A riverside stop on the Kent where the founders are still in the room and the coffee earns the visit.

Founders still at the helm, and the cup reflects it.

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.
