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.

Red Bank Coffee Roasters★★ Specialty

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 Tea & Coffee Ltd.★★ Specialty

Penningtons roast in Kendal and sell direct from the roastery. The Summit Special arrives before it stops degassing.

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.
