Casbah Coffee - Eden

This little van is a welcome sight on a chilly day in Cumbria whilst waiting on penrith station provides a hot brew cheerful music and friendly banter

This a coffee, small snacks and newspapers service is fairly new at Penrith train station and very welcome. Cheerful vendor, much better coffee than either the establishment next along the street or the buffet car on the train.

This was a very pleasant surprise; to find a real quality coffee with excellent service and a distinctive ambience by the entrance to Penrith station. We sat at one of the pretty tables in the sunshine, and enjoyed glancing at “The Life of Johnny Cash”, one of the books and magazines provided for customers. Open every weekday until 1.00 pm; we loved it and will be back for more.

Starbucks was excellent, not a place I usually frequent for coffee, but the service, coffee and staff were excellent

I had some troubles paying with Apple Pay, but the barista was incredibly friendly, happy, and outgoing! Once everything was sorted out it was easy to have a chat and walk away feeling like there are nice people everywhere. Would absolutely come back, and recommend for their excellent coffee for a long train journey:
