Visited here 1st time today for breakfast, had the cheese on sourdough and tried the sausage roll. Service was quick, very polite staff, I work with a lot of Sen adults, it's lovely too see them working within the community . Will definitely visit again next time we're in Keswick

Had a really interesting chat with the lady on the counter yesterday. Being a solo guest it was quite refreshing. I returned today as I go home tomorrow, but the supervisor seemed to cut our chat short today. It's a super little cafe in the most picturesque surroundings - highly recommended.

Nice selection of food and beverages on offer, ideally situated at the entrance to Lower Fritz Park great to grab a coffee on the go while on a dog walk in the park. Dogs are welcome in the cafe too.

Love this friendly cafe in Fitz Park at Keswick. Staff are so lovely. Food is great. And they are super dog friendly. We go very often & it never disappoints. Well done all at Cafe West! Also we love the hand made mugs we have bought from you they are unique and my family have asked for them as presents! Recommend their sausage roll with fennel seeds.. and their fish finger bun.. yum!

Always a treat. Excellent, friendly service, with a smile. Delicious food and excellent coffee. The fish finger sandwich is a must have. The rocky road and chorizo and fennel seed sausage rolls are a real treat, too. Lovely setting. Highly recommended.

Had a wonderful chat with the lady who served me. Lovely selection of cakes. Great coffee, servers were happy to pop my coffee in my travel mug after changing my mind! Great spot to pit stop after walking the line and close to the park for the kids to run around in after.
