The Apple Pie is a smashing place in the heart of the Lake District.
It is a colourful, cosy and friendly café which does a roaring trade. Surely no passer-by can resist the cheery facade.
There are a few different places to sit, including an outdoor area.
It is perhaps less of a coffee shop and more about the food, particularly from the well stocked bakery. So best avoid lunchtime if you just fancy a hot drink. At other times, it’s just right for a relaxing cappuccino, and make sure you try the eponymous apple pie as well.
The prices are a little steep, but no more than one might expect in a tourist town like Ambleside.
A perfect place to start a day in the stunning Lakes.

We often travel from Durham to Ambleside just to sit for an hour in Apple Pie in Ambleside. The atmosphere is great, the staff are great, the food is great and most importantly the cofee is great. Well done Apple Pie. we will keep coming back.
mammy and pappy come to the lakes each year with our boys and head straight for the applepie shop for a coffee and slice of pie. looking forward to our next visit.
we love the lakes and always make a trip to this lovely little tea shop as a special treat, its not cheap mind but well worth it.
