What a gem! The service was nothing but great! Really friendly and welcoming. My partner and I had full breakfasts which were really nice. While waiting the waiter popped over to show off a freshly baked quiche. Couldn't resist and ordered a sliced to go. Once ready to pay we have spotted all the lovely cakes on display. Couldn't resist either and got couple to t/a. Amazing!!! Lemon drizzle 😍 I would love an option for hash brown with my breakfast, but that's because on top of cakes I love potatoes ;) Hash browns or not its a must visit when around Ambleside!!! Also coffee is yum!

Popped in this afternoon after a bike ride for a coffee and cake. The first waiter in his late 20s very friendly and accommodating. Then an older guy maybe in his 60s came out to take our order. Had a good bit of banter with him and made our trip memorable. Thanks.

Had passed by this place a few times on way into Ambleside and thought of giving it a try. So on my final day in the lakes I thought a hearty breakfast was just the thing before a 400+ mile drive, staff very friendly and accommodating inside was small but has outside tables also, it's as close to a greasy spoon as you are going to get outside of the city and in a tourist area, That said the price for breakfast as lovely as it was about £10+ with tea n toast is a bit much but I suppose I'm used to the workmans greasy spoon. I kinda expected the price seeing as where I was in the country so its not a complaint. The food was delicious and I would go again. Just 1 thing..... No 2 things please offer tinned tomatoes as an option instead of a 1/4 of a real one and black puddings and hash browns. These things are a staple of an English breakfast and would make the price worth every penny.

Called at this cafe on Saturday 24th august, having a bowel disability and desperate, I was greeted by a member of male staff, I told him I had a disability and asked if I could use the facilities, to which he replied, no I’m sorry but if you would like to make a purchase from the pie company next door I could probably use theres or walk further up the road and use the public ones, I informed him I couldn’t make it that far and was still turned down!! I would of been more than happy to pay for a drink or so to use the facility, I felt embarrased talking about my disability and having to explain myself especially as it was infront of customers, embarrassed and feeling degraded i left, absolutley shameful!

Nice food but the older gentleman seating and taking orders was I thought really rude, basically asked if we wanted to sit in doors/ outdoors...all the outside tables were taken so we decided the only option was to sit in, it was very hot inside so before our order came we asked to move to a vacant table outside....well, he agreed to move us then continued to give us a lecture on how 'he doesn't do that' and 'next time you come, remember that... We felt that we were back in school and well and truly told off.... customer service 0 from us and definitely won't go back ! The rest of the staff we interacted with were lovely.....I know it's annoying wanting to move tables, but sort your attitude out !!

Where do I start. I could write a book about our brilliant experience here. 1) The waiter that served us - very knowledgeable and helpful and set a lovely tone to our late lunch/ early dinner. 2) The portion sizes were outstanding! 3) The flavour, freshness and quality was brilliant. 4) The cake selection was a different ballgame. Some traditional cakes and some unique flavours. 5) The price. Very Very reasonably priced. I would've been happy paying 30% more than I did for the proportion, quality and taste of the food. Was absolutely outstanding!

It's near one of the main car parks which we used, we were hungry and it was in the right place at the right time. So glad we went in for lunch. Only had toast, beans, mushrooms and fried egg but it was lovely with the mushrooms dry as we like them. Staff very friendly and they brought over their house special, home made quiche for us to see. Looked amazing so we took away a few (large) slices to have for lunch the next day. Tasted even better than it looked, both meat & vegetarian options. We'll be going back next time we're in Ambleside. Update, Christmas Eve 2022. Enjoyed our last few visits so much we decided to have Christmas Eve breakfast here. As good as our last visits, beans, egg & mushrooms on toast with the nicest mushroom we've had in a long time. Got some scones & Christmas cake to take away. Aug 2024. Still as good as ever and the Breakfast quiche looked very tasty.

Really knowledgeable about gluten free options, and extremely friendly!

Excellent coffee and a good price too. As with all successful cafés it can get busy. Nice selection of cakes. Dropped a star as, being a local, I felt the service was too touristy... Wait to be seated, sit here type of thing rather than restful and laid back. But that's not to detract from the café and we will definately be back.

Visited this little gem of a place just a couple of weeks ago with another group of walkers who were absolutely left jaws open on the service received for example couldn't do enough for them, nothing was any trouble, never visited a place with such good service and the food lovely. So I returned today happy to see them so busy, was told my wait for food was 40 mins proceeded to be seated at 1015 approx hour an half later my breakfast turned up with a genuine apology no problem honestly was nice to sit and wait and to see how busy this small cafe was bearing in mind all food is prepared fresh I seriously didn't have an issue So advice when busy expect to wait and it will be worth it definitely pay them a visit I'll continue telling my passengers to keep popping in rare you get a lovely personal cafe like this now

Friendly staff that seem to really enjoy what they do. There can sometimes be a bit of a wait for food, but we always prefer that things are cooked to order and things are consistent. Absolutely fantastic food and hot drinks. The large cappuccino I had was smooth and served at the right temperature (not piping hot & not lukewarm). The food was absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. They have a great selection of breakfast options - we had the veggie breakfast that was very nice. It is the perfect kind of food that you need after being out and about hiking, biking, or running. We always love coming back to this place when we’re visiting the Lakes. It is by far one of the best cafes we’ve tried.

Based on other TA reviews we called here today for a spot of lunch. A very warm welcome for is both and our dog Ruby and although inside was full we were fine to sit outside. Whilst looking at the menu the very friendly waiter brought out a quiche straight from the oven that looked fabulous so my husband chose that and I had the Thai butternut squash soup that came with a hot crusty roll and butter. My husband said it was the best quiche he had ever had!! I tasted it and it was delicious..My soup was fabulous- just the right amount of spice/ heat. Freshers you are doing great and we look forward to our next visit- thank you 😊

We visit most times we come up to Ambleside and have never been disappointed. Today we shared a piece of breakfast quiche, the picture is my half of it. Our toddler loves coming too, and whenever we've come with a dog, they've been very welcome too. I don't know if I wish it was closer to home, or glad it's sufficiently far away that I can't be in every week!

We had a lovely time eating (in the outdoor area) here; our waitress (Lucy) was friendly, attentive and cheerful. My husband enjoyed the full English breakfast whereas I chose the 'Breakfast Quiche' (served with salad) which was absolutely delicious! This was topped off with coffee and Victoria Sponge cake and Tiffin respectively... the latter proved too filling for me so when I went inside to pay, another lady offered me some tin foil to wrap it up in to take away! Super service and would definitely recommend this place 🤗 Thank you very much!

How's that for value for money? And don't forget the coffee. Probably the nicest cup of coffee I have ever had - anywhere! All enjoyed in a great location with a wonderful atmosphere. I will definitely be returning and sooner rather than later. Photo. As fresh as it gets! Straight out of the oven. This "All Day Breakfast in a Quiche" seems like a good idea. Too big for my backpack today but noted for future reference.

What a pleasure. The people are absolutely wonderful, and the food meets that standard. There's a real family atmosphere. We got a full English and a breakfast bap. We asked for the bacon do be well done, and for the fried eggs to be flipped for a second to make sure the yolks were perfect. They did it all with a smile. They treated our dog like royalty, and gave up their time to tell us everything about all 12 cakes for which their 91-year-old matriarch was largely responsible. The next time I'm in Ambleside I'll make a beeline for Freshers Cafe, for sure.

What can I say about Fresher's Cafe! Its so rare these days that you visit anywhere that far exceeds your expectations! But Fresher's does just that. If I could rate this place 6 stars I would. Everything is excellent. Food, service, customer care, product quality, and staff all first class. I didn't catch the guys name who served us, but I'm guessing he was the owner. He could teach just about every other restaurant and service industry a lesson in how things should be done correctly. He deserves all the success in the world. We had the breakfast quiche which was superb. Wish I was more local, because I can't wait to go back.

This is my first time visiting Ambleside. We had just gotten a cruise on the lake, and my two friends and I were very hungry. My friend found this place when we were booking activities. As soon as you step in, everyone says hi to you, you get shown to a table. Extra tables added if needed. The staff of the cafe are all friendly and helpful with great customer service. With full table service. They do offer takeout also. The atmosphere of the place was warm and welcoming. With homemade decorations. You get told about the menue, the soup and the quich. They show a lot of pride in their food. Which shows in the quality. The qauility is oustanding! They could probably get away with charging 5x more than what they already charge. It is amazingly cheap for the quality of the food, which is very surprising. I decided to go with the breakfast full english quich, with side salad and beans. Im not a massive fan of colslaw, but this colslaw was so fresh that I actually found myself enjoying it. The quich itself, It looked amazing when the gentleman brought it to the table to show us. I was enticed and so glad I chose to go with the Quich! It was full of flavour that complented each other well whilst keeping that traditional quich taste. My friends enjoyed their food also. Selection of drinks was fair and again at a good price. I brought a vanilla milkshake with cream, and it was amazing! Full of flavour and fresh. They have a wide selection of different cakes, which are all homemade. The taste of the coffee cake was sublime. When we made the cake order, they came out and sung happy birthday without being planned to my friend cause it was his birthday. Definitely would come again, 10/10 5 star!

What a fantastic little cafe! Popped in for a breakfast butty and a coffee around lunch time. Wasn't sure if they'd still be serving them but delighted to find out they cook them fresh all day. One of the best butties I've had, and I'm a tradesman! Coffee and cake were top notch too. Lovely ambience, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Will certainly be back when I'm working in the area!

I should have written this review when I first came here a small number of years ago. I was reminded to do so by my visit today. The quality of the food is outstanding, and it is freshly cooked (no microwave reheating as with many competitors in town). Everyone will have their favourites. Mine are the breakfast baps, I’ve not tasted better, and available all day. That plus the fresh cakes and homemade soup make it special. Good value too. The service is superb. It’s a family business, and it shows - they care and can’t do enough for you. Too many alternatives in Ambleside are simply not good enough, and others which are longer-standing rest on their laurels. Not mentioning any names! You’ll figure it out. Walk a few hundred yards further and you won’t be disappointed.

Three of us enjoyed brunch. Glad we booked as it was busy. 3 different meals were all nicely cooked. If I had just one small criticism , the hash brown on breakfast was a bit too fragrant with herbs , to be on a breakfast plate. But that's just a personal taste thing! Friendly helpful staff. Nice atmosphere.

A great cafe where I suggest everyone to go. Everyone in Kendal must give here a try. Delicious Turkish foods. I suggest everyone to try Simit. Great staff and great food.

Quirky little coffee shop/bar. Atmosphere is very chilled and relaxed from the moment you walk in, a great space to just sit and vibe for half an hour or so.
