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!
Very friendly staff and great food! Definitively a gem in this town🌟
We ordered lamb curry flatbead with additional vegetable soup as part of the meal and an open sandwich - Rarebit with Attitude.
Everything tasted delicious but I was most surprised by Rarebit with Attitude, it was so good!!! Sweet and savoury open sandwich that I wish I could eat it everyday😍
Definitely coming back if I come to the town again👍🏻
Perfect stop at the beginning or end of a walk. I'd like to come back for a proper meal here at some point. The lunch smelled amazing in the cafe.
We stopped for some cake and tea. They gave us extra hot water, had a hot vegan brownie (among other vegan options) and when my parents in law got a piece of cake that had a big hole in the bottom (from a baking bubble) they gave them a second piece to make up for eat. The staff were really generous and friendly, and I'd give them more than 5* if I could.
Great place for lunch, very helpful and friendly staff and the food tasted amazing. I had a gluten free tuna toastie and crisps!
Wonderful cafe serving excellent lunch options with a lovely shaded patio. We came after a tough hike on a hot day with our dog and enjoyed Buddha bowls and rhubarb sparkles with really nicely flavoured falafels and hummus. Service was very lovely, especially to our parched dog who gladly accepted their offer of a dog bowl with water. We’re already thinking of coming back tomorrow.
Update: we came back the next day and ordered takeaway salad and a sandwich. It made the perfect picnic for our hike. Huzzah.
Lovely clean tidy place, the child's picnic platter was amazing. As we're the cheese scones with cheese and chutney. Food was great, well presented, tasty with prompt service. Prices reasonable too.
A brilliant place to eat with a great top class menu choice of very delicious food, creatively prepared, all at a reasonable price. We had lunch here
Fab place to stop in for lunch and a coffee. Great selection of gluten free food, soup and cakes! Staff were very helpful. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Also restrooms available
