We visited 1657 Chocolate House during our trip, drawn in by its old and authentic vibe — and it truly lived up to it! A very friendly gentleman working there helped us choose from their wide variety of chocolates, and his recommendations were spot on. The chocolate flavours were so unique — many of them were things we’d never even heard of before! It was such a fun and different experience for us as tourists from India. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Kendal — for both the chocolate and the charming atmosphere!

Would definitely recommend, very qutesy, olde worldy, very old fashion English tea room, I love it. There is nothing modern about this place and that’s apart of the joy. No good for wheelchairs as the tea room is up stairs, the whole place is in 3 floors with very wobbly floors, nothing is flat which is fun, feels like you been drinking hehe. Toilets were very small but ok. There is a chocolate shop on the bottom floor and the tea room is on the next two floors. The cake we had was every chocolate lovers dream, it was soooooo nice I am definitely going back. Staff were friendly, chocolate shop
