Lucia's in South Lakeland

My wife and I are regular visitors to Grasmere and make a point of visiting Lucia's every time. If you're not familiar with their set up, they have a tiny takeaway shop on the village green and a larger shop around the corner where they have a few stools in the window where you can have a coffee and cake while watching the world go by. Their coffee is probably the best in Grasmere and their bacon and egg foccacias are to die for. Oh, and the cakes aren't bad either 😋. Take your own cup and you get 20p off your drink 👍🏽.

The cutest cafe with the most gorgeous cakes and bakes. I took a few cakes home with me because I couldn't choose - i wish I could have taken more if I had known how lovely the food food was! In a stunning village with beautiful things to see around it too.

We stopped here for a take away picnic and have done so many times before. The chilli jam sausage rolls are outstanding and the pastries are wonderful. Highly recommend. Lovely, friendly service.

Quick stop off whilst visiting Grasmere. Chose here, based on other trip advisor reviews (there are lots of tea shops to choose from here). Different selection of cakes to the norm - we sampled the coconut and chocolate chip sponge/peanut butter and jam blondie and a cinnamon bun. Good selection of hot and cold drinks, and all reasonably priced. Focaccia bread also looked amazing!

Absolutely delicious focaccia bread sandwiches and sausage rolls which we took for our lunch out fell walking. Really nice people and excellent service.

Fantastic coffee and delicious sausage rolls. Super friendly service and great value. Recommend and will definitely return. Thank you.

I thought this was going to be an ordinary pie shop.. Turns out the the baker behind the scenes is a genius. Who knew focaccia could be that good?!

Epic takeaway sandwiches which were enjoyed on our long walk. Lovely cookies too! Will definitely come back next time we’re up!

What a fabulous little cafe/ bake house. Wonderful food and great choices. Bread, salads, soup, cakes and baked good freshly made everyday. The bread is that good, they supply the local Michelin Star restaurant! Staff excellent and so friendly. Coffee the best we have tasted in the Lakes. Very reasonably priced for such quality food and drinks Definitely recommend a visit but be quick as they sell out

Beautiful sausage rolls and sweet treats. Lovely coffee as well, and always a happy face serving you! Will be back on our next visit as Grasmere is our favourite Lakes destination.

Tried several sausage rolls, sandwiches and the cinnamon buns. All were very high quality, tasted great and were very competitively priced compared to other places in Grasmere. We’ve been coming to Grasmere every year for the past few years and every time we do, a visit to Lucia’s always features prominently as part of the visit.

amazing pasty's and sausage rolls. great service from Lucia and her staff. as always love coming here. 11 out of ten thanks once again . i heard someone say they sold cold pasty's and stuff. not a chance the food is always hot and lovely. cheers .

Such a lovely little bakery. Didn’t dine in as tiny and very few seats but got takeaway sandwiches and sausage roll which were absolutely delicious! There were lots of other delicious- looking salads and bakes!

my partner and I come up to the lakes as much as possible and love to try these small independent cafes and we weren't disappointed with Lucia's! everything looked delicious! Elliot (I think that was his name) was great at going through their wide range of pastries, cakes and sausage rolls,ansering all our questions he also made us the best coffee (Redbank) we have tried in a long time! we ended up having a focaccia sandwich (B.L.A.T) chilli jam sausage rolls and a ginger crunch traybake witch was all homemade by their baker and it was amazing! we stayed in Grasmere for the whole week and visited Lucia's daily, this is now our favourite spot to eat. we will be back again soon!

Stopped for lunch, what a fantastic choice. My partner has various intolerances so had an awkward order but it wasn't too much trouble for them at all to adapt an item on the menu. Great coffee too. Good price for the touristy area! If we were local we would return :)

had not been to this little gem for a year or two as i was out of Grasmere. now im back and went in today to get to sausage rolls. i was meet by the lovely Lucia . and my oh my the sausage rolls were just as good as they have always been . as i was off to work i was going to keep them for lunch the first one never made it to work the 2nd well made it to 3 pm . they were the best .thanks again i will be buying more

My husband and I visited whilst we were in Grasmere and we had the most delicious ice creams! I asked if there was a vegan ice cream and I was told there was a passion fruit one and I had that in a tub. Well, it was the most delicious ice cream I have ever tasted, full of flavour and you would never know it was vegan! My husband had a strawberry ice cream in a very tasty biscuit type cone which he said was also delicious. I only wish the manufacturer of the ice creams (Kimi's) had a shop near where I live as it only seems to be in the Lake district.

Sausage roll was the best I've ever had - pastry was incredible and the filling (with chilli jam) was mouth watering!

It was ok. Not sure what the big fuss is. The sausage rolls were nice and warm to take to the playground to eat but the cheese pie was fridge cold. We hadn’t realised this until we got to the park. I can’t understand why the lady serving didn’t check with us that this was this ok? My son definitely would have changed his order to a warm sausage roll. For us this has to be poor service but ok food hence the 3 stars. Being generous because I’m still a bit upset about the fridge cold pie. Surely a takeway bakery would point out a cold item? When it’s plainly obvious we are a family ordering to eat on the go? I just don’t understand that at all.

As someone with a nut allergy, the man running the window was extremely helpful, offering to call the baker to find out the allergens so he could be sure for me. I got to enjoy a delicious Raspberry and white chocolate blondie I would normally have avoided rather than ask

After a very wet walk, you need a good coffee and really nice food. Lucia’s has this plus a warm welcome, friendly service and delicious cakes.

We regularly visit Lucia’s to get t/a coffees and a sourdough loaf, this weekend we bought mince pies too and they were the best ‘bought’ mince pies I’ve ever had.

Just returned from a week in Grasmere and have to say that the coffee and cinnamon rolls were some of the highlights of my week! Packed up and left for home this morning and made sure I picked up a thoroughly delicious coffee oh and more cinnamon rolls for the journey home! I also bought sourdough midweek which was also well baked. Friendly and quirky too - you deserve all your success

We came upon this small cafe and takeaway by chance on a stroll around Grasmere. We were only looking for a coffee and a snack but were really taken with the homemade sausage roll with chilli jelly - tasty and moist - followed by a non-stodgy cinnamon bun. There is very limited seating inside and out but we really enjoyed stopping by; the staff were welcoming and it was good to see the produce being freshly made on the premises.

We were fed up with pretty rubbish packed lunches from our hotel whenever we were going on a long walk so we thought we'd try this place. It was a great idea, the sandwiches are really fresh and tasty, and the pastries are really good, we had cinnamon buns after a guy in the queue said he'd driven a long way specially for them and we weren't disappointed.

Best sandwiches, so delicious, I had the Reuben and enjoyed it in the sun on the green with my son. Exceptional, I even heard the 2 ladies that were in the queue behind me enjoying theirs on the bench, I over heard them say "this is the best sandwich I've ever eaten, the bread is amazing" . I couldn't agree more!

The best bakery I have ever been to! I ordered a range of food: Sourdough loaf - gorgeous!! Millionaires shortbread - BEST EVER AND HUGE!!! Pan au chocolat - very tasty and fresh Chai tea latte - Smooth and tasty Cheese and onion pasty - OMG, INCREDIBLE!! If I’d known how nice these were before tasting, I’d have ordered a load to take home!! I’ll definitely be back, I’m dreaming about it already!! It did the trick to set us up for the day.

Amazing find, friendly staff, food was superb. So pleased we called in, a wonderful find on a cold February afternoon. All food made on the premises.

Wonderful visit. Staff extremely friendly, even offering to share a recipe with us for one of the salad dishes and gave us a complimentary Christmas bun upon leaving. The ginger crunch was delicious. We will be back! ❤️👍🏼🙏🏼👏🏼

We had been here previously and stopped again for a cake from the serving hatch. Opting for the raspberry blondie and flapjack to eat on the bus journey back, we were not disappointed! The blondie was nice and fruity but the winner was the flapjack:...

Highly recommend this little gem of a coffee shop/takeaway kiosk. The saussage rolls and cinnamon buns from Lucia's are absolutely delicious! The coffee was rather tasty too. There was a queue at times at the kiosk window, but I would say totally worth the wait!...

Lovely little coffee shop, friendly service! Food was delicious - i had Cheese and Onion Pasty which was delicious. I also has a sweet potato and black bean roll which was equally delicious. All freshly made! Coffee was much needed amd went down well!

Very nice coffee here. Didn't eat but the food smelt fantastic. Got a loaf of sourdough bread though and can't stop eating it, delicious. Lovely friendly staff.

The most amazing Sausage rolls! My son had the usual traditional kind and I went for the sausage roll with the whole grain mustard which was beautiful.

The ginger slice is exceptional, the sausage rolls are amazing! Unfortunately the Sourdough requires improvement. The sourdough was shiny and rubbery inside (possibly not fermented for long enough). I will definitely be back but not for bread!

Called in after being very jealous of a friends pie two years ago, didn't disappoint. One chilli jam sausage roll and a cinnamon bun from the take away window later, we were delighted mid walk! Would absolutely call by again.

Picked up a couple of sausage rolls from Lucias as well as two filter coffees. Sat in the sun on the bench.

Visited the take away hatch on the hope of finding something vegan and were not dissapointed! Delicious vegan sweet potato pastries! Friendly staff and felt very safe, highly recommended!

We always stop off in Grasmere just to visit Lucia’s. I love the custard tarts, cannot resist them. Hubby had a sausage roll with chilli jam and said it simply was the best sausage roll he’d ever had. The filled rolls are a treat for...

Open only as takeaway at the moment, Lucia's is a perfect place to pop by when visiting Grasmere. We stayed for one night and stopped for takeaway teas, cold drinks and cakes. I had the berry blondie brownie which was p h e n o...

Amazing sausage rolls, we had to come back for more a few days later. Friendly cheerful staff. The ginger crunch's are amazing too though maybe I should keep that down low so they don't sell out.

Fantastic sandwiches, pastries and cakes. The sausage rolls with honey mustard and custard tarts are a particular highlight. A perfect place to pick up freshly made provisions for a day’s walking

Today I had the sweet potato, pistachio and spices sausage roll which was amazing, and my sons had a pasty which was also delicious, highly recommend

The best sausage roll i've ever had, and the lady who served us was so friendly, she was very smily and bubbly.

We visited first week after lockdown finished and the cafe was just doing takeaway service. Lovely coffee and the selection of freshly baked food to takeaway was good - the sausage rolls and pastries are amazing. Quick and friendly service throughout.

Enjoyed the two different sandwiches on offer, across two consecutive days, when visiting Grasmere recently for work. Staff were lovely and friendly, sandwiches were delicious and the prices were reasonable. I shall return!

Stopped off at Grasmere on a miserably wet March Tuesday and expected to find the usual touristy 'coffee' shop somewhere in Grasmere but were delighted to find superb coffee, sausage rolls and cakes at Lucia's. A properly made flat white and latte were immaculately presented. The coffee shop and bakery is stylishly presented and it was fabulous to find coffee and food of this quality.Would recommend fully to anyone looking for really good quality coffee!

We stayed in a hotel with full board but visited Lucia's on our way home to stock up for tea and our freezer. It was mainly sourdough for sandwiches or sausage rolls and pasties with a few sweet treats.

Lovely folk, terrific coffee and the best cinnamon buns I have had in my life. Great place to have breakfast before starting out on the hills and if you bring your own cup you save 25 pence.

Lovely breakfast when we went recently. Very tasty! The homemade beans, tomato sauce and sour dough bread is a great touch

Lovely bakery with excellent coffee and brownies. Good mix of bread, savory and cakes on display. Took a loaf of sourdough bread home which was very nice too

Called in for bite of lunch on a winter's day. There's nothing quite like freshly baked sausage rolls and scones, especially when accompanied by a very nice cup of coffee.

Sausage rolls are strongly recommended, as are the pain au chocolats. Coffee is also excellent. Strongly recommended

This is a fantastic place for lunch and also for take aways. We pre-ordered sausage rolls and cakes for a party over Christmas. All terrific.

Fantastic bacon and lentil soup with warm sourdough bread,served with a smile! great value for homemade food.

Hemos estado en Lucia's Bakehouse antes y agarramos sus deliciosos pasteles y sándwiches, pero fue nuestra primera visita a su cafetería el fin de semana. ¡Qué pequeño gran lugar! Mi esposo y yo tuvimos los frijoles caseros horneados con masa madre, ¡estaban deliciosos! El café fue lo mejor que tuvimos durante todo el fin de semana en los lagos y nos llevamos algunos dulces y pasteles para nuestra larga caminata al día siguiente, que estaban deliciosos, ¡definitivamente volveremos!

Currently at Lucias where we waited a ridiculous amount of time to be served despite the amount of staff behind the bar. We were instructed to move to the other side in order to be served, they then began serving at the end of the bar where we were stood prior. As I’m sure you’re aware, this is annoying in itself. Not only this, after waiting 20 minutes or more to be served, I was then individually pulled to the bar for to be told about my attitude to the service. I’m obviously going to be frustrated about this situation and find this very very unprofessional. Had I admit been with my friends I would’ve found this very intimidating.

Just popped into the smaller building just around the corner for a take away latte and cinnamon bun. Lovely

Stopped off here whilst out walking last weekend, what a find!

During our week in Grasmere we regularly bought excellent coffee and croissants and pains au chocolat for breakfast at Lucia's - freshly baked and delicious. The bars to take away with chocolate and other delicious ingredients are highly calorific and perfect for long hikes on the fells. A great place.

What a mistake we made coming here! What was meant to be an hour stop turned into most of our day.

The best smashed avo in Grasmere - or maybe the Lakes! Super cute place. Apparentlynot been open very long (6 weeks or so) but the chef is fab and we came for two breakfasts on the trot as it was so good. And we were in our own rented house. Lovely cappuccino too. Make sure you visit.

Lucia’s is an incredible find in Grasmere, we came back 3 times in the space of a day to top up on coffees and pastry’s as we strolled around the village. I absolutely love the variety and choice of sausage rolls, and the cinnamon bun was probably the best I’ve ever had. Incredibly well priced for a small local bakery, and super nice service. Next time I am in the UK I will definitely make the effort to come back!

Hicimos una visita rápida por una taza de café decente. Sin embargo, pasé demasiado tiempo tratando de decidir comer algo, ya que todo lo que se mostraba en el mostrador parecía absolutamente fabuloso. Sin embargo, nos decidimos por un bollo de queso y mostaza que se servía con pequeñas ollas de mantequilla, chutney y queso rallado. El café y el bollo eran muy, muy buenos y nos fuimos decepcionados de que no pudiéramos probar más.

If you can....stop in on your way out of town from some fresh baked sourdough bread. We were stepping off from another day on the C2C and spotted this bakery; so grateful that they were open. Best bread we had had to date. It did not make it to Patterdale.

The best sausage rolls, wonderful rolls for a long day walking, tasty cakes and pastries (try the natas and raspberry blondies)! This is one of my favourite places ever!

First visit to their new premises, pastries lovely as usual, followed by enormous scones, very tasty indeed. Yes as previous poster stated they do not have a large range, however what they do bake and sell is top quality. This is a small independent bakehouse, not greggs!! Of course we will be returning as usual.

It looked good from the outside, however though it was lunchtime they didn’t do sandwiches and sent us around the corner to the take away but they had run out of sandwiches. We had a pasty and a sausage roll which were quite tasty but that was all they had in savouries.

Popped into this cute little place for a quick sandwich. It was so good, we are going back to buy more for our walk tomorrow. Fresh and delicious and so reasonably priced compared to many places in the lake district. Great!

We were in Grasmere for a day trip and came across Lucia's opposite the village green. Went in to buy a beetroot, feta and walnut cold pastry roll and a warm sausage roll. The sausage roll was the best sausage roll ever!

Just been to lucias new cafe in grasmere and as always the food and seriveare to die for .a limited seating but it is mainly a takeway .great stuff good luck to them .catch you soon

We stayed in Grasmere for a week to go walking. Found this place on the first day, bought a couple of sandwiches and went back every day for the rest of the week - but couldn’t resist buying 2 each. Difficult too try to explain how good a cheese & ham sandwich is but give it a try and you’ll find yourself going back!

Tiny little shop but their food is excellent. Always lots of people around at lunchtime. For us it was perfect to get fresh, still warm croissants for breakfast. We were staying just round the corner.

Después de una larga caminata nos alegramos mucho de encontrar este pequeño lugar del que era fácil y rápido obtener algo de comida. Ambos tuvimos un rollo de salchicha y no puedo recomendarlo lo suficiente, ¡estaban tan deliciosos!

Compramos comida de aquí para llevar con nosotros en nuestros paseos. Estaba recién hecho y podías oler los pasteles mientras caminabas por la calle. Siempre había una cola fuera de la pequeña panadería, ¡pero valía la pena hacer cola! Sándwiches, rollos de salchicha, empanadas, etc. todo delicioso. Sin duda lo recomendaría

Acabo de darme un capricho de sandwhich y chorizo de lucias en grasmere.

This time I had a flapjack which was amazingly good - packed full of seeds and with a thick drizzle of chocolate on top. Also a coffee which was my ideal of what a coffee should be - very strong but with lots of milk as well. It had a name (which I've promptly forgotten!) and gave me the boost I later needed for some walking!

Visité hoy, después de caminar buscando un sándwich y un café. La mayoría de los otros cafés, etc., eran precios exorbitantes. Los precios y la calidad de los rollos y el café eran excelentes, no puedo decir lo suficiente sobre este gran punto de venta. Gracias, la ventaja fue que también fue muy cálido y soleado y nos sentamos en el frente verde.

If you are looking for freshly made sausage rolls or pastries with a coffee to go, then try Lucia’s when in Grasmere. Cash only here so be sure to get to a cash machine before you arrive in Grasmere. The coffee was good but not as strong as I would normally like it. The sausage rolls were great .

ive just had the best sausage rool ill ever taste.. just out of the oven and cooked to profection .if you are just after a takeaway this is the place .nice coffe pastries and a service with a smile .just on the end of the sam reaid bookshop in the middle of grasmere

Every time we visit Grasmere, a visit to

Visited here today I had a sausage roll and a mince pie.

Came here & ordered 2 sandwiches, a sausage roll & a tiffin - all which were delicious & definitely filled a hole.

Bought sandwiches here on several days last week. Really good bread and fillings and really enjoyed them also do a mean sausage roll.

Really tasty pastries, a good variety with a choice of veggie options. Had a lovely picnic! Friendly staff serving fresh food and lovely warm drinks.

Fantástica comida en Lucia's, todo se ve bien y está recién hecho. Los rollos rellenos son deliciosos, una deliciosa ensalada con lo que hayas elegido.

Lucia's is an unexpected treat and sadly word's got out! This hole in the wall takeaway sells sandwiches, sausage rolls, pasties and pastries - all fresh and when they've gone - they've gone! So - take a Trip Tip - go early.

Convenient little shop baking throughout the day, so everything is fresh - try the Portuguese custard tarts!

Lucía puede ser una pequeña comida para llevar, pero tiene un gran impacto. Es el mejor lugar para ir en Grasmere para disfrutar de deliciosos dulces caseros, café y sándwiches. Sus abundantes rollos de salchicha son bien conocidos en la zona, pero también ofrecen una impresionante selección de otras golosinas recién hechas para tentarlo.

Wonderful sausage rolls. A reward for a long walk. A great place and lovely friendly staff. We will return on our next visit tp the lakes👍

Tiny little bakery offering pastries, cakes and rolls. Bought a ham “salad” roll for £2.80. Salad consisted of one piece of iceberg lettuce, one very small slice of tomato (end of a tomato) and two thin slices of cucumber. Definitely not what I’d call salad! The ham looked good quality but sandwich still very overpriced.

Poor value for money. We bought 2 cappuccinos and 2 sausage rolls. The coffees were in extremely small takeaway cups. All froth and no taste for the same price as a usual sized coffee. The sausage rolls were no different from others we have eaten so we can't understand the recent reviews that have appeared.

Not surprised that at busy times there is a queue here. The sausage roll was definitely the best I've ever tasted - piping hot from being freshly cooked, with what seemed like filo type pastry and a layer of sauteed onions beneath the tasty sausagemeat. The tiffin cake was also delicious and obviously fresh - I'm guessing with food this good nothing much is ever left over. I would absolutely recommend this place.

Such lovely crew and great baking too. The coffee is out of this world for a tiny bakery. Sausage rolls divine

We were staying a few doors away from Lucia's recently. It is a tiny little place for takeaway coffees & pastries, which are made fresh everyday on the premises in front of you. I can highly recommend the flat white coffee & Portuguese custards which were delicious.

How do they do it. This place is super tiny. The food is bakery takeaway. After tasting the sausage roll we bought sandwiches. Both were simply delicious. The sausage roll was simply the best I had ever had.

Was put stopping in Grasmere before walking back to Ambleside. Had a tuna mayo roll, they were fairly generous with the filling and the salad was fresh and crispy. The brioche roll was good too and baked at Lucia's. We then came back 15 minutes later (they ran out of them) for Cumberland sausage rolls and they were very yummy. Would come back if we were ever in Grasmere and fancy a quick easy bite.

Good coffee good snacks from this tiny shop. Don't expect anywhere to sit. It is opposite a grassed area with some benches so you take your chances with all and sundry. We ended up taking our coffee/hot chocolate and pasties to the children's play area to get a seat.

Popped in after reading other reviews & so glad we did. We got off the bus & decided to get something before we walked around Grasmere. We had C/O pasty & sausage roll. Not hot but delicious. Pastry was melt in the mouth. I don’t like C/O pasties but shared with family. Yummy. They have cushions outside that you can borrow, whilst sitting on benches or grass opposite. Very reasonable prices, don’t rip you off like other bakeries. Will definitely visit again. Maybe tiny & only takeaway but don’t let that put you off.

The bakery is a teeny hole in the wall set up. We got a Cumberland sausage roll and Portuguese custard tart each, the sausage rolls were really yummy and the tarts just awesome!!!
