Butternut Bakehouse
49 Leonard St, Belmont, MA
Crema's Take
“Butternut Bakehouse is a warm, welcoming spot where the real stars are the house-made pastries and baked goods—think pillowy egg sandwiches, exceptional egg tarts, and blueberry cake that'll make you forget to take pictures. The staff here genuinely cares about every customer, creating a genuinely kind atmosphere that keeps people coming back, though the coffee itself is solid if not extraordinary. It's the kind of place where thoughtful baking, attentive service, and a comfortable space to linger make for a memorable breakfast or brunch experience.”

I really love the breakfast egg sandwich. It is made to order and has the pillow iest puff bread wrapped along this light egg patty with fantastic sauce on both ends. I thought the matcha latte I ordered was quite a bit chalky textured and not as tasty as the sandwich. I also appreciate the business does not expect tips but built a 12% service charge into the menu for its staff.
Everything was so good. The egg tart was so tasty that I completely forgot to take a picture until it was gone. Definitely try the egg tart. I really enjoyed the breakfast sandwich too. The space feels light and cozy, with plenty of plants🪴. Such a great overall experience！
The coffee is pretty good, could be better. But the reason for the 5 stars is because of their food/baked goods. They are very good and keep me coming back, especially for their morning buns.
I am so impressed by this cafe. I have been a few times and I am disabled and they are so kind and helpful with getting me my food. This is a huge reflection on the staff’s kindness and desire to go above and beyond. The morning bun is absolutely a must! So many layers of pastry and the cinnamon and sugar is amazing. As a homebaker with many years of experience, all their pastries that I have tried are exceptional. I also recommend their teas and coffees. I love their morning bun syrup as well. I have been to both locations and they are always doing such good work. I cannot recommend them enough.
Absolutely loved my recent visit to Butternut Bakehouse! This place is a total gem, and I just have to share how awesome it was. First off, the blueberry cake there is out of this world. Seriously, it's like nothing I've ever tasted before. The cake was super moist, and the blueberries were perfectly sweet – not too sugary, just natural and delicious. It's one of those cakes that you keep thinking about long after you've finished eating. Then there was the cappuccino. I'm kind of picky about my coffee, but their cappuccino was on point. It had the perfect amount of foam, and the temperature was just right. It wasn't too hot or too cold, which is super important for a good cappuccino. It was the kind of drink that makes you feel all cozy and happy inside. The vibe of Butternut Bakehouse is also worth mentioning. It's got this cool, laid-back atmosphere that makes you want to hang out there all day. The staff were super friendly too. They greeted me right when I walked in and were really nice the whole time. It's cool when you can feel comfortable in a place right away. And oh, the smells in the bakehouse! As soon as you walk in, you get hit with the scent of fresh baking, and it's amazing. It's like walking into a cloud of happiness. I could seriously just sit there and smell the air all day. I'm already planning my next trip back to Butternut Bakehouse. Gotta try more of their cakes and maybe some pastries too. If you haven't been there yet, you're totally missing out. It's a must-visit for anyone who loves good cake and coffee!
