Printroom Cafe & Bar in Lancaster

Quiet little pseudos corner: sandals , notebooks, scribbling, armpit hair, yesterdays Guardian, roll ups. Top place really. Croissant served without butter (a sin in my book), coffee cup really well worn in. Nobody smoking Gauloises outside. Now that would have been great.

We had coffees here on arrival in Lancaster then returned for a meal late afternoon. Very relaxed and friendly cafe in an unusual and stylish location. Food and drinks were great and fleshly prepared (so don’t expect fast food).

Amazing place to grab a coffee with a friend. The atmosphere is really chill and the staff are lovely. It's study friendly so it's a really nice place to go with your laptop if you need a change of scenery while working. Would highly recommend.

Lovely service, artwork, coffee, cakes and lunch menu

A great place to meet friends or do some work with the free WiFi. Nice coffee and some unusual teas. I had Hedgerow which was purple like ribena and very fruity to taste. There's also beet root tea and macha which are great if you're passing on caffeine today. Friendly and welcoming staff and plenty of comfortable seating inside and handy benches and tables outside when it's not raining. Finally try their citrus infused water. Goes well with a morning double espresso!

Beautiful cafe, great food with friendly service

On the road heading north to Scotland, we needed somewhere to pause for breakfast so that we could join a business meeting remotely. Good wifi a must, and nice breakfast and coffee would be an added bonus. The Print Room delivered on all fronts. We were a bit concerned about the background music, but actually on the morning we visited, the noise levels were just right. Not so loud that we couldn’t be heard; not so quiet that our conversations could be heard by everyone else. The breakfast definitely exceeded our expectations - for £20 total, the two of us enjoyed 2 courses and coffee. And there were healthy options rather than the “full English” list of cooked breakfasts. Granola (which, I am thrilled to say, did not come in a plastic pottle!) for us both, and later a bacon roll and a cinnamon roll. The cabinet food looked expensive (£4.50 for the cinnamon roll), so the menu items must have been especially excellent value, as was the coffee. Everything came out in good time, and you can pour your own water so it’s a good spot for rehydrating. For parking, the Dallas Rd carpark is just a 5 minute walk away. The cafe is also close to the station, if you are arriving in Lancaster by train. One to remember.

We came here for a quick lunch, 2 adults and 2 kids. The cafe is well stocked with a lot of choice of coffee and teas. The barista who took our order was extremely helpful, they were more than happy to customise their sandwiches to cater for our kids preferences. The food and drink arrived promptly and was tasty, made with good quality ingredients, four drinks and four sandwiches came to about £35.

Great beetroot latte and good vibes for getting work done as well.

Cakes and brew brill 👍 ( gf cake too)

Excellent staff and great service and food is out of this world 🌎

Delicious coffee, cakes and light bites- perfect for grabbing a quick lunch or whiling away an afternoon! The artwork changes regularly too

With a very early start that morning and now time to kill between trains at Lancaster we walked towards town from the station looking for breakfast and came across the Printroom Cafe and were so glad we did. A lovely lady serving behind the bar took our order and brought us delicious food - /real/ bacon in the bacon sandwich and lovely crunchy toast under my eggs. We shall be visiting again when doing train journeys via Lancaster.

Always lovely here, great coffee 🙂

Nice...just needs a bit more oomph on customer service...

Flavoursome food. Good to have the chance to sit outside.

Very good lunch, very tasty sandwiches and cakes. Highly recommended if you are in Lancaster.

Visiting Lancaster for a graduation just heppen to walk pasted looking for somewhere for breakfast found this place very nice. I had salmon on toast and a coffee both very tasty.

Love this place, peaceful, wide variety of drinks and lunchtime food.

Great stop for late lunch. Good quality food, very friendly staff, recommended.

Excellent Service and quality products and drinks. Will definitely return 💥

I love this cafe . Everything on the menu is delicious . Would highly recommend. The bread is make by a local bakery and everything is great quality .

Very good cafe. Coffee is lovely and the cakes are delicious.

Why do cafes like The Print Room buy the cheapest ingrediants and charge top prices? Their loose leaf black tea is unbelievably awful. Just one sip leaves a really nasty bitter taste on your tounge. It really could not be drunk. A whole bag of decent Yorkshire loose leaf tea costs the same as one cup of Print Room tea. I went home and made a pot of decent tea!

Best coffee ever nice setting and quick service !!

We have made our first visit in nearly two years and the atmosphere is the same as before. Lovely tea and friendly service with good WiFi facility. The only thing missing were the old comfy chairs-a consequence of the pandemic.

Great food, great teas & coffee, really friendly, helpful staff...all set in the lovely old Storey Institute building (near the train station) with the option of eating outside in their adjoining (and beautiful) city centre "hidden garden". All-in-all, a jolly civilised way to relax!

Lovely find for great coffee, cake and sandwiches, authentically done at reasonable prices and great service. Peaceful venue for a chat, read or work. Gardens are a delightful extra, an oasis from the city.

Fabulous. Great coffee and cakes and nice relaxing atmosphere.

Regular visitor pre 2020 ... wonderful place to work or relax

Enjoyed my vegan soup of the day. Coffee good too interesting surroundings tucked in near the castle

This is a pleasant cafe which serves good vegetarian food. Coffee is excellent . There was also a good selection of cakes.. reading material of books and newspapers.

I love it and the staff and food 🙂

Great coffee and a selection of Lancaster’s finest food and drink! Great place to study or chat with friends!

Good cafe, food is ace and coffee is very good!!

Got a coffee and worked there all day with good WiFi no hassles

Lovely relaxed environment. Enjoyed a very pleasant coffee served with a smile. A welcome change from the offerings on the high street. Local ales from Lancaster Brewery

Visited twice, and both times enjoyed the cafe. Staff are very friendly and the coffee is nice. Good location too.

Really good coffee and kind personal

Really nice ambiance, pleasant staff and good food. The menu is a little limited but what they do offer is good.

Great filter coffee and one of the best toasties that I've ever had. Well worth a visit. 👍

It was my first visit to Lancaster and I came across the Print Room . Lovely staff and coffee. I also went into the garden and had a lovely chat with the volunteers working in there . Well worth a visit

This café bar is located in a building called "The Storey" not far from the train station. We had two flat whites which cost £2.50 each. It is pleasantly decorated and housed in an interesting building which also has a large garden that is free to visit.

Great place to work in the Lancaster City Centre. The coffee is really good and the Cafe offers free filter refills for students! The staff and incredibly friendly and go the extra mile.

Great place to have a coffee and relax. The prices are a bit higher then in other similar places in town, but the bar is less crowded and therefore more enjoyable. The coffee tastes great and the staff is really kind.

Ideal place to pop in after a tour round the castle. Good loos, comfortable seating, warm welcome, varied options for food and drink and enough space to enjoy your refreshments in an attractive atmosphere.

Relaxed atmosphere and good coffee. Some really comfy sofas.

Stopped in after visiting the castle. Excellent soup with tasty bread that tasted homemade and a good range of coffees. Great value

We walked down from the Priory and Castle into the Storey and were surprised at what a lovely warm and welcoming place the Printroom cafe is. Our group had warming soups and toasties which everyone raved over, followed by a selection of hot drinks and craft beers. All delicious and very reasonable , we just wish we had had room for the wonderful cakes on sale .

We again held our annual buffet meal for Fairfield volunteers at the Storey Printroom. It is an excellent venue for such an event with about 30 people enjoying a tasty buffet meal and the freedom to move around and socialise in an attractive space. Friendly and efficient service from the staff.

We hired the Printoom for the evening in early Feb for a reunion of around 40 people, and it was excellent, great food and the staff were amazing. It is perfect for such a gathering in the heart of great building which itself is in the heart of an awesome city

Lovely coffee, best hot chocolate and great ambience. Highly recommended.

Lovely cafe, relaxed atmosphere. Terrific homemade cakes and soup. Ideal location opposite the castle and minutes from the station.

This is a very nice cafe in the old Mechanics Institute, alongside the Lancaster Tourist office. The building has been tastefully preserved with excellent disabled access. The cafe serves a wide range of drinks and snacks at reasonable prices, although my cappuccino coffee and my wife's latte could both have been a little hotter.

Posto davvero carino e rilassante in cui fermarsi a bere un caffè o una cioccolata calda. Personale gentile. A disposizione anche dei dolci invitanti.

Popped in for tea and coffee on way to Lancaster Castle glad we did. The lady that served us would brighten up any day with her welcoming manner. Drinks were great too. Recommend a visit.

Came across this place by chance on our way to Lancaster Castle...and so glad we did. Lovely quiet place with good coffee, nice simple food and newspapers etc. My macchiato was a little bitter and bitty, but my girlfriend loved her latte. The flapjack was delicious too.

Sofas, newspapers, great coffee, lovely strong tea, friendly barista, quirky surroundings, reasonable prices - what more could you ask for?

The atmosphere is great here, whether you go to socialise or to work with a nice coffee and cake! The prices are great and they offer a breakfast/lunch menu which looks great although I have yet to try it myself.

We had an academic conference dinner for around 40 guests at The Printroom Cafe/Storey (hosted in the Music Room). The venue were completely receptive to our requests, which resulted in a lovely, varied tapas-style menu, presented in a banquet style, giving people plenty of opportunity to chat and mingle. Feedback from attendees was excellent, and we would be happy to host future events here.

Small independent cafe located in the tourist information office with a variety of seating options inside & outside. We got there at 11.00 when I thought the food choice was a bit limited but the quality was very good and there was enough for our mid morning break. Coffee was above average and better than some of the big chains.

We were visiting Lancaster and came across this place for lunch. We were very impressed. We both had soup and a sandwich, but there were specials to choose from and delicious looking cakes. Coffee was good and strong, and a good selection of teas. Lovely bread !

Customer service awful. I ordered and paid for 2 coffees, only one was brought to the table. I went to counter to ask for the other, was told that I only ordered one and the receipt (which I had not been given)only said one. The member of staff insisted that it was my mistake, another member of staff said “Oh well if she says she has paid better give her another coffee then”. I was made to feel like I was conning them and I was rather upset.Needless to say neither of us enjoyed our coffees in this atmosphere and we will not visit this cafe again.

Great tasting coffee and cakes. Cups maybe a little on the small side but unbeatable quality. Rejoicing at the site of loose leaf tea too!

Nicely located café and bar that serves teas, coffees, fruit juice, and also a variety of interesting beers.

Huge and spacious, we struggled to find a seat for the 5 of us and a pram. So many customers on a Thursday mid morning!

Especially when we are going away for a few days and want to start with a treat.

I had lunch in here while waiting for a train, so I mainly chose the place for location. The service was perfectly polite and friendly, and the café itself was fine.

Stopped by for lunch and the food was all good, except the mushroom soup left something to be desired...but would still recommend.

Located close to Lancaster Castle and the train station makes this a fantastically convenient place to eat or grab a coffee when I visit Lancaster. And if you have the pleasure of being looked after by Mike, you're in luck!

We were very pleased to find this cafe open on the early May Bank Holiday Monday. It provided welcome refreshment during our brief visit to Lancaster on our way north. The coffee was good and there were some interesting cakes to choose from. Sofas and lounge chairs are available as well as upright chairs at tables.

I pop into the Print Room either after coming out of the Railway Station or on the way back. It is always spotless and the staff are efficient. I particularly like the espresso and the vegetarian sandwiches.

The printroom is situated on the ground floor of the Storey Creative Centre, above is a hub of creative businesses and spaces, one would think the food and drink offering would be suitable creative also... not, no better than a costa, good quality but functional

A pleasant cafe with a large selection of teas, coffees and craft beers if you fancy something stronger. Modern style. Excellent value.

We were looking for the Tourist Information Centre and happily found this lovely café in the same building. Busy and popular with all kinds of people, from mums with toddlers to those having business meeting and, of course, visitors to Lancaster. Relaxed atmosphere and non-obtrusive background music.

I don't often get to eat out what with being a crazy busy type, but had a rare Friday all to myself, so popped along to Print Room on a friend's recommendation for a treat. A treat it was.
