Pours Podda and Wren, a Kendal-based roaster, and that sourcing choice puts it above the default for the area. Good for a coffee stop; honest about what it is.

The one Kendal stop that chose its roaster on purpose.

What we love

  • Podda and Wren in the cup, a Kendal-based roaster and a deliberate sourcing choice
  • Independent neighbourhood cafe, no chain affiliations
  • As well known for cake as for coffee, which tells you something about the crowd

Red Bank Coffee Roasters★★ Specialty

A working roastery you can walk into, with named single-origin lots on the counter and staff who roasted every one of them. This is a sourcing-led operation, not a cafe that happens to stock bags.

Penningtons Tea & Coffee Ltd.★★ Specialty

Penningtons roast in Kendal and sell direct from the roastery. The Summit Special arrives before it stops degassing.

Podda & Wren Coffee Roasters★★ Specialty

Podda & Wren roast on-site in Elephant Yard, and the flat white you order here is the source product before it heads out to the rest of the Lakes.
