My first time trying the cinnamon social, and it's one of my new favorite breakfast pastries! I'm…read moreusually not a fan of cinnamon flavored things, and I especially never found the cinnamon roll or cardamom bun particularly delicious, but I loved what Ole & Steen did to change the taste. Instead of a bun or roll, the social is more of a buttery brioche-like bread with custard that gets baked in, and I personally love custard (although this may not be for you if you do not like custard in your pastries)! It is probably not an authentic Danish pastry, but I think it does the job well!

Ole and Steen can be found all over, but this one was really spacious and modern looking. There was a significant line around 1 PM on Saturday, and lots of the seating was taken up. However, there's an upstairs and a downstairs to try if the first floor is busy. I got the avocado toast with 2 poached eggs and salmon and absolutely loved it! It was a hearty serving of both avocado and salmon and was totally filling. Toast had chili flakes and various seeds sprinkled on which I appreciated and made it feel a little fancier than usual. My Americano was great and was made quick while I waited for the toast. They serve samples (and plenty of them) at that, so you've got something to look forward to while waiting.

Cinnamon Bun: A lot more strands than a typical cinnamon bun. Not as gooey, but had it's own unique flaky texture going on. Cardamom Bun: Very unique. Not sure I've ever had anything like this. Instead of the standard cinnamon, they had warming cardamom. Found this really delicious. Carrot Cake: A comfort standard. Lots of great creamy frosting. And nicely spiced cake.

This is some of the best coffee I've had in 6 months or more. Bear in mind, I'm from Portland,…read moreOregon -- one of the coffee capitals of the world. We're quite proud of our coffee scene, and Butter Bakery could beat out most of the options in Portland. I had an oat milk latte and an americano, plus a few food items. Let's start with the americano. Now, I'll admit, I'm not the most skilled barista. I have some sense of how to pull a shot of espresso, but I'm not brilliant at it. With that as context: I do not exaggerate when I say there was more of that delicious creamy head on the americano than I've managed on some straight shots I've pulled. The espresso roast was subtle and sweet -- I waited too long to write this review, so I couldn't cite precise notes, but this is definitely a roast I could enjoy sipping on and slowly analyzing, while still being very approachable. The americano was perhaps a tiny hair more diluted than I would have liked, but it didn't quite reach "watery" either. I choose to see this as a deliberate choice to further open up the profile of the espresso. The oat latte was expertly foamed, with the right amount of oat milk so as not to overwhelm the espresso. It was on the dry side, almost a cappuccino, which is exactly what I prefer in a latte (if I wanted a cortado, I'd ask for a cortado). I don't know which oat milk they use, but it was sweet and creamy and simple and complemented the espresso beautifully. There's also a food menu that, while not hugely extensive, is packed full of gems. I very much enjoyed the pesto mozzarella tomato panini with extremely its fresh ingredients. It's about the size you'd expect for a cafe panini, and thus a bit more expensive than I'm comfortable with, but I'll chalk that up to the location -- compared with other local options, Butter Bakery Bar and Cafe is absolutely a contender for a budget lunch. Lastly, I'll just mention: I did not try the Mediterranean mains options, so I can't speak to their quality, but seeing things like mezze on a cafe menu is a nice change of pace.
