Do give this cafe a go!!! We were dithering outside because it looked a bit dark, but so glad we went in! Tasty homemade chips and hash brown (you know how some hash browns are just nooot good). Good portion too! We ordered hash browns on the side and we got three of them! So had to take half toastie and half baguette away. Fantastic hot chocolate, very generous. Very nice cheese and sausage Toastie and chorizo baguette!

Went here today for lunch with my Dad. Great location in the heart of Bowness town centre with friendly and professional service and lovely food (I had the scampi and chips). Highly recommended! :)

It doesn't look the most inviting place from the front, but I can't recommend this place enough! We visited here for breakfast twice during our weekend stay in Bowness. Great service, no-frills food, friendly, warm and cosy atmosphere. Fab place - would absolutely recommend.

Me, my partner and our little boy came here for lunch whilst we were on holiday. As we walked in they were so welcoming and friendly. They made a fuss over our little boy and brought a high chair and books for him straight away. This we were so grateful for as it’s so hard to distance a one year old whilst you’re eating. We both had the specials on the menu the chorizo panini and the chicken and bacon baguette. They were both delicious and had a very good portion for the price. Our little boy had fish fingers chips and beans off the kids menu. This was cooked fresh and went down a bit. This was a big portion for our little boys but was lovely. The service was very attentive throughout although when we wanted to pay the host had disappeared. We did had to wait some time to pay. This was not too much of a problem at the time. The cafe was very quiet with a very chilled atmosphere but we did come here out of season. I would definitely come here again in future.

Called in with 4 adults and 5 children ranging from age 4 to 9, the service was so good, 5 children's meals were large portions and all children were very happy. Adult meals also good portions and all were served very fast. So pleased we walked up the road a little and found this place. We all commented when we left how good the food was and how pleasant the staff were and we would highly recommend and will visit again next time we are in the area.

First time in this delightful cafe as the usual one that we go to for breakfast was closed. Very friendly and attentive gentleman out front, warm welcome and extremely efficient. The breakfast was excellent (be aware that tomatoes, hash brown, black pudding etc are extras) and a huge pot of lovely tea to go with it. The lunch menu looked nice and the price of everything including our breakfast was very reasonable. We will definitely be back and yes we recommend

Just stopped here for breakfast this morning and it was stunning. The staff are so nice and kind and the cafe is very dog friendly water and lovely dog treats given. Our breakfast was served fresh and the quality of ingredients is excellent. They cater for allergies and the gluten free toast was perfect. Extremely good value for money with generous food portions. We would definitely recommend a visit.
