Decided to go here for a hot chocolate as we’d heard good things and it was pouring with rain, plus it was meant to be a holiday treat, but we were so disappointed. £10.90 for two regular hot chocolates!! We had high expectations given the menu and price but the drinks were quite small and the cups were dirty. They came with a dry finger cake and “fresh fruit” which meant three slices of under ripe strawberry (it’s October!). The hot chocolate is extremely strong and sickly. We didn’t stay long as it wasn’t particularly warm, and then the person behind the counter let their dog off the lead and let it roam free. It settled on one of the customer chairs licking one of the tables. Honestly I couldn’t wait to get back out into the rain! Wouldn’t go back.

The best cocktail bar in the area by far, the skilled and friendly staff are happy to create any of your favorites even if it's not on the menu. We live locally and recommend this place to anyone visiting Bowness, the drinks really are a step above any other cocktail bars in the area.

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.

I go there in my first time trip in last week. I spend 2 hours and take some beer with my partner. We really enjoy the time. I'll come here again.

I work nearby and discovered this place recently. I now go often because it's the best place to grab lunch. So much choice (and I'm a picky eater!), good prices, and a really nice environment. The food itself is delish and I always look forward to my lunch break. Super lovely staff too who are kind and helpful - would recommend!

Amazing. Shop like an exhibition... . Keep returning . Peaceful. Coffee good too

Went in after I missed breakfast one morning and can't wait to go back! The staff at Mio Mondo were so nice and patient with me while I was choosing. I'm a picky eater so it was appreciated that I had time to choose, food came out piping hot and was so good! Their homemade cakes were delicious as well! 🍰

Had a roast beef Sunday lunch, food was really good just a little cold and could have done with more vegetables! Husband had sirloin steak cooked well enjoyed. Portions are pretty generous. Staff friendly and service was good. Dogs are allowed in the restaurant area which I am not keen on! But would eat here again

Great place! Lovely atmosphere, I would of rated it higher but it was bloody freezing in there! I feel the cold , so had to sit with my mega thick ski coat on as I couldn’t get warm, my husband eventually asked the staff if they could put the heating on but they said it wasn’t working, they did come and put the fire on when asked so I moved nearer , but it didn’t give any heat off at all! We would of stayed longer but decided to leave and go to another place which we knew was warm and cosey, so come on easy breeze get the heating on for us guys who hate the cold!

We only ended up here because the 2 pubs up the road were closing(10pm) There was 7 of us all 70 somethings so hardly rowdy and would have spent a fair bit on drinks. They did us a huge favour, it was alovely friendly place geared up for families with games on the tables,drinks were good and reasonable for the area. We do get fed up with the lakes complaining about the lack of tourists but they make little effort to encourage custom with the restricted opening and reluctance to take largish reservations for meals So we were extremely pleased to find this little gem

Such a relaxing atmosphere, never seems to be overcrowded, unless we've just been lucky. But we had plenty of room to move around and lots of space to have a conversation without being on top of the next table. Ate here a few times, lunch, dinner and breakfast on different days and all good, but the full Willow breakfast is wow. And the gamon steak is delicious. Im looking forward to going back next year. Staff are so polite and really go out their way to help. Great place.

If you're looking for a coffee I'd absolutely swerve this place. If you want a cup of hot milk, fire on. Never tried the food so I can't say anything about that bar the cakes looked good. I did get a couple of flat whites, except I'm pretty sure they forgot to add the espresso. The smell of coffee was stronger than what was in it.

Delicious pub grub. Had Yorkshire pudding envy when the next table got served GIANT sized puddings with their meat course.

Heard about this place for many years. So small. Waiters brilliant. Cocktails very poor. So small. It worth the money. Not impressed

Beautiful place, great wall decor. Generous and delicious meals. Wow factor was history of the building and amazing service from Stacey. Will definitely return and would recommend.
