Arnside Beach Hut in South Lakeland

Fabulous little find when visiting Arnside. Spotted as we walked along the beach. Superb coffee and the cookies were, according to my wife, the best she’d ever tasted !!!!! Lovely little atmosphere in there too.

Tom and Christiana are such a great team here.... fantastic coffee, great view, friendly and comfortable...just perfect. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍

Lovely new owners, great stop to grab a coffee and cake before a jaunt up the beach (or a nice reward on your way back!) There was a nice range of cakes and cookies etc, I got a peach cobbler cookie and I’m very excited to try it! I hope the new team do well here ♥️

A welcoming, accommodating, cheerful little spot. It's well worth the small detour up from the waterside track next to the coastguard building. Excellent value for money and reasonable variety on offer, especially given how small it is. The ice creams on offer look amazing. Inside and outside seating.

Perfect pitstop for a friendly chat, great selection of coffees and treats…. such lovely staff who were so helpful on suggestions for the local area.

Fantastic to find a great beach cafe open in February. Very warm welcome and lovely coffee. Cakes looked good and an extensive toastie menu. Clean and tidy inside. An absolute must if walking down the beach at Arnside,

At the end of the footpah after the prom, slightly raised which gives a great view. Had a couple of Paninis and drinks, friendly service, friendly dog and it's well priced.

Fabulous friendly service, great food and coffee, definitely a little gem a very short walk along the prom from the village. We'll be back.

much better than first time I had a coffee here, pleasant staff and a great view, nice selection of pastries

Visited this place due to the Bob in ( our favourite place to have a sandwich and a coffee) was shut due to a refurbishment. We went for a bite to eat & drink. They don’t offer much in the way of good food, toasties and pasties. Because there wasn’t much choice we opted for a cheese toastie. The young lady that served us came from around the counter to prepare the toasties, without washing her hands or using gloves ( after watching her taking card payments with her phone & handling customer phones too). She proceeded to take cheese out of the fridge and cut into slices placing onto the bread slices ( no option of brown or white was given). My only hope was that she cremated the toasties to get rid of any bacteria that could be lurking. It turned out it was a very poor toasty ( if I hadn’t of been so hungry I would have left it uneaten). The coffee wasn’t great either. The only positive that came to light with the visit was the ice cream girl was very enthusiastic about what she was selling & had a very nice manner . We visited since but only to have an ice cream which is very good value for what you get £3 for a waffle cone & a generous scoop. I hope the hygiene standards improve if they see this review. Stick to just the ice cream is what I would recommend.

On a visit to see my daughter who is a regular visitor to the beach hut, she took me there for a coffee. Made to feel very welcome, coffee was great and I had a Cornish pasty as well!!. Really really pleasant visit. Must go again next time I'm in the area.

Whenever we come on holiday to Holgates we always visit here every time. What lovely helpful staff! Last Saturday we collected a pre ordered coronation treat box - wow! We sometimes pre order our favourites to collect and on other occasions pop in to view and buy the treats. Fudge is lovely and the scone in the coronation treat box was so tasty with the jam and cream provided. We have never visited and not purchased - wish we had a similar venue where we live, although if we did I’m sure our waistline would suffer!

We called in for a coffee, after a walk on a lovely sunny day. The girl behind the counter was immersed with her phone when we entered so maybe she resented being disturbed, as she was unable to raise a smile an hello or any sort of welcome. It was hard not to think we were being bothersome. Unfortunatley the latte coffee proved to be as bad as the service, being lukewarm, flavourless and just as miserable.

I called in with my 5 year old niece after what must have been a busy day in the ice cream department. She couldn't decide what flavour to have. The lady behind the counter offered to give her a bit of everything. Melanie was made up and declared this the best ice cream shop in the world. Thanks for making her day. The ice cream was lovely.

I walk my dog often along the shore at Arnside and no trip is complete without calling in for a drink (hot chocolate or ice cream milkshake) and sweet treat. The selection of brownies and tray bakes are stunning and I always struggle to choose what I want. My faves have been the biscoff blondies, cornflake topped brownie and the rocky road. The milkshakes are made with Wallings ice creams and I dont know what cocoa they use for the hot chocolates but it is stunning!!!! The girls in the hut are always so welcoming and friendly.

Stopped off on our walk for a coffee and cake with our dog. Little courtyard seating area at the back.. lovely cakes and ice creams and doggie treats too..

Visited Arnside yesterday and halfway through our coastal walk, managed to crush my finger between two large rocks (don't ask). Finger wrapped in tissue, we about faced and headed back. Couldn't pass this lovely little cafe, nestled just back from the main path, as their ice cream is amazing. The owner (I'm assuming) spotted my poorly wrapped finger and without hesitation (and we hadn't ordered anything yet) offered her assistance and whipped out their first aid kit. Lucky happenstance that this Florence Nightingale of flapjacks and fresh coffee (yep, they sell a wide variety of delicious looking cakes) was St Johns ambulance trained and soon had me on my way, with a well bandaged finger and my wife with a delicious, double scoop of creamy ice cream - scoop each of coconut and raspberry ripple. It's a lovely little place, with a few seats out back if you need to rest your legs, but mainly great for takeaway. I never got the lady's name, or that of the friendly assistant, but I want to thank them so much for stepping in to help. Restores your faith in humanity. Thanks.

A lot of disappointed customers as we’ve just got the last 2 sausage rolls they are gorgeous Second visit this holiday and well worth a run out

We called almost at the close and the owner was still happy to serve with a friendly and pleasant manner, thank you! The children were certainly happy with their ice cream with a range of flavours and the coffee was nice too. A Little hidden gem as you walk along the beach.

Just popped in for a coffee Very friendly staff The cakes and sausage rolls and fabulous Nice fresh coffee Tea refreshing Glad we stopped by

2 young ladies serving. Very pleasant - I didn't have a mask with me but was able to use the high neck on my walking jacket - they were fine with this. Asked for tea and coffee - offered various choices of coffee and went...

Just wanted to pop in for a takeaway coffee and was turned away for not having a mask; despite no legal restrictions and there being nobody else in the establishment! Not very friendly service.

It was a boiling hot very busy day but the staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Really nice vibe, great cakes & delicious ice cream

So glad we found this place, we just had ice cream but it was yummy. Looking forward to going back soon 😁

Second time to the beach hut. Great selection of cakes. All slices of cakes are very large and good value for money. However, the slush tasted sour and very sugary. So would not recommend.

part from the view, unfortunately there's nothing good to say about my experience. The latte I had, was gritty and the milk tasked like them little cartons you get from hotel rooms. We visited early in the morning and the service was by a young...

Friendly staff, quick service, delicious coffee and amazing cakes. So glad we stumbled upon this hidden gem on our walk!

Wonderful milkshake and OMG the cakes!! The biscoff rocky road was to die for although I could barely get my chops round it it was that big. Lovely milkshake and staff friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back to try some ice cream!

Great location, officious staff. First time we have been in since the change of ownership. Food snd coffee both excellent but the staff were snooty and impatient. It spoilt the experience.

Called in for some takeout cakes and drinks after a walk. The milkshakes, fudge and Reese's brownies were delicious!

Lovely hidden gem for the hungry walker. Very kind and helpful staff. Soup was delicious. Great for summer ice creams too.

Back in Arnside for the first time in 6 months to catch up with a few friends. So. a walk along the shore was needed with such sunny skies. Wanting a good coffee to set us off on our way and as nothing else was...

I have fond memories of visiting here when owned by Barry. Yes it was tatty but the price reflected this and the home made cakes were an absolute delight. The cafe has had a much needed refurbishment with a loss of seating area. With lockdown...

Cracking little spot with great coffee and cake plus friendly service. Always worth a wander along the coast.

So pleased to find this little cafe revamped and open now. We bought coffee, cake and ice cream several times during our stay in Arnside and were very impressed. Delicious Wallings ice cream and Pennington’s coffee plus lovely light bite cakes. All at reasonable prices...

Perfect little place on the side of the beach! Lovely warm welcome and staff always on the go and extremely helpful. Fantastic coffee, drinks, cakes and ice cream. All those wonderful flavours my kids were spoilt for choice.Great selection of healthy sandwiches to but we...

Totally enjoyed 3 visits to the beach hut through August and September. Every time we have received a warm welcome, excellent service and amazing savoury and sweet treats. There is lots of high quality places to grab a drink and great in the area but...

Had a tea here, I would recommend that the people who work here maybe try and mop the floor, I realise alot of walkers pass through with or without dogs, however with the one in one out and 2 seated maximum approach surely there is...

We have been to this little gem a few times now. The cakes are absolutely fabulous. Lovely tea and other hot drinks. To the person who rated the cafe 1, the cafe do have some bought in cakes, which is great, as the freshly baked...

This place a is a hidden gem, right on the edge of the Kent estuary, a stone's throw, literally, from the shore. Ice creams, hot take away drinks and the amazing Cakeup Artist treats. These treats have to be seen and tasted to be believed...

Called in after a very blustery walk 😊 enjoyed our ice creams, good selection and really friendly service

Pleasant enough cafe but slightly too heavy on all the sugar aspects of its choices to have. Nothing seemed made up fresh on the spot wveythjng was bought it might as well just have stopped at the corner shop.

Leanne and her partner have rejuvenated this little beach hut into a cute little cafe with lovely coffee and amazing cakes! Well worth a visit if you’re in Arnside and taking a walk along the beach.

Amazing cakes and ice creams!!! Great service with a smile. Wonderful spot with gorgeous views, well worth the walk just to taste these fabulous cakes, coffees and ice creams. Hopefully will be back soon x

Delicious coffee, Wallings ice cream and exceptional freshly baked goodies! Get there early to avoid disappointment! 😋

We have visited the Beach Hut several times over the summer and have loved every visit. Whether we are nipping in for a takeaway coffee to drink on the beach, ice creams while out walking or for delicious doughnuts and brownies to take home with...
