Arches Coffee House

Love this coffee shop. staff are very friendly and food is very good quality - a regular visitor here

We stopped off at carlisle on our way back from scotland to shropshire and were looking for a place for lunch.the arches is very close to the cathedral and looked clean and reasonably priced .tables were well spaced and covid friendly.we were given the choice of where to sit and the waitress was very friendly and attentive,not rushing us but there when we needed her. so,the food....the menu has a selection of sandwiches,jacket potatoes,cakes etc as well as full meals and specials on the board.i had steak pie,packed with meat ,very tender and tasty.my wife had the ploughman's which was massive and had everything on it,cheese,ham,cheese savoury,pickle,salad, onions, bread,all delicious.together with two drinks it came to £18 so i'm not sure why a couple of people have criticised the price? absolute bargain and filled us up all the way back to shropshire.when we return to carlisle,it will be our first stop! thanks again

Visited twice 2 initially pop in and c katie 😊 but had snack and breakfast over the 2days was lovely we where made very welcome great service and very friendly staff 💖💖

A gem of a small cafe in the centre of the city! no wonder it's so busy. lots of choice on the menu, good-size portions, food cooked to order and well done. coffee good quality (lavazza). ask for milky coffee if you normally have a latte. good choice of delicious desserts. great value and friendly, efficient service. highly recommend.
