Friendly, welcoming staff. We were served quickly and didn’t have to wait long for our order. I didn’t get her name but one lady who serviced us was so helpful, she gave us directions to find the highland cows and was so lovely! Hot chocolate is delicious :) toilets and cafe are extremely clean and welcoming.

Beautiful little cafe in the heart of Buttermere, plenty of lunch time options, not overly expensive, dog friendly and polite service - what more could you ask for after a morning hiking around the district

This cafe is just the icing of the cake for our beautiful long walk by the lake. I really enjoyed the tuna panini and hot latte.. We'll be back for sure..

My absolute favourite place for coffee and cake. The staff are all wonderful. As a local, I am able to collect stamps on a card, which works towards a free drink. (If i remember to bring it!) There is a wide selection of gluten free cakes and savoury options. I'm coeliac and never been unwell after eating here. Would definitely recommend them.

Lovely wee spot just at the carpark/bus stop in Buttermere. It was a gorgeous day yesterday so it was busy. Decided to wait until after our walk before we got our ice-cream! Served fairly quickly by the friendly staff. Lots of seating, indoors and out. Ice-cream was scrummy. And large! Coffee also nice. Their menu for lunch/food looked good, although we didn't order anything from it. Would I recommend it? Yip certainly.

Great stop for a quick bite in this cafe. Prices were reasonable and the food itself was really good. I had a tuna panini and my husband had the soup of the day. Staff were great at helping us with heating our baby's food too. Would recommend for anyone coming by this area.

Lovely vibes, coffee was nice and there were a few milk alternatives thankfully! The tray bakes were also good and seemed fresh, and there are even some light lunch options such as paninis, salads, etc. The views are beautiful and it’s less than a 10 minute walk from the lake and waterfalls!

Fantastic Cafe with excellent food and ice cream. Loved it! Obviously a phenomenal view too. Top tip: Free parking at Cafe while dining there. So move your car from the parking spot to here while eating to save on parking.
