Butler Bakeshop & Espresso Bar — Restaurant in New York

Butler is my neighborhood haunt, and I’m there almost every day that I am home. The baristas are all very personable, beautiful people (inside and out).

The cold brew is my go-to (always smooth), but every espresso drink and tea I’ve had has also been delicious.

The pastries are also top notch. The mini sausage rolls are caky with a slight sweetness (pairs well with the tangy green sauce they provide). The ham and cheese croissants are well balanced. The croissants in general are pleasantly flakey while also being toothsome enough to be satiating.

Overall atmosphere is very nice. The restroom for customers is so clean and well-stocked. The space is very bright. It could, admittedly, benefit from having more outlets available for customers to use, but customers shouldn’t be lingering all day without buying additional drinks and/or food items.

Excellent spot. Will continue patronage, and will continue to excitedly...

A pretty good study spot by my standards— especially if you have some noise-cancelling earphones since the speakers are a lil loud. A+ for the americano! I usually prefer my coffee less acidic/ sour and more nutty BUT there’s also this narrow spot of perfect balance between both that I enjoy and this was exactly that balance ✨.

Also loved the muted but colorful theme/aesthetic of this place. It’s not monotone neutral but easy on the eyes as well :) definitely feels like Pinterest moodboard material.

There’s also free wifi and a bathroom which are essentials for folks like me who cafe-studiers.

And the cashier with the black cap who calls customers “lovelies” was so welcoming and awesome so shoutout to her as well.

Haven’t tried the pastries so can’t vouch for those tho. Maybe next time bc I would definitely...

Usually don’t leave reviews, but feeling obligated. Usually get an espresso in the morning when I’m working nearby. They were just bringing out the fresh chocolate covered croissants on the rack and loading them into the display. I made a face and shook my head at how delicious these looked.

The gentleman boxed one up for me on the house, but I respectfully had to decline. I could’ve eaten that whole tray with no issues, but trying to be disciplined. This was such a kind gesture that hurt to turn down.

If you’re reading this; thank you for making my morning. It’s gestures from places like this that make customers life long and bring communities closer.

Edit

A year later and nothing gets me harder than their...
