Great cafe, lovely people and fab food. Whilst the name suggests it’s well cake and ale, it have a really nice menu for breakfast and lunch. We had lunch here. It’s both gluten free and dog friendly which is a plus. Really nice atmosphere and décor, down a little alley (Long Lane) and connected to a bookshop!! What more could you want on a damp afternoon in Carlisle?

My god! This place is amazing! Its a very lovely hidden gem of carlisle. The inside of the tea house is beautiful and welcoming. The staff are friendly and there are books everywhere! The menu is quite small, however they cater to vegans and people who are gluten free, and the prices of the food are excellent! For the quality and taste of the food, they charge a very affordable price. All of the books in the tea house are for sale and some of them are very old books ageing over 100 years. The first floor above the tea house is also a book store. Long story short, go here. Its beautiful and i couldnt recommend this place any more!
