The Old Post Office Tea Room in South Lakeland

A great place to eat! Staying with family nearby with babies and vegans- they cater for everyone! Nothing is too much for them. The food, service and the staff are fantastic My stepfather said their sausage and chili jam sandwich ‘goes down in history as the best!’ They even do scones cream and jam to go!

What lovely people and great coffee. A must visit if you’re walking in the area. Friendly efficient and great staff. And dog friendly.

This was our third visit to this tea room in recent trips to the Lake District. The Lovely friendly service and an excellent coffee & flapjack made a great stopover on our walk.

Fabulous welcome and tasty full English breakfast and bacon,egg on ciabatta May need to book the cooked breakfast on certain days. The soup and cheese scone are also highly recommended

What a fab cosy friendly tea room with delicious food and a lovely cuppa . Just what we needed after a walk in The Lakes ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎂🎂

This cafe goes from strenght to strength. Lovely cosy atmosphere. Friendly staff. Efficient service. One of the best scones and cups of coffee ive had for a very very long time.

Great coffee, cake and ice cream visit. Everything we saw delivered to other people looked great, we regretted having had breakfast already. Lovely staff. Beautiful location, and handy when visiting Townsend.

Great place. Warm and friendly, good selection of drinks and snacks. Brilliant find after walking Wansfell. Fabulous.

Such a delightful tea room in the heart of the Lake District. An ideal half way point on our walk from Ambleside. The staff are always very friendly and service is impeccable. Only had drinks but the food looked delicious (and from the comments other visitors were making, it tasted it as well).

Such a gorgeous little find after a long day in the fells. Had the most gorgeous ice cream along with drinks. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Will most definitely be back!

Lovely family run spot. Food was very good and service friendly. Be warned it gets packed! Seating outside too but obviously weather dependant!

We only popped in for a coffee and a piece of cake and thoroughly enjoyed both. Very friendly staff and reasonable prices.

This is a great place to stop for coffee and cakes as part of the many great walks in the Troutbeck valley. Service is excellent and the coffee and selection of cakes are very good too

Stopped in for a quick pit stop, fantastic loose leaf tea and bacon sandwich, (lots of other food on offer also). We had a lovely sunny day so sat outside, great views! When were in the area will certainly be back.

This is a great little tea room, very welcoming staff and delicious cakes. Scones were amazing. Perfect if you’re on the Wansfell walk! Will be back

We walked from Ambleside and we’re so happy to come across this tea room. The coffee was amazing and the warm cheese scones were absolutely delicious. Very friendly and even though it was a damp February day, it was great to see this little place so busy. Definitely worth a visit.

I went for a run over Wansfell and then called in here for some calories. It was just what I needed; great coffee and a lovely bit of cake. The innovative plant pots made me smile.

At the end of quite an arduous trek, Wansfell trail, we ended up having coffee and homemade cakes in this delightful Tearoom. The staff were amazing, the coffee and cakes were absolutely delicious and, very, very reasonable. Would come back in a heartbeat.

Just down the road from us this is a lovely tea room perfect for breakfast or lunch. Food is good, staff all very pleasant and the interior is nice plus there is some seating outside. The walk up Robin Lane behind the cafe is definitely worth doing as a short distance up from the cafe you will be rewarded with one of the best views I have ever seen.

Excellent breakfast, we had the large full breakfast, the small full breakfast, Sausage sandwich and a BLT all were amazing highly recommended, place only has small kitchen so you may want to book in advance

Sorry but just shy of £20 for 2 bacon and egg sandwiches and 2 coffees . This is way more than it was under the old Management . Plus the Lady at the cash desk was far from welcoming . We won’t be back .

What a find. Fantastic choice of homemade food - great refuelling stop. Scones, cakes, sausage rolls, ice cream etc etc. Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. Worth making a detour for. Highly recommend

Great service and delicious food- stop off before walking wansfell and Ambleside Then returned following morning for a bacon and egg ciabatta- tasty and well done My son had a yummy cake too. All well presented and great portions. Would highly recommend 😍

Lovely tearoom with delicious ice cream and friendly staff. An ideal place to refuel on a long walk!

Beautiful spot, excellent flat whites, fab collection of nibbles etc., toilet for customer or 50p to kids charity. Excellent staff. Strongly recommend

Called in here for takeaway coffees and snacks first day and then for sit in coffee and cake on our 2nd day and it is a fantastic place. Good choice of home made cakes and generous portions too. Nice ice creams, lovely coffee and also reasonably priced soft drinks. Will definitely call back when visiting this area

Stopped for lunch while visiting National Trust property nearby. Food was all prepared freshly, were good sized portions and the staff were friendly and helpful. Great place to have a snack!

Lovely tea room with a very warm welcome. Tasty scones and a delicious latte, served with a smile. Perfect location, well worth a visit.

A lovely tea room in Troutbeck with gorgeous views and a great stop off after long walk. Lovely food and coffee, I know it should be tea and scone but I had coffee and scone, it was very good. Definitely going to be regular stop when we are in the Lakes.

Well worth the walk over the Fell, but however you get here, the welcome is warm. Excellent coffee, tea, cakes, baps etc. Open fire in the winter. Dogs welcome. Best stop in the lakes. We also had a great chat with a lady from down...

This was the second time we’d been to The Old Post Office, only the first time we went, it was closed, so it was with some relief that it was open this time. Two coffees, a slice of gluten free carrot cake and a cheese...

A great find in Troutbeck. We went once with a friend and again just as a couple. Tea from a teapot that did its job properly without soaking the table, a lovely cup of coffee and the hot chocolate with all the trimmings was fab....

Lovely relaxed atmosphere in the Tea Room. We enjoyed coffee which was nice. The food available looked really tasty and well presented. Great service. There are lots of local things available if you are passing - we bought a Red Squirrel calendar!! Do pop in...

We came in for an afternoon tea and cake, and it is such a delightful place. The people were so friendly, and there was something for everyone including a delicious gluten free carrot cake, and scone and clotted cream for the others. Would highly recommend

Under new local management we were impressed with the warm welcome (on a very wet day) and superb food on offer at a reasonable price. We'll be back to sample other options on the very attractive menu! Highly recommended.
