Cartmel Coffee — Restaurant in England

Repeating the findings of others, the shop owners appear not to like family visits. I ordered 3 drinks there, then sat down, with my 8 month old son eating a pear in his pram, and 9 year old son sneaking a bite on a sausage roll from a shop nearby. The rest of the shops appear to 'get it' that supporting the other local businesses is the way forward (Cartmel has a recommended bakery), but this business appears to be clueless. The shop owner/assistant delivered the drinks, then said at the same time 'we don't allow food from outside being eaten here'. We left the drinks, paid, then left the shop. If you are unhappy with a customer, ask them to leave. Don't deliver drinks, then ask them to leave (therefore requesting payment, but telling the customer to get lost at the same time).

Placed looked nice . Food was good.this is my observation of the behavior of one waiter and another waitress. I ordered a hot chocolate drink with marshmallows along with other things.

No prior cleaning his hands.He had been touching all the stuff/ counters / ringing the bill etc. The waitress had fake nails and she had been scratching her forearms constantly in between carrying food and serving. No matter how good the food is it begs the question! Is it worth sacrificing cleanliness.Also dogs are allowed inside the cafe.one dog owner let the dog loose and it ran in to the kitchen and got petted by the person who is preparing sandwich/food. There is a risk of cross contamination coz of that practice .great place but some cringy practice, so will not return again...

We have tried all the cafe's and eataries in Carmel and I must say that The Carmel Coffee cafe is the best. The cakes are all home made and are excellent 😙😉 but there sultan scones are the Best I have ever Ever tasted 😄😁 home made by one of the ladies in the shop every morning. They are light crunchy top good size and would highly recommend them mmm they are not full of baking powder or cream of tartar to make the rise and so don't leave an after taste once eaten they were so nice I brought some home to. The tea was nice to after a good stir could have done with extra tea bag but never mind the scones made up for it. Nice and clean. Dog friendly. Lovely pleasent staff. You...
