The Pink Geranium Cafe in Eden

Amazing customer service and very dog friendly would visit again, coffee was tasty and bacon roll was just what was required after a long walk locally

This is to be highly recommended - very helpful and welcoming staff, good food and really excellent value. We had afternoon tea with scone jam and cream and would have expected to pay at least £10 more for the three of us.

This is a very dog-friendly cafe. The service is great, very welcoming, and the food is remarkably cheap. My wife and I had a very pleasant breakfast here - pretty standard fare, but at bargain basement prices. The owners are very personable, and there's a good mix of locals and visitors - well worth a visit!

Couldn't believe the selection of different coffees on offer for a cafetiere and so reasonably priced just like the delicious scones. All the advice about the area and where else to eat was extremely helpful. What a delightful friendly place!

Another absolutely wonderful visit to this gorgeous little place. The gentleman who owns this place is an absolute godsend. Always more than welcoming and friendly. Dogs are also well catered for. Food is delicious and the coffee is the absolute best. So nice in fact we ended up buying some. Just wish we could replicate it at home x

What a refreshing change to find a cafe that uses good quality ingredients at extremely reasonable prices. We called in for lunch with our Golden Labrador whist visiting the area. What a welcome! Some places say they are dog friendly but this cafe goes above and beyond that, a very warm welcome from the owner, treats, water bowl, dog toys to play with! Needless to say our dog felt right at home. We were also given a warm welcome by the very polite owner who is justifiably proud of his cafe. We enjoyed our lunch of generous sandwiches so much we decided to return next day for breakfast. We both opted for the breakfast of egg, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, beans and 2 rounds of toast and butter for the amazing price of £6 each. The cafe is popular not just with visitors to the area but with locals, each one greeted by name as they came in. Tables were filled as soon as they emptied which shows how popular it is and such an asset to the community. We have already recommended the cafe to family and friends and we will definitely be back next time we are in the area. Thankyou Julie, Joe and Rio the dog

Fabulous dog friendly cafe. Lovely food at a reasonable price. The cafe can't do enough to make you and your dog to feel welcome.

The White Hare is a very good little cafe. Owners really friendly. Food good quality. Lots of different coffees. Sell local art works.. Had lots of interesting books about the area etc Very reasonably priced - at least 1/3rd cheaper than, e.g. mulberry bush cafe over the road. Would definitely go back.

This was such a friendly cafe with the most amazing prices. We had just had a stroll around the town and thought we’d call in here for a coffee. Then we saw the excellent menu and couldn’t resist a warm scone with jam and clotted cream - for £3. £3?! You pay that for a coffee these days. But even more impressive (the scone was tasty, by the way) was the reception given to dogs. Three or four brought their humans while we were there and the dogs were treated as well as the humans. Water given immediately, treats too (with the owners’ permission), the dogs were really made a fuss of. We don’t have dogs - we’re owned by seven cats - but I will always choose a dog friendly establishment over one which doesn’t accept dogs because it tells me so much about the people who run it. I know they’re going to be my kind of people. This is a lovely little cafe with the busiest owners ever. They are so quick and efficient. And I like their ethos. Would totally recommend!

Brilliant venue, the owners couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. This is a local gem and the best venue I’ve ever been for dogs! Homemade dog treats and sausage for them all free of charge and a dog bowl per table. The service was very quick and great quality, the £1 refills on any hot drink including for ones to takeaway is a great touch. We will definitely be returning on our next trip.

I went with my partner and dog as we are visiting the town for 3 days. Each day we have visited the white hare cafe. The owners are wonderful, they have helped us plan our weekend. By recommending places to eat and drink, the best walks and have given us maps to help. Our dog was given loads of treats and attention. I would recommend the cafe for its owners, community atmosphere and great value.

We visited this cafe for lunch on our way home from the Lakes. I struggled to choose what to have as everything on the menu sounded so good! I settled for soup and a toastie which were both delicious and the portions were very generous. My partner was very pleased to be able to get a sausage, bacon & bean sandwich cooked and presented exactly how he likes it too. The owners were fantastic and took the time to chat with us and other customers and also made a fuss of our dog and another dog in the cafe which was very much appreciated. This is a traditional style cafe and exactly what we were looking for. As I am coming down with a cold the soup was exactly what I needed and I wish I’d bought more to bring home! Thank you both and I hope to visit again in future.

What a lovely atmosphere and spotlessly clean cafe in the centre of town. We were served by a lovely chap who tended for our every need, what a really nice guy. The breakfast was top notch and piping hot. We will definitely return soon when we are passing through. 5 *****

Wonderful breakfast, great price and friendly staff. We regularly call in as it's the perfect breakfast stop on the way to adventures in the Western Dales.

My partner and I each had a very nice three cheese ploughman's, hers with a gluten free roll. Very friendly service, lots of local artwork hanging on the walls for sale.

Called in for a late lunch after a walk up Nine Standards. Very friendly service and lovely cafe food. Great place in the lovely town of Kirkby Stephen, we will certainly return.

Lovely little cafe very friendly made us very welcome with our dog she was spoilt had her breakfast too definitely call back in when we staying here again

This cafe has a limited menu but they do things well. Excellent and friendly service. Have dealt well on several occasions with a disabled friend.

Stopped off in Kirby Stephen on the way back to the north east & decided to have a cuppa here. As usual we ended up ordering food too - absolutely delicious & worth every penny. Two pots of tea, a Cumberland Ploughman's (with the best chutney ever!) and sandwiches with what seemed like an inch of filling (which also came with salad and crisps) at an extremely reasonable price. Service was so friendly, they even stayed open past the 4pm closing time until everyone was finished. Wonderful little café, will definitely be stopping her again next time we're passing through.

Called into this cafe today for takeaway sandwiches while on holiday and touring the area. The member of staff was friendly and helpful, the sandwiches made to order and packed full of fresh ingredients, really tasty, and the price was so reasonable! Highly recommended - you won't be disappointed!

Called in for a breakfast and wasnt disappointed, small friendly cafe, that is dog friendly and busy with locals and tourists alike. Found a table,quickly served by the owner who also asked if "Betty" the dog at the next table was bothering me,when she came to be petted which she wasnt, all the dogs were well behaved, and the owner makes a point of visiting every table to see if everything is ok Food was cooked perfectly and was delicious, and fairly priced, definitely recommended

Brilliant cafe. Highly recommended.... Very friendly and spot on service, lovely atmosphere, Menu just right and good food, good pricing.

Amazing find! Extremely welcoming and friendly staff, who took the time to talk to us and give our whippet a drink of water and various treats (which she loved!). The food and drinks were really good, and we will certainly be back when we pass through Kirby Stephen again. Wonderful hospitality! Cannot praise highly enough!

Nipped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Great menu choices and friendly welcoming staff. Little gem of a place

My family and I visited the cafe for lunch on our way home from holiday in Teesdale on Friday, just before noon to find every table occupied. We were happy to wait and were even recommended another cafe in the village which we had a look at, but promptly returned to the White Hare to wait. On our return we were offered to share a table with Pat (a regular customer) who was waiting for her friend Jean and dog Betty and boy are we glad we did! We were made to feel so welcome as was our whippet George, our order was taken promptly and the drinks and lovely food soon followed. What makes this cafe stand out is the amount of room around the tables, there being plenty but also the staff, a breath of fresh air. The cafe is so good Pat was there for her second visit of the day! We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and spending time with Pat, Jean and Betty, we sure did share some laughs and stories. So if you’re lucky enough to be offered a table share with these lovely ladies you just make sure you say yes.

We attempted to visit on our first day whilst on Holiday nearby (we tried to get in as a family of 6) knew it was good as so busy so we contacted via Facebook and booked a table for lunchtime later in the week and we returned to say the service, food and drinks was amazing would be an understatement! The food was delicious, we had a variety of items from the menu and all really enjoyed! The latte was delicious and both boys enjoyed their milkshakes! Nothing was too much trouble service was fantastic! Would HIGHLY recommend and we will be back when visiting the area again

Great breakfast and breakfast rolls, good size pot of tea. Friendly and welcoming, have been everyday they were open. Highly recommended

We visited yesterday after a long walk at 3.40pm. We tried over the road opposite 1st only to be told abruptly that they weren’t doing food. We then tried here and although they were closing at 4pm they could not have been more accommodating. Good food and lovely service. Very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Will recommend!

Had a lovely breakfast at a reasonable price. The staff are very friendly and very helpful 10 out of 10.

Luckily I arrived just as the cafe was opening as it became busy very quickly, and a Sunday too! No rush to order. However, it was obvious I would need to order or I may have to wait a bit. No such worries, most customers, including me, were served fairly quickly. My breakfast was very nice and very good value also! Kirkby Stephen has some very nice pubs/bars, cafes and restaurants, The White Hare is one them. Well worth a visit!

Visited this lovely cafe with our young children & teenage nephews for a quick lunch. So lucky to get a table as it’s quite busy and not too many tables, the gentleman serving was so accommodating and friendly. The food choice was good and really reasonably priced, importantly it was tasty and the side salads were a good size! The cake and pudding selection was great too. Dogs were welcome, we’ll definitely try to come again when we are next up.

Quirky, cosy & lovely. That is how I would sum up this cafe. I love unique little places that are full or character. An array of books on the local area free to browse. Lovely food - we had breakfast and I was relieved when...

A very welcoming cafe, especially for dog owners. Our dog was greeted with a bowl of water and some treats. The food was excellent - all home made and very reasonably priced and the owners made this a very special place.

Absolutely fantastic little cafe. Great selection of food, great portions sizes and very friendly staff. There are lots of local artists displaying their art work. We will definitely come back for another meal.

Great little find during a short stop in Kirkby Stephen! Very welcoming and delicious food. Definitely worth a visit.

A lovely welcoming and friendly café, the sort of place where the owner apologises for only having three different vegan cheese available to make a vegan ploughmans. Welcoming for locals and tourists alike with an extensive menu and reasonable prices. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Travelled from Middlesbrough at the weekend and visited here for a spot of lunch. Welcomed upon entering and faultless throughout. Food was lovely I had nachos and couldn't eat it all very tasty. Nothing was a problem and very friendly

What a little gem, came across this place purely by accident, extremely friendly and excellent value, had a lovely tasty lunch in a relaxed environment.

Such a very friendly (and very dog friendly) cafe. We now visit the White Hare at least once on our annual holidays in the area. This time we had lunch there, and returned for tea on a subsequent day. The food is good and is...

We can't recommend this gem of a cafe enough - as a dog owner everything you could ask for - as a non-dog owner everything you could ask for. We met friends halfway here so 5 of us and a large dog. Each of us...

Lovely people with excellent food and the most welcoming place for dogs You can ignore the negative rating from 2018 as the hosts now are fairly recent and are very attentive.

We stopped at this cafe on the off chance on our way home with our little dog after a few days in the lakes. WOW ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC AND SO WORTH A VISIT ❤️. The most friendly welcome from such attentive staff. Lot's of local people...

We visited yesterday whilst passing through the area and enjoyed a fabulous light lunch of toasties with our very soggy dog that was given an equally warm welcome...thank you. We managed to get the last table, having checked the menu in the window. Our dog...

A lovely, welcoming, dog-friendly cafe in the heart of Kirkby Stephen. The staff are incredibly friendly and the place gives off a really warm, relaxed atmosphere. 😌 I got the luxury hot chocolate which was delightful. Grandmother enjoyed a scone and coffee.

Had a really nice lunch here, then came back for tea and cake the next day which was just as good! Super friendly staff, quick service and lots of veggie/vegan options.

From start to finish the guy that served us couldn’t have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The food was lovely and if you had a second coffee you got it for a £1 - bargain. Definitely go back

Have stopped here a few times en route to Newcastle. Friendly staff, excellent food at such reasonable prices.... filling lunch for 3 plus drinks...less than £20. Amazing. We will be back.

First visit and delighted. Very warm welcome to us strangers to the area. Would certainly be a regular if nearby residents. Wishing you well for the future after a covid start up!

I booked this place to celebrate my mums 65th birthday with afternoon tea. We are a family of three adults and two children (2 & 6 years young!) We are one of those families with food allergies but honestly these guys could not have accommodated...

We were lucky to get a table in this lovely, popular, friendly cafe as we were cycling in the area today. We were made to feel very welcome. A delicious lunch snack and hot coffee set us up for the remainder of our ride. Although we don't live in this area, we'll be back again soon. We recommend The White Hare Cafe to our many cycle friends.

Six of us and two dogs had a lovely lunch yesterday. Thanks far a warm welcome, great food and very happy dogs after all the treats!

Dropped by on the way to the lakes. Great little cafe! Highly recommend the crumble and custard! Coffee was great too. Owners very welcoming and helpful. Will be coming back soon.

Fascinating little cafe with all the cups and jugs on the ceiling, friendly staff, made to feel very welcome. I was disappointed with my breakfast though. If you eat meat you get 2 thick sausages bacon eggs and beans, I got two very thin bland veggie ‘sausages’ 1 egg and beans. We all got two slices of toast but not much butter. At the very least I think there should also have been hash browns and mushrooms. Please source some nicer sausages and add some extras.

Lovely food and service. Didn't like the latte mind, I think it was from a press button machine so will have tea next time. Really super value, definitely going back!!

We were on a weekend break to Kirkby Stephen and visited here once for lunch and then went back for breakfast the next day. Lovely food and coffee both times and very friendly service. Definitely recommend!

Cute cafe with the best coffee and the food was all really good tea. Definitely recommend. Only downside not many tables presumably reduced for social distancing and people had to be turned away, fortunately we landed just at the right time.

A lovely cafe, very friendly, home made food really tasty, perfect after an early start heading into the lakes from Scotch corner. Gluten free available and lots of choice. Very dog friendly, our pooch was thoroughly spoiled with biscuits and sausage! A great start to our holidays, thank you
