Granny Dowbekins Tearooms - Penrith

We had gluten free afternoon tea at Granny Dowbekins yesterday. I had to book at least 48 hours in advance. Sandwiches were tasty and we especially loved the tuna. There were probably too much quiche though. The Victoria sponge, lemon poppy seed muffin, and banana walnut slice were light and fluffy. The buttercreams were not too sweet. The scone was nice but was unfortunately too crumbly/dry. It was disintegrating as we tried to put clotted cream or jam. Overall, I still think it was good value for money.

Great variety of cakes, I recommend sitting outside by the river for the Pooley Bridge experience! Good stop for hiking if you are nearby.

Eating here is fantastic. they serve the breakfast all day. the ingredients are all top quality and many of them. if they like a hot chocolate, this is the place for them. Although we had no afternoon tea, it is very good to book in advance as it is amazing. in any case be back.

On the way back from Scotland stayed here on a laune on the way back, had the vegan breakfast that was beautiful. small tip if they only order the 7 avocado toast the vegan breakfast comes with toast and ask for avocado on the side and they will only calculate it 1 extra. would have ordered a cake but the only vegan option was obstkuchen.

We had a great experience here. many vegan options and the personal are friendly and very knowledgeable about veganism. we had a vegan afternoon tea and it was delicious with huge portions of delicious cake.
