“A very lovely coffee shop! Highly recommended! We started the day with hot chocolate in Slate and also stored our luggage here. We didn't come to pick up our luggage in the afternoon because it rained. Unexpectedly, Kitty left her phone number and waited for us. She also let us catch the train back to London. She is as kind and enthusiastic as an angel. If you also need coffee and storage, you can't miss here 100%!”

“Outstanding cafe - I contacted to see if they could help me with a special takeaway afternoon tea and Amanda could not of been more helpful. The afternoon tea was exceptional and priced perfectly- sandwich choice fab and all sandwiches delicious, beautiful sausage rolls and pork pies, salad, scrumptious scones complete with both clotted cream or butter and jam and an amazing selection of cakes. Amanda and team could not have been more helpful- due to poor weather we needed to switch the day the afternoon tea was required at short notice and Amanda was so accommodating - thank you Amanda and Sugar & Spice - we will always pop in when we are in Windermere - highly recommend and if you want afternoon tea - particularly to take away then Sugar & Spice should be your first choice.”

“Really friendly people, our server was pleasant, friendly and comical. They are happy to accommodate and the food didn't take long to arrive. They serve soya in case you need an alternative to milk. Coffee was good tasting and hot, so to sum up, lovely little cafe with friendly staff and good quality food. Prices are on a par with other cafés in the area. Worth a visit.”

“This is a great place for a full English breakfast. Excellent sausage, bacon and egg plus beans, toast, tomato and a crispy hash brown. Added a black pudding at the behest of Boothroyd Bear. So superior to where we ate close by yesterday and significantly cheaper. Friendly staff. They operate as a bar later in the day. Also excellent taste in music. Will remember for next visit to Windermere....which is May 2024 with Ric. Still excellent.”
