I have noticed The Apple Pie Cafe a few times as I passed through Ambleside and finally decided to give it a try while looking for afternoon tea during a recent visit to the Lake District. Their menu prominently features Our Famous Apple Pie, so I had to order it. I chose the version with mixed spice and sultanas, and it exceeded all expectations. The pastry was light and crumbly, the Bramley apples were deliciously tangy, and the spices and sultanas added a festive touch. It was possibly the best apple pie I have ever had. I will definitely be returning to enjoy it again on my next visit to the Lake District in December. Additionally, the cafe also offers B&B and self-catering accommodation...
Amazing food we had bean burger, falafel wrap, bacon brie and cranberry toasty and a steak baguette. The food was all lovely especially my toasty and the falafel. We asked for steak baguette with no mustard mayo and received normal mayo instead so our fault. The steak was so plentiful my little brother didn't realise until he had nearly finished. Exceptional mains delicious desserts would seriously recommend the vanilla slice and winter warmer spiced apple juice and gin. Lovely visit have been before and sure will be back again soon.
Came in today noticed everywhere queue here exit here this side only one to go counter to order ?? My lord it's a cafe and not the best for me. Ordered scone and tea hubby ordered cappuccino and donut. Tea came in cup with bag in no teapot. Scone was ok but not warmed nothing special. Small very small cup cappucino docnut was nice to be fair. Would I go back no for 16 pound had alot better in other cafes.
Every time my wife and I go to the Lakes we have to go to the Apple Pie cafe in Ambleside. We last went in September. I had the Plain Apple Pie with English Lakes Vanilla Ice Cream, which was very tasty. My wife had the Mixed Spice and Sultana Apple Pie with the same ice cream. She was pleased with her selection. The service was quick and there is a good vibe in the cafe.

What a find. Had no previous knowledge of this beautiful cafe but was certainly impressed. The food was excellent but the main thing that stood out was the friendliness and helpful staff. All the staff are young and look very happy in their work which made the whole atmosphere and experience such a pleasure. Thank you to all
Very excellent lunch, everything was better than I can do at home. The quiche was superb. Salads delicious, as was the open sandwich with tomato chutney. The staff were all welcoming and friendly. All in all lovely.
We queued in the morning to have breakfast and it did not disappoint! Great portions from local suppliers and the atmosphere was lovely too. Dog friendly which is always a plus!
Probably the best Eccles cake I’ve ever had! Crunchy sugar topping, layers of crisp, flaky pastry and soft, succulent raisins. Really nice Bath. Buns too.

Always good. We had a quick lunch. Hot drinks, soups and sandwiches. It’s fresh, turned around quickly. Ever popular. The apple pie is good too!
Very friendly staff who make you feel very welcome. Food is ok for the price you pay but nothing spectacular.
