The Garden Cafe and Takeaway

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.

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

Visitor

Nikki and Bryan 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 ice creams!

A dab hand in the kitchen, Nikki makes wonderful soups, salads, sandwiches and pastries. 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.

Bryan and son Rory make the most delicious, light and airy cakes such as Victoria sponge, chocolate, and lemon cake – heaven on a plate!
