Chinty's

I went to Chintys today for the first time. The owners were so welcoming. The prices are reasonable. There are delicious food and crafts and newspapers to read, and even knitting to do! I loved it.

Came across Chinty's by chance on a visit Keswick. It's possibly the best local independent cafe experience I've ever had. It's not just the coffee, the food, the lovely owners or the quirky style. It's the the whole ethos and backstories that makes it truly memorable. Lucky, lucky Keswick.

A very welcoming café with delicious soup. I enjoyed playing the piano here with my friends Helen and Martyn Shakespeare who have played guitar/ percussion and sung here before (three of Five Loose Chippings!) Lovely atmosphere.

Chinty & Ian always greet you with a warm smile and friendly chatter. The food is fresh and delicious, especially the scones. An absolute must visit cafe in Keswick for visitors and locals alike. I always recommend my hotel guests to visit, and they never come away disappointed. You can even twinkle the keys of the piano if you like!

Wonderful and welcoming cafe such that I ended up making a habit of visiting for a morning coffee most days I'm visiting Keswick. They're all about the fresh, local and ethically sourced produce.

The scones and cakes are amazing and the coffee is really well made. Slightly telling is just how popular it is with the locals. You get the impression they owners know most of the people in the cafe.

Speaking of locals, if you get there at the right time, one of the locals may well be paying the piano. If he isn't there, as I understand it, pianists are welcome to jump in his seat. So I've heard anyway. I've yet to see it happen.

One thing to be aware of is that they're a cash only place so make sure you visit one of the dwindling Keswick cash machines before you wander in.

Highly recommended for a tea/coffee and cake/scone. I've not had a meal there but from what I've seen, they look great.

Absolutely delightful place with locally sourced and made food, probably very reasonably describing it as the "friendliest Cafe in Keswick."

Blown away by the gentle atmosphere and wholesome connection; by the end of lunch, Ian knew most of the names of our party of 12. Food was delicious. Recommended.

Chinty’s cafe, off the Main Streets in Keswick. Great service and reasonably priced.
Plenty of choices and welcoming atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

A beautiful artist in her element, the coffee and scones exceptional, the artwork around exquisite X 😍

Wonderful place, great ethos, very welcoming team, interested in the community and actively involved. Tea bread and soup were both excellent. Loved the monthly newspaper. A lot of hard work and effort, clearly from the soul, go into everything offered here. I cannot recommend more highly. I wish I lived 3 minutes rather than 3 hours away.

Loved this unusual little cafe. The owners were so welcoming, I could have stayed there easily all day. Especially nice when a gentleman walked in and played a little tune on the piano. I just had to buy one of the lovely coffee mugs to remind me of my visit. Excellent.

Really cute little cafe tucked away in Keswick. The server was chatty and had a lot of local knowledge which was nice. Really good coffee!!

This charming cafe is a delight. Super relaxed and quirky with interesting posters and items on the walls. We sat on the comfiest sofa and enjoyed a beautiful beetroot soup and sourdough cheese and onion toastie (locally sourced ingredients) with a flat white. A large bottle of ice cold water was also placed on our table. Great background music too! We could have quite happily fallen to sleep afterwards. Will most definitely reccomend to others and be coming back ourselves next time we’re in keswick. Lovely, friendly staff. We stumbled upon a little hidden gem!

Small intimate cafe, mostly local people are there. I go in with my sister, chinty and her husband are very friendly and coffee and food is lovely. And there are different nick nacks to buy, including lovely pottery.

It's like stepping in someone's home, and getting food cooked for you. The menu is limited but don't let that put you off, there's something to eat for everyone. The owners are friendly and will ensure you're fed and happy. We had breakfast, scrambled eggs were yummy.

The atmosphere was so nice. A man was playing the piano as we we're having a coffee. So lovely

Quirky and cosy place near the centre. Intresting minimalist type food menu which would reduce food waste. Food super tasty and good value for money. Great coffee. Very warm and friendly customer service.

Very welcoming. We had the special of Soup , a cake and coffee for £10.00 it was delicious

Wonderful café, friendly people - had a lovely time and will certainly be back

Wonderful café with delicious food and amazing people, thanks for the lovely morning!

Just a lovely place, such a lot of care goes into everything. Homely and welcoming. 💯
