The 2 Sisters Cafe in South Lakeland

Stumbled upon this lovely cafe when looking for somewhere to get coffee and cake after a walk at Troutbeck. We got a very friendly welcome despite it being fairly close to closing. Amazing selection of cakes including gf and df. Definitely recommend stopping by.

The afternoon tea was delicious. There was a lovely atmosphere and the staff were very attentive. Very reasonably priced too.

Called in on our visit to the on site bakery. We decided to order just toast & drinks, we had eaten a full breakfast in our hotel. We were greeted by a very pleasant young lady, & directed to our table. Our order was taken & delivered quickly, lovely coffee, and proper thick toasted bread, not thin sliced. All in all an excellent experience. We will definitely return, when next in the area.

Tasty cake, helpful staff, good portions. Farm shop next door sells lots of delicious food. Recommended by a friend & I can see why!

First time that we have visited this cafe. Were impressed by the menu and the variety of cakes on offer. We had a savoury dish together with a cafe to follow. Very nice lunch indeed. The coffee wasn't bad either. We will certainly be revisiting, well worth a visit.

We visited here twice whilst on holiday, had the full breakfast once and scrambled eggs and bacon the second time. Both were excellent. The place has a loveley friendly atmosphere and the food is great. Local produce well cooked and niceley presented. Its also good value to, and great coffee. Highly recomended if you're in the area, we will certainly go back next time we are in the area.

Took my husband for Afternoon Tea on his birthday. Absolutely delicious! The staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble. An amazing array of cakes, which made choosing very hard! My husband says they were the “best scones ever”, and he’s quite a connoisseur!!

Stopped for coffee on a warm day and found a warm welcome and a lovely spot to relax and watch the world go by. Plenty of choice of food and drink.

A 1st visit here for lunch, all outside tables occupied with speedy and friendly service we had an afternoon team and a chicken burger made with chicken breast a very generous serving.

We live in Kendal and have used this cafe a number of times. We particularly enjoy popping out for a weekend breakfast - Covid restrictions allowing, of course. The staff are always warm and welcoming, and the wait usually not too long - just long enough that we know it is being cooked fresh. Would certainly recommend, and we look forward to visiting more frequently when lockdown allows.

We discovered this cafe recently after a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint. We’ve been a few times now and every time has been fantastic. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming, service is efficient and the cafe itself is lovely and cosy with a log fire. The food is absolutely delicious - the scrambled egg with parmesan for breakfast is so good, I’m really picky with how I like my scrambled eggs but these are always perfectly cooked. My partner commented that his sausage bun was one of the best he’s ever had. Lunch is lovely too, amazing jacket potatoes and great big portions, and the cakes are amazing to finish off. Would highly recommend and will keep returning!

We always stop here on our visit to the lakes for breakfast. The food is excellent and nothing is too much trouble for the staff, especially in these covid times. We had a full English breakfast with hot drinks, but a child who was with us has a lactose intolerance, the staff made suitable substitutions and treated ou little guest like a queen. They're is a butcher on site to, so after it for we stick up on fresh local meat. Can't praise this establishment enough.

Fabulous breakfast! Nicely served, friendly staff and delicious flavours just like home! Wysmienite . Polecamy 😋

These guys are fantastic, service is exceptional, social distanced well, friendly service, awesome food will definitely return, many thanks

Lots of nice cakes. Had a lovely Carrot Cake and a warming hot chocolate yum. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Nos detuvimos aquí porque teníamos la intención de visitar la tienda de la granja también. La tienda de la granja estaba cerrada el día que visitamos, lo que me desanimó, pero el delicioso almuerzo lo compensó. Ambos tuvimos paninis que venían con una ensalada fresca encantadora. También tenía una bebida caliente cada uno. El servicio fue rápido y el personal fue amable y se cumplieron todas las pautas de Covid. Buen precio tambien. No tengo quejas y volvería a visitar.

Encontré esta pequeña joya por accidente. Nos detuvimos a tomar un café y terminé almorzando y me alegro de haberlo hecho.Ambos tuvimos el quiche, que era el mejor servido con ensalada y ensalada de col casera.El café se limpiaba y limpiaba entre los clientes, lo que te hacía sentir más seguro de alguna manera. El personal era agradable y servicial y había una buena selección de pasteles, etc.Definitivamente lo recomendaría a todos

Tomé un delicioso té de la tarde. Todo estaba recién hecho y entregado a su mesa con una sonrisa.El mío era un té de la tarde con un capuchino.Recomendamos encarecidamente venir a tomar el té de la tarde. Reservamos nuestra visita con antelación y nos alegramos de haberlo hecho, ya que estaba muy ocupado.

Paramos antes de hoy, el personal muy amable nos dio la bienvenida, limpió una mesa, teníamos un perro pequeño con nosotros, así que tuvimos una mesa exterior que tenía una persiana arriba.El menú recibió una buena variedad de comida fría y caliente, café encantadorLa comida llegó bastante rápido y se veía muy bien, disfrutamos mucho también fuimos por pudín. ??GraciasLugar agradable

Quick service, very friendly and helpful staff & amazing quality, delicious food! Very reasonably priced at £12.50pp Couldn’t recommend enough.

Absolutely scrummy breakfast and coffee. Would have loved cakes but we were too full. Really friendly place too and great staff. Recommended to all our friends when they travel this way.

We visited in August 2020 and have driven past this junction may times on our way to the lakes. Not any more ! We stopped off whilst waiting to check into our hotel to take a look around the local area. This was a real find. They offered inside or outside dining and was very well organised. Well presented food, good choices clearly freshly home cooked with pot of tea - will definitely visit again, very pleasant stop off and friendly service !

We went here for lunch and were pleased that we did - it was fantastic! My daughter has just been diagnosed as needing to be gluten-free, and the cafe immediately responded to my messages asking if they had any GF options (which they did). The menu was varied and interesting, the service was efficient and friendly, and the food was really tasty and freshly prepared.Save space for pudding - the cakes and desserts are superb!Highly recommended, and we'd definitely come again

We walked for nearly two hours to reach Plumgarth only to find I had messed up my booking and there were no tables.....but the staff quickly did all they could for us and we enjoyed a wonderful lunch. There was no fuss just brilliant service.I had grilled goats cheese with beetroot salad with bread and walnuts followed by lemon pie - and then had to try to walk back home again.

Called for the first time after seeing advertised on socal media what a lovely cafe. The staff were very welcoming and pleasant. Nothing too much for them. Even asked if my not wanting peppers on the salad was due to an allergy or a preference thing. Have bever been asked that before. The lemon meringue was to die for. Will definitely be calling back next time down kendal direction

Absolutely delicious lunch here today. Tuna mayo on sourdough bread was really tasty. Came with creamy home-made coleslaw and a very well presented salad. Raspberry lemonade rounded it off. Variety of cakes on offer by I was too full - unfortunately!!

Great to be back with the sisters again after a long a disciplined lockdown and to see that have adopted all of the measures to make their lovely cafe covid safe. Sisters Magda & Monica have been servings us delicious food and drink with a big smile and a warm welcome for several years now. The consistency and the quality of their offerings is remarkable - and in terms of value for money - then you definitely get what you pay for. It is hard to recommend any menu item specifically, because everything we have ever tried has always been excellent! My wife and I love a good cafe and ‘The Two Sisters at Plumgarths’ is a our favourite cafe in all of the Lakes. - Gary & Janet from the Fylde.

A lovely and satisfying visit to our favourite sisters and our meal was definitely the best with soup and a sandwich for me and a bacon roll for my lady and a pot of tea perfect. The welce and service is always friendly and pleasant.

I discovered this place en route to the Lakes in January. I say discovered but I had driven past it countless times over the years though had never visited. I was so impressed that yesterday lunchtime, my friend and I decided to do a detour there before going to Sizergh Castle for the rest of the afternoon.We arrived just before midday and were seemingly lucky to grab a table as it was very busy. The broccoli and sweetcorn quiche was in all honesty one of the best quiches I have ever eaten and it was huge. A great deep filling and crisp pasty with a side salad - what's not to like!The large central table was taken up with an extremely noisy party of (I am guessing) students. Not the fault of the cafe owners of course but to be so loud in a small area is extremely thoughtless in my opinion. Rant over.

Excellent choice on menu staff very helpful prices were average. Close to town centre cant fault it.

Outside -a dismal day . Inside - warm and pleasant Very good full English breakfast , everything that you could want on a large plate. Good quality bacon and sausages *.Coffees in big cups.Very pleasant service.* The bacon and sausage is supplied by the butcher next door - and a good butcher with quality meat .Parking is no problem .

Era mi madre 60 y quería ir a almorzar. Entramos pidiendo una mesa de 5 para el almuerzo. . . fueron muy groseros. Aparentemente, esa es una mesa enorme y estaríamos esperando una cantidad de tiempo "imprevisto". Entonces no se nos permitió reservar una mesa con tan poca antelación. Simplemente no moleste la pérdida de tiempo y el servicio al cliente es horrible.

Little stop off at this hidden cafe/butchers. Good parking & spotless cafe serving variety of food. Sandwiches. Cakes. Great coffee & tea (with dairy free milk). Popped into butchers & bought 4 beautiful pieces of steak. Seemed a busy place visited by locals.

I have lost count of the number of times I've seen the signs for this place from the bypass and thought "We should try that sometime". Well, today I was out with a friend for the day and we did try it. I was surprised how much there was on the site, not just the cafe.We arrived probably around 11.30 or so and the cafe was almost full so we asked to share a table with two other people. We only wanted hot drinks but looking around at the food, we said we would definitely like to try out a proper lunch at some point.

Nice food with Good frienly service It had a Small seating area that can get full at peak times. We shared a table with people which was friendly.

I love this place. Staff are always friendly. Great cake and homemade food. Menu is a little repetitive when you visit several times a week - never had any complaints!

This was our 3rd visit and it never disappoints. Lovely food with generous portions. Great atmosphere and excellent service. We'll be back.

Our favourite! Always call in for a late breakfast on the way to a walk in the Lakes. Love the freshly cooked food and always great service.

Primera vez visitando este café y no me decepcionó. Tomamos el té de la tarde para el té y estaba delicioso. El personal es encantador en este café y el café era cálido con su estufa de leña y un ambiente relajado.

Nos quedamos en la zona, así que nos detuvimos para tomar café y pastel. Muy contentos de haberlo hecho, ambos disfrutamos de un café blanco plano muy caliente y un bollo de fruta recién horneado, ¡delicioso! Sin duda volveremos la próxima vez que visitemos el área de Kendal, espero que para el almuerzo la próxima vez.

Have eaten here many times and the food is always consistently good! The bacon sandwiches are wonderful as are the quiches and soup. It can get busy at peak times but it is worth persevering for a table. Even when busy service is never slow.

We found this quite by chance, dying for a cuppa en route to the Lakes. The team were very busy on the Sunday lunchtime, but found us a corner, complete with squashy sofa and newspapers. The cakes were to die for, the soups substantial and the ingredients all local. We stocked up in the goodies in the shop too - excellent cuts of meat and all the accompaniments from local suppliers, cakes, biscuits artisan gins,,, good stuff!

We have Sunday breakfast here when we are in area (about 6 times a year). The breakfasts are always beautifully cooked and served, The staff are friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Even the cutlery is sparkling!

We stopped for a quick lunch on the way to the Lake District. This very busy cafe has quiche, salads, soups and sandwiches. The cakes are excellent. Reasonably priced. Quick service. Pleasant staff.

This little gem is just a couple of miles from our home,Wehad tried to visit on other occasions but at lunchtime it was too busy so this time we went after the lunchtime rush, It is a small cafe part of a farm shop. The staff were very welcoming and most helpful.Sorting out food appropriate for my GF,DF diet.A good experience.

Had breakfast and a cake yesterday morning, all freshly cooked and it was delicious. I had my grandson with me and met a friend and it was brilliant, the gluten free cakes are the best offer in the area.

It's an ok type off place, food just ok, a little expensive for what is offered, service just ok too. Last visited here about 3 or 4 years ago and it's pretty much exactly the same menu and layout - could do with perhaps few slight changes to reinvigorate it

Just stopped here on the way back down south, meeting family for breakfast.

A place we visit fairly frequently. Easy parking and we know the food is always good. Wonderful massive paninis this time from Lovingly Artisan and polite and friendly service, as usual. Will return soon.

My Mum and brother have been raving about the food here for a while and they were absolutely right! I really enjoyed my meal, the portions were huge, very tasty and fresh, you can tell they go the extra mile. I will definitely be returning!

Looking for a farm shop on route to the Lakes and came across this via an internet search. Pleasantly surprised and so much more than a cafe. Staff were extremely helpful, always smiling, a breath of fresh air in customer service. The food was excellent and appeared home made, from the quiche, the soup and the amazing desserts. Highly recommended.

We had a sort of brunch which was lovely the place although small was well laid out with plenty of comfortable seating including outside but spoilt outside because smoking allowed. The staff were very nice nothing to much trouble all food cooked fresh and quickly. There are a choice of artisan breads to choose from although I would have preferred to know the sourdough was seeded because I don’t like mustard seeds thankfully my bread didn’t have any so I was able to enjoy my breakfast. The Ciabatta was lovely. Coffee was very nice but best of all the cakes so much choice and huge pieces one is enough to share and just finishes off the meal nicely or good just with coffee. The prices are in line with similar places serving this type of food and are very reasonable. I would definitely recommend the two sisters and will certainly be visiting again when in Kendal.

We arrived a little late in the afternoon and ordered what we thought was a snack! We were pleasantly surprised that even an open sandwich came really as a meal, so although a little pricy the food is well worth it. Everything appeared and dated fresh and service was good although there was some difficulty understanding one waitress's accent!

This cafe had been recommended to us and it didn't disappoint! We went for breakfast and very much enjoyed our choice of bacon rolls - lovely bread! A really good find and a cafe we'd definitely return to next time we are in the Lakes!

Amazing place. We sat outside in the sunny weather but inside was lovely too. Great menu selection, food arrived very quickly and of great quality. Cake selection and taste was super. Great service too! We will be back!

Google said vegan options available, but to my disappointment it was not the case. A bit disappointing!

Called in for breakfast and were not disappointed. The service was excellent and the food delicious. Breads from the local bakery over the road which was delicious. Great range of hot chocolates especially the Salted Caramel. Would highly recommend and would defo return

Lovely place . Cosy atmosphere . Gorgeous cakes . Great friendly service. Highly recommend.. very quaint and welcoming

Very good home made meals. A quick efficient and friendly service. All was at a reasonable price and worth it. Would recommend this cafe to anyone.

What a lovely place this is, the food is delicious, the staff are pleasant and caring for their customers. It is a relaxed atmosphere comfy seats, there is an outdoor area also for nice sunny days. All in all a great place to visit. Plenty of parking too.

We’ve eaten at the 2 Sisters at Plumgarths twice in the past month. We love it, It’s been recently extended to create a covered patio. This is useful in the hot weather and also if you have a dog, as we do. Great food and polite, prompt service. One of our favourites.

Needed a mid morning snack to curb our Tuesday blues. Settled on one bacon and one Plumgarth's sausage sandwich on sourdough served by polite and engaging staff. Needed a lie down afterwards to contemplate the true beauty of what we had consumed. Would gladly sell my house and all its contents to dine in perpetuity at this establishment. The Eighth Wonder of the modern world. In Kendal. Near Waterstones and almost opposite Spurrets so you can pick up Bob and Paul's fishing book AND some contact lens solution while you wait for your sandwich perfection.

Have been a few times now and have never been disappointed. Make it a must for a good hearty breakfast each time we visit the Lakes. The service is second to non with very friendly staff.

We stopped off here on a whim and feel very fortunate that we did. Breakfast was amazing very fresh and tasty served with amazing bread. The service was very good with smiling faces ,all together a lovely place that has good menu and at a reasonable price with excellent quality food. There also looked to be amazing cakes on display ,but we were too stuffed from the breakfast

Been going to this cafe a number of years now, and it never disappoints me. Soup is delicious every time. Service is spot on and I would highly recommend it to all ages. You might be better booking a table as it’s busy all the time. Looking forward to going back already :-)

Lovely quaint little place . Beautiful cakes and pastries. Warm and welcoming. Relaxed enviroment.would highly recomend

Visited for coffee and cake and received a very warm welcome. We ordered a coffee each (1 decaf) and they arrived quickly and freshly made. The accompanying lemon cake was absolutely delicious. A definite must visit again venue.

Recently visit the 2 sisters Cafe@ Plumgarths whilst visiting the Lake District. I would thoroughly recommend anyone make the trip, especially for their breakfast. The use of the artisan bread made the breakfast so much more than just a cooked breakfast. The fresh breakfast products which had been locally sourced were outstanding.

Food excellent. Service couldn't be better.love visiting with friends.they make a very good breakfast. Lunches also are very good nothing bad to say about this restaurant

We arrived at 10.20 on a Sunday morning and got one of the last tables inside.

Good cafe, well run and tidy. Its got the country side feel. We went in for our breakfast, enjoyed everything on the plate and was very filling.

Lovely wee cafe. Good selection on the menu. We enjoyed a generous sized full English breakfast with a pot of tea. The kids loved the scrambled eggs with artisan toast. Mouthwatering selection of cakes. We loved the banoffee pie!

We zijn hier de afgelopen weken een paar keer geweest. Het is ons heel goed bevallen. Goede lunch en de aftrrnoon tea for two is een grote aanrader! Zou haast genoeg zijn voor 4 personen. Goede kwaliteit. Het vlees of de gemarineerde mix van groente met vlees uit de winkel is heerlijk om mee te nemen voor het diner thuis. Men verkoopt top kwaliteit spullen.

after a long journey we stopped for breakfast, bacon butty and really good coffee.service was good and venue was pleasant

Went for breakfast and had the pleasure of sitting outside in the sunshine. There is cover if you don’t want to be in direct sunlight. I had the best sausage sandwich ever in an artisan roll which was beautifully soft. My husband as usual had the full English and he was very happy. Would definitely recommend this place. The cakes also looked delicious. A little gem hidden away with a farm shop for other treats, a bakery, coffee place and another cakes & bakes outlet.

We went last Saturday for a brew and cake. The chocolate cake was amazing. Rich and moist best cake I’ve had in a while. Would definitely recommend 😊

This is a remarkable place that is situated in an enclave that covers a fabulous array of foody things.

Popped in today for an impromptu afternoon tea. The staff were wonderful and friendly. They were happy to go the extra mile for us and we were so impressed.

We went for lunch with family, 2 of us had the tuna salad, it was really delicious, my husband had a jacket potato with chilli, he really enjoyed it, I had a mocha with almond milk, more places should serve dairy free milk for drinks, the cakes were delicious. Staff and service excellent. I recommend to book as it gets very busy.

First time visiting here. We went for coffee and cake but ended up having an open sandwich which was extremely tasty. The menu was quite limited i thought. But the selection of cakes were amazing and the coffee was delicious. Lovely staff and atmosphere so We will probably go back often. As we are local this will be our new coffee and cake place i think! Lovely.

Monika and Magda are very friendly! Went for a quick breakfast with my fiancé while visiting Lake District and had a great meal Will visit again when back in the area ☺️

It was our 1st time and definitely not our last. Food was aw, delicious and so very tasty. Food was well presented and you could taste every flavour. We had the egg sandwiches and they were heaven - the best I’ve ever tasted before in a cafe. The drinks were great too, we had Lattes and they weren’t too bitter. The safety were warm and very friendly and professional. The kitchen was busy but looked clean and tidy and running like clock work! The prices were good too and won’t dint your wallet. A definite must and well worth a stop

Very friendly and enjoyable food ,in the town centre so good for visitors worth a visit,been a couple of times and would go return

How beautiful is this? We stopped for a quick coffee & to break our journey. This place is perfect! Great coffee, comfortable & beautifully decorated modern cafe with home made produce & farm shop. Definitely worth the stop

The staff here go out of their way to make one feel at home. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them.

I was visiting the Lake District last weekend, staying in Kendal. I am someone who very much bases their trips around reviews, so given the popularity of this cafe my partner and I went for breakfast on Saturday morning.

We had a coffee and a cake outside and it was very nice with the dog! The staff were very friendly and there is a nice ambience about the building

We've had breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea at the Two Sisters and every time it has been absolutely delicious. It is a friendly and welcoming cafe; the cakes and quiches are very tempting and the coffee is the best we've had.

Wonderful food, which is locally sourced, served by professional staff in a relaxing atmosphere - perfect!!

Lovely cafe with friendly staff and good atmosphere. Enjoyed lunch and good coffee. Plenty of choice and good service. Definitely recommend.

We had a superb breakfast today, amazing scrambled eggs on artisan bread and a Full English breakfast. The food was freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. There is a lovely atmosphere in the 2 sisters which is happy and gentle. Thank you Ian and Julie.

Lovely cafe with a charming atmosphere. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is delicious! Would recommend to anybody to stop by when in the area.

We came to the lakes to visit friends from Scotland. As we came off the motorway we looked for a cafe. I saw the sign but my husband drove on by. The next day we were looking for a breakfast as our hotel charged for it. We saw the sign again and drove in. A warm welcome awaited. Service was impeccable and friendly. Our breakfasts all delivered to the correct person was delicious and hot. The place is spotless, friendly, warm & inviting. Many locals popped in which says a lot. The tiny bit packed farm shop was clean & tidy. I purchased a bottle of gin. We enjoyed it so much we returned again today. The ladies all worked hard and were very pleasant wishing us safe journey. I would most definitely return. Let’s hope they win a top prize from trip advisor for 2019. They deserved it.

A great hour spent with a friend, having lunch and putting the world to rights. Very good staff and one we hope to repeat with other friends. Thank you

Very friendly and food was delicious and presented imaginatively. Full Afternoon tea for one, open ham and mustard mayo sandwich, pot of tea for one cost c. £20. It’ll be busy at peak times. Cakes and scones were delicious. Enjoy!

stopped here on our way to Bowness on Windermere for breakfast. We both had the full English, couldn't fault a thing. Food and service were excellent. Also called in the shop for essentials and the sour dough baker, had a cheeses and chillie loaf very tasty.

Popped in for a late lunch, and loved the ambience, the service and the food which was attractively presented, fresh and delicious. Worth popping in to the adjoining shop for farm produce, and there is a bakery and a coffee producer on site too.

There couldnt be a more friendly eating stop with excellent homemade food. The cakes are to die for. Always a smile on arrival and a goodbye when you leave.

Consistently good. Fantastic cakes, soups, lunches. Staff are brilliant. Would never hesitate to recommend. Only problem is because it is so good it gets very busy at times so recommend booking.

Been here for breakfast twice a year for last 4 years. This place is so good it's worth the 5 hour drive from London alone...then there's the lakes!
