About

Cafe Ambio at Whinlatter Forest is set in the beautiful location of Whinlatter Forest, nestled in the treetops. We offer modern cafe food, and brilliant coffee. We use local suppliers to showcase the best food that Cumbria has to offer. Everything that we serve is made onsite from all our cakes, bakes and scones, to sausage rolls, daily specials and the full menu. We have a full range of allergen friendly menu options.

Whinlatter is ideal for walkers, bikers and thrill seekers (Go Ape) and we have a grab and go outlet, offering hot and cold drinks, breakfast buns and cakes for you to take on your adventures!
