About
Vinyl Cafe is a record store with an adjoining café in Carlisle’s Castle Quarter. It stocks new and pre-owned vinyl, with a mix of albums and 7-inch singles available. The café serves coffee and homemade cakes, with the aroma often noted by visitors. The space combines browsing records with casual conversation, where staff discuss music and customers can enjoy refreshments. Purchases come in branded tote bags. The concept blends music retail with café culture, creating a spot where people linger over coffee while flipping through vinyl.
Customer Reviews
First time in this shop greeted by friendly helpful staff. I gave a list of viynl records I was hoping to purchase. While the gentleman looked to see if they had what I wanted in stock, I enjoyed a coffee at the back of the shop. Great atmosphere. Unfortunately none of the records were in stock. I will definitely return and go onto Thier website. Thank you Pauline
Loved my little visit.. amazing chat with the guy who ran the vinyl "side" of the store. The boss, his wife was in cafe. Great atmosphere, homely. Lovely aroma of coffee & cakes. Nothing to do with Vinyl Cafe but just watch out for the dodgy traffic wardens & unmarked loading bay.
Planned a visit to Vinyl Cafe as part of day trip to Carlisle. Great shop, nice vibe, owners great to chat to, Mrs S. enjoyed cake and coffee.Purchases taken away in smart Future is Vinyl tote.
