Cafe West Workington Library in Allerdale

We found this place today by accident and we are so glad we did. Our order was taken by Andrew with the help of another young man who we didnt get his name. Table service was fantastic, our waiter was very friendly and he made sure we had every thing we could possibly need. The food was amazing, the sausage especially was outstanding, but all the food was cooked and presented to a very high standard. I cannot praise the staff enough. Top quality service, top quality food. Such a lovely experience, wish we lived closer so we could come here more often,

On Thursday 7th April I and a mate were in Workington for a hospital appointment, Now then I am Blind, therefore, have to use the PC with specialized audible software but I will never allow my disabilities to overshadow my abilities. and my mate Paul has MS - he's permanently in a `Power Chair` and has an assistance dog - Libby Nah then when we got to Cafe West we were met by Alison and shown to our seats where we ordered our food I had something simple - Beans on Toast whilst Paul had Toast and Jam. The Cafe is staffed TOTALLY by disabled people and is one of the most friendly, attentive places I have ever been in. Special points to remember are the sheer attentivness of these guys ngirls, NOTHING is ever too much for them SUPER HEROES every one of them

Arrived in Workington by bus and wanted a coffee, straight away I spotted the library with a cafe across the road. Very helpful, very friendly cafe in the library, we enjoyed the coffee. Returned here for lunch and enjoyed homemade soup with homemade roll at a very reasonable price, it was delicious. Keep up the good work, nice to support your good work. Noticed they also had a cafe in keswick so we visited that later in the week too.

Inside Workington Library, this cafe has lots of seating and a good, basic, home made menu. Staff are friendly, and my snack was very good value. A refreshing change from all the big chain places.

I've had 2 takeaway lunches from the Cafe in the past week. Gorgeous food, fresh and well presented and reasonably priced. Well done everyone!

This is a favourite spot of my Mums as she loves the library and the atmosphere here. The food is always very nice and the staff are extremely friendly. I would highly recommend here!

Lovely, clean, tidy. Excellent service by the croissant staff. Great tasty home made food.Go every week.

This is a cheap and cheerful place to eat, not too many items on the menu, plain & simple foods, hence the prices.. Next time I am in Workington I will eat there, no problem..

its ok part the libra ery ken to ie oo service with libray so can sit hae drink or\y it staf are peolp with learnin dificulties but\ SANWHCH BAKE POTATOES ECT

I visited the cafe last week with some colleagues following a meeting in the Library. Although we only had drinks (and a Mars Bar cake) the service was exceptional. The staff took our order and we were served at our table. The food and drinks were good and the Mars Bar sugar rush was a welcome addition to the drinks. It was lunchtime and just viewing the food on offer was making us all hungry. This is a really friendly cafe and the staff are a credit to it.

We called in early afternoon, only to find out the cafe was closing along with the library in 45 mins. But still had time to have sandwich, bit of salad, and a cuppa.. good service, food OK, staff friendly and helpful. Decent price.. was quiet when we were there, but could imagine it could get busy... good range of lite bites and cakes looked good

Went in cafe with my hubby both were impressed with food choices and staff were very friendly food great and very handy places in workington town centre

Ordered food took ages to arrive when we finally got our food it was not nice at all the egg was solid the toast were like doorsteps and burnt the only decent part was the cup of tea

We calling for a quick coffee but had soul and sandwiches of which was delish many home made cakes and sandwiches on offer plus clean and n cosy place we would recommend it to all.

Always fantastic value for money and great food, excellent service and highly recommended. A gem and I will definitely be a regular lunch time visitor *****

lovely café set in the main library in Workington. selling home made niceties and tea/coffee. run by lovley people doing a fantastic job. if you are in Workington please visit as it is so relaxing and welcoming

I love going to this Library, Great selection of Books, Great Location.....and you can Eat and Drink there too! What more could you Ask For??

The heavens opened and I nipped in, out of the rain.I may have just had a pot of tea and a toasted teacake - but they really hit the spot.The toasted teacake was spiced - a delicately balanced flavour, and buttered whilst hot. Just perfect!So nice infact I asked if I could buy some to take home.Happily they obliged.Service was excellent too.One very happy new customer. Thank you!

Friendly local cafe offering quality snacks and giving important support and opportunities to a local charity

Great lunch - as usual. Always lovely fresh home made bread, soups and sandwiches , followed by tasty home made cakes.

What more could a bookworm with a sweet tooth ask for?! The staff are friendly and welcoming, prices very reasonable, and the cakes are scrummy... My particular favourite is the Westmorland Dream Cake. The paninis are very tasty too, made on homemade bread. Will definitely be making a regular visit. Well, every few weeks to pick up some new books I guess!

Lovely cakes and scones, good service from the counter staff, well done folks! There was a similar cafe in the hospital and massively dissapointed it was closed down, big miss, but at least we still have a cafe west in the library.

This is a fantastic cafe. It's very chilled out inside with excellent accessibility. The staff are very efficient and pleasant. I had a tuna roll, which was amazingly good. The homemade bread was delicious! Prices are very reasonable too.

Very handy location decent food reasonable prices and a great people watching opportunity if you like that sort of thing.

Called for quick he, tea and scone. Lovely food at reasonable prices. Not the most glamorous of settings in the library but handy for a snack

Its fab to be able to have a coffee/tea in the library and to start the first chapter of your book. Lots of people having a light lunch in here on the day I was in and have to say the soup looked really good. Will be back when I'm feeling hungry !

went there to escape the busy bustle of the town center. friendly staff, cheap good coffee and amazing cakes. Due to its location its quiet but you can still talk. you couldnt ask for anything more.

Situated right inside Workington Library, with lovely coffee and cakes. Staff were very pleasant, it's a lovely, quiet place to sit with a book and a brew.
