I had no clue there was a cake shop in this neighborhood until I saw their seasonal corn cake on social media. I was bummed I missed that flavor, but the staff were friendly and helpful in helping me decide on a new flavor. The cake slice is quite small for the price, so definitely a special occasion treat, but the quality is high. Each layer was perfectly executed and balanced.

The cake was astonishingly beautiful and delicious as well! Everyone loved it so so so much. Amanda was so friendly and went above and beyond to make sure my cake was in good hands. They take really special care into their craft and just as much to their customers. I really appreciated how kind and accommodating she was. It was 100% worth it! The whole experience was truly priceless Thank you for making my special day even more special

We absolutely loved our wedding cake from Butter&! We ordered the small classic white cake in the chocolate and hazelnut flavor, and it was AMAZING. The flavor was delicious, and the texture was perfect. It was such a beautiful and delicious addition to our wedding day! The delivery process was also incredibly easy. They dropped the cake off directly at our wedding venue, and it arrived in a very sturdy, secure carrying box that kept everything safe and made the entire process completely stress-free. We had our florist add flowers to the cake, and it turned out absolutely gorgeous! We couldn't have been happier with our experience with Butter&. The cake tasted incredible, looked beautiful, and the delivery was seamless. If you're looking for a wedding cake that tastes just as good as it looks, I highly recommend Butter&! They were such a wonderful addition to our special day.

Butter & is a premier cake bakery in San Francisco. They create elegant special occasion cakes, with flavors that are unique, and change seasonally. Getting married? They offer a five slice option for cake tasting. You can purchase an additional slice from the seasonal selection for an additional cost. The tasting is enough for at least a few bites from each slice. I like the option of ordering the "sampler" and having the tasting in your own home. The designs for their cakes are that simplistic beauty that stands on its own. It's a very elevated look. The price point is on the higher end. Current flavor offerings are: lychee raspberry, brown butter/lemon, hazelnut/chocolate, double chocolate, and cookies and cream. You can walk in and purchase a slice for around $10.00. The offerings are whatever they have available. Lovely staff and a lovely experience.

Could not recommend this place more. The cake I ordered for a friend's birthday was perfection!! We went with sweet cream and roasted berries (a seasonal flavor) and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend going to their storefront and trying a few different flavors. They were all great... even the gluten-free option. You order online, and can easily make adjustments via text or email. Communication was overall good. Will definitely work with Butter& for cakes in the future.

I recently got a small expose cake for my partner's birthday. I had tried a slice of their brown butter and meyer lemon cake when I stopped in the store and loved how light and subtly sweet it was. When I saw that they have a lychee and raspberry cake, I knew I had to get that for a birthday cake! It's simple to place an order online and pick up is at their Dogpatch location. Everything was super smooth and I grabbed candles in store when I went to pick it up. The cake was gorgeous with gold lettering on top (you can customize it but I went with the traditional happy birthday). The cake layers were gorgeous and I loved the lighter than usual lychee flavored buttercream and the tart raspberry jam in between the cake layers balanced out the sweetness perfectly. Would definitely recommend Butter& for celebration cakes or just if you're craving a slice of cake. They have seasonal/monthly special flavors as well which I'll definitely need to try in the future.

cookies and cream cake slices
Alexis M.

Butter& has such beautiful cakes, and I've been wanting to try them for the longest time. I ended up trying the cookies and cream cake along with the lemon cake, and personally thought they were just okay overall. The lemon cake was definitely the better of the two, while the cookies and cream tasted pretty average to me. The inside of the shop was super cute, and the staff were friendly as well. I've always wanted to order a full cake from here, but considering the price point and taste, I'm not sure it would be worth it unless you're mainly going for the aesthetics.

Expose Floral, Brown Butter and Meyer Lemon
Martin H.

There are not that many places that can live up to its hype but Butter& can. Don't even debate ordering from here, just do it. I ordered the brown butter and meyer lemon cake for my girlfriend's birthday and it was probably the most delicious cake I ever had. As Paul from Great British Bakeoff would say "I want the lemon flavors to punch me in the face" and this cake indeed did just that. The lemon was sour enough to pack a punch but not overwhelming enough to be like a war head hard candy. The brown butter balanced it out excellently and I am so excited to try future cake flavors. Now let's next talk about service. I had this cake delivered because I couldn't pick it up and it was exceptional service from beginning to end. The Butter& team was in communication with me 24 hours after I put in my order and made sure all my phone numbers were updated on file so they would be able to contact me or my girlfriend. On top of that, I wanted a golden custom script but sadly what I wanted to say wouldn't have fit on the cake. I didn't realize this was a $20 extra fee and ended up paying for it. Thankfully the staff was so on top of it, that they emailed me the following morning and made sure that this wasn't a mistake. I ended up getting a refund for the $20 after my cake was delivered without even having to contact them. This alone sold me on the integrity of the business let alone the quality of the cakes. I was super thankful. Last but not least let's talk about the delivery. The window I chose was 10-10:30 AM and my cake came by 9:50. I couldn't have asked for more prompt and professional service. So. After going through this experience, ordering delivery, and tasting the cake, I would highly highly recommend Butter& to anyone and everyone. The price you are paying for is not only for the cake itself, but to ensure the workers here at Butter& also receive a fair living wage. That alone is enough for me to want to become a long time customer. With that said, I hope my review pushes you over the edge to order from this wonderful bakery and cheers to the owners for running an amazing business. P.S. One small feedback. You should just create another menu item under the personalized message option that says "Leave Blank" to prevent more experiences like mines. More so because I can only imagine how time consuming it must be for your staff to double check with every customer. Other than that everything is great and easy to navigate.

Brown Butter & Myer Lemon
Helen H.

The cake shop has been on my list a long time and I was finally in the area. I only wanted a slice of cake. Out of the three options they had, I went with the brown butter and Meyer lemon. The cake was moist and yummy. The flavors worked well together. Even so, I cannot justify coming back and spending $9 for a slice that's about the size of my fist.

Wedding cake for 26 and a gluten free small cake.
Valerie Z.

If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. We got our wedding cake from here and it was the easiest part of the whole wedding. I loved that we could do a tasting at home and we were then able to include my mom and dad via zoom. The communication and ordering was seamless and the staff was so responsive to email questions and scheduling for drop off concerns we had. The drop off at the venue went off without a hitch and our cake was ready to be cut when we were ready! For our anniversary they sent us a little order reminder and we got a cake to cut on our one year anniversary! So happy with our choice and loved the cake?

Lychee and Raspberry cake
Patrick P.

First time customer here and definitely will not be the last Worth it? Yes! - Ordered a Lychee & Raspberry cake for a going away party in the smallest size available and for the price $, I would say it is absolutely worth it! Ordering: - It was super easy on the website and seamless which made it less stressful when ordering last minute (ordered 2 days before when it was needed which was their standard anyways). Delivery/ Pick up: - I decided to pick up rather than deliver (which could honestly turn into a nightmare especially if it is cake) right before they closed and it was convenient that they were able to contact me through text with updates. Better to pick it up yourself for that peace of mind. Customer service: - As I walked in, my cake was very much ready and the host greeted me with clear instructions of when to keep the cake out before consuming for best quality (instructions also included with the cake). They also wrote a letter that I've asked to be added on the side. Writing on the cake was beautifully done. Letter was nicely written, or typed? Packaging was very secure and cake had no chance of sliding around. Now to the cake itself : - Flavor was absolutely amazing. The lychee and raspberry could not be missed from every bite! It stayed moist and even after days, it was still fragrant and flavorful. - Easy to slice and serve with no mess at all. Each slice off of the cake was clean cut and it stayed pretty. Overall : Highly suggest Butter&! I ordered this cake was for someone else (who is not a huge cake fan but they LOVED it and enjoyed the flavor so much) This cake was cakin' even for its size. Delicious baking by the team at Butter& and I look forward to trying other flavors! I'm getting it for myself this time Thank you for fulfilling our night as well as satisfying our sweet cravings Butter&

Mini 2 tiered strawberry & cream kintsugi marble cake
Jessica H.

My best friend ordered a mini 2-tiered strawberry & cream kintsugi marble cake w/ fresh flowers for her wedding. I can't speak on the ordering process, but I was the contact person for delivery & that process went very smoothly. The day before delivery, I received a text from the bakery with an update/confirmation that the cake would be delivered on the expected date & time. On the day of, I received tracking information & the cake was safely & timely delivered to the restaurant. The cake itself was not too sweet. The strawberry compote/jam in between the layers of vanilla cake was nice & tart and complimented the cream on the exterior. Overall this was a very lovely wedding cake.

Adele K.

I only have the best things to say about Butter&. The sweetest people work at the cutest cake shop in the Dogpatch. The signature cakes are not to be missed and their monthly seasonal flavors are a delicious, creative surprise. I usually stop by for a slice on my way home and have ordered full cakes in the past. They're incredible.

Reviews are largely positive. Cakes stand out for their elegant designs, unique and memorable flavors, and moist, balanced texture. Ordering is easy and communication is clear.

This place seems popular so we tried. The chocolate cake does taste good but it's a bit pricey! Worth for one time try out!

My Baking Creations recently made customized cookies as party favors for a joint birthday…read moreparty/family reunion that my sister and I organized. I wanted our family's name printed on the cookies, but in the style of The Sopranos logo, making it recognizable but not an exact copy. I wasn't sure if I communicated it well in my initial message, but George promptly responded and knew exactly what I meant. I mentioned to George that we would have a lot of balloons at the party. He took that detail and created our own family name logo that was hand-piped beautifully onto every cookie. Throughout the entire ordering experience, both George and Yana were prompt with their responses and really made me feel like this wasn't a business-client relationship - it felt more like we were a team. They understood how important this event was to us and how I wanted every detail in my mind to come to fruition. As someone who has planned her fair share of events, it is such a relief to work with a vendor who understands and can execute your vision. I truly feel like a valued customer, as Yana and George made every effort to ensure that this whole process was at my convenience and to my satisfaction. Even though our cookies were a simple design, our entire family was impressed at the precision and uniformity of their work. Simply put, Yana and George are awesome.

I find it a bit ridiculous that this bakery cannot accommodate a very simple cake request made…read morethree whole weeks in advance and there is no indication to that on the website. If you are not currently taking requests, you can block out the dates on the calendar, so I don't waste time filling out a long form that just cannot be honored.

It took about 20 minutes to get to the front, which wasn't too bad. We had the potato mushroom, caramel apple, pistachio and plain croissants.

The mushroom potato was one of the best savory croissants we have ever had. The Apple croissant tasted like apple pie. There is no seating in the bakery.

Hoping their cake shop eventually finds the right location and wish them continued success in the future.
