The Coffee Pot in South Lakeland

Oh my word. Came to Grange, anticipating pies and mash, local beers and so on and so forth. I got the above and more. I just ate the best Filipino food since I was in the Philippines. Pork adobo. Out of this world. Pork Bicol express. Blimey. We actually stopped for coffee at 10am and came back for dinner because of the smell. Absolutely world class Filipino cuisine and don’t even have a second thought about it. Seriously wow. Great food (cafe cuisine or otherwise) great coffee and wonderful, wonderful staff. Fantastic. Oh and loads of gluten free and dairy free options!

We come to Grange to visit family regularly and we always pop in here for coffee and cakes , ever since kids declared their luxury hot chocolate the best ever about 10 years ago. We always have a lovely time - staff are incredibly friendly and kind. It is a café - not a restaurant. So on the one hand you won't get silver service with your meals - on the other they'll be fine about you bunging your own tables together. Really must try the Filipino meals one of these times.

Absolutely delicious food. 5 meals ordered and all devoured. The Curry and the Chicken Pineapple dish particularly lovely. Really friendly owner and staff and dog friendly too. Really enjoyable afternoon.

2nd time we have been here, both times we were impressed with the excellent food, service and atmosphere, option for eating outdoors with great views.

We found here by accident when we were out walking our dogs. We sat outside admiring the view and drank a beautiful coffee. The best was yet to come though… the food! We were going to order a toastie but after seeing the menu we went for the chicken curry and the stir fry. They were AMAZING. So tasty and the best meal out we have had in a long time. I wish I could describe the flavours in more detail. You must visit. Our only regret was that we didn’t have room for pudding afterwards. Thank you for a beautifully freshly made tasty meal

Lovely spot, friendly staff but very disappointed with the food. Bacon sandwich was £8 and 2 slices of slightly toasted bread with bacon. I work in the trade so I know the cost of things including overheads but this was definitely not worth the cost. The coffees were lukewarm and the salad with the cold sandwich was pitiful. May try again if out in this area but only as a last resort.

Lovely family-run restaurant with a mix of British and Filipino dishes. I had the Pininyahang Manok and rice which was absolutely amazing! The cafe has a balcony that overlooks Morecombe Bay - it was a lovely sunny afternoon with wonderful food - couldn’t ask for more really!

Lovely quaint little cafe with a pretty little veranda for sitting outside looking over Morecambe Bay. My husband and I had coffee and cakes. My scone was delicious. Very friendly staff and reasonably priced. We loved it.

A true gem...not to be missed. The owner and staff are very pleasant? the food is excellent. Everything is freshly prepared and the prices are very reasonable. One not to miss

Pleasant stop for coffee over looking Morecambe Bay. Friendly good natured lady running the cafe. Excellent cup of hot latte and cappuccino. Delicious Tiffin and Squidgy Lemon cake in a take out box with enough for second helping later. Good value too.

Lovely little cafe with lovely views over the bay. Good choice menu, very pleasant staff, good value for money. Would certainly recommend.

We have been here before, and it's well situated, so we stopped off again. It's got a good area to lock your bikes away. We found a table, lots of tables for two, three people came in and struggled to find enough seating for all of them. Staff didn't offer to put the tables together, and they left. We ordered a pot of tea for two, a tuna toastie and a caramelised onion and cheese toastie. Everything arrived in good time, a large tea pot. The toastie arrived with a token gesture of a salad, afew peppers, and cucumber! The tuna toastie should have been named mayo with tuna as it was lacking tuna, and the mayo wasn't even mixed into the tuna. I did complain after I'd eaten half, and I was shocked by the lack of filling. It was brought back slightly better. It cost £21 which I feel is quite expensive. Apart from the food, it's a lovely place with great views.

Coffee and service was excellent. Went in with my mum for refreshments and she left her hand bag behind. Very grateful for the kind owner to keep hold of the handbag until my mum collected it later

Stopped for lunch and was really impressed with the quality of the food and price! Staff really friendly on the whole although one young girl was quite surly

Only get to come here rarely when visiting family, but I would have breakfast here every day if I could! Our order (three breakfasts and an egg bap, plus drinks) arrived really quickly and was absolutely delicious. Not everywhere includes fried bread in their breakfasts these days, but it's my second favourite (and least healthy) thing (bacon is best, obviously). Lovely owner and waitress.

Lovely little cafe with lovely views over the bay. Good choice menu, very pleasant staff, good value for money.

Really good for Gluten Free service, can recommend the Vegan Stir Fry - delicious. The Sticky Toffee Pudding with ice cream was a generous portion (not gluten free) and the service was friendly as well as dog friendly

Lovely spot and friendly people. Just passing and popped in for a tea and coffee PLUS a BLT and scone on a beautiful November day. The shone through this little gem

Stopped here en route to Ravenglass, v handy just up from the car park. I'd eaten lunch here 3 months ago and enjoyed it so thought I'd try with my husband Grt view across the bay - even in a wet n windy day! Last time I had an omelette this time thought I'd try the Filipino food..pork adobo and chicken phinny something (with pineapple) both dishes were lovely, not spicy and plenty meat, 2 cups of tea = £29. Staff friendly and helpful. Whilst I didn't spot any dogs (see prev review) I did spot dog treats at the counter where you order and pay.

Good views across the bay, especially if you sit by the window. A good cafe, with a Philippine flavour.

Visit this Cafe regularly. You always receive a friendly smile with great service. Lovely To be able to sit outside on the balcony and watch the world go by.

We happened upon this gem of a cafe by chance on Sunday morning looking for somewhere to have breakfast. We both had a full English breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. The staff couldn’t have been lovelier - very welcoming and the service was excellent. I nipped to the toilet before we left and was impressed by how clean they are! This is a tiny cafe but super, super good!

We visited here with our dog as it said it was dog friendly.They did let us in but when asked if we could have some water for the dog, we were told there was a bowl of water outside at the front of the cafe...

Great location, where you can sit outside overlooking the sea there is also seating inside. Warm welcome, very tasty cakes. We went twice as location is ideal and found everyone very welcoming.

Always visited the cafe just for ice cream. But this time I thought I’d try the food. And I’m glad I did. Freshly cooked and delicious food. Fast service too. I will be coming back.

Really friendly staff. Had a lovely lunch of bacon baps, tea and coffee. All simply delicious. Lovely views of the Bay.

Nice food,friendly service and very clean. Had the full breakfast,did not disappoint and only took a matter of minutes before it was ready. Would definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

A pleasant surprise. Lovely, interesting Filipino food and also ‘British classics’ done very nicely. The whole place looked well looked after and managed.

Looking at the previous reviews made me wonder why anyone would go to a cafe that specialises in authentic, delicious, freshly made, Filipino food, which is really reasonably priced, then order a fry up, or a fish finger sandwich. It just defies understanding. Anyway -...

Called in for a lite bite and coffee, a great view from the veranda if the weather nice outside. The bread in my sarnie seemed of poor quality but the bacon was lovely. Great coffee. Staff very nice and service good, just let down by...

Absolutely fantastic Filipino food Great value and excellent authentic food. Wonderful discovery We had an excellent lunch and would go back in a heart beat. Wonderful.

We visited the cafe initially primarily because it was next to the promenade and had a balcony overlooking Morecombe bay. However, after having lunch there, we had to go back again the next day because the food was so good. If you're visiting the town,...

Visited one of our favourite venues in Grange again today. Spotlessly clean, friendly service and a great meal. Dog welcome and free dog biscuits. What a view from the balcony! Thank you. We will be back.

Probably the worst meal we have ever been served. Chicken used in the curry was no better than offal. Piece of wing with skin attached was the centre piece. Rice was dumped on the plate in lumps. Complained about it was was meet with O

Great wee cafe with fantastic views. Lovely coffee and a selection of things to eat from a scone to a main meal. Very good coffee and dog friendly.

We enjoyed our breakfast here. Stunning views to enjoy our breakfast with. Friendly staff. We ordered a Filipino Meal for our breakfast as a one-off with a cappuccino. Cappuccino was gorgeous. And the meal was also fantastic. We will definitely be returning.

Visited on a glorious sunny day in march and sat outside. Neither of us has ever eaten Filipino food, but my husband couldn't resist the pork adobo curry which he said was delicious and has already looked the recipe to to cook when we get...

Great surprise to find authentic Filipino food for lunch before a walk around Grange. Very spicy and delicious. Highly recommended if you like tasty spicy food.

We called here for coffee and had a fruit scone. The fruit scone was absolutely delicious, and was the factor that improved the score to 3. As if we only had the coffee it would have score very badly. The coffee saving grace was that...

We always come here when we visit. The food is always good and the staff are lovely. I would highly recommend.

Hadn't realised that this café was a Philippine Restaurant at night but met the owner at a social event and thought we really must try it. We were so glad we did. What amazing food! Have posted a copy of the menu which had a...

Welcoming staff, we had a delicious chicken curry and a mungo bean stew with rice followed by scone with clotted cream. Makes a nice change from the usual cafe meals.

The food was very delicious and i had a second hot chocolate as it was very nice. The owner talked to us as we have lots of questions about the surrounding area. Small place but worth your time if you feeling peckish

Popped into cafe this morning on our way through Grange ..wasn’t disappointed..very friendly welcome from the owner ……wonderful coffee together with very tasty sausage and bacon sandwich !!, will definitely recommend this cafe …hope to return again when we are next in the area !!

We had tea and cakes. Very reasonably priced, tasty cakes and friendly service. Recommended for a cake stop or snack time.

We had afternoon tea. Good quality tea and a lovely chocolate orange cake, which was very unusual but 'scrummy'. Priced in line with similar venues.

Dropped in for impromptu drink and decided to eat. Filipino and British food both excellent and reasonably priced. Absolutely spotless and excellent and friendly staff, We’ll be back soon,

We were travelling home from our lake district holiday and visited Grange over Sands on the way. We enjoyed the walk along the promenade and decided to eat our evening meal before we went home. We hadn't banked on everywhere being booked up as it was busy but on searching we came across this little gem! It's a Filipino restaurant with a balcony overlooking Morecambe bay. We had super friendly service and the chicken curry dish (can't remember it's proper name) we had was exceptional. The only thing I would change would be the coffee but only a minor problem. We watched the sun go down and then walked down to the promenade car park below to make our journey home. A perfect end to a perfect holiday. The staff and surroundings were lovely.

Visited based on the reviews that it had received, have to say I'm baffled. Maybe we should have tried the Philippine menu selection as it may have faired better, menu confusing and what we had was overpriced, cold drinks especially pricey. Food was greasy and generally unpleasant. Wasps inside and out, no escaping them despite table move. Tomato ketchup in a heinz bottle but was not heinz and whatever spread they use on the cheap bread is overpowering and just tastes nasty. 2 stars as View for the period we sat outside was lovely. Young waitress was friendly and helpful, other staff abrupt. All in all an expensive lunch that was far from enjoyable.

This place isn't posh. it's unpretentious, you order at the counter (they also do takeaways) and the menu isn't extensive. However, the Phillipino food is very good. I can recommend the Pineapple Chicken. the lady cooking and the waitress were both very friendly and they also have a range of lovely home-made cakes. And it's in a great elevated position overlooking Morecambe Bay with an outside area if the weather is nice.

Arrived for a very late lunch, met by fantastic friendly staff and sat on the balcony looking over the bay. Extremely reasonable prices for the very tasty Filipino food that could be adjusted for spiceyness Good range of beers along with wine and procecco.

We always come here when we visit. The food is always good and to sit on the balcony in the sunshine looking at the lovely views over the bay is a real treat.

Lovely little cafe situated just off the main street when you are going down to the promenade. Cafe felt really welcoming and you weren't rushed, it was lovely to enjoy the food and relax.We really enjoyed the food and drinks we had. Only a small menu but adequate for what we wanted and the Lakes ice cream was lovely.

Lovely little cafe with a beautiful balcony giving views of the sands. Staff were very friendly and the quality of our traditional breakfast was fantastic. If we return I would love to try the authentic Filipino food for lunch.

Called here for a bite to eat. Really nice place great food friendly staff and reasonably priced!! Great views too!! Very clean. They male the best omelettes!!

We visited this restaurant regularly when on holiday in September and October for coffee, snacks and lunches. We really enjoyed all visits. The scones were very nice.

Ordered a Pininiyahang Manok dishes from Filipino cuisine menu. It was creamy coconut chicken and vegetable dish with pinapple chunks with rice. Very flavoursome and not too spicy which we prefer. Definitely recommended. Good value at £8.50 each! But it’s only Thursday Friday Saturday during lockdown atm I think.

What a beautiful cafe. We called in for a brew and ended up staying for a sandwich and a cream tea. The staff were lovely and the food tasty. Would definitely visit again... The staff are an absolute credit to the business. Thank you

My Fiancé called in here while he waited for me to have a beauty treatment. He had already spoken to the owner and took her advise on what to have to eat. I went for full English all day breakfast - it was really good, nice tasty sausages, well cooked bacon and hash browns, my eggs were little over done for me, but then I didn't specify my choice - was a good plate of food.When David's stew and rice arrived I had a taste - was so disappointed that I hadn't ordered the same. Well presented and tasted devine. Coffee was really good too.Service was swift and friendly. Will definitely go back to try real Filipino food made by a true Filipino. Well worth a visit.

four of us sat on the terrace in the sun for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed it all only slight negative was it seemed very slightly expensive but would still go back again if we could sit in the sun again

Value for money, great food, great view on balcony tables, very friendly, happy staff/owner, a proper little gem of a place.

Llamado como entrada para comida y bebida. Qué lugar tan encantador, excelentes vistas de la bahía, muy bien establecido de acuerdo con las regulaciones actuales. Es posible sentarse en la terraza, si el tiempo lo permite, lo que hizo el día de nuestra visita.La comida era excelente ya un precio muy razonable y también hay una variedad de bebidas alcohólicas y no alcohólicas para elegir. El restaurante ofrece una selección alternativa de platos filipinos, que no tuvimos tiempo de probar, pero sin duda lo habríamos hecho si hubiéramos tenido la oportunidad de regresar.En resumen, una experiencia de tarde muy agradable en un lugar limpio, luminoso y hospitalario.

Siempre venimos aquí cuando visitamos Grange. Hay una buena selección en el menú, todo está recién hecho y tiene un precio muy razonable. El servicio es bueno y en un buen día, los asientos al aire libre son muy agradables. Recomiendo encarecidamente el Coffee Pot.

Visitamos Coffee Pot más temprano hoy, pedí el desayuno de todo el día, que fue excelente y mi esposa, que es filipina, pidió Adobo de cerdo, un plato de Filipinas. Dijo que era el mejor Adobo que había probado en su vida. El propietario fue muy amable y visitó nuestra mesa para asegurarse de que todo estuviera bien. Precios de gran valor. Regresará. Muy recomendable

Visited the Coffee pot for Breakfast this Morning, ordered two Full Meat and two vegetarian Breakfast, all cooked lovely, so happy that we found a place that does Quorn sausages and Bacon for the vegetarian option. Very friendly staff.

Llamamos aquí hoy para almorzar y descubrimos que la dueña cocina la comida más deliciosa y sorprendente de su lugar de nacimiento en Filipinas. Tuve la carne frita y tengo que decir que nunca he probado nada igual, carne de res cocida a fuego lento verdaderamente deliciosa en el guiso picante, agridulce más increíble. ¡Estoy impresionado! ! ! ¡gracias!

¡El hecho de que no hubiera nadie debería haber sido nuestra señal para correr!Aún así, fuimos a almorzar. Menú vegano muy limitado y las imágenes "encantadoras" son prueba de nuestra experiencia.Patata asada con frijoles extra: vino con un tazón de frijoles horneados, más jugo que frijoles reales.La sopa y el sándwich - sin mantequilla ni margarina en el pan, sin cortar ni nada. "Tres salchichas tiradas entre dos rebanadas de pan", básicamente. . .Servicio al cliente: algo en lo que podrían trabajar: personal grosero en el servicio, personal grosero que traía la comida y los cubiertos se arrojó sobre nuestra mesa. . .

We had a lovely time, staff were friendly and the Covid rules were closely followed but didn't distract from the experience. We enjoyed the food, perhaps a little overpriced for what it was, but as mentioned it was tasty and the views were lovely.

Went for breakfast at the start of out break which was lovely and realised they also did Filipino food, soooooooo worth the return visit! We had the pork bilco and carne fritter, delicious!

Lovely bay views and I would recommend to anyone and had lunch and we sat on the balcony it was lovely the food was excellent and the service was brilliant

Went into the coffeepot expecting the usual fare, only to be tempted by the fantastic, authentic Philippine cuisine. Absolutely delicious, we all enjoyed it. Lovely service and totally dog friendly. Highly recommend this if your in Grange-over-Sands.

We stumbled upon this place after a miserable greeting in the pub next door. Great to find a nice, welcoming spacious cafe that is also very dog friendly. Great choice of food on the menu but I would have to recommend opting for the traditional Filopino dishes on offer. The mung bean stew with rice was just so fresh and hearty, plus perfect for warming you up on a cold, windy day. I also sampled some of my Dad's Pork Adobo dish which was equally delicious. All the food was freshly done to order and piping hot. Excellent choice of cakes as well. The dog was also happy to have some biscuits from the counter, although she would have happily eaten the pork dish as well.Look forward to coming here again.

Popped in for a traditional lunchtime snack and ended up having a delicious national dish. Tasty spicy food served by a delightful lady.

My partner and I were staying at The Commodore Inn, and unfortunately the breakfast there was not up to scratch so we decided to give this place a try. We had two full english’s with a pot of tea and an orange juice. It came to around £22, but it was a great meal with great service. I was able to swap items off of the menu which some places do not allow. Thanks for a nice time and memory! :)

Fue la parada de la calle 1 en nuestro camino hacia la aventura familiar de Lake District. Mi esposo buscó en Google un restaurante al azar con vista al mar, lo que le llamó la atención. Lo más destacado de la cafetería estaba en el menú inesperado con comida tradicional filipina. El chef fue muy útil para tomar una decisión correcta sobre nuestros pedidos. Incluso compartió algunos de sus secretos más profundos de la cocina con nosotros mientras nos entregábamos sabores exóticos caseros. La comida era tan buena que necesitaba volver al lugar unos minutos después. . . . simplemente porque me hizo olvidar y dejar mi bolso colgado en la silla. . . Estoy seguro de que volveremos allí para una agradable comida filipina original muy pronto; )

Went in for a English breakfast and ended up choosing the Filipino menu options. Pork Adobo and Pork Bycol Express are soooo tasty and wholesome. It tasted like homemade food because it is! The manager was lovely and told us more about her cooking and ingredients, we could feel her passion in the food. Never been to Philippines but I believe this dish sold it to me!

Nuestra familia visitó para un almuerzo tardío después de haberlo recorrido vagando por el área local. Nos sorprendió gratamente encontrar opciones tradicionales de comida filipina junto con el menú de cafetería habitual. Opté por el Adobo de cerdo, mi esposo el estofado de frijoles Mung y mi hija la Tapa de ternera. Los tres platos estaban deliciosos, la carne tan tierna que se cayó del tenedor. El servicio al cliente fue ejemplar, nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos y atendidos. ¡Altamente recomendado!

Cena buffet absolutamente hermosa, sopas, curry, verduras, pollo, platos de cerdo, arroz y rollitos de primavera, todos hechos en casa por el propietario y chef filipino, que vino y conversó y nos hizo sentir realmente bienvenidosMi único problema era que no podía caber más, todo era tan agradable.

Paré aquí para tomar té y pasteles. No he visitado aquí durante bastante tiempo y me pareció acogedor y cálido en un día frío. Scones encantadores y frescos pero decepcionados con la mermelada pre empacada pequeña. No es suficiente para cubrir los bollos. La mermelada casera los hubiera hecho perfectos con la encantadora crema coagulada.

Mi compañero y yo vinimos a cenar aquí anoche. Qué lujo. . . deliciosa comida filipina; ¡El pollo al curry era mi favorito personal, mientras que mi compañero no podía mantenerse alejado de los platos de cerdo y chorizo! fabulosa comida y fabuloso servicio. Jona, el dueño, fue acogedor y amable. Volveremos; ¡muy pronto!

From the outside and name this looks like the typical coffee shop of which there are plenty in Grange-over-sands. However we found that whilst it did provide the standard fare there was also excellent Filipino food reasonably priced with good local craft ale. I had pork adobo and my wife mung bean soup.

Visited first with grandchildren who loved their meal and chatting to the friendly and fabulous boss when she had a minute . Later brought my partner who loved the Philippine food . Looking forward to booking in and bringing friends to the Saturday buffet xx

excellent food, plenty of choices from full-English breakfast through to Filipino fine cuisine, really friendly welcome from owner/manager & waitress staff, a place not to be missed.

Turned up for the advertised Saturday ‘Filipino Buffet’ to find it closed. As my wife is a Filipino we persevered and returned on Sunday to book a family table for 8. ‘Filipino people usually greet each other warmly when they meet at different places around the world, but when my wife tried politely to introduce herself briefly to the manager of the Coffee Pot she was told abruptly ‘I’m too busy’. The people of the Philippines are some of the most friendly, but the rudeness of this establishment’s ‘manager’ cost them not just our booking, but also the future custom and support of two local hotel managers in our group.

The traditional English Breakfast type food is exactly as you would expect - hot, tasty and generous. The Filipino food however is something else: absolutely stand out delicious as a party of 9 we tried most things on the Filipino menu and were impressed with all!

Lasst night was a family based night out. There were eight adults and had bookethe meal for 6pm.It was a Filipino buffet style and I must admit I was apprehensive initially, however, there was spring rolls, fish soup. melon,pork, beef and pulled bee all done in a Filipino recipe. It was spicey (not as hot a chinese or Indian). It was absolutely delicious, even enough for doggie bags

Very typical seaside café. Absolutely awesome veggie food as it even has Quorn! Lovely views and accepts dogs. Basic food, not amazingly presented, but good for a quick bite to eat while on the promenade.

A very friendly cafe where nothing is too much trouble. Lovely food and views over the bay, just stunning.

Had breakfast for 2 days did me a gluten free breakfast very helpful no trouble

Very friendly, good drinks and a wide range of food overlooking the estuary with a small balcony seating area.
