"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."
46 Branthwaite Brow, Kendal LA9 4TX, 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.
