Cafe Altitude

A highly rated café above Ambleside Climbing Wall, serving breakfast, lunch and homemade baking with elevated views towards the surrounding fells.

Cafe Altitude occupies the upper floor above Ambleside Climbing Wall at 101 Lake Road, combining a casual café menu with views over the surrounding fells. Breakfast buns, lunch dishes, homemade cakes and bread make it useful whether you are climbing downstairs or simply looking for a quieter food stop close to the centre.The café is a separate business from the climbing wall and follows its own opening hours, so check current details before visiting. Its upstairs position is part of the appeal, but anyone with access requirements should confirm the current route into the café before travelling.
