Right in the middle of Ambleside, such a cute place. Caters for all weathers. We only had a cream scone and tea but it was fab. There is a bakery attached so all the food is fresh and looks great. Staff very friendly. Dog friendly too.
We took our little cairn terrier here and in the cafe had chocolate brownie with ice-cream and apple pie and whipped cream, coffee and orange juice. April had a sausage. Food was absolutely delicious and staff very friendly and welcoming .
Went to The Apple Pie Cafe for breakfast and had the full breakfast. Everything was wonderful, great Cumberland sausage, hash browns, etc. Enough to sort you out for your day ahead. Service was swift, efficient and friendly, inside and outside seating around the side of the deli part we got table with ease though imagine in busy periods there may be a wait. Would be worth it though for sure.
The breakfast was so good I am lactose intolerance and the service including the chef who was very efficient the bacon is an extra charge but we'll worth it, coffee was smooth and tasty well worth a visit. Coffee and fresh orange amazing.
The Apple Pie Cafe and Bakery in Ambleside is absolutely amazing. We bought a sourdough loaf, an eclair, and a vanilla slice—and everything was perfect. The sourdough bread was still slightly warm, super fresh, and had the perfect crunchy crust. You could tell it had just been baked that morning. The eclair and vanilla slice were also incredible—so fresh, creamy, and full of flavour. Honestly, some of the best we’ve ever had! The staff were really kind and friendly, and we noticed that not long after we arrived, the place started getting busy—so you can tell it’s a very popular spot. If you’re in Ambleside, this bakery is a must-visit!
Tried the sausage roll & Apple pie with custard & it was so delicious! Service was a lil slow but thts because they were so busy! ( its a good thing after all!) Prices a lil steep but worth the try. Staff were engaging and friendly! Must visit!
Excellent cafe, with a variety of food. The service was excellent and the food very nice. The best Cornish pasty I have had for a long time. You can sit outside or under cover and it has good toilet facilities. There is also an excellent take away bakery attached. Situated in the main area of Ambleside with street parking available nearby. Both the cafe and bakery, worth a visit.
the cafe and bakery are warm and welcoming and modern next to the busy lake and car dark and 2 very busy gastro pubs! they have great staff and menu selections /for eating in or taking away but you MUST GET THE APPLE PIE SUNDAE! u can miss everything else but that! it was lovely to sit without an actual mug of tea and not worry about a dainty cup. now the price is a little higher but we are right near all the action and water so its to be expected.
