We came by the day before Mother's Day, so they had pre decorated Mother's Day cakes. You can also place an order. Service is quick and friendly. We initially planned on getting a Strawberry Shortcake, as that seemed to be the cake to get. However, we opted for the Cheesecake, because we were able to add fresh strawberries (and whipped cream) on top! I'm not a fan of whipped cream, so I avoided that, but everyone seemed to enjoy. It had a good creamy texture and was not too sweet. The strawberries were indeed fresh. The pound cake was soft and airy. The vanilla flavor comes through. I will have to try the Marbled version next time! Note: Cash Only! A regular customer ordered the tiramisu cake; said it was the best cake ever, so will have to try that next time!

We've also enjoyed their Seafood Gravy Noodle, which is much better than what you can find at Tastes Good; the Batagor--fried tofu and fish dumplings served with peanut sauce; and their excellent Gado Gado salad.

This bakery is so good that I have debated asking the church across the street if I could move in there, just so I could be closer. Normally, when you think about a bakery, you think sweets and boy, do they do sweets very well here. Delicious blackout cake cupcakes. Amazing coconut cupcakes. The only moist crumb cake on earth! But the bacon-cheddar-chive scone is really one of my desert island foods; I would be happy to eat one of those every day. There is no reason to ever go to a place like Starbucks when you are lucky enough to have this place in your neighborhood; no chain could compare to this homemade deliciousness. And the place itself is very nice. The counter people are kind and helpful. The decor is crisp and clean. Just an all around gem. In short, get yourself here! read more

While wandering through Ridgewood one afternoon, I happened upon Buttah Bakery and decided to step inside to see what they had to offer. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere caught my attention, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. They took the time to explain their selection, which included an impressive array of baked goods. I decided to try a few of their cupcakes, and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. Each cupcake was perfectly moist, bursting with rich flavor, and decorated with such care and creativity--it was almost too pretty to eat! This little bakery is truly a hidden gem in Ridgewood, and I can't wait to go back and explore more of their delicious menu. read more

For a bakery that generates this much interest, the setup feels strangely unfinished. There's nowhere comfortable to sit, nowhere practical to wait when there's a line, product availability is often disappointing, and on top of that the shop closes at 3PM. For many people, that means arriving only to discover limited options or a closed storefront. What makes this especially confusing is that this location is in Ridgewood, a neighborhood already full of strong food and coffee options. Opening a highly anticipated bakery should bring something new and enjoyable to the community. Instead, it feels like customers are expected to adapt to a business model that prioritizes operational convenience over the actual customer experience. Maybe from a business perspective this investment makes sense. But from a customer perspective, the excitement of finally having this bakery in the neighborhood quickly turns into frustration. I wanted to become a regular customer, but every visit feels unnecessarily inconvenient. The products deserve better than the experience surrounding them.
