Off the Wall Coffee Shop in Carlisle

The best coffee in Brampton! We love coming here for coffee and breakfast. Very friendly owner, Emma and her lovely baristas work hard to get your order just right. There are a great range of coffee, tea and home made cakes as well as savoury hot food. The place is often bustling with cosy chat, interesting art work on the walls (Emma has artist’s displays each month) and it’s also dog friendly too. Just a great place.

My wife and I were wandering around Brampton at lunchtime today and came across ‘Off the Wall’. Excellent food and friendly service, with a slightly ‘alternative’ ambience; thoroughly recommend it!

Quite a find!! Just on a stroll through Brampton and happened upon this cafe. The food was lovely had a good variety of things. Everything we had was lovely. Bacon sandwich, soup, Cornish pasty! Service and staff were really polite and lovely too. If we are passing through again we will defiantly stop again. Lovely!

After trawling the very limited supermarkets for a gluten-free sandwich, I tried this place, had had coffee here before. I was not disappointed, they made me a lovely tuna mayo roll with salad and a few crisps at a very reasonable cost. Very tasty, will definitely be back!

The food and coffee is ok. The service is terrible, you have to look at the menu outside, then pay at the door before taking a seat. This is so the staff don't have to do table service. Utter confusion.

1st time ordering coffee from this place. Really good COVID procedures. Good tasting Latte. Will be visiting again for coffee.

Only spotted this cafe tucked away but well worth the effort. Had lunch there today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lovely coffee in various sizes and I had soup and a sandwich while my wife had a panini. Various different fillings and a salad garnish. Good value, friendly welcome and Covid aware staff.

first time here. ordered various sandwiches within our group. I had brie and cranberry sandwich. Lovely, with really nice salad garish. Would call again if in the area.

Exceptional cherry Bakewell tart. Friendly service where nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended!

Stopped here for coffee and sat outside. Coffee was excellent and I suspect that many of those frequenting the place are locals rather than visitors. That's always a good sign. Staff were cheerful and friendly and if in Brampton again I would choose to drop by for another coffee and lunch if it was that time of day.

I visited here with my mum for a mid-week lunch. I have been before but it was my mum's first time. There is no dedicated parking but it is on the main street in Brampton so there is lots of parking close by. We visited just before the Corona lockdown so it was very quiet. We both ordered soup. I chose a Mars Bar cake and my mum chose a scone. The soup was delicious. It didn't need any seasoning whatsoever. So yummy! My cake was pretty good. Not spectacular, but very nice. My mum said her scone was very nice as well. The prices were reasonable for the quality of the food. The service was pretty good. I will definitely re-visit should I be in the area again. Even if it is just to grab a cake to go.

Quirky little cafe which served excellent coffee and a lovely sandwich(mushrooms and emmental) inan interestingly decorated room

Lovley cosy pet friendly cafe in the heart of Brampton good value and quality products. Will be back

We've been to a few cafes in and around Brampton but have found this one to be just a little more special. Family run, very relaxed with good service, dog friendly and...licensed so enjoying an afternoon bottle of beer. They know how to make good coffee and actually give you a choice of 3 sized cups with more than just one shot of coffee. Cakes and treats are a decent size and and they cater for vegan and gf too.

Off the Wall is a cracking little coffee shop. Whether you need a caffiene pick me up or a light meal to get you through the day. This place has great ambience and friendly staff as well as wifi for those who dont want to sit and chat. The food is darn tasty and caters for most tastes, from Bacon butties to GF cakes.

Come to off the wall every day for coffee and a chat - it is my second home. Cappuccinos are the best I have ever tasted, All staff are so warm, friendly and polite, they too have become my friends. Service and cleanliness excellent all round no problems or complaints with anything. I will always be a loyal customer to off the wall for ever. By far the best coffee shop in Brampton.

Stopped here as part of hadrians wall cycle trip We were wet (no surprise, it is cumbria) and hungry. We were met with welcoming staff and had wonderful tasty food. The selection of sweet treats especially the cakes was amazing

Great coffee & cakes, dog friendly - they've been open 10 years today, Happy Birthday, all customers today received a complimentary drink...nice touch, thank you! ☕️😊

We love coming here for coffee and one of the great cakes. They used to do a lot of gluten free options but have stopped recently, which is not great for me as I can’t eat wheat. Bring back the gluten free! Apart from that, we go here because it’s cosy, they have lovely people serving and it’s got a range of specials and interesting teas.

Everything was champion! Friendly staff, tasty food, prompt service. Had the daily specials which were delicious. Even tolerated our soggy dogs!

Lovely soup for lunch in this comfy, warm and welcoming little place. Super friendly staff. Went back again for a cappuccino. Very nice!

Not glamorous, but gives a feeling of walking into an old friends for a cuppa. We keep returning and are rewarded each time. Great coffee and basic tea room foods. Soups great for winter lunches we have found and would go there just for those. O-course hard to resist a tempting cake to follow. friendly welcoming staff. Careful not to miss it as entrance tucked away opposite parking near the Post Office.

Went for lunch and everyone was lovely and the food is delicious. Would recommend this place for a catch up with family and friends.

Lovely home made cakes so much choice different soup every day paninis baked potato very good choice for vegetarians and fab coffee

this café has everything one could need for a lovely lunch or anytime . Visited here last year while staying in the area on holiday. When we came back this year we had to visit again. Lovely friendly, helpful staff, good coffee and food.

As a solo diner with dog i was made feel very welcome - and as a Veggie i usually struggle to get something a bit different . I was pleasantly surprised with the choice in this cafe, i chose a tasty SunDried Tomato Quiche and special salad that i really enjpoyed, i also saw that there was Welsh Raebit on the menu and you dont see that very often, which i plan on having on my next visit.......

Very friendly staff, excellent soup and bread. Dog-friendly, which is always a bonus on a damp day and you don't have to sit outside!

Stopped here for lunch. A charming cafe with very friendly staff, offering very good coffee and tea, and an interesting lunch menu. Tucked away in a corner, so easy to miss, but well worth a visit. Its art-themed decor adds to its charm.

As a passing visitor a local florists shop recommended this lovely little cafe which i had missed as i walked past.

Had lunch here with my daughter, brie and chutney pannini and kids beans on toast, both tasty. The decor is nice and cosy and we had a game of dominos whilst finishing our drinks. The staff were friendly and attentive, would go back if in Brampton again.

I love the fresh and tasty food served here especially the super food salad, hummus pitta bread and olives. staff friendly and very helpful.

Having frequented off the wall on and off over the years, I’ve had the opinion that it was? Slightly on the dear side. However today I was surprised to find cakes for £2 only coffee slightly bitter. BUT this is the blend not the quality perhaps a soft Kenyan. Or Costa Rica. I’m guessing buts it’s similar to blue mountain ie strong, which is fine. The atmosphere is very friendly and dogs are welcomed

We had our touring caravan sited at Hunley Farm between Brampton & Longtown and we decided to take a trip into Brampton for Coffee. The venue is very different to most "Coffee Shops" we've been to previously. The coffee was excellentb and served in a good sized cup. The venue also had Wi-Fi so I was able to catch up with my e-mails and the latest news about the Football Team I support namely Newcastle United so I was a happy bunny.

We called in for a cuppa on a cold, wet afternoon and were made very welcome. There’s a great selection of teas and coffees plus delicious snacks, scones and cakes. The staff are very friendly and helpful and I thoroughly recommend a visit, we will definitely go back.

The Off the Wall coffee shop is an unobtrusive little place, tucked away in a corner bang in the centre of the town. It's a popular place for shoppers to take a break, people to meet, etc. The hot beverages are fist rate and piping hot, and the home made mince pie I had there a few days ago was one of the most delicious I've eaten. It inspired me to go home and bake a batch of my own!

Lovely staff. Lovely food. Lovely Atmosphere. It really is "Off the Wall". It is very easy to walk past, as it is tucked away in the corner. However, if you do manage to find it, it is worth a look. Beautiful cakes and coffee. Would recommend.

What a lovely place to take the weight off your feet in Brampton. Lovely coffee, great breakfasts (I love the bacon sandwich when we go in for breakfast) and fantastic cakes available all day in a really welcoming environment with interesting artwork on the wall. Even met a fellow Miniature Schnauzer today when I went in with my mum and dad! Oh yes, the added bonus is that well behaved dogs are welcome and we Miniature Schnauzers are exemplary when we get together. Well worth a visit so don’t forget to pop in when you’re next in Brampton. Look forward to meeting you there.

Had a lovely lunch with turkey and cranberry sandwich on gf bread followed by a dairy free cake We visited because on the website they state that they cater for all dietary needs and they did - thank you very much !

A very friendly place tucked away in a corner. We had soup and sandwiches - both were freshly made and tasty. Definitely worth popping in if you fancy a spot of lunch or a coffee.

Called for a coffee and snack while passing through Brampton and glad I stopped. It is tucked away in a charming corner with inside and a few outside seats, great cup of coffee and food was excellent - a range of home made cakes and scones, breakfasts and lunches plus specials. Seemed very much a locals café which is no detriment although could be a problem for the first time visitor that they take cash only and no card facility but bank terminal is only 50 yards away.

Stopped off here for a morning coffee after a walk around Brampton. Lovely place. Coffee and scone were fab.It was a decent day, so sat at outside table and watched the world go by!

A lively coffee shop hidden in a dark corner of Front Street serving a selection of teas, coffees, soft drinks and their own locally made cakes and scones. Also available are breakfast rolls and lunches. Well used by locals, and tourists finding themselves 'off' Hadrian's Wall which is nearby. Well worth a visit when visiting the small town of Brampton - just off the A69 road between Carlisle and Newcastle.

recently visited,, and the charm and quirkiness appealed to us /only had coffee and cake which were great/busy and popular with a lot of regulars I think

This place makes all its own pastries, cookies, and breads. AND I had the absolute best cup of coffee in my entire UK visit. A surprisingly diverse range of customers, too. I got some kind of stuffed cookie or pastry to go and then wish I had gotten more. It was SO good! Nice place to sit and read or use the free, no-hassle wifi.

Homemade,fresh,good selection,nice staff,good decor,busy place which is a good sign of how nice it is.

We almost missed this little place it is tucked right in a corner! Called in for a coffee and cake/scone after a bit of shopping in this lovely little place. Was clean fairly busy and staff were friendly and welcoming. Had a nice half hour relaxing a scone and bit of cake went down well with us! They make a lovely cup of tea!

stopped here on way to visit a friend in Newcastle...tasty homemade soup and sandwich, friendly service and reasonably prices, thanks :)

Great little cafe for a bite to eat we often nip in for lunch Staff are always really friendly and the food is fresh

Only used for coffees, but you're made to feel welcome, good service and dog-friendly. Food choice looks interesting, will get around to eating one day..... certainly my choice for a coffee when in Brampton.

Lovely unique wee cafe very comfortable inside.Friendly staffThey make a mean scone.Dogs allowed which is great as we only visit places where our dog can go.Will definitely be back.

Always a warm welcome and is so cosy and welcoming on a cold day. The meals is very well prepared with good service and very tasty. Their own bakery is next door and seems they make all their own. If anyone needs GF it is very good with breads and soup and they will check ingredients of dressings etc for you.Lots of locals, visitors to the town and people doing Hadrian's wall are there every day, it's always bus, and I will be back many times! ps Boris Johnson visited recently while cycling the wall route, but don't let that put you off ;-)

This is a cute wee cafe hidden away in a corner of the pretty town of Brampton.It has some really comfy sofas and chairs at low tables just to enjoy a cup of their delicious coffee as well as dining tables for food, I've only ever had coffee but the food being served looked mighty tasty.Staff are extremely welcoming and pleasant.

Having visited Brampton for the first time, we just needed somewhere to grab a drink and a quick bite. So jumped on Trip Advisor and the staff at the hotel we stayed in also pointed us to 'off the wall' We ordered two pots of tea (which was PG tips, which is simply the best) and also two Bacon and egg panini's (which came with salad and crisps, which is new to me) Food was fine, although crispy bacon needs to be crispy and the pot of tea great. meal came in about £13 for two, so fairly priced. Not to busy, served very quickly and then on our way!

We were looking for a cafe to sit outside in Brampton, and OTW fitted the bill. Clearly popular, it was full inside. We ordered tea, coffee, crumpets and a 'glass of cheesecake' - my friend thought this very nice but given that I am writing the review and I thought the quality of the tea poor, OTW is being downgraded. It is possible that too few teabags were used for the pot, or it was simply not a decent quality, but as someone who normally drinks tea by the gallon, I actually had to leave half of this as it was so insipid. Shame! Free wifi.

Lovely place to relax and have coffee or tea with a cake or sandwiches. Not very big inside and it's always busy

Tucked away in the corner nearly missed this lovely coffee shop. Staff were friendly, food was delicious and large choice of sandwiches, pannines and toasties as well as all day breakfast. Art work displayed on walls for sale and notice board showing photos of groups that have used the coffee shop.Friendly atmosphere and not made to feel we had to hurry our meal.

I have been coming here since the doors opened in 2009. I love this place and pop in once or twice a week. I often meet friends here and it's a great place for meet ups and for tourists too. Great food is on offer here and there is a choice of healthy, gluten free and vegetarian. The homemade hummus whole food salad is fabulous and so are the coffees. Local artwork is on display in this hip cafe, so when you come to Brampton, treat yourself

Found this little place on a recent visit to Bampton. superb coffee just the way we asked them to make it, great little light bites too the paninis we had were excellent and great value for money. Inside is really nice with lovely big armchairs and they do allow dof=gs in always a plus for us. Great little place well worth a visit.

I cannot comment on the food but I can on the service.My friend and I popped in after reading good reviews on Trip Advisor.We walked in, none of the staff looked in our direction, no smile, no acknowledgement. Sat for 10mins..nothing. ..staff served the table right next to us too.We put our coats on and left totally disgusted.Shame on you for your total lack of customer service and manners!

Lovely little Main Street cafe, lots of choice, clean, friendly staff, very reasonable prices. So happy a nice surprise! We will be back. The desserts & cakes looked lovely, but we were due back in Carlisle. Shame!

This cafe is literally one of my favourites. Really good food, coffee and friendly staff. The atmosphere is always friendly, relaxing and cosy so I would definitely recommend a visit!

good atmosphere, good service and good coffee and cake (me). My 3 companions had the soup and bread and loved it. Excellent on a freezing day.

This coffee shop is a really popular place to go to. There is a variety of foods on offer and the hot chocolate is lovely. The staff are friendly and attentive. A lovely place to go to on a really cold day like today.

My partner visited here for a takeout coffee and said it was lovely, so we both visited yesterday for lunch. The food was beautiful with very generous portions. The hot drinks we ordered were a great size, I had a festive drink the humbug hot chocolate which was beautiful. The cakes were also lovely. Very reasonably priced. Will definitely return.

I really enjoy Off the Wall and go frequently for tea and cakes or lunch. It is a cozy, friendly atmosphere - with a buzz to it - and I can even bring my dog! All of the artwork on the walls comes from local artists, and there is a lot of information about local events. So, it is a good community venue. But I think it would be equally pleasing to people who are just travelling through the area. The food is standard cafe fare, but I like the fact that they have gluten-free options, including gluten-free cakes and biscuits. They have a bakery next door (also with gluten-free options). I think that Off the Wall is like a wine that gets better with age.

Great little place, tucked away in a corner opposite the post office in the centre of the village.Proper coffee, nice cakes, rather pricey though.Two tables outside.

A great little place that makes a real contribution to the community in and around Brampton. I usually don't like cakes and tarts, but Off the Wall's Bakewell Tart is incredible. A masterpiece of homemade jam, icing and crisp pastry! We also had a tasty homemade vegetable soup. My only slight gripe is pricing policy. I've never been to a place that charges £2.99 or £1.56, usually prices are rounded up. But this doesn't detract from the excellent food and service.

Regular visitors here as it is comfortable and serves good tea, coffee and cakes. Now has an excellent bakery shop next door.

Tucked away just off the main street and well decorated for Halloween on our visit. Good coffee comes in huge cups and the cakes are very good. The cafe is very much a part of the community and has local art on the walls for sale. Friendly staff and good food at a fair price.

We were very warmly welcomed. We saw "Tea Bread" on the menu and had to ask what that was. It is lovely, slightly sweet bread with lots of sultanas and nuts and tastes delicious! Good coffee, too.

We popped in for breakfast on holiday in Farlam. Very much enjoyed the friendly folks as well as the coffee and hot breakfast (limited menu, but much more than just a scone!).

Perfect place to stop, I had a lovely hot cappuccino coffee and others were enjoying lovely pastries and cakes and a well earned elevenses, very relaxing, well looked after and with free wifi and a parking disc, I will certainly return when in the area, highly recommend

After the appalling service (non service) at the beautiful Lanercost Tea Rooms we escaped to this gem of a place: the complete opposite, friendly, clean, great food and service and they like dogs!!! We customers have a choice, we took it and were grateful for this gem of a place.

Been here many times. Never disappointing. Comfortable environment. Bonus is the regular display by local artists.

We were fortunate enough to stumble upon this cafe by accident as we walked around a corner.Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was good: we shared a panini, which was very tasty & generously sized, and a couple of scones, which were just right. Would definitely have gone back again for more scones or a cake if we were staying in town for longer.

Had coffee and cake. Don't miss the cake!!!! Saw other people eating lunch looked fine.I had the seed flapjack. Lovely

Love to come here as a treat to meet up with friends when I have my days off work. Great coffee, great food, great atmosphere

Small, hidden away coffee shop offering excellent service, and dog friendly too!Great strong coffee or huge pots of tea - yes, we visited twice! My children had cupcakes and struggled a bit with the size of them - huge!

I am very, very fussy about my coffee, flapjacks and vegetable soup...Flapjacks have to be just the right consistency - slightly crumbly, not too greasy... Coffee has to be just the right strength and not too bitter or too milky...and vegetable soup - well, I don't generally like vegetable soup.The flapjacks are as near perfect (to suit me) as you can get - they are HUGE as well, so in fact I'd be just as happy with a smaller one.The coffee is great.And the vegetable soup... it's the only vegetable soup I actually like, from anywhere, ever.

I've had a few thousand Bakewells in my time... but this one is stonkingly better than any! Massive, with gooey icing and moist filling, ample jam its very tasty indeed.(So large, my son said 'is that for 5 of us?') See photo.

Tucked away in a corner you can easily miss this hidden treasure.Delicious cakes and tray bakes, sandwiches and soup at very reasonable prices.The staff are always welcoming and you are served promptly and efficiently.pop in and see for yourself. Although beware it is often busy.

clean and cosy-good food excellent service-a very fond favourit for me and amy daughter to pop into after a hard day

Met here for coffee on Monday morning and there was hardly a table spare. It is quite deceiving just how big the place is. There's a good selection of coffee's and food and the cheese scone I had was very nice. I'll definitely return

Anyone who lives in Brampton already knows this is the best place to go for coffee and cake / lunch / afternoon tea. The staff are really lovely (hello Sonia) and the patisserie next door is amazing - not good for the diet though!

Being first time visitors to Brampton we popped in to this cafe for lunch. It was very clean and small scale. The menu was quite limited and my "toastie" wasn't very well toasted. However, the cakes looked delicious.

great little cafe in the middle of town, i love this place and its quirky atmosphere, lovely food and great atmosphere,

Had lunch today here and was nice. I think the jacket potatoes are frozen and microwaved not fresh. Came with a nice salad with a balsamic glaze and coleslaw. Enjoyed it but would of preferred a fresh potato instead of frozen. The tuna was ok needed a little more mayo and had slightly too much sweetcorn in. With the potato being microwaved from frozen the lack of mayo resulted in quite a dry tuna jacket. The place was busy (a good sign). Was reasonably priced too. Right in the center of Brampton. Would go back again but to try something other than a jacket potato. The staff on the till were friendly but not overly quick to serve you. Had to wait a few minutes but nothing too long. Nice little coffee shop in brampton.

Been in a few times just for the coffee. best in Brampton!Take out or sit in, fair price and th staff are always friendly and cafe well presented.

Nice cosy little cafe little cramped at times but not to bad. The food I've eaten here so far has been lovely although the prices are a bit high so only go for a treat when I can afford it. Staff are nice & friendly got a nice sample to try when I went in. Would go back.

Visit often and we are never let down. Homemade hummus is a delight and seeded panini of any variety come with great side salad. Cakes are divine and a large cappuccino really is large!

With my two dogs, I was made to feel very welcome - by staff and customers alike. A lovely coffee, with a home-made scone and change from a fiver!

Lovely. Just what you need when its chilly in June.. Good service. Good food in a lovely setting. Have been a few times & will definitely go again.

Quirky little place with terrific tea and cakes on offer. We didn't have lunch there, but the standard is so high it must be good! Tucked in a corner off the main Market Square, it was friendly and welcoming.

We stopped by to find shelter from the rain, and we didn't regret it. It was nice and cozy. Delicious coffee and food. Free wifi and nice stuff.They had everything decorated really lovely for halloween.

We were looking for a quick lunch and this cafe was suggested. The service and atmosphere were good and the food was reasonable. We would visit again.

Called in with family for light refreshments, lovely atmosphere. Great choice, we enjoyed the homemade soup of the day and panini pizzas. . . . Awesome.

Coffee was nice but it was too cramped and hot and not easy to navigate near the counter as people were bumping into each other. Also one member of staff was rude to a customer who asked a question about the menu and I felt uncomfortable for him.

We were in the little shop around the corner and asked the young lady if she could recommend somewhere for a snack/ light lunch and she recommended this place...pleased she didI got the tuna and cheese sandwich and my husband the soul and bread and two cans of pop approx £11A really quaint little placePlaying soft old music, seats outside and in, they have it just rightMy sandwich was perfect not too much may, served with crisps a little coleslaw and a really lovely fresh salad with dressing, my husbands soul was good with a wedge of soft brown bread too!!,Good pleasant service and good foodThanks for the recommendation

Quirky coffee shop,that was friendly and had home baked type cakes, sandwiches, snacks and great coffee.

This was a great find. An independently family cafe with nice coffee, cakes and good lunch food. The staff were really pleasant too! Next stop Hadrian's Wall.
