Lovely new place to get speciality coffee (Three Hills Coffee) in the centre of Carlisle. Really friendly and nice atmosphere inside, happy to see this opening ☕️ Got a coffee (alternative milk / oat milk available) to go today, but also saw a good selection of cakes and ice creams!

Really lovely flat white and coffee and walnut cake. Best sit down coffee in Carlisle. Lovely staff. Might be coming here a bit too often, I think.

Best coffee in Carlisle! It's difficult to get a really good decaf anywhere but this cafe has nailed it. Good selection of cakes and snacks. The staff are friendly and helpful and service is always with a smile. Spotlessly clean. We're now regulars here with our dog as it's also dog friendly.

Really friendly cafe. Came today after discovering this by accident and the staff were so lovely helping me with the wheelchair and making sure we were ok. The drinks were fab and really reasonable price too. Will come again when in Carlisle

Staff, superb. Made to feel welcome, friendly, nice environment, well placed between City centre and carpark & parks /children's play park. Near to main bus stops at Market. Food was excellent. Only place I KNOW in Carlisle that serves decaffe TEA. Good quality ice cream available in various flavours. Pricing comparable to local area. Good range of snacks/drinks.
Parking
Location means you will have already parked in one of the car parks nearby at Bitts park or town centre and be passing to or from these, or maybe visiting The Castle, only 1-5 min walk away near to main bus stops.

Stunning little coffee bar, and gluten free friendly! The staff couldn’t be more helpful and what a great selection of baked goods with immaculate coffee! And the pups loved it too

Amazing small café. I had the sourdough sandwich which was served with slaw and some chips and it was simply amazing. We also had some ice cream and that was exceptionally good as well. Definitely worth visiting 😊
