Duende Coffeehouse

Duende Coffeehouse A loungey, third place cafe that allows people to have time and space to be, to transform, to be inspired, and to create.

Providing quality coffee, tea, hot chocolate, light bites and cakes, as well as retail that includes beautiful drinking vessels and journals amongst other things, Duende Coffeehouse is a sanctuary for the wanderer, the mystic, the rebel, and the artist.

The next few days are set to be scorchers here, so please make sure you stay hydrated, cool, and chilled out!

I’ll be closed tomorrow (25th June) due to the heat. Gotta think about my own health and comfort, and also that of my dependent (aka: Loki the cat).

TLDR: too hot to wear a bra - staying at home tomorrow.

Is there anything better than listening to the rain (yes I know, apart from the sunshine we had last week)? Even the tree out front is soaking it up!

Wishing you a wonderful week - remember to take some time out because we are human, not machines, and enjoy the refreshing weather out there!

To the people thinking about starting something new, sifting through the ashes of the old for the treasure that was hidden, or just simply needing that little bit of oomph to add to their arsenal of courage today❤️ Happy Full Blue Moon, guys ###

What are you reading at the moment?

I’m currently reading Invisible ADHD by Shanna Pearson, about how ADHD presents in women and tips and tricks to work with it. So far, so good. Very interesting with bite size chapters!

It’s a quiet day so far today. If you are in town and want to hide out - from the sun, from people, from noise - and just get back to yourself, I’ve got you covered with iced drinks, affogatos, floats, and regular brews and sweet treats. I can even do them to-go, so you can head to the green and wilds of Kendal (or the Lake District) for a sunny recharge and leave the shadow moments to frolic.

See you soon! Xx

A quick message re Monday 18th May:

I will be open for takeaways from 10am but due to a large gathering in the cafe, I cannot seat people till after 11.30.

So, FOR TOMORROW ONLY, if you want to come and sit in for a brew and cake, best try after 11.30. The cafe is open until 5pm as usual.

Thanks for understanding!
Cheers
Cynthia

Happy Monday!

How glorious is the tree out front of the shop? They’re so beautiful and the light hits them just so… the stories they could tell!

Come on in and get a brew and a card of the week to start you off right :)

For those who haven’t yet visited and are a little unsure of where I am, I’ve included two photos to help you out :) Google Maps is sometimes a little off lol, and I always feel landmarks help. So if you see the tree in Blackhall Yard, Duende is nearby. At a crossroads between the car park, the shopping centre and the yard.

Open today and Tuesday 9-5, and then 10-6 Wednesday through Friday.

Address

Unit 7 Blackhall Yard
Kendal
LA94LU

Opening Hours

Monday 9am - 6pm
Tuesday 9am - 6pm
