Harley's Bistro & Cafe Bar

Brilliant cafe to visit if you're ever in Grasmere! Stumbled across Harley's and wasn't sure what to expect but really pleased we did! Staff were extremely helpful, and there was a great selection of tea/coffee, beers/wines/spirits, hot food and cake. They had the best selection of Gluten free cakes and puddings! The warmed up GF apple pie and ice-cream is excellent! Milkshakes looked great too! They're dog friendly, so make sure to pop in if you're passing!

We visited Harley's during our trip to the lake district, and what a lovely place it is! Situated in Grasmere, and while there are other cafés/bistros available, here's why you should visit Harley's. We were sat down very quickly, and seen to for our drinks almost immediately. The general feel/vibe in the bistro is very relaxed, and as it was a rainy day we were very glad to get inside. I didn't get the name of our waiter, but he was so helpful and accommodating to us. There are vegan options available, and he talked us through them all and even said we could slightly tweak certain dishes to become vegan. We were also told that recently they changed their menu a little bit - this sometimes doesn't work but it absolutely has for Harley's. Their flatbread is nothing short of amazing! For dessert, we tried the fudge cake, and the star of the show - the vegan 'jaffa cake' cake. Whoever was responsible for the creation of this is a saint! Lastly, the prices are very reasonable in here, and there are even USB ports in the plug sockets on the tables to charge your phone.
