Yam Frae Yam takes its name from the traditional Cumbrian dialect to mean 'home from home'.
And this is certainly the case for the cozy and convivial cafe that opens its arms for tourists visiting West Cumbria's coastline and Fells as well as offers a comfort zone for its healthy band of regulars.
The family run business in Gosforth, ran by couple Laura Sandham and Josh Smales, undertook a rebrand during lockdown changing its name from Denton House to Yam Frae Yam.
"We basically redid the cafe during the first lockdown and after we redid the design we thought we would rename the business and we were looking through Cumbrian names and it's perfectly suited for us as it's such a homely spot," Laura said.

"It's a really beautiful thing for us to do together, we put a a lot of time into making it something we wanted it to be and it shows in that - it's only a little cafe but we put a lot of work into it.
"We've got lots of regulars that come in every week, so we get to catch up with them - it's like our little cafe family but, it's always lovely getting new faces in to get a first-time reaction to the cafe," she said.
The cafe takes pride in using as much as Cumbria produce as they can, of which there's a bountiful selection in the area, leaving Josh the finest ingredients to play around with in the kitchen.
With Scafell Pike only fifteen minutes away, the business is perfect for ramblers looking to grab 'brews, bites, bakes, bits and bobs' after a long day on the Fells.
And keeping in nature with the outdoor personalities of the couple, only complimented by the beautiful scenario surrounding them, the duo also run Marra Bikes and Boards, a business which allows for patrons to hire out paddleboards, electric bikes and kayaks - perfect for newcomers looking to take advantage of the great scenery the Lake's and coastline has to offer.
"We upcycled all of the furniture ourselves and learned how to reupholster, make pallet walls and designed the mural, I love the freedom that comes with it, being creative and trying to put our own stamp on it - we really try to put our personalities on it," she said.
