It's a gem in Grasmere!! The staff are polite and welcoming to customers. Their sausage roll is really yummy, the mocha and hot chocolate are exceptionally rich with pretty coffee art on it🥰

Had coffee (cappuccino and flat white) with a cinnamon roll - coffees were great. Cinnamon roll was delicious and more like the bread of a brioche rather than a Swedish cinnamon bullar, but it was delicious. Nice to sit inside at the window out of the rain.

Utterly delicious homemade sausage roll and wonderful, moist coconut & choc chip cake, local coffee superb. A gorgeous little spot after a big walk to Alcock Tarn, sitting at one of their 2 outdoor tables. I'm in love with Grasmere, and this little cafe, away from the busier part of the village, is really top notch quality and atmosphere.

What an amazing experience at Lucia’s . The food was great especially the sausage roll with chilli jam and the focaccia. But the show stopper was the coffee art done by this incredible barista whose name I forgot to ask. I have never seen a swan on a cappuccino and a bunny rabbit…More reviews
What an amazing experience at Lucia’s . The food was great especially the sausage roll with chilli jam and the focaccia. But the show stopper was the coffee art done by this incredible barista whose name I forgot to ask. I have never seen a swan on a cappuccino and a bunny rabbit on a cortado ….fantastic!! And then you can’t go wrong with the views around here. Overall had a great time at Lucia’s and would highly recommend a coffee if you around.

Coffee was fantastic. Really, really good. It's so hard to get a decent flat white round here and this was as good as any. Had the sausage roll with mustard and it was excellent, not dry at all unlike a lot of delicatessen sausage rolls. Would have rather had the focaccia but apparently they don't get them in until midday.

Coffee was amazing! The focaccia sandwiches and sausage rolls were exceptional — the flavours complemented each other perfectly. And the sweet treats? Absolutely unforgettable — we were still talking about them days later!

Great little place with tasty food made on site and freshly brewed coffee. Welcoming and helpful staff too. Sausage rolls were top notch. Access: level access into the cafe but may be a little tight for larger wheelchairs. A couple of tables outside with space for a wheelchair and movable benches.

Amazing food every visit, consistently. The best sourdough in the lakes, made by the owners on site. Everything is handmade on site and delicious, can tell it’s good quality ingredients and considering that, all super fairly priced. Just had the BEST hot cross bun of my life! The bacon sandwich in the focaccia is also a must. To be honest, everything is great. Love.

Stopped for a pit stop here the other week on our walk in the lakes. 100% best coffee in Grasmere. Don't get me started on the sausage rolls! They were UNREAL! The cakes and other savoury items looked delicious too. Friendly staff and great service. Would definitely recommend if you're in need of a good coffee!
