Charlie Chaplin Limited in Carlisle

Upon arriving in Carlisle we asked in a local shop at the bus station where the best coffee shop was. Just a five minute walk to The Good Sisters. What a lovely little place, I so much prefer these coffee shops to the big name brands. The staff were so good, happy to help. The food was great too. A nice selection, well presented and good quality. I had the Sausage Pattie Brioche Bun. It was tasty and to be recommended. Well done to all 🙂

I just love Alexandros! Still my favourite restaurant in Carlisle. The service is very good. The owner always seems to be on duty to take orders. The food is never a disappointment and the atmosphere in the restaurant tonight ( Saturday) was absolutely buzzing at 6:30pm! Fully booked! Traditional Greek music playing in the background , lots of chatter and delicious food/ desserts and drinks being served at all the tables. You just can’t help but take a peek at what other people have ordered. You really do feel like you have been transported to Greece. There is only one minor thing that I wish could be improved upon, and thats the waiting area when you walk in and wait to be seated. Well….there isn’t one. You have to stand and wait in the doorway upon entry where you find yourself to be only a few feet away from someone’s table. It feels a little awkward and intrusive if you’re left standing there for more than a minute. And it’s not great, for those sitting close to the door, to feel a cold draught every time the door opens and closes. But don’t let this put you off, because it doesn’t seem to stop people coming. And the food is too good to miss!

We had a lovely coffee and panini here. Staff were really friendly. The food was great - as was the coffee. There isn't a massive amount of seating but it was stylish and welcoming. They don't take card payments, but there's 3 cash machines close by and they do accept bank transfers (they have free WiFi so you don't need to rely on patchy signal). Would definitely recommend.

Started my day in Carlisle with an excellent bacon barm and cup of tea. Enjoyed it so much that we went back later for an equally excellent piece of cake and scone.

Arrived at 1.45, there was a sign on the door to say it was open until 2.30. I was snarled at by an extremely rude person, saying "we're closed". Will not be going back.
