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.

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.

Crumb.★★ Specialty

The grab-and-go format undersells what's in the cup. Come for the sourdough, notice the coffee.

Marra★ Everyday

A food-first stop on Branthwaite Brow where Darkwoods' Under Milk Wood runs the espresso bar. The flat white sits above what Kendal's town centre usually manages.
