Who are Butterwick Bakery?

Our Story

Butterwick Bakery began with a simple idea: to bring joy through handcrafted treats made with love, flair, and quality ingredients. From our very first store, we’ve committed to doing things differently — combining bold, indulgent flavours with a boutique café experience that keeps customers coming back. Every bake is handcrafted, every coffee is brewed with care, and every shop reflects the high standards we set for ourselves. Whether it’s the precision of our baking, the warmth of our service, or the vibrancy of our store designs, we aim to exceed expectations. Customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do — and it’s why our guests become fans, and our fans become family.

From Humble Beginnings to a Growing Brand

Butterwick Bakery was founded in 2017 by a family with a passion for handcrafted baking and bold, creative flavours. What started as a small kitchen experiment in rural Northamptonshire quickly turned into something bigger — driven by a belief that sweet treats should be fresh, exciting, and anything but ordinary. Inspired by American-style indulgence and British café culture, Butterwick’s founders began perfecting recipes late into the night, often selling out within hours of opening pop-up stalls at local events.

Encouraged by growing demand and enthusiastic customer feedback, the first Butterwick store opened in Corby, bringing a colourful, high-energy bakery concept to the high street. From there, the brand grew rapidly through word of mouth, social media buzz, and a reputation for quality that customers could taste. Each new store was designed to be more than just a place to buy treats — it was a welcoming, local hub where people could connect over coffee, celebrate life’s little wins, and treat themselves to something special.

Today, Butterwick operates 13 successful locations across the Midlands and beyond, with more on the way. While our business has grown, our core values remain unchanged: we never compromise on quality, creativity, or customer care. Every store reflects our commitment to excellence, from the handmade bakes to the smiling faces behind the counter. As we invite new franchise partners to join the Butterwick family, we’re excited to expand our community while continuing to deliver unforgettable experiences — one doughnut at a time.

Butterwick Bakery are now expanding and we have a variety of new franchise opportunities right now in several locations. If you want to join with us as we continue our expansion we would like to hear from you.
