I ordered a latte and the Mini Salami & Cornichon, a bite-sized sandwich with fennel salami and cornichons on a brioche bun. It was simple but absolutely delicious and really hit the spot.

My husband and I decided to try for a table and we ended up waiting about 45 min - 1 hour to sit. There was a super short line for to-go pastries (and sometimes there was no line), so if you're pressed for time, definitely do that! I love how the Arome workers help move the line along and help people in line find tables. Also speaking of Arome, the AROMA was fantastic! It smelled to buttery and fantastic both inside and while waiting in line. I ended up trying: the iconic Honey Butter Toast, Black Sesame Mochi Cookie, and Almond and Chocolate Croissant, a Savory Croissant (I think Sausage and Cheese), a Chai, and a Matcha. Everything was SO GOOD. All the pastries were amazing. I'm glad we got a mix of sweet and savory things. Everything we had was buttery, flaky, intentional, and made with love. What you'll like the most will depend on your personal flavor preferences! Definitely give this place a try!

This was hands down, my best fast breakfast during my trip in England! Stumbled onto this lovely…read morecoffee pastry shop before heading to watch the changing of guards at the Buckingham Palace, so wanted to get a quick meal before diving into the crowds. The barista and coffee shop staff were so patient and nice - especially when I inquired about ingredients in the pastries and asked to have my Spinach Ricotta Roll heated. Overall it was a great experience - good food, good coffee, and exceptional service. Food-wise: we got a spinach ricotta roll and a custard croissant - and loved both. The spinach ricotta roll was a perfect combination of your comfort hot breakfast with egg + spinach + cheese, plus the flaky buttery outer-layer of a croissant. There was also a bit of spicy kick to it - which I loved! Remember to ask for it to be heated. The custard-filled croissant was also heavenly creamy, with the buttery outer-layer of a croissant, this can be enjoyed at room temperature. Drink-wise: we got a Americano and a flatwhite, which were both really good and hot - definitely woke us up for the early morning / jetlag, which helped prep us for day! They also had some nice tables inside the coffee shop to sit and enjoy your food - so it's also a great place to bring your laptops to. Overall - nothing helps more to start a great morning like a great breakfast, and I think this place had the magic that turned our cloudy morning into a great sunny day - would definitely revisit when I'm back in the UK!

We picked our breakfast items & coffees, then bought more items to stuff in our pockets/bags for later. Pocket bread, as we so lovingly referred to it, was second breakfast & lunch. A glorious stop. The coffee was thick, creamy, and silky smooth. The quiche sang on the tastebuds. Light, fltaky-tender croissants & moist, savory scones - absolutely divine.

I chose to dine in, and got the sausage roll - however, they were unable to heat it up for me which was a bit of a disappointment.

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.
