The Country Coffee Shop in Eden

Looked like a proper cafe from the outside, wasn’t disappointed Quiet, clean, friendly staff. Nice coffee, ordered a bacon roll, not stingy on the bacon Full breakfast for hubby Very nice indeed

I've been going to this delightful cafe for the last two years. There are plenty of cafes in Penrith but I still think this is the best. It is tucked out of the way so is easily missed by the visitor but is worth seeking out. Always good coffee (locally roasted) and food and good value. Bacon roll with sourdough is my favourite.

I popped in for a late lunch as the place looked inviting from the outside. I ordered a bacon sandwich with hash browns and it was tasty and filling. The service was quite quick and the staff were really friendly. I then had a Mars cake after which was also nice. I will pop back for a bite to eat again when I’m next visiting the area. One of my favourite little cafes 🙂

There are a lot of much better cafés in Penrith than this one. It used to be good when it was the Country Coffee Shop, but sadly it is no more.

We both had jacket potato with tuna mayo. It was more Mayo with a dash of tuna really and a small amount. The potato had been microwave burnt on the bottom of the skin.

WOULD 100% RECOMMEND!! This cafe is such a lovely place to be, all the staff are so welcoming and friendly. The food and drink is very accommodating to people with allergies such as lactose free and soya milk. Beautiful cakes including vegan ones and great value.

Came to Penrith with family for an afternoon out, and stumbled across this lovely cafe. Very friendly and welcoming staff, a relaxed atmosphere, spotlessly clean. We had quiche and salad, drinks and dessert. Quiche was lovely with some of the best shortcrust pastry I've tasted. All home made, reasonably priced and good quality. Would definitely visit again.

Visited this lovely café by chance on day out in Penrith, nice clean cafe friendly staff , really good coffee, we had scone jam cream, Bakewell tart and lemon drizzle all delicious definitely recommend, unfortunately don't live nearby but if here again in the future will definitely pay a visit.

We had a panini, soup and cake. Nice produce, tasty and good value for money. Coffee was also good and service was very friendly. We have a 6 month baby and found the toilet and changing facilities very clean and accommodating. Strongly recommend and will return next time we visit.

Popped in for a quick drink and snacks. The scones were very nice with the service very good . Looked to be a lively seating area upstairs which must get used when busy

I ordered a coffee and a bacon sandwich at 12.20 At 10 past 1, I began to eat the serviette !!. Two couples in front of me were still waiting for food. I asked to pay for my coffee and left the building after voicing by disappointment. They said they were short staffed but kept taking customers in by the coach load. Greed before customer service.

Really disapointed on my visit, having been before was looking forward to it, but we waited and hour and a quarter for food to arrive, we'd drunk our hot drinks and food not as good as previous. Don't like to complain but when i did i dint even get an apology, very disapointed afraid wont be back.

Very good coffee in a big cup and not expensive. Good food. Light and airy inside. I'm not too keen on plastic table cloths but these are quite common in the area. Doesn't detract from the cafe though.

Quand nous allons en Ecosse, nous nous arrêtons toujours pour prendre notre breakfast dans cet endroit. Nous y sommes dès l'ouverture à 10h ! C'est propre, bien cuisiné et le personnel est très aimable. Parfois c'est un peu long mais cela est normal pour avoir de la bonne cuisiné !

Lovely cafe. Great coffee and good food. Staff are very attentive and polite. The milkshakes were very impressive. Highly recommend ☕️👍🏻

Looked inviting went in, and within minutes almost full. Service with a smile, even though really busy and short staffed. Nothing was too much trouble,really good place to visit.

Lovely friendly cafe in the centre of Penrith. The tables are well spaced out and the atmosphere good. We had the scones which were large and very fresh. Very good coffee and hot chocolate. Child friendly.

A lovely clean, bright coffee shop. Great home made scones and cakes, would recomend the Cheese scone 10 out of 10! Great coffee. A friendly homely welcome. Good spacing of tables, covid precautions in place.

A brief stop on a rainy day in Penrith. Excellent warm home made scone with jam and cream and a hot pot of tea. A fresh sandwich to take away too. Tables well spaced and cleaned after every customer. Great coffee. Very friendly service. We...

The cake was delicious and plenty of it, All COV19 safe and very polite staff. Definitely a hidden local gem

Whilst travelling from east Yorkshire to Dumfries and Galloway we stopped here for lunch as we have done for many years. Parking is easy at the Sainsbury's so it's a short 4 minute walk through the "squares". It's got a proper little tea room look & feel. We usually don't have any problems finding a table. The place always looks clean and there's never tables with dirty crockery from previous customers as the staff are very attentive, courteous, and polite. I had a bacon roll which was just right, bacon was like farm shop quality and perfectly cooked. The menu has enough choice for lunch or lite bites, hot and cold sandwiches, soups, toasties, salads, things on toast, cakes etc, as well as hot and cold drinks. We've stopped here for lunch for many years and will continue to do so. Good value, food always good and plentiful. Highly recommended! Note, it closes about 4pm

Arrived here at 3pm on the way to Castle Douglas. It was nearly empty as they close at 4pm. We ordered a light snack of toasted teacakes with blackcurrant jam and a pot of tea. Service was polite and efficient, teacakes were delicious and the...

Very welcoming, staff polite & friendly. Not a huge menu but plenty to choose from for lunch on a cold January day! Gluten-free bread available & it was very nice! Both soups were gluten free, I had broccoli & cheddar- very nice. Lovely coffee, cappuccino...

My family and me were lucky to find this cafe and really enjoyed their sandwiches and jacket potatoes.

Quirky, clean and very friendly. A good menu for any time of the day, we had great coffee and cake. The carrot cake and home made scones were delightful, definitely will be a regular stop when in Penrith

Having had a tea room in Paignton Devon we are always on the look out for independent coffee shops to support. Wow what a find this was. Very welcoming, lovely HOT drinks, great cakes and sandwiches. Now that we have moved back to Cumbria this...

Stopped for a quick coffee with the husband and was drawn in by the cake! Brownie was very good and staff very friendly. Place clean and classic cafe. We chose a cafetiere of coffee which is a nice option for a change. I found the...

... coffee shop in Penrith. We visit the UK annually at different times of the year and are always based near Penrith - a town with a great deal to offer. Included in this is the Country Coffee Shop which is a firm favourite with...

Popped in for a coffee and snack. Busy we place. Staff polite and friendly. Table service Nice coffee, mince pie and caramel shortcaje

One of the best breakfasts ever. Wonderful Cumberland sausage and home made baked beans were to die for. Very welcoming and friendly service. Highly recommended.

Lunchtime and the place was busy on a rainy day. Seated upstairs, quickly served and our meals were very tasty. Service was pleasant and the bill was modest so all good.

What a discovery! Mars bar scones cooked on the premises were the best we have ever had. Aďd to that the first class friendly service and an atmosphere that Starbucks could only dream of. The result is a little gem of a café that is...

We really can’t fault this little cafe in Penrith. After walking around the town in search of somewhere nice, we settled on the Country Coffee Shop for a coffee and a sandwich. We were promptly served by a friendly waitress, which was quickly followed by...

Really nice home made soup, sandwiches are really nicely presented and fresh, good choice on the menu

I had the cream tea which consisted of a pot of tea with a fresh scone, butter, jam and cream. This was delicious. My wife had a slice gluten free coffee cake which she said was very good. Service was excellent.

We hopped off the M6 for breakfast instead of stopping at the services. What a good decision it turned out as the full English breakfast was superb! The bloomer toast was delicious, breakfast delightfully cooked and the staff really friendly and at £7 inc coffee well worth itAlso it helps local businesses so if you are on the M6 it’s 5 mins off it, cheaper and better than the servicesHighly recommended

Penrith was for us a very interesting place to visit. Not as busy as Keswick but pleasantly pretty. Waiting on our train home to Glasgow decided to go for some lunch. The country coffee shop offered a cozy welcome. Tasty soup and toasties served with a warm welcome.Just what we wanted. Good WiFi.

I stumbled on the Country Coffee Shop one Saturday morning. Located on a side street close to a car park and the post office. The place was reasonably busy, but was able to get a table without any issues. Staff were warm and welcoming.I opted for homemade beans with toast, bacon and mushrooms. I didn't have to wait too long for it too arrive, knowing that it was being made to order. Piping hot, full of flavour, one clean plate. I opted for orange juice, which was out of a carton. Fresh squeezed would have been perfect.Pricing is in line with the other coffee shops and cafes in the town. You cannot go wrong with this place.

Me and my family regularly come here for lunch. It is a lovely cafe with a good, varied menu with something for everyone. The food has always been delicious, with good portion sizes. The service is excellent and a trip to this cafe is always looked forward too.

This slightly out of the way coffee shop has Farrah's Kendal coffee and homemade cakes. I expect the hot food is just as good but we just had coffee and cakes. Sensibly priced and genuine, a lovely little place to spend half an hour.

Had a superb lunch. Homemade everything including jam. Soup was exceptional as was the scone of the day (neopolitan). You can get coffee in cafetieres so no more 'it's gone in 2 minutes'.

Have been here a lot latley latest was for breakfast,excellent,great value for money,fast service and friendly staff and atmosphere, great food any time of day

Great little coffee shop with very friendly staff, lots of choices of homemade foods. Great coffee & tea too. The orange & rhubarb jam is very tasty! Well worth a visit when in Penrith 😊

Lovely little cafe, fresh food cooked to order, great full english, with good quality bloomer bread, plus jam or other spreads and a drink with change for £10 even leaving a tip! I always go by the quality of sausage to rate a breakfast and this was 10/10!

Have stopped here for quite a few years now on route to Dumfries and Galloway. It never disappoints, the bacon sandwiches definitely hit the spot.

Stopped in for a coffe on a cold wet morning. Very welcoming and friendly. Good quality food and drink, and well prepared. Thoroughly recommend it.

Have not been here for quite a few years, the decor has changed and possibly the staff but the food is still excellent. I had a ham, cheese and red onion toasty which came with dressed salad, coleslaw, crisps and potato salad, yummy. My partner had a bacon sandwich which was just as good, service was efficient and polite. Will be back when we pass again.

Last year when we were staying in the area whilst on holiday in the UK, we visited this wonderful independent coffee shop so, on our visit this year, it didn't take much thought as to where we could have a drink and a snack ( on three occasions this time!)We weren't disappointed and we believe that this consistency of food quality and service is the strength of this establishment and we couldn't help seeing how busy the cafe was, each time we visited this year.Hot drinks( coffee and hot chocolate) were excellent and the various snacks we bought were also of very good quality. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and, despite being busy, there was no sense of being rushed. Prices are extremely reasonable considering the area.I know I'm repeating what I said last year but independently owned shops are the life blood of town centres and they need supporting. In our opinion, this coffee shop is much superior to the well known "chains" so, citizens of and visitors to Penrith, don't miss out!

A friend and I stopped off mid morning in Penrith looking for somewhere to get a good quality breakfast. We stumbled upon this lovely little gem of a café. Fortunately for us they served breakfast until 11:50.The café is very clean and tidy with plenty of space and different sized tables to suit most small groups.The service was excellent, very polite and efficient. The breakfast was very high quality and the perfect sized potion. The drinks provided were delicious (a pot of tea & a hot chocolate).There were an excellent selection of homemade cakes including speciality scones that sounded delicious. I will defiantly be returning to this café.

We had our lunch here , we have eaten here a few times before , we were disappointed at the menu it seams too have downsized. Limited sandwich and salad choice . There was a nice selection of cakes in the counter fridge.

This cafe is so good I'm writing this before I've finished eating! I visited the Country Coffee Shop with my family while out on the first day of our holiday. Penrith has a good few cafes but as soon as we saw the menu this was definitely the place for lunch. I had loaded wedges with beans and bacon. A good sized portion and piping hot. My wife had chicken salad which had loads of chicken. My daughters had cream of tomato soup and chilli loaded wedges. The food was great, came quickly and was served with a smile. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This cafe is very family friendly. A young Mum came in while we were eating and was given all the help she needed to get in and comfortable. This cafe is well worth a visit.

Excellent coffee and carrot cake with friendly service. We sat downstairs and the tables were all occupied, there is also extra seating upstairs.

Lovely coffee, cakes and lunches at this very friendly Tearoom. Live locally - and it is a favourite place for meeting up with friends and not feel “rushed”!

Excellent cafe serving simple home cooked food . Friendly staff. A lovely start to our holiday. Tucked away slightly in centre of town but walkable from car parks.

We were staying in Penrith in a Travelodge so no breakfast provided on site. we wandered around central Penrith and came across this coffee shop which we were really pleased with. There was a fantastic selection of breakfasts ranging from full English and vegetarian full English down to toast with bacon and mushrooms. The first day I had a vegetarian full breakfast which came with toast, jam, and tea with milk. The second day I had omelette with spinach, mushroom and brie, and the third I had Bacon and mushroom with toast. All very delicious and very filling. I would definitely recommend this cafe unless you are a wheelchair userThere is room downstairs for about 20 diners plus another room upstairs. Unofrtunately the toilets were upstairs and were very small, both of which made if difficult for me to use.

Lovely staff, great quality food, good value. What’s not to like? Soup is very good Ona cold day. Scones are excellent. It serves good coffee with a smile!

Found this great little coffee shop while up here on holiday and visiting Penrith.I must say it was really nice, so nice we went back for a 2nd visit, and believe me I don't go back for a 2nd visit unless it was nice.It has upstairs and downstairs seating, only sat downstairs so i can't say what upstairs was like. Downstairs was just nice, although right at the back was a little tight.Tried the tea, latte and coffee cake and bakewell tart. The cakes are homemade and really nice, the bakewall tart was the best i've tasted.They are really organised. Someone comes to the table and takes the order a different person delivers it to the table. Didn't try and of the meals on these visits, but we'll be certainly back next year and we will possibly try more food then.

I used to go a while ago in 2016 a regular they had ciabatta and baguettes lovely menu back then but went the other day small menu would on loved that stilton ciabatta or a cheese and tomato baguette but no such luck. I wouldn't recommend at this point.

Went here this morning on TripAdvisor reviews and we weren't disappointed. We had the full breakfast,local sausages,bacon and black pudding got us off to a good start then there was the cafes own baked beans,egg, mushroom and fresh tomatoes all with 2 slices of toast homemade jam and tea. We were well and truly full. The cafe itself has a great homely feel, the staff are all friendly and very helpful. Would definitely recommend visiting. We will be back next time we're in Penrith.

We came across this cafe by chance and are so pleased we did. Great range of food. My husband played safe with quiche and salad - I had the slow braised belly pork, served on spring greens with ginger and a chicken consomme. Both were delicious and so was my scone with homemade jam and cream.

We come here whenever we want lunch while in Penrith. Great quality homemade food, decent variety of foods with a standard menu and various specials. Nice coffee, they offer soya milk which is great for those who want a dairy free option, and the staff are friendly, efficient and always accommodating when possible. Good location. Reasonably priced too

Slightly off the beaten track with an eye catching exterior. We arrived too late for hot food but enjoyed a hot chocolate and a fruit scone with what may have been home made jam. A little cramped down stairs however plenty of room above. The menu is a little unusual with some tasty sounding options. Reasonable prices.The WC's don't have free/occupied which can be awkward.

We decided to venture into Penrith whilst staying in Pooley Bridge. We came across the Country Coffee shop near our car park. They were welcoming and able to accommodate a group of 7 desperate for some grub. The staff were friendly and chatty, the food was served promptly, hot, delicious and the children enjoyed theirs as well. I really enjoyed my piece of lemon meringue pie. I am so glad we found this place.

This is my first visit to Country Coffee shop and it is fantastic. My sister and I decided to have a coffee after some retail therapy. The place is lovely and clean, staff very friendly and service very quick. The cakes are to die for. All home made and a great choice of Gluten Free. We were spoilt for choice. Having received our coffee and cakes, we took a closer look at the menu. If we hadn't already started our cakes, we would have had an early lunch. So many delicious, home-made items on the menu, plus they have their Special's Board. I will definitely be going back to try out their savoury items. Give this place a try, you will not be disappointed.

We ordered the celeriac, kale and ham bubble and squeak which was 2 large patties each. Home made and worth travelling for. Finished off with scrumptious chocolate cake and good quality coffee. Friendly and attentive service. Home made 5 star for us!

Came here as a family while passing through Penrith - the breakfast was delicious and we had a lovely time.

I very rarely give bad reviews but this coffee shop really disappointed me. We visited in early September as I was craving beans on toast. When we came to order, my husband and son both ordered their food and I proceeded to ask for beans on toast, to which I was told that I could only have beans on toast if I was under 10 !!!. I explained I would pay more for an adult portion but this was refused. Strange rule. We wont be back.

Arrived and wasn't particularly busy and lots of young girls as staff not doing too much.Sat and waited about 20 mins for someone to come over and take the order..... Seemed this was the lady in charge and she was the only one talking orders. Ordered, a tables of 5 came in and say for about 10 mins without being served, then man came in followed by couple. Couple had their order taken.... Take off 5 still not acknowledged.... Quite rightly they left. About 10 mins later man gets his order followed about 15 mins later the couple. We still waiting. Staff hadn't got a clue.However when the dogs arrived it was very nice.If you don't mind waiting and being forgotten the food is nice and pretty good value for money.Just think they need to re -think how they take orders.

Love to visit here when heading to Scotland. Lovely ,reasonably priced food served by friendly staff. Today's delight was a delicious white chocolate and raspberry scone.Thankyou all,keep up the good work.

We have had to visit Penrith quite a few times the past few weeks.Oh what bliss - that only means one thing for me ! A visit to the country coffee shop.The lemon merengue is to die for, I am addicted and cannot get passed it on the menu.Lovely coffees , non pretentious staff.I love this little cafe.

We stumbled across this cafe when trying to avoid going to a chain place. We were given a warm welcome by the staff, and they were so accommodating helping with high chairs for my one year old. It's a lovely cafe inside, really nicely done. The food was lovely and the scones are excellent. Highly recommend to anyone in the area.

I recently visited Penrith for the day and stopped at the Country Coffee Shop and orded the Full-English-Breakfast for £6.75, with black pudding for an extra 0.75p and I wasn't disapointed.Very good service and an excellent start to my day, I had been here previously in December 2010 for the works Christmas party for Carlisle Eden Mind but I was really impressed that they have not only kept up the quality of the food but have actually improved.Thanks to everyone for making my day so enjoyable.

Good table service. Nice coffee (a cup was larger than the usual size). The scones and tea cakes came with a lovely homemade strawberry jam. Good value for money. Great find.

We often call in for a coffee and scone. They have the best scones in Penrith. Plenty of choice for light lunch, morning and afternoon teas and coffee. Homely service with plenty of parking nearby.

We came here well after 3 pm one day and had an excellent sandwich lunch followed by a scone. We didn't feel rushed even though closing time was approaching and extra hot water for our tea was delivered without fuss. Good service and food.

On our last day in Penrith we went here for breakfast. We had porridge and toast with drinks and all were excellent This looked like a local meeting point with regulars. The staff were friendly and really enjoyed the meal and comfortable surroundings

Called in for lunch for a first visit. It was a Hot day, I know its Cumbria but yes, it was a very hot day! I had an iced coffee which was strong and refreshing. Food was well presented and not too long a wait. Service was friendly and polite. Just what I expect wherever I go. Yes I would return again.

Lovely food and friendly welcome. This is a smaĺl local cafe with a quant and homely atmosphere. Prices are good and choice and quality are fine.

Wonderful little cafe that does sandwiches, toasties and roast potato among other things. Was a gem to find as I'd wandered around the town looking for a decent place to eat. There's also very nice seating upstairs. Had the roast spuds with baked beans which came with salad and coleslaw on the side. Filling and delicious. Great value.

We popped in for a quick lunch & found the place very busy with a cross-section of customers. The food was both nourishing & attractively presented, the service quick & efficient.

Had a business meeting in Friargate but was my first time to Penrith and did not know the town at all. Stumbled on this little coffee/sandwich shop as it was right next to the car park I had found. I had an hour to eat and get to my meeting so the service needed to be quick and efficient, which it was. I had a cheddar and Apple chutney granary sandwich with a pot of tea. Both were delish! And the sandwich came with coleslaw, side salad and Doritos.Deceptively spacious as there is an upstairs. Would recommend for a quick bite to eat.

As we was wandering around Penrith, we walked past and as it was raining, we stopped in for a coffee. We found a table and was walking to the counter when a staff member said she would come over which was very nice. We ordered two coffees and two milkshakes. They were all really nice and we really enjoyed our visit. Felt welcome as soon as we walked through the door. Thank you.

I came here the other week with my friends as requested by them , we came into what looked a warm friendly place but were greeted by a rude teen girl . We asked where to sit and she abruptly said anywhere . The table hadn't been cleared from beforehand so we asked if it could be wiped she came back ten minutes later leaving the table still wet . The coffee was cold but the food was better . Wouldn't come back again as staff rude put us off

My husband and I had lunch here today. Excellent service and food. Very pleasant place to stop off on our journey to Scotland. Much better than stopping at Services!

Lovely place! No commercial, charming Coffee Shop with delicious food! It is a gem in the middle of "Modern" and unworth places to visit. Just fell in love with this place!!!

We called in for a small bite to eat & a drink. The service was good & the food very tasty. The tea & coffee were decent & priced well too

Having found this cafe to be well reviewed we called in on our way past Penrith. The cafe looked welcoming and when we went in we got the last free table. The staff were busy so it took a few minutes for them to take our order and to pay at the end, but the food and drinks were hot and served with a smile. The toilets were also busy and we're upstairs, but were clean, although one had a loose seat - a bit of a pet hate for some!

We much prefer independent coffee shops and like to support them whenever possible. We find they provide a better service and higher quality food and drink at more reasonable prices. We hadn't been to the Country Coffee Shop before but we were very impressed on our first visit so much so when we were in Penrith a few days later, it wasn't difficult to decide where to have a warming drink and snack. Although we didn't have a cooked meal, ones that were prepared for other customers certainly looked tempting! There's a good range of hot and cold drinks available along with home made cakes etc. don't be put off if the cafe looks full downstairs as there is more seating on the first floor. Service is quick and friendly and it's certainly a good place to relax over a coffee and let the stresses of the day pass you by! Prices are very reasonable and this little cafe is highly recommended.

we had a lovely lunch here, great service, there is so much to chose from on this menu. i had the bacon scone with sweet chilli and cream cheese- fantastic.

On a short stay in Penrith we came across this place, initially just wanted a coffee. We were warmly welcomed and guided upstairs to our table, the place was almost full which was a great sign. Very impressed with the menu offering a wide selection, so as well as coffee my partner had a prawn mare rose sandwich and I had a 'carrot hummus' sandwich which was awesome! on our choice of breads.The operation is very smooth and we were served our food quickly and attended to regularly. The premises are simply decorated and clean, as are the toilets.This place is deceptive from the outside as looks very small, almost passed it by, glad I didn't!My mother was in the hotel and catering industry for 50 years (some would say fussy), I would take her here anytime as this little gem has got it right.Thank you!

Visited with friends for breakfast while on holiday. We all had bacon and Cumberland sausage sandwiches. Fabulous tasty and full sandwiches on granary bloomer, served hot. Great service and with a smile. If you are in town eat here.

During our long stay in Penrith we found this gem of a coffee shop and used it as the 'Place of Choice' for the entire stay; using it for casual coffee and lunch. Great food, service and friendly staff. The Country Coffee Shop is a real gem and highly recommended. Great Wi-Fi also available.

We visited on Thursday afternoon for coffee and cake and were so pleased with the place that we went back the following morning for the huge breakfast. Absolutely great little cafe ,lovely food, but most of all a nice atmosphere.The staff know there regulars by name and even said lovely to see you again. And thanks for coming in.Simple manners and a warm greeting are totally free here.

Went there is morning and got to the bottom of a full breakfast and found along hair in my food underneath a rasher of bacon. My family member decided to pay for it regardless not to cause 'a scene'. However, when I mentioned this to the owner she simply exclaimed "I don't know how it got there". I don't know either but it wasn't from me (a man with short hair!). We were offered a couple of scones as a gesture but a more appropriate action would be to remove the charge of the breakfast. If i had been on my own I wouldn't have been paying for it full stop. Often the sign of a good place is how the deal with issues and in this case it wasn't well. Next time I'm visiting family I'll go elsewhere - clearly repeat business is not a business priority here!A shame as the quality of the food was good until that point.

Nice little coffee shop which sells good food and cakes and so on. We only had realised and coffee but the food that was coming from the kitchen looked really nice. This place is tucked away so don't expect much in the way of people watching. Nice though

We found a carpark and here this was. Couldn't have done better. Both Big Breakfast and poached eggs were very good. Very nice plunger coffee, toast and marmalade. Lovely friendly service.

Eat here on a regular basis food lovely, staff very friendly cakes are to die for! Ok for vegetarians too and no chips!

It's easy to see why this Cafe is highly recommended! Good food fresh and local produce too. Scones to die for and service was very friendly!

I needed some food mid afternoon - 3.00 to be precise. I looked at another café across the car park but they had stopped serving food! Fortunately the Country Coffee shop was still serving. I had delicious roasted red pepper and courgette soup and a soft bread roll. Staff were friendly.

What a busy wee place, but the welcome was warm and the service fast. We only wanted coffee and cakes (and what a fantastic selection they had) but they had no problem with this even though it was lunchtime. The lemon drizzle cake was feather light and just the right level of lemony sharpness, by far the best I've ever tried. The scones were really good and huge, their special one, strawberry and banana was delicious. A more generous portion of butter would of been nice but I'm sure if I'd asked they would of obliged. Their millionaires shortcake was super sweet and chocolatey with just the right amount of fudgy toffee in the middle, Heaven on a plate.The coffee was good and it was nice to be offered instant or a cafetiere for the decaff. The whole place was clean and the staff helpful, well worth a wee detour to break a long journey.
