Good food. Love the concept (tax and tip worked into the prices, order at the counter) chili bean sauce of the burrito was good. Large portion sizes, we could have split one breakfast burrito. Nice staff.

Excellent staff, the breakfast egg & cheese biscuit w/ the Cliff option was delicious...sorry no picture, I couldnt wait to eat it. The Eclairs are the best I have ever eaten! The rhubarb muffin, also delicious. Prices reflect quality of food. Food and staff are awesome, check it out for yourself and make sure to get an Eclair.

Very good, simple, homemade food. We ordered the grilled cheese (the multi-grain bread was an amazing choice and added taste to an otherwise too simple of a meal). My husband had their breakfast burrito, it tasted great but too big for one person. Would definitely order again!

The key lime cheesecake was perfect. Great flavor and texture.

Great baked good options and they definitely hit the mark on their namesake. The biscuits are great solo or as part of a sandwich. Highly recommend if you are looking for top notch food or coffee.

Homemade chai!! And its fantastic and not overly sweet at all!! They make a great latte. Also, they have a lower caffeinated red tea version. Ten stars for the chai alone, but five more for the bakery items, the beautiful sun filled space, the great staff, their missions, efforts, priorities, and values. Helping homeless youth, paying livable wages, local sourcing, it goes on and on. If I ever move out of southside Ill still make the trip here.

Dan is a wonderful owner, and the ambiance of the store itself is very family friendly / cozy. The food is usually great! However I am inclined to mention that the Creamy Mushroom Soup had WAY too much rosemary in it. Every mouthful had a leaf in it and it was enough to start picking the pieces out. Could just be me but less is more!

Such a great neighborhood spot! Great coffee, amazing staff, and the egg and biscuit breakfast sandwich is a must!

I really enjoyed the breakfast Ive order at the place. My only disappointment was the coffee not being made good at all. It was bland and not strong with just sugar.

This is a community-oriented cafe unlike any other in America. Their mission is in every detail and choice they’ve made as a small business. From where they source their ingredients to the young men and women they employ. The food itself deserves 5 stars as well. The best apple pie I ever had was from Butter Bakery. The best poppy seed cake I’ve ever had was from butter bakery. Their Turkey BLT is one of my go to sandwiches in Minneapolis (delicious). Their biscuit sandwiches are also fantastic. Easily accessible by bike. Will be going over and over again.

Butter walks the walk when it comes to supporting and contributing to the community. Between their food sourcing, hiring practices, present ownership, and cute little patio, its an easy busy to support.

My vanilla latte tasted like dirt. Biscuits and gravy was so bland. It was overly priced and fruit flies were bothering us our entire meal. Would not recommend.

Butter Bakery Cafe was a delightful surprise! I had the tofu scramble and my friend had the breakfast burrito. Delicious- but the apple honey scone topped it all! I did wish that it had been a little warmer in the dining area, the metal chairs are chilly. But all and all, a great meal and atmosphere. Thanks for the kind smiles and delicious food!

Your friendly neighborhood bakery! Great spot on Nicollet to grab breakfast or lunch. Staff is friendly and kind, food is responsible, fresh and delicious. Can get busy on the weekend mornings. Breakfast burrito is a consistent staple. 👌

Can I give this place a 10 out of 5 rating? Butter bakery is seriously one of the best places Ive ever eaten at. I ordered the turkey sandwich and the bun was still warm! All of the ingredients were fresh and absolutely delicious. Keep up the great work!

Always good food (especially the buttermilk pancake). Very nice atmosphere and values.

Great little corner bakery / cafe that serves up good pastries and desserts. Their prices include tax, so what you see is the price you pay! This shop supports locally sourced vendors and really has a family type vibe to it. Give it a try and you wont be disappointed.

Breakfast burrito is bomb.

Very long wait time for simple items. How does it take an hour to get some fruit blended into a smoothie? Why cant I buy some chips and salsa while I wait an hour for my food? Unnecessarily long wait time is very common. Great food, but overpriced. Very disappointing.

Great service and food. Kudos on going with no tipping and paying fair wages. I hope this spreads to other places.

What a cool spot! This cafe is community-centered and great for meetups. The atmosphere is bright and engaging and the menu is quality. They serve food and drinks in actual dishware of plates and mugs. They are well-staffed, but the wait can be somewhat long at times. Theres a lot of seating. The food is full of flavor and portions are good.

Been here a few times. Coffee and food are great bjt honestly not worth the wait.. over 30 min for a piece of toast today... pretty disappointing as its definitely not the first time waiting very long for very simple items

They have the most delightful quiche flavors. And the ciabatta is soooooooo good.

You can never have too much butter - that is my belief. If I have a religion, thats it.. ~ Nora Ephron Good food. Good service. Good vibes.

Eco-friendly, and provide fair wages for their employees🧡 Service was great+ friendly. I had a decaf french press, which was phenomenal. I also ordered a blueberry scone, which was crisp, crunchy and crumbly on the outside+moist and fluffy in the inside. Seriously one of the best blueberry scones of my life. Do yourself a favor and go here!!!

Always awesome staff and Excellent baked goods! My favorite early morning stop.

Great food. Recommend it as a good place to visit.

Super cute inside and a great place to work. Everyone is so friendly!

Food is delicious and very friendly staff

Good quantity of food, tastes great, funky location.

Love it here! Been a fan since they were on Grand Ave. Consistently good food and service. And I suggest indulge in their tea list while you’re here.

Watered down coffee, not as much flavor as I expected. Service was fair enough. Ordered a dark roast but it reminded me of my moms coffee. I kept drinking it thinking, wait, will this get better? No, it wont. I ordered the Breakfast sandwich Clint style, based on the instagram photo, which was delightfully presented, but honestly, the biscuit could have been more salty. It was a perfectly assembled biscuit with a perfectly melted cheese and egg over easy. That part was perfect, and the avocado was also perfect. When I got it home, I added hot sauce to amp up the flavor.

Good food, it can be difficult to find seats if youre a part of a larger group.

Its AMAZING! Good food and good coffees!

Desert first. This is my kind of place. Laidback place to enjoy your meal

I was pleasantly surprised by the food options this place has to offer. I ended up ordering the vegan burrito and a regular black coffee (both were great btw). When I came to pick up the order, the staff had it ready and were so kind. Looking forward to when they allow indoor dining again!

The pancake mix here is awesome, the fruit scones are delicious and the pecan pie that I got for Thanksgiving was perfection. I had fun sharing it with family and friends. Thank you Butter!

Delicious food! Great atmosphere! Fabulous service!

We ordered a birthday cake from Butter Bakery because they do good work and work to support persons in need. The cake was lovely in appearance, and the carrot cake by itself was delicious. The frosting, however, ruined the cake. There was way too much of it; it was very HEAVY; and it was tasteless. What about using a simple cream cheese frosting on the carrot cake??

This was the first time Ive ever had bad customer service here. I was waiting for a while, but thats not what really bothered me. While the cashier was on the phone, she seemed to go out of her way to avoid acknowledging me. Normally if an employee was on the phone, I would expect them to make eye contact and smile, but I was not acknowledged in any way. I finally walked out.

The carrot walnut cookie sandwich made me switch religions. This place is amazing!

Quiche is ridiculously good!

Not only is the coffee, baked goods, and service here GREAT, so is the local artistry on display!!Taking these colorful beauties home this New Years Day!@RachelsHeArtWork @RachelSchmitt

Love Butter Bakery Cafe. The staff, the food and the philosophy are the reasons I come here. Be kind to one another and patronize independent businesses.

Service was great along with the food

Ordered over the phone for breakfast. Food was made promptly. Outside dining was allowed which I appreciated. The food was average and coffee was watered down. Overall service was good.

Biscuits are so delicious!

Magnificent lavender lemonade

Absolutely worth the drive from Bloomington and every penny!!!

Great coffee, substantial meals- the omelette is full plate sized, added cheddar + bacon + ham for the whole shebang. Dont miss the sauteed veggies

The best treats ever. I go here when i have a sugar craving. Awesome staff and a company that does good for the community and their employees. Love this place. Also love their biscuit breakfast sandwiches!

Ive been going here for years! Excellent service and great treats!

I only did a takeout order but the cafe seemed pretty cute on the inside. In a great location with a lot of street parking (though I went at a non busy time).The biscuit sandwich was pretty good for how inexpensive it was. Theyve also moved away from a tip based format which I really like. I felt like the biscuit was slightly dry or maybe overcooked, but I think i may just be used to something different.The pastry section was on point too.

The concept is admirable and the food is pretty standard. The man working the counter today was extremely rude. A very elderly gentleman asked for a pancake 3 minutes after kitchen close and was harshly told “no, the kitchen is closed” - he then asked if it was possible to just get a bowl of soup and was again met with “um, no! The kitchen IS CLOSED.” You should treat all customers and humans with kindness and respect, but especially cute little elderly folks! When I got to the counter, I said “how are you?” to the staff member and he replied “well, I’m here.” Additional aggressive rudeness ensued and I left with an incorrect order because I wouldn’t dare bother him with that. Be better, sweetie.

Great place to meet friends, responsible business owners, fair wages for workers.Good job practicing physical distancing.The only critique I can give in that regard, is that when I tried to order online, the payment field where I was to enter my cards expiration date information.Most of the transactions I make use a mm/yyyy format. On butters website the format is mm/yy. This being the year 2020, the payment field thought i was entering the year 20, when it should have been 22. I was unable to correctly enter, so I phoned it in.

Great little cafe! Has great food and baked goods as well as coffee. Lots of locally sourced food and gifts. All the staff are very friendly and understanding!

The biscuits are amazing!

Great concept not especially well executed. For a casual, counter order cafe, you wouldnt expect to have to wait 20 minutes to get a very average smoothie, but I did. My friends even waited slightly longer for their sandwiches, and although the environment was conducive to good conversation, our bellies were rumbling pretty loud by the time our food came out. Cant fault the staff too much as it was a busy morning, but...it wasnt that busy.

Very reliably disappointing service.Always a downer to go into a cafe and all they ask is what do you want. No friendliness, showcasing of baked goods, or small banter allowed here.2nd time in a row with this impoverished human affair.Also, too expensive: 10.50 for a mocha and bar (and not even a specialty milk.

Excellent. Unusually delicious food and treats! Friendly staff.Goes really far to be environmentally conscious effortlessly! Impressive.

Great neighborhood hang out!

I love the breakfast burrito, lemon bars, and lattes! Small parking lot in back, otherwise conveniently located on bus lines. Expect a decent wait for your food.

Everything on the menu is great, according to several friends of mine. I started with the spicy hot chocolate and recommend it. I also had quiche and a pancake which were very tasty. True to their name, they are generous with the delicious butter. I will certainly be returning to try more of the menu in the future.

Locally owned! They pay fair wages! The eclaires!

One of my favorite local cafes. The space is bright and airy, lots of nice natural light. The staff is incredible and a big part of what makes this place amazing. They are all so kind and welcoming. They have great breakfast and bakery options and a great cup of coffee.

The food was delicious and reasonably priced (1$, not 3). They dont make their employees rely on tips, that money is included in the menu. The staff were great and the patio was lovely. The atmosphere was focused on the local community and socially conscious.

Such a delicious breakfast or lunch. The biscuit sandwich or just the plain biscuit with jam is my favorite. So good!

Impressive. Very fresh food. Love it. Is extremely satisfying .

Cool place. I had a fancy coffee and it was good. Nothing blew me away but a solid place to revisit.

This place has delicious coffee and food. They use high quality, local ingredients which taste delicious and give the place a leg up over other cafes in my opinion. It seems very community oriented and has been one of my favorite spots since moving to the neighborhood a year ago. I love their daily quiche and the breakfast burrito. So many vegan and vegetarian options make it even better! They have great baked goods as well, like the magic bar and all their cookies are good. It is also a place that pays living wage so the tip is built into the prices which can be nice.

Can I spend multiple whole work days here? Yes! Refillable coffee and hibiscus berry tea, Im gonna be here for a while. Food is fresh and great--no tip establishment so you know they pay fair wages. Great community feel...love my neighborhood coffee shop.

Theyre ciabatta is delicious, so soft and perfectly chewy. Love the turkey sandwich. Great neighborhood cafe!

I really want to give them 5 stars, but I cant.Lovely people, they pay a living wage so no tipping. The atmosphere is great, service is great, but the food is always disappointing. Bland, Midwestern boring. I was excited to see beautiful biscuits in the display case, only to bite into unsalted things. I literally used a salt shaker on biscuits. I did this twice, so it wasnt an anomaly. Other foods also required salting, but still lacked flavor.Funny thing is, I want to go back, but I wont.

Really tasty ground turkey burger, blended with veggies, Tasty bun; nice sides of spicy slaw and corn chips. Cold press with cream and maple syrup was just ok - had better (Angry Catfish). But lots seating, not rushed ... great place to gab. And really, really like the sustainable wage / no tipping model.

I love butter bakery cafe. Its for the best places that Ive eaten. Its a great place to grab a bite to eat before going to work, and all the staff are nice. Including the owner. My personal favorite is the veggie hummus wrap,.

This is a great place to go for breakfast! Home cooked and home baked food. Very community - based. They are a no - tipping place. The food is priced so that workers make a fair wage without tips. They have vegetarian options. They have a wonderful selection of coffees and teas. You can get mochas and lattes here, too. I highly recommend Butter!

We usually have a lot of out-of-town visitors at our place, and we always bring them here or pick up goodies for their first morning with us!My favorites are: the carrot cake whoopie pie, their biscuit sandwich, or their rotating scone choices. Their coffee and cold brew is also top notch.

Unusual flavors without being clever for its own sake. In other words, the drinks and food taste great! The ginger molasses cookies are to die for. The place is always clean, bright, and welcoming...as are the staff. :-)

My partner and I just moved back from Austin TX and I have to say.... I MISSED THIS PLACE! Food is always amazingly good, the portion size is awesome, the staff is very friendly and accommodating! The space is very clean and neat... All of these things AND a pet friendly patio seating made this dining experience so glad we moved back! We will return!

Great coffee and sandwiches

Loved the atmosphere, menu choices, and coffee! Great place to meet friends, grab a quick bite, or just sit and read/work a bit.

Always come here when Im visiting! Consistently delicious food, calming atmosphere, very helpful and funny staff! Cannot wait to go back- especially for the scones, quiches, French press coffee and biscuts and gravy!!

Ive walked past Butter Bakery many times and never tried it but have always heard good things. The place was very quiet when I went in, nearly dead. I waited 7 minutes for someone to come to the counter. I ordered a $6.50 bowl of soup to go. I waited another 10 minutes for them to give it to me. The tiny container, the server assured, me was full to the very top when I asked if the container was the bowl I ordered. I got home to find a good 2 or 3 inches of empty space and the container only about 3/4 of the way full. Im really not impressed. The 2 stars is for decently good soup, nothing amazing. I might give it another try just to be fair but I dont expect to be wowed.

Im not in this area as much anymore but this is really one of my favorite brunch spots. Its worth going out of the way for. If you havent...you must. Its an absolute gem in s. Mpls...

Coffee is great here and they offer free refills! Espresso drinks are great as well. Bakery items are pretty good and the eclairs are a local favorite. I love the carrot cake sandwich cookies too!Youre best bet for food is the biscuit sandwich. Unfortunately, I find a lot of the other food on the menu to be a bit bland. However, Im not a MN native... People here tend to like bland food (-;Service is usually pretty good, you may have to wait a bit for your food if theyre really busy. Definitely worth a visit though if youre in the neighborhood though!

Good coffee. Awesome breakfast food! I had the breakfast sandwich with ham. My wife had the steel cut oats. No complaints whatsoever!

Love this place! Great coffee and food, great cause as well. Might go 4.5 stars if I had the option, but a good solid choice.

Really good coffee and breakfast sandwich. My kids loved the play area

Great food, and great service to the community. Butter is such a great resource for our neighborhood. Awesome local business doing things the right way!

First visit. Great tasting scones. Ill go back for more. Highly recommend Butter Bakery Cafe.

Super hipster heaven. Biscuits & gravy had no flavor except that the cooks didn’t cook the flour taste out of the roux & obviously didn’t use the rendered fat from the sausage to make the roux. Served luke warm. Cups of regular coffee served warm. Nobody checked to make sure I needed anything else, but I was sitting at the coffee bar/high top counter.I’ll stick to the hole in the wall spots not in hipster parts of town.

I love this place! They have great food, coffee, bakery items, and customer service! Ordering tip-try the breakfast burrito and carrot/beet burger.

Likable. Pricey. But best Biscuits to date Ive had. Great Breakfast sandwiches.

Butter is the greatest neighborhood bakery / coffee shop / breakfast joint. They stay pretty busy with good reason - the pastries especially are THE BEST!

What a great place to stop for a quick bite, their scones are to die for and the atmosphere is perfect for a coffee date or study session!

Last year the owner abolished tipping and marketed that he was paying his employees a “living wage.” It turns out that he just raised his prices and is paying poverty wages to his employees. The service is terrible and the business is failing. Do not support this greedy business owner.

One of those hidden gems 😎I had a friend introduce Me to this Place, and I am Glad She did 😍Simply Amazing 😊

Very good breakfasts (try the biscuits and gravy!), plus baked goods that put Butter very close to the top-tier of Minneapolis bakeries/patisseries.

Good cafe vibe and excellent baked goods and coffee.

Honestly one of THE best cupcake places in the city.Ive tried cupcakes and cakes and it just tastes SOOOO good!My cousin had a birthday where she had a coconut cake from here and I usually dont like cake but WOW that was the best cake Ive had. It was just soft and a lil nice touch with the coconut. I ate so many pieces.If you like coconut, try the coconut cupcake or cake. They have a lot of different ones, so youre bound to find something great.
