Over-priced, underwhelming and disappointing doesn?t come close. Full of fighting barking dogs so not welcome for families at all. £7.60 for soup?! A brew is £3.20?!
Completely awful rip off.

Great Veggie dishes - we had squash and dhal dishes and they were imaginative tasty and fresh. Coffee was pretty good too

Love the terrace views, great location. Food is of a high quality & very tasty, Cappuccino's need some work though as not so great

Millionaire shortbread was rubbish and expensive

Visited today after a brilliant visit to the museum ,got given the wrong sandwich which we accepted reluctantly the rare beef was actually roast very tough and stringy inedible.
Took it back and asked for the correct order which by the time it arrived meant our latte's were cold
Staff attitude was indifferent to say the least £29 for very poor service and food not recommended a total rip off no apologies just indifference

Cafe Ambio is a great cafe. It's accessible and adjacent to the nearby Motor museum. The coffee is fantastic and so are the cakes and ice cream. Staff are friendly. The inside and outside are clean and tidy. I found the prices were fair. The cafe outside is immediately next to the river and provides a great view with the sound of the river. I'll be returning to this cafe.

Great food and friendly staff. The only thing to note was that I thought it was a little pricey for a cafe, and there could have been more variety. Other than that, we all enjoyed our meals

Lovely view of the river, even though it was raining when we went. Had one of the best hot chocolates, it was their holiday special with orange.

£9.05 for a take out (mediocre) latte and a slice of burnt Christmas cake! Service was slow, especially as I was the only person I. The queue. The receipt failed to identify itemise the items ordered or provide a breakdown of the individual costs.

We visited the Lakeland Motor Museum on our way home from a holiday in Ravenglass. Before we left the museum grounds we headed into Cafe Ambio and we were so glad we did! The service was friendly and the cafe was warm and welcoming. There is plenty of seating available and accessible toilets. The view where we were sitting was beautiful and very peaceful. I had the soup of the day which was vegetable, it came with a thick slice of soft white bread and two butter packs. It was £7.50. The soup was absolutely delicious and just what I needed on a cold November day. My partner had the smoked salmon open sandwich which we shared because it was SO good. The best smoked salmon, tartar cream cheese and salad I have ever eaten. It was well worth the £12.50 we paid. We took a couple of slices of cake to go and ate them when we got home, they were delicious too. I highly recommend you plan a spot of lunch when you go to the Lakeland Motor Museum!

Nice bright surrounding, helpful staff and nice food and drink. Prices are quite steep for a cafe, more comparable to pub meal prices (eg soup & sandwich is over £12). Good for take-out drinks too - plus a shout out to the 100% recyclable bio friendly plastic tops they use on their take-out cups! Glad to see they are environmentally aware.

Really nice surprise. We had no idea what to expect, but the views over the river are lovely, the cafe is warm, welcoming and had a really nice feel to it. The food arrived arrived quickly and was really good. Chips were better than we've had from some proper chippys.
