The Harbour Master Coffee House and Bar in Copeland

Great to be able to take our dog inside after a long walk, can't comment on the food, we only had a couple of pints but it was relaxing to sit in view of the harbour. They even had a doggy menu, we got a venison chew stick which kept our staffy busy for ten minutes or so

Best crab sandwich, nice beer served by very friendly staff.

Nice cafe and good outdoor seating. I visited whilst on a bike trip.

Always a nice place for a pint in Whitehaven. Friendly staff, good location, varied selection on tap.

Freindly staff and decent prices...

It's a lovely place for all ages to chill and have a pint or to have a cuppa and some toast.....Just excellent! ☺️

Cracking pint if craft ipa. Great location on the Harbour. Quirky themed maritime decor. Great service.

Such a great place! Friendly welcome, superb service, excellent range of beers... Not to mention the location! Simply wonderful!

Cracking pint. Cracking service. Cracking location.

Superb location and great service! Wonderful!!

Came across this caf/bar on Whitehaven harbour front. The wonderful owners couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. I’m coeliac but felt incredibly cared for! Also excellent atmosphere, music, dog friendly, etc etc.

Always enjoy a pint or two in here.

Very nice atmosphere,very accommodating

Went in for lunch, food quality is poor and someone had a dog sitting ON the table! Questionable hygiene standards too.

Edit: Thursday 9th November 2023: Still excellent. AND their toilet paper is QUALITY! Edit: Tuesday 8pm (20:00) Guinness and bacon butty, ideal. Lovely staff and great service, level access and outdoor seating may well suit wheelchair users. Dog friendly, and with fitting and interesting decor (pointing towards some of the history of Whitehaven / it's harbour with it's links to Ireland), Excellent views across the harbour, level access, nice food, selection of beers (Guinness, Stella, others), better hot chocolate than Greggs or McDonalds, also their lemonade on tap and cordial are both ok for those like me who cannot stand the taste of Aspartame, a snacks menu for people and a snacks menu for dogs (waterbowl for dogs outside near the entrance). Has tables and seating inside and out front on the harbour most of the day / early evening. A lovely place to watch the sunset. And they have a pub quiz 3rd Wednesday of the month. And they sell bacon butties. And their own-branded Spirit (available in bottles) is quite a tasty warmer-upper... And they stock XL Cheese crisps, locally very popular and with good reason. Photos are from five different visits.

Great selection of coffee and rum all kinds of milk too. Cheery helpful service. Good atmosphere too.

Friendly cafe, the lemon cake was very nice.

Always nice coffee and staff are friendly

Great coffee what more could you ask for

A quaint and chic cafe/pub with awesome decor and a nice atmosphere. I only stopped for a coffee, but I could have sat here for hours and watched the boats in the harbour and the world go by. You can sit inside or outside with plenty of tables and chairs. The coffee was also very nice.

Good coffee, friendly staff. Dog friendly place, that comes with its smells. Crispy bacon sandwich, is not crispy at all.

Lovely little cafe with an awesome menu at really good prices! Love the normal take on toasties and sandwiches, even offering crisp butties! Prices were amazingly cheap for food. Service was great, the servers were lovely and attentive. Nice little dog menu too. Could do with a bit more space to maneuver a pushchair around, and the lighting was just a bit too dim on a dull day, but other than that it was lovely.

Loved every bit of this coffee/snack/bar! Owners incredibly friendly and can’t do enough. Whatever time it was we felt so looked after and often went morning for lattes and toasties then in the afternoon for beers and nachos. The food is so great. Lots of tasty toasties with the best filling. Ours was the cheese and homemade salsa and the honey and cheese! Views are incredible and I can’t wait to go back. Thank you!

Great friendly atmosphere good service dog friendly drink and eat inside or out would highly recommend great coffee as well as alcoholic drinks good host very welcoming

No food just a passing pint as part of a group of 9

Great find in whitehaven and dog friendly as well 👍

Lovely friendly atmosphere, nic

Ok for a morning coffee and cake. Good food and friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend

Had a couple of pints of coke and sat on a sofa watching the sun go down. It was great.

Wanted my usual but it was closed. Found harbour master and i think I'll be coming here more often, the staff are fantastic fantastic views of the harbour and the food is just wonderful Most definitely a 5 out 5 stars

Popped in for a couple of drinks. Great table service. Polite friendly staff nice atmosphere

A great little atmospheric coffee bar / bar with friendly and attentive staff . Extremely dog friendly so if you are not fond of dogs try somewhere else . We take our boxer Roxy here and she get a good welcome. Good coffee and a good selection of beers .

Really relaxing atmosphere, good coffee and a great view out of the window onto the harbour.

Would have got a 5 but the menu was restricted. My family wanted a pie or sausage roll but savoury selection was limited.

Love this place so friendly. Best lattes in Whitehaven

Only popped in for a coffee, but loved the atmosphere. Great spot to people watch and look out at the harbour. Added bonus that it's dog friendly 👍 coffee was great - hot instead of warm, which was a nice surprise. Staff friendly.

Only had a cup of tea and a chocolate/ toffee shortbread which was the best I've had! Great cosy atmosphere with very friendly staff and dog friendly too, will definitely be going back!

Nice friendly pup ,and nice food .best of all dog friendly well recommend

Absolutely can't wait to visit again

Super friendly staff and extremely dog friendly! If you want to have a drink with your dog, this is the place to go! And you can treat your pooch to a dog ice cream!!

Very good on a cold winters night

Cosy and unique interior that completely matches the area where it is located. Friendly and efficient service. We would definitely visit there again. My only niggle is that there were wet/muddy dogs allowed on the sofas and seating... Dogs paws should stay on the floor!

Doggie licious, great staff, great vibes , Chilled space for snacks Coffee and. Beer, ......clean toilets 🚻

Love this place, It is so welcoming and very very dog friendly 6* if I could 😍🫶😍

Great service and pleasant staff.

Only one real ale pump but very well kept sandwiches good. Apparently the coffee was good too! View over the harbour. A few in on Saturday lunchtime so pleasant but probably livelier in the evening.

Lovely little dog friendly café. Great food but unfortunately don't cater for allergies/intolerances.

Beer was good food was brilliant hoola hoop nachos are definitely worth a try

Found The Harbourmaster really by chance...Enjoyed a lovely pint there today and a decent lemonade. Ordered a bacon sandwich for myself and a ham and cheese toastie for my wife...Both were excellent with the most delicious bread! The bacon was crispy and delicious...And...the batroom was spotless! Nice attentive staff...Can't fault!

Great friendly bar with good service; make sure your order is understood; a few too many dogs to my liking.

Great coffee, beer and Rum.....staff are super friendly and efficient

Good selection of bar food , serves a good selection of coffees and local beers . Cosy seating , friendly staff also it is dog friendly and the dog get a treat

Amazing place. An super dog friendly

Comfy bar on a lovely harbour, perfect for sitting outside in the summer months watching the world go by. Comfy sofas inside for winter months. Dog friendly. Table service and settle at the bar on leaving. Friendly laid back place popular with locals, tourists, and walkers and cyclists starting or ending the C2C.

Good food, friendly and helpful staff.

Visited at lunch time. Very poor service, 40 min wait min for food when half empty. Waited 15 mins for drinks to come only to be told they had no clean glasses, after being told twice they were on there way. Had a full refund, won't be back.... no

Staff are great and the establishment is dog friendly

Very dog friendly, lovely comfy chairs inside, beautiful views of the harbour, well worth stopping by.

Bar service generally OK but one waitress completely ignored my requests twice. The first time she delivered my order without communication. I called as shepassedagainbut she ignored me. Won't return.

Very welcoming and only dropped in for a quick drink, started a while. We were made very welcome. Dawn the lovely girl who served us was smashing, she made a big fuss of our dog Flora and was very informative on the pubs at St Bees where we were heading. Definately worth making a trip into Worthington to go there, outside seating in the harbour front.

Great Coffee house. Milk Alternatives available too which was lovely.

Great find and when it had dog friendly I didn't expect to see so many. Brilliant atmosphere and very friendly.

Great staff, good atmosphere and nice pint. Very dog friendly.

We liked this small cafe overlooking Whitehaven harbour, decked out with sailing items. Service was good and friendly. Only had coffees which were fine. Seems popular with locals.

Great quirky place on the harbour, had a lovely walk with the dogs then finished off in here for a coffee and the dogs and I loved it, should be more places like this, dog treats water for them, sit in the window looking at the boats watching the world go by.

Very nice coffee and toasties. Friendly staff. Comfortable place to people and doggie watch at the harbour side.

So nice and friendly my dog loves a pint there

Being from the south we didn’t know how it worked but a friendly gentleman greeted us straight away and showed us to a table and took a drinks order. Sandwiches didn’t take long to come over. Dog friendly, our Sprocker loved it! Oh, and what a beautiful view of the harbour. Thank you!

Great service, lovely coffee and welcoming staff. Love it.

First visit here, drawn to it as doggie friendly and I had 30 min to wait before train home. Did not eat on this occasion but had an excellent pint of Blonde ale. Great atmosphere and very friendly barman/manager. Will definitely return!

Our favourite place to go in town

Very nice atmosphere helped by the charming and very friendly staff. Cool punters, chilled music and some nice dogs!

Nice bar and coffee shop. Buzzy and busy but welcoming. Good sandwiches and excellent cakes in a lovely spot.

Just love this place ,very relaxed atmosphere n lovely staff.

Friendly, welcoming, characterful, reasonably-priced, dog friendly, with decent beer. Just what Whitehaven needs, and worth a visit. Views over the marina are beautiful and inside seating is comfortable.

Coffee is the best in whitehaven, staff very friendly also a very big bonus is it is table service, and dogs are welcome inside. ( They even get a treat)

Had a lovely latte and it felt very cosy staff friendly

great service and great atmosphere.

1st visit to THM café. Wanted to sit outside to enjoy the view and the sun but, was immediately impressed with the soft comfy sofa, along with the calm, peaceful yet friendly atmosphere, inside. Sean fits the bill as The Harbour Master... inviting and both interesting & interested. Easy to order, & much enjoyed, toasty n' pint. Just the job... Top of the list to re-visit. Thank-you. Richard Field P.S. Look forward to hearing the piano!

Very dog friendly happily come back

Lovely staff and the harbour master IPA is very tasty.

Been here a few times now for a coffee and sandwich. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is great. You can take your time enjoying the wonderful view of the harbour. A very dog friendly bar/cafe. Will definitely try an evening here soon

Love it. Very convenient for the town. Has a lovely view of the harbour. Outside seating available and dogs are very welcome. Serves light refreshments and a range of alcoholic beverage. Value for money. Inside has themed nautical decoration complementing/showing the history of our town.

Had the nicest mocha ever. Very friendly

Disappointed that we had to wait a full hour for three toasties at about 1:30pm, when there were only 4 other tables present and we counted 4 front of house staff. Coffee was long cold by the time they arrived and we received no apology for the wait from staff. Loved the decor and view outside, but you might hesitate to order there if you're very hungry!

My favourite place around the harbour.

Amazing white hot chocolate and lovely comfy sofas!

A great place to watch the sun set 😁. A warm welcome with great service, but could do with a new sofa 😁🤣👏👏👏

Nice little Seafront cafe friendly staff and dog friendly

Lovely,friendly great views super staff

Always a great atmosphere and welcome from Sean and staff. Great drinks. Great sunny position.

This place has always given good service and that trend has continued post COVID. Compared to its neighbour this place is a cut above in terms of service.

It has a very nice view and place, but the coffee cup I received was very dirty, there was a lipstick mark from the previous customer coffee was like dishwater

Nice chilled venue, lovely staff.

A great place to pop in for a sandwich and a drink, sit indoors or outdoors and have your canine pal with you, who will probably get a treat too! The views over the marina really capture the essence of Whitehaven.

Beautiful coffee and brilliant staff as always

Thought the staff were great and very friendly. Would recommend a pint or two. Will be back soon.

Great selection of food and drinks and very friendly staff, dog friendly too so there's loads of dogs say to hello 🐶🐾

Not covid compliant, people walked in orderd drinks without signing in or using the app. Very worrying when we heard one customer saying his team mates had covid. He was one who didn't check in. We left ASAP after hearing this.

Superb coffee stop with delicious coffee. Spot on.
