The Lambton Larder in Derbyshire Dales

This is easily the place with the best coffee and pastries in town. In addition they have an amazing deli range of produce. We have always found the team welcoming and friendly and willing to help in any way they can. Unmissable!

I echo the the review from Jan 24 where I agree the food is very good but despite going in regularly when in Bakewell I never feel it is a friendly atmosphere or feel valued. The owner needs to value all customers. Not even a goodbye when you leave having spent money there.

The coffee is good and I love the almond croissant, but I never feel very welcome when I go here. I get a lukewarm hello and don't feel like my custom is welcome.

I love this place. So cosy and friendly with the best bread, pasta, salads, cheeses, paninis and loads of other delicious treats. I don't drink coffee but everyone I know says it's the best coffee for miles. I highly recommend! :-)

My first visit & really impressed. The coffee & cake was stunning. Would highly recommend a visit. I definitely will be coming back.

Think twice about visiting on a Thursday - extremely miserable lady serving, no soup, no salad, no coleslaw and when we asked for Panninis was told there would be at least a 20 minimum wait (there were only another couple in the shop) this was at lunch time - would not recommend

Superb coffee together with freshly baked cake and bread. It's only small and does sell out of popular items so if you want a freshly baked sourdough loaf book in advance.

Awesome food, great service and lovely coffee! We had a lovely Sunday brunch after wandering around Bakewell! The food was fantastic (steak pie, pork and apple sausage roll and mozzarella/tomato/pesto sandwich). Both the staff were lovely and very helpful. Would 100% come back and recommend to anyone in need of a light bite or good coffee.

The Lambton Larder is an oasis of yum for foodies and all. Unbelievable cheeses, bread and sorted yummies await you. The place is well appointed with so many local and locally made things . Even eggs for our stay were there.

I love Lambton Larder - definitely the best deli and coffee in town. A fantastic selection of artisan breads and croissants and their cake counter is a sight for sore eyes! Cheese and charcuterie is great to pick up for picnics. Fab coffee from Buxton roasters to have in or takeaway. And all that topped with super-friendly service. A must visit if you are in Bakewell.

Definitely the best coffee in Bakewell, plus a great range of croissants, buns etc. It’s become our morning ritual whilst staying in the town. My wife is a real coffee fanatic and raves about the coffee. I love eyeing up all the deli produce - cheeses, breads, sauces, oils, etc etc - as we sit at one of the two breakfast bars. There are also two tables outside which are great when the sun is shining (which it has done all this week). And of course, a big shout out for the super friendly and very helpful lady who runs The Lambton Larder…. Thank you.

On the main road from the North but invisible from the main square, this small deli does cafe type food to a very high standard. Only 3 bar stools inside but there are small pavement tables. Great to watch the world go by. Not cheap but the quality makes it good value for money. Delightful staff. Pies are exceptional. Ciabatta panini was a special and was stunning. Superb ingredients with attention to detail. Interesting selection of unusual British cheeses. Treat yourself!

Great coffee and pastries, the only place within Bakewell we could find pastries. And knows how to do a real flat white!

Our annual holiday was made by finding this little gem of a deli. Great coffee, lovely pastries and a wide variety of local deli products all served with local kindness. Make an effort to pop in prior to nipping next door for a drink at the Joiners Arms or vice versa! 😉

Delicious! We come here every time we visit bakewell. Never disappointed. Baked goods are wonderful. Excellent friendly service too

A really lovely little local bakery and deli. The pies are incredible, sandwiches looked lovely but didn’t try. Really excellent quality food and friendly service. There are 2 tables outside, but it is on a road.

The best coffee in Bakewell. Always full of tasty treats and lovely fresh sandwiches. Perfect for gifts as well, with lots of interesting and unusual deli options to make up hampers with. A must visit!

It was worth to cycle to Bakewell from Lake District. Had the best cappuccino and Bakewell tart. Thank you Alice.

Lovely coffee and cosy atmosphere.Well worth a stop by if you’re in Bakewell town.The flat white was delicious I had to have two!

Great service, friendly and great coffee. On a busy market day, sitting and relaxing with a hot coffee was perfect.

Sat in to have a cup of coffee and croissant. Both were excellent - a relaxing way to begin the day before a walk. Went back the next day to get takeout coffee and grabbed a cheesy pie to snack on for the journey back.

Fabulous croissants, pastries and bread. Coffee not bad either! Well worth the extra 1 minute walk from the town centre.

My husband and I were on our way to Sheffield for Weekend and decided to stop in Bakewell on the way. We had not been to Bakewell for 25 years and noticed a few changes. We walked around Bakwell looking for a coffee and came across the Lambton Larder by chance. Staff were really nice and helpful and would go back again and defo let people know about it. If you are looking for ciabatta and artisan bread, coffee this is the place to go

We stopped here for a quick bite to eat and a coffee. The paninis were sizeable and we were able to share them between ourselves. The coffee was fabulous - they had oat milk which was a massive bonus!There’s also lots of lovely foodie products and produce to buy if you’re looking for a gift or something unique for your kitchen.

Away from the centre of Bakewell is this little gem of a deli. Tasty hot chocolate and introduced my Dad to the delights of the little Italian pistachio pastries. If we are in the area we’ll be back!

If you like eating then get yourself to the Lambton larder! Best spot in Bakewell for lunch and coffee, best salads (oh my god the quinoa salad), yummy sarnies and soups. Great range of products on the shelves for cooking delicious and authentic food at home, and local bread and pastries. The kind of shop that every town needs.

I was meant to be making fresh pesto for tea, but my plans went awry and the lovely, helpful chap at The Lambton Larder saved the day by recommending their delicious pesto. I could have passed it off as my own homemade, as it was just as good, but I did fess up. Thank you!

A previous reviewer praised the ginger and lime cake, and they were not wrong.My partner also heaps praise on the salad mixes.For me, it is the quality of the coffee and its preparation.It is a great deli with a limited amount of on site seating if you don't want to take away.

2nd visit, service excellent both times. Friendly staff, and the most amazing homemade ginger and lime cake!

A deli with a difference. Just a couple of tables. We had lovely fresh ciabatta rolls filled with Brie, avocado and tomato, excellent coffee and slices of Bakewell tart. The service was friendly and swift and we sat watching the world go by without feeling rushed. Will definitely be back next time we visit Bakewell.

Fabulous coffee and the best pastries this side of Paris! Plus a great selection of local foods including Caldwell’s flours. A lovely spot to indulge while passing through Bakewell.

Fantastic coffee and cakes and a lovey selection of deli treats. Great customer service! Best coffee in Bakewell!

This is fast becoming a favourite when I visit Bakewell. Service with a smile, recycled cups and tremendous coffee. The cakes are fantastic and they also have interesting pasta and condiments.

We popped in today to get a couple of sarnies to eat in the craft beer pub next door. They were delicious and well worth the money. Great, friendly service too xxx

A great little shop! The range and quality of stock is fab and, as an added bonus, you can also have lunch or just pop in for a coffee.

Hidden around a corner from the centre of town, this place is an absolute gem. Brilliant service from someone with a real interest in food. Everything was so fresh and delicious. We will return.

Came in for coffee left with lasting happy memories. Will be back next time we’re in town. Nice air temp inside as well.

The best deli i have been to.great tea,coffie, cakes and very freindly service. Also good for light lunches

We stopped off here for a cheese and ham panini for breakfast - it was so good we are back again for takeaway picnic paninis! A great little find - cheese, salads, pastas, deli items galore! Coffee is good too!

Really good food. And great customer service. Had a lovely crossiant and coffee before a lovely walk around the town!

We stopped here for coffee and croissant- and it’s the best coffee we’ve had in our week here. There are also pies, breads and cakes and coffee beans and other lovely things to buy.

We happened upon this lovely deli while wandering around the beautiful town of Bakewell and had a lovely lunch. Great music and a homely atmosphere this place is a must go!

As a local it’s rare to find somewhere we haven’t tried. We had a great lunch there and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommended.

We stopped by on a fleeting visit to Bakewell, we had two stunning coffees a really fresh salad, incredibly nice sandwiches and naturally a Bakewell slice. The two staff members were both so friendly. Great selection of unusual goodies on sale too.

A wonderful place in Bakewell for great fresh food & coffee... I regularly visit for takeaway latte. Their hot paninis are delicious too!

We popped in for a brief bite to eat for lunch and ended up also buying ingredients for dinner! The beef pie and black pudding scotch egg were fantastic, as was the goats cheese panini, all washed down with the best coffee in Bakewell. We will definitely be back for more.

This is such a lovely little place, a real find in the chaos of Bakewell. The food is all locally sourced and the cakes are to die for! As for the staff, you couldn't get a more welcoming atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

On the second day we discovered this fantastic little Deli, It is owned by two young people committed to sourcing locally produced food. The sandwiches and coffee are amazing. We stocked up on amazing cheeses and delicious things for snacks and cooking in our lovely holiday cottage. We went back regularly, it was great to chat with the owners over their excellent coffee, who were helpful and informative both about their produce, and good places to walk.

We decided to get off the beaten track today on a Mad Monday Market Day. It was absolutely thronged and it was so nice to pop round the corner on Buxton Road and sit inside. We had a very nice sandwich each and coffees. However, we would have liked the Americano to be a little stronger than it was and didn't fancy paying an extra 40p for another shot! We thought the food was reasonable, certainly not as expensive as some of the other cafes in Bakewell and there was a different range of food available.

What a wonderful little cafe so glad we stopped here. The chap that grated and served us was pleasent and really made us feel welcome even when we just wanted to chat about the special foods he sells. Loved it here and I know you will.

Coffee is brilliant, had a delicious cheddar salami and chili jam panini. Lovely staff and loads of great produce. Top marks, highly recommended!

Recommended to visit this deli & wasn't disappointed. A perfect flat white-I am a coffee snob & the homemade soup was delicious. Lovely local food to buy. Owners were very friendly & helpful. Can't wait to return.

So great that the deli has been brought back to life by these young enthusiasts. Great food. Love the locally grown mushrooms. Look forward to trying something new each time I return!

Great little addition to Bakewell. Have visited a few times now, never disappointed with the food I order. Always see something to take home. The best scotch egg and salad I’ve ever eaten - and the broccoli and Stilton soup was excellent. All freshly cooked from local produce. Alice and Blake make the experience with their warm and friendly personalities. Give it a go next time you’re in Bakewell - you’ll always find something to tempt you!

'Perfect' sums up this little gem! Owners delightful, very welcoming! Food and drinks top quality and delicious! Will definitely dine here again!

Popped in to buy some cheese. Found many lovely local foods to buy! They have a wide choice of fresh and packaged produce including some local oak smoked rapeseed oil which is delicious.

Every item in this deli seems to have been picked with considerable care. The fresh produce is locally sourced and amazing, (I’ve tried eggs, cheese, and some of the best mushrooms I’ve ever tasted!) and the coffee is spectacular. I really can’t exaggerate how good the coffee is. I’ve had a wonderful week in Bakewell and the coffee from the Lambton Larder is the thing I’ll miss the most.

Went here to get a sandwich ended up eating in, cost £5;had a couple of tables and stools at counter. Flexible with sandwich filling, the bread was lovely. Also had soup which was homemade and tasty cost £3

I had a sandwich which I thought was very expensive and not good value for money. There is not much choice and everything seems very pricey. Unfortunately I don't think I will go back. Other people that I know that have been in agree it is overpriced and not enough choice and people are saying they will not go back. There are a lot of places in Bakewell where you can pick up good quality items for lunch at half the price.

We visit the Lambton Larder frequently. We've popped in for coffee & cake as well as lunches and can honestly say the food and hot drinks are top notch, whether it be a Panini, sandwich or delicious homemade soup. Called in today and no soup..... but there was vegetable chilli, which hit the spot and was scrumptious.

We visited this lovely Deli in December, we were spoilt for choice! Scrumptious looking pies, salads and cakes, plus loads of choice in store cupboard Deli items. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and patient with our excited children too. We visit Bakewell a lot and will make sure we head there every time.

I have been here a few times now and I have something different each time, everything is delicious and made with top quality ingredients. The pies are tasty, well filled and locally sourced. The paninis are made with quality ingredients and the rolls filled to capacity. They also do homemade soup and the best coffee in Bakewell. You will not regret visiting here and the array of stock will tempt you. Local food, local people- just fabulous.

We visited this little gem as we were Christmas shopping. We were drawn in by the smells emitting from the Larder. We had a toasted sandwich and a coffee, both of which were delicious. The staff were very knowledgable about the produce available for sale. I was particularly impressed by the choice of cheeses. I can’t wait to revisit the Larder for more goodies. If you’re in the area give it a try. I can assure you you won’t be disappointed.

This place is gorgeous. With a daily variety of beautiful sandwiches, paninis and fantastic soups this place is a great choice for a tasty dinner. There are a great selection of products to buy as gifts or take home to enjoy yourself - the pies are amazing! Can't wait to visit again to try something new!

Would definitely recommend a visit, nipped in to grab a coffee and left with some delicious focaccia bread to put with our cheese board! I will be returning to pick up some of their sweet treats! Friendly and helpful service!

Would 100% recommend popping by if you're in the Bakewell area. Super service and the munch was top notch.

This is a delightful and welcoming deli offering a wide range of delicious food to go and high quality store cupboard items to take home and cook with. The bread is some of the tastiest I have ever had - it’s a shame I live in London, otherwise I’d be popping in here every day! There is a real emphasis on stocking products from local suppliers which I love. And the staff are super friendly, helpful, and passionate foodies! Can’t recommend this place enough.

Delicious sandwich and one of the best coffees I’ve ever had. Lots of unusual treats. Favourite being the raspberry meringue bar. If you’re looking for somewhere to eat or purchase wonderful tasting food I thoroughly recommend the Lambton Larder.
