Arguably the best cafe in Grasmere. The owners are always very warm and welcoming, and excellent customer service comes as standard. A good reasonably priced menu full of delicious food and drinks. My go-to place for breakfast or lunch or just to grab a quick espresso before heading to the nearby fells. Highly recommended 👌
Very good range of food - both vegetarian, vegan and omnivore.
Food is well presented. Cafe is small and staff are friendly and efficient. Outdoor seating is available. Wheelchair access is easy.
Take away menu available.
We were welcomed in at 3.30 pm on a rainy April day, when all the other cafes and restaurants in Grasmere had turned us away or closed their doors. We were soaking as were our dogs but Greens turned out to be a haven for the tired walker, looking for wholesome nourishment.
We met the lovely Karen, the owner, who left a London life to create something special in the lakes, a more wholesome and healthy offering than your average.
Generous portions arrived, seemingly all home made. I had a very simple but delicious chicken and humous sandwich accompanying a thick warming red lentil soup. Followed by a glorious slice of their home-made Bakewell tart, made with an abundance of ground almond, less sugar and hence healthier than anything you would buy commercially (or even in Bakewell, where I had recently been).
The staff (Karen’s offspring?) were lovely and attentive, and showed our dogs a lot of love.
We left feeling that fate had handed us a winning card in bringing us to Greens!
