About The Buttered Cat
The Buttered Cat is a cafe in Carlisle at 4 Kinmont Arcade that welcomes dogs, with a doggie breakfast on offer for four-legged visitors. The food side of the menu includes a chicken & mozzarella panini and soup, and cake is available for a sweet option. Coffee is served alongside the food, so the cafe suits a stop with a dog as much as a sit-down meal for people. The soup also appears on the online menu, so you can check it before you go.

Customer Review Summary
Coffee is what reviewers praise most, called great and sensational, with the chicken and mozzarella panini and a doggie breakfast for visiting dogs close behind. Several describe friendly, quick service from the staff. The main complaint is cost: one reviewer felt a coffee and cake had become expensive and objected to the tip request on the card machine for takeout, while another found soup and other online menu items unavailable.

“Rhubarb and Custard enjoyed their doggie breakfast, as did their human slaves. Service was great and the girls who worked there are really nice people.”

“Beautiful. Food was purrrfect, atmosphere was lovely and service just fluffy enough. Very well done girls, enjoyed the food and visit.”

“Edit: hmm slipping a bit, over £4 for a coffee now... Sign of the times I guess. Rent in the town centre must be high so I sympathise with independent businesses, but at least cancel the tip request on the card machine for a takeout order when I've already spent almost a tenner on one coffee and a piece of cake... -- What's not to love? Worth the walk from the train station.”
- Shaun Gamble
“Sensational coffee with sensational service.”
- Peter Stoner
“Several items on the on line menu, including soup, were not available and the prices have gone up.”
