    Passionfruit Yuzu, Matcha Strawberry and Lychee Rose
    Anna D.

    Great for a midday or after dinner dessert! I was there around 7:30 today on a Sunday, and they were open until 9. There's seating for maybe 10 people and it's very yellow tiles and cutesy! They have tons of cool merch for sale too. I didn't get a drink today but I want to try the hojicha chai latte next time. Now the cream puffs! They were goooooood - smaller than I expected at first but I'd definitely get them again. My favorite was the rose lychee which was VERY surprising to me because I usually don't like rose. Not too sweet hahaha, subtle rose flavor. The strawberry matcha was exactly that, pretty good, and then the passionfruit was really good except I don't like yuzu but my friend that does really like the little yuzu chewy bits inside.

    Matcha Cookie Croissant and Apple Cider Donut

    Ordered the Matcha Cookie Croissant and Apple Cider Donut. I was extremely impressed by the cookie croissant--can't say I've ever seen another bakery pull this off. It was exactly right level of sweetness I was looking for (which is relatively leaner sweeter than average). The donut was gluten-free among several other items as well. Came into the shop during the last hour so the cream puffs were sold out. Will have to come back! The interior is super duper cute. I would come back just to take photos of the inside alone. The worker was very kind and amiable as well. Accommodating and eager, I would even say.

    This was the most refreshing cream puff I've had especially during this NYC heat. I highly recommend everyone come for a cool refreshing bite of a cream puff at Butter Dose. Their menu of cream puffs range from Ube Coconut to Tiramisu. An extra plus about their menu is that they breakdown, explain each cream puff and what's inside. For example, I ordered a Chocolate Banana which has a caramelized banana on top and banana slice inside mixed with the cream. This was too pretty to eat that I had to snap multiple pics to capture it. Once I took that first messy bite, I was surprised how cool and refreshing it was. I'm aware these need to be refrigerated to keep cool but sometimes it can dull the flavor and taste more like a refrigerated/chilled item. But not Butter Dose, it keeps it that cool level while still maintain that flavorful taste and looks pretty for a mini foodie photoshoot. Also the decor of the space was such a vibrant yellow and chill lounge spot with the various decoration of vacation destination items. As well as books that you can grab and read while eating your sweets or sipping your drink. Do stop by, say hello to the cashier who was very sweet just like the cream puffs they sell because he explained each one to me as well as being patient with me while I was deciding.

    Awhile our gluten-free adventures in Manhattan. We decided to check out a list of spots. Butter Dose 236 E 13th St, New York, NY Heard so much about these gluten-free cream puffs, most of their items were gluten-free. Had to try their crème puffs. That's what we are there for. These crème puffs were bite size. [Looks big from the angle shot] $3.75 each - Black sesame - Mango Sago is good, but it doesn't have that strong mango taste. I also saw they have gluten-free ice cream sandwiches. They were unique in their flavors. I got the matcha cookie with jasmine ice cream. The matcha cookie was good and it also had white chocolate chips. So it wasn't too much of a matcha. It had a slight sweetness to it. Their lemonade drinks weren't too good. The lemonade had no sugar and the mango lemonade was super tart. But overall, the highlight was their black sesame crème puffs.

    We had high hopes for Butterdose, especially with a name that promises rich, buttery pastries--but sadly, it didn't deliver. We tried their cream puffs (Ube and Sriracha Mango) and a croissant, and everything was seriously underwhelming. The Ube puff was barely flavored--so light it bordered on bland. As for the Sriracha Mango, the flavor combo was confusing at best and just didn't work. It felt like a gimmick that didn't go through enough testing. The croissant was the biggest letdown. For a place with "butter" in the name, there was a noticeable lack of it. No flakiness, no rich, indulgent flavor--just dry and forgettable. I've had better croissants from Costco. Overall, it feels like Butterdose is more about aesthetic/social media hype than actual baking quality. We won't be coming back.

    Loved this place, was my first time here and I really enjoy it. The matcha strawberry was yummy, if you're a tea fan get their strawberry oolong tea, I'm craving it now, just think about it. You get the full tea taste and the sweetness from the strawberry. A must try!

    I wish I could start every morning with delicious pastries and baked goods from here! This place is an affordable and local, family-owned pastry cafe in the East Village! They're known for their cream puffs, which come bite-sized and wonderfully crafted into different flavors and toppings! There's a wide assortment of other delicious treats to choose from, including sweet or savory biscuits, cookie croissants and cheesecake, plus all sorts of coffee and matcha drinks to choose from. So tasty!! You can't go wrong treating yourself to something here!

    They have gluten free creme puffs! I ordered an ube coconut, yuzu passionfruit, and goma (black sesame) and ube was my favorite. They start selling creme puffs at 12PM and usually sell out of specific flavors quickly

    1.5/2 Food + Beverages; 0.5/1 Value; 1/1 Ambience; 1/1 Service I came across Butter Dose spontaneously strolling one night around Gramercy in need of a serious pick-me-up. The interior decor is charming and the cafe is spacious-- I imagine it would make a fantastic spot for productive studying or work on a difference occasion. The barista was friendly and enthusiastic in lending his expertise in helping me select my pastry. Although I'm not normally a fan of cream puffs, I am glad that I discovered Butter Dose. The lychee rose flavor was light, well-balanced, not too sweet, and so fragrant! The pastry was light and airy, and the filling was not at all greasy or dense. I also got a matcha latte with skim milk, which was okay, but rather dilute. The cream puffs are on the smaller size for the price, but overall a good value given the overall quality.

    Very cute interior! We came to check this place out on a Saturday afternoon. It was pretty busy but we were able to get seats. We tried the ube and lychee cream puffs. Both were underwhelming honestly. I was not able to taste the flavor and just tasted cream. We also tried the ube cheesecake, which also lacked flavor. However, the matcha crookie was the star of the show. I would come back just for that!

    Cute cafe that serves great coffee and small creme puffs with a lot of flavors. They also have a savory menu with biscuit sandwiches.

    Such a cute place -- loved the bright and sunny color scheme inside, made eating our pastries here a greater delight. Faith behind the counter was just as bright and sunny and did the same! The pastries themselves were wonderful too. We got the rose lychee and tiramisu cream puffs and were instant fans. The rose lychee was especially good -- super light, airy, and refreshing. There was even a little bit of lychee on top for added texture and flavor! Not sure I've ever had cream puffs this unique and tasty. I really wanted to try the black sesame one as well, but the woman in front of me snagged the last one (alas). Yet another reason to come back sometime!

Went to the Flatiron store both times and didn't have to wait long to order. The staff were great and packed all of the little cakes nicely so that they survived the trek back to our condo. Mango--all around favorite, wound up buying like 4 of these cause half my friends preferred it and I liked it a surprising amount Blueberry--very mild, no tartness, not too sweet with good blueberry flavor Orange--fresh and orangey in the middle, loved this one Pear--reminds me of cinnamon apples (I guess this was cinnamon pears), which isn't my favorite flavor but others enjoyed Banana--made me sad cause I LOVE banana flavored stuff and this just... wasn't? It had old tasting banana paste in the middle assuming because it's real banana and not artificial, is tiny, and didn't taste good Yuzu--nice yuzu flavor and disappeared fast Cloud--forgot the actual name and apparently didn't take a picture, it had chocolate/hazelnut mousse with some sort of caramel and something crunchy, also delicious All of the petit gateaus were on the mild side which is a big plus for me. Appearance was top notch and the balance of cream to filling on point. I'd like to try some of the other pastries next time for sure.

Not too sure if I would say it's a must stop at but it's a great choice if you've never had these type of desserts before.

Something with eggs, and meat, and a hot beverage as winter is fast approaching. Anything else would do fine, but the first two were an absolute must. Daily Provisions fulfilled those obligations. Though pricey, and probably why I will not return, they make one tasty breakfast sandwich. It might even outdo Panera! If only I could see how it is made rather than just wrapped and packaged for me, with me assuming they just took a pre-packaged sandwich and heated it up. I really hope they do not do that. The taste of it tells me they do not, but I have to surmise. I also got a hot chocolate, which is super rich. It is not super hot, but if you are not careful you could have an accident on the sidewalk because of the milk they use. Drink it slow and steady. Or pace yourself between sips. Do not let the body recognize this is full of the things that make bowel movements happen. Thankfully, I held my ground. They also sell crullers. I love a good cruller. Choux pastry donuts full of rich flavor, without all the density of an actual donut. This one may be too rich. It is also quite expensive. Nearby Donut Pub does a better job with them. I had to be careful eating this. Being careful and knowing how much it cost to get a breakfast here are what keep it a three star review. However, their offerings will keep you out of the cold and give you strengths on days you need to be picked up.
