Ubuntu Cafe Bar in South Lakeland

I loved this colourful little café, but unfortunately I had to mark them down as I think something must have been burnt shortly before we arrived, and my eyes are so sensitive that within a few minutes my eyes were stinging and streaming. I had a fabulous hot chocolate, and my son really enjoyed his burger. I would have liked to have stayed longer but my eyes were so sore (and it was too cold to sit outside) that I just wanted to leave. Staff were fantastic, and I feel terrible that I couldn’t give them the 5 stars that they deserve.

Great new café in bowness on Windermere, lovely vibe and great food. My go to local place to have lunch in-between work. love the beans on toast. Nice art on the walls as well. :)

Lovely café, great food and nice staff, dog friendly but clean and it has a great atmosphere. the in house piano helps.. I would recommend for breakfast/lunch. Great coffee.

We spend the morning on the water and all we wanted was a warm coffee, we were delighted when we spotted this small coffee shop, the coffee, food and service was absolutely amazing ! Nothing was too much trouble and we were happy to support a small business ☕️

We spent a great couple of hours here today. Lovely friendly staff serving great food, snacks and drinks and what a treat as there was a local guy (Richard) playing the piano and everyone singing along. Great atmosphere. Would highly recommend. 😁❤

The food was amazing with friendly, cheery service. The latte was simply delicious. The place has such character. Definitely not a place to walk by and not pop in! Highly recommend 😍

I just popped in for a coffee and sandwich after a bike ride before catching the ferry. The staff were very friendly and the sandwich exceeded expectations. Oat latte also good but served a bit hot

A real treat of a restaurant. The warmest of welcomes, a great menu and a delicious meal. We had the Smoked Haddock Rarebit, huge portion, so tasty and beautifully presented. Very reasonable prices and plenty of seating in and outside. Dogs welcome.

Absolutely outstanding food and an amazing vibe. This place is right up my street. Very relaxed with exceptional food. I'm fortunate enough to have eaten in some very nice restaurants in my time. For a "Cafe Bar" this ranks amongst the best.

We found this on an off chance up an alley on our day trip to Windermere. We found the service was amazing, start to finish. The staff were so lovely! We loved the breakfast served on the slate plates too! Lovely tasting food for great value!! The toilet upstairs was kept spotless and included extra toiletries if needed!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ P.s. we absolutely loved the Harry styles playlist that was playing on the Thursday that we visited 🫶🏻 Thank you!

This place is a hidden gem in what is a bustling Bowness. Set on a side street but well signposted from the main road. It was the signage that caught my eye, and ever keen to eat without the crowds we followed them in hope. We weren’t let down, there was literally no one else in when we arrived just after 12 on a sunny Sunday in July. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was amazing. The menu is cheaply printed and out together so you would be forgiven for walking by but the food outshines the menu in every way. I ordered a chicken and bacon club sandwich (£9) with fries on the side (£2), and my daughter had the kids burger and fries (£6.50). I’ve added a pic of the club, it was huge! The sandwich itself was well made and had all the right things for a good club sandwich. On the side was a tasty fresh salad and a pot of creamy coleslaw. The kids burger was also huge, I’d have been happy having it as a lunch myself. Overall very happy customers who plan to return soon! PS there’s free super fast Wi-Fi

This cafe was a regular stop during our 2 weeks .Great service ,quality pot of tea and delicious coffee. Dog friendly:-) Just of the busy roads so relaxed place playing good music. Will definitely be back next year Not to be missed.

Very nice food: jacket potatoes with plenty of fillings & lovely presentation plus a lovely home-made burger; we were expecting a light lunch, so, were surprised at the large portions; lovely pots of Earl Grey, too & very nice staff.
