Chocolate peanut butter Pop-Tart - deep chocolatey flavor with crunchy peanuts
Laura G.

Picked up one of their treats from Farmshop Bakery in Buffalo and had to share because they absolutely nailed the infamous Pop-Tart. I tried the Buffalo Sabres edition, a chocolate peanut butter filling topped with blue and yellow sprinkles - and it was so good. The pastry was perfectly buttery, flaky, and rich without feeling too heavy, while the filling was next level: deep chocolate packed with peanut pieces for the perfect crunch and salty-sweet balance. It somehow felt both indulgent and comforting at the same time. I could easily eat these every weekend and feel zero guilt - life is too short not to enjoy the good stuff. Here for all the gold and blue treats in honor of the Sabres!

I don't regret stopping in here on Sunday! The bakery has a small seating area which was quite busy. There was a line about 10 deep which went pretty fast. Everybody was working very hard. Everything looks amazing! I ordered a bunch of different treats to try and nothing disappointed! I highly recommend!

Brownie

The desserts are very good and I enjoyed them, but I dont know if I chose the best of what they have available. I wasn't blown away but I did enjoy most of the items we bought. The croissant was flaky, buttery and was filled with hazelnut chocolate cream and topped with hazelnuts. Every bite was delicious. The macaroon looked amazing but I found it to be a little dry. I was expecting the middle to be a little more "sticky" I guess. The pop tarts were good. They are more like a hand pie with a buttery style pie crust. The almond raspberry tasted like a shortbread almond cookie that I make for Christmas. The brownie was chewy in the middle and dry on the outside like a corner piece of a brownie. I'd have to say overall it was very good.

My favorite bakery in buffalo! I always get the chocolate croissant, because it's perfection, but everything that they have is delicious. Plan to wait a little bit, but the line moves quickly and it's worth it!

This may have been THE BEST almond croissant I've ever had, and I've had a lot of them! I stopped by on a Saturday morning because I've heard this was the place for pastries. The moment you drove by, you could smell the butter wafting in the air. The display was incredible, and I may have gotten more than I should have ^^" Usually when I get almond croissants, there's space between the top and bottom layers because the filling is sparse. This croissant had ample, even filling all the way through, and made for a very nice eating experience. I also got the plain croissant, the morning bun, and the pesto/tomato danish. Laminations were on point and the butter was definitely there! I also got the eclair, which had good structure and a beautiful custard cream on the inside. The brownie and the cookie were also amazing!! I'm going to recommend this place to anyone I know who's heading to Buffalo :) Also, I came back to try the matcha: probably one of the best matchas I've had in WNY, would go out of the way to get it!

I can not bake and that's okay because butter block can! Pre ordered for holidays. Ordering was easy online. Although there were long lines for pick up, they have a system down pact and runs very smoothly, the staff is always so nice and helpful as well. As always everything was tasty, the pop tarts are just amazing, as well as the croissant. The stand out for me, I ordered something different and it was absolutely amazing, I hope it's not just an holiday ordered becauseI could eat this every day, the Gateau Basque!!! It was like a delicious pound cake with a vanilla like filling it best I can describe it, whatever it is, it was amazing!

Homemade pop tarts

You HAVE to try their homemade pop tarts. Absolutely delicious! The pastry was flaky and delicious. Not too sweet but sweet enough for a special treat for breakfast.

Stopped by Butter Block to grab a few pastries for later, and everything in the case looked amazing. I ended up choosing a savory tart, a hazelnut croissant, and a chocolate croissant. The counter staff were super helpful and friendly, which made the experience even better. Each pastry was excellent--flaky, rich, and full of flavor--but the savory tart was the standout for me. Easily one of the best I've had. This spot is definitely worth a visit.

Yummy pastries! homemade poptarts. was never a fan of poptarts but these are amazing. eclair is to die for.

Their case!

When you think legendary pastries you may not think of Buffalo, NY, but this shop, buried in a seemingly residential area has the best pastries I've ever had. The bakery is immaculate, feels very French.m but not pretentious at all. Be prepared for a line but it goes super super fast. We ordered an almond croissant, a bacon bow tie, homemade pop tarts, kouign amann (which I had never heard of) and a ham and cheese croissant. The bacon bow tie was a perfect sweet and savoy combo with really crispy bacon, hint of maple syrup on a perfect croissant twist. (Not pictured because it was eaten so fast) The pop tarts were also delicious and really are just super bougie pop tarts you had growing up. The almond croissants were perfect. The big hit for me was the ham and cheese croissant. This had made it into the top-5 foods (not just pastries) I've ever had in my life. This thing was ridiculous, if we lived anywhere near it we would be there with an alarming frequency. This place is a gem. Get there and give it a try!

Croissants and the morning bun!
Brielynn B.

Where do I begin? I mean... if you like breakfast items, just go here. The croissants are flaky and melt in your mouth. The morning buns have a delicious amount of sugar coating the exterior, and every bite has a soft crunch of pure love. The homemade pop tarts are made with seasonal ingredients, so you're always getting something fresh and homemade. In the summer when I stop by their booth at the farmers market, I always buy treats to last us the whole weekend. Heads up, you should totally expect to wait in line when you arrive... I promise it's worth it!

Stone fruit, danish of the day

We were not anywhere in the area of this bakery, but, as we were having dinner and talking to complete strangers, they recommended this business to us. So we decided what the hell we are on vacation and have nothing else to do. Except drive to Indianapolis. So we drove a half hour out of our way And boy was it worth it! The pastries were out of this world delicious. The staff was super friendly, and the bakery looked lovely inside. This is definitely a five star bakery. If I am ever in Buffalo again, I am certainly going here again.

A well deserved 5 stars. A review from a Canadian here. For my Torontonians, if you love Nadege almond croissants, then you'll love the ones from Butter Block even more. Conveniently located just 7 mins away from the Peace Bridge boarder, I've had my eyes on Butter Block for a long time. We arrived on a Friday morning and they were well stocked. I decided to get the following: Almond croissant Morning bun Chocolate chip cookie Bread pudding Smores poptart Everything was BOMB. I think my favourite thing was the morning bun. Almond croissants- sooo buttery and without that artificial almond paste taste. Almond paste filling was light and well distributed. One of the best almond croissants I've ever had. And I've had a lot! Morning bun - Think a cronut meets a cinnamon bun. The pastry was so soft and buttery but it also had that cinnamon sugar in between. It's a delicious pastry. S'mores Poptart -Ok I keep calling this a s'mores poptart and I'm not 100% sure this is what it is. Either way, it was still good lol. Their pastry is just so buttery and flakey. The real poptart could nevvver. Not too sweet at all. I assume the filling was supposed to be the chocolate part of the s'mores but again it wasn't really giving me that flavour. Chocolate chip cookie - this was perfect except for all the flakey salt on top. That's just personal preference. I don't like my chocolate chip cookies topped with salt. Aside from that, it was the perfect texture and tasted even better when warmed up. Bread pudding - this thing was like 2 pounds lol. It was sooo heavy but sooo delicious. It's literally bread pudding in a muffin form. It was so moist even 2 days later, when I devoured the rest of it. Customer service was fast and friendly. There are a few seats inside and I love that they offer complimentary lemon water. Butter Block has made it to the list of must visits whenever I cross the boarder!

See all

Just as I was about to go in the place must have caught fire. Yikes! A man was leaving the bakery with as many loaves of bread as he could carry. I investigated. Sure enough, the store was filled with firemen. I couldn't get in. It turns out the firemen were buying a lot of baked goods. Whew! And the guy carrying all the loaves of bread was a caterer. He bought 50 loaves of Luigi's delicious bread. He explained he was catering a 50th wedding anniversary, and the celebrants wanted a loaf of Luigi's bread for each of their 50 years. I'm not kidding! I bought only 4 loves of bread. They were out of my favorite - sesame seeded Italian so I had to go with plain. They have a trick with their bread. They don't use preservatives, so you have to eat it within 2 days and then go back for more. It's a trap! They were out of almond and poppy seed strudel thingys, so I settled for apple, blueberry and cherry. I tried the lemon cake and it's great. But my favorite thing was the almond cake. Absolutely dreamy. It didn't make it home because I stopped at a friend's house on the way home to share some. All I got was just one slice. And I ate that before I had a chance to take its picture.

The Hello Dollies were absolutely delicious those were a definite highlight. Unfortunately, the cupcakes weren't what I was hoping for. I can't pinpoint exactly what was missing, but the flavors just didn't stand out to me the way I expected. I did try to ask a few questions about wedding tastings while I was there, but the worker helping me didn't seem very enthusiastic or willing to offer much guidance. Since this is such an important part of planning my wedding, that part of the experience felt a bit disappointing. Overall, while I was really rooting for this to be "the place" especially since it's a big and popular bakery I don't feel confident moving forward with them for my wedding desserts. I truly wanted to love everything, but the tasting just didn't click for me.

From the mini cakes, custom cakes, and cupcakes, you can NOT go wrong. My go to is the killer chocolate cupcake. The ambiance is a cross between your grandma's living room and a neighborhood cafe. There's breads, coffees, specialty drinks, cakes, cookies, pastries, and to go cakes. The service ranges from stellar to ok. On average, pretty good. I've never been disappointed with my treats and I'm a bit of a bake good snob as I'm a home baker myself. I live no where near here and don't mind a drive here for a great treat to self indulge or to share. Check them out!

Cuccidati Inc. had a booth at the event ... and they had me at the word "cuccidati". :-D LOVE these cookies! If you are unfamiliar, cuccidati are iced-and-sprinkled fig-filled Italian cookies. They're like a soft, delectable, gourmet, top-shelf, high-class, prettier Fig Newton, but way better, haha. Whenever I see an Italian cookie spread at a gathering, I always b-line for dibbs on the cuccidati. And Cuccidati Inc.'s cuccidati did not disappoint! These were a bit different from cuccidati I've had before. They weren't quite as sweet, not as thick-white of an icing as usual. And the filling seemed more natural, like more purely fig, as opposed to the more artificial extract flavor of some cuccidati. I do like the creamier cuccidati filling I'm used to, with more of a jam consistency. But these were good too, you could feel chewy bits of real fig fruit in each bite. If you prefer a cookie that isn't too rattle-your-teeth-sweet, you will probably enjoy Cuccidati Inc.'s cookies very much. We spoke with the owners when we were at the fresh-air market, and they were very sweet and friendly. They of course bake their namesake, but also bake many other cookies too. They don't have their own storefront, they sell by order, or at local venues and events. They are on the shelves at Buffalo Artisan Food Traders (https://www.yelp.com/biz/buffalo-artisan-food-traders-buffalo), so if you have a hankering for some delicious cuccidati, stop by there to grab a pack. Or check Cuccidati Inc.'s Facebook page for other upcoming local appearances - https://www.facebook.com/cuccidati.org - and mangia! :-D
