Cafe4EDEN in Eden

Excellent luxury hot chocolate plus trillionaires shortbread made my grand daughter very happy! Friendly and efficient staff. Quirky decor. Completely inclusive.

Very good for just a snack or a light meal. Staff very helpfull. Great meeti g place for family and friends or meetings in seperate room.

You won't find a better cup of coffee anywhere and Rosie's biscuits are the best especially thE oat ones. TOP SPOT!

Lovely cafe. Great coffee and relaxed atmosphere with plenty of natural light and warm radiators on a cold day. Didn’t feel rushed on. Food looks great so will try some next time.

Had a long meeting here, it was warm, clean, the staff were very friendly and food was great. Thanks!

Been a number of times .... Really worth a visit good food reasonably priced and it's a super charity.

I’ve eaten here a few times now with friends, family and solo and every time the food and service have been great. The flatbreads are particularly delicious (and filling!). I totally recommend eating here - thanks all and keep up the good work!

A variety of dishes to tempt you, with friendly helpful staff.

Absolutely amazing service, proper good grub and with such nice views you can't go wrong.

Friendly staff and delicious food. Their vegan food was imaginative and really tasty. It was also a lovely surprise to find out there was a range of vegan cakes on offer. The place has a nice, relaxed atmosphere as well. Highly recommend a visit!

Not dog friendly..letting your dog in the "cafe"whilst you order drinks does not make this dog friendly if you have to go outside and sit on a table in the graveyard,in the rain.overpriced..

Lovely clean and welcoming cafe great choice of food and drink would definitely highly recommend

Just had the most delicious vegan carrot cake ever! the coffee with oat milk was very good as well & fantastic customer service!! can't wait to go back, highly recommend!!

Delicious food, fantastic milkshakes and really friendly staff! Would definitely recommend visiting if you are in Penrith!

Absolutely top notch food. We had a Mediterranean flatbread and a barbecue chicken flatbread.... delicious...what a great menu instead of the usual sandwich or jacket potato options What a gem of a place

**UPDATE** The cafe is now in the St Andrew's Parish Centre in Penrith town centre!! New wonderful menu, same fabulous staff, now in a lovely big, welcoming room next to the beautiful church gardens! We had a Lamb Rogan Josh and a Garlic Mushroom Flatbread and both were superb. They also now do milkshakes - we can recommend the banana with toffee sauce nomnom! Fabulous café. the food is amazing and all freshly made. The coffee is delicious and the staff are fantastic. We love visiting this little gem of a place, plus the organisation to which it belongs is doing amazing things within the Eden Valley and helping vulnerable people to live their best lives.

Coffee could've been hotter, other than that a nice place

The food was ok, inside it's very small. Avoid at lunch time as shop keepers all eat here at once so cafe staff can't serve anyone else and they take up the whole cafe and eat all the best dishes.

Good food and friendly and helpful service. Nice range of cakes. A nice spot within the hall walls.

The nicest sausage and bacon butty myself and my girlfriend have ever had, great polite staff and it was a great experience! Thank you will visit again when we are in the area!

This was our first time coming to the cafe, & its a lovely little cosy place, in the surrounding Brougham Hall. On entry to the right you will find the large specials board, & then a cake counter. There were plenty options to choose from, but we had two hog roasts. Both tasted great, & as described they came with stuffing, apple sauce & crackling. We also took away a cheese scone & seeded flapjack, these were equally as tasty. It’s so good to see that it’s cafe by the community, for the community. The only negative comment I would say, is there was many different options of food, for a small cafe, maybe it would be more simpler condensing the menu down, & executing it well?

The kids love cafe4eden. There are lots of treats to choose from & the biscuits (pictured) are designed by the bake team who have learning disabilities & autism. 4eden also train people with Learning disabilities to work in the cafe, their bakery & other projects. The setting is lovely with lots for little people (& big) to explore, theres plenty of outdoor seating & a small indoor cafe with a log burner for those winter days. The kids recommend the Teddy pizza & brownie. Mum & Dad like the stone soup with cheese scone or ultimate cheese toasties with favourite 4eden cakes being millionaires shortbread or Almond slice or amazing Mars or...

Stumbled upon this place on our way home from the lakes and very glad we did. We had leak and potato soup with the best cheese scones I’ve ever had from a cafe!

Great value for money - a cozy little cafe that serves a lovely menu for all diets. Vegan bean stew was delicious, as was the soup and veggie curry. A great range of teas on offer in lovely ceramic mugs. Soy candles and other crafts for sale too - and friendly service.

Lovely place. Fantastic food. Wonderful friendly staff. Thank you.

Brilliant little cafe in Brougham castle, great food and cakes with lovely little shops in the grounds. Great place to stop

This little cafe is worth a visit just to try the wonderful cheese toasties. But the hit chocolate is also excellent, lovely selection of teas and amazing array of cakes. The staff are friendly and efficient. You can sit outside and snuggle up with blankets or sit in the cosy interior. It is worth making a detour for!

Great little place, pleasantly surprised by the quality and selection of food. Good area for kids and dogs. Thanks for being accommodating when it came to food for a 1 year old. Keep doing what you’re doing!

I feel like we stumbled on our own little piece of heaven. The grounds are beautiful but the food and people in the cafe are exceptional. I am only sorry we discovered it on the last day of our holidays or I would have been tempted to have my 3 meals a day - every day here! Well done for being more than your average cafe- everything you do is done with care and love. We will be back! 10/10 from us.

Lovely place to eat with beautiful surroundings

Without a doubt the best sausage and Bacon sandwich I've ever had. Avoid the service stations on the M6 stop on here, very chilled beautiful setting and great food

Lovely lunch, particularly the cheese scones, and great coffee - thank you!

Delicious home cooked food, healthy salads, good coffee and tea. Cakes looked tasty too. We had quiche and salad, very generous portions we could have shared. Service was good and pleasant staff. We ate undercover outside but some seating inside too. Definitely worth a visit as the craft workshops are great too. A hidden gem.

Great food, friendly staff, beautiful setting, wonderful get together with ex colleagues, a fantastic afternoon, thank you!

Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Yummy food and contributing to an important cause. Nice surprise 😊

Really lovely place. Great selection of really delicious food. Impressive selection of vegan options. Great place for anyone to stop but especially if you're travelling with dogs or kids as there's a lot of space to run around. Some really lovely stuff in the studios around the courtyard as well.

Such a lovely setting inside Brougham Hall. The cakes and food are lovely with a good selection. Quite the sun trap. An added bonus is the lobby little pottery studios and jewellery designers to browse through.

This place is fab. Well worth a visit. Nice food in a lovely setting

Loved it. A few of us popped in on bikes and we were all delighted. Thank you :)

We discovered this great place recently and can’t recommend it highly enough. Beautiful location, amazing food and fantastic staff who were so helpful with our puppy too! We will definitely be back.

This is a small cafe that packs a huge variety of food options in - carnivore, vegetarian and vegan all catered for. Service was friendly and the hot drinks were top-notch. Covid-safe, too.

Cafe4eden is such a lovely cafe. Great food friendly staff. Great ethos. Thankyou

Lovely little cafe food was really tasty and great service from staff.

Great place for s short stop, lovely location, friendly staff, delicious locally sourced food and a wide selection including (but not limited to) gluten-free and vegan

Fantastic location, lovely staff, wide range of locally sourced food including gluten free and vegan, strongly recommended

We had the sweet potato and butterbean stew and it was beautiful. Excellent range of food and a friendly service. Be sure to visit this place.

Superb setting , great food and fantastic service. Thanks to Lee and the team. We regularly drop in for coffee and have had lunch on numerous occasions too. Always fab food.

We've made a few visits here for breakfast and lunch. A quiet spot with fresh, quality food and good coffee! They also stock Fentimans including my favourite, Rose Lemonade. Plenty of space for the kids to run around and explore, and local art and craft shops/studios to browse.

Recommended to try this place by the lady at Brougham Castle - feel I need to go back and thank her. We had Stone soup (which was hot, spicy vegetable soup with hearty lumps in it, accompanied by warm homemade bread. We added sausages served...

Lovely place to visit. The cake is delicious and staff always friendly. The coffee is great too! Highly recommend!

The stone soup was delicious, almost as good as the cheese scones! Friendly service if a little slow, but meal was definitely worth the wait.

We recently stopped at a motorway service area and it was scary; too many people pretending Corona did not exist. Never again. So on an M6 journey, we pulled into this café in the remains of a 14th century fortified manor house a mile south...

The team were so wonderful and prepared a delicious afternoon tea feast for us. Our children were made super welcome and the staff were brilliant. Couldn't have asked for any more. Will absolutely be back. Thank you so much for all your effort, it was so much appreciated!

We only stopped by for a coffee and a cake, but it's a lovely setting and the drinks and cakes were very good.

Stopped off here for a drink while out walking along the river. The cafe is situated within the grounds of Brougham Hall, along with a few other small shops/workshops. It was a sunny day, so we were able to sit outside and enjoy the surroundings.

Nice little cafe in a lovely location. Great social distancing measures and friendly, quick service. Wide-ranging menus at good prices, with very tasty coffee. Would have liked my cake on a plate but given the circumstances I guess they are trying their best to avoid...

We went here during one of our morning walks for a coffee and scone. Chose a cheese scone to share. Big mistake. We were told that the scones were fresh in that morning. I don't think so. Scone was packed too full of cheese which...

We walk to Brougham Hall from Penrith regularly, often just because it gives us a chance to stop for a coffee and scone. The coffee is always good, flat white as it should be! The cheese scones are really good, and are also available to...

Popped in for a quick lunch, found the decor delightful, a cold winters day out side, but go into the cafe to find a wood burner in the corner giving a warm feeling in the room. A small bu delightful place with a range of...

Stumbled upon this cafe as we were castle jumping in the Cumbria area. WOW! Fresh food, unbelievable breads, and enjoyable conversation. Take the time to relax in the picnic area as the kids run about. Can't wait to visit again!

This is a lovely little cafe near Penrith. Set in the grounds of Brougham Hall, this is staffed and run by Mencap and supports local young people with disabilities. The interior is totally kitsch and vintage; gorgeous seats and decor. The food is lovely, brilliant...

We walked to this lovely little cafe from Brougham Castle at the recommendation of the castle staff and, while the walk was a little further than we expected, it was well worth the effort. The cafe itself is fairly small, our party of 8 took...

Lovely location in Brougham Hall. I had smoked salmon and salad which was a wonderful plateful, lovely flavours. The coffee was very good. Service was friendly and very helpful.

Dat zie je te weinig in Engeland: gezond eten, lekker en met veel groente. Leuke sfeer, mooi project.

My partner and two young kids called in for lunch today (Sunday). Despite the cafe being busy we were served very quickly with what I must say is the best cafe food around. Plus it’s licencensed which is always a bonus! Very impressed and thank you to the wonderful staff!

Found this fab place on our A6 Roadtrip when we were getting desperate for a bite to eat. Couldn’t believe our luck. Good food, good value, good service and a castellated courtyard bathed in sunshine!

Excellent value for money. We had three dishes. One being a huge salad, the other two being ciabattas with bacon and Cumberland sausage. The bacon and sausage were of a very high quality indeed. All for £12 in total. The staff were accommodating and friendly. The surroundings of Brougham Hall are beautiful and well worth an explore.

Superb baguettes, full of fresh meat with a really interesting salad including fresh blueberries! Much more than expected. Friendly service.

In the grounds of Brougham Hall which is an added bonus for a visit if you haven’t been before. Lovely little cafe, service was a little slow but it seemed everything was all nice and fresh so worth the wait. We had the sausage and bacon roll as well as the cheese to-sties which came with a mound of salad.Kids pizza was not amazing for £5, which I though was a bit steep. Great coffee as well. I would recommend a visit and would go again. Expect to pay about £5/6 for each snack.

Just had a lovely late lunch here, we shared a Ploughman’s Platter and it really filled us up. Stone soup was delicious! Very friendly staff and the location is gorgeous.

Hard to find this little cafe but when we did we were excited by the scenery which was gorgeous. I think I'd misread a previous review as we came here for afternoon tea which had previously been highly recommended.

Brougham Hall is a must visit. From the rustic surroundings to the wares on offer from beautiful photographs for sale, to the pottery with its quirky designs to silver jewellery and more. I have to say the best for me was Cafe4eden, the food offered was wholesome, homemade, with lots of choice, vegan products too, my ultimate cheese toastie was the best I've had with a beautifully presented salad to accompany.Couldn't resist the home made cheese scones to take home too, delicious. I can't recommend this highly enough, a must see visit.

Great food and great location. I must have driven past this on the A66 many dozen times and not ventured the short detour to find it. Great place with open space to run the dog. Will return!

Epic toastie and fancy salad for cheap.

We went looking for somewhere new to stop for some lunch just off the A66 near Penrith and read previous reviews on this. It ticked all the boxes for us gluten free and dog friendly. The cafe has picnic tables outside, covered outdoor seating area, indoor seating and the food was delicious. We opted for gluten free cheese and tomato panini, ciabatta prawn sandwich both beautifully presented with a really devious side salad and hot chocolates. Staff were really friendly. We also took away massive cheese scone and the gluten free millionaire shortbread which was yummy! Looking forward to popping back in the next time we’re passing.

Fabulous breadfast of ciabatta roll with bacon (the bacon was cooked to perfection) Fabulous choice of teapigs to choose from, but for me the best part by far was the use of local made pottery to serve the food and drinks (all of which you can buy from Brougham Hall pottery should you wish to treat yourself) Cafe 4Eden are driven by a view to helping local community - I'd highly recommend dropping in for stone soup or a cuppa. It was our first visit under the new ownership (and Kim's footsteps are hard to fill) but it's a 10/10 from us - we'll definitely be back 😀

This cafe is set within the walls of Brougham Hall in a beautiful setting. I had a cheese toastie with salad: baby salad greens, blueberries, many coloured tomatoes, pomegranate seeds; all absolutely delicious. Real coffee too! The staff are very friendly; and you can wander round the pottery shop opposite which has beautifully made hand thrown ceramics.

If you’re driving through Penrith this is a must stop. Everything from vegan ice cream to rustic rolls, the romantic courtyard punctuated by quirky potters and jewellery makers is inviting enough, but the fantastic staff add the icing to the homemade cakes. Recommend!

3 of us Visited the beautiful little cafe we sat outside in the lovely Easter weather, there’s plenty of outside seating, with plenty of different choices on menu we all had baguettes which are so tasty, we had the Italian chicken filling, a Cumberland sausage (sausages are so good) and a yummy egg mayo baguette all come with a lovely salad and creamy coleslaw and veg crisps.

Wow what an amazing place. Visited on Sunday, had a delicious bacon roll and cappuccino. We were served by a lovely young man called Kieran . Bought some traybake to takeaway which were extremely tasty. Will definitely be making a return visit

We came here while on holiday. The food has to be some of the best and freshest I have had for lunch in a cafe. Staff and atmosphere were lovely. We came in with another two families and their kids we were made very welcome. Would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a lovely lunch. We would definitely go back if we are ever in the area again.

We visited Cafe4Eden almost by accident whilst looking for somewhere to eat when visiting Brougham Castle. The food was lovely and the staff very friendly. My youngest daughter is fussy eater and the staff made her a sandwich to her tastes. The surroundings are also lovely - we ate outside in the courtyard.

Visited for the first time today. Beautiful little place so glad we found it. We just had cakes and hot chocolate but will definitely be going back here for food. Graham was here working today and what a lovely great friendly guy. It’s so so lovely to see work and places like this providing different experiences. Really warmed my heart coming here. Great work guys! X

Worth the short drive from Penrith. What a great find, fantastic location, great staff, and great food what more could you ask for. Go along enjoy the Cafe and the Hall.

In the grounds of Brougham Hall. Visiting is must. Simply the best cakes I have ever had. Wonderful cosy place with a lovely log burner and whistling kettle.

Popped in here with my husband and two kids on the way home. Lovely traybakes: we had choc orange, oreo, caramel shortbread and the 'best' brownie which was delicious. Reasonably priced and big portions! We liked the relaxed atmosphere and cosy stove which was welcome on a very wet and blustery day. Great to see a cafe and community project rolled in to one. I'll be back!
