"Visited on a Sunday at 11am, it wasn't particularly busy. Sign on the door told us to wait to be seated. Wait staff at the back of the cafe told us to sit anywhere. They brought menus quickly, but had to be waived over (after we'd waited 10 mins) to take our order. The staff didn't seem particularly busy, just slow and inattentive. The food came 10 mins later, this was before our drinks, which I had to prompt them for. The coffee and fresh orange juice was nice. We each had a sausage butty, I chose veggie, which turned out to be mashed potato with carrots and sweetcorn in bread casing, sort of like a fish finger. I was beyond disappointed, I'd expected a quorn style sausage or something made of some sort of protein. We waited again and no wait staff ever came back to the table to clear plates or offer the bill, so eventually I went up to the counter to pay. Overall terrible service and disappointing food. I wish we'd gone somewhere else."

Service lets the place down with little enthusiasm shown by the team. Food ok, coffee good but plenty better options in town.

Called in for a snack lunch and were completely taken back with the quality of the food and the service that we received. The young girl that served us couldn't have been more helpful if she tried. Well done to all concerned.

We hadn't realised Stiles was dog friendly until we popped in and checked. It always gave of more of a kids' cafe vibe too but we had some lovely soup and bread here recently interesting choice of soups and lovely bread with it.

Food and drinks are good but the staff hygiene leaves little to be desired. One member in particular who didn’t really seem like she wanted to be working there, had a scruffy sweatshirt with frayed cuffs that were dangling in our drinks. She didn’t seem to want to serve either.

Terrible, worst tearoom ever, waited 15 minutes for or order to be taken, when the girl brought it she couldn’t tell us what was what, her answer was they are both the same,which they were not, never smiled once, also when she our glasses were brought to the table her fingers were inside them

This little GEM of a place is AMBLESIDE is a must, the staff are welcoming and friendly and the place has a nice warm homely feel. Party of 6 stopped for coffee and cake and we were not disappointed, the coffees especially the Latte's are lovely and well the cakes are a definite must if you visit. The Carrot Cake and Lemon Drizzle Cake are a must, never tasted such amazingly tasty and moreish cakes, 4 days of visiting the lakes this place for me was the best by far for coffee and cake, thank you for making us all feel welcome and especially fuelling us with coffee and cake for our walks.

"Staff were very friendly, welcoming and efficient. They were also very kind to our dog. We had drinks and food and though the drinks were good, the food was not. The words 'frozen ' and 'microwave ' were forefront in my mind throughout. The mash potato I had with my pie was face meltingly hot suggesting the microwave was used, and my wife 's battered fish was mushy and watery suggesting it was deep fried from frozen. The batter was also only about 1mm thick and was like wise mushy. The meat in my chunky steak pie was definatly chunky but was a little too firm (not tough, just not tender. Probably the wrong cut of meat rather than badly cooked). I then had the caramel apple pie as did another member of my party. While his was hot, mine was cold. I had mine with cream which when it arrived, had bubbles in and was luke warm. What I think happened was that mine was microwaved first and then drowned in cream and left to sit while the other was microwaved. This mean mine cooled in the cream while the cream warmed. It also meant that the pastry on the bottom went soggy, and from the rest of the pastry, it didn 't seem like it had much crisp to begin with. Now I know that times are hard and pubs like this can 't be expected to make everything from scratch, but there are 3 other pubs close by and unfortunately this one is doing nothing to stand out from the others, in terms of food anyway. Overall, a nice place for a quiet drink, but I 'll not be back for the food. The only saving grace was the price; £80 for 2 rounds of drinks (1 pint, 1 coke and 2 halves per round), 4 mains and 2 desserts...I suppose you get that you pay for though..."
