  1. Force Cafe, Ambleside
    Cafés Time for a brew

You are here: Home > Food and Drink > Cafés

Cafés

It’s time for tea – and we’ve got just the place. Explore charming cafes and tea rooms across the Lake District, Cumbria, each inviting you to pause, relax, and take in the scenery. From traditional tearooms to modern coffee shops, serving everything from home-baked cakes to all-day brunches, there’s something for every taste.

Our cafe culture is thriving: we've got contemporary cafes serving brunch and flat whites, traditional tea rooms with bags of charm, scenic spots to enjoy a spot of lunch, and places to enjoy afternoon tea across Cumbria, too.

Menus celebrate the best of local flavour, with time honoured local specialities like Rum Nicky and Cumberland sausage butties alongside creative dishes and stylish interiors. Catch up with friends over a locally roasted coffee or grab your food to go and enjoy it beside a lake or on a fell.

From hearty breakfasts and freshly baked pastries to cream teas and light lunches, cafes in the Lake District, Cumbria, make for great places to refuel while you explore. Whether you're pausing for a mid-walk treat, stopping for a brew while exploring a museum or heritage attraction (many have their own on site cafes), or lingering over a leisurely brunch, you'll find cosy spots full of warmth, flavour and Cumbrian character.
