Found this place by sheer dumb luck and what a surprise it was. From the moment you enter the staff are friendly and welcoming. The place was spotless and homely. I ordered the mega breakfast, chips and black coffee. The food was cooked to perfection and of a really good quality. The portions were way bigger than I imagined ( see photo ) cannot fault any part of the dining experience. Found by accident but will be visiting regularly from now on. Highly recommend a visit or 3

Wonderful place with brilliant service and amazing food! Booked in advance to have an afternoon tea and it was just amazing. Great balance of sweet and savoury which is hard to come by. Go and visit!

Lovely place, hidden gem but worth the hunt. Coffees very spot on and cakes were delicious. Parking on main road so no problem there. Plenty of seating and nice warm atmosphere. Would go again. Offer gluten free and similar.

We absolutely loved this place, we wanted poached eggs but came too late, only wanted a light snack as going out for an evening meal, how lovely to share a brie and cranberry sandwich with crisps and salad, soooo tasty. Had a black coffee and mam had tea for one so lovely, helpful staff, very accommodating and the toilet was a disabled one so my 91 year old mam was over the moon! Weve been before but we will definitely be returning, it had alot to choose from and nice prices ! Dog friendly too

We stopped here for food 18 months ago but forgot to leave a review so while visiting Cockermouth we took the opportunity to pop in for a coffee and cake, the staff are friendly and helpful and the food is fantastic and well worth the money.
