The cutest cafe with the most gorgeous cakes and bakes. I took a few cakes home with me because I couldn't choose - i wish I could have taken more if I had known how lovely the food food was! In a stunning village with beautiful things to see around it too.

Couldn’t fault it. This was my first Michelin experience. Every single dish was beautiful. The price is actually cheap for how amazing the food is. Well worth it.

What a gem! The service was nothing but great! Really friendly and welcoming. My partner and I had full breakfasts which were really nice. While waiting the waiter popped over to show off a freshly baked quiche. Couldn't resist and ordered a sliced to go. Once ready to pay we have spotted all the lovely cakes on display. Couldn't resist either and got couple to t/a. Amazing!!! Lemon drizzle 😍 I would love an option for hash brown with my breakfast, but that's because on top of cakes I love potatoes ;) Hash browns or not its a must visit when around Ambleside!!! Also coffee is yum!

Busy cafe with lovely cosy atmosphere. Managed to get a seat inside within 5 minutes. Aiden was very welcoming and efficient. Food was lovely and good quality. Cakes looked delicious but didn't try. Coffee is amazing if that's all you need. Enjoy

An absolutely fantastic and inventive meal served by friendly staff in a great little location. To find this level of food and ambience in Ambleside was a real treat.

Superb food. Dodd’s is a regular when we visit. You can’t book but the food is always well prepared, great choice; good atmosphere and friendly staff. You will always enjoy your meals here. It gets busy so you may have to wait for a table particularly at the weekends

Fantastic restaurant with a wide range of lunch options including for gluten free and children. Friendly staff and really tasty food.

Abysmal experience at Baldry's yesterday. We live in Cumbria and have taken friends there in the past as the food and staff have been good. Yesterday, as is sometimes the case, there was a queue and people were waiting for seats to become available. A member of staff frequently appeared at the door but failed to communicate to anyone in the queue that the restaurant was closing early. After some 20 minutes of queuing she eventually spoke up, having wasted the time of my group plus people queuing ahead of us and behind us. This prompted an uncharacteristic exchange from me but without any acknowledgement from the staff member that through her thoughtlessness and utter incompetence, she had wasted what probably amounted to over an hour of people's time. To potential customers...be aware of the utter lack of respect and customer service you may encounter at this place. To the owners of this establishment...you are ultimately responsible for how your staff treat customers and if you place customer engagement anywhere near business profitability will ensure this is addressed to prevent future potential customers having their time wasted through the sheer incompetence of the staff you employ.

Lovely warm welcome and efficient service. Gorgeous lunch and a decent coffee and yummy cake. Highly recommended.

A really lovely little cafe in Grasmere. The staff were super welcoming and friendly and service was efficient. The food was delicious! Just what we needed after a chilly morning walk. Reasonably priced too and the cafe itself is cosy and clean. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely lunch!

Great food and great view although left heartbroken when closed on our last day. I only ever come here for you scone and hot chocolate but now left in pieces with my heart astray. God bless hope you open soon. P.S do delivery to fife will pay

Great cafe in the centre of Grasmere and perfect for lunch after a long walk. I had the swedish meatballs which were delicious. They also serve lovely cakes too.

Very friendly staff and brilliant food. The Hawkeshead chicken and pesto sandwich is excellent!

We have been to the picnic box on many occasions now, every time we visit Ambleside! We normally buy jacket potatoes and the home-made fillings are amazing both in quantity and quality. The overall price of the food makes this an extremely good value lunch. We will continue to use this as as our go to lunch when in Ambleside

This is a perfect stop after walking from Ambleside to Stock Ghyll Waterfalls. The food was very good (we had Carrot Cake and a Salted Caramel Brownie) and the view from the Terrace was absolutely stunning. Plenty of tables to choose from and we noticed that as other visitors arrived and had been seated they all got up to look at the view!
