Rattle Gill Cafe, Ambleside

This little cafe is the best yet that we’ve tried in this part of the Lakes.  A bit of a search on twitter uncovered this place and I’m so glad we found it. 

  
 The flat white was really good, so much so we had a second.  However even better – they serve a cake plate. Yep, a plate of cake. A selection of 5 of the cafe’s homemade cakes and at £6 to share between two it is somewhat of a bargain.

  
Our cake plate had lemon curd cake (my favourite), pear and almond cake (Mr Frivolitea’s favourite) banana and pecan flapjack, Borrowdale tealoaf and scone with raspberry jam and cream. What a treat and a great discovery.  This will be a regular when we visit the Lakes.
