"A riverside stop on the Kent where the founders are still in the room and the coffee earns the visit."
No-Hands Rest Coffeehouse, Unit 26 Riverside Place, Kendal LA9 7FH, 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.
