Really nice place to rest eat and admire the decorations in this place. Food is great and they claim it is mainly home made. My soup was good and other dishes were well presented and tasty including the scones. You need to visit the toilet as they haven't cut any corners here neither. The fittings are by the famous Thomas Crapper who was an English businessman / plummer who patented many bathroom fittings we use today. They owned the first bath , toilette and sink. Also his surname is widely used in the industry today. . So now you know why Baldry's is worth a visit even if you're not hungry

Met a local on a walk around Rydal and Grasmere who recommended Baldry's as the best coffee shop in Grasmere. Glad we listened as our visit was very enjoyable. Warm welcome, great service and lovely food. Very impressed.

Beautiful tea room. Service was lovely and friendly. They serve the most delightful cakes and scones and a really good selection of freshly baked gluten free cakes, scones, puddings (much to my husband's delight). A definite must if you are in Grasmere.

Delicious food, fantastic tea selection, cleanly, bright and excellent service. We have been on a five day tour of the lakes visiting Kendal, Windermere, Coniston and Eskdale and this was the best food we had on our trip. The rarebit was absolutely delicious & my boyfriend was really impressed with his cumberland breakfast. We were really chuffed with the variety of teas. The interior design and crockery was also beautiful. The bathroom was nice and clean as well. Staff really friendly and accommodating. 10/10 loved it.
