Farrers Tea and coffee Shop in South Lakeland

If you enjoy a coffee and great slice of cake or light meal - I rate this is the best in the UK. OK, so I'm a Kendal lad, but my job means I've lived all around the UK and travelled overseas widely. It's a fun and quirky café (not the uniform brand marketing of many coffee shops) and has a great menu. The staff are very knowledgeable and after your coffee, will blend and grind coffee to your taste for you to take home. A visit to the Lakes is not complete without a coffee in Farrer's.

Lovely experience⭐️⭐️⭐️coffee and cakes were delicious😍 friendly service when choosing coffee in the shop, a great find!

We visited as three adults and two young children. The staff could not have been more obliging. We had a tasty lunch in very pleasant, quaint surroundings and I would thoroughly recommend a visit to this Tea and Coffee Shoppe in Kendal.

Unfortunately had a very bad experience we were given the wrong coffees and only realised after drinking a little,I politely asked if he would just remake one for my wife as it was too strong for my wife,the young man became very arrogant tried to blame us and would take no responsibility for his error,he said it would be chargeable even though it was his error,then a young lady came over and chipped in with very poor attitude as well,I asked to see management but was told no one there and was asked to leave the shop.sorry would not return and cannot recommend

We were greeted by 6 negative comments when we visited. 1. Please stand there and wait to be served. 2. We are very busy. 3. What have you come for? 4. Are you going to eat? To which I replied 'I would like to look at the menu'. 5. The wait time for food is 20 to 25 minutes. 6. Please just stand there (as I tried to pop my head around the corner to see how busy it was....) Needless to say we left.

Had read the good reviews for this tearoom/cafe & decided to try it on a visit to Kendal, we were not disappointed. The cafe is a unique old building, they serve brekfasts/meals/cakes & sell items for taking home. We had tea & wholemeal scones, delicous ! , the other cakes looked good too. Would go there again, worth a visit if you like something a bit different.

Great selection of food on the menu with lots of choice of hot and cold drinks Staff very friendly and could not do enough for all customers

Amazing tasting coffee and also great tasting cakes. We visited twice while we were in Kendal. Very friendly & great service too.

You just can't go wrong with this café two cups of hot chocolate to get you started it's the first stop after a long drive to Kendal

We spotted this on our first day and opted to try for coffee and bacon roll on day two and they were so good that became our place for breakfast during out stay. Large coffee and tea selection to be had as well as extensive breakfast menu. Coffee was amazing and by far the best crispy bacon roll we have had in a long time

A great pity to have to write a negative review about somewhere we've always enjoyed using, but I'm afraid we were distinctly unimpressed with our last visit. We both ordered soup. When it arrived, mine was piping hot, the other, (my wife's), cool-ish, so was sent back for re-heating. By the time it was brought back, (how can 2 minutes in a microwave take over 12 minutes!!?) I'd finished mine so that wasn't too good a start to the lunch. We were then left waiting for the table to be cleared and to then be able to order desserts and more coffee but despite the waitress "passing through" a number of times she didn't make any move towards us, so after waiting some time we gave up, paid, left (no one bothered to ask if everything had been o/k), and made our way to M & S café where we had delicious cakes and coffee. Maybe that should be our first port of call for lunch when we're next in Kendal.

Great tea shop, staff warm & welcoming on a rainy day in Kenda! Toasted ham sandwich with sourdough bread, shortbread and scone all excellent quality with an extensive selection of teas. Staff were so kind to an elderly lady who needed some help with ordering. Would definitely return when we are in the area.

Atrocious service. Staff unaware of what cakes on offer - 'it's written on the blackboard'. Coffee and scone brought to the table separately after a delay of about 5-7 minutes and two requests. After complaining when paying on departure I was asked 'Was everything else alright?'. NO.

Stopped here in the afternoon for tea and cakes. Really good tea and coffees. We all enjoyed our cakes all having something different. Good service.

Back again two cups of hot chocolate this time toasted tea cake and lovely slice of treacle toast for the American visitor it's a kind of 1819 Starbucks but alot better!

Visited the Lake District after many years absence and were distinctly underwhelmed with the meals we had had, until we found this gem of a place. Intended to just have a coffee but ended up having the smoked salmon and scrambled egg brunch which was delicious. This, plus a pot of the exceptional house blend dark roast coffee and a pot of green tea, both with easily 2 cups each for under £15. Staff were lovely, service quick and efficient, toilets spotless. Enjoyed reading about the history of the building. Such a refreshing change from the chain cafés.

A small quaint bustling cafe. Lovely freshly prepared lunch. Friendly staff. Can takeaway too, such as coffee which we took home

Quirky and traditional, friendly staff, great old world charm. Very busy in late morning which shows how popular it is.

Excellent service and wonderful food. We love calling into Farrers for a breakfast nap and coffee. Staff are always friendly and food and coffee excellent quality, reasonably priced as well. A wonderful place for visitors to see with all the old tea casks and the creaky floorboards!

A favourite place when we are in town. The cafe is very old fashioned, with a great range of food and drinks. The cafe also sells a wide choice of teas, coffees and associated equipment, together with some lovely gifts. Service is great and the staff very friendly. We love it!

Every time we visit Kendal Farrers is our first stop it's oldewollde it's something out of Harry Potter but because this is a very old building I don't if you have wheel chair access staff are always very helpful the coffees always good what more do you need to know?

Beautiful building and old world charm, seated quickly after short wait and had the most delicious coffee - had to buy some to take home in cute shop on ground floor - and a Cumberland bap.

Very good, lovely coffee at a good price and good service from Immy. Lovely place to sit outside and watch the world go by

Went in to buy some hot chocolate over the counter and my partner tried to engage the lady on the till in conversation about us having seen their products at a hotel in London to which she just grunted and wasn’t interested in the slightest. Must have finished the charm school course before it finished.

Truly, if you love chocolate and chilli, you must visit Farrer's Tea & Coffee House, Kendal (EST 1819) for one of their chilli chocolate brownies! Everytime I eat in or visit their little shop, I receive outstanding customer service - this brownie is outstanding too! Thank you especially to Abi who recommended the brownie today and served me so well. Abi, always lovely, was friendly, knowledgeable & professional. It is difficult to capture this brownie in words.. beautiful, fresh, decadent, with the most amazing textures - obviously packed full of quality ingredients. I had my first one today; taking the last two away with me! Compliments to the very gifted Baker and to the entire Farrer's Tea & Coffee House, Kendal team.

Lovely little tea/coffee house steeped in history. Our server (I didn’t catch her name) was extremely helpful and very informative. The food was exceptional, my husband said his coffee was really nice and he’s definitely a coffee connoisseur. I enjoyed perusing all the teas and am looking forward to trying the one I bought. Will visit again

Amazing little shop/cafe in Kendal, we came on a rainy day and essentially fell through the door by accident looking for somewhere dry to get a drink and thankfully we walked in here. Amazing tea&coffee selection both in the shop and cafe with good specials. I had the chicken & bacon toastie and my boyfriend had the sausage brioche patti and they were lush. Very attentive staff despite being busy when we came in. Cute and cosy, highly recommended!

Loved this little place from the moment we stepped through the door. From its 17th Century interior, to its wonderful selection of teas, coffees and chocolates to buy, to the wonderful, friendly staff to the sensational food it delivers on every single front. A truly unexpected but thoroughly enjoyable lunch stop with a two sensational teas to round off the visit. Exceptional especially considering how busy the place was.

Came for cake and tea,, fresh and scrumptious almond slice, tea came with extra hot water which is great. Efficient service...! .

Built in the 17th Century, this beautiful building is home to Farrer’s - a tea shop, that opened in 1819.Now it is a beautiful and quaint little tea shop where you can also stop for a quick snack. The staff were wonderful and attentive, and the food was to die for! (As well as really reasonable in price!) Thank you so much all, we will definitely be back ASAP to try your afternoon tea

Fab little tea room set over 3 floors, gorgeous cream tea!! Highly recommend as the place to stop off in Kendal

I've been buying Farrer's teas for years. They have an excellent range - current favourites 'Lakeland Special', Earl Grey, Rose Petal Congu.Definitely worth having morning or afternoon tea/coffee in their tea rooms on the main high street, the building dates back to the 16th century - full of atmosphere.

This has to be the best coffee in Kendal. Have been using the take away service since moving to Kendal at the start of the pandemic. Today we went inside and partook of the rhubarb and strawberry pie….I am in seventh heaven!As always staff were very helpful and friendly.You must call in if you’re in Kendal

Hands down, best coffee I have ever had! Great choice of menu, which included fresh, roasted coffee. Gorgeous shortbread and homemade tray bakes. Friendly and helpful service. It's a shame I do not live closer!

Excellent old-fashioned tea and coffee shop serving (and selling) their own teas and coffees. very convenient for town centre shopping. friendly and efficient service. just delightful.

I really enjoyed my smoked salmon and eggs on sourdough and I was impressed by the wide range of teas you can try in the cafe and buy in the shop.

We decided to have lunch here with my mum and son..The first impression of the place was just lovely then a member of staff helped us to our table.. My son is disabled and in a wheelchair and nothing was too much trouble. They helped us up and down the stairs without even asking..The food is delicious and the coffee is even better. We will definitely be visiting again.

On entering you can see that this place has quality tea, coffee and local products. We enjoyed our alfresco coffee stop

They’re only doing takeaway just now, but the coffee is as good as ever and there are a couple of tables on the street where you can sit and watch the world go by...

The range of coffee (and probably tea) available is extensive! You’ll find the typical Kenyan and Colombian, but you’ll also find a few different blends such as the Yemen or a house mix.The coffees we’ve tried have been exceptional, to the point where we always brought a coffee if Farrers was for sale.

I’ve been many times to this lovely coffee haven, and was in the mood for a different coffee. There’s a dozen or more ranked from highest roast to lightest. I tried the Yemen Mocha & wasn’t disappointed .... and later bought beans of the same to take home. Also had gluten free scone with damson jam. I love the atmosphere of the ancient building & it was nice to hear Spanish being spoken on the adjacent table - a blend of old England & International.

Only came here as we were desperate for breakfast and this was the 1st place we found, what a stroke ok luck.The seating is not luxury, but you can feel the history and atmosphere of the past 200 years.Food was simple, but perfect, soft white baps / cobs / rolls, with tasty sausage and bacon, simple but effectiveWe both love coffee, its our drink of choice, the choices on offer were amazing, blends from across the world, I was so impressed with the two blends i tried i had to buy some to take away with meStaff were friendly and helpfulWe spotted several shops around the lakes, saying they served Farrahs coffee, they all got out business,

So much nicer than today’s bland coffee shops, like stepping back in time. Great food for light lunch, pulled pork and crackling sandwiches and fantastic Welsh rarebit. And really good beer flavoured with tea! And very friendly service. Excellent!

Encantadora mezcla de un minorista de café y té y un café uni en un edificio antiguo encantador. El café es excelente con una buena selección de comida a precios razonables, un servicio rápido y una vez que haya terminado su comida, puede echar un vistazo a la excelente selección de tés y café que venden, así como todo lo que necesita para hacer té y café. Vence a las cadenas de café cercanas cada vez

Fantástico (Caro... Sí... Pero fantástico.)Tomé un desayuno inglés y una taza de té. . . hecho con hoja, no con bolsas. _BRILLANTE. Me he convertido a la libación de mi juventud.Incluso compró una bolsa de té y un colador de té.Personal encantador, artefactos fascinantes y fotos en las paredes.Apenas llegué.

Absolutamente fantástica comida y servicio. ¡Qué gran menú, podría haber vuelto todos los días durante una semana y haber tenido algo diferente! Tenía el sándwich de la semana que estaba delicioso, tamaño de porción perfecto. La selección de té y café era excepcional, al igual que la tarta / budín. Realmente acogedor y bien espaciado para un lugar pequeño en este momento. Personal amable y servicial, buena velocidad de servicio también. ¡No me puedo quejar de ninguna manera!

We both had coffee and scones, which were lovely! It was my first visit and the building itself is a reason to visit! Staff wearing masks, tables spaced out, sanitiser at the door. Will definitely visit again next time I’m in the area :)

Paramos aquí para comer el último día de nuestro viaje a los lagos. Con otra pareja y nuestros 2 perros nos recibieron calurosamente, todo el personal fue amable y la comida fue increíble. Nuestros amigos desayunaron, tomamos sopa y sándwich. Recién hecho y todo estaba delicioso. Compartimos una tarta de grosellas negras que era preciosa. El café era tan bueno que compramos un poco en la tienda para llevar a casa. Muy recomendable, ¡ojalá lo hubiéramos probado antes!

Quaint tea and coffee shop with cafe which is split over a number of floors. If you are visiting Kendal I would highly recommend a visit to Farrers.

Almorzamos aquí un martes húmedo y empapado de agosto, estaba delicioso. Lo cronometramos justo como cuando nos íbamos, había una cola de 20 minutos para una mesa, y luego otros 20 minutos de espera una vez sentados.La comida era deliciosa y los camareros eran muy amables y educados, y se tomaron el tiempo para responder a mis 4 preguntas sobre el edificio, a pesar de estar ocupado.Los almuerzos venían con una ensalada con un aderezo delicioso. Volvería a visitar aquí.

Found this cute coffee/tea shop by chance walking through Kendal. The peppermint tea was lovely as was the cream tea! Would highly recommend and would come again. You do have to wear a mask at all times unless your seated by the way!

There were 3 of us and 3 dogs so we were waiting for an outside table. A member of staff told us there was a table with room inside.We have 3 large dogs and there was ample room. Lovely old fashioned coffee shop ambience. We had a beautiful homemade soup, a panini which was gorgeous and side salad with an amazing dressing. Two of us had brownies and one opted for the meringue. Fantastic food and service, dog friendly and highly recommend.

This a lovely place - great coffee, great food and great hospitality, the staff and owner are very friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Love the fact that the food is all homemade too. We got chatting to the owner about the history of the establishment and about their 30 year journey as owners. Such a delightful place - definitely a must. They have created something very special. Our only regret is not being able to stay for lunch!

The interior is quaint and lovely. The staff are friendly and helpful and the food is delicious. Fast service and welcoming of our dogs. I hope to be back next time I’m in the lakes.

This place is a must go to! So we go here near enough everyday it is just so lovely! The food the drinks the staff everything is just perfect - we have built up a great relationship with all the staff they are so lovely and make sure your needs are met - since my little girl has been born she has been nearly everyday of her life apart from lockdown obviously and she loves going and gets so excited when we walk in and loves the staff just as much as we do. The food is fresh and so delicious, there is an array of cakes to choose from and the different coffees on offer are just something else.

Popped in for a snack and drink while out shopping. What a great choice of coffee and tea types. Also had a very tasty Cumberland sausage bap. A great find! Very pleasant atmosphere (Despite all the COVID precautions) and great staff serving too.

Called here for lunch just after lockdown restrictions were lifted. Delicious food, tasty drinks and friendly helpful staff.

We have been coming to this establishment for about 6 months and generally enjoy the scones and lovely loose leaf tea. We have had one occassion where we had to bring an issue to the attention of the manager but that was resolved. We visited today and were served a horrible pot of tea which tasted like grubby hot water. We just assumed they had made a mistake and given us a flavoured tea. However, when we asked about it we were told it wasn't a mistake but that they were trying a new tea. Why on earth would you substitute a perfectly acceptable loose leaf tea for a sub-standard variety! It was honestly the worst tea I have ever tasted and I simply couldn't drink it. The waitress brought more loose leaf tea for us to add to it to see if it improved the strength but to no avail. We were not approached to ask if that had remedied the situation. I ate my scone and left the tea. When asked if everything was okay at the till we explained and she replied that she hadn't been told it had changed, a bit odd that the staff are not made aware of what is going on. Anyway, I explained I couldn't drink the tea at all but the scone was lovely and we were then given the bill for scones and awful tea. Never in my life (and we eat out regularly) have I been asked to pay for something that was so horrible! We left and went to Booths cafe for a delicious pot of loose leaf tea. Needless to say we will not be visiting Farrers again.

I had the sandwich of the week, Bacon, Stilton Pear and walnut with black garlic ketchup on a warm flatbread served with peashoots. Absolutely delicious. The accompanying tea, whilst good was served in a teapot half full, which hardly gave a full cup. Perhaps a pot of water served with it would be an idea - though when we asked for water it was provided willingly. Will definitely head back there again soon.

Visit on sat with my friend opted for afternoon tea .was served by a young gentleman with excellent manners .I ask his name Dan .I would like to say what a lovely young helful gentleman advice us on what was in everything we ordered even gave us a bag to take our cske home in as we could not eat it as we were full .keep up good work always well worth a visit when u up in kendal always special on x

Estábamos buscando este lugar mientras leíamos buenas críticas, en un descanso de fin de semana solo mi novio y yo. Nos detuvimos para tomar un pastel y café por la tarde y estaba tan delicioso, por la forma en que la tienda miraba al servicio y la calidad de los ingredientes, todo fue increíble, teníamos café con leche y pasteles de chocolate y pudín de caramelo pegajoso, que fue el pudín más suave y pegajoso de todos los tiempos ! Sólo brillante. El personal es tan encantador y agradable verlos divertirse un poco y parece que disfrutan trabajar allí. Recomendaría 100% este lugar.

Famous for its coffee there is also a quirky little cafe serving their wide range if teas and coffees. Food is tasty and a good choice with daily specials at a reasonable price. Dog friendly area. Great shop too with chocs and gifts

Called in today 13th Nov ordered scones almond slice. All delicious with plenty of butter for the scones. Tbe coffee was very good and a reasonable price. We wiil be back. Staff were very helpful too with my elderly mother in law

Aunque decepcionado por no poder tener mi primera opción de comida, me sorprendió gratamente lo encantadora, ligera y sabrosa que era mi bollo caliente de queso y hierbas. Servido con una salsa picante de cebolla caramelizada que lo acompaña bien. Para el conocedor del café hay alrededor de 15 tipos diferentes, recién molidos y para todos los gustos. Recomiendo el Westmoreland. También se puede decir que la olla si té y pan de frutas fue bastante sorprendente. . . pellizcó a algunos de mis socios. .

Wow, some of the best coffee I've ever had! (French Roast) Such rich flavours. Also recommend the Old Kendal Smoke Tea.

Visited Farrer's after quite a while away. Used to go every time we were in the Lakes. Coffee is still as good and - boy do they feed you well. We had a toasted sandwich and Coronation chicken sandwich which comes with a salad. Think that one sandwich would have been enough for us both because they were massive. Really lovely food and waitresses are so professional, helpful and attentive. They also allow your dog in with you so we were very pleased, as was our little Yorkie.As we now live in Cumbria we will make a point of heading for Farrer's more often now.

Had our 2nd Visit to Farrer’s today, it’s still a great little place to eat, full of homemade goodies Quiche and pies ,Cakes, the Chef/Cook takes a bit pride in what he serves beautiful presented , all the staff are very friendly and pleasant, I had a tuna sandwich and comes with fresh side salad and I guess homemade coleslaw, I wished I’d took a picture of my plate as it looked and tasted delicious, wished I lived in Kendall I’d be here once or twice a weekSee u in 12 months

My wife had already been here before, so I trust her recommendation. What a great shop. Then upstairs for the tea room. A bit of cake, no problem. Great service, great toilets and it was such an interesting establishment.

Stopped in Kendal on our way to Scotland looking for a quick lunch to break the journey. Lovely historic building, friendly staff, food was great, coffee and tea were really nice and the carrot cake was amazing. Thank you!

Came across this oasis of calm and old-world beauty on a wet day in Kendal. From the antique decor to the attentive and professional staff it is a haven of culture in a brash world of poor service and plasticity. All of the cakes etc are made on the premises and there’s a huge selection of teas and coffees. Sip, sit back and enjoy!

I love a good scone and have one at most cafes I go to (I have a lot of scones!).

Been here on a few occasions for Coffee and for Lunch. Dropped in for Lunch again and as ever good quality food with friendly service. Really quaint surroundings. Good variety on the menu.

Love visiting Farrers for coffee every time when we go into town, great stop to rest your feet while shopping. Good service always

My boyfriend said he wanted to take me to his favourite cafe/ tea and coffee shop. Well I was not disappointed, very prompt polite service. Was busy but they had a table spare (not sure why people think there's no custom) we were served quickly and our tea and scones came soon after. Both were lovely and delicious. The range or teas and coffee blew my mind, was hard to choose. My favourite part of the experience was how it felt like you stepped back in time, all the original features and so very quaint. Refreshing to go somewhere that was well kept and the smells were amazing. Brilliant shop, brilliant cafe, lovely service and a true treasure hidden away.

Visited here with my husband, good variety on menu, love that you actually have a coffee menu as well , service was quick , food was so delicious , I had the sandwich of the week which was amazing and so tasty and my husband had the watermelon and feta salad which Looked delightful , really enjoyed the coffee I chose, it’s lovely inside and would definitely recommend and will be returning in the future

Time 12.00 Thursday. Empty. Wait 15 min no one came to ask us coffe or lunch. In the kitchen 4 waitress. Just decide to go no point to stay. If they don't want customers they did right, because we left.

Always try to visit when I'm in Kendal as I love the place. Visited with my wife and young son after staying in Windermere. We got a coffee (1819 blend), a latte, the breakfast and a tuna & cheese toastie. Drinks were brought to the table within 5 minutes and were very nice - so much infact that I bought a bag of the 1819 blend to take home with me. Food arrived not long after and was tasty and plentiful. Will definitely be back, even if its just to buy more coffee.

We ordered three teas one coffee , two cheese scones,two fruit scones , simple we thought . After a acceptable wait one tea was brought out , ten minutes later one cheese scone , five minutes later the second cheese scone was served the waitress asked if jam was required ,we declined.five minutes later a fruit scone was brought with jam and clotted cream a further five minutes passed the second fruit scone was served. With butter and jam, but, no cream . When we pointed out there was no cream we were advised they would bring it but we would have to pay extra for it. . What a shambles. The staff had no idea what they were doing , such a simple order.Never again.

Situada en un edificio antiguo, la tienda hace uso de cada centímetro de su espacio reducido. En la planta baja hay un comedor, hay una entrada en la planta baja con una amplia selección de tés para comprar, luego un entresuelo con un área de compra adicional, y finalmente un piso superior y medio, que alberga la mayoría de las mesas de comedor restantes. Tuvimos una breve espera para una mesa, y luego nos sentamos arriba. La comida estaba compuesta por muchos de los sospechosos habituales, como tostadas, sopas, sándwiches y similares. Todo recién preparado y generalmente sabroso, aunque el Rarebit era algo así como una desviación de lo que estábamos acostumbrados. El servicio fue eficiente y acogedor. Por supuesto, el té y el café eran de primera clase.

Special tea/coffee house in the centre of Kendal. Even have a few tables and chairs on the pavement. This place serves wonderful tea and coffee, the staff are friendly and work hard. The only thing that puts me off is the stairs, not good for the old knees. x

Amazing collection of Coffee's and Tea's. Call in and stay for coffee and cake. Well worth the visit

good food, comfortbl good food, comfortable, great atmosphere, historic - would recommend it to anyone

Nice afternoon tea scones and cakes, coffee was good too. The setting inside is really unique and staff were friendly, would recommend

Lovely old building- 200 years old. Had a good coffee and my daughter enjoyed an unusual tea- which she enjoyed. Had a few cakes- though a bit too sweet for me. Would go back again for the coffee and a less sweet option!

Stopped here for a coffee with hubby while away for a two night break in Kirkby Lonsdale.Lovely old building cozy and relaxing with wood burner..Lovely coffee

Excellent service, great coffee, amazing ambience. We had coffee in the morning. It was so good we went back for tea in the afternoon. The chocolate cake and carrot cake were excellent.

Called in for a quick coffee and some cake. Not just a coffee/tea shop but also have the opportunity to try the range of teas and coffees the company produce, clearly not all on one visit.

Expanding dad's horizons in Kendal we chose to eat at Farrers so we could sample the coffee and tea. Everything was delicious. The menu is not huge, but everything is well done and the service is quite speedy - even though we were warned that there'd be small delay, we didn't have to wait too long.

Whilst in Kendal we visited Farrers purely for the shop. Shop has an extensive range you can purchase and take home, yes a little pricey but you get what you pay for ... quality products. The reason for the review is more so for the staff who were very helpful and not intrusive. Great team with a warm welcome and knowledge. Next time we’ll stop in the coffee shop, we’d just had lunch so hence the reason why we didn’t.

Me and my husband visited here for lunch today and it was amazing. I found this place on TripAdvisor and we weren't disappointed.

A 200 year old grade 2 listed building we were told made for quaint and homely surroundings.

The weather was horrid, cold ,with sleet falling so after shopping we decided to treat ourselves to a light lunch and chose here as we had been several times for morning coffee & cake we liked the quirkinesses of the place

When in Kendal we always eat here, comfy and warm with friendly staff, the jacket spud with chili con carne is to die for and the coffee is fantastic with obviously being a coffee merchants they have a wide range for you to try and the pudding displays are a joy to behold.

On holiday in The Lakes and decided to visit Kendal for the day. Not knowing the place, asked a local police officer where was the best place to go for coffee. She recommended Farrers as it was her favourite place.

Called in for a coffee and light lunch. Tried a special blend Cafetière, as they sell many different blends which tasted great. Also tried a sandwich which was very tasty. All the staff were very helpful and chatty. Would certainly recommend visiting this establishment if you are ever in Kendal. I know we will certainly visit again.

Just weighed the supposed 125 gram pack of coffee I bought last week. Weight including packet 116 grams. Not good enough.

Popped in here for a light lunch & it was amazing! I had the prawn & salmon salad which was delicious, generous portion size but lots of cucumber & I don’t like cucumber but as I didn’t mention this that’s my own fault! Wife had a J.Pot with tuna which was very nice but the star of the show was dessert! The most amazing Sticky Toffee Pudding, soooooooo delicious & a big portion & I had the white chocolate & cranberry brownie which was sooo gooey. We were just expecting a quick lunch & got so much more & ive not even mentioned the amazing range of tea & coffee too!!!

The building gleaming dark wood floors and staircases opening into separate rooms with large and small tables. Heavenly smell of fresh ground coffee which when the cafetière came was as good as the smell. The fruit scones were served warm - not my preference as it spoils the texture. It took a while for someone to take our order but then it was brought quickly and served with a smile. This is a little gem of a traditional coffee house and I hope it stays around for a long time to come.

Such a quaint old building that houses a delightful coffee and eating place, but most impressive apart from the wonderful range of coffees is the wonderful service, so polite and welcoming that they should get an award for service alone.

Arriving in Kendal we went fot Breakfast at this old world tea room. the tea was very good and the food excellent.
