Yam Frae Yam in Copeland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A hidden gem, a perfect little cafe in the heart of Gosforth celebrating locally produced ingredients and local artists. We are frequent visitors to Gosforth and this little cafe really brightened our day and what was a very stormy and wet day. The homemade cakes are lovely and the hot drinks are great too. We would highly recommend this cafe to anyone

This is a must if you’re staying in or near Gosforth, this couple work hard to make this the place to go for breakfast, cooked fresh with local ingredients, I had the Big Yam (Bigger Breakfast) everyday and everybody had different breakfast. The atmosphere is great and the lady also bakes her own cakes as well, I don’t know where she gets the time but they are delicious cakes. Worth booking and reserving a table as we arrived some mornings and it was crowded, don’t pass an opportunity to have breakfast here, just a note it is closed Sunday and Monday, opens 9-3

Light lunch turned into a large lunch due to high quality of produce. Reasonably priced, all made on site & welcoming service.

Just happened to be passing by with two wet dogs in Gosforth. Saw that ‘Dogs were welcomed.Humans tolerated’ Took a chance. Cafe is bright and clean and deliciously quirky. Really friendly greeting and atmosphere. Excellent menu for vegans, vegetarians and sad carnivores like me. My food was just awesome. My cup of tea so big you could have bathed in it. A really delightful find.Up here for a week and will visit again before we leave. Our two dogs loved it to!😎

Good options for vegetarians. We had the full vege breakfast, a huge tea and a great flat white. Plus an amazing brownie to take away. Friendly service as well.

Stopped for a coffee while exploring the local area. Chatted with the cafe owners who had great local knowledge. Coffee was lovely. Didn’t eat but other customers seemed to be enjoying their food

Visited this lovely, cosy cafe on the way to Ennerdale lake. Fantastic little find run by a young couple. She advised us before we ordered that there was a slight delay in food but we didn’t mind as it was obvious everything was cooked freshly. Decor was quaint with lots of paintings which you can purchase. My boyfriend had a mocha and said it was lovely which means a lot as he usually says “bog standard” and I asked for a glass of milk which wasn’t a problem at all. We both had the cooked breakfast and I can honestly say it was one of the nicest we’ve had (and we travel around a lot!). The food was so tasty and well seasoned, it was a delight and the price we paid was extremely reasonable. We don’t often visit the same place twice but if we’re ever back in the area, we will definitely drop in for food! Highly recommend!

OK so there's not a lot of choice in Gosforth but this cafe would fare well against competition anywhere. I visit Gosforth every month or so and always get breakfast here. The window seats are best IMO so I aim to get there 0900-0905hrs to secure my favourite. I take a veggie breakfast but they are very accommodating if you want to opt in or out of specifics. I asked to downsize this morning because the portions are generous. The coffee is great and the service impeccable. The bonus yesterday is that on an impulse I decided to rent one of their electric bikes for 24 hours to find out what all the fuss is about. It was a blast. I'll be back on Saturday 8th October - can I reserve a table for three please?

It was my first visit to Yam Frae Yam and I was attracted by the low prices in a place that can be expensive to eat out. Glad I visited this cafe as my meal and drink came to £ 10.70 and was excellent. My burger, using locally sourced beef, was beautiful and came with slaw and tortilla chips. Also Yam Frae Yam does an excellent cooked breakfast, cakes and paninis, and doubles up as library and an art shop. Yam Frae Yam has free wi fi and the car park next to the cafe is free, another bonus. Anyone who is travelling to Wastwater and Scafell should consider visiting this cafe.

Called into this little cafe after looking at its reviews, not disappointed at all! Quirky decor and local artists work on the walls , met with a warm and friendly welcome . Not fazed by asking for oat milk and gluten free bread . Both of us had a full breakfast , and well cooked tasty food was produced. Not sure where the coffee was from but it was excellent quality and plenty of it. Definitely call back in on another day, atm. Closed on a Sunday and Monday

Stopped off for a coffee, decided to have a teacake, correct decision. Lovely coffee but absolutely delicious teacake with butter and a choice of jam. Staff so friendly, pleasant and helpful. Other diners' choices looked equally attractive. Shame I was only in Gosforth for half an hour! Best bit (apart from the teacake) - they've made an old rolltop bath into a couch! Quirky place.

My mother, myself and my Patterdale puppy visited today for lunch. What a lovely place you have here. The furniture and deco are fabulous. Our lunch was just perfect. The coffee perfect and the massive mug of tea was perfect. Very friendly pleasant staff. Looking forward to our next visit for the breakfast. Thank you very much. Not many places around like this. Excellent value for money too. Love the fact that you are also dog friendly. On entry we saw two other dogs resting paws while their humans enjoyed lunch. Wonderful place. Well done. X

We stumbled upon this lovely cafe whilst cycling one of Thurston’s Lost Lanes routes. Such a lovely reception from the owners who have a bike and board hire business based there also. Nice menu of snacks, including sandwiches and paninis. Good coffee and teas. Free fruit to help yourself, books to read etc. A must if you are in the area.

Found this place on a drive out on Tuesday and we weren't disappointed. We were given a warm welcome, the order was taken quickly and efficiently. We were offered different jams with our scones, something you don't seem to get elsewhere. The staff were very nice. My mum is nearly 80 and she loved it. Thank you.

Back in my local cafe for lunch today and I wasn't disappointed 😁 My usual Bacon and Brie Panini, pot of tea and a nice piece of cake. Great Food, Friendly Service and Fair Prices, what is there not to like 😁😁😁

Just found this fantastic cafe! Lovely hosts, dog and child friendly. Popped in for drinks only - all very good. Didnt have any food but it smelled lovely! Recommend coming in if out this way.

Had a lovely bit of lunch and coffee after a walk. Really friendly staff, food was amazing and such a cute cosy place! A great addition to our holiday.

Excellent service with lovely food. And all done for a reasonable price .... definitely yam frae yam 😊

Smashing little family run café. Lovely coffee and excellent salads. Very friendly staff. "Dogs Welcome, Humans Tolerated". Perfect.

Fabulous find for a tasty lunch. Light airy and slightly quirky. Great home prepared tasty food. Small but diverse menu catering for s variety of tastes. I could have eaten the whole menu (but not in one sitting!) :-)

What a lovely place to stop for lunch. Had the sharing platter for 2. Amazing value with a choice of so many nice things to have. All fresh and the bread was warm too. Would definitely go back if we are passing that way

Had a fantastic sharing platter and loved that we could pick any ten items from their British and Mediterranean Boards. All delicious. There's a cosy relaxed atmosphere and the staff are lovely.

What a fabulous place. It is small and cosy and the people friendly. they boast that the food is mainly sourced locally and the rustic baguette with bacon was exceptional. My husband was equally enthusiastic about his breakfast and on a return trip the sharing...

Couldn't fault food at all was just want we needed. Not far for any hotel in the area. Just what you need if ur hiking for the day. So a big AYE fay me

Lovely, quaint and charming atmosphere with delicious food all reasonably priced. Loved it! Would come here everyday for coffee and cake and lunches if I lived locally. Can’t recommend it enough.

Happened upon this wonderful village Cafe by chance. A must place visit for anyone in the area, fabulous food, quaint surroundings and wonderful staff. Locals or visitors don't miss out..

We loved this little cafe, the staff were really friendly and I felt very comfortable with my gluten free ciabatta. The staff assured me that it was cooked in a separate area and when I asked about the 'may contain' in the coleslaw, they were...

Small friendly business in a great setting. Lovely food. Homemade pancakes and milkshakes. Seats inside and out. Definitely recommend a visit.

Fantastic food, service and lovely location. Accommodating and friendly people. Most of the furnishings have been tastefully up cycled.

I had a lovely time here, I sat and got a lot of work done from one of their wonderful window seats. I absolutely LOVED the croissants, they were incredible! The staff was so friendly and nice, and the new interior is lovely - the...

A real friendly and welcoming environment with outstanding food. The staff made us feel like family with their warm welcome and comforting food. They have really managed to capture that ‘home from home’ feel to the cafe.
