The Garden Cafe

The Garden Cafe and Takeaway at the Quaker Tapestry Museum

Open 10.30am-3.30pm, Wednesday-Saturday.      Closed 16th and 17th March for refurbishment

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Kendal, the Garden Cafe is a three minute walk from Kendal’s Market Square. A relaxing place to meet friends or colleagues. When the weather is good you can sit outside within earshot of the town bells, or sit on one of the benches in the Meeting House Peace Garden. In a hurry? Take your order away to enjoy at work or home or why not sit in one Kendal’s many scenic spots admiring Kendal Castle or The River Kent.

”There’s a strong community feel and always a warm welcome”

Nikki and Bryan, the owners, have a passion for plant based food and for sourcing local supplies… such as speciality breads, coffee, fresh fruit and veg and not forgetting delicious English Lakes ice creams!

”The pasties were scrumptious! It also felt really good supporting a family run business with a zero waste ethos. We will definitely be back”

A dab hand in the kitchen, Nikki cooks up wonderful homemade soups, flat breads, pastries and crepes. Her dishes always use ingredients that are in season, the result being a varied menu that includes daily specials to tempt you, including gluten free options.

”We loved the chocolate cake. Delicious!!”

Bryan and son Rory make the most delicious, light and airy cakes such as Victoria sponge, chocolate, and lemon cake – their Bakewell tart has to be tasted to be believed – heaven… on a plate!
