Elm Cafe + Kombucha
Cumbria, Keswick - Café
On a mezzanine atop the George Fisher sports store, this warmly lit café comprises just five tables and a breakfast bar, but it never feels cramped. Staff are 'lovely' and everything from the short menu is neatly done – from classic avocado on toasted sourdough with chilli jam to savoury toasties with tomato and onion salad on the side. Granola bowls, Vietnamese banh mi, cakes and bakes complete the picture. The place is also famed for its skilfully fermented, homemade kombucha – we liked the original version as well as a newer 'soft launch' strawberry riff. The coffee is exceptional too, complete with 'proper latte art for the nerds'.
