Price Range £1–10

Rendezvous Cockermouth is a friendly, unpretentious café located right on Main Street, serving as a convenient stop for locals and visitors alike looking for a relaxed spot to grab a coffee or a light meal. It has a welcoming vibe that feels genuine rather than staged—friendly staff offer warm greetings, making it easy to settle in whether you're popping in for breakfast, a quick hot chocolate, or something more substantial.

The café is especially well suited for those mornings when you want something comforting and quick, like their scramble eggs on toast or a classic poached eggs on granary toast, often paired with a smooth Americano or a creamy cappuccino to go. The menu leans toward simple, wholesome options with enough variety to include vegan choices and homemade cakes, making it accommodating for different tastes and dietary needs.

The atmosphere is relaxed and bright, a nice little urban retreat if you want to take a moment out before continuing about your day. It’s also dog-friendly, which adds to its neighborhood appeal for pet owners. Street parking is available nearby, but visitors should keep an eye on disc display requirements, something locals are used to navigating.

Rendezvous attracts a mix of early risers stopping in for breakfast, bus waiters looking for a warm drink, and those catching up over lunch with comforting paninis or jacket potatoes. It feels like a casual everyday place rather than a special occasion spot, making it ideal if you want to blend in and enjoy a good-quality coffee, reliable service, and a mellow atmosphere without fuss.

Called here Weds morning after reading their Google reviews. Free street parking to the front but ensure that you display your disc. We received a warm welcome in this clean and tidy dog friendly establishment. Poached eggs on granary toast with added beans and bacon, and an order of white toast, butter and marmalade. Along with Americano and also I got a cappuccino to take away afterwards. Everything was quality, cooked to perfection and really tasty, coffee amazing also and all value for money. The impeccable service completed a perfect experience.

Cute little cafe. I was waiting for my bus and this cafe was just across the street. When I tell you very few people make good hot chocolate I MEAN IT. This is another great find for a good hot chocolate. I just got a toast. Did not have time to try their other menu options. Atmosphere was really nice. The staff is very nice. Beautiful smiles. Thank you cafe Rendezvous.

What a lovely little Cafe, friendly staff, tasty food, the best hot chocolate I've had in a long time. Ordered Tuna, Cheese and spring onion jacket potato with salad & Bacon & Brie panini with salad. Both were delicious. This was recommended by a friend and I'll recommended to others.

Been several times now since being recommended by a friend. Very good coffee & food at decent prices, meal deal offered in the morning which is great as well as a coffee loyalty card. Lovely staff who make you feel welcome, what more could you want?
