Jasper's Coffee House in Allerdale

Popped in for drinks and cake on a Friday afternoon. Very jolly and pleasant greeting from the staff. Four drinks and cakes came to just under £30, so about £7.50 per head. Plentiful selection of both drinks and cakes / scones to satisfy both sweet and savoury hunger. A very chilled and relaxed cafe, no urgency to rush us out the door once we'd finished. As the other reviews say, it is a very pet friendly place.

Went in for breakfast with my husband & dog after reading positive reviews. Sat down and ordered, Ted the dog was whining slightly but nothing excessive or loudly, we were tucked in a corner, out of the way. After 10 mins we were approached by a long haired man & asked if there was any way we could shut our dog up or we would have to leave. We promptly got up & left , without even a drink served, let alone food. After a while, pondering on what had been said, l returned to the cafe & reminded them it was supposed to be a dog friendly establishment & in 8 years of owning Ted , l had never been asked to leave anywhere! Also the long haired gentleman needs to be reminded he should wear a hair net as he is preparing food, not have it loosely tired back with strands of hair hanging out !

Wasn’t sure about the food, mine came with cheese straight from the pouch, wasn’t even melted a bit, I don’t know if it’s supposed to be that way. My son ordered the salmon on rice and it was good. The place is dog friendly and it is a plus. The one who took our order was lovely, but the other one was not, looks like she’s really tired and needed to get home. Will I go back here when in Keswick? Certainly not. For that price, I won’t go back.

A good full English and great coffee. Thank you!

Came here yesterday for breakfast, enjoyed it that much we came back today . I had the same as yesterday as it was so nice and my partner had the full English, definitely recommend and we will be back when we return to the lake district again

Very very nice. There are alot choices in the town tor cofee, breakfasts and cakes. However I'm glad we walked abit further to find this spot. Gluten free options both breakfast and cakes. The food was very nice. The coffee was great and the crunchy brownie was a winner. After having the brownie, then sip your coffee it really enhances the honey within the brownie. I wish I could try the whole menu Very friendly people

Nice coffee shop, but for some reason you can’t charge things up in there which I thought was very poor.

Only had a flat white coffee. Lovely friendly staff. Really nice cafe

Amazing food, service and music choice! The full English is the best in Keswick and very reasonable! We’ll 100% be back thank you!

Absolutely lovely cafe. I called in here (with my dog) for breakfast after a recommendation from a friend. I couldn't resist the full English, which was really good and accompanied by a perfect latte. My dog was happy too, eating one of the special dog biscuits. Service was friendly and efficient as well. Highly recommended.

Great little coffee shop that’s dog friendly with great food, coffee and Cake! And good prices.

Nice cozy place for breakfast. Highly recommend the breakfast sandwich. Friendly staff, great food and service.

Dog friendly cafe. Went a couple of times for chai latte which was perfect. Had breakfast on our last day. Food was absolutely delicious. Friendly staff and very helpful.

I had the full english breakfast and it was all cooked well and i loved the cumberland sausage. Staff were friendly and helpful. The coffee was also very nice.

My friend and I popped in here one Saturday lunchtime. The café is just around the corner from the main high street. We hadn't pre-booked, but we only waited a short time before a table was available. The staff were friendly and welcoming, providing a good service. The cafe was clean and tidy. It's obviously a very popular place to visit, as the cafe was constantly busy. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome. The breakfast menu finishes at noon before switching to lunchtime food. We had the hashbrowns with chorizo plus the mushrooms on toast. Both were delicious. Together with a couple of soft drinks, we each paid just over £12. There are also loos on the premises. A good place to visit.

Great food, reasonably priced with very friendly service.

Great as always, the loaded hash browns are amazing!

Over priced, slow limited menu.

Good cafe. Excellent breakfasts.

Fabulous food, especially the full breakfast! Lovely friendly and helpful staff! Highly recommend 😀👍

Every item on my big breakfast was delish. Eggs perfectly cooked. Mini Cumberland sausage, bacon, etc, etc were all scrummy and the rarebit went down a treat and of course they are dog friendly. Staff were quick to take order and friendly. Even the music in background was perfect

Straight 5 stars. We had a chocolate caramel cake which was absolutely delicious and then an excellent hot chocolate and a chai latte with oat milk with cinnamon to go. All 3 things were very tasty and the ladies in the shop were very friendly.

My wife & I had a terrific breakfast here. Highly recommended.

Lovely cafe with very tasty breakfast options and locally roasted coffee. Dog friendly

amazing food and friendly staff!!!

Delicious smoked salmon kedgeree, loaded hash browns and breakfast brownie 🏆🏆🏆

5 Stars! Worm and welcoming staff, great atmosphere and the food is amazing! Great choice of dishes, even for the fussy eaters. Great coffee. The cake selection is the best in town. We often get more as a takeaway for later as well. We return every time we are in Keswick!

Shocking piece of cleanliness. Called this morning for a coffee and Breakfast roll, ordered food and coffee got coffee and whilst awaiting food I observed the lad behind the counter, he washed out a dog bowl in the sink then dried his hands and the bowl with a tea Towel put the dog bowl away done his hands again then put the dirty tea towel on top of the clean cups above the coffee machine…. If this is front of house I wonder what happens where you can’t see? Obviously, at this point I cancelled my food telling the waitress why… Her response was “Oh Really “ I duly paid for my coffee and left…Certainly won’t be returning. I believe everyone frequenting eating houses in KESWICK and beyond should be vigilant and aware, as it is obvious the staff aren’t aware of health and hygiene. Next time you go anywhere to eat, ask the staff how often they wash hands and can you see the kitchen, and £8.00 for a breakfast bun plus £3.75 for coffee. The metrics ask me to recommend a dish on this occasion I cannot due to the hygiene issues that obviously need addressed

Delicious chorizo & hash brown dish!

Visited today on a whim and I'm so pleased I did! Staff were more than happy to make me a bacon sandwich, even though it was way past breakfast and not on the menu, which was delicious The lovely young man working was also very kind when I nearly walked out without paying as I was distracted by the adorable dog visitors... VERY embarrassing but he didn't make me feel awkward which I really appreciate. Can't recommend highly enough! 😊

What a wonderful welcome & delicious food from the team at Jasper's on 15th August. So friendly, professional & cheerful 😊 Loaded hash browns absolutely delicious. A happy holiday memory. All staff such a credit to the cafe. We'll be back!! Thank you 😊

Fantastic dog friendly cafe. Visited twice and enjoyed the food a good service both times. Highly recommend.

A to Must visit when in keswick

If you're going to be 'dog friendly' then you need to ensure you have the hygiene to match. Waitress brought the dog bowl in, put it on the sideboard of the kitchen, and didn't wash her hands. Terrible. Staff could have been friendlier. Food and coffee were decent, however.

Absolutely fantastic little cafe, the food, the service, everything was great.

We have just returned from breakfast and not only was the food outstanding, the customer service from the young man working was exceptional we were very impressed and will definitely be returning.

Absolutely lovely staff serving top notch food. Highly recommend 👌

We visited Jaspers today whilst on holiday with our friends. We had two full English Breakfast and two breakfast rolls. The food was absolutely fantastic, piping hot, just Lovely. As for the service . Wow! What a lovely young gentleman who served us today. A real credit to Jaspers. He was attentive, polite and efficient. We spoke about Taylor, he will know what I mean. Go along and try, you will not be disappointed. We will be back. Thanks again.

Cafe looked nice from the outside but inside it had solid partitions between the tables, maybe as it was dog friendly? It was empty so felt like no atmosphere. However the two members of staff made up for it...they were very friendly and we enjoyed our tea and really tasty chocolate brownie.

Popped in to Jaspers while staying in Keswick. Greeted when we walked In and were shown to our table. The decor is lovely with art work displayed on the walls and a display of photos of dogs who'd eaten there ! We both had full English breakfasts which arrived promptly and were delicious- not at all greasy and quality ingredients. It was so good we went back again the next morning!

The only cafe my dog will sit quietly in. Really good food and coffee

Without a doubt ,these were the worst 'meals' we have ever bought, anywhere.The chilli looked like dried up burgers.We ordered chips with it ,as there was no rice.We got the foul. Mc Donald type,frozen fries.Worst of all ,the meal was cold.At over £10 each,a real insult.We went elsewhere to eat.My advice.Ignore the flowery descriptions on the menu. AVOID! They need a proper cook.

Fantastic loaded hash browns. Very dog friendly.

Some good vegan options and decent coffee/service, however a 60p surcharge for non dairy milk is very steep (!) Had the vegan breakfast, which was good.

Lovely hidden gem. Super friendly staff. Fabulous selection of cakes coffees and other treats. Would definitely recommend and we’ll be visiting g in our next trip

Had Lite bite Jaspers today. Not impressed Hash brown, chorizo and rubber egg.I had Dry toast with Advocado, again poached egg!!, extra tiny piece of bacon, tea for two. Waited too long for order, and overpriced.for what we had. Rather disappointed.

Breakfast with friends. A small but mighty breakfast menu, but we all had the full English breakfast. Two eggs, Cumberland sausage, two slices of bacon, beans, mushrooms, tomato and toast. Really good quality food, the sausage was delicious. Paired this off with a flat white. Not the fastest of food service, but the cafe was full even though it had just opened for breakfast. Very dog friendly and had some great desserts on the menu (didn't have any) Not a place if you're in a hurry, but great to catch up with friends whilst waiting for great food.

food amazing and brilliant customer service

Dog friendly café, great selection of cakes. However, slightly pricey.

Absolutely stunning food brilliant service thanks, the staff today Grace & Jack very nice and professional friendly people. Would highly recommend going here.

This is our favourite coffee shop, the most friendly dog cafe there is. The coffee is amazing, the scones are huge and delicious and the staff very friendly and attentive. Definitely worth a visit!

Popped in for a light lunch and delighted by the quality of food and really well thought out menu. Something for everyone, highly recommend

Great dog friendly cafe! Breakfast was spot on and staff good with both us and our dog. Would definitely return for breakfast again on our next visit to Keswick

Food was fairly nice but the service lacks friendliness and warmth

Slowest service ever. 45 minute wait for an average fry up. 🤷‍♂️

Lovely spot for coffee and lunch, offer great vegan options and the food was delicious, nice atmosphere and the staff were very friendly will definitely be visiting again :)

Quiet when we went in. Full when we left. The food was lovely as was the coffee.

Excellent coffee, didn't eat so can't score food.

We arrived at around 9am and it was empty. Quick service and delicious drinks. Latte art made it even better! Breakfast was £11.00 and was great. Very happy. Decor was nice inside! Staff were friendly.

Popped in for a quick lunch today - the food was served quickly, politely and was delicious. I had the pulled ham and onion marmalade sandwich and it was a fantastic choice! Perfect ham, not too salty, lovely soft turtle bun, good quality veg crisps, and a small side salad. Also very dog friendly.

Good cafe off the main Keswick drag. Excellent brownies and blondies. Dog friendly.

Usually love this dog friendly place. Today however when popped to counter after our main course to see what cakes there were I was completely ignored by the waitress who was sorting out her tip jar. After a few minutes I told her I wouldn't bother. Simple courtesy would have resulted in her saying she would be with me in a mo which would have been fine. Not impressed.

Me and my girlfriend are currently travelling back down to Manchester today and decided to stop at Jaspers for some breakfast. We were placed in rather uncomfortable seating which we asked to be moved from as my girlfriend was on a booth and I was on a feeble chair which left me slouched, the waitress told us we couldn’t move in case large groups come in, which was said in a really blunt manner (literally no one else come in the whole time we was there). My girlfriend ordered the vegan breakfast but asked for the avocados (£3) & mushroom (£1.50) for a hash brown (£1.50) to which we was told they could not swap the items but would be able to charge us extra for hash browns, this literally makes no sense?? The waitresses attitude was awful and she had extremely poor customer service which made us both feel extremely uncomfortable. The food was really nice but would be expected with the price it’s at. There’s a sign in the cafe which says it thank you for supporting an independent business, well I’ve never been treated as poorly in any corporate establishment I’ve been to as I was here.

We went for breakfast and took our Frenchie called Buzz with us. Love that it's dog friendly. My husband had the full English and I had the loaded hash brown. Mine was absolutely delicious. Beautifully presented too. It does get very busy quickly but we were there about 0930 and there was lots of free tables. By the time we were leaving there was only maybe one or two free. Delicious food. Highly recommend.

Went in first thing on Sat morning, the food was delicious and there were lots of different options to choose from, I had a full English and it was lovely. Very dog friendly too.

Delicious food and lovely service. Thoughtfully set out for dogs too, with dividers and space between tables. Would highly recommend, definitely will be coming back.

Really nice full English breakfast

Excellent coffee presented by welcoming staff. Great atmosphere to relax with friends and family. Dog friendly, highly recommended.

Lovely little coffee shop, nice atmosphere and the drinks were lovely. Would recommend going here for a hot chocolate!

We opted for the full english breakfast which was first class & the loaded hashbrowns with chilli jam & chorizo 🤌 !! soo tasty.. Even the decor was interesting.. Quirky lighting installation & decor with reasonably priced art work of the local scenery.. In our opinion a well run & friendly establishment that stands out from the rest..

Lovely little coffee shop, friendly and helpful staff with milk alternatives for those who don't or can't have standard milk in their beverage. Dog friendly always a bonus and a nice brew with a delicious biscoff brownie to top it off. Definitely worth a visit.

Really lovely menu. The hashbrowns and egg was really, really good. Nice coffee and really good service. Dog friendly too.

Well made flat white and delicious avacado on toast.

The hash was amazing!! The soup (spiced butternut squash) was excellent as well, perfect for a chilly autumn afternoon :)

Full English Breakfast was very nice. Worth a try.

Great coffee! A bit on the expensive side, but the coffee was well made. We didn’t have food but the menu looked promising!

We planned a stop at Jaspers after reading the reviews. The coffee shop was a live with atmosphere, we where greated at the door and didnt have to wait long for a table. The staff make you feel as though you have walked in to their home. We had our two Cockapoos with us, to which they brought water straight over for them. The girls (our dogs) also had a choice of items on the menu little touches like this escalate your experience. Us humans had Coffee, Cake and the BLT it was delicious. Please dont walk past this little gem you will live to regret it.

Went here for breakfast as it opened nice and early. Really liked how locally sourced everything was and how all food and cakes were home made. We’re able to order vegan and dietary alternative food such as gluten free bread and oat milk. Nice atmosphere but it got a bit busy and the acoustics of the space need some dampening as it was too loud to hear each other.

Great independent cafe serving good quality and imaginative lunch. Cakes we didnt sample but looked great.

Came here on our last day before heading home. I had the smashed avocado and hubby had the full English breakfast both were really tasty and excellent quality, our flat white and latte were delicious also. The staff were really nice (special mention for the member of staff who while we were there was asked by a customer for smashed avocado on toast without the avocado and managed to keep a straight face 😂), such a lovely place. We will definitely be back next time we are lucky enough to visit Keswick again.

We visited Jaspers while staying in Keswick and really enjoyed our time there. We ordered breakfast and some drinks as well, the food arrived in orderly time and was well cooked and plentiful. The staff were very friendly and the cafe is a great place to take your Dog as well. I would highly recommend Jaspers for breakfast or just a brew and a bit of cake.

Update : still as good as ever.Very welcoming, lovely coffee, nice surroundings and dog friendly. Couldn't ask for more. Try to avoid the corporates until you are on the motorway and have no choice. This is Keswick. Go to Jasper's.

Cassie made the best cappuccino coffee ever. The ambience was light and friendly. Staff were all attentive and responsive — and the lunches were great.

Randomly saw this place driving through Keswick on a Sunday morning and needed bacon butties. Although a little pricey I thought initially I have to say, at 42 years of age that was the best bacon and egg I have ever experienced in my life lol so much so I had to write a review on it!! When I'm next in Keswick this is now my first port of call! Great work guys, much respect!!! Oh...my son is also called Jasper and the packaging is also super lovely!

I decided to visit Jaspers for breakfast before setting off home after a pleasant stay in Keswick. On arrival I was greeted by a pleasant member of staff and shown to a table. The breakfast menu seemed good with vegetarian choices which is always good but on requesting a change this was seen by the kitchen staff/management as a completely unreasonable request. I explained I didn’t like fried tomatoes and could they be changed for extra fried mushrooms. However, the staff were completely unwilling to accommodate this so consequently I received tomatoes even though I’d explained I didn’t like them. Excellent customer service, Jaspers. Very impressed. Obviously, this cafe doesn’t really care about customer service and relies on the constant changing customer base that the tourists of Keswick provide. A shame as I’m regularly in Keswick and as such I would have returned. But given the unwillingness to provide a meal that the customer would thoroughly enjoy by a simple item swap I won’t be returning.

Quirky, friendly amazing food. You have to try the loaded hash browns, they were phenomenal. First time been will definitely be back, so friendly and welcoming. Defo recommend.

We were looking for a good, dog friendly cafe for a cuppa or lunch as we travelled through Keswick recently. Based on reviews, we thought jaspers would be perfect. We were with our really well behaved springer, but the tables are very close to each other and the couple next to us were definitely not dog lovers. The staff didn’t seem particularly friendly and then my husband’s choice of Beluga fries was not available so he had just coffee and cake. My soup was really tasty but the portion was very small. I don’t think we’ll rush back.

With so many cafes to choose from in Keswick, we were draw to Jaspers by its authentic and curb appeal. The service was perfect and the lunch and drinks were delicious. Dog friendly too 🙌

Having rang first to book a table for 4 at 3.30pm and told by a young girl they don't take bookings and it's first come first served basis. Really looking forward to visiting Jasper's for an early dinner as the menu looked delicious. We arrived at 3.30pm and there were no vacant tables. We waited 5 minutes to get a seat and just as we were about to sit down a young man told us they stop serving at food at 3.30pm but we could have drinks and cake. Totally disappointed especially as we rang first and there was no reference to this and secondly we were in the cafe at 3.30pm and again no explanation at that point. You advertise your business hours 8.30 to 5pm . Jasper's you obviously don't need the custom therefore we won't be back. We went to the Square Orange where we had a fabulous meal and customer service was superior.

We popped in for a coffee late morning when a shower set on and the place was empty. The sign says 'wait to be seated' and we were led to a pokey table near the counter with no outlook and hemmed in by one of several temporary dividing walls left over from Covid days. These 'walls' between each table serve to block any view and makes each seating area unnecessarily claustrophobic. The whole interior needs a makeover and, whilst the coffee was nice, the service was indifferent and these combination of factors means we won't be back.

Not able to accommodate any changes to menu. Would not take an item off a plate or put it on to a separate plate. Complained about this and argued the point three times and the response was a bit like “computer says No”. Bizarre. Couldn’t give a monkeys about customer service. Could afford to loose trade then. Went to Merienda instead - great food & they couldn’t do enough for you.

Such a little gem of an independent cafe & so very welcoming to muddy paws 🐾🐾

VERY nice coffee, lovely vegan flapjack, nice vibe - Jaspers is an excellent coffee shop/cafe 😁👍🏻

Not great. Four of us and one child. One order was wrong. The mushrooms on my breakfast were not cooked and raw. My meal itself was lukewarm at best. They forgot the toast. They also forgot to put tea in my pot so it was just hot water. I live in Keswick and like to support local. Unfortunately I won’t be back. Nowhere near good enough.

Beautiful breakfast, nice cosy atmosphere, definately recommend it.

Excellent food great service I recommend the chicken burger

Dog friendly, fresh delicious food, great flat white !

Cosy little cafe near the town centre. Never tried the food but the brealfasts looked good.

Really good coffee and a good quality full English plus you can take a dog

Excellent coffee house, dog friendly. Caters for all needs oat milk capuchino is lovely. Very friendly and great service.
