The Creme Cafe in Carlisle

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.

Good bacon sandwich that was served quickly. Decent value for money at £3. Place is a bit shabby with lots of hand written signs. Only take cash. Could have been awkward as I often only have a card and I didn't realise until after I had ordered

Nice friendly little cafe, just off the main shopping streets. Most people just walk past, but it is worth calling in. The two ladies who run it are lovely and friendly, the food is good and mostly home made and tasty. The cakes look good and they seem to have a lot of regulars that keep going back. If you are fed up with the Costa coffee type cafe's then you could maybe try some of the smaller independent shops, I like to give them a try you are often surprised.

Lovely friendly staff and what we ordered tasted amazingly.so happy with all include prices.x

Beautiful homemade food and lovely friendly service

Beautiful food we had delivered yesterday after my nanas funeral thank you so much xx

Just had a high tea delivered - it was first class. All the food was fresh and well presented - excellent. Would use them again x

Thank you so much Susan my 4 grandchildren were absolutely buzzing with their afternoon tea that we got them for being amazing during this horrible time we are all going through.Well worth every penny and plentiful .Will highly recommend to all .

I was surprised with an afternoon tea for two today, absolutely delicious and loads of choice. I can highly recommend. And the lady was so lovely and friendly. 5 stars all round 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We eat in the Creme Cafe three times a week .The food is all homemade and a good plateful, which is so lovely , don't get that in many cafes.There is a good varieties of different meals.Soups are lovely as all homegrown vegetables is used .If anyone leaves hungry it's not the owners fault as the menu is on the wall of full of different meals .Homemade ice cream is tasty .The owner goes all out to make your food and your stay worth while .So l say 100% fantastic all round.

Went for lunch after reading positive Trip Adviser reviews. We were not impressed. The lunch menu is limited, so we just had soup. One was uninteresting, one was salty. They only accepted cash (this was not advertised as far as we could see). The service was prompt.

I come from Dumfries twice a week and eat in the creme cafe the food is lovely and the staff very friendly. Worth a visit.

A varied menu which is reasonably priced. Everything was fine rather than amazing but it was value for money and there was a good choice. We ate savoury but some of the cakes looked delicious.

This was our first visit to these premises and went based on excellent reviews. We weren’t disappointed. Went at lunchtime on a Tuesday and it was quiet when we first went in but soon got pretty busy. We both had prawn Marie rolls and baguettes which were delicious. These were accompanied by side salad and crisps. Portions excellent too. We both had lattes and the best I’ve had for a while. They cater well for coeliacs. Service great and they also accept Dine Cards which was a bonus. Please be aware that it’s cash only. Can highly recommend

A little off the beaten track but well worth looking out for it. Warm welcome. I had fish finger sandwich with salad and crisps. R had sausage, mash, peas and gravy. All well cooked and delicious. Very good value.

On a trip advisor review came here and was not disappointed. Ordered a savoury cheese baguette and a tea. Hot baked baguette, lots of very tasty filling plus crisps and a side salad. Wish I had room for the home made rice pudding! Staff welcoming and helpfulIf visiting Carlisle you must pop in. You won’t be disappointed.

We'd not been here before so thought we'd try it. Very well presented and tasty sandwich and excellent curry. Price was very reasonable and the service was good

We eat there three times a week .All meals , cakes and ice creams are all home made .My husband has eaten nearly everything that is on the menu. Quiche is my favourite at the moment .So delicious too 100%Great meals

Absolutely fabulous friendly service good food can't wait to go back

We've just enjoyed a lovely lunch here. We both had quiche and salad and it had just been made. Very fresh ingredients. Everything on the menu seems homemade(even the ice cream) and very tasty. The service was great, very friendly and nothing too much trouble. Highly recommended.

Don't know what the fuss all about. It was ok. Vet soup was veg and water. Sandwich nice. Coffee good. Thought it but pricey.

We came here simply because of the TripAdvisor reviews and we were not disappointed. I had the lasagne and it was fantastic. The chocolate milkshake was great.

Planned to call here based on TripAdvisor reviews. Slightly put off by the cafe being empty, but so glad we chose to stay. Breakfast made from local produce at a very good price. Well worth a visit.

Needed lunch for 3 picky children and ourselves. Good home cooked food done well. Friendly service. All fed, all happy. Decent size cup for tea too!

The staff could not have been more helpful in advising my wife what she could eat (she has a dairy intolerance). And The food was lovely and accompanied by a good cup of tea. Definitely worth visiting

I found this little cafe on my way into town and went inside and was greeted by friendly smiles from the people working there.

Lovely cafe. Good food, good service. Has a goooood cup a char (cup of tea). Would definitely recommend

Had a lovely lunch here.Very friendly staff & very good selection of meals&desserts; all home made & very tasty & very generous portions would highly recommend.Lovely creme cafe

Cracking food lovely people. Home made ice cream was really good. Bloody good pot of tea, plenty of everything.

We eat there three days every week and the food is fabulous. Everything is home made.Ice cream and cheese cakes are both homemade too .

Called in while passing and decided to have a snack and coffee which was brilliant all homemade food excellent would give ten out of ten without a doubt .

Very friendly service, and the quiche of the day was sublime. Great breakfast or brunch spot.

Had soup followed by coffee and cake all home made , soup was a little under seasoned but that is just my taste , the staff were friendly and helpful ,a nice tearoom worth a visit if you are in Carlisle ,

Went for afternoon tea with my wife, the staff were very friendly and attentive. All food was homemade and delicious, very generous portions and anything you don't eat can be boxed and taken away. Fantastic place!

Had a very tasty lunch at the cafe! The homemade apple pie is really delicious! Super prices and friendly staff! Definitely worth a visit on a day out in town!

Good meal, at a reasonable price

Was stopping over Carlisle after a gig at the football club, wanted decent brekkie found Creme Cafe on trip Advisor. Friendly staff very clean. Great food, Full English from all local produce,not your usual chippy sausage would visit again 5*****

First visit today with my friend and it won't be the last. The staff were friendly, attentive and very efficient, eating in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. The food, well what can I say, having a tuna jacket potato was totally delish, the best "jacket tatty" in town. We will be back to try the rest of the lovely food on the menu, can't wait. So pleased we found this lovely gem of a café, thanks again.

Had another tasty lunch here with the hubster, food is homemade and delicious. I recommend the rice pudding. The 2 ladies are lovely and can't do enough for you. Keep up the good work Susan xx

We visit three times a week for our lunch.The meals are all homemade .Cakes and sweets are all homemade. The cheese cakes are absolutely delicious. So many l have tried .Now homemade icecream with many different flavours .Knickerbocker glories are also on the menu too.My husband had one and said how delicious it was .Great Cafe all round with such friendly staff.

Just popped in here for lunch with my husband, the food was amazing, everything homemade. I had the lentil soup and lemon pudding and custard and my husband had the lasagne and homemade rice pudding. Everything was piping hot and the lady who served us was very friendly. Definitely coming again when next in Carlisle.

We wanted a nice cafe to stop off at for a quick lunch and that's exactly what we found. I had a sandwich and hot chocolate which was lovely and my partner had soup and a sandwich which he also really enjoyed. Home made veg soup was great. Each was presented really nicely and the service we received was lovely, very frieny welcome (even though we rocked up just before closing which we appreciated would be annoying!) We will definitely return here as its much nicer than the chain led cafes in town.

Fmantastic home made food and cakes to die for excellent service .the place is so easy to find just across the road from carlisle market in market street and run by great people .

excellent food, very clean and wll decorated, pleasant service, well worth a visit, would definetly visit again,

Wonderful cooked full English breakfast they don't need to ask if everything is to your satisfaction the empty plates speak for themselves fits any budget

A great place to eat ,as such a friendly atmosphere. All food is homemade and delicious. My speciality is the Panini's and cheesecakes .My husband goes through the menu. A definite place for a great meal.

Lovely and tasty vegetarian food! The Maltesers cheesecake is heavenly and is unique in Carlisle!😍💕 Friendly staff!😊

A great place for meals , food is great and staff are fantastic and so welcoming.They do a great job and work hard too.Also have a smile ,which is so welcoming. In all we both love The Creme Cafe .

On visiting Carlisle for the first time I looked at Tripadviser for a cafe lunch and this one came out top. Expectations were high then.

found this little cafe whilst shopping in Carlisle with my wife & daughter ,very friendly staff with quick service. we all opted for the bacon ,cheese & cranberry sauce baguettes which were very filling & tasty,they do a lot of home made cooking & also takeaways and i would recommend anyone to give this place a try they would not be disappointed

Stopped here twice for coffee, excellent service, coffee is good too. Did not try any food, however menu looked good.

Called in today, had the breakfast which was amazing. Staff very friendly and quick service. Will be back soon to try the homemade cake, especially the lemon meringue pie.

Great food and great staff too .Like a laugh and made so welcome !

Visiting the area, came across this little cafe on TripAdvisor, lovely cuppa, and quick prompt friendly service

Rubbish scones but friendly service. great for old people!

Had jacket potato was lovely and very filling,staff were very welcoming and friendly.defo be a return for me.gud luck Susan and the gang in your new venture xx

I was looking for somewhere to have a lighter breakfast in Carlisle. Lots of places do breakfast, but it’s just not nice. Cheap ingredients, not hot, cheap nasty tea.

Arrived and took a seat straight away. Service was very quick and friendly. We ordered coffee and scones with cream which were of good quality. Will return.

Love it here amazing food especially the cakes, brilliant selection lovely friendly staff always a warm welcome. Never had bad service would 100% recommend 😀😀

Great food always as everything is homemade. Staff are very attentive and helpful .Very welcoming too .Afternoon teas are a great too .

Great little find when in Carlisle with the kids. Staff lovely with kids, lovely cuppa and faultless food. Can’t understand people using Costa etc when a lovely place like this exists!! Will be back!!

Lovely atmosphere with friendly staff. Excellent selection of homemade cakes to choose from. Well worth the visit while in Carlisle.

Beautiful gem of a cafe. Food was amazing

This cafe is without a doubt the best around 100% recommend a visit It deserved to be the best in Carlisle

Always friendly staff, amazing roast chicken dinner followed by homemade Bailey's cheesecake... fantastic!!! Definitely worth a visit.

What can I say?! Hazel certainly knows how to do an afternoon tea. For the, frankly, outrageous price of £10 per head you get a feast fit for a king! A delicious sandwich, served with ample filling and extremely fresh bread, then a gorgeous home made sausage roll with delicious sausage meat and very light and easy pastry. A cheese scone is one of the highlights of the savoury selection, wonderfully cheesy without being over powering! I didn't realise I liked cheese scones till I tried one of these. Now we're onto the fun stuff..the cakes! Again, all home made and all delicious. The Bailey's cheesecake pots are light and refreshing, the meringue...my word so tasty and the caramel shortcake is out of this world. Finally there is a cream scone which is one of the best I've ever tasted. I can't recommend this cafe enough!

Well how much praise can I give this little cafe - loads and loads. Myself and all my family, mam, dad, husband, daughters and now their husbands and soon our brand new little granddaughter have been regulars at this cafe for years. The food is delicious and freshly prepared with plenty of choice when we visit which is usually lunchtimes. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Last Saturday we had the superb Afternoon Tea, the only way you will find out how gorgeous it is, is to try it, sandwiches, sausage roll, cheese scone, scone jam and cream, caramel shortbread, Bailey's cheesecake and strawberry meringue plus tea or coffee - all for £10. We'll be back!

Brilliant cafe, lovely staff, great homemade food. Would highly recommend a visit. Lovely location , also sells homemade cake and scones to buy to take home .

Called in for breakfast and wasn't disappointed. Great food freshly cooked. Friendly staff and very helpful. Will definitely be back

Lovely food, just like home and great service. Smiley staff happy to serve you something that isn't at the menu.

We stopped in on Saturday morning and the cooked breakfast was excellent. Will return if in Carlisle again!

Came for my breakfast, service was brilliant very friendly staff, food was excellent and big portions and very well priced. I highly recommended to anyone to go. You won’t be disappointed 👍

This is a lovely family cafe tucked away at the back of some shopping malls and the market.

Everything was really fresh and tasty. Best scones! Very kind and friendly service. Owner was willing to change some of the items to accommodate our diet.

Great cozy family atmosphere, lovely fresh food and reasonably priced! The staff are super friendly. Would recommend

Stopped in Carlisle on the way home to Scotland. We had both missed breakfast so by 1pm we were in need of food. Found this lovely little traditional cafe. We were met by Hazel who made us feel instantly welcomed. Even though breakfast had finished at 11.30am Hazel said to leave it with her, full breakfast Sorted, Irene went for the healthy option of a baked potato OMG what a size and a little bit of everything on it. Hungry well worth a try.

We stopped past based on other TripAdvisor reviews & we were not disappointed. The handsome man had mince & mash, I enjoyed the quiche with salad. All cuisine appears to be made onsite - including desserts, which is often not the case. Lunch including coffees was £14 all up.

Amazing home cooked food, lovely staff. Always come here on match day!

Had lunch here a month ago. Great homemade grub! Breakfast SO good... quality ingredients. Friendly service.

A really sweet little local cafe, I had a slimming world friendly jacket potato with salad and coffee and my friend enjoyed a lovely slimming world friendly quiche! The cakes looked divine but we were being good!

Fabulous food especially the slimming friendly range 💖💖💖

We found this little treat of a cafe when walking from Bitts Park into town and so pleased with we stumbled across it. All the food is homemade and is so lovely and fresh and portion sizes are very good too. If you are in Carlisle I would definitely recommend you seek it out.

Friendly service, good food. Value for money. 💗💗

Lovely homemade meals and home baking, great portions, and really friendly staff. Well worth popping in.

Absolutely love the creme cafe lovely homemade food and very friendly staff x always get a nicefriendly chat with other customers. Nice relaxed atmosphere.definitely recommend 5* plus x

Lovely food great service staff always pleasant

Lovely home made food in relaxing surroundings. Jacket potatoes and salads are delicious and staff are very polite and efficient.

We have been here several times and every time the food is lovely the staff are very welcoming and we always enjoy our meal i would recomend to anyone, the prices are very reasonable too

It was great to find somewhere which offers a varied menu all at very reasonable prices along with very friendly staff! The "Full Breakfast", "Cheese Jacket Potato" and the "Raspberry and Cream Gateau" were really nice and definitely worth trying. Nothing was too much trouble and it would be somewhere I would definitely go back to. NB: It does not have a card machine so is CASH ONLY but there is a Cumberland Bank cash machine right around the corner if you need to get cash out. Give it a go!
