The baguettes are extremely good value, with generous fillings at a good price. They also sell salad boxes too, great for that lunch on the go. The staff are okay on the whole, but some aren't the most friendly, especially when it's busy. Service can sometimes be a bit slow also, with it taking a good 3-5 minutes on occassions to make a baguette! Overall there is a great choice available to customers, which sometimes makes it difficult making a decision over what to have. Whatever you choose though, they are all very tasty.

Also, being a bakers, you can get the usual bread and cakes, again at reasonable prices.

The staff are always pleasant and very chatty, making this quaint little shop even more welcoming.

I spotted this Costa Coffee across the street while speaking with the staff at the train station and decided to stop by for some coffee and a bite to eat. They had coffee, pastries, and a handful of grab and go items of sandwiches, drinks and more. I got a hot white mocha and we also got two toasties. My mocha was just ok and did leave something to be desired. The toasties however were spectacular! Toasties are buttered on the outside, so it develops a crisp, golden exterior and pressed together so that bread and filling are perfectly married. I don't know if it was the warm, gooey cheese, the perfectly toasted bread or what, but yuuumm! This started a string of Costa visits throughout the rest of our stay in the UK. This location by far had the best toasties though :) Great spot to kill some time in between trains! Lots of nice, comfy seats available inside. You can also sit by the windows and take in the view of the Carlisle Citadel across the street while enjoying your cup of joe.

As Coffee and Tea go John Watt & Son is the roast!…read more From childhood I thought the smell of roasting coffee being pumped into the street was a sign that coffee was not to be messed with. Since I have become a trifle addicted to a good blend my attitude has changed dramatically. I now know the plumes of rich roast that fragrance the streets of Carlisle are a smoke signal to coffee lovers. The service weather 9 o'clock in the morning, or 20 minutes before your train leaves is to be challenged by none. I have been several times since the start of the year and every time I've been seated and served a cafetiere, mains and starters with no fuss. The shop is steeped in local history about Carrs and the tins that were produced and uses this to create a very traditional environment with a twist. It seems without trying they have created a very cosmopolitan and trendy feel to good coffee. Not to be compared to any chains Watts' is a tradition that has weathered and will not be going anywhere near instant mass produced shops. The coffee is well treated and doesn't carry any of the flavours of the day befores grind.
