Promenade Cafe in South Lakeland

Good location, pleasant staff but expensive for poor quality coffee and stale cake. Was offered a refund on the cake which I declined.

What a difference in service and standard from visiting during the Winter months - young group of staff who seemed untrained and uninterested! They served one customer hot milk with tea, another waited 40 minuted for two toasted tea cakes and they had to remind them again, only to have something served that had no colour to it at all. We only had half an order served, and the crowning glory was when they closed the black roller blinds and left us all in the dark at lunchtime!

Called in as we were walking along the promenade went to the hatch and we were served by lovely friendly staff who brought our drinks over to the wall we were sat near the cafe as all the tables inside and out were full. Ordered a tea and an americano the coffee was good quality and my friend said the tea was good. Used the toilet and that was nice and clean and smelled fresh. If I was in the area again I would definitely pop in.

Stopped for a tea and a butty and got a proper pot of tea for 2 and very decent bacon roll and a BLT. Blooming delicious and very friendly staff and other customers. It’s the simple things in life we enjoy, and we loved this place.

Painfully slow service by people who clearly are not interested in customers. Stood for over 20 mins to be greeted with what do you want. £10 for 3 ice creams 2 in plastic drinks cups both different sizes. No please or thanks and no one smiling just chats about Uni. One lad def working hard clearing tables but that’s where it ends. I have been coming for years will give this a miss next time.

I visited this café with my grandchildren. We stood at the counter and were completely ignored by the rude young man. I have no problem with waiting, although it certainly wasn't busy! Approximately 4 tables occupied. He saw us, and to not even be acknowledged is rudeness. Some instruction on customer service and good manners are needed here. We moved on & received a warm welcome further along the Prom.

I'd been here before some years ago and remembered how nice it was, so brought friends this time and found it to be just as good. Lovely views. Fabulous friendy service, and great food. I shall look forward to dropping by again the next time I am visiting the Lakes.

My husband and I tried to eat here today with our 1 year old. We waited whilst the owner served one of her regulars and as I opened my mouth to speak, she completely ignored me and served someone else who was paying. We asked for a highchair and were told very abruptly, in fact very rudely, that she didn't have any because she didn't have room for them. I suspect this is because she doesn't want families in there. I'd say the only thing warm about this cafe was the open fire. Do not go here if you've got children, your money is not welcome unless you sit outside on the plastic seats with the dog owners.

Stopped for a cuppa and ice cream here, lovely little cafe on the promenade near the old outdoor lido, nice seating area overlooking the sea and towards Morecambe Bay, nice polite staff and very clean.

Lovely location and food well priced but service was so slow!!! We almost left but a lovely young man when I asked for service saved the day. Yes it was a Sunday mid. afternoon and quite busy, but we found window table easily and sat for at least 25 min before able to order or have table cleared.

Arrived just as they were packing away the tables but got two excellent ice creams to eat whilst strolling along the promenade in the sunshine. Great afternoon.

Very nice cafe with great views all round the bay also coffee and cake very nice and well priced and chairs and table cleaned every time customer leaves .

Super little cafe, with the loveliest staff. The young lad that served us is a credit to this place! 10/10

I can highly recommend the prom cafe next to the lido. The staff are very friendly and professional. The food is second to non. Obviously the scones are home made by an angel, because thay are heavenly. Sat in the sun with a stunning view across morecambe Bay. Easily 5 stars

Visited today queued for 15 minutes as service is very slow. Ordered two cream teams at £4.20 each. Received two miniature paper cups with tea in already made and two very small scones that had also already been made ie they had been cut in half, smothered in jam with a tiny amount of cream on top. The scones were not homemade as advertised, they were stale, the jam was far too much, they had no butter on them and the small dollop of cream was squirty cream! Absolutely awful. I've never had a cream tea served to me to n this manner and certainly never had one that involved squirty cream. Tea was also not good as it was to strong for me - not everyone likes builders tea you should be able to make to the strength you like. Will never go here again, expensive stale cheap ingredients avoid at all costs!

Walked along the promenade with my family today and came across this cafe. They sat outside whilst I ordered 2 lattes and an Americano and some cakes. The two young lads who served me didn’t seem to have much of a clue when it came to customer service and was I left standing with three drinks and two cakes wrapped in napkins and no way of carrying them!! A lady who worked there came to my rescue. Took the drinks to the table and couldn’t tell the difference between the lattes and the Americano. Presentation was very poor. Won’t be going back.

Lovely little cafe, seating is only available outside due to covid but staff were friendly and welcoming, ice creams and drinks were godd

We stopped off here and were pleased with the quality of the Cumberland sausage sandwiches. It is take away and outdoor seating only which wasn't a problem as it was warm and sunny. The cafe was quite busy but the two friendly staff on duty kept waiting times to a minimum.

this is a great little stop off on our half term prom walk from Kents bank and back. Today we sat inside and enjoyed a warm place to sit and enjoy the great selection of food on offer.

This is a lovely old style traditional cafe. We had soup and a tuna melt panini, both of which were very good. We also had tea which was very good too. The staff are extremely helpful and pleasant. Well worth a visit. Along from the cafe there is the traditional Lido which is due renovation in the future.

Had a lovely snack sat n garden after our walk along the Promenade. friendly staff reasonable prices. Nice view.

Came here on Sunday morning whilst having a on the promenade nice clean cafe friendly staff lots of tables and chairs outside to sit on whilst having your drink.and food to take in the lovely views we just had tea and coffee I was asked.if I wanted hot or cold milk in.my coffee which I thought was a nice gesture have been before and had cakes which were nice they seem to have a good selection of snacks for a small cafe

On visiting from edinburgh we stopped of here for coffee, we ordered 3 white coffees which were made fresh and were very enjoyably, only made better by the tremendous view over morecambe bay, lovely.

Lovely little cafe with great views and really good value for money. Very friendly staff. Inside was lovely and clean but also has lots of outdoor seating too.

just stopped for a drink but it is a nice little spot. friendly staff and dog friendly as well which is a bonus

We pushed a wheel chair with an 89 year old mother-in-law over the railway footbridge to reach this smashing cafe almost at the southernmost end of the Promenade at Grange. We were there for the perfect warm summer's day, so sat outside and enjoyed a lovely filter coffee and then ice creams - in cornets with chocolate flakes. Classical. The cafe has an old world feel and has breathtaking views of Morcombe bay, the now defunct Lido is nearby and it is only a short stroll on to the crazy golf, putting and bowling greens - all reminders of gentler summers. Very good toilet - very friendly service - a gem on the coast, a boon to locals and visitors alike!

We were on a long walk & stopped here for a well earned ice cream. Loads of flavours to choose & very good quality too.

Just called in for tea and scone with jam and cream. Lovely and tasty, just what I wanted. Pot of fresh brewed tea, perfect.

As a local, myself and my family have visited this lovely cafe many, many times. The service is always quick and friendly and inside, the cafe is bright, warm and clean. On warm days it is wonderful to sit at an outside table with a freshly baked scone with jam and cream and a pot of tea, looking out over the bay ..... chilling! Bliss!

What a view !! Sit and have tea or coffee, have lunch and just sit and watch the world go by. Excellent service ! Great hospitality. What more could you want

Grange over Sands has to be known as one of those delightfully charming and charactered little towns which for me, has not had to move into the 21st century’s busy and polluted cityscape! There’s few things as nice, as ambling down the promenade here, taking in the scenery and letting your young children safely play (think the town's a micro-climate, allowing it’s sub-tropical plants to thrive). But then stopping off at this cafe, for a nice cream (it’s cones are so fresh and tasty).

Popped in to the cafe for a coffee and scone. The walk along the very long promenade front is great especially for our 2 dogs. The area is very clean and well maintained. Nice to look across Morecambe Bay whether the tide was in or out. Really enjoyed our 3 day stay in this lovely area. Will be back..

This was chosen as a place to stop for coffee and cake on our cycling route. Unfortunately it was a bus ride instead as our bikes were totalled and the car too. It was a gentle stroll instead along the Grange Over Sands Promenade. Sat outside in the sunshine eating a buttered scone and watching the world go by with hot coffee.

Whenever we come to Grange-over-Sands we always stop for a coffee here and we had a toasted tea cake which was very good. Always a great welcome and excellent service, good location and reasonably priced, thanks again.

After a stroll along the seafront - beans on toast in this vintage cosy cafe was just the thing! Friendly service and a very good selection.

We popped in here for coffee and a bite to eat. 4 coffees, 2 bacon rolls, toasted teacake and cheese on toast later we were fit to go. Staff really friendly and helpful. We could even ask for coffee refills. Very obliging.

For a brew or an ice cream a great place to stop off on a walk along the prom or even on a bike tour with Lake District Bikes. Some outdoor seating but not a lot. Great views across Morecambe Bay

We were on a weekend break and called in to this lovely cafe on the promenade. It was a lovely day so sat outside enjoying our tea and yummy freshly baked scones with jam and cream and gazing at the amazing scenery. The menu looked amazing value for money, with nice choices for lunch. There was also a tearoom with inside eating. Lovely.

Found this place by accident, had two cream teas in the sunshine, good value for money - great food - not sure what else to say!

a very decent and friendly little seaside cafe. the ice creams are particularly good, and there is a a very fine view across Morecambe Bay to Arnside and Heysham from the tables they pt out on the prom. It would be perfect if there was a beach, but there isn't... the tides here are a bit much even for the fish!

Quite an extensive menu for a small cafe. We just had cups of tea but it was quite busy and people were ordering snacks and small meals, the service was very quick and the food was well presented.

Enjoyed another flavour of ice cream on our latest trip to Grange . Great little cafe with inside and outside seating and friendly staff

We have visited this cafe with our toddler many times. Since our last visit they have got rid of their high chair. Today we were not made to feel very welcome and were asked for our order before we had even decided if we were staying. We left and won’t be back. Pity.....but I did notice a new cafe opening on the promenade, maybe they will be more family friendly!!!

We love stopping here for an ice cream or tea and cake or scone when having a wander along the Prom. Great family business with friendly staff. Very generous ice cream scoops too - well done Promenade cafe, more places should follow your lead.

We found this lovely little place as we strolled down the Promenade. The staff were very friendly and there was a lovely choice of cakes to choose from along with a nice hot coffee. Great views from all seats.

Although somewhat 'out on a limb' the Promenade Cafe is an extremely good stopping point for strollers down the Promenade, where one can enjoy a break, a snack and spend some time watching the world go by.

This is a fabulous place to stop for a snack. Really friendly staff, great food and spectacular views. What more could you ask for?!

Popped in with the gang on a recent visit to The Prom. Despite there being 11 of us, they handled our order and it didn't seem to impact upon the frequent orders coming in from other tables. Lovely pots of tea, toasties and hot dogs. The array of cakes and ice creams also a bonus. Well worth a visit.

Parked car at the railway station and walked along the promenade towards the now closed Lido although drizzling and a bit chilly the walk was refreshing we called in the Promenade Cafe which from the very start was welcoming and homely service was very quick with super polite and friendly staff , and best of all gluten free excellent cake which was just ideal for my celiac partner , warmed and refreshed it was a pleasurable walk and return to the station car park.

First visit to Grange over sands.

What a hidden gem been to grange many times for years but the first today we came across this charming cafe with pleasent staff and stunning views to the bay in a lovely location tucked away on the prom not far from the lido pool which is like a bygone era looking through the fence a great cafe I'll definitely make this my regular haunt when in grange

We shared nice tea and scones with jam and clotted cream and had a window seat with a great view. Waitress was very pleasant.The only disappointment was the cafe interior with green plastic seats and old plastic tableclothes - a few more home comforts would be appreciated .

We found our way to the promenade on our first day near Grange. The cafe was an oasis on a hot sunny day. Over looking the bay and hills and tucked into the hillside it provided and ideal setting for our first cup of Cumbrian tea accompanied by scone and cream. On our last day we revisited Grange to pick up some of the excellent pies from the town so once again strolled along the promenade. This time we had ice creams. 'Thunder and lightening' was one flavour on offer. When I asked what the flavour was, it was explained and then much to my surprise was offered a free sample. Delicious! Cheerful service. Excellent value. Can't fault it.

we were just walking along the Promenade and came across the café could sit out but we went in side lovely oldie world .and best of all lovely coffee and tea and nice service and as I say we will B back

We walked down the prom on a hot day and had a bite to eat here. Good value very basic cafe but the views and location are a must. It was a warm day and we sat on the prom enjoying the expansive views of the bay, and watched the trains.
