"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."
Unit 7 Blackhall Rd, Kendal LA9 4LU, UK
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 roast in Kendal and sell direct from the roastery. The Summit Special arrives before it stops degassing.
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.
