratitude shown by the staff in the cafe.
Can't recommend this cafe enough. Please do visit them. This small business with such strong values catered & rooted in your business is going long way. Rooting for them & its gonna be a pit stop for every summer Lake district trip.
Thanks again to all the staff of Herdwicks cafe. Much love & gratitude <3 :)
All round good place this. The cake is up there with the best I have ever had, the piece of tiffin I had was firm, rich and full of flavour, very well made.
Wonderful Cafe they do the most amazing sausage rolls as well as other lovely food !! Very friendly staff. Dogs are welcome although we haven't a dog anymore, lovely to see others.
We had a lovely experience today. We visited with our golden retriever and friend’s chihuahuas and they were treated like royalty. Very dog friendly. We had a drink and some cake and it was delicious - I recommend the milkshakes. Will hope to visit again.
