A little gem in the heart of Windermere. A very warm welcome. Delicious food all cooked fresh. My partner even got a warm chocolate brownie for her birthday, which was delicious. Dogs and kids also welcome which is always nice. Well done guys 👏🏼

From the warm welcome from Karen and Jayden to the best breakfast in the lakes. Would 💯 recommend a visit to Brambles as you arrive as a customer and leave feeling like visiting friends. For a solo traveller this is the best experience you can get. The full breakfast and flapjack are recommended, my second visit in 2 days and will be in every day. Thanks guys for making me and my girls feel so welcome.

The prices are really reasonable, which is always a bonus in the Lakes. I’d highly recommend the Philly cheese steak sandwich/toastie—it was absolutely delicious! The brownies are also amazing, and they do homemade soup too, which isn’t on the menu, so you have to ask about it (like a fun little secret dish!). The lady who owns and runs the café is so friendly and welcoming—she really creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to come back again. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Just been here today for lunch (3 adults and friendly spaniel). The lady has just taken the business on for herself. The breakfast wrap was huge. The shared meat & cheese platter was excellent. We were offered a free refill for our tea & extras to our platter if we wanted it. Friendly service, reasonable prices. We would definitely return.

Met Karen the owner of the cafe, very welcoming and accommodating to meeting my mums needs who has celiac disease. We both shared a platter of mixed meats and cheeses, food was great, the cafe is a lovely place to sit in or out, and the service is how a business should be run. Definitely would recommend anyone visiting Windermere, to eat here.

An amazing cafe on the side of Main Rd. Karen the owner clearly shows dedication to all her customers. The food was excellent, black puddings were well cooked and the bacon wonderfully crisp. Highly recommend when visiting Windermere.

Beautiful eatery that we always look at when in Windermere but it's not open on Mondays or Tuesdays so must remember for future. Lovely atmosphere with very welcoming staff and nothing is too much trouble. Highly recommend Brambles for snacks meals or drinks. I hope our server is called Sharon apologies if wrong. Until next time 👍👏💞
