Foxes Cafe in Carlisle

Nine brunch place in Carlisle. Had the full English and tried a Cumberland sausage for the first time. Good selection of coffees.

Most boring unimaginative food. I asked for a Bagel veggie option without the egg. It as clearly a shop-bought bagel with tw0 pieces of processed cheese, freezing cold avocado and a slimy slice of tomato. The bagel was stone cold not even heated or toasted. Zero taste and absolutely no flavour. Complete waste of money. Didn’t even bother to give them feedback as it obvious they were not interested or empowered.

Dog friendly, cosy, great staff and the best cappuccino in Carlisle. Only downside, it is not wheelchair friendly.

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere . Good food.

good very nice Food and Service Very nice

had small breakfast costing £8, plus pot of tea for 1 costing £3. having read some other reviews, I was very disappointed at the quality, quantity, and content of the breakfast. I felt it was the very minimum to be called a breakfast. eg. no fried bread. no blackpudding. no mushrooms , no marmalade. whilst the content was low. I felt that the price for what it was , was high. compared to others in the locality, it was poor. I was surprised also, having left a tip in cash, that when I came to pay the bill by card, it specifically asked for a tip! I always thought tips were at the discretion of the customer, for good service., not to supplement poor wages. I shall not be going there again

Great staff, food and ambience. Today I had the carrot & coriander soup, with a tuna melt, absolutely cannot fault the food. We'll be back again, keep up the great standard.

Great little cafe but if I’m paying £15 for a breakfast I would expect the heating to be on at that price it must surely pay for a bit of warmth on a cold day

Had a lovely lunch here! The service was amazing, they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy, definitely a place where they put the customer first :)

Good food but let down by poor service and being ignored whilst staff chat to each other and friends. Disappointing really as this used to be our go-to place in Carlisle.

Always go here for the events held, my only point is that they should expand their menu a little! But not a nit pick at all. Lovely place.

Food was delicious, but we had to wait half an hour for it. We both had pancakes. Our dog thought the bacon and sausage was very tasty.

Good vegetarian options. But the food itself was overpriced for what it is the avocado had no seasoning at all. Had a soya latte, and the coffee tasted burned.

Good food, friendly service. Thanks:)

Popped in yesterday afternoon for brunch. Many places were shut so we were thankful to see tables on the pavement when we approached. We had 2 types of pancake stack , absolutely delicious, friendly service and nice atmosphere, will return

Our first time in Carlisle, lovely little cafe. Friendly staff and Great atmosphere. I'm not one to score high but these lot deserve a 10/10 for a feel good service

Very relaxed and lovely cafe. Great coffee

Fabulous bacon pancake and maple syrup stack.

Fantastic spot, one of the best cafés in Carlisle.

Excellent little cafe with friendly service. Quality of food and drink is high. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area. Another bonus: it is dog friendly.

Wonderful cafe tucked away in the back streets of Carlisle Would definitely recommend a visit!

One of my favourite brunch spots in Carlisle - the team are brilliant, they do excellent coffee and their Pancakes and Eggs Benedict are the perfect Sunday morning treat. Added bonus - they’re dog friendly!

Great little café with amazing staff, and the atmosphere is really nice.

Had a very disappointing sandwich. The bread was wet and soggy and the ham chewy and gristly. The salad also looked a bit sad. I took 2 bites and informed the waitress. She asked if I would like to swap it for something else. I had pancakes which were nice. I was then charged for the 2 meals which I was not expecting. I queried this but was told the waitress was only 16 and didn’t have authority to change it. Usually when you swap a meal you are not charged for both. Won’t be back!

Unable to give 6 stars for service but would if permitted. Lovely food, convivial atmosphere. What a gem.

Fantastic breakfast at a good price and friendly service

Lovely cafe, great atmosphere, friendly service, delicious coffee and breakfast. Absolutely delightful will definitely be back whenever we're in Carlisle

Amazing place, amazing pancakes🥞

The food was pretty good and I had a great catch up with a friend but the staff weren't cleaning up the tables after customers leaving and going on their phone behind the counter and the toilet door is a bit awkward by that table where customers were sat . The cutlery was dirty so I had to ask for a new set , I'm guessing they have a machine that washes the dishes rather than hand washing

Tables a bit too close for me ,squeezed in, had conversations on both sides I didn't want to hear, a table right by the toilet door, as well.

a fox themed café, lovely place for breakfast

Great place for a quick bite or something more substantial. We popped in here and tried the milkshake in an actual pint bottle! Blew our minds!! Tasted great. The staff were really friendly and accommodating with gluten-free/vegetarian options.

Sehr lecker Freundlich einfach gut

Great for a cappuccino and a cake. The milkshakes are also great !

Over priced “full fox breakfast” for what you get. Wasn’t nice. Coffees are good. Won’t be back.

Definitely worth a visit. Stopped for lunch with two young boys and were relieved to find a box of toys and books for the little ones. Our 3 year old declared his vanilla milkshake to be the "best thing I've ever tasted". For the adults, Caesar Salad and Tuna Melt were excellent. It was great value: we got lunch and multiple drinks for four for £40. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Strong recommend.

Unfortunatley was unhappy today. I requested to change my type of egg & it had come to my suprise they can not change it. To change from a fried to a scrambled, i just dont understand how this requirement couldnt be done. Due to personal reasons i struggle eating various foods so now i have left hungry & disappointed. Thank you foxes.

Good vibes friendly folks and the younger ones gave me great respect for the elders coffee tea and alcohol served here nicely kept inside and clean would.visit.again

Lovely place, friendly staff, amazing drinks, well worth a visit!

Delicious breakfast, proper good coffee and friendly staff, recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What a blast is this Cafe! Great atmosphere and very good service. Great coffee and a brilliant breakfast. My beans were cold but everything else was delicious 😋.

"Hot chocolate " tiède, toast banal avocat, fromage. Ok pour les chiens, 🐶 mais cher .

We live around here but never came across this cafe! Glad we've found another cafe that we can visit to get proper coffee and brunch food.

Lovely food and friendly service 😋

A lovely lunch with a colleague

Toddler friendly Great cosy atmosphere, lovely food and the staff are brilliant, they really go above and beyond. I brought my 2 year old and they were fab with him, great comfy highchairs (the ikea ones) and they brought a box of wooden toys to play with along with some lovely books. There are foxes hidden around the cafe that we enjoyed finding. Highly reccommend.

There was dead flies in a cobweb and a need for dusting/sweeping. We received a friendly greeting but had to wait too long to place our order, then also for drinks and food. The board outside advertises food that isn’t on the menu. The apple juice was concentrated.

Card only payment. It was my first visit here. A delightful and busy little cafe close to the Cathedral and Tullie. There's on street disc parking nearby, and with its close proximity to the city centre, there are ample car parks to choose from. There are good public transport links to the city as well. Dogs are allowed. Helpful and friendly staff who were very efficient. A good choice of hot and cold beverages, to sit in or take away. The cups are fabulous. They all have something descriptive written on the bottom. What will yours say? A wide choice of breakfasts, including vegetarian and vegan. Light meals and sweet treats are available, too. The cafe is split across two levels. The upper level is accessed by stairs. This is where the compact toilet facilities are located. I want to go again to sample more of the menu. Today, I went with the Little Foxes breakfast, Earl Grey tea, and a chocolate Brownie.

First time visitors to foxes, we weren't disappointed. One full foxes breakfast and a bagel, with cheese egg and bacon bagel, all freshly cooked. We'd originally stopped to have breakfast at dobies garden centre, but it looked awful and dried up, so decided to head further into town. Foxes is near the cathedral, in a lovely area of town. The cafe staff were lovely, the cafe clean and cute, love the furniture and decor. My cappuccino was hot, as I like it, not lukewarm. Gorgeous place, with nice food and atmosphere.

Found this place online while driving through carlisle heading to do part of Haidrians wall, we found it easy and we loved it! the food was lovely and the service was 1st class.

This place is now my favourite breakfast place! The eggs are amazing and everything is perfect. The chocolate milkshakes are on point, and I recommend this little, tucked away cafe to anyone looking for a breakfast place to meet up with friends or meet new people. Everyone is really friendly!

Love going here the food is delicious and the staff are so friendly and helpful

Lovely atmosphere, delicious food and coffee! We were very glad we happened to come across this place! 😃

Food is always amazing, staff very friendly

Had a great breakfast. And lovely coffee.

Came here one Saturday morning, it was busy but they were able to seat us. The food was brilliant and the staff were a delight as always.

Always a good place to grab brekky and a smoothie.

Went here during trip to Carlisle. Great chilled out atmosphere. Super service. Food was yummy, The American Fox was memorable. The eggs in the eggs Benedict could have been bit runnier. The Mocha was delicious, one of best i've had. Loved the names at bottom of coffee cups. Highly recommended.

Really nice cafe with a great menu. Good coffee and great food! Highly recommend a visit!

Omg Xmas pancakes were out of this world can't wait to come back

Food is always lovely here. The white hot chocolate is absolutely divine. The customer service is always good. Close to The Cathedral and the castle for Carlisle visitors.

Lovely place to eat food was delicious and the staff very nice👍

Tasty food and very friendly staff

We came here last minute for lunch and it was brilliant. The staff were absolutely lovely and always had a smile on their face. The food was very nice. Will 100% be back.

What a find!! Great food, one of the best Breakfasts going. We both had the American Fox the latte was also on form.

Fantastic place for breakfast! I loved the atmosphere, it was extremely cozy. The food was delicious, maybe the best bacon I've ever had. I loved the berry and banana pancakes too. If you're in the area definitely stop in here for breakfast. The waitresses were kind and they were very quick with everything too. Even the music selection was fun!

Nice breakfast! Just needed a bit more, mushrooms abd blackpudding would have completed the offering .

Stopped here for breakfast yesterday, which was lovely! I had a gluten free cooked breakfast, and my partner had a vegetarian cooked breakfast, both were great! Quick, and friendly service, and a nice quiet little lounge.

Overall it was nice. I just thought it was a bit pricey

Nice mocha. Comfy feel to the place.

Had a lovely breakfast here with my daughter while visiting Carlisle. The coffee was good too. Staff were very friendly and gave us advice of places to visit. We went to Tullie Museum after which is just over the road and an antique shop in the Cathedral grounds that one of the girls told us about. Thank you, can’t wait to come back.

Lovely small cafe. Great for kids. Fabulous pancakes and breakfast. Amazing milkshakes.

The staff were very welcoming, our food arrived quickly considering how busy the place was. My little one Loved the teddy bear art, very impressive. I’ve heard good things about Foxes and I wasn’t disappointed. 🦊

Two girls were very rude pretty much rolled their eyes at me as I asked to order while one stood around and rolled a fag. The food was awful the sausage was like it was mirowaved couldn’t even get a knife through it. Only one member of staff (dark, short hair with glasses) was helpful. Unwelcoming experience, expensive, awful food never again.

Sehr gemütlich. Würden wir jederzeit wieder besuchen.

Use every now and then, always great service and great food, always worth the journey.

Great breakfast stop with our young daughter. Friendly staff, good atmosphere and food. Got there around 0900 and it filled up fast!

Nice and friendly. Excellent coffee, interesting menu

Very cute cafe who do excellent milkshakes and breakfasts.

The food was OK just about lukewarm

Father's day breakfast, pancakes bacon and maple syrup, excellent, quick service, not too busy but if was early, will be back,

Very friendly service but the food was below average. We had full breakfast and pancakes. Our order was delivered very quick, too quick. It couldn't be freshly prepared in the short time so it must have been reheated/microwaved. Food was not properly warm. Prices are ok.

Lovely staff, excellent food. I took kids portion and I was full ☺

Very good place. And comfortable and friendly

Looks OK from outside ,cozy in the inside . Service was fast but breakfast was sorry to say was look warm and the same for my mocha . Big let down 😒😒

They have a breakfast called ‘the herbivore’ and unless you ask for it to be vegan you will get eggs on it. Also after spending 6 years plant based eating I know when I’ve accidentally eaten non vegan food. Today after eating the breakfast my stomach has been awful. I believe the mushrooms were cooked in the same oil as the meat and eggs. Hopefully I will be better tomorrow.

Lovely spot, staff were super friendly and brought a toy for my baby

Very nice place, enjoyed my visit to the cafe. Staffs were very friendly, some good seats (table seat and couch seat by the window), offered pancakes, sandwiches and soup, coffee, smoothie, wraps. Ordered the American breakfast and a halloumi and mushroom wrap, really liked it. Dog friendly. Some good music and won several Carlisle cafe awards.

lovely cosy little cafe.....staff were great....we all enjoyed a late breakfast 5 star A1 top class....hidden gem of a place

Food was good, staff were lovely and great location near the castle and cathedral

Excellent service and great tasting food!

Very helpful and friendly staff. Enjoyed a great cappuccino here. The cake was really lovely!

My fave coffee spot at the moment, Beccie is super friendly and makes my day whenever I visit :)

I visited today with my 18 month old and staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Food arrived quickly and was fresh and delicious. Will definitely be returning. Great experience

First time visiting and did not disappoint. Friendly, attentive service with great variety of breakfast options. One of the best, tastiest sausages I've eaten in a while!

Fabulous breakfast,I'll be back.

Small blonde girl is rubbish, she took our orders but made it seemed like we didn't belong. She brought over wrong food, and didn't apologise. She seemed like she was stressed out with the cafe barely being full. Much be a new started because me...

Got a vanilla latte and a blended ice latte. Neither drink are actually consumable. They are disgusting. Very disappointing.

Brilliant find. Excellent coffee, super friendly staff and free samples of yummy cakes. Going to be my home from home.

Very busy place, friendly staff, good service, nice breakfast. Will be back to try lunch ☺️
