Slates Coffee & Kitchen

Gorgeous little gem of a place in beautiful little quaint village. Staff really friendly and welcoming. Anything from a coffee and chat to an evening meal. Keep up the good work . Mandi & Graham Fenn

I have passed Slates on many occassion. But finally paid them a visit (just opened when i arrived in Elterwater after a walk along from Skelwith bridge passing Skelwith force along the way)...
Anyhoo.. Slates is an absolute tremendous place if you fancy some quality food & their Beans on Sourdough with a fried duck egg was deliciously superb & fills a hole nicely.
Slates is well worth a visit or for me a return visit...
Update.. the return visit has happened & a seriously scrumcious pizza it was too

Went in by chance and glad we did.
Very busy which is a sign of quality food.
After browsing the menu both of us opted for wild mushrooms on sourdough toast.we asked if we could have a poached duck egg.no problem.
When our food arrived it did not disappoint.the mushrooms were poached in a rich creamy tarragon sauce(I love tarragon),the egg was poached to perfection.
Lovely food,very nice and friendly staff.
Will be going again

Lovely walk today for Mother’s Day. Called in for a drink and a bite to eat just before closing time, however the staff were very obliging and made the three of us a bowl of chips and gave us sausage rolls which I can honestly say were the best we have ever tasted!!😋will most definitely be back. Excellent service also. Thanks so much.

Beautiful cafe. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Will definitely come back next time we're staying nearby.

We had the pizza here and it was fantastic , the drinks were good too , strawberry and banoffe milkshake , well worth a stop

Lovely oat milk latte. Dog friendly and the guy gave my dog 2 treats nice cosy cafe seemed really clean I had take out but was still nice to visit

Great service, excellent coffee and ice cream. Really hard working staff.

We ordered Nacho's and a Pizza. Both arrived quickly and really hot, both excellent and good value for money.

Great place to stop after a walk around Elter Water. You can eat in or take away and there is a wide range of vegetarian and gluten free options on the menu that won't break the bank.

Lovely food after a great walk in the Langdale Valley. Lovely staff, especially the lady who served us- was really helpful and had such a lovely personality. Will recommend and return.

Lovely cafe in a great location. Friendly staff but rather expensive.Paid over £15 for 2 decaf coffees, one scone with butter and jam and one scone with just butter. Despite the cost the coffee was excellent and piping hot and the scones were delicious. Will visit again in the future.

Lovely place with friendly people. I recommend the spectacular Full Cumbrian breakfast.

The food was just incredible, the home made toasted tea cake and sausage rolls were just amazing. Only been to one coffee shop with as good homemade food in Clifton, Bristol.

I think you should maybe offer a couple of different coffee types as people's taste vary and wasn't my favourite kind of coffee.

Thank you!

Incredible! The food was so perfectly done. The menu is modern and there is plenty of choice for everyone. Vegans and vegetarians included.

The staff are really warm and so is the interior.

Oh, the coffee is great too!

Maybe my favourite cafe in the Lakes.

Brilliant! Really good food (awesome pizza) and a great selection. Dog friendly. Toddler friendly (high chair and child options.) friendly staff who did all they could do help. We had a lovely lunch. Comfy sofas too!

We're regulars at Langdale, so it was interesting to see the old Elterwater post office is now a cafe.

We went in after a smaller hike and were very happy. I had a loverly buttermilk chicken burger and my partner had a chicken pesto sandwhich. My burger was fantastic and we both thought the chips were top notch.

Very friendly staff, reasonable prices. The only real downside is that its mostly indoor seating, with a small amount of outdoor seating but I can't imagine there is much they can do about that.

I would happily eat here again and recommend it to anyone stopping by for lunch.

Stopped here for a tasty lunch, while out for a walk while we were staying at the Langdale hotel.
The staff were lovely, food came promptly and was an excellent feed after a morning of walking over the hills.
We had some lovely local beers too, and were then persuaded to have coffee and cake 🍰
Very much recommended, if not for the food and friendly staff, then for the beautiful views.

Really lovely stop when hiking. They have the best sausage rolls I have ever had in my life. Friendly staff and we could bring the dog which is great.

Fantastic Pizza and Pasta.
3 local ales on tap. I had the IPA - superb!
Great lunch mid hike.
Baby changing facilities were the cleanest I have ever seen.
Thoroughly recommend.
