Cosey little cafe, seating was busy outside this morning as the weather was nice and warm. My wife and i sat inside as we fancied full english. Service was a little slow with food, but it was worth the wait. At the end of the day, we weren't in a rush to go anywhere. The food was tasty and hot. Forgot my cutlery, but it was sorted immediately with applogies and a laugh. As i said, i was just going to use my fingers. Nice relaxing atmosphere, warm welcome from staff and customers.
Brilliant service, and really delicious cocktails nice sunny spot to spend the afternoon
Just enjoyed a fantastic breakfast, really clean and a generous portion! The staff are so friendly with nothing being too much trouble and always serving with a smile. The chai latte was awesome, thank you Chris for sharing your coffee knowledge! I’m hooked Did I mention the amazing selection of homemade cakes, just had to indulge!
Friendly welcoming staff, who cheerfully admit responsibility and apologise when they cannot provide the service they’d like to. Therefore the service IS second to none! Excellent food, hot and delicious. Reasonably priced. This must be the best place that we have patronised in a long time. As strangers to Carlisle, and a necessary food and drink stop, this was the best ever experience. Thank you all!
I was going to walk by, but the manager suggested that I give them a try, the Full English was cooked almost to perfection, and they even swapped the eggs to scrambled for me and was well presented and (completely) hot - sadly, not all cafes in the city can manage this simple task... the staff were warm, friendly, and proactive, all-in-all a wonderful experience, slightly on the expensive side compared to other cafes I usually frequent, but can't knock the quality of food presented - worth it? Yes absolutely, give them a try..
Really nice place for meeting friends and having coffee or food. Great venue for town centre.
Was in Carlisle for a few nights and on my first morning was looking for a coffee shop. Went search for one on Google to check if there were any open at 8 AM. 3rd one down, underneath all the known ones (which I avoid whilst on holiday as I like trying new places), was Espresso Hub. First review said they have the best coffee and my instinct was “oh c’mon, is just coffee”. God I was wrong! Ordered a hazelnut latte and on my first sip, my eyebrows shot up! Sooo good! The coffee is to die for! Smooth, tasty and delicious. Definitely the best coffee I have tasted so far. Call me old fashioned, but I am also a believer of the fact that good customer service improves one’s experience, and this place has plenty of it.
We enjoyed our breakfast here! Dog friendly, they brought a water bowl for our dogs. Nice seating area outside, lovely staff and good food
