Restaurante | Ambleside | Inglaterra | Reino Unido

Cafetería tradicional en el Lake District

El "The Apple Pie Cafe and Bakery" en Ambleside, Inglaterra, Reino Unido, es un café y panadería familiar con una rica tradición, que desde su fundación en 1975 ha ocupado un lugar especial en el corazón del Lake District. Situado en la pintoresca ciudad de Ambleside, es un punto de atracción para locales, visitantes habituales y turistas que exploran la belleza del paisaje circundante. El negocio, dirigido por la familia Fielding, ha evolucionado a lo largo de las décadas de un pequeño café con cinco mesas a un próspero establecimiento que ahora cuenta con dos plantas y ofrece no solo comidas en el lugar, sino también una variedad de productos de panadería para llevar. Combina valores tradicionales con un enfoque moderno y ha sido premiado en varias ocasiones por su calidad, siendo considerado uno de los mejores lugares para comer en el Lake District.

Productos de panadería frescos en Ambleside

El menú del café es versátil y pone un gran énfasis en los ingredientes frescos y de origen local. Un verdadero destacado es la "Hot Apple Pie" (tarta de manzana caliente), que se ofrece en dos variantes: simple o enriquecida con especias y pasas. Esta tarta de manzana es un superventas y destaca por su masa mantequillosa y el relleno aromático, que atrae tanto a puristas como a gourmets. Para una comida sustanciosa, el "Cumberland Sausage Pie" (pastel de salchicha de Cumberland) es una elección popular, un pastel contundente con salchicha picante que refleja la cocina regional. También merece mención los "Bath Buns" (bollos de Bath) – estos bollos dulces y ligeramente pegajosos son un clásico, a menudo servidos recién horneados y son un verdadero placer con mantequilla. La oferta de desayuno incluye opciones como el "Vegetarian Breakfast" (desayuno vegetariano) con aguacate, que destaca por sus ingredientes frescos y por porciones generosas. Para terminar, el "Millionaire’s Shortbread" (galleta de millonario), un rico dulce con chocolate y caramelo, satisface perfectamente los antojos dulces.

La panadería es el corazón del negocio, y los productos de panadería se elaboran frescos en el lugar todos los días. Además de los clásicos como panes blancos sencillos o baguettes crujientes, también hay creaciones modernas como panes de masa madre y opciones sin gluten que amplían la oferta. Los sándwiches, elaborados con estos panes, son especialmente populares entre los excursionistas, quienes los llevan en cajas prácticas para disfrutar en el camino. La selección de bebidas también es notable: además de café recién molido, hay limonadas caseras como la "Raspberry Lemonade" (limonada de frambuesa), que refresca en días cálidos, o variaciones de sidra caliente que calientan en climas fríos.

Restaurante familiar con ingredientes locales

La atmósfera en el "The Apple Pie Cafe and Bakery" es acogedora y diversa. El café se extiende por varias áreas de asientos, incluyendo espacios interiores cómodos y un área exterior muy apreciada en días soleados. La decoración es funcional pero encantadora, con un toque de rusticidad que invita a relajarse. El restaurante es apto para familias, con tronas y un menú amigable para niños, y se preocupa por la accesibilidad a través de una entrada lateral. El servicio es amable y eficiente, caracterizado por un equipo que ha estado presente durante décadas, lo cual le da un toque personal al lugar.

Cafetería acogedora con menú para niños

Una característica especial es la conexión con la comunidad local y el énfasis en la sostenibilidad. Los ingredientes proceden, siempre que sea posible, de proveedores locales – desde el carnicero hasta el lechero y el molinero – y la cocina experimenta continuamente con nuevas recetas para mantener la oferta fresca. Además del café y la panadería, el negocio también ofrece alojamiento, incluyendo habitaciones elegantes sobre la panadería y casas de vacaciones cercanas, lo que lo convierte en una experiencia integral para los visitantes.

Friendly staff and delicious food - pastries, sandwiches and all! It is usually very busy, but it's all very efficient.

Really enjoyable food and a reasonably varied selection. Children’s menu needs more healthy options , as there is too much fried foods. General service was prompt and food was great with good sized portions. Prices very reasonable. Can’t comment on rooms as only attended for lunch.

Unable to comment on rooms as we only used the café. Service was quick and efficient and the food and drinks were good. The toasted bath buns were so good that we visited their bakery to buy some to take home with us.

One of the best places I’ve been for labelling which cakes are vegan, and there was real choice as to what to have. The spiced apple pie was epic, and the black coffee was really good, it genuinely takes real talent to make a great tasting takeaway black coffee. Lovely

I didn't stay over at the hotel, but I did go to the cafe to get drink and a dessert. I got the vine fruit loaf and spiced apple juice, both of which were lovely!

We have been coming here on an off since we started at Charlotte Mason College back in 1990! It really is a must visit if you are in Ambleside. The breakfasts in particular are sensational and we always grab one of their filled rolls before heading out for a walk. Some of the staff have been working there for a LONG time, (Martin for example!) which says a lot about both the place and the owner.

Friendly service both in the cafe & bakery. Delicious and fresh breakfast. Nicest Cumberland sausages I’ve ever had. Their shop is so cute too, we bought one of their apple pies and some flapjacks, both delicious! Would consider coming back to the Lake District just to visit here 🍏

This cafe is excellent! My wife, my 2 month old son and I came into this cafe today and had a cornish pasty, the chaat chip sharer and an apple pie and they were all delicious. The service was brilliant as well and they were very accommodating to us all. I would definitely recommend it 😁

Visiting Ambleside for the umpteenth time but first breakfast here in this cafe. Came with Jorvic's cousin Deric who rarely goes anywhere. In season people queue to eat here. No queue on a late January Wednesday. Card only payment and asks for a tip before even served. Very odd! ( There is a tip jar where cash is welcome, of course.) Prices in Ambleside reflect the tourist trade. A first for me, the full Lakeland breakfast at £12 does not include bacon, £2 extra. ( bit like the B&B'sb that are bed only, no breakfast!) Actually ordered the breakfast bun at £8.50 and curried beans, bombay mix and spinach at £9. Coffee £3.20. Surprisingly large cafe. 3 rooms plus outside seating. Enjoyed the food but not the set up.

We stopped here for a cup of tea and a cake, the front of the shop looked promising with delicious looking cakes displayed in the window, however this was just the bakery, and the cafe was accessed around the side. We were seated by the staff, who to their credit were pleasant and friendly, and given a menu. We did feel that the prices were quite high at almost £6 each for a brownie and a slice of apple pie, however ordered hoping to be impressed by what we were served. Unfortunately the brownie was tiny and quite dry, and accompanied by tasteless and icy gritty ice cream and the slice of spiced sultana apple pie turned out to be a small square of pie rather than a generous slice, which was reasonably pleasant in taste but very unremarkable, served with some rather tasteless and synthetic like whipped cream. Far from the home made tasty generous portions we hoped for given the price. Had the portions been smaller than expected but clearly high in quality and taste we would not be leaving this rating in our review. We understand that the cost of everything has gone up for businesses, and we don't mind paying more for quality but this was not. The whole experience had the feel of catering for tourists with more money than sense, and paying just over £17 for two mugs of Yorkshire tea and two mediocre traybake cakes left us feeling very disappointed. Not good value for money and just another generic tourist trap among many in the town, which only seems to have overpriced eating places and endless outdoor shops, no real atmosphere despite having some lovely buildings and scenery, a real shame. We would not return to this cafe or to Ambleside.

Stopped by for food before a hike and came back for round 2 the next day! Great sandwiches - they come in a cardboard tray so didn't get squashed in our bags on the way up a mountain. Across the days we had coffees, spiced apple slice, lemon and blueberry frangipane, scones and sandwiches, all great, highly recommend.

Stopped here on our way through the lakes. Friendly and accommodating staff, nicely decorated space which is accessible for dogs. The apple pie was gorgeous, decent portion and quick service. Would definitely recommend a visit if passing through.
