I can’t stop thinking about the Snowball cookies. Can’t believe I left without getting a dozen more for the road. Please, please, what kind of butter do you use? Is it Pulgra? How are they so decadent? Do you ship?

Great place to stop as we trekked north up the coast on CA 1. The weather was perfect for a late afternoon cupcake at the outdoor seating area and two chocolate chip/walnut cookies for the road. The service was top notch.

We went to the buttery to get a carrot cake for a birthday. We saw that they had carrot cake cupcakes too. We asked if they were the same as the full-size carrot cake, and they said “yes.” We pointed out that the icing looked different from the cream cheese icing on the full-size carrot cake, but we were told it was the same icing. I asked if it was the same cream cheese frosting but whipped; they said, “yes.” We bought the cupcakes, but unfortunately the icing was Not the traditional carrot cake icing. Also, the cake itself was not the traditional dense, moist carrot cake, but was fluffy, like a spice cake, but with a little bit of carrot mixed in. The service was friendly.

I’m a tough cookie when it comes to baked goods. I’m called Dessert Diva for a reason, baking my own desserts often. Someone brought peanut butter cookies from here to a party I attended. I HAD to know where they got them! The BEST peanut butter cookies EVER!

They have the best rugelach! Been going her for 30+ yrs and I still love it. They put real chocolate panache in the mocha. Delicious.

I was introduced to this place by my former manager. Whenever I'm in the area I have to make a pit stop here.
Service is quick, there are multiple cashiers. The place can get pretty packed. There is a decent sized dine in area. Don't expect nice decore or instagram-able ambiance, you're there for the food and that's all that matters.
If you want to make sure all the flavors are available, I'd suggest going earlier if it's a weekend. The price is average and reasonable.
One of THE BEST carrot cake cupcakes! And I honestly could not care less about carrot cake flavor, but this one blew my mind. Oh my gosh my mouth is watering just thinking about it lol. My husband and I tried their tiramisu and some other cupcake options and all are literally SO good. The dangerous part is they're not too sweet (best Asian dessert compliment btw lol). Just the right amount of creaminess, and the flavors are spot on. They're consistent with the quality of their products.
I haven't tried their savory foods so I don't have any pointers on that.
Just wow! The staff is so helpful, friendly and welcoming. The selection of pies and pastries is endless. The apple pie I bought for my son for his birthday is almost too beautiful to eat! They have some nice seating inside and a great patio for outside seating. It looks like dogs are welcome on the patio. Definitely a place to try if you haven’t yet.
The croissant should be called crescent-shaped soft bun. Ham tasted metallic and clumpy.
They ran out of iced coffee by mid morning. Offered iced Americano but charged the higher espresso price. Then made the order wrong, hot not iced. Just get hot coffee. Mocha is too sweet.

Stay away from their pancakes. They are tasteless and dry. Very disappointing. In addition they use corn syrup whereas they used to use real Maple syrup.

I highly recommend the Buttery for wedding cakes and sheet cakes! For a very fair and reasonable price, we got 4 quarter sheet cakes in tiramisu, lemon poppyseed, carrot, and raspberry shortcake! Everyone found a favorite! I wasn’t able to eat much that night so I’ll have to come back to try all these flavors as cupcakes!
A cafe without wifi seems so outdated. Just, why?
