The Square Orange Café

Walk past the Lake District gift shops and you'll find yourself on St John's Street where this place sits doing its thing without any fuss. The Square Orange is exactly what Keswick needs—a café run by people who actually know their way around an espresso machine and a decent toastie. You'll see the same faces in here morning to afternoon, regulars who've made it their unofficial office, and tourists who've stumbled in and suddenly understand why everyone raves about it. It's warm without being Instagram-mad about it, busy without being chaotic.
