Fantastic little cafe, a real hidden gem. Got the breakfast stottie, and it was absolutely banging. Service was great, incredibly good food, and very reasonably priced.

Fantastic family run caf, with amazing food and a lovely atmosphere. Well worth a trip to if you’re passing through, or enjoying as a regular spot if you’re in Carlisle for longer.

Thank you so much for your lovely review
Excellent find near Matalan. Second visit. Went last Friday as I was in the area and had the jacket potato and ham. All freshly made and quality butcher ham. Huge portion. Went back and had the chicken tikka and rice. It was really warming and welcome as it's turned cold. The owner/manager is friendly and efficient a must when time is short for dinner. Will be looking forward to next week's special. Thank you

Came up to Carlisle last Friday, the wife went to Matalan. Found this place just round the corner from there. Had a Coffee and Cumberland Sausage Roll, They hit the spot. Both of us came in here today before we set off for home and grabbed lunch, Chicken Tikka Masala, absolutely fantastic food. Will definitely use this cafe again, the next time we come up here. Thanks Maxine, really good fresh cooked quality food at a great price.- Wait time
