Quick info
About Cafe Local, Carlisle
Cafe Local, Carlisle is a coffee shop on Court Square in Carlisle, set inside the train station. That placement gives people waiting between trains somewhere to sit down with a drink. The menu includes coffee and hot chocolate, with an orange hot chocolate as the distinctive option. Breakfast rolls cover the morning, and food displays at the counter let customers see what is available before they order. Canned Madrí is also stocked for those who want something other than a hot drink. The seating area has new furniture.

“Classic cafe to grab refreshments in between trains. The barista with the big muscles, dark hair, and kind smile made me the best canned Madrí I’ve even had. Off to Scotland!”
- Owain Bestley
“I don’t normally review chains unless they’re particularly good or bad but honestly the guys working this morning really cheered me up. Really funny and friendly. Small interaction but I come through Carlisle a lot so I’ll definitely be coming in again when I can.”
- Hannah Rudd
