Small but lovely, lively and welcoming. Great food, home made and full of flavour!
Very popular with local regulars. Small but some more seating outside. Typical Cafe menu with some Austrian additions. Goulash was good. Homemade cakes too. Good value. Cash only. Listen for cuckoo clocks on the wall!
Humble but made with utmost care food. Locally grown ingredients - u can really taste it! Absolutely recommend!

We were in Carnforth and needed lunch on a wet and windy Thursday afternoon. A high Google review score brought us to Cafe Edelweiss and it did not disappoint. We received a friendly and brisk welcome and sat down by the window. We were given menus and advised of the specials. We shared a big pot of tea and both had the excellent cheese and onion quiche from the specials. It was served with delicious coleslaw and fried potato slices. The quiche was among the best quiches I’ve ever eaten and the coleslaw had plenty of mayo which is often lacking, but certainly not here. There was a great range of desserts, cakes and tray bakes to choose from. We opted for fruit crumble and apple strudel. We were given a massive jug of custard to share. Both were excellent. Everything was really well priced. If we were to find ourselves in Carnforth again I would return here without question. Five stars. No notes. Just excellent from start to finish.
Lovely cafe with quality breakfast service with big smile
What a delightful find! I recently visited this charming cafe for breakfast, and it was an absolute treat. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with beautiful decor—think cozy wooden tables, elegant chandeliers, and lovely touches like plants and vintage signs on the walls. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The food is all home-cooked, and you can really taste the care that goes into every dish. We had a hearty breakfast with perfectly toasted bread, fresh coffee, and a side of their delicious homemade jams—everything was fresh and flavorful. They also offer cakes and bakes, which looked tempting, but I was too full to try them (next time, for sure!). The service was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The cafe is open from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., serving both breakfast and lunch, and it’s a great spot for a leisurely meal. The only minor thing I’d note is that it can get busy, so arriving early might be a good idea. But honestly, that’s just a testament to how wonderful this place is. I can’t wait to come back—whether for breakfast, lunch, or one of those gorgeous cakes. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!
