Treeby & Bolton Cafe in Allerdale

We always visit this cafe when we visit Keswick. The food and cakes are great & on our most recent visit, the staff were absolutely brilliant with my hubby who has Alzheimer’s. I asked them to cut his sandwich into manageable pieces without him knowing & they readily agreed & showed a great deal of patience when he began rambling about his football medal. I had ordered a flat white & it was not strong enough, so I mentioned it to a member of staff & she happily gave me a couple of extra shots. Can’t fault the staff, they work extremely hard & are always very friendly. I can highly recommend this cafe.

10/10 lovely place, beautiful food, friendly staff, great value for money. We had ploughman’s, which was the most colourful and tasty one we have had ! Followed by a scone, jam and cream, and bakewell tart, 2 pots of leaf tea, couldn’t fault any of it, wouldn’t hesitate to go again, shame we don’t live closer, thank you

Visited here many times, excellent service as usual, extremely friendly and welcoming to all, despite today being one of the busiest days of the week. Opted for their homemade soup, Mediterranean vegetables, good choice but only what I'd expected as soup is always excellent and changes daily. A well organised establishment, a credit to Keswick.

A rainy Saturday in Keswick forced us inside for tea and cake. Lovely cafe, staff were friendly and cakes and tea were lovely. Will be returning on my next visit to Keswick.

On a hot cloudless September day we were seeking a shady outside spot for lunch with our 2 little dogs. This met our needs admirably. Upstairs is a beautiful picture gallery. Downstairs is a good-sized busy cafe ( though no dogs allowed ) Outside and in the shade were 3 or 4 tables where our dogs were welcome. Delicious soups, great open sandwiches and lots of other options. Superb Square Mile coffees. If you have room for something sweet, they have lemon meringue pie to die for,.All the food is carefully planned, expertly executed, efficiently served and reasonably priced. We enjoyed it so much we went back 2 days later. Highly recommended.

Great visit with family, the coffee was lovely and great selection of teas. I tried the lemon meringue for dessert which was one of the best I've tasted! We stayed for hours (for an overdue family catch-up) and we didn't feel rushed by staff at all. Will definitely be back!

Something so holiday-esk as browsing the gallery and then sitting down for an afternoon tea in the downstairs cafe

Treeby & Bolton Cafe is an absolute gem. Delicious and wholesome food, soups, scones & cakes. I pop in when i can, today was freshly made Tomato & Lentil Soup, served with warm Cheese Scone...scrummy! The staff are super friendly, always happy to answer questions or offer suggestions. I love that they always remember exactly how i like my coffee. Massive thank you to Hannah, Kirsty, Adam, Martin and the whole team for a job, very well done!!

A delightful and friendly cafe with a great choice of meals at super prices. My vegetarian meal was a beautiful balance of taste and textures, the loose leaf tea was refreshing and the fruit cake moist and full of flavour. My favourite Keswick eatery from today!

We had a nice meal there. My partner had the cheese savoury tart which was really delicious and I had the sausage roll which was good but nothing special. It did come with an especially delicious apple sauce though. The drinks were nice there, I had an decaf iced hazelnut latte which was creamy and refreshing. It was very busy and the atmosphere was nice. It was a little tough to catch a server’s attention but like I said it was very busy. The toilets were clean and the staff were polite, all in all a very nice visit.

Just OK. Expensive for portion size. Nice food but have had bigger and better for same price elsewhere. Staff OK but no one went the extra mile. 3 out of 5.

Excellent service in this very popular cafe. Fortunately my wife and I have usually managed to find a seat but staff are certainly accommodating. We've been on holiday for a couple of weeks and been in a few times. Always great coffee, the best in Keswick and fantastic cake. Would definitely recommend the lemon meringue pie. It does get busy but usually you don't have to wait too long.

Enjoyed a very pleasant experience for coffee & scone yesterday. Flat white too weak for my other half, but good for me. Staff were friendly with table service. It was a nice change to find somewhere that was not ‘doggie friendly’. Fed up lately of doggie treats, ice cream & doggie menus. Somewhere to visit again if in the area.

Two teas and two fruit scones. At 64years I’ve had a few yet this was the best by some margin. The tea was leaf tea and the flavour was superb. Highly recommend.

Despite being very busy on market day, staff were efficient and polite. Coffee was properly hot and it was good value. Gluten free cake option was delicious.

We went here for coffee as many of our old favorites in Keswick had closed in recent years following COVID. We were pleasantly surprised and returned for a second visit. The coffee was very good with a good range of cakes and bakes. The table service was very friendly and efficient. Will come again.

Very good service. Hot chocolate excellent. Banoffee Pie was just great. Atmosphere was very relaxing relaxing.

Very nice eatery below and nice Gallery. good selection of food reasonably priced. Just a shame the staff were so grumpy and unfriendly, the coffee was very weak so I would return for food but avoid a coffee.

Stopped off for a coffee and scone mid afternoon. Very pleasant waitress service lovely scone nice atmosphere. Let down by insipid coffee. Don’t think I’ll be back as I like my coffee stronger but other than that lovely

Close to the main central car park, this cafe offers an interesting menu. The food is well presented and the service efficient and friendly. Stacked in the floors above the cafe is the gallery and that is worth a visit too.

Our favourite place for tea and cake in Keswick. Always a lovely selection of cakes. Lovely staff who are all friendly and helpful.

We found this cafe tucked away and it was such a relief to find a place which didn’t resemble crufts dog show as they don’t allow them. There are plenty of dog friendly places but some of us are sick of them. The staff were so friendly and helpful, it’s spacious, bright and airy, the choice of cakes, snacks and drinks I would imagine will satisfy every taste and ours were delicious, great service, loved it, thanks.

we always go hearas the food is wonderful you can fet either a scone sandwich or a light meal. and even better is you can eat in peace as they dont allow dogs

An outlier in Keswick being anti dog. If most other superior businesses are dog friedly then surely this place needs to get up to date. Happy to have a near empty cafe then accommodate well behaved dogs. Happy to have kids running around in the...

We stopped here for a light lunch. The food was excellent. I had the pork cassoulet and the we shared cakes and coffees. The cakes in particular were delicious. The service was quick. It is worth visiting the gallery/shop upstairs above the cafe. The handmade...

The rain was teeming down,so we nipped Into this modern cafe bar complete with shop and gallery.The service was fast friendly.We only stopped for drinks,but we noticed quite an extensive menu and not badly priced.

Enjoyed an excellent lunch. Good food and drinks, and an excellent atmosphere. Good service and friendly staff. We returned for an afternoon cup of tea and delicious scones.

Superb service in a great location. Food was excellent and waitress was very helpful. Would recommend to anyone who visits the lake District.

Visited this cafe a couple of times recently, excellent service on both occasions despite being extremely busy. Regardless of the time of day when you visit it does always appear to be popular, which is always a good sign. Only had time for a coffee...

A nice place for a good cup of coffee, and a cake, or snack. We stopped by a couple of times whilst staying in Keswick - can recommend.

Popped in today for lunch and decided on a soup / sandwich deal. Then couldn't decide on homemade sausage roll @ £4.95 or the ploughman's with sausage roll and Cheddar with sides @ £9.95 The soup / sandwich was fine but the ploughman's we ordered...

We have used this cafe on our last two visits to Keswick and it is excellent. We are big fans of their soup and cheese scone combination, which seem to be just so tasty when we have had them. Also, very tasty cakes, the lemon...

We love Keswick and in our opinion the Treeby & Bolton Cafe is the place to go to! Delicious food served in a warm friendly atmosphere by the new owners. Good value for money and well worth a visit. We will be back for sure….

What a find a lovely situation and very appealing to enter and a lovely welcome we had delicious ice cream and drinks served by Lucy who was absolutely lovely So we shall be back

Popped in for a late lunch only to be shouted at (and I mean shouted) for not seeing the small ‘Wait to be seated’ sign amongst all the Covid signage. Once we had conformed the same member of staff stormed off shouting ‘Well, come on!’...

After a substantial walk around part of Derwentwater (whilst here on our North/Western Lakes holiday) we retreated to Keswick town centre; as it was now quite warm in the strong sunshine. We had spotted this Shop, Gallery & Café on our initial town centre recce;...

We stumbled across this cafe while on holiday in Keswick. A really lovely cafe, lovely homemade food. Kid friendly and really lovely food. Kids were made up with the massive homemade sausage rolls.

We visited Treeby on the off chance whilst in Keswick. What a find. The staff were excellent and the food was good. The only thing to let them down was the fruit cake was overdone and as it was the last piece, really should not...

Always visit here when in the Lakes! Love the coffee & selection of cakes. Tastefully decorated too. Wonderful shop upstairs with helpful staff!

Food was really excellent, salmon sandwich delicious, and my little girls loved their pasta. Thanks a lot we’ll be visiting again.

Couldn't wait to return to our favourite cafe in Keswick, excited to have hot food back on the menu after such a long break, however we were hugely disappointed. There was nothing on the menu for our taste apart from soup, which unfortunately was quite...

We have been visiting the cafe for many years and have never been disappointed, however it has changed its menu and gone from a vibrant venue with a original and innovative selection to a rather humdrum run of the mill establishment. Such favourites as the...

Stopped in here for Tea and cake after a walk around town and the lake, Nice display of cakes caught my eye, Welcomed by the staff as we entered and told it was table service. Ordered 2 teas and scones , scones came warm and...

Despite the nice waitress, we were disappointed with the cakes and coffees. The cake display looked amazing but lacked flavour, especially my lemon meringue, not very “lemony” at all! The coffees were luke warm and very weak, definitely not a cappuccino. £14 for two cakes...

We called in yesterday while visiting Keswick. It was always our favourite coffee stop when we lived in the town but having moved away 2 years ago, we hadn't visited for some time avoiding the busy tourist town during the summer months. We were so...

After a long walk up to Latrigg a cup of tea and an excellent slice of chocolate and orange cake was just what was needed. Really like this place, good selection of cakes, friendly service, we liked it enough to go back again next day.

We had coffee and cake here. Staff were very friendly. Cakes were delicious and coffee was very good. When we’re in Keswick again we will definitely pop in.

This is a beautiful café and art gallery set off the main street in Keswick, so it is lovely and quiet to sit outside. We had a mocha, cherry Bakewell cake and a cheese scone with chutney. They were all delicious. The staff were really...

We visit here when in Keswick as it is a clean welcoming cafe . Coffee is always excellent, and cake really good too. As I have an allergy to dogs it is great to find somewhere where no dogs are allowed inside. While waiting for...

Outside table for the three of us on a Sunday afternoon with some gorgeous cakes and coffee. Friendly staff and near to the park.

We went in for coffee, tea and cakes. The lemon marangue pie that I was served was huge and it was delicious. We didn't have a full meal here, but it was well run and I have no-doubt that the meals will be just as...

This place has the Best Lemon Meringue Pie & Banoffee Pie we've had in a very long time! Great coffee too - thoroughly recommended!

Lovely cafe, we were made to feel very welcome. We have been to Keswick several times but have never come to this cafe before.... we will be back, to both Keswick & the cafe!!

It's a delight to find such excellent, friendly service and such delicious food in the same place. Recommended by a friend, it will be on my 'go-to' list whenever I visit Keswick.

Delicious breakfast and cakes. Dog friendly outside. Good prices. Friendly staff. Highly recommend. So glad we happened to stop as walking past.

I quite like how Treeby and Bolton combine their cafe with an art gallery and gift shop and also how reasonably priced the cafe is in a tourist hotspot like Keswick. For £ 14 or thereabouts, a meal, a cake and a large coffee are...

we went at 3pm after having walked Derwentwater circle walk. We ordered a soup ( Tomato and Basil ), fish platter and Fish Goujons Both the fish dishes were enjoyed, the soup however was not upto the mark, it tasted like pasta sauce., should have...

Called in here while visiting Keswick and wow, the staff were all very helpful and covid measures were being taken very seriously. I had a delicious goats cheese and walnut salad and my wife had soup and a sandwich, homemade sweet potato and squash soup...

A Lovely Gallery And Cafe Downstairs. The Only Thing I Could Fault Is That They Do Not Cater For Dietary Requirements Very Well But All The Staff Were Lovely And They Made Sure That Covid Measures Were Being Followed.

In these difficult time. two track and trace systems (app and there own), pleasant and helpful, nice food and drink reasonable price for what you get. Very tasty, with attentive staff.

Came here while visiting Keswick. We had classic cream tea which was delicious. Staff were excellent and friendly. Everywhere clean and safe regarding covid procedures. Very relaxed atmosphere with chilled Christmas songs in the background. Would definitely return here in the future.

Thank you so much for your wonderful approach to service. Not only with regards to being Covid safe.. But with me as a new mummy! The staff helped me find a table with lots of pram space, supported me with ordering my meal when I...

This place is heaven on earth! We visited Keswick on a wet and windy day in October and stopped off in here for a cuppa and a lite bite! Cappuccino and food platters, omg were beaut! I got seafood platter and wife ordered cheese board...

We had lunch and it was just perfect. The cakes looked amazing, but we were too full to have one. We had never been before but will make sure we go next time we go to Keswick. The gallery upstairs was really interesting too.

Great little cafe in centre of Keswick, with added bonus of a fabulous art gallery & shop. Service is friendly and swift, following the COVID safety guidelines. Excellent homemade cakes & pastries, served with good coffee & teas selections. Homemade soup was a delight on...

Great coffee shop with amazing cakes and meals in very comfortable surroundings. Their attention to our safety in these covid times was commendable!

Always go here when staying in Keswick. The food is always lovely and it was this time. They have gorgeous homemade cakes too. The staff are usually very nice and friendly too.

We went for a walk around part of Derwentwater lake and popped into Treeby's cafe for cakes and coffee. They were lovely - just what we needed!

Dropped in for lunch..had a short wait outside but it was worth it and staff were attentive and informative about the wait. First noticed the thorough clean down between table service..even the menus got a wipe. Then the food. Well first day I had the...

We had 2 lovely omelettes. Wished we hungry enough to try one of the delicious looking platters. Very covid secure. Well priced.

Called into Treeby and Bolton Cafe for a hot drink and cake whilst staying in Keswick. I went for cappuccino coffee and fruit scone while my wife had tea and chocolate brownie and cream. Both drinks and good were very good. The cafe also houses...

Mi pareja y yo visitamos el café esta semana y quedamos muy impresionados, nos informaron a la llegada de los cambios de COVID y de los alimentos que se habían acabado.Comí una tortilla con mi pareja con el rollo de salchicha gigante, con un té y un capuchino, seguido de una tarta de bakewell y un bollo de naranja y arándano. . Todos estaban absolutamente deliciosos y el personal no podía hacer más por ti.Nuestra única queja fueron los inodoros, aunque parecían limpios en general, los inodoros son unisex y, desafortunadamente, el usuario antes que yo había dejado el asiento levantado, pero también algo de líquido en el borde del inodoro. . lo que me desanimó un poco.Como había dos baños separados, podría haber sido mejor tener baños femeninos / masculinos separados para evitar estos problemasEn general, definitivamente regresaríamos

Fabulous !!!! From we walked through the door we were made to feel welcome. The staff were really helpful and we felt totally COVID safe ❤️. Then we had our food and our experience went to another level ! The food was wonderfully presented and tasted amazing ! We had lunch but spotted the cakes ( my husband had his eye on the lemon meringue ) . We had a lovely day in Keswick and called on the way back to the car for cake and a coffee and my husband got his lemon meringue ! This place is a little gem with wonderful food and just as wonderful staff ! We will return .

just wanted to say how friendly and efficient the staff were today - despite all the extra things to do, with the covid restrictions in place, they managed to make us feel very welcome. We spoke to the manager and though she was busy, took time to make sure we were completely happy. Lovely cakes too

We popped into Keswick today And after reading the reviews I wanted to eat here I wasn’t disappointed We arrived here at 12pm no bookings are needed and was given a table straight away We chose the sharing platter for 2 It was lovely you had fresh bread smoked meats and cheeses pickles and salad Then we had pudding I had to try the sticky toffee pudding it’s to die for Really nice and something different

My family and I visited Treeby & Bolton last week after a long day walking the hills.The gallery is amazing and stocked with some lovely pieces - the setting is sublime and a perfect space to reflect on the art on display.The cafe offered a varied range of options (all of our choices were excellent) and the wide selection of delicious cakes were outstanding.We whole heartedly recommend this establishment and look forward to our next visit.

Managed to get a table outside, the coffee and cake was delicious. The menu looked very good. Good covid table spacing

You just know, when you order food and drinks here, that they're gong to be good quality. The coffee is proper coffee, the cappuccino has a thick and creamy froth. And the fish platter had THE best combination of smoked salmon, mackerel pate etc - nothing huge, or fiddly or complicated, just really top-of-the-range, carefully sourced ingredients. Fish sourced every day from a Blackpool supplier we were told. It was certainly worth the extra effort!

We were told to try Treeby and Bolton Cafe. So pleased we did. The food was really good. The staff are so pleasant and helpful. Pleasure to visit and it’s now our go to place when in Keswick

Called in here twice whilst staying in keswick both times for lunch, the first time the man made us breakfast rolls as we were a little late, but because it was quite he made them, we really enjoyed them and the staff were really welcoming in the cafe, however we nearly did not get to the cafe, as a rather rude women in the art gallery nearly put me off going in, very abrupt when i asked directions to the cafe...glad i did go in though as the staff in this place were fantastic thank you

We ordered 2 cream teas which were delicious. However, on a miserably wet day, the rooms were all cold, to the extent that my husband asked if the heating was broken. He was told that it was a cold day. The tables are really close together and almost impossible for larger people to squeeze in to. The lady near me was caught on the side of the table by her coat. Four people next to us were interrupted mid flow in their conversation by the waitress asking if she could clear their table and I find this so rude. There is no excuse for pushing people out, in order to clear tables. There was no queue waiting. One feels like a nuisance. The toilets are rather peculiar and appear to be in a cupboard. All in all..underwhelming. It used to be excellent when it first opened.

Visit was just ok. Food was a long time from ordering to being served. The soup was nice, but others in our party weren’t impressed. Wouldn’t go again.

Excellent cafe we discovered by chance on a rainy day in Keswick. Glad we did as it was an excellent experience all round. Pleasant and helpful staff, large helpings of delicious cakes and good coffee and hot chocolate. Nice and spacious inside and prices in keeping with other similar cafes. Would definitely return when next in the area.

Nice place, nice atmosphere. Food was good, but a bit overpriced for my taste. Cake were absolutely fantastic. Very friendly, polite staff. Loved the Pavlova. Reasonable portions as well.

Been a while since I last visited here so decided to give it another try for lunch with my Nana. Inside is absolutely stunning, clean and modern, staff very attentive and friendly... I had a soup and sandwich, I didn’t really enjoy the soup but I think it was just not to my taste, my chicken sandwich was beautiful, my Nana has the pasta and she really enjoyed the huge portion. Good value for money and would definitely return.

Asked in a local shop which was best place for a coffee, and both assistants immediately said Treeby's, for the lemon meringue. So as lemon meringue connoisseurs we had to go. Then we saw the food. Lovely creative ideas for a light lunch, including a wonderful sausage and apple pie with salad, and of course the LM pie. We were so full we asked for a bag to take the pie home, and they got a box and kept it in the fridge until we left. Brilliant. Lovely friendly service.

Such an array of different artist displays in a modern gallery with the best cake and tea. Staff are friendly and make you feel really welcome.

We actually went twice for lunch during our recent stay in Keswick the food was that good, very reasonably priced compared to a smaller establishment just around the corner. We had an assortment of food this visit, soups, beef stew, rarebit, and massive slices of pavlova - it's one of our go to places for lunch in Keswick. See you in September guys!!
