They provided our wedding cake and desserts and were so easy to work with and professional. Everything was delicious and guests loved the cake and key lime pies. Thanks to Keavy and the entire team!

They serve blue marble ice cream & boozy shakes. You must try their Jell-O shots!

I have been here twice during the pandemic now; they have very clear order ahead instructions which I appreciate and a great window to walk up to and get your order when ready. The first time I came I didn't realize it's best to order ahead but lucky for me they had brownies available which, while not what I came for, were such a blessing in disguise as they were truly the best brownies you could hope for- way better than the cake in my opinion!The second experience I had was when I ordered 8 individual slices of cake to have a celebratory pandemic birthday as safely as possible. I had a lot of questions for them about placing the order and they were super fast at responding and very understanding and communicative. Due to the timing of when I was able to order/pickup the cake it did sit in my fridge for a couple days before the gathering. While it was still really good it wasn't as good as I would have hoped for, especially based on the brownies! I will certainly get it again one day when I can eat it immediately though as I'm sure it would be a way different experience!

Absolutely love the cakes from this awesome women-owned business! I have great memories of hanging out with friends there, and I order cakes from Butter and Scotch for every special occasion, including my 30th birthday to my wedding celebration! The cakes are so so good. I also have one of their t-shirts. Love the chocolate cake but my favorite cake is the birthday cake w/ rainbow sprinkles. : )

Butter & Scotch is a cozy, intimately sized eatery that is mostly known for their decadent desserts. Having had the pleasure of coming here multiple times over the years to enjoy cakes, brownies, cookies, etc. my favorite has to be....The Birthday Cake! Ok, I will come back to that later on in this review so that I do not get the craving for a slice of the cake so early in the morning!-lol. Butter and Scotch is located on Franklin Avenue near the Franklun Avenue aubway station via the 2,3,4,5 trains as well as the shuttle train. There are so many cool places to eat along Franklin Avenue (Barboncino, MISC Brooklyn, Franklin Park, Dutch Boy Burger, Gladys (one of my favorites in this area), etc. that going to Butter & Scotch to have dessert after any of those dining experiences literally is the "icing on the cake". Butter & Scotch has the nicest decor that provides a chic, yet cool lounge-vibe atmosphere. The place is dimly lit throughout which has always made me feel like the owners want to provide some sort of inviting club ambiance. A movie projector was once present so patrons could watch whatever selected film there was along the large wall across from the bar area. Seating arrangements include bar stool seating as well as several mini tables towards the back section so that groups, friends, couples, etc. can eat together. There is a coat rack to hang your outerwear near the hippest "Butter & Scotch" sign above the bathroom door. Now...back to the desserts-lol. I have come with friends, my daughter and also by myself and have tried a variety of desserts. The Brownie Sundae is a triple Chocolate Brownie, vanilla ice Cream, hot fudge + caramel w/ whipped cream. The Chocolate Cake is a slice of dark chocolate cake w/ dark chocolate frosting, salted caramel sauce and edible gold glitter blingkles ("bling sprinkles"). The "Unicorn Treat Cookie" is a soft, chewy butter cookie covered in rainbow sprinkles. Now is the time to come back to discussing my favorite dessert...The Birthday Cake. This deliciously marvelous tasty treat is a slice of three layer vanilla cake w/ pink frosting + rainbow sprinkles. When I tell you that I savor every bite, I absolutely mean it. It truly is heavenly...Butter & Scotch also has milkshakes and signature alcohol/non-alcoholic beverages. We liked the "Name Shake" which consisted of caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream + infused w/ Scotch. Wow! You can also blend any of their pies, cakes, cookies, etc. into a DIY Milkshake ($13). Please go to www.butterandscotch.com if you wish to see the menu, find out more of their business information, visit their gift shop and to possibly participate in their "Support Our Staff" Drive.

Of all the businesses in our fair borough this might be the one that exemplifies the best things about Brooklyn most. A women-owned, part bakery, part cocktail bar that absolutely excels at being both. They raise money towards Planned Parenthood and use their platform to call on the people to call their elected officials to pay attention to issues that matter. Their social media feed features fun photos of their colorful confections with pithy messages like "Ladies Get Paid in 2020" and "Immigrants Make America Great." They're spreading the good work AND they make truly outstanding desserts. Their s'mores pie is without a doubt the most delicious thing I have ever tasted in my life. Truly! Imagine a smoky torched marshmallow top giving way for an whipped chocolate mousse that is completed with a buttery graham cracker crust. A heavenly pie that is too good for this earth. I also adore their very popular birthday cake which I think propelled them to local fame when they started at Smorgasburg. It is the platonic ideal of what a birthday cake should taste like-- moist, with the right frosting to cake ratio, and served as a large slice. Pair this with one of their winning cocktails and you're bound to have a good day. While we're all at home now this is one of the businesses I fantasize about going to and will definitely never take for granted again.

This place is cute and cozy. And I love the concept of desserts and booze (seriously, what else do you need in life). I have been meaning to go here for a long time and I finally went with a friend after grabbing dinner. My friend decided on getting the brownie and I (being the indecisive person that I am) could not decide on the Birthday Cake or the S'mores pie. I finally made an impulsive decision and went with the Birthday Cake; however, the owner (sensing my indecisiveness) comp us the S'mores pie as well. A table full of dessert...life is good. The staff (and owner, of course) are all extremely friendly and the desserts are delicious and divine. I cannot wait to go back.

Hey guys! This place is super cool, the ambience is very chill, good place to hang witb your girlfriends to just chill and catch up on shenanigans! I had the ciao bella, as their signature cocktail which honestly for me wasn't my taste. It had somewhat of a mediciney taste, perhaps it was pretty sweet, but if you like sweet drinks def choose this one. To have the bite, their birthday cake, as reccommended by our waitress Danielle, this cake was bomb. Honestly, I'm NOT into sweets but this cake convinced my mind. I had more than 1 bite and I definitely do not regret it! Try this out! The textures were super great, a moist spongey cake and no overpowering sweet flavors! I was quite impressed. Pass by, have a girls day out :)

Oh my, the warm brownie with vanilla ice cream is the bomb! Definitely, the highlight there for me. Also tried the s'mores pie, but was not crazy about it. It's good, but too sweet. The salted chocolate chip cookie was decent. Maybe if the cookie was served warm it would be better. It was more on the hard side. Love the service, the staff was very friendly. Cute ambiance, there is a bar area and a few tables available. Came on a Tuesday night and the bars and tables were mostly taken. They also have sweet coction of cocktails, but I was too full to try anything else. I will be back for you brownie!

This is one of my favorite bars in the neighborhood! Excellent incredibly friendly service and I love the mission of this place. Went for my birthday last year and got a birthday shot on the house. The desserts are great and the drinks are even better. It gets really crowded but that is just testament to how popular they are. Also did I mention how much I love the bartenders?! They are great!
