Stopped today for a coffee and slice of apple pie. The coffee was delicious and fresh as was the pie, but the best thing about our experience was the warm welcome we received. I will definitely visit again next time I find myself in Ambleside. Highly recommended.

The service is excellent, the range of drinks is amazing and the Goats Cheese and Cranberry Muffin is to die for. If you are in Ambleside and want a very substantial lunch at a very reasonable price, this is the place to go. Apparently, once tried, customers return, and I would certainly agree with that.

Very hospitable owner who was keen to tell us that the mango and coconut smoothie was a new addition to their menu. My son loved it and fought to keep us away it! Delicious carrot cake has brought us back to cafe Treff on several occasions.

Lovely café to stop in for a cup of tea and a cake after a walk round Ambleside. A wide variety of tasty cakes, very nice coffee and proper tea without a tea bag as well as friendly welcoming staff. Well worth a visit
