Mr Duffins Coffee in South Lakeland

Best latte I’ve ever tasted simple as that. It was a rainy cold day, and we were welcomed in with the dog in tow to a lovely warm cafe. Coffee as it should be, delicious.

A very welcome break on a walk, we were wowed with the stand out coffee and fresh and filling sandwiches which were hearty enough to not need cake also but we were walking a long way so we had the cake anyway and it was glorious. Friendly service and a truly satisfying café stop. It made a great day even better!

Excellent coffee, loved the latte art! Also fabulous sandwiches and cakes, we can highly recommend the fruit cake and ginger cake! Team are lovely, cafe very homely and welcoming. Can’t wait to go back to try the ice cream!

We ordered a cappuccino and a latte and shared a biscotti and sat in. Coffee was absolutely delicious and service very friendly. They roast it on the premises and the assistant explained how the machine worked to my husband. It was so good that I bought two bags of freshly ground coffee to take home.

Best espresso I’ve had in a long while. Absolutely delicious. Great range of coffee for sale either ground or beans. Nice range of coffee accessories too.

Delicious humus and roasted veg ciabatta rolls, came back for more! Cakes were also excellent and great selection of coffees

Fabulous coffee and friendly staff. Well worth a visit if you enjoy quality coffee. I believe you can find Steve’s coffee in many local cafes and restaurants

Delicious - made to order sandwich and an excellent coffee, just what we needed after a long arduous journey! Nothing was too much trouble for the host.

We really value having this artisan coffee shop in Staveley, they take pride over their coffee from bean to drink, are very eco-aware and friendly, and sell yummy icecream, cakes and energy balls, fresh juice and home-made soup. In reply to the bitter woman Julie C who wrote a horrid review last week, I am the woman she calls a 'friend', and Mr&Mrs Duffin were in no way rude and have no problems with social distancing. Julie C had accidently jumped the queue, and when told very politely to give me and my family space to choose ice-creams she got upset and stormed out. She had obviously had a bad day, but that's really no reason to write a nasty review. Please ignore her incorrect listing and come enjoy a coffee at Mr Duffins!

The BEST coffee in Staveley!! I would recommend their coffee to everyone I know, there is no better service in the village and surrounding area's. My go to for coffee always, with out a doubt.

Very rude lady serving. No clear markings for queuing with covid then spoken to unpleasantly for being too close to another customer (friend and our kids in the same bubble). Would not recommend. They should have a clear queuing system like every other establishment in Staveley or stay closed.

Found this fabulous place whilst staying on the Windermere Camping and Caravan club site, on a walk from the site to Staveley. The best espresso I have had in a long while. If you know and enjoy good coffee I promise you will not be disappointed. If you have only ever experienced coffee from one of the many chains in the UK, here is a place to start your real coffee journey. My daughter also thought her Mocha was fab, and my son loved his latte. (All wend down a treat accompanied by great flapjack.) You can also buy beans of many a variety freshly roasted on site, which I have done and look forward to enjoying and ordering more on line. If ice-cream is your thing rather than coffee, then you should call here too. Finally I have to say how lovely and friendly the owners are, happy to have a chat and complete a great all round experience.

Had takeaway coffees and English Lakes ice cream from here. Both were excellent and we could,sit outside in the Mill yard to enjoy them in the sun. Lovely.

The best black americano I have had in a long time. Had to buy a packet of the ground coffee which is unfortunately about to run out. Will return to stock up.

As small producer with outstanding artisan coffee! You must give this place a try if you are fed up with coffee chains. He roasts his own from a variety of producers sourced from around the world. Very knowledgable and great service. Does online orders as well so we will be buying our coffee on line from him in the future

Good freshly roasted and ground coffee, served with friendly aplomb. Good selection of roasted beans to take away from all the great coffee regions, ground before you leave to choice. Second visit and will go again.

Nine of us arrived in sopping wet walking gear, but were warmly welcomed and enjoyed great coffee and chocolate brownies to die for! Thanks

Visit this coffee shop regularly and it serves the best coffee for miles. Experts in what they do reflects in the quality of the drink you get. Highly recommend

Everything you want in a coffee place. Excellent quality in evidence in every respect. They were lovely to us and especially the children. Highly recommend!!!!!!!

I have never been here before and dropped in after a walk. I had a skinny latte and was given a choice of bean (I went for the Peruvian) and it was a gorgeous coffee. Just fantastic. I also had a slice of toasted tea loaf with butter which was also very yummy. A lot of choice of different flapjacks and traybakes, but no cakes which would have been nice. The girl who served me was very smiley, friendly and polite.I also loved that they have the coffee roasting machine behind the counter. It puts out a delicious smell and the coffee shop version of white noise. The sound of beans turning is actually quite relaxing, and you can see them turn from green to brown through a little window.They sell the beans they roast in house and say they source from reputable, ethical sources. Definitely pay Mr Duffins Coffee a visit.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Visited on a Friday afternoon, no one else in but took ages to serve the coffees. Nothing complicated only a flat white and a Latte but took far too long; won't be returning, certainly not service with a smile. Not great for Staveley.

We visited this place for coffee soon after our arrival in Staveley. It was great to find a place that roasts its own (ethically sourced) coffee beans - and they serve a pretty good flat white too.Slightly austere atmosphere perhaps - but the coffee is key.

Visitamos al Sr. Duffins después de un paseo por el río Kent. Los perros son bienvenidos, me paré en el mostrador durante lo que parecía una edad antes de que el personal me reconociera, aunque era la única persona que esperaba. Pedí dos cafés y un Flapjack. El primer café llegó después de unos 5 minutos, luego el Flapjack y tardaron unos 10 minutos más en llegar el segundo café.

Popped in to get a couple of coffees while exploring the high street and felt unwelcome before we'd even made it to the counter. Don't mind the lack of music, but is was so quiet (2 staff and at least 1 other customer) it was like walking into a morgue. Even if this had been the best coffee I'd ever had the surly nature of the service means we wont be going back. I feel this may be the very archetype of "a local shop for local people".

This was our first stop on arrival at the Lakes. First impression was disappointing. There was a good choice of beverages and the flapjack was great, but both the cafe and staff were lacking in warmth.

Coffee tasted lovely. Great selection of cakes. Service was a tad slow but then again you can't rush perfection.

I pop into Mr Duffins regularly as it is the best coffee around and I’m lucky to live just across the road ☺️ Steve (Mr Duffin) & family are always happy to chat and they are extremely passionate & knowledgable about coffee, as well as the Lake District im general. A definite must-visit when in Staveley.

We stayed in staveley for a few days and found this lovely coffee shop.

We enjoyed today the perfect coffee. I had a Peruvian blend cappicinco and my husband an expresso of the same blend. It was far and away the best coffee in the Lake District. Friendly, informative service and we look forward to going back

Had a beautiful expresso here made from columbian coffee beans and really really enjoyed it.

Best coffee, freshly ground. You can even watch the roasting as you appreciate the blend and freshness. Welcoming and comfortable. A connosiuers delight.

If you get a chance then please visit this lovely coffee shop.

Stopped here to get out of the rain! Lovely coffee. Also sells lots of coffee merchandise and yummy-looking cakes.

perfect coffee its a sweet little cafe with no frills, no pomp just the best coffee in town. Made even better if you happen to be there during roasting time.

Completely unexpected but came across this coffee shop while doing the Dales Way. Coffee is freshly roasted and has that deep flavour and aroma of great coffee. Worth going out of your way for! Coffee this good is hard to find.

I visit at least one per week. The owners are knowledgeable and helpful. The coffee is not over-roasted and its flavour excellent. The froth on the capuccino is worth eating, yes eating, separately.

Their Tunki coffee, roasted on the premises, makes the best flat white I have ever had. A local treasure.

Pleased to visit and see coffee actually being roasted on site.- good sign that the owners know what they were doing. Had the Peruvian which was very good.

Popped in after familiarising ourselves with Staveley, I was really pleased that non dairy milk (oat milk) was on offer as well as regular milk. Great flat white. Ended up buying some coffee for our holiday cottage stay which was delicious. Nice chap behind the counter (Mr Duffin I presume?!)

Well worth a visit to sample wonderful coffee..... my personal favourite was the tonki bean, I only wish this independent coffee shop was closer to home.

What a gem of a place ! Gorgeous coffee roasted on the premises and available to buy to take away. If your visiting Staveley and love coffee this is a must 😊

We were out for a walk pushing our our Grandaughter and walking the dog. Great hot drinks and cake with good service dog and pram welcome. Will call again when we are next in the area

Passing through visiting a friend. Staff were friendly and helpful. The white hot chocolate was delicious definately recommend it. It was nice and cosy and comfortable place to sit and relax. Will definately visit again if in the area

This is a great coffee place and really nicely decorated. Seems to be for quite serious coffee connoisseurs. Great little find while travelling though Staveley

Seriously delicious Coffee with differing blends roasted on site. Very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere hosted by the very knowledgeable Mr Duffin and family. Truly good coffee hit every time. Top Spot.

Impressive range artisan bread,pies and interesting cakes and pastries.almond meringues were of generous proportions were displayed looking very tempting. Damson tarts topped with hazelnuts and tempting descriptions made it difficult to choose so I bought a range of products which turned out to be as tasty as they looked. Good quality coffee was available and it was possible to eat and drink in the shop

Fell in love with the place. No savoury food but great sweet cakes etc and helped with local attraction ideas. Thanks

Great coffee in a relaxed atmosphere,served by people who know there coffee and are informative and passionate about there craft. A big thankyou to Abbie who looked after 9 of us so well last weekend. A must for coffee lovers,great hot chocolate to.We will be back.

In there on a rainy saturday morning for coffee and reading the paper. It really does have great coffee and does a very good green tea too (unlike the chains) the tea also came with a pot of extra hot water. It also sells cakes and bars of quality and exotic chocolate (my main addiction). We live just a couple of miles from it now, so we can get the papers at the post office, good bread (at More) and a really good coffee at the Coffee Place, all in Staveley, which is great.

Stopped off after the A591 was slow. Great place for a coffee and little something. High quality coffee

Really great coffee and lovely service. It's small and feels like you're sitting in someone's front room....but quite quirky. Great find.

Tunki could just be my favourite coffee. I am no coffee snob, but even listening to others, there is a view that it really is darn good. Worth the trip just for that.

This is confusing at first glance as it seems to have two names, the other being Mr Duffin's Coffee. When you enter all is explained, it's also a coffee roasting business which explains the other oddity it serves coffee & cakes & that's about it - no other food other than chocolate to buy & take away. However don't let this put you off, there is a friendly welcome. comfortable seating and excellent coffee & home made cakes including tiffin which you don't often see these days.
