The Crosby Snack Shed & The Crosby Cake Cupboard in Copeland

Really tasty home made sweet treats. We bought a apple crumble slice and a blonde. Both tasted fantastic. Definitely worth a stop if you are driving by it

Sounded great. Made a (shortish) detour to visit. Cupboard by roadside with maybe a dozen items of stock availbale but no sign of a shed or a hot drink on a Monday morning in late February (for the record, beautiful sunny morning). No indication of opening hours, seasonal or otherwise, at site or online (that I could see/find). Trip Advisor suggested was open. Next time we are passing maybe.

On the way home to Suffolk the Husband bought back a salted caramel flapjack and malteser tiffin! These were amazing especially the salted caramel flapjack… the best flapjack I have had…

Incredible homemade cakes at really good value prices, in a lovely peaceful setting. A must stop stop-off for a quick rest and some refreshments.

Pass this place regularly but I'm very early or late and closed, the food is superb, ham sandwich like my Mum used to make, beautiful carved, not wafer thin. Cumberland Sausage next time I think! Worth bobbing in

In the middle of nowhere, it's an OMG moment, if your lost 🙈! A small place that sells everything you would expect, bacon, sausage, sandwiches, cakes, hot and cold drinks. Immaculate and clean. Toilet! Friendly service and the lovely Holly, who is so helpful.

the cakes are excellent and the coffee is excellent, and it's slightly cheaper than other places I visit on the bike, despite being in the middle of nowhere!

Stopped at this great little place on a day out in the car. What a fantastic find! Large car park with seating next to a running stream. Staff were very friendly. Lovely cuppa and amazing Lemon Drizzle cake that was very tangy. Absolutely awesome. Will definitely be returning.

A regular stop on our bikes, can't fault any of the food. Cakes are excellent and friendly staff. A really peaceful spot to sit and relax.

we weren’t actually planning to stop here. We woke up late and had to check out of our cottage so didn’t have time for our morning cup of tea. When we saw this sign, we stopped and had a tea and cofee along with an amazing selection of home made cakes 🍰. Will definitely come here again, lovely people and service with lots of seating a lovely stream.

We found this in the middle of nowhere and it was an excellent stop. Everything made fresh and the bread was so soft and fresh. Would recommend to anyone passing by as an excellent option. Prices were reasonable as well.

We visited out of hours, so were treated to the Snack Cupboard. What a brilliant idea of rural diversification providing 24x7 snacks to weary travellers. We drove, but if I’d cycled up any of the hills to get there I’d be really pleased to see this. A brilliant range of cakes and drinks available with payment via an honesty box. The Malteser tiffin was awesome

Beautiful spot in the middle of the countryside, fabulous views, great outdoor seating, coffe lovely and the cakes are scrumptious. Very friendly service, highly recommended!

Delicious cakes and coffee and what a beautiful spot to sit and eat them. We were lucky enough to stop and be able to sit in the sun and enjoy the beautiful view and riverside - highly recommend this little cafe

Found this when driving over to Eskdale for some mountain biking. Stunning drive over the moor, and then stopped here during a rainstorm. The cakes were amazing! Coffee pretty good too. Will make sure we include this on our next ride. A gem

Driving back home after 6 hours walking on the fells above Wasdale and Eskdale, this is an oasis. A place to pause, rest, and enjoy excellent coffee and cake before continuing on my way. In the middle of absolutely nowhere - a great surprise as...

Great coffee and snacks, enjoyed a freshly made bacon and egg brown bap. Perfect view, seating (and even free parking if you’ve not cycled up!). Very friendly and top service. Thanks

Serendipity brought us past this place just as we wondering where we could get lunch. The setting is very picturesque and the food is generous and delicious. We got brie and red onion chutney sandwiches, which were yummy, but it was the delicious mini egg...

Very rude and abrupt owner. I had broken down nearby and hitched a lift here. The owner was as helpful as Boris Johnson to a refugee. She would let us use her WiFi or a phone to call assistance, and even accused us for stopping...

Whilst I understand they aren’t Tourist Information, being in the middle of nowhere with no signal for 10 miles you’d think there’d be a community spirit. Never stop here and ask for assistance as you won’t get any. What you’ll get is sarcasm, rudeness and...

We stopped here on our road trip. We had 2 cans of fizzy drink and were charged £2.50 each. Coke sized cans. The woman serving didn’t even flinch when telling us the price!! Total rip off. Give this place a miss!!!

Passed this on our way to HardKnott Pass and had to stop, had the most delicious cheese and tuna toasted baguette and there was an amazing selection of cakes and coffees. The scenery is so calming and would happily have sat there all day!

This is a coffee oasis in a gorgeous hills, stream and blue ( sometimes ) sky location. Absolute must visit the honesty box as it’s stuffed with cake. Coffee shed has really nice staff with plenty chat. Lovely brook/stream and seating area ( outdoor only...

On the road from Eskdale to Broughton mills via Ulpha - its worth doing the drive even if you are not going that way as it is incredibly scenic and very unbusy. The coffee here is exceptionally good - not something you say very often...

I was so glad to see this place lol. Still no idea where it actually is but if you see it stop and have a coffee or sandwich by the beck and try to work outwhere exactly you are. Good coffee, decent sandwich. There's a...

We only stopped for some free range eggs, and are still not quite sure how the carrot cake came along as well when we left! Having just eaten half of the latter, we thought about going and asking for our money back.....but as we will...

Just about the right time for lunch and in middle of nowhere this place came into view. Simple tea and proper ham sandwich in decent bread. All that we needed

This is a little pocket of heaven in a heavenly place! The welcome is always great and the food even better. A huge array of cakes all home baked on the farm with traditional recipes as well as modern twists. We always stop for the...

astoundingly this is a wooden hut set in the most idyllic location on the top of a fell by the side of a mountain stream. even benches to sit at. idyllic even when it was a grey day! best coffee by far after a week...

Do not drive past or you will miss the best homemade cakes and hot coffee. Cannot recommend enough. Particularly the almond and cherry flapjack.

We happened across the Crosby snack shed on the magnificent High Road to Ulpha. It has a great view, good cake and sells eggs, though sadly we were too late for the latter today. Don't zoom past it, the shed is set back a little...

Even on a windy rainy day, the setting and approach was beautiful. We were too late for the shed, but we bought some cakes from the wonderful cake cupboard. We ended up buying quite a few cakes as they looked amazing. The cakes were even...

Stopped here on the way home from Eskdale. Top food, gorgeous cakes and stunning scenery. What more could you ask for.

A great place to stop off for a cup of tea whilst exploring the West lakes. The cakes are great and the backdrop bueatiful. There is plenty of parking next to the shack and the sound of the beck is quite soothing whilst drinking tea.

Wonderful little place in a beautiful location. Serves delicious food and drink and the cake cupboard is also a fantastic treat! Friendly lady serving and fantastic views 😋

Good Cup of tea and very tasty ham sandwich, just what the traveller needs traversing the quieter side of the lake district. Park benches and a babbling allow you to soak up the Fell.

Lovely lady. Great brownies. Gorgeous location. Well worth a visit when passing - don’t be fooled by its shed-like appearance.

This little shack is in a remote location but well worth a visit. we stopped off for a quick drink with the children who had a paddle in the stream while we had a drink. the car park is only small but well laid out,...

A lovely little surprise place at the top of the fell. Cheery service, good coffee and excellent ginger bread. View’s not bad either!

Fantastically positioned on the route from Coniston to Hardknott and Wrynose for an espresso, water, or cake to refuel before hitting the cruel climbs! Really great coffee, homemade cakes, and a friendly welcome. A lovely place to make a brief and welcome pit stop on...
