Customer Reviews
Great venue and part dog friendly. Lovely staff good selection of food all at sensible prices. Also has a large outdoor seating area. Fabulous environment right next too the lovely Cathedral.
Arrived just before it closed on a Monday and the ‘lady’ that severed us was so rude and sulky it made an otherwise enjoyable visit to the Cathedral rather disappointing. Customer service obviously not her strength. Coffee was below average. Nice range of Lakeland ice creams. Cakes looked nice but on the dry side. Seating area outside pretty with nice view of the Cathedral. Toilets clean and easy to access. Overall I’d recommend going into a local cafe in Carlisle and giving it a miss.
Really friendly staff, clean surroundings with lovely view of the cathedral and surroundings. Handy for the town centre. Great cakes and scones.
