The carrot cake is the best I've had, moist and very tasty, yum!

Cappuccino (£3), carrot cake (£3.50)

storage

There's no bike locks/racks but the wall and small terrace outside are enough to keep an eye on your bike

groups

Very limited space outdoors with around eight tables inside, during the summer months it may be hard to find a seat but perhaps take out and enjoy by the shore of Windermere?

location

Bowness-on-Windermere is in the centre of the Lake District and and ideal stopping point for those hilly rides
