Lucia's Coffee + Bakehouse

Lucia’s Coffee + Bakehouse is one of Grasmere’s best-known independent café stops. Its roots are in a tiny College Street coffee and bakery space, with the emphasis on good coffee, fresh baking and food that works equally well for walkers grabbing something to go or visitors taking a break in the village.

The business has operated from closely located village premises, including a larger Broadgate space with seating. Expect the selection to change through the day as baking sells, which is part of the appeal of a small independent rather than a fixed chain menu.

Grasmere can become extremely busy around lunchtime and popular bakes may sell out, so earlier visits are sensible on peak days. Check the business’s current social information for the latest opening pattern and which location is serving before making a special journey.
