Was looking for a quite, cozy place for afternoon tea. All the surrounding tea rooms were fully booked. As we thought we had no more options, we noticed this tea room and gave it a try. Did not disappoint! Staff was friendly and swift, cafe was quite with plenty seats and food/drinks were excellent. Would recommend greatly.

Went in after a bike ride for lunch. Want disappointed. Even on a Monday, it was busy enough to have a nice atmosphere. Service was prompt and friendly, food was good (halloumi and avocado salad had plenty of those in, and wasn't just padded with leaves, dressings and sweet chilli had good flavour) and the price was surprisingly good too.

A lovely cafe to come for lunch. Hot Lavazza coffee. Plenty of food choices. The soup was Mexican corn & red pepper which was delicious. It came with a fresh warm bread roll. The cheese & ham toastie was also good. The nachos were also good as well as hot curly fries! We sat outside with our pooch and they gave her some complimentary doggie biscuits! The cake counter had plenty of choices!!

Great menu , good sized portions. I had the hallumi and avacado salad. Dogs are also allowed inside. On two flloors with a daily specials board. Also do great fresh mint tea. Can get busy around 12-1 but staff very attentive and manage the tables. Ordering from the table, good selection of cakes etc

Excellent cafe in a narrow pedestrianized street with a few outside tables. Excellent Lavazza coffee, an outstanding club sandwich and ham/cheese panini and some tasty homemade soup. Really good.

Everything we had was made on the premises, including the rolls. The best hot lemon and ginger tonic, all freshly made with real ingredients. Tasty homemaking, moist and healthy. A treat to find it !

My favourite cafe in Penrith. Always a lovely atmosphere, cheerful staff and great food/drinks. Can sometimes be hard to find a table if you go at a busier time but worth waiting

The most amazing cafe in the whole of the Lake District! And such great vegan options! We got the vegetable wrap with homemade hummus and let me tell you that salad was sensational :) The way they cut that cucumber was so inventive even my sister was happy and she usually wouldn't even eat cucumber! The sweet potato was cooked beautifully :) We tried to recreate the wrap at home and honestly it was not the same :( The staff were amazing and welcoming and the takeaway packaging was environmentally friendly. I've been thinking about that wrap ever since and I'm so sad that I live so far away in London but when I'm back in Penrith, I'll be there for my wrap ;)Love the Narrowbar Cafe, best place of its kind in Penrith.

Love the Narrowbar Cafe, best place of its kind in Penrith. Fresh food is always deliciously made changes accommodated without faff. Friendly staff, clean venue (and loos), there was a short wait for a table at our last visit - always the sign of a good cafe. If passing Penrith on the M6 don't waste your money buying overrated overpriced food at Tebay Service, drop into Penrith. We always visit here or Mr Browns in Brampton when passing by, but Narrow bar is probably more convenient.- Service
