Abbey Mill Coffee Shop in Barrow-in-Furness - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Considering the coffee shop is adjacent to a ruin, I was expecting your average, tourist offering. I was happily surprised. We ordered baguettes, which seemed more like paninis. They were flavorful. I had bacon, brie & cranberry. The flat white hit the spot. And we shared a Victoria sponge cake that was our least favorite. Nevertheless, when you're with good friends, it makes for an even better lunch. Open Wednesdays - Sundays, 10:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Está justo al lado de Furness Abbey, aunque no forma parte del complejo. Chica muy agradable que sirve pasteles fantásticos y un buen café.

Aparecimos aquí después de visitar Furness Abbey, ya que necesitábamos un refrigerio rápido por la tarde. El personal era agradable, el servicio fue rápido. No es muy grande por dentro, así que no hay muchos asientos, tenía un buen fuego cálido y adecuado. A un precio razonable, y el café era perfecto.

Perfecto para una taza de té o café después de un paseo por los campos o alrededor de la Abadía. Servicio amable, tarta encantadora, zona de estar básica. Es un lugar bastante pequeño, así que en las tardes soleadas de fin de semana, ¡prepárate para sentarte afuera en el césped!

Mi esposa y yo vinimos aquí después de sacar a pasear a nuestro perro. . . . Tuve la sopa y sándwich sabrosa sopa y un encantador queso rústico y sardina pickle. Buen servicio amable

We were staying at the nearby Abbey House Hotel and went a walk through the grounds which led us to the Furness Abbey and the Amphitheatre.We came upon the Abbey Mill cafe and had a pit stop for some lunch.Ther e is an extensive menu and seating both indoors and out.As it was a lovely day we sat outside.The service and food were both very good and made our walk even more pleasurable. Reccommended.

What can I say? Excellent all the way. Eat in the cafe or outside in the surroundings of a nice atmosphere with Furness Abbey being the back drop. Staff exceptionally friendly and looked after you. Food was cooked to perfection. I would well recommend this place to anyone.

A group of family members descended on Abbey Mill Coffee Shop during a walk from the nearby hotel following our sons wedding. Its a lovely little venue in a beautiful location by a brook adjacent to Furnace Abbey. Although the Pastries and Cakes looked tempting, we were in the market for Ice Creams,Coffees and Milkshakes. Each item freshly made and well received, served with a smile on what was a busy afternoon, with the Sunday joggers and the dog walking fraternity. I would imagine that this place is very popular in the summer months.

Always have a great coffe/ tea when passing this caffe on a walk through Furness Abbey. There are always lots of people passing through on a nice sunny day and it’s a great meeting up place to sit and contemplate.

Stopped off for a snack before a walk through the lanes - probably the best scone with jam and cream I had during my recent visit to the UK - the sandwich was also good and a beautiful tea room - a little out of the way - would be lovely to sit outside on a warm day, cosy in cold weather

Beautiful September afternoon so went for stroll with Elly the Chocolate Lab. Furness Abbey was amazing in the autumnal sunshine. Chose Abbey Mill due to its outdoor dining area in the sunshine. Unfortunately being near to closing time we were unable to order sandwiches etc. However we managed to get a cream scone and drinks. The scone was hard enough to knock over a skittle if one was about. My flat white was nice but the Chocolate drink was luke warm and not mixed enough. Excellent location average fare .

It was a beautiful day to sit on their patio and enjoy a most delicious chutney and cheddar sandwich! Walking around the Abbey for hours had created quite an appetite which they graciously filled!

This caffe never fails to deliver. The setting, food and coffee is always great. Everything is cooked fresh and tastes of real home cooking. Would recommend to anyone passing to not miss going in.

An excellent and most welcome cup of coffee and cranberry tea cake enjoyed here. What a find! After visited and been intrigued by the history of the Abbey we stopped here - a perfect location with the added interest if the unfinished sculptures - fascinating! You need to find out more. Really friendly too - thank you Jackie - a most interesting chat. We will return.

Beautiful stop at the end of the abbey and the food and drinks are fine. Service was surly which is just stupid. Costs nothing to smile at the customer. The staff here seem too busy to worry about customers. Guess their business comes too easy.

Took mum here fircsn 80th birthday treat with my sister's for afternoon tea. Had a few cups or tea and coffee. Lovely sandwiches good selection and very fresh. The cakes were lovely and We took what we didn't eat home. The scones.. omg the scones were to die for. Freshly baked and still warm with jam and clotted cream. Just the best .

A great quaint caffe with excellent food. The food is freshly baked and tastes so good. You get lots and we even took a doggy bag home as there was more than we could eat. We recommend the ploughman’s lunch, their home made pork pie is to die for.

We are regulars here and tried many items on the very varied menu. All are very reasonable and delicious. Staff are wonderful and friendly. Surroundings are brilliant. Either sit by the cosy fire or outside and admire the lovely views of Furness Abbey and the amphitheatre. Our favourite cafe!

Called in after a good walk, the cafe was decorated for Christmas and had a roaring fire, which we were lucky enough to get a table next to. Greeted with a smile and served promptly. Food was lovely. Will definitely be going back for the ice cream when it is a bit warmer!

Roaring wood burning stove provides a welcome glow as you enter the cafe. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Came here specially for the toffee vodka ice-cream and wasn't disappointed. Also tried the amazing damson ice-cream. I will be back to try some of the other unusual flavours on offer. Cakes and biscuits look exciting and inviting. There are lots of twists on the hot-chocolate theme - all ready for the Christmas period. Seating both inside and out. Lots of space for parking near by. The outside area has lovely stone carvings which add to the ambience. Toilets are around the back. They offer scones (with jam and cream) to take out. Also offer gift cards, which would be a welcome present for locals. All in sight of the Abbey.

My usual choice is a bowl of their homemade, tasty, warming soup and a roll as it's always very good. This time I was tempted by the brie, bacon & cranberry sandwich with salad on the side, as expected it was very good and filling. There is also a good selection of cakes to eat in or take away. The staff have always been friendly and helpful and service is quick. It's in a good spot for either a break after visiting the abbey, or after a long walk on part of the Cistercian way which runs nearby.

Having cut short our visit to the abbey to go to the cafe at 3.30pm, we were very disappointed to be told that they were no longer serving food as it was 20 mins till closing time. We would have been happy with a quick sandwich or piece of cake, which could have been consumed before closing time. As it was, they seemed so put out by our arrival that we didn't even stay for a drink.

You are always guaranteed to be served great food and delicious home made soup at the Abbey Caffe. Their coffee is also very tasty and always piping hot. Try the hot chocolate on a cold day to warm you up.

Visited with my mum and Nan. Arrived there before they have opened but because we were desperate to use a toilet they let us use their facilities prior our order. It is small but very cosy and really interesting place. We had a nice breakfast and freshly baked scone. Coffe was nice and strong and service pleasant. Not overpriced either. Definitely place I would go again.

La cafetería tiene una preciosa ubicación en la calle de la Abadía, así que decidimos tener un almuerzo rápido antes de nuestra visita a la abadía. Nos encantó el interior del edificio y me pareció que estaba muy bien hecho. Había una buena selección en el menú a precios razonables. Pedimos la sopa y sándwich con tazas de té y frutas bollo. Toda la comida era muy sabrosa, en particular los bollos. La única razón por la que no pudimos dar 5 estrellas era porque no estaban impresionados con el té y nos pareció que estaba muy débil, pero aparte de eso, una pequeña cafetería.

Super ubicación frente al hermoso Furness Abbey.

Tuvimos un almuerzo encantador estar fuera. Sándwiches con un plato de patatas fritas y un encantador café. Muy sabroso y muy buen servicio.

Stopped either intention of a tea break; had the excellent vegetable soup and sandwiches. Great way to recharge after touring the Abbey.

A lovely stop adjacent to Furness Abbey. A great selection of food and drinks. A chance to fill up before tackling the abbey.

Usually busy in this very popular cafe, we pop in when walking around the Abbey area. Soup and rolls, toasties, home made scones and cakes. Lovely after a walk warming up with a good cup of coffee and cake.

We visited this café after visiting the Abbey as it is conveniently situated in a lovely and interesting old building, on site. It is quaint but not cramped and had additional outdoor seating. We had coffee which was fresh and delicious and we each had a different home made cake which we all tried a bite of and they were all delicious. All food was home made and they had a decent selection of herbal infusions. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about their products and ingredients, which were largely locally sourced. Catered for allergies and vegan diets.

My wife, 2 year old son and I visited the cafe today (26.02.17).We had a full English, vegi breakfast and beans on toast. Food was great!The cafe was quite cold, that said it was a cold day and it is a very old building

A quaint little building. Extremely delicious food with very friendly and helpful staff. The soup is homemade and very tasty with a sandwich on the side. Live the homemade coleslaw too.

We visited the cafe after looking at the Abbey and had hot chocolate and a soup with a hot crusty roll (much needed to warm us up after our walk round the abbey!). The hot chocolate just has to be had with the marshmallows and cream and was lovely! The soup was probably the biggest bowl I had ever had and was very tasty. The roll was a hot half baguette and was very nice.

Cosy place with pleasant staff. Awful awful lunch.our party of 6 had burgers chips and toasties plus hot chocolate a beer and water. Beer was a local brand bottle which we enjoyed. The water was cold which was refreshing. The hot choc looked fab but for two out of the three it was excessively sweet so only the cream and marshmallows were had. The burgers had thickly buttered bread and when one was bitten into an entire quarter of a tomato fell out covered in butter and an entire lump of butter. One of the burgers had hair in it. The burgers were very well cooked i.e. Chewy and dry. I don't know what the chips were cooked in but they tasted like very old fat and were hard. Even the toasty was soggy. Usually I would complain but we didn't have time to reorder so just left the food and went and in any case I couldn't see how the food could have been redeemed to be honest. Perhaps I could have got a refund but in the end A waste of money and food. We didn't have tea coffe or cake (all the cakes looked lovely by the way but I can't comment on whether they were tasty or not).Maybe it's a good place for a cuppa and cake but I would never ever have lunch here again.

We came for lunch after a quick walk. The service was swift and friendly and the food delicious. A bit surprised to see staff plating up scones using their hands and not tongs. Other than that we would definitely visit again and recommend it.

I would Strongly recommend taking a walk around the abbey and visiting the cafe to warm up afterwards as it's always toasty and warm inside and the food is simple but filling and high quality, perfect for lunch or a large snack

Lovely little cafe for snacks or coffee and good that they allow dogs inside. Situated by Furness Abbey with outside seating in the good weather.

Extremely good value for £10.95 each. Four sandwiches, toffee and pecan cake, lemon cake and scone with jam and clotted cream plus coffee or tea per person. Lovely scenery, polite and attentive staff, will definitely be back

Visited today with two young children. We all chose an English Lakes Ice Cream and were offered a free flake.....bonus! Lovely seating area outside and plenty of room for the kids to run around and burn off some steam.Lovely little walk through the amphitheatre, a local farm and back around to the cafe....just in time for another refreshment stop. Highly recommend.

the abbey mill coffee shop serves light snacks/meals with both indoor and outdoor seating,this is a pleasant little coffee shop that has been converted out of a former small home that was burned down and has now had a new roof on and left as a single storey instead of the original two storeys with all the features left in place

It may have been a dreadful wet day but enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea here todayDelicious food friendly staff in a lovely placeThree of us had the choice of 12 sandwiches, a scone each with jam and cream and six cakes to choose from washed down with a cup of tea or coffee, which included latte, cappuccino etc £10.95 well worth it

Had lovely big cream and jam scone and cup of tea in a great location by the abbey . Friendly service and reasonable price.

Brilliant coffee shop nice coffee and the most spectacular cakes. Huge slice so I might suggest you share. We had soup which was lovely and burgers all very nice. A very large pot of tea for two which was good. And the scones we at least twice the size of usual ones. Definitely worth a visit.

Popped in for a quick snack, service was friendly and quick. Sat outside with dogs in the sun. Food was a ham and cheese sandwich, a bacon bap, a tea and a coffee, all very pleasant but at £15 very over the top.

This small cafe has almost a monopoly when it comes to Abbey visitors wanting a rest refreshments and possibly a bite to eat. Full when we arrived but simple food menu and actually not bad given limited facities

Take a stroll from Tesco Roose to Furness Abbey on a nice sunny day. Reward yourself with a merely amazing ice cream blackcurrant and cream. It's a heaven!

We were out walking our dogs this morning and, just after 10 am, ended up at the Abbey Mill Cafe. The door was open and a female staff member was setting up the outside tables. We approached the cafe with the intention of having a drink. Without asking us what we wanted the staff member rudely said "we don't open until 11". Somewhat taken aback we left and continued on our walk. Now if we had wanted food I could of understood them not wanting to serve us until 11am but surely they could have sold us a cup of tea or a can of pop. There were lots of other people in the area at that time of the morning so if they can afford to turn away local custom for the following 55 mins on a bank holiday then good luck to them.

Had milkshakes both times I've visited and they're delicious! They come in jars and taste gorgeous! I've also had a banana and chocolate flavoured ice cream cone. Love the vintage decor it's so cute and great to stop off there after a walk around the abbey

Spent this morning at Abbey Mill Cafe in the wonderful company of Phil Collier, Dawn Glasgow, David McKendry, Suzanne Edgley, and many other Professionals, skilled in their own spheres. It's the first time across the threshold of this charming establishment and what a great place to use for meeting up, and an unusual but good venue to have 1 to 1 meetings with clients, be it for just a coffee (the Mocha is out of this world!! :D ) or a sausage and bacon bun (also stratospheric :D ) to partner it!..

My friend and I called in for a coffee after a nice brisk walk. We chose home made scones to accompany our drinks, they were gorgeous, very fresh and tasty. Good coffee and an inviting roaring fire and lovely interior. Cakes looked amazing. Well worth a visit.

We visited on a Saturday afternoon after a lovely trip to the nearby Abbey - a large group of seven of us, ordered drinks and five snacks. There was one gluten free option (carrot cake) and no vegan food, so there were two of us who couldn't eat anything because of dietary requirements (the carrot cake wasn't dairy free). While our friends all bought a selection of food and hot drinks from the cafe, we instead ate some diet appropriate food we'd brought along with us to the Abbey (while drinking tea we had bought in the cafe). We were however thrown out of the cafe by a rude woman who said we couldn't eat our own food inside with our friends, we had to sit outside in the cold whilst five others ate inside. The way she did this was quite rude considering how much we had bought as a group, and if we had actually had options to buy something in the cafe we would have done so. It's not hard to provide vegan or gluten free options, nor is it unusual, and the treatment at the hands of this lady seemed totally out of order. If she didn't want us to eat a few crisps she could have just asked. The tea order was mixed up and slow, and the atmosphere uncomfortable. They stop serving hot food at 3pm. The cafe is very cute and picturesque, although a bit cold, and it would have been a pleasant trip without the rudeness of this one particular lady. We were allowed to bring our dog in on a lead, which was nice.

Called here on a busy Mother's Day lunchtime and although the blackboard said there was a delay with food our soup and sandwich came in good time and was very tasty.Perfect.

Often stop here when walking with the grandchildren and / or dog around the Abbey area , the staff are always friendly and its cosy inside and plenty of chairs outside should the weather be ok ! They allow the dog inside too which is a real bonus on a wet or cold day ! Prices are good and plenty of choice X

Great place to pop in for light snacks or afternoon tea with lovely views of the fantastic Furness Abbey. We call in after having a walk around the Abbey, easy parking and if a nice day sitting outside. Home made fresh scones and cakes are delicious, decent size portions and very reasonably priced. Coffee is great and the service brilliant and the local walks are super. Very popular with dog walkers too.

I call in regularly to this cafe with various friends & family. Good coffee & the freshly baked scones with jam & clotted cream are delicious. Reasonably priced & decent menu.

Reasonable cuppa, nice scone with jam and cream, cakes were good too and generous portions.. Very reasonable prices.

A small cafe, but worth a visit if you are in the general area. Their cakes are often rather nice, and the scones with jam and butter are lovely. Always a decent cuppa too :-)Friendly staff, and reasonable prices. Not sure if they have a customer loo - don't think so - and that would be good if they had.Handy to be able to ask for the wifi code as no phone reception down there.

Lovely homely little cafe situated opposite Furness Abbey. Left the pregnant wife there with a brew and a magazine whilst my 2yr old and I took a scroll up to the nearby farm and back on a designated foot path. Tea and cake were lovely on our return. Friendly and knowledgable staff.

Lovey atmosphere,this is a small cafe inside,but what a lovely gem,the fire roars when it's cold being wonderfully inviting,and when the sun is out,the view is great,plenty of seating outside,the breakfast is brilliant as is the cakes

Fantastic café near Furness Abbey ruins, well recommended. Friendly and helpful staff, with a wide menu choice and fantastic ice cream.

Inside the Abbey Mills coffee shop it s homey and relaxed. Where with the home cooked food and cakes you'll find many a local enjoying a meal and friendly conversation, within its original structure . Don't forget to look up. As such it fits the gorgeous landscape of the country. Just a short way from Furness Abbey Its a great way to speak to locals who have been to the Abbey many times. Its a great way to complete your visit.

We were touring the abbey and saw this lovely café so decided to walk over. It is a very small place and seems quite popular. We had a light lunch with sandwiches. They were made fresh and were tasty. The wait staff were efficient and friendly. A lot of people were there for the pastries - they looked yummy - and for ice cream. We are inside as it was rather windy, but there is a large area outside for eating. A number of people had ordered food and were eating on picnic blankets - so picturesque as it is right next door to the Abbey.

Dropped in here for a coffee with a friend. The cappuccino is delicious. We had only intended to have a coffee, but couldn't resist a fresh scone with clotted cream and jam. It was really lovely. The cakes looked amazing as did the meals we saw coming out.We sat outside in the sunshine.... Bliss. Fantastic position next to the abbey ruins and the amphitheatre. There was brisk business the whole time we were there, but the staff remained friendly and very efficient.Well worth a visit, we will definitely be back.

We love Abbey Mill. We used to regularly visit and now go when we can. It's in a beautiful location, tidy, the staff are lovely and the prices are reasonable. It's nice and cosy in the winter when the fire's on and lovely to keep cool inside in the summer or sit in the sun outside. I particularly love the toasted tea cakes but everything I've had has been enjoyable. Well done Abbey Mill :)

this is a very small café in the abbey ground across from Furness Abbey ruins great scenery .Sit in or out they have a nice fire inside on cold days the food is great plenty to choose from and great ice cream

This lovely little gem of a coffee shop is situated out of the boundary of Furness Abbey next to a grassed area with stone sculptures and carpark. There is a wood burner, shabby chic furniture and stone walls, wooden beams visible inside the old mill - really nice. The food is awesome too - great value for money and tasty. Soup and sandwich meal deal was lovely! Delicious cakes too! The staff were quick, efficient and friendly - well done!

We got there after a long walk, arriving at 3:30 and expecting a meal, only to be told they had stopped serving food, and that they close at 4, not 5 as listed here and via google. Bit disappointing. Had a lovely scone, but again, not what 10 people were expecting to find at the end of a long walk.

We stayed at a barn conversion a short walk from the Abbey and the Abbey Mill Coffee Shop, during nice days, the coffee shop was an excellent place to enjoy the sun and rest after a walk in the area. As we only just had a drink at the benches in front of the establishment, we do not have any information regarding the food, except that it looked tasty!

A picturesque location in which to try one of the finest cappuccino's in the area. Situated right next to ancient Furness Abbey, founded in 1127 and once the second largest Abbey in the north; although there are a few seats outside to enjoy the view, it is very rare there is one vacant!

This is a nice place to pop into when you are looking at the ruins of Furness Abbey. I think I was expecting a little more than I got, the coffee was ok and cakes were expensive.

Lovely place and staff were very nice. I only got a latte as I had a picnic but thought the character of the building was nice chatty nice owners

Always good refreshments on offer after a walk to the Abbey. Great Scones and tea cakes and they even stock some bottled Ulverston Ales nowadays!

This is a great place to stop off if you are visiting Furness Abbey or going for a walk in the area. In good weather you can sit outside on the terrace area, which is a good option because the inside is not spacious. However, a surprising range of snacks, cakes and drinks (hot, cold, soft and alcoholic) are on offer, while service is friendly and efficient. This is a popular dog walking area and dogs are welcome on the terrace.

Had a lovely coffee and cake ...reasonably prices and a large slice...read the papers and relaxed...lovely atmostspere

A lovely cafe with a cheeful welcome. The coffee and cakes are all freshly made by the owner. I now look forward to walking the dog so I can pop in.

Been here twice over the last few years, both times in Winter. Unfortunately, the cafe was cold on both occassions, even though there was a wood burning stove in action. Very old, stone building of great character, with interesting memorabilia from past times.We had soup on both visits, hot and reasonably tasty. Served with warm, fresh bread and butter. We also had a toasted cheese and ham sandwich. This was very tasty with plenty of filling, just not quite toasted enough on the outside. This came with a nice side salad consisting of a variety of salad ingredients.I think the soup with the sandwich was £5.95 and soup and bread £3.95. (2015.)I guess it is a lovely place to visit in the warmer, summer months after a wander around the abbey and vicinity.

A fabulous little spot. The food, hot and cold drinks and ice creams are great. The cosy, rustic location, nestled right beside Furness Abbey is unique and superb. There is usually plenty of outside seating throughout summer, which is especially suitable for dog-owners and families with young children in buggies or running around. My only criticisms would be that it does get quite busy and yet despite this once or twice I have been and it has stopped serving food quite early. It would be brilliant if they could do food for longer especially at weekends and in summer, but hey, they do what they can and what they do serve has always been great. Staff seem nice too. Would definitely recommend!

Abbey Mill is a favourite haunt of walkers...and it allegedly has a resident ghost too. The food is wholesome and enjoyable-especially the coffee and cakes in summer and soup in winter. The building is an intriguing thirteenth century Grade 2 listed building. The garden is used summer and winter by its running and walking community and schools combine visits to the abbey and the cafe. Its the HQ of the Furness Abbey Fellowship -a local support group and is a hub of activity for all kinds of groups and events. Excellent little quirky and bohemian place to share lunch with friends

Often meet up here for a drink and cake with friends. In the summer the tables outside are great to sit at and have a drink and cake. The scenic views of Furness Abbey are an added bonus. In the winter or colder months inside the cafe is nice and cosy.Good selection of homemade cakes, traybakes etc. for non coffee or tea drinkers there's a good selection of bottled drinks and cans and also wine or bottled beer.Price wise it's really good value, also easy to park as it's right next to the car park at the amphitheatre.

We took the kids for a Sunday walk and decided to have something to eat at this lovely spot. The service was quick and friendly. The food was good and the coffee very nice indeed and good value for money. We'll worth a visit. We decided as a family to make this a regular Sunday outing.

Initially, I thought the prices were a little high but the quality of the scones and coffee made it worthwhile. Service was a little slow for such a simple order. It is in lovely surroundings and well worth visiting after you have walked around the Abbey. Seats outside for the rare occasions when it isn't raining.

We had an amazing cream tea here on Saturday afternoon. The scone was homemade, and full of fruit, and you got a good amount of cream and jam. The pot of tea was Huge more than enough for two people.

Stopped off for coffee and Cake while on a walk with the dog. Very friendly staff and great service. Food is extremely good

When the staff finally stopped having a dis agreement over something and finally washed some pots so we could have a drink, the tea and biscuit were a welcome warm up. However, the building does appear to look too rustic and clearly needs finishing off inside. Unless you like a dusting of cobwebs with your tea when you sit next to the dry stone wall!

Dropped in for a cuppa after visiting Furness Abbey.Nice pot of tea and awesome bacon butties. Staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. When we visited the Cafe and surrounding area were clean & tidy.The interior of the Cafe has been left untouched, so the walls are not plastered or decorated in any way. Personally we thought that all added to the character of the place, although the tables & floors were clean there was some brick & plaster dust in evidence on the walls.Would definitely recommend and revisit as the quality of the food we had was excellent.

Stopped for a coffee and cake during a walk. The cafe is lovely and clean inside. We had a selection of hot chocolates and cups of tea which were lovely and well priced. The cakes were homemade and delicious. Unfortunately some of the staff were quite rude and unwelcoming. The toilet room, which I can understand is part of an old building, was quite dirty and the toilet itself was in need if of a good clean. Sorry to say all this, and it is my first negative review.

Lovely old cafe that used to be the curators accommodation for Furness Abbey, but now independently owned by a local woman. Tiny inside but great outdoor seating available in good weather. Lovely food and freindly staff.

It is extremely cold to sit inside with no effort to heat it up. The atmosphere is dull. The food was cold and not very nice and also expensive for what it was. Could be a very nice cosy place but no effort is made. won't go back

Straightforward cafe food - well cooked and at good prices. Lovely location next to the abbey. Friendly and attentive staff. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

They offer really good home cooked food at a reasonable price in a lovely setting close to Furness Abbey. Excellent coffee and the cakes are really good as well!

This little cafe is in a great location opposite Furness Abbey and is a perfect stop off whilst out for a walk. We called in for coffee whilst walking last week. The coffee was good but the coffee cake was amazing, and the other cakes looked pretty fab too. The rest of the menu was a bit cafe like ie. lots of things with chips but there was a specials board too

A lovely small café overlooking Furness Abbey. Very pleasant staff who seemed to really want to be there which is often not the case. Nice selection of food and drink made better with a 50% Tastecard discount.

We have been using this café for a long time and on the whole it's nice. The snacks, foods and drinks are all value for money. The location is excellent, next to the ruins of Furness Abbey, with walks through fields and woods. What lets the place down is the exterior and garden. If the owners paid a little more attention to the exterior I am sure it would attract a lot more visitors. For example, today, we dropped in for a coffee and a bite to eat whilst out walking the dogs. The café had only just opened and the table we sat at was littered with used straws, cigarette butts, drinks cans and plenty of other litter. The grass was unkempt, the flower pots had seen better days, the industrial bin was on display, so all in all a nice spot but spoiled with lack of attention. Shame really as that is the only thing that lets it down.

Lovely summers day, walking past and popped in for cake and drink - pleasant atmosphere and the staff were chatty and friendly, lovely location..

i visited recently with my family, lovely location and building, food was lovely, especially the fresh sweets, i had the scone, jam and cream, the best ever i have tasted, also they had fresh ginger cake and sticky toffee pudding, would go again, recommended

Lovely cafe in a nice old building with lots of character. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great location next to Furness Abbey and very tasty jam and cream scones!

Next to Furness Abbey and located in one of the Abbey's outbuildings, we weren't expecting much more than a hot cup of tea, but we were very pleasantly surprised by the cosy interior and excellent scones. (We'd have had a proper meal as the menu looked very tempting but were heading back to our hotel for dinner). Everything is home made and there were obviously a few regulars in. Well worth a visit.
