"The kitchen runs on Lovingly Artisan sourdough and a sourcing ethic that shows on the plate. Coffee is genuinely good, which makes this a rare brunch stop in Windermere where nothing lets the side down."
Main Rd, Windermere LA23 1DX, UK
Red Bank Coffee, a Cumbrian roaster, on the espresso machine, and a sandwich menu that sources with the same seriousness. The better all-round stop in Windermere.
One of the few places in the Lakes where a cortado is made correctly. Milk temperature calibrated, short drinks without fuss.
Flat whites done with real attention in a town where that's not a given. The baking is serious enough to make this a full stop.
