Lovely community space for coffee or tea, chatting and having a safe space to go

This is a Christian cafe and bookshop. It is also the local food bank and where mums bring there children to see the nurses. Tea, coffee, canned drinks milkshakes are sold, as well crisps and cakes. Prices are reasonable. The prices of books are also reasonable. C.D's and Jigsaws are also sold, again at reasonable prices. There is a special room set aside for for Christian themed books and Bibles. Also here are Christian themed items, which are sold, all at reasonable prices.

Corner stones is a great community cafe, great atmosphere and staff are always pleasant and respectful to all customers, not just a cafe but daily activities on, eg craft, breakfast club once a week, renew on people's faith and many more activities it's definitely a brilliant place for the community and beyond.

Never been here before what a delightful surprise. The staff are polite, kind and look happy. Food tasty and not expensive. Most of all the atmosphere is caring a real family feel just what I needed.❤

Great little community cafe. Awesome place to get some work done too. Superb coffee

Lovely place always friendly and great cuppa and the cakes are so good

Great little find, lovely staff and cakes are awesome.

This place literally makes the kids beyond happy, always love our weekly stops in here! Kids are always excited to come which is lovely a great place in the local community 😀

Got 15 books for £8.50. We Looked them all up on Amazon and they would have cost £278 (with postage) it was mostly academic stuff but they have a good range. I live in West Lothian and make a point of going here on detour every 6 months if going down south.

A lovely, friendly, welcoming place to come get warm with a coffee. Cakes are very yummy!

Friendly little place. The staff are lovely and the prices are so reasonable

Very friendly staff-looking forward to talking to them about setting up a coffee and chat drop in for our community !

Brilliant hot drinks, friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere. Worth a visit if your in the area.

Lovely, super friendly little place. Great for a coffee however its bring your own food as they don't serve food but you can buy from elsewhere to eat there. A really supportive little place, 'pay what you can scheme' and also books and puzzles for sale. The staff are always so friendly and always interact with my little boy :)

Friendly staff and a good used book section. Good coffee, pay what you can afford. Community events at regular times.

Nice little community hub, coffee, cakes, games and a great selection of second hand books for sale.

Informal, friendly, clean, great community, and a great place for the wider Denton Holme community too.

Lovely place for a great coffee and amazing staff

Lovely and helpful staff. This is a good place to get a coffee with a friend. They have cheap second hand books/dvds and Christian books. They also offer lots of different support for people in the community like budgeting advise, work club to help people get there CVs sorted to apply for work and much more. A great place for the community to come together. I highly recommend.

It's such a friendly place to go for coffee. I could take a sandwich in with me and have it with my drink. The gift shop is so handy too.

Hyggelig atmosfære og betjening.

Lovely safe place to have coffee on your own

I regularly visit Cornerstone whether I'm meeting friends or on my own looking to relax and read. The staff and other regular visitors are extremely friendly and respectful. There is always someone to chat with and everyone knows your name. The ambience is great and age of visitors range from babies to retirement. A big appeal is that people with disabilities of any sort feel extremely comfortable and accepted in the Cornerstone community.

The coffee is lovely and reasonably priced. Nice that it's dog friendly. Shiela was especially helpful :)

Very friendly volunteers, toys for young children to play with. Excellent value drinks that taste great. They The current offer a free refil on all hot drinks £1.70 for 2 drinks! Excellent super fast broadband. They hsve been expanding their drinks and snack range. Highly recommend!!

Cornerstone is a fairtrade community cafe, owned and run by St James Church. The cafe is run mainly by volunteers from the church and local community. It serves a range of very affordable hot and cold drinks (free refills are given on hot drinks) - takeaway drinks are also available. In addition it also offers pre paid coffees, for anyone who may require this service. Although Cornerstone doesn't sell food (apart from some biscuits), people are welcome to bring in their own sandwiches to eat. Cornerstone also sells second hand books, vinyls, CD's, DVD's and other items. Next to to Cornerstone there is also the St James Op Shop, a charity shop selling a range of items. People can hire the meeting rooms at Cornerstone, and various community groups meet regularly at Cornerstone, including art groups, money advice projects, and a work club. It's a great place, where people from the community gather to relax, meet friends, or simply watch the world go by. Free wifi is also available.

Great coffee with a social purpose

Want a nice cuppa while waiting for the missus? Get one from here, and don't forget to pay one for someone who can't afford a warm drink. The volunteers are doing a great job.

Just the best in Carlisle and the best price and service

A very nice place to be, for adults and children

Este café solo sirve bebidas y galletas, pero usted puede traer su propia comida (hay una buena panadería al lado) y te dan un plato y cubiertos. Una gran taza de café en un ambiente relajado, juguetes para los niños pequeños para jugar y una excelente selección de libros de segunda mano barato para navegar a través de. El servicio es amable y acogedor, asientos cómodos y bien separadas, y el edificio es de color claro y bueno para ver la calle transitada fuera mientras se relaja.

Tomamos un café relajante aquí durante el implacable lluvia. Cuando en Denton Holme recomiendo una visita. Excelente y amable.

This is Primarily a Christian drop in Coffee Shop during the day. There are several groups who use the rooms. The drinks are reasonably priced, and served by people who volunteer to work there. I like the community atmosphere there. You are able to buy a sandwich or similar from one of the nearby outlets such as Routledges, and eat it with the Coffee you bought at Cornerstone. You don't have to be a Christian to be made welcome there. I AM a Christian, and I go there regularly because of the atmosphere. You can buy 'preloved' CDs and DVDs and books here as well.
