Wonderful local café. Staff were lovely, food was exceptional (try the roast beef bagel), fair prices & most importantly.. Great coffee. Also, we loved that this place is called 'Yam Frae Yam', which we've been told means 'Home from home' in Cumbrian dialect 😊
On my way to the Wasdale Head Inn, had a hard couple of days riding but I decided I'd stop at the next place I found.
Just happened to serve up the best fried breakfast I've had in years. Staff friendly and helpful, cute and comfy place to stop.

I really like the place. There is a free public parking around the corner. The interior is recently and rather tastefully refurbished. The staff is welcoming without abundance. The food is... ok and the prices are refreshingly reasonable. But I have to be honest, I am somewhat following my heart giving the place 5 stars, as there is some room for improvement. The food, albeit mostly really tasty and showing masterful flavour combinations, had some obvious (and easy to correct) drawbacks. Burger patties were great, but I did not quite like just-off-the-fridge cold buns. Sandwiches were really high quality and tastefully toasted, but a touch of garnish on a side would make the plate look ten times richer. Latte and cappuccino were just bad, sorry. Over-roasted beans and overheated milk -- had to save the drinks with sugar, which is a bad omen for milky coffees.
Having said all that, I really enjoyed the visit and will be happy to visit again if I am nearby.
