Brambles Coffee Bar Windermere in South Lakeland

Dog friendly! Lovely staff, inviting atmosphere and great food a tucked away gem defo worth a visit whilst in Windermere!

Lovely little cafe bar, Karen and staff make you so welcome. Food is excellent, prepared fresh and presented with pride. Well worth a visit, we returned after four years for the cheese and meat platter 5*.

An amazing cafe on the side of Main Rd. Karen the owner clearly shows dedication to all her customers. The food was excellent, black puddings were well cooked and the bacon wonderfully crisp. Highly recommend when visiting Windermere.

Amazing breakfast and lovely hosts.

Small very niche cafe in centre of windermere staff was amazing so friendly and chatty food was fabulous soup was chunky veg and was the best I Have ever tasted not messed with just natural flavours and the coffee again was supurb throughly enjoyed and the advantage is it is licensed to with cocktails what more do you need on a old wet day .

A little gem in the heart of Windermere. A very warm welcome. Delicious food all cooked fresh. My partner even got a warm chocolate brownie for her birthday, which was delicious. Dogs and kids also welcome which is always nice. Well done guys 👏🏼

During our little stay in Windermere.. this cafe was our go to .. for breakfast and coffee... The staff ..the owners ..are extremely nice.. we loved the hospitality.. mocha, vanilla flat white and hazelnut latte are really really must tries...

A nicely decorated cosy café on the Main Street of Windermere that does very good cups of coffee. The owner was welcoming and friendly and the day I went in and she wasn’t there, the guy on the till was also lovely. Thank you for all the great cups of coffee during my Lake District trip 🤗🧡🫖

Beautiful eatery that we always look at when in Windermere but it's not open on Mondays or Tuesdays so must remember for future. Lovely atmosphere with very welcoming staff and nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend Brambles for snacks meals or drinks. I hope our server is called Sharon apologies if wrong. Until next time 👍👏💞

Called in every morning during my stay in this wonderful little Cafe bar, full English is fresh and so tasty, very pleasant lady and chef. Will definitely call in again.

This cafe /bar serves tasty homemade food prepared fresh on the premises to order. The food is tasty delicious and reasonably priced . Only small in size but well worth a visit.

Great little place in Windermere, chilled enviroment, excellent food and friendly service, will definitely come here again..

Stumbled across here looking for some light refreshments before it got too busy in Windermere,sat inside a bit cramped and was greeted by the owner a lovely lady who was so helpful,food and drinks lovely and service good and done the trick and reasonable price for area toilets down side of building at back do need good refurb.thank you

Great cafe. Made us a lovely afternoon tea and great service.

Lovely cafe, super friendly staff and excellent value. We only had a very light lunch and the quality was fantastic. Recommend the veg soup and toasties. Will definitely be back when we are next in the area.

We stumbled on this little gem 3 years ago. We've been back this week and had several visits. It's a small quaint,cafe bar run by a lovely lady and family,so friendly. Lovely food,relaxing music and atmosphere. Hope to be back soon ❤️

Excellent service, staff are extremely friendly and talkative along with the food and atmosphere being very calming. I would definitely come back again with family and friends.

Visited Saturday and the food was incredible. The service fabulous. We were very well looked after and would definitely return

It was really cool! The decor was really pretty and aesthetic!! The waiter was very nice and the food was delicious. The overall experience was something to remember! I also got a unique Brambles sticker as a souvenir!!! :)

Stumbled upon this little cafe while looking for somewhere to get a sandwich with my husband while visiting Windermere. The cheese, ham, tomato & onion toasty was nice & fresh & filling, my husband had the beef sandwich, both had some salad on the side. Would have visited again but it was closed on the Mon & Tues. Staff very helpful & friendly & food not expensive

Been wanting to come here for a while now and I'm glad I did. Had bacon sausage and egg, was not disappointed absolutely beautiful. Great customer service. Karen and Jayden both very attentive and do the place proud. Would definitely stop off if passing.

On a 3 week holiday in the Lakes, and been here 4 times now. Lovely cafe, good food, reasonably priced, really friendly helpful service. Nice atmosphere too. Will soon need a bigger place !😄

Lovely food and drink, lovely staff, 10/10.

Ordered breakfast wrap and it came with baked beans in it. Should've asked for them to be removed, but would've preferred them as optional extra rather than the default, beans ruined the wrap in my opinion.

Great little cafe. Great food thankyou Tucked away but well worth finding Great atmosphere friendly staff . You won't be disappointed

What a gem in the lakes, visited this cafe bar with my husband in March, we had the meat and cheese board, fabulous and Karen the host was so friendly, such a lovely relaxing place x

Had a brew and some food in here. Great toasties

Always terrific! Perfect lunch and great service - we opted for the pate and cheese board eith a couple of glasses of chardonnay of course 😋

Superb find in Windermere - on the repeater list for sure! Friendly and welcoming - superb sharing boards although we were hungry so we had one each 😂 Back in 2004 and still terrific!

Great breakfast for fueling a big walk.

Just been here today for lunch (3 adults and friendly spaniel). The lady has just taken the business on for herself. The breakfast wrap was huge. The shared meat & cheese platter was excellent. We were offered a free refill for our tea & extras to our platter if we wanted it. Friendly service, reasonable prices. We would definitely return.

Cute little hidden cafe on the main street of Windermere. Easy to miss, but you'll be missing out on the gorgeous food they do here. The menu really doesn't lie when they describe the food here. Definitely worth a visit. The staff were really friendly, humble too when I complimented the food. The wine flights look very appealing.

Lovely coffee and even better service, will definitely come back.

Me, my partner and our dog went on holiday to the Lake District and found this cafe in town. The service is amazing and the lady is so friendly. Food and drink comes out quick and is delicious! If you are going to the Windermere village you have to stop by Brambles cafe, it will certainly not disappoint. Beautiful little cafe and we came everyday day during our stay at the lakes. If you have a dog also they are very accommodating and friendly! Do not miss out coming here.

Stopped off for lunch. Had sandwiches and coffee. Absolutely gorgeous, lovely soft bread and really lovely staff.

Amazing service, fabulous breakfast!

Smashing place. Worth the visit.

Lovely service from Jayden, very polite and friendly. The food was amazing and the coffee was delicious.

Very very friendly and also very informative regarding the many questions we had about the area, We will definitely be back 🤣

From the warm welcome from Karen and Jayden to the best breakfast in the lakes. Would 💯 recommend a visit to Brambles as you arrive as a customer and leave feeling like visiting friends. For a solo traveller this is the best experience you can get. The full breakfast and flapjack are recommended, my second visit in 2 days and will be in every day. Thanks guys for making me and my girls feel so welcome.

Coffee great - lovely ambiance vibe

Lovely friendly little cafe. My partner and I stopped for a snack and ended up having a delicious meat/ cheese sharing platter along with some pate. Perfect.

Delicious food, great service, cute inside. Definitly reccommend!

Lovely café, we left suitably refreshed and full for our walk back to the camp site. A real treasure with a great feel to the place akin to ‘last of the summer wine’ [meant in the nicest way]. Thank you we shall be back next year.

A little gem of a cafe tucked away in Windermere village offering excellent value English breakfast, toasties , coffee, cakes etc in a delightful bistro style interior with additional seating outside.

Thoroughly enjoyed our food at Brambles. Great portion and value for money. Friendly and fast service. Peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend and would definitely go back.

Best place for breakfast in Windermere, friendly staff and great food. Highly recommended, we went back over and over again.

We were walking past this cafe on the Windermere circle when we noticed large bowls of soup and huge sandwich plates being served - it all looked very nice. So we decided to stop in for a tea and snack break. Soup was delicious as was the full cream tea and children’s brownie. The cafe has an outdoor and indoor section - on street parking was available outside - overall a good option in Windermere.

Little cafe on the one way system in Windermere which is easy to miss (it's practically opposite WH Smiths!) Had a very nice and varied menu,but as it was early, Hubby and I had a lovely full English each with a Latte yesterday morning. Bacon well cooked as requested, good quality ingredients. Lady Owner very attentive, came out of the kitchen to check we were OK with everything. Great food, great service, what more can you ask for? Give the other larger cafes in Windermere a miss and call in here- it's definitely worth it!

Love this little cafe/bistro bar quality food recommended the cooked breakfast in morning and in the evening the sharing boards fab atmosphere cosy and welcoming lady who runs establishment is so lovely and friendly 😊

Excellent full English breakfast with quality ingredients (bacon, sausage and black pudding amazing), all outstanding. Very good coffee. Really friendly fast service and a reasonable price…. Thank you

Delicious food, delicious coffee, friendly staff, would definitely recommend :)

Had lunch today, pate board and cheese toastie drinks. Lovely staff very relaxing. Would highly recommend

What a lovely spot - lovely food - fresh, good quality, great atmosphere and brilliant service. A hidden gem. Our new favourite 🙂

Spotted this quaint little café the previous evening and thought it looks like a nice little place go and try out instead of a larger restaurant sized outlet for my breakfast!!! Karen the owner turned out to live close to where I’m from so I thought I’d take the time to write a review of her beautiful little cafe . Well I go out Every single day to eat at various places and this is definitely my favourite cafe in Windermere!!! It’s a very cosy place and Karen makes you feel very welcome. The breakfast was gorgeous and came with scrambled eggs and also the choice of brown bread too ( which is a must for me ) . I come fishing here a lot on Windermere and haven’t ventured this far from the waters edge before to eat but I’ll 100% be returning as the price , service , quality of this place as well as the choice to sit out and watch the world go by is amazing. Thanks

Tom from Liverpool. Lovely breakfast and brilliant service. Owner is very kind and helpful hope to be back again soon!

What a great venue - from Karen’s warm and friendly welcome with friendly chat to a quick service for breakfast. Breakfast was 11/10 it was - fresh and tasty and hot and a great start to the day. Would recommend Brambles for breakfast or lunch or a coffee or glass of wine due to the friendly welcome, fabulous food and clean and lovely venue

Just picked this place at random, really pleased we did. Very friendly and great food. Would definitely go back if in the area again. Cheers!

Superb food, great service and welcoming, dog friendly cafe. Perfect stop off point for our short walk starting from Windermere lake. ☕️

Lovely breakfast, great food. Even better friendly and helpful service. Next time we visit the lakes we are coming back for sure.

This is a fabulous place to eat, drink, and chill. Very warm welcome, my friend and I got. The food was delicious and colourful presentation . Everything was just perfect. I well recomend you visit and see for yourself. The owner is lovely too and makes everyone feel special.

Visited for a coffee. Only a few other customers in there. Service was quite slow. Coffee was fine. There are other options which are better.

From the warm welcome to amazing service and the best breakfast in the lakes. Been here every day of my holiday for either breakfast or lunch and I can only rave about the warm welcome from Karen, Mia and Darius. Food was fantastic and such a great place to visit espeixally as I am on my own. I will be back and can’t recommend enough- thanks. I’m

Wow…just wow! The staff here were so kind and welcoming and it made the experience so much more amazing! The food came out quickly and was DELICIOUS!! I would definitely recommend this to anyone!!

Absolutely lovely staff and even better food. Accommodating to everyone with children and/or animals. Quick, friendly service and fresh cooked food.

Stopped in Brambles for a sandwich and coffee yesterday. Can’t say enough about how nice the sandwich was. Top notch ingredients. The staff were very friendly. I’ll be back k for sure.

A really beautiful little place to eat. Really lovely engaging super friendly staff. The food is delicious and plenty, and very reasonably priced. The ambience of the cafe is so nice and relaxed with chilled background music and lovely decor. What a find. Thank you...

Wonderful atmosphere and service. Our server, who turned out to be the owner, couldn't do enough for us but wasn't intrusive. The food was excellent. We shared a cheese and meat platter and a paté platter with a very good bottle of shiraz. We'll definitely...

Lovely warm ambient friendly place to dine. Very reasonable priced delicious food. Would highly recommend.

We were a group of 4 and a dog. We came here for breakfast, food and service was amazing. So amazing that we came here for breakfast every day of our stay. Nothing was a bother. Also a massive thank you to the cook, she is a legend and one of the friendliest people you will meet.

Nice place for a quick coffee and cake, very reasonable prices and dog friendly

Found this cafe by mistake but what a find. Staff friendly and very welcoming. Atmosphere was so relaxing and the food was fresh and delicious. Will definitely visit here again.

Looked friendly and warm so popped in,food and service was fantastic ..nice and warm.Freindly service and chatty staff

Really good soup and sandwiches

Really good tasty soup and sandwiches and service friendly and efficient

Staff were wonderful very friendly service excellent great fresh food at a reasonable price will be going back when ever I’m in Windermere.

Looking for a nice cream tea, sat outside in the sun, all staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble, half the price of a cream tea in the other cafés in the area, and I could have a beer afterwards!

Small cafe that serves drinks, snacks and alcoholic drinks. Nice cakes, good coffee. Friendly staff.

Lovely little welcomed place warmly feeling nice decor good food and wine definitely be returning in October.

Lovely lady owner made to feel very welcome, had some lunch sandwiches and a jam and cream scone really enjoyed it , followed by a bottle of red wine to wash it down highly recommend.

Lovely little place with friendly, helpful staff.

I love being able to say that the staff were as divine as the food. And they were and it was. The toilets were also super cute (see photo).

Brambles is our first choice for a snack in Windermere if I can park close by as I have difficulty walking. It suits us both just fine, good food, pleasant environment and very reasonable price. What more can you want? JK.

Popped in here for a drink. Lovely place. Friendly staff. It's a must if your near by! We will return

Really pleasant service and a lovely place on our last day for breakfast. Allowed our small white dog in as well.

This place is a little gem, food and drinks were excellent, staff were extremely polite and courteous. Lovely outdoor seating area, would highly recommend a visit.

Ordered a pizza today for £8 to realise it was a 99p frozen pizza from the shop…evidently the standards of cafe dining lack at this establishment as cafes in my hometown wouldn’t dream of serving frozen pizzas at 8X the original cost. Coffee was also scorching hot which burnt my tongue resulting in an inability to taste the pizza… suppose that’s a positive in the situation. Lady who served us was lovely though, hence the 2 stars.

We had a couple of sandwiches and coffee. All tasted great. The service was quick and friendly and the place is cute and clean. Recommended.

Visited today. Wonderful food and a very warm welcome from the owner. Definitely one to be recommended and we will be back.

Wow what a place ! Just the best 5 star experience you will get from the warm welcome to fabulous food and drinks to the whole customer experience. Karen makes you feel so welcome and her team are so attentive it’s a special little place...

Fantastic breakfast and welcoming staff. Locally sourced food, cooked to perfection. Great value compared to other local places. Recommended.

Wonderful friendly service and I can honestly say one of the best scones I've ever had, excellent value

We popped in for a cuppah late on a Thursday afternoon. The afternoon cream tea with scones and cream was on special at £4.95 so we had one each - yummy. All the staff were really chatty and friendly and the service was quick. We will be back
