Customer Reviews
New number one spot for an excellent breakfast. Staff are excellent and always happy to help. I like my breakfast a certain way, and they have always gotten my breakfast spot on the last five times I've been. The Berrylicious pancakes are amazing. (Last time I was there, though, my pancakes didn't look as good as my attached photo I took on a previous visit, maybe because it was so busy! They still tasted very nice, though.)
A very busy cafe above the main store. Had to wait a short while, but was greeted in a warm and professional manner. A varied menu for most pallets, had the scampi and chips which was well made and quickly presented. My gripes, mainly portion size vs price. This isn't a corner cafe so don't expect £1 coffees etc. Also the one way system, if your asking for people to stand at the door before being fitted, make sure people arnt walking in through the exit.
Excellent location close to J43 of M6 and less than a 10 minute drive from Carlisle town centre. If you're going to see a match at Brunton Park, it's a 10 minute walk up Warwick Road. Ample car parking at Pioneer Food store and safe Pay and Display parking in that area. 1878 Coffee Lounge is situated on the first floor using stairs or lift. Tables allocated upon arrival and you place your order at thecounter. The menu is extensive although breakfast items are only available until 11:30 Mon to Fri and 12:30 Sat & Sun. The service was very quick and the quality was excellent. We decided to pick up cakes downstairs in the Pioneer Foodhall to have with a cup of tea mid afternoon at home.
