On Highgate in Kendal, Brew Brothers is a coffee house serving Farrers coffee, roasted in Cumbria since 1819. Breakfasts include a full English, available in a kids' version, and an all day breakfast wrap, while lunch brings a BLT with soup or a salmon bagel.

Customer Review Summary
Full English breakfast draws the most praise, with reviewers calling it superb and among the best they've had, and noting generous portions and good quality meat, even though one couple felt it ran pricier than expected at over £30 for two breakfasts, a juice, and a coffee. Close behind, the all day breakfast wrap, salmon bagel, and a soup singled out as one of the best ever tasted keep lunchtime visitors returning, alongside filter coffee and vegan options like scrambled tofu. Several reviewers traveling with allergies or intolerances mention being accommodated for gluten free and egg free diets. The dog friendly reputation comes up repeatedly, with reviewers describing dogs welcomed with biscuits, ear scratches, and water bowls. Staff are consistently described as friendly and attentive, and one reviewer notes staff kept a forgotten bag safe behind the counter until it could be collected.

“Late lunch of all day breakfast wrap, daughter had BLT with cup of soup. The soup was one of the best I've ever tasted (she was enthusing about it and insisted I try it....so glad I did, was something special). Breakfast wrap absolutely delicious. Friendly service, decent fair pricing. Great spot.”

“Loved it. Multiple vegan options (scrambled tofu was delicious), and the atmosphere was lovely. Our dog had the most fun of us all, welcomed warmly with biscuits and ear scratches. We were only in Kendal for a couple of hours, and we are really glad we stopped by.”
