The Buttery — Restaurant in Fountain Valley

This is one of my favorite matcha places in all of OC!! I come here every Monday after class for their “Matcha Mondays” special where all the matchas are $4! They have so many delicious options and I have loved every single one. They also have the most delicious pastries as well! The croissants and macarons are all delicious but my absolute favorite is the yuzu lemon tart!!!!!! HANDS DOWN THE BEST TART I THINK IVE EVER ATE IN MY LIFE. Perfect sweetness and has fresh fruit on top, the crust is super yummy as well, super refreshing and yummy!

It’s pretty hard to find good matcha in OC and I can tell you this has got to be one of the very few places that get it right! And with all the different flavor options from strawberry to ube they all are amazing!

The staff are also the friendliest people!!! I’ve only been coming here once a week for the past month I think(?) and they remember me and welcome me back every time :)

The atmosphere is great, they always have nice upbeat music on and the seating area is really cute with little couches and coffee tables. Both me and my little sister love coming here to just talk and have some drinks n treats! I also come here to work on my homework or art! Overall 10/10 recommend trying this...

I was pet sitting in the area and came across this place. I had the iced Vietnamese coffee, almond croissant, and a yuzu berry tart.

The customer service was excellent. Very friendly, quick service. The seating area is decorated very cute. It’s definitely a vibe.

The coffee is excellent. I’ve never had Vietnamese coffee so I have nothing to compare it to but this drink was SO GOOD! They use Moongoat coffee. Love love love.

The croissant is super tasty, light and flaky, with just enough almond butter. Not super sweet, just really good.

I haven’t eaten the yuzu fruit tart yet, saving it for later but it’s very aesthetically pleasing.

I would definitely come back.

Parking: easy, free lot Bathroom: I didn’t use the bathroom-no notes Price point: coffee $5.50, pastries vary. I spent $23 with a tip for coffee and two pastries that could easily be shared. ADA- there is a ramp to enter the plaza and seating and entrance to establishment easily accessible. No notes...

Massively disappointed in the matcha!!

Normally that wouldn't warrent a 3-star review, but matcha makes up about half of their drink menu and they emphesize that their matcha is authentic from Kyoto. There's probably nothing wrong with the matcha itself, but I wouldn't know because as far as my sea salt matcha went, the flavor was 90% milk. They drowned out the matcha to the point where after a few sips I actually gave up convincing myself it was alright and tossed it. (And yes, I mixed it together thoroughly!)

There are positives though! Their food is fine enough (nothing crazy), the inside is cute and clean, and the person who helped us was very friendly. Also, my friend ordered a Vietnamese coffe and it was AWESOME.

So... not the worst. I just want people who come for the matcha to know that they don't exactly use it to its fullest potential (or...
