The Buttery - Santa Cruz (CA)

2 /5 Eva Agus: 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.

5 /5 Heather Vina: 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.

5 /5 An Krapivkin: I was introduced to this place by my former manager. Whenever Im 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. Dont expect nice decore or instagram-able ambiance, youre there for the food and thats all that matters. If you want to make sure all the flavors are available, Id suggest going earlier if its 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 theyre not too sweet (best Asian dessert compliment btw lol). Just the right amount of creaminess, and the flavors are spot on. Theyre consistent with the quality of their products. I havent tried their savory foods so I dont have any pointers on that. Bottom line: Will always make a pit stop here!

5 /5 Christine Singh: My family and I went for lunch here today. The food was great.

5 /5 Kyra A: Large amount of bakery items to choose from and numerous hot breakfast options to choose from as well. There is an outside eating area. The staff was super polite and made sure my first experience there was the best. I ordered the bacon burrito and it came with delicious hot salsa. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.
