The Arches Coffee House

Came here for breakfast on a Saturday morning, service was good. Food was alright, nothing spectacular, which was expected for the price. Would probably return.

Visited with a friend, felt very safe as not too busy and we had plenty of space. We both had cream scones, I had a pot of tea, my companion had a hot chocolate, which looked delicious. The scones were tasty and fresh.

I and my sisters have ordered toasties and chips. the eating itself was in order, standard, no frills really. £1.90 for a dosis pop is a little extreme the whole place felt just a bit dubbby as if it was a really good deep clean. the cute was dirty so I ended with my fingering, I wouldn't hit back

we went there for teacakes a coffee and a hot chocolate. the service wad was friendly, efficient and slow fast. the teacskes were delicious, my man loved his coffee and my hot chocolate was from this world. the price was also appropriate. I'll bring my friend to lunch next week when she comes to visit.

We visited on Saturday after reading earlier reviews. Enjoyed soup and sandwich -both excellent choices. I noted some criticisms of the toilets and sticky tables. These were unfair as while the tables are sticky it shows the cleaning that is undertaken. Similarly I was confident about utilising the toilet even if I had to give way to someone exiting because of the narrow entrance. It is better to be sure of the hygiene of facilities these days. Very friendly and efficient service and we were greeted by one of the staff later in the afternoon as we continued our visit to Carlisle. The cakes are worth it as well

We popped in for a late lunch after mooching around Carlisle. A lovely, clean and friendly little place. I had the soup and toastie deal and my partner had the steak pie. Both homemade and full of flavour. The perfect pick me up and winter...warmer after a windy day out. The soup was vegetable and lentil ham hock, which I’ve never had before and can’t wait to try some more. My partner has a large appetite and to the teams surprise ordered a second bowl of chips (after chips came with his meal anyway) and we shared a laugh that he wasn’t allowed to leave if he didn’t finish, much to the shock of the team here…it was in fact finished and he even wanted more! A lovely visit, and would definitel...

we stayed on the way back from Scotland to shropshire to carlisle and looked for a place to lunch. the arches is very close to the cathedrale and looked clean and cheap. the tables were well spaced and friendly. we have the choice where we should sit, and the waitress was very friendly and attentive, not hurrying, but there when we needed them. So eat it. the menu has a selection of sandwiches, jacket kartoffels, cakes etc. as well as complete meal times and specialties on board. I had steakcake, packed with meat, very delicate and tasty. my wife had the plower who was massive and had everything on it, bee, sink, bee hearty, pickel, whirl, broth, all delicious. Together with two drinks it ca...

would absolutely not recommend eating here. I have eaten here twice and every experience was bad my recent experience, I came in and sat down when it wasn't busy at all. a few came a few minutes after me and was immediately served as I wait. the waitress (an older lady) went and the couple tried to get their attention at least 3 different paintings to me, but they were ignored after almost 10 minutes a younger girl came to serve me. I asked her about a table size of conductive water together with my order and she brought me a cup of water with small black foreign bodies into it. I had most of them drunk before I realized and she came back to replace it was not delicious, I ordered an salat a...

A superb little coffee shop hidden down the pleasant back-streets of central Carlisle Fortunately we visited the place mid-morning with the shop half-full of customers. There's around 12 tables, roughly 5 at ground level and the remainder up four steps which may prove a little awkward for people who are unsteady on their feet and have to rely on sticks or crutches etc That said, the shop feels very cosy, fresh and clean. The tables were always cleared of old food, cups and plates within a couple of minutes of customers leaving; and the plastic table clothes were always wiped down properly, with no obvious mess on chairs or surrounding floor The menus are quite typical for a coffee shop scone...
