Absolutely disgusting!!! Ordered two breakfasts and wanted one with no tomatoes the lovely lady taking our order looked terrified and scared to ask. When she did ask we heard the chief/owner we heard him say “for f*** sake why can’t t they stick to the menu?” At this point the lovely lady came out looking terrified and we got up and walked out. Definitely DO NOT recommend!!!

Called in yesterday 03/09/24 no greeting from the lady serving which is unusual for us Northerners. Miserable face and dont even think she said thank you after handing us the goodies. Even your head is in the wrong place best not to attend work

We love Kirkby Lonsdale but we struggle with the food places. The service here is just the worst. The staff can't have been trained. Once we got our coffee it was tepid and the buns rock hard. Once we fought through the chaos of paying we headed to the ice cream shop.

Of the many places to eat, on the surface this is the least showy, but we were so pleased we found it. Our poodle was greeted like a long lost friend, and we were staggered at the generous portions we were presented with. I had pea, ham and parsley soup (enough for two) and a bacon roll, filled with three thick cut rashers which were very tasty. Judith opted for the ham quiche which was enormous - full of meat and with the shortest shortcrust pastry. We’ll be back!

Everything looks amazing, but it’s definitely lacking something. These sandwiches are so filled but I wonder if they are so filled to make up for the lack of flavour. The beef is so dry and tough. Same with the cakes really. I was really excited for a monster carrot cake, but was so disappointed, it just tasted of nothing.. The service was also ridiculously slow, there seemed to be a lot of staff but only one person serving and everyone else was just stood around the coffee machine. Definitely a lot of room for improvement!

Couldn't face a Spar sandwich so decided to try the bakery takeaway 'service', the sandwiches were massive and crammed with quality filling. Our cakes were obviously yesterdays as well past their best. Crusty egg custard and concrete flapjack. The staff chaos is well worth experiencing.

On arrival today I arrived at the coffee shop and order a cappuccino with semi skinned milk. The coffee was horrible. Undrinkable. The coffee tasty very bitter and the milk was burned so undrinkable. I believe charging that much for coffee with a server that's not been barista trained is unacceptable. Please can you inquire this. Or maybe get them Narita trained. Thanks A.M

I went to this Cafe, Saturday 27th June. Just popped in as passing through Kirkby and thought looked a nice bakery to get something to eat for the journeyI ordered two bacon and sausage sandwiches, two teas and two sausage rolls. Not really thinking about been much over £10 I waited for the assistant to tot it up on the till. £17.45 please, WHAT? When I dragged myself off the floor and paid, I could not believe the price. Yes the sandwich was nice, tea is just tea and as for the sausage rolls, certainly not the best at all.Now I know we have gone through troubled times and all struggled, but, to make everybody else suffer by charging exorbitant prices..... I will not be going back.This is a popular town for tourists, and to charge foot fall these ridiculous prices is criminal, that’s the UK all over though.If you intend to go, make sure you have plenty of cash!!!

We dropped into Kirkby Lonsdale by chance on the way travelling home from the Lake District. A charming small market town, full of character with lots of indipendent shops. We dropped in here by chance, and had 2 nice coffees and a couple of truly scrumptious cakes, generous portions,very squidgy,a late morning treat,quite filling. The service was friendly, lots of regulars using it, and bought a spelt loaf for home, which was also excellent. Delighted with the food we both enjoyed, and the relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. A great place for a light bite, recommended

A nice attractive, rustic tearoom that provides meals too, with a lovely roaring fire to keep you warm.Full table service was provided which was made a pleasant change, and complimented our pot of tea and cream scones for two costing £10.70.Dogs allowed, so an extra star for that alone.I imagine that it would be heaving there in the summer but it was just ‘busy’ during our late Feb lunchtime visit.Paid parking nearby as well as some disabled bays that are available throughout the town.

We have been stopping here for years anytime we go up north as it is on the way to the lakes and Scotland for us. They do a fantastic wild boar and onion sandwich, but he hold the onions and just get a couple of eggs, and it is really nice. Top tip is if you are eating this in the car, take a plate and have napkins available as it is big so overflows the bread, and can cause spillage if you are not careful. The bread is really nice too...

Visited on a Monday around 1, it was busy but we got a seat. We’d looked in a few, of the many, restaurants, pubs and cafes in the village and decided p, not sure why, to go here and glad we did. I’ve had plenty of light lunches in numerous places and get abit fed up with the same choices, this seemed to have similar but different choices. In the end we opted for the soup and sandwich combo, there’s a choice of 2 soups. I opted for french onion (v rich) and the hot brisket ( meltingly tender) roll, husband had tomato and fennel soup (lovely) with the blt (freshly cooked bacon slices unlike many places ), portions were huge - if that was a small soup I’d hate to see the true portion. A big pot of tea to accompany. No issues with the service or staff and loo was clean too. We couldn’t manage a cake but bought a flapjack and a current slice to take home, total cost £25.40 which we thought was v good value. I’d go again, the pies also looked good

I researched places to have breakfast on our way to friends in the Lake District as breakfast out is our little treat to ourselves when we are on our way to visit them. We decided on a few places but started off earlier than we thought so most weren't open as we headed out on the road, we came to Kirkby Lonsdale at about the right time and I had researched three establishments to try, it just happened that this one was the first we saw of the three and it had parking right outside (that was probably due to the fact that it was before 9am so most places were not yet open! this place opens at 8am Mon-Sat and 8.30 Sun) I am so glad we chose this one, the food was outstanding, the staff member who served us (a young lad) was the most pleasant young fellow I've encountered in a shop for a long while, couldn't do enough for us and made sure we were well looked after (and a great salesman as he "upsold" us on some cakes to take away, expensive but lovely cakes and well worth it). Hubby had the full breakfast with an extra side of homemade hash browns (although he did say he would probably hold off on those extra next time as they needed to be a bit crispier). I had the scrambled eggs on homemade waffles with bacon, the waffles were a bit soggy but I think that was more the juice coming out of the scrambled eggs (which I didn't mind at all) and so much bacon, there was too much for me but hubby quite happily finished off mine after his own. The eggs were scrambled to perfection and so creamy (and I am really fussy about my eggs!).

The black pudding (with guiness and chilli) was delicious although when I said this to the lady at the counter she said the standard black pudding is even better. The sausages seemed good quality.. the whole "Full English" was great. My mate had scrambled eggs which he said were top notch too. Very happy.

We love calling here and dine in the outside cafe, but the weather was a bit poor and the cafe inside was full so we grabbed a few cakes and sausage rolls and headed to the car. The cakes were lovely and fresh but for £1.60 they were the worse sausage rolls I have ever had. The sausage was of very poor quality and the pastry was unbearably greedy, shame really. On many occasions we have dined inside and the menu and food is lovely and a good choice of hot and cold drinks there is a good choice of take away pies and cakes. The hard working staff were very pleasant worth a visit as I wouldn’t not recommend because of a bad sausage roll.

The bakery has lovely cakes and great coffee. However, the owner is too tight to provide tap water, even when you are buying food and drink. I asked for a tap water with my coffee and cake and the owner looked like she had an electric shock. She didn't bring any water and when we asked a waiter he sheepishly said "we only serve bottled water" Shameful, understandable to not provide tap water to non-paying customers but to begrudge someone who has paid over £10 in food and drink is poor service.

I had pate platter with lovely chutney, salad and delicious bread. Coffee and tea really good as well. We ended up here by default but next time it will be our first choice and whilst I appreciate staff may need a break, 2 of the places we tried did no food only drinks, they where quiet which isn't surprising but in hot tourist spot I thought the pubs, bars and bistros would be keen to make money.

On a blustery Monday lunch time this place was heaving. We had to queue for a table but they got us seated very quickly. The cakes and pastries in the shop looked incredible and are all baked locally. In the cafe we had soup and I had the beef brisket roll. The soup would have easily served 2 people it was massive. It was clearly homemade with no artifical thickeners of even cornflour. As for the roll there was easily enough meat for 2 people; well seasoned and extremely tasty. I was offered a choice of crisps or salad. Go for the salad, its an understatement; I got couscous, green lentils, beetroot, coleslaw, leaves amd tomatoes. All in all brisk and good service fantastic food and fantastic portion sizes. The coffees and teas were larges!

Visited whilst in Kirkby (where I used to live). I always remembered this place rather fondly however on this visit I was disappointed. The service was poor and it felt like the waitress had little time for us and she was rather abrupt. The food was ok but didn’t warrant the price (Kirkby Lonsdale prices?), £7 for a BLT. I remembered I quite liked the bread so bought 2 granary loaves but when I got them home they had the texture of cardboard and very little taste. I put one in the freezer where it will probably stay until I throw it away. Overall I was very disappoints.

Great atmosphere, friendly helpful staff, and superb food. We went for lunch and both had high quality tasty meals. Great choice of food, from main meals, light lunches, snacks..... Its an excellent place to stop off for a bite to eat or just a coffee and cake, and as its a bakery - you can even get something scrummy to take home with you. The village itself is a real gem, and well worth wandering around. Highly recommend.

Called in here at 8.30am after staying in the most horrendous b&b; 5 miles out of town so you can imagine our enjoyment when we came across this place. We were sat in the car in the rain, hungry with 2 kids and a dog trying to find somewhere open for breakfast as we were going to the waterfalls at 9.30am. We spotted a lady walking passed with a fresh loaf in a bag and then decided that she must have co.e from these premises, she did!! Hallelujah!! An amazing little cafe in the back, doggies welcome, PERFECT!! We went for the beans and wild boar sausages on toast, apologies for no pics, didn't touch the sides!! Washed down with a black coffee, the ladies that were working were lovely and very welcoming

Had a lovely late lunch here. It's dog friendly so you can sit in with them and sample all the goodies. Plenty of lovely looking cakes but didn't get chance to try those as I had the beef brisket roll which was yummy and very filling. My partner had the jacket potato. Both with salad which was lovely and different to the usual. All the staff were friendly and we would recommend to anyone. A really lovely tearoom and bakery.

Everything is really good here, but you simply have to try their range of Muffins! I thought the “apple crumble “ one was fab until I visited last week and had the raspberry and white chocolate filled with custard! AMAZING!

From the street it looks like a fairly ordinary bakery (albeit far better than a Greg's!) - but go in and there's a lovely roaring fire in the back room where you can sit down and be served. We had the Kirkby Lonsdale Rarebit and Soup and a sandwich (pictured) and both were de-lish! Very pleased we found/chose to eat here - wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I would sincerely urge people to disgregard any negative reviews of this café and bakery. My husband and I have eaten here several times - and despite it always being busy with a waiting queue, the food is exceptionally prompt and the staff were incredibly attentive, polite and welcoming. We were asked several times how our food was and the staff were sincere, polite and responsive. I cannot fault the service at all. The food is traditional, locally sourced and hearty - the portion size is generous and they offer a creative twist on classic dishes. The café itself is full of character with amazing oven fires and wonderful original features. I am a hotel manager myself and feel I am a credible reviewer - if you are in Kirkby Lonsdale this place is a great choice.

3 visits for breakfast in last 4 weeks. It's a huge meal and sets you up for the whole day! Consistently good, the restaurant is warm and welcoming, the staff friendly and attentive and the food excellent with very generous portions.

We can't praise the breakfast here enough, top quality with generous portions. The problem is the staff, the woman who took our order was kurt and very unfriendly, and when we went to pay , the lady had no idea how to smile, she got annoyed as she tried to get a signal with the switch machine.

Called in for lunch and as it was so busy we shared a table which wasn’t a problem. Portions are large. Been there several times on our visits to Kirkby and it never disappoints.

We have been in here a few times over the years and have been a bit disappointed. But I have to say we called in on New Years Day. We had a breakfast and a beans on toast. The staff in the restaurant were lovely. Very friendly and happy and cheerful considering it was New Years Day and they were very busy. Our food was delicious. We will be back to try it out again soon.

We stopped here on our recent trip to KL for coffee and cake. It was very busy and we got the only free table which unfortunately was not near the fire. The staff were very pleasant, the coffee was good and the toasted teacake a treat. We went back for lunch but there was a big queue so ate elsewhere.

I've been here a few times and the staff are always rude and inconsiderate. It isn't helped that everything is overpriced and on my latest visit overheard the staff charging £1 for two hot tap waters...won't be going again.

We ate lunch here on a cold winter's day a roaring open fire made it very cosy. The food was very tasty and a reasonable price.
