Buttercup is a cute little drive thru bakery tucked back on the corner of East Church Street and North Alabama Avenue, about a block from Woodland Blvd. We were greeted by Sailor, the friendly order window attendant with cookie samples. It didn't take much to entice us to select a piece of coconut pineapple cake for later. It was an early afternoon and the window display was well stocked. Buttercup is a small business worth a visit, just bring your sweet tooth! read more

Buttercup Bakery - Storefront and coconut pineapple cake - Bakeries Near Me - Deland, Florida

The bakery goods are amazing here. It is a strange walk up to a window and order set up. To see what they have you look through windows just left of where you place your order. This can be a little difficult depending on the time of day, given the glare from the sun. The service was a bit slow but very friendly. The gooey butter cake was particularly amazing but I would skip the coffee. read more

Great place! Bakery items are delicious. This place is a must stop if you have a sweet tooth!

First time visiting and what a huge disappointment. only got 2 coffees,ordered both with cream and sugar, only got cream in one and the other tastes like old black water, no hazelnut flavor as was ordered. also got a blueberry muffin, was served to us cold! I understand if it was refrigerated, but at least warm it to serve. very expensive for a very bad experience. ​ read more

Went there today, it did not have vegan anything. So this listing is inaccurate. They had gluten-free but no vegan. The birds, however, that cluster around this place are interesting and worth a stop. read more

Amazing customer service.....the lady working the counter was very pleasant and helpful. It was my first visit to Buttercup Bakery and she prepared a couple samples to help me decide what to order. The cake was delicious!! read more

I go here at least few times a month. I have ordered lunch items, coffee, teas and of course THE BAKED GOODS. I cannot express how fresh and tasty everything always is. My kids love this place and sometimes I get things for my employees and friends. Very friendly owner and staff and service is always on a 5 star level. I love coming here it's such a cute little place where you can sit on a little bench or at the table and enjoy you can also birds around you while you take a bite of delicious fresh cake or a scone. If you have it been here you should definitely try it! You can also use drive thru if you don't feel like getting out of the car. read more

This is the best place ever for ALL the yummy desserts! We LOVE their Kentucky Butter Cake and everything else they do! Butter up Bakery is the FIRST place we visit when arriving in Deland to visit family. read more

Excellent pastries and selection. Been there many times and still not tried everything. The service is excellent as well.

Superb cakes and sweets created with skill, flair and love. Drool over choices in her front window. Stop by for lunch plus a delectable sweet dessert. Order in advance and pick up at the drive-up window. This is my go-to place for fancy desserts and birthday cakes. I've never been disappointed. read more

Yummy baked goods! Special ordered a birthday cake that came out amazing! Baker was so helpful with coming up with the perfect design!

Really sweet little dessert spot. We tried a lemon bar and Kentucky butter cake and WOW everything was so decadent

I stopped by while in downtown DeLand recently. What a treat! They have a menu that is updated by the minute. While I was sitting there eating my scone I saw works move in and out to update the board. It seems that their cupcakes are very popular as are their iced teas. I enjoyed a blueberry scone and hibiscus tea - both were delicious. The outdoor seating is very cute and can provide a nice view away from the chaos of the main road. I'll be stopping by again the next time I'm in town. read more

I had the strawberry shortcake. The whipped cream was fresh from scratch, the strawberries were soaked with plenty of juice with homemade cake! It's like stepping into a scene from a Hallmark movie. It's a great place to ride your bike to and enjoy a treat. The service is welcoming and the sights are relaxing. Must try!! read more

Luv this cute bakery. Good spot near a lake and park. You can't go inside but some outdoor seating. There is also a drive-in. Huge selection of sweets and bake goods. Good coffee. They just don't have an espresso machine But they make up with that smile, service and yummy bake goods. WATNING: LOTS OF BIRDS HANG AROUND THERE. DON'T FEED THEM OR ELSE read more

Super cute bakery, just like you would expect with a name like Buttercup. There is a walk up window with a full display of sweet delights. Wow! Hard to choose and most likely will come back one more time before I leave. Thoroughly enjoyed the Lemon Kentucky Butter cake on the front patio with a cup of regular Colombian coffee. I was shocked to see how busy the drive up window is on a Tuesday afternoon! Off the beaten path of the main drag, but worth every delicious bite! read more

Such a cute quaint little bakery shop! You order at the outside walk-up window or drive-thru. They have teas, coffees, sandwiches & a beautiful assortment of desserts. I asked & this building was built specially as a bakery & the owners have been in business 16 years. We got the Kentucky Butter Cake & so far it is too cold to eat, the icing is sort of hard. Going to let it acclimate to room temperature before trying again. Pricey for a standard slice cut $6.25 + tax. But will still return to try out the different bars. Tons of ducks waddling around here. And a nice little pond out back. Girl who works there was very sweet & helpful (sorry didn't get her name). read more

Buttercup Bakery - Back area - Bakeries Near Me - Deland, Florida

I. Love. Cake. And this cake was delicious, buttery, rich, heavy, cool...yum. Folks were really nice. I loved the cute box and silver forks. Super, SUPER pricey, but worth an occasional treat. Because this cake sweats, eat it all the same day you buy it. I'm not sure if it's the butter, sugar or what in the batter, but it gets wetter by the day and ultimately becomes saturated. Bird lover alert: They are located right in front of the coolest pond FULL of HUNDREDS of ducks and birds. Don't step in poop! Lol! read more

Such a cute little bakery! Really delicious treats here. No indoor dining, but some cute tables outside in the front. Watch out for the ducks though Cupcakes, cake, brownies, etc. have all been great! Favorite thing I've ever had here are the blondies. read more

a little short on the phone, not responsive to messages. If you can't do it, just say so!

We have a Celiac in the family and Gluten free(GF) cakes can be hard to find and really good GF cakes even harder. Buttercup bakery does excellent GF cakes and their icing is delicious. So far we've had GF Chocolate and GF Red Velvet cakes and both were moist, delicious, not grainy, and they held together well. That's about as good as it gets with Gluten free cakes. But as good as the cakes are the thing that I really like is the very helpful and friendly people that work there. I feel their caring for their customers and they work hard to make getting a cake as easy as possible for the customer. Buttercup Bakery is now our go to Bakery. Good job Ladies. read more

The lemon bar here is a one million out of 10. It is buttery, salty, sweet, and a little tangy. I give it a four because we haven't had anything else and the three times we have went the service has been a little stale. Not bad, just not really friendly. read more

Do yourself a favor and get a treat from this cute establishment. Plenty of ducks to keep you company while you enjoy your dessert. Also the staff was super quick and nice even though I got there basically as they opened lol. I'll definitely be returning again... and again. read more

Buttercup Bakery - Rocky road brownie and the amazing Kentucky butter cake. Try it, asap. - Bakeries Near Me - Deland, Florida

We went yesterday to pick up a cake. The staff was extremely rude and snobby. They asked if I could afford and pay for the cake. The cake was extremely sweet and mushy from the simple syrup it was drenched in. Would NOT recommend to anyone. read more

Great service. Lots of great items and super good. Drive thru window and outside seating are a plus. There's also a nice park across the street to enjoy your coffee and baked goods read more

Buttercup Bakery - This little box contains a slice of pure heaven!!! Kentucky Butter Cake - Bakeries Near Me - Deland, Florida

Holy Cannoli! I cannot get over the slice of heaven I ate from the Buttercup Bakery the other day that came in the form of Kentucky Butter Cake. While the prices are a bit on the high side this is one of those instances where you should just hand over your money and enjoy as there will be no buyer's remorse here. The decor is unbelievably adorable if you're into that sort of thing and if you're on the go or simply just don't want to leave your car you can always order from the drive-thru! read more

Pricy but worth every penny! We got a whole Kentucky Butter cake, a lemon bar and a pecan bar. Everything was beyond delicious. The cake was the star of our party! read more

I received cupcakes from here for my birthday this past weekend. AMAZING!!!! Even just the plain ole vanilla cupcakes have a kick! And not to mention the chocolate pearls on top of the frosting that reminded me of the "Sixlets" chocolate candy I grew up with... I will personally be going there to check out what else they have!!!! read more

Today is my great-grandmother's 98th birthday and she has been a resident of Deland since the 1920's. She is a special lady to my family and to Deland. Her late husband donated the land to the Plymouth Avenue Christian Church. Although I couldn't afford to travel across the country to visit with her on her special day, I was able to help make her feel special by having a custom cake delivered to her front door at a designated time. I owe this to BUTTERCUP BAKERY OF DELAND, FL. I have nothing but GOOD THINGS to say about the CUSTOMER SERVICE and PROFSSIONALISM of this slice of heaven located in central Florida. I'm so grateful they worked with me remotely, took payment over the phone, and even sent me an update with a photo of the cake when it was delivered. I described the cake I wanted, which was Chocolate Fudge with a caramel filling to mimic her favorite candy, Rolos. However, I wanted the cake to be decorated really pretty for an elderly lady on her springtime birthday. So, the cake was decorated in pink and white with pink frosting flowers. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to try the cake out myself but I heard it was good. I have never been to the Buttercup Bakery in person and I'm not exactly sure how to invision what other reviewers are talking about when they describe the goods being strangely stored behind glass. *If the reviewers are talking about baked goods*, I can tell you from my experience as a customer of bakeries and restaurants and as a former cheesecake toppings "topper girl" at Copeland's The Cheesecake Bistro and a former Head Wait at a ski resort, I have never seen desserts displayed to the public that were NOT behind glass or in acrylic cases. Would you eat at a buffet that didn't have a sneeze guard? It's illegal not to have a sneeze guard or goods properly stored. read more

I love this place. Yes the seating isn't ideal but it is delicious. As for the pricing considering it is all freshly handmade and completely delicious, i think it is a fair price. The feta pasta salad had my taste buds singing one day. As for their baked good; amazing is all I have to say. I absolutely love their chai tea, so spicy and perfect with anything I get from there. I come back as often as my college student dwindling bank account will let me. It's a real treat when I make it here and as long as I go to Stetson I will be stopping here as often as I can. Amazing. read more

I've been to Buttercup Bakery many times since it's been open, and I love this place. It's cute as a button - a cutesy yellow cottage-like structure with eclectic seating (there's even a carousel horse behind the establishment). The fresh baked goods are displayed on the counter behind a glass window, and lunch items are written on a large whiteboard next to the order window. Directly adjacent to the bakery is Sunflower Park, where you can take your recently purchased food items and enjoy yourself a nice little picnic. The baked items are awesome - best cookies, cakes, quiches, brownies, doesn't matter what it is, be assured that it's good. Also, there's a drive-thru - a CLASSY drive-thru. However, there are a few things that keep me from giving this bakery five stars. First of all, if it's hot, plan to bring your food to an air-conditioned car. ALL of the seating is outdoors, though the tables have umbrellas. Normally, a restaurant's layout doesn't bother me if it's pre-existing structure, but the bakery BUILT the establishment in this way. Also, their prices are quite high - $4.25 for a scone and a strawberry shortcake is over $7. One reason for this is because they're a bakery that doesn't earn their income on bread, like most bakeries - just desserts and lunch. Don't let these things deter you from Buttercup Bakery! It's a lot of fun, and the food is great. The atmosphere is perfect for an informal date or get-together in the park, and it's very convenient for the Stetson folks. read more

This place has super cute cupcakes and gourmet dessert items. The prices are good, a little higher than a grocery store, but there are no freaky artificial ingredients in their desserts, just the real stuff: butter, milk, cream, sugar, etc. I think the building is so cute and I love Deland. If you are visiting the area try it out, great sweets and lunch. I think the drive through idea is great considering how hot it is outside. I love local bakeries like this! read more

Beware you may become addicted to everything here this place is on a side street and you may not know it's here unless someone mentions it to you but once you discover it you will never need your GPS again to return. I think they add some kind of secret ingredients to keep you coming back it's all good here. :-) read more
