Yam Frae Yam Cafe

Stumbled upon this qwerky place whilst driving through Gosforth. Really nice food and service was A1. Can even sit in a bath and eat. See pic lol. If in area pop in

Me and my partner popped in on the off chance as we drove by from Seascale, and what a great decision. Amazing food, incredible service and gorgeous decor. We took our 6 month old pup in with us and she was happy as anything in the calm atmosphere inside. Will definitely be back if we ever pass again.

I really like the place. There is a free public parking around the corner. The interior is recently and rather tastefully refurbished. The staff is welcoming without abundance. The food is... ok and the prices are refreshingly reasonable. But I have to be honest, I am somewhat following my heart giving the place 5 stars, as there is some room for improvement. The food, albeit mostly really tasty and showing masterful flavour combinations, had some obvious (and easy to correct) drawbacks. Burger patties were great, but I did not quite like just-off-the-fridge cold buns. Sandwiches were really high quality and tastefully toasted, but a touch of garnish on a side would make the plate look ten times richer. Latte and cappuccino were just bad, sorry. Over-roasted beans and overheated milk -- had to save the drinks with sugar, which is a bad omen for milky coffees.

Having said all that, I really enjoyed the visit and will be happy to visit again if I am nearby.

Stopped for a coffee on the way to Hardknott then decided to have a cheese, ham and tomato toastie with the soup of the day. The coffee, food and staff were all excellent.

Warm welcome. Fab and quirky cafe. The breakfast was wonderful, especially the sausages 😊 Highly recommended 👍🏻

Best coffee place in whole village/area. Fabulous tasty food. The children loved the sausage sandwiches (they are so picky). It’s very small kitchen so be prepared to wait for food but it’s worth it. If I were the owner I would open from 8am as we were able to check the place on our last day as it was always closed when we were heading for the walks. Once again great food.

Hip little cafe with arty decor and a great menu with lots to choose from. We came for breakfast and really enjoyed it. The staff were really friendly and the breakfasts were excellent. A real gem of a place and we felt lucky to have stumbled across it.

Great coffee. Nice fresh cakes. Bike rack outside. Just what you need to get you up Hardknott.
