Very expensive £3.45 for 1 cheese scone???? Wants to be something special when I get home to eat it. Update just eaten it nothing special and certainly does not warrant the price

So disappointing. The downstairs area was uncomfortably cold and the speciality scones pistachio and white chocolate were dry and lacking in pistachio and white chocolate.

What a great find, a genuine old tea and coffee house, evidently a merchant?s house from way back. The shop with its enormous selection of teas and coffees is what you come in to first, with more gifts and merchandise up a few stairs out the back. Then if you?re lucky enough to get a table in the cafe, that?s up more stairs but well worth the climb for those of us who can make it. The building itself is a real feature, with creaking old patched together timber floors and timber beams. It meanders upwards for about three or four storeys. If only the building could speak, there would be tales to tell from over the centuries!
We stopped for afternoon tea and had a selection of decaf tea, matcha, Americano coffee and hot chocolate with a couple of pastries from the display case in the shop. Best almond croissant ever, plump and soft with delicious filling.
Heartily recommended for stocking up on teas and coffees and a repast to enliven the traveller!

Great little coffee shop with great service from the staff. I had coffee and Avacado eggs on sour dough and they were great, could have been better if my eggs were soft and runny.

An old-worldy tea shop and cafe. Came here with family the place has character with its decor and origional features of the building giving at a wonky feel. Dogs are allowed in the upstairs seating areas. Although I was able to sit in with crutches there is space outside for those unable to manage the stairs.
The food was delicious i had the sausage which was a proper Cumberland sausage.
There is also a menu of their current specials with vegan options

Fabulous coffee - you can go with recommended or choose your own - and tasty scone. We sat upstairs under the Christmas tree but also seating downstairs. Also lovely shop for treats and gifts. Can't believe we've not been here before in all our years of visiting Kendal. Will be back! Update: We've been back (twice so far!) but on our last visit ended up waiting 20 mins for a table as apparently they close the downstairs at 3.30.....even when there is a queue.....which seems a bit odd! Worth bearing in mind if you are visiting at that time of day.

Lovely quaint place steeped in history!
The house blend coffee was delicious as was the scone! Staff are so friendly and some great products on sale as well.

A very nice tea and coffee house in the centre of Kendal. The menu is diverse and the meals delicious. Very atmospheric. I prefer to eat here when in Kendal.
