The Old Bell Coffee House
The cup
A family-run coffee house tucked into Bashful Alley, a hidden pedestrian passage near Lancaster Castle. Pours Farrer's coffee from the Kendal roastery that has been supplying the region since 1819, alongside homemade cakes made fresh each morning. A place that rewards local knowledge.
