The Lanes Cafe & Licensed Bar

Found this place by sheer dumb luck and what a surprise it was. From the moment you enter the staff are friendly and welcoming. The place was spotless and homely. I ordered the mega breakfast, chips and black coffee. The food was cooked to perfection and of a really good quality. The portions were way bigger than I imagined ( see photo ) cannot fault any part of the dining experience. Found by accident but will be visiting regularly from now on. Highly recommend a visit or 3

The best place for a meal in Cockermouth. Quality, tasty, fresh, homemade, good selection, and such good value. The milkshakes are delicious. The coffee and hot chocolate could be better. The staff are polite and attentive and the cook is skilled and efficient. My dog is allowed inside. Love Lanes café.

Only had coffee and cake which was lovely,staff very pleasant and kids enjoyed the toy kitchen.will definitely go again

Amazing food, brilliant atmosphere and an all round lovely experience. We felt very welcome, comfortable and the food was beautiful 🤤

We absolutely loved this place, we wanted poached eggs but came too late, only wanted a light snack as going out for an evening meal, how lovely to share a brie and cranberry sandwich with crisps and salad, soooo tasty. Had a black coffee and mam had tea for one so lovely, helpful staff, very accommodating and the toilet was a disabled one so my 91 year old mam was over the moon! Weve been before but we will definitely be returning, it had alot to choose from and nice prices ! Dog friendly too

Popped in for dome lunch, staff were very friendly, welcoming and accommodating to us and our new born. Highly recommended and will definitely use again. Thanks

Great wee find. Had breakfast & we all (4) had different things & really enjoyed. Staff are lovely. I'd recommend this place.

Service, food and atmosphere were bang on. They also have a 'pay it forward' option, which is a great feature

What a lovely find! Couldn't believe the size of the cream tea. We had to take some away with us. Food was excellent 😁

Delicious poached eggs on toast, as ever. I got a few takeaway cakes as well.
Lovely, attentive staff. It's in a nice setting - away from the busy streets! I'm a regular, but I strongly recommended a visit to anyone. 😊

Wonderful place with brilliant service and amazing food! Booked in advance to have an afternoon tea and it was just amazing. Great balance of sweet and savoury which is hard to come by. Go and visit!

Lovely place, hidden gem but worth the hunt. Coffees very spot on and cakes were delicious. Parking on main road so no problem there. Plenty of seating and nice warm atmosphere. Would go again. Offer gluten free and similar.

Lovely cafe, breakfast was delicious.
Loved the quiz cards too 😁

Excellent full English and cup of tea dog friendly and nice staff. Clean toilets.

Lovely food and friendly staff, had jacket potato with savoury tuna and a latte. Would recommend

This was such a hidden gem. Tucked away down the Kings lane, once devastatingly flooded as shown on the lane wall. I only spotted it because of the bright open sign. Very welcoming staff, they were lovely to my dog. Recommended items and the food was so brilliant, it's not what you expect from a little cafe, it's above and beyond anything I've ever had in the Lake District. If you've never been to Cockermouth, it's a lovely little town, but 100% worth to go solely for this cafe. Prices are also brilliant, they could charge double for their food and I'd still recommend it

It is with a heavy heart that I am leaving the Lanes a 5* review, as the more we all rave about this fantastic little cafe, the less chance we have of getting a table!

We are not what you could call regulars, but if we are ever having breakfast out in town, this is where we go!

The food is freshly cooked, excellent quality and plentiful, nowhere in Cumbria does a better full English!

The team working here are amazing too, friendly, happy and a pleasure to be served by.

The cakes at the till when you are paying are like an evil temptress luring you in, even though we always have full bellies, just a little something to have with a cuppa in the afternoon is purchased!

The cakes by the way are superb!

Keep up the good work

Lovely friendly staff and the most gorgeous chocolate cake. Melt in the mouth sponge and "death by chocolate" sugary icing. Everyone of their cakes look like heaven on a plate. Think I was in a food coma after gulping down the hot chocolate with cream, marshmallows and Maltesers straight after. Still covid safe, hand Sanitiser at the door and the ladies clean down each table after every customer.

Lovely little cafe, dog friendly and staff are great.

Beautiful breakfast fresh ingredients & great service
