Best KPortal Reviews
I came here yesterday with my dog, having walked from Wray Castle. The carrot cake and flat white were amazing. Plus, as I sat outside, I made friends with the local birds who wanted some of my cake. Very cute.
Yummy vegetarian pasty and some cakes. Great little cafe and seating area outside.
On arriving I was faced over the counter by a young man who just stood and stared at me. When you arrive at any venue for the first time you would like a moment to take in the surroundings and see what is on offer. He made me so uncomfortable that I just ordered a coffee. During the time he was preparing the drink it gave me a moment to look around and I noticed most food items were leaning toward vegetarian and vegan and I don't think it right that the National Trust should dictate to us what we should eat. When I sat down at an inside table, a laminated sign was tied to the table requesting we clear the table and use the bins provided. This doesn't take into account that the table was covered in crumbs and foodstuff left by previous diners. I would have cleared the table if I hadn't been rudely prompted and so left my cardboard cup and sugar packet wrappers on the table as my silent protest. Shall not be returning. Such a shame, as when I got off the ferry this cafe looked a quaint magical place and I was looking forward to a pleasant experience after scaling Claife Heights. What a disappointment.
This was an unexpectedly amazing find, one of the best cafes I've ever been to. Joey is an extremely skillful cook and it looks like he invested a great amount of time into everything that he does. You will find various types of vegan and vegetarian pasties, cakes and drinks (even Joey's Cafe beer!), all home made with his own twist. By the time we finished our little treat we regretted eating breakfast before coming, since we wanted to try many more things!
Really nice little cafe, if you're heading to the viewing point I would absolutely recommend a visit.
The pasties were excellent and rank as some of the best I've ever eaten, a chickpea and bhaji pasty had never occurred to me beforehand but now I wonder how I ever managed before!
Drinks were both good, flat white was well made. Everyone was friendly and pleasant.
I cannot stress enough how enjoyable it was having the local birds (mainly robins and bluetits) come and land on the table with us. They were so friendly and it was something you rarely experience and a lovely moment all round.
The only potential downside is the lack of a toilet and the pricing. However, they do have a signpost directing you to a nearby toilet so it's fairly a non-issue, along with the location being the sort of place you wouldn't expect a toilet anyway really. Equally with the price, the excellent location does usually come with a higher price - as it does here. Regardless, I would definitely love to come again and highly recommend it!
10 minute walk from the ferry. We were delighted to find Joey's Café on the way to Claife viewing point. We had vegan sausage roll and vegan no steak bake. Both were warm out of the oven and tasty. All the cakes looked delicious too. Ideal stopping point for walkers and cyclists.
Lovely little spot close to a picturesque Windermere lookout. Was pleasantly surprised to find out that everything was vegan. Only downside is that there are no toilets onsite. Luckily there are some a short walk away
A large selection of freshly baked items including cakes, hot pasties and pizza slices, along with a lot of different drink options.
There are a few seats inside should the weather not be good, or there are plenty of seats alongside the building, or around the front of the castle.
It is operated separately to the National Trust.
Some of the food and drink was reasonably priced, however, some seemed to be quite expensive, e.g. a small sausage roll for £4.00.
