Crema's Take

Buttermilk Bakery has earned its cult following with genuinely exceptional pastries that somehow manage to be both light and deeply flavorful—think buttery croissants, standout items like the mortadella hot honey croissant, and treats like peach scones that convert even non-pastry lovers. The vibe here balances perfectly between a quick coffee grab and a lingering sit-down experience with outdoor seating, all backed by consistently fresh daily bakes that draw lines out the door. This Winter Park gem feels like the kind of neighborhood spot that's worth the pilgrimage, whether you're a serious pastry enthusiast or just looking for an exceptionally well-executed coffee and croissant moment.

I tried 2 different croissants and peanut butter cookie, and all were made well not to sweet on the cookie great peanut butter taste. (Love me some peanut butter) It was a soft but firm cookie, almost melt in your mouth. The 🥐 croissants were savery and done well, not to salty or over dressed. (A dipping sauce might go well with them if you like sauces) Over all great service, it's a bit too small for everyone to line up inside, so a line forns outside. Smells nice, nice service with a smile, portions are good sized. (I eat a lot and hartier portions are my favorite) For my first visit it's a nice lil place to treat yourself. I spent $15 dollars and had snacks from lunch to dinner that day.

I’m from Jacksonville and stumbled on Buttermilk Bakery while going down a Reddit rabbit hole looking for “the best dough in Florida” — and wow, Reddit actually came through for once! This place is small but mighty — super organized, cute outdoor seating, and the smell alone could make you spend your whole paycheck. When I showed up, it was packed, which pretty much confirmed I was in the right spot. I tried a few things (because self-control is overrated), and every single one was incredible. Flaky, buttery, perfectly baked — honestly, they could teach a masterclass in how to make carbs magical. If you’re anywhere near Winter Park, do yourself a favor and swing by. Just be ready to fall in love with everything in the display case.

Heavens to Besty; I’m not even a pastry eater like that but with Buttermilk Bakery, I assure you, I’ve been converted - only for them though. I absolutely love how light yet flavorful everything is - even the DONUT was light… like are you kidding me?! Pure deliciousness. There has not been one treat that I’ve tried and haven’t liked. They clearly are passionate and put love into what they do.

This spot has been on my list for ages and I seriously regret taking this long to try it out. Everything I ordered was nothing short of delicious. The mortadella hot honey croissant was my personal favorite! My friends and I got an assortment and the silence among us was very telling of how much we enjoyed the pastries. We will most definitely be back!

You know this is a popular spot when there is a line out the door! Everything is baked fresh daily. There is a wide selection of savory and sweet baked goods. My favorite today was the peach scone and bread pudding cinnamon roll. The perfect amount of sweetness, without tasting like sugar. Baked to perfection with a little crunch on the outside and soft in the middle. You can’t go wrong, everything is amazing. Coffee was good, I went with the batch brew. There is seating on the sidewalk out front and a few table available on the side porch. Parking in the street and in the back lit. I’ve noticed that several coffee shops in the area carry these baked goods.
