    Very friendly staff who were keen to accommodate us and our 4 month old. Food was good but service a little slow. Will be back if in the area again.

    Lovely cafe in Penrith. We had baked potato with cheese and egg mayo sandwiches with salad and crisps. Both were delicious. A delicious cup of coffee and pot of tea. Friendly staff. Maybe could do with a little background music for a bit better atmosphere. Will definitely go back.

    Tuna melt not toasted so no melting of the tiny bit of cheese in the baguette. Waited 30 minutes to get food and it was quiet when we went in. Won't be going back!

    Lovely little family cafe, had the chilli chicken sandwich and a pot of tea and very kindly didn't charge us for the tea as a treat for my birthday. Many thanks

    Nice coffee shop and cafe in Penrith with indoor and outside seating. The menu was a bit limited when I visited. They had run out of sausages, but I got a nice bacon roll and cappuccino. The place has a relaxing atmosphere and the staff are polite.

    Second visit and there will be many more. Lovely friendly people who run it. The toasted cheese 🧀 scones are delicious.

    Bigger than it seems as there's an upstairs dining room as well. Friendly staff, had a toasted sandwich, salad and coffee. Enjoyed it and would go again.

    Nice food but the milkshake was slightly disappointing.

  • 5/5 Kirsty R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee shop. I have food allergies (dairy and eggs) and I’ve found that every time I’ve been there is a vegan cake option as well as a range of alternative milks, so no missing out for me. Today I had the vegan chocolate cake which was awesome! You would never know it was vegan. My little boy had a Victoria sponge (not vegan) and he wolfed it down. Both cakes where made in the cafe. Highly recommend!

    Tables inside and out. Nice and cool and quiet inside. Coffee great - along with toasted tea cake was just a treat. Thank you!

    Found this while searching Penrith for another previously visited in 2019. This small cafe, tucked away, was excellent. Arrived on a bike ride from Carlisle en route to Blackburn and tucked into a fab Cumberland sausage in a ciabatta roll. Definitely on my list for Penrith when I come again

    Food was nice. Large coffee wasn't, more like normal size and service was slow. Given that only 4 tables were occupied and there was at least 4 members of staff it could have been a lot quicker.

    Nice little place, Very clean every where you go. Quite nice coffee, good and hot. Not much choice of gluten free products but due to its size, that is understandable. Very obliging staff . Worth a visit
