Lovely helpful staff who showed us to a table in the large outside garden. Service was leisurely but they were busy and we were not in a hurry. Very good sandwiches with a great side salad in a little bowl and tasty coleslaw. Good value for a tourist hot spot. Felt very safe and a nice place to relax after a long walk.
The cake was great and the staff are happy and pleasant. The cafe is located centrally within Ambleside. There are steps to all entrances, however if you head in from the top of the hill there are only 2 steps as opposed to 2 full flights of stairs in from the high street. Very nice medium flowing stream by the outside seating.
A lovely little café, there were plenty of seating options (outside in the shade or not, or a quieter corner table inside or larger low table. Staff were excellent and very welcoming, would have loved to have had a cake as they looked fantastic but we were still full from our lunches earlier!
They also have a dog wall of fame, absolutely wonderful (see photo!)
We popped in here for a coffee and scone. We sat outside with our dogs, dog water was already out. The scones were lovely, slightly warm with a fresh baked taste to them. The coffee was perfect too. It was just what we needed. The staff member was also very helpful. Would definitely call in again.
Great iced lattes, really creamy. Beautiful scones. Lovely garden area and dog friendly.
Really enjoyed my time in the Giggling Goose Cafe. Lovely food and very friendly staff. Fantastic location by the river makes the place even more attractive. It is a shame about very run down outdoor sitting area and overgrown, weedy garden.
The worst Costomer service ever.
They ask us to leave.
We have order 3 American and tea with 2 cakes and we grab sandwiches from another cafe and they say we have to leave id we eat the sandwiches.
AVOID! I have never experienced such rude staff! Walked up the path and stood outside of the café door waiting for my wife before heading in for coffee and a snack when this member of staff marched up to me and demanded rudely, "can I help you?". I answered no thanks, and that i was waiting for my wife. His reply startled me........"well you can't wait here, it's private property!". I looked around and saw there was nobody else there. I simply pointed out that they might want to alter their approach as people clearly had to pass over their "private property" in order to get to the café door. The fact the everyone else was avoiding it told me I wasn't the first to encounter such rudeness....and I can see there are other reviews stating such. TOP TIP: go to Apple Pie Café & Bakery....far, far better! Great staff, great coffee, great freshly made snacks & pies!
