The Giggling Goose Cafe

We popped in here for a coffee and scone. We sat outside with our dogs, dog water was already out. The scones were lovely, slightly warm with a fresh baked taste to them. The coffee was perfect too. It was just what we needed. The staff member was also very helpful. Would definitely call in again.

A lovely little café, there were plenty of seating options (outside in the shade or not, or a quieter corner table inside or larger low table. Staff were excellent and very welcoming, would have loved to have had a cake as they looked fantastic but we were still full from our lunches earlier!
They also have a dog wall of fame, absolutely wonderful (see photo!)

Lovely helpful staff who showed us to a table in the large outside garden. Service was leisurely but they were busy and we were not in a hurry. Very good sandwiches with a great side salad in a little bowl and tasty coleslaw. Good value for a tourist hot spot. Felt very safe and a nice place to relax after a long walk.

The cake was great and the staff are happy and pleasant. The cafe is located centrally within Ambleside. There are steps to all entrances, however if you head in from the top of the hill there are only 2 steps as opposed to 2 full flights of stairs in from the high street. Very nice medium flowing stream by the outside seating.

Great iced lattes, really creamy. Beautiful scones. Lovely garden area and dog friendly.

Worth a visit for cream tea when in Ambleside. It's right next to a bubbling brook, and has a water mill (it was being repaired when I visited). Service was friendly and quick, and there's a great selection of cakes. It's got a casual but cosy atmosphere, and feels like a really relaxed place. It has Destin outside for the warmer months too.

It's rare that I bother to review but the outstanding friendly service while extremely busy must be recognized. Only had coffee and cake but they were lovely!

I loved the location of the cafe, it was great to hear the stream of water and sip on coffee. The staff is very friendly and the food is good too. It’s a nice place with a view to stretch your legs and relax

Just the most idyllic spot- having a breakfast roll with the sound of water was perfect. Staff were lovely.
Had to get a mug too.. so cute- especially the one with a frog 🐸

Found this down a side street and decided to pop in for a quick late lunch. I had onion and cheddar soup with a warm cheese scone and it was delicious. Menu looked great with hot and cold sandwiches along with other lunch time snacks, all at good prices (my soup and scone was £6.50) Would definitely recommend and will visit again.

Fantastic lunch. Regretfully couldn't manage a cake as well- we will come back. Highly recommended.

This cafe is amazing. Delicious cakes beautiful decor
I loved it!

We had a lovely lunch with our son sitting outside. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Our food arrived pretty quickly too.

Lovely beautifully located restaurant place, tables outside on a sunny day was just a gorgeous atmosphere, the water next to it, also were surprised by half price Monday which was the last day on 31st August. Perfect location and good food, very cosy!

Stopped by and had a great cream tea (with propper Rodda's clotted cream 😁😁😁)
Service was good and speedy!

Really simple menu, maximum satisfaction.

Food was really nice.

And the location is amazing on the side of stream.

Tasty food, good prices and not crowded like other nearby eateries. Plenty of outdoor seating, picnic table style, which is a great option if you arrive by bike so you can keep your bike next to you while you eat. Perfect!

Cosy cafe, excellent food (sausage and bacon butty, perfection, fresh choc milkshake!) and great service. Dog friendly, and kindly offered some dog treats. Highly recommended.

Beautiful spot to have a drink and a bite to eat. Reasonably priced.

Great tasting food and reasonably priced. Recommended 👍
