Caffeine Rush

Probably the best COSTA in the country. They KNOW how to make a latte/flat white (extraction in cup first, finely - no big bubbles - textured milk artfully on top - take note York Station) and such kind friendly people! Bacon roll very nice too :) P.S. Staff in all COSTAs seem lovely, just the coffee quality so variable I gave up after trying in London, Liverpool, Manchester, Bradford,Leeds, Brum & York. Carlisle redeemed faith ;)

Conveniently situated by Carlisle Railway Station, so ideally placed if travelling. Limited parking outside for either 20 minutes or 1 hour using your Cumbria parking disc. This branch has plenty of seating inside, which is very deceiving when looking as its frontage, there's also limited seating available outside. Most of the indoor seating is accessible, as a small section has a step up. The facilities are multi-use, clean, and accessible. This branch is usually kept very clean by the helpful and friendly staff. As with most other Costa branches, it offers a wide range of hot and cold beverages, light bites, snacks, and sweet treats. Don't forget your loyalty card or app.

Best latte I've ever had, and lattes take up a lot of my funds. Lady with the blue hair, didn't catch her name as I'm blind as bat, super helpful and understanding. I emphasized to her to make sure it's oat milk as a drop of regular milk leaves me in agony for days, and my local Costa up north multiple times served me regular milk even though I clearly specified oat. I am ASD diagnosed so when I express my anxieties, people take it as assumed incomptence, insult, rudeness etc. She just took me at face value and let me watch her pour the oat milk which was reassuring to me The general atmosphere is calm and quiet, dim lighting spacious with plenty of seating with charging sockets. not overstimulating whatsoever. Super autism friendly!
