Hidden gem

Not easy to find, in the courtyard of the Tapestry Museum but well worth it. Excellent coffee, we had soup, burger and BLT as well as a delicious chocolate cake. Top notch.

Highly recommend

The couple running the place are lovely. Big menu with lots of choice and really reasonable prices. We had the banana pancakes (£6.50) and the tofu scramble (£8) and both were really tasty. Hot chocolate (£3.50) was nice too. The cakes on display looked nice and the slices were huge. Definitely recommend a visit!

Just amazing!

Visited this lovely cafe this morning for some breakfast, we had the banana pancakes and the tofu on toast which were both amazing! Scrambled tofu is one of the best I've had! 5* and well worth the visit! If I ever go back to Kendal I will be back here 😊

Absolutely fantastic cafe

I luckily came across this fantastic café whilst spending a few hours in Kendal.
The menu was absolutely brilliant.
I had the BLT which was really really good and my kids had a portion of fries and a portion of salt and pepper chips. The Salt-N-Pepa chips were the best we have ever had, and that includes loads we have tried from various Chinese takeaways. The coffee was really really nice and I also had a slice of lemon cake which was massive but so good I managed to finish it. As well as the food and drink being amazing, the staff were also as nice as you could ever wish for.
Overall, this place was absolutely fantastic, and Kendal is very lucky to have this amazing café

Good variety of options and tasty food.

Really lovely little cafe in a courtyard along with the Quaker Tapestry Museum (also worth a visit). They focus on breakfast and lunch items, and everything is vegan! I find that vegan places often put a little more thought into the variety of options, so it was nice to see something's that were a bit different. I ended up going with the BLT made with This Isn't Bacon, and my husband had the pancakes, which were so fluffy. Both items were so tasty and the service friendly. It's a little small, but thankfully it wasn't busy when we went, so we were able to find seating quickly.

Pros: Friendly service, great options, and delicious!

Lovely calm space and amazing food

I stumbled on the cafe by chance and what a gem. The food is amazing - 100% vegan.
I had a vegan pastrami and Gouda sandwich and fries and it was amazing. The staff were lovely and very happy for my dog to join me in the cafe, always a treat as I often struggle to find places to eat with him with me.
I’d definitely come here again.

Pros: 100% vegan, Good portion size, Dog friendly

Amazing!

Loved this place, was slightly disappointed that they didn’t have the mac cheese, but the walnut pate I had instead and everything that went with it was delicious. Would definitely recommend. Hoping to return.

So glad you enjoyed your visit, and my apologies for us not having any Mac & Cheese on this weekend as we had a large wedding party to cater for so fell time short on having time to make any, it will be back on from next week, thank you for your lovely review ☺️
