Only The Best

The Buttered Cat is a small independent coffee shop in the historic Kinmont Arcade, Carlisle. Excellent speciality coffee, fresh local food, and a warm welcome — open seven days a week.

We choose every supplier deliberately — the best we can find, sourced locally first. From speciality coffee to Cumbrian dairy, quality comes first.

Our Suppliers

Bruce & Luke's Coffee

Speciality Coffee

We chose Bruce & Luke's because they care as much about the cup as we do. Their beans make a flat white worth travelling for.

Lovingly Artisan

Artisan Bakery

Their pastries sell out fast for a reason. We bake them fresh in the cafe each morning so you get them at their best.

Cumbrian Producers

Local Dairy & Produce

Carlisle is surrounded by brilliant farms. It makes no sense to go further afield when the best is on our doorstep.

Matcha

Matcha & Green Tea

Matcha done badly tastes bitter and flat. Done well, it's one of the best things on the menu. We only use the grade that does it justice.
