The Pier Cafe - Piatti

Having had a tranquil boat cruise on Windermere,stopped off here for a snack of teacakes which had a lovely cinnamon flavour and a hot drink,just watching the world go sailing by. A lovely warm welcome and we'll decorated for Christmas.Very helpful and cheerful staff.

This is a nice little cafe, right on a the pier ferry terminal. It’s an ideal place to have a tea and cake whilst waiting for the ferry. It’s clean and tidy and has a good selection of food and drinks at reasonable prices. It has lovely views out over Windermere and the mountains. Will definitely return.

Took a boat ride from Windermere over to Ambleside and grabbed a spot of lunch at this cafe. It was lovely and cosy to get in from the cold. Sat by the window with a beautiful, breathtaking view of the lake and revived great service and food. Would recommend to anyone who wants to grab something to eat and take a break from walking around the lakeside. Visualizza piatti

Comfortable cafe on the pier at Ambleside Pier. Good range of snacks and light meals; lovely views over the lake and can sit watching steamers come and go. Staff friendly and welcoming. Food takes a little time to arrive as it is all freshly made to order, but high quality ingredients nicely presented, reasonable prices. Dogs welcome inside and outside picnic tables and the café is exceptionally clean.

We ' d been there before , but they must have changed the opening times, we arrived at about 8.30 hoping for breakfast after a trip from the midlands ,it was open last year but staff at the pier weren 't sure when it would be open, one of the staff said about 9 o 'clock, or just after ..they opened about 9.15, we felt we were a nuisance, rather than customers. We won 't go there again next year, a dissapointing start to our holiday.

Called at the Pier Café Bar twice, once for lunch and once for afternoon coffee.Service was fine and the drinks were realistically priced.Lunch was very satisfying and reasonably priced. The view from the café across Windermere to the fells beyond are superb and well worth taking in.Parking is adjacent to the café, but will cost you £2.Great place to wait for the ferries if you are taking a cruise.Toilets on the pier are very clean, if a little basic.

Stopped off here for a quick drink after we arrived in Ambleside. Sun was shining so I opted for a milkshake. Unfortunately they did not have my favourite to vanilla left so I opted for a strawberry one. It was really nice and served in an old fashion 1950s style glass. dogs are not allowed in here but there was a bowl of water outside for them. Cafe is right next to the cruise terminal which is handy if you're a bit early for your boat. They had stopped serving food by the time we arrived which was approximately 4.30-5PM.

My husband, two children and parents have just visited this cafe. Its location looking on to Lake Windermere is spectacular and the coffee and scones were delicious. However, the whole experience was ruined by the absolutely appalling attitude and service by the person who served us. He was unwelcoming, rude and sarcastic. His whole approach was not only unprofessional, but totally unacceptable and inappropriate in a customer-facing setting like this one.Whilst we realise he may be having a bad day we would urge him to remember that his customers are more than likely to be on holiday and would appreciate a smile at the very least.

Stopped off here for a coffee and tea with my girlfriend after we'd rode down on the motor boats and treated ourselves, the weather was glorious and a very summery atmosphere. The coffee and tea were lovely and the coffee and tea were made and bought locally which was nice. I would Give it a 5* but the cakes we bought let it down just a touch, I ordered a Bakewell tart and I didn't enjoy it, the fondant icing was an inch thick and the pastry were dry, I am a pastry chef so as you can tell I like bakewells but it weren't my cup of tea. The place is lovely and well worth going if your going to or through Ambleside! Avoid the bakewells though if your not to keen on icing as there's a lot of it. Visualizza piatti
