A working tea and coffee merchant since 1819, with a retail counter that's still the point of the room. Ask about the Ethiopian range; staff can match an origin to a taste preference on the spot.

Trading coffee since 1819, and the staff still know what they're selling.

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.

Duende Coffeehouse★ Everyday

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.
