About Stiles Coffee Bar
Stiles Coffee Bar is a cafe and coffee shop on Compston Rd in Ambleside, and it is also listed as an ice cream shop. Breakfast is served, and the butties range from a spam and egg butty to a vegan bacon butty. A full veggie menu runs alongside the meat options, with gluten-free alternatives for guests who avoid gluten. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices share one menu with the meat dishes, so mixed groups can order together without splitting up. Dogs are welcome, which means guests can bring their own along when they stop in.

“Came in for food which was lovely as always, highly recommend. When we were coming up to pay however, a waitress named Fabienne came behind me pushed me hard out of the way (which resulted in a bruise) and aggressively said “f*** off move out of the way” Unacceptable behaviour in my opinion and we won’t be coming in again because of her. Perfect food and lovely service from everyone else :)”

“Amazing café, the best playlist I've heard in a while and they are super dog friendly which we appreciate! The food and drinks were really nice and reasonably priced too - free WiFi to boot. Life's good in Ambleside. Dine in style at Stiles”

“We went here for lunch on my birthday, it’s so rare you can get a vegan bacon butty anywhere and they had a full veggie menu and gluten free alternatives as well. Just simple straight forward food. Perfect”
