About the Café

As well as being a centre for the contemporary arts, the Bluecoat is the perfect location for fresh, local food and drink, in the heart of the city.

Stop by for breakfast or enjoy a hearty lunch made with locally sourced ingredients and prepared by our in-house chef, or treat yourself to a slice of cake and barista coffee.

If you're out with the family, pick up one of our children's lunch boxes, ideal to enjoy in our cafe, garden or to take away. High chairs are available and our staff are ready to help with any requests that make your visit easier.
