Amazing place! Very disability-friendly and accommodating when you explain your situation. Lauren was incredibly thoughtful, compassionate, and helpful. She went above and beyond by making an exception for my father, and we truly appreciated her kindness and excellent customer service. I appreciate places that truly advocate for disabled people. read more

Sweet Butter Kitchen - Bakeries Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Every Sunday, my wife and I go breakfast hunting. Usually, our breakfast adventures take us toward the ocean, but for the past three weeks, we've been exploring the Valley. We had been to Claudine, which is very good, although the dining room can be quite loud. We also tried Blu Jam Cafe, which was just okay. Big isn't necessarily better! We visited a few other places along the way that probably don't deserve a mention. Today, we discovered Sweet Butter Kitchen, and what a pleasant surprise! We were lucky enough to find parking quickly, which is always a great way to start a breakfast adventure. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a very cute, cozy dining room that was beautifully decorated for Halloween. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and relaxed. My wife ordered her usual avocado toast. It was very good, although we still think Claudine has the best avocado toast. I ordered a breakfast sandwich, and it was excellent. We also tried the chips, which tasted homemade and were absolutely delicious. While we were having breakfast, I watched plate after plate of pancakes marching past our table. They looked fantastic! I already know what I'm ordering next time: the pancake combo. But one thing that really stood out at Sweet Butter Kitchen was the service. The young lady at the front was incredibly sweet and welcoming, and every staff member we encountered was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Sweet Butter Kitchen is definitely a must-try. I can't wait for next Sunday so I can bring my son and introduce him to some serious, heavy-duty breakfast! Until then ....the pancake combo is calling my name. read more

A really nice brunch option up in the valley. They have a real unique menu with really solid flavors and the environment is the sort of place that's fun to have a meal with friends, family, or a date. Our server was very polite and even though they don't have a dedicated parking lot, we were able to find a street spot a half a block away. Inside is pretty large, and they also have outdoor seating, which is where we chose to eat. Everything that we ordered came out surprisingly fast, and service in general was very good. We started off with one of the homemade Pop Tarts, which was really terrific. The inside had strawberry jam, which was my favorite part. For brunch, I chose the Croque Madame and really enjoyed it. The portion size was generous, and the egg was cooked perfectly and overall I really enjoyed it. I would highly recommend both items and would definitely stop in again next time I'm up in the valley. read more

It's a little deceiving from the street. It's an order at the counter and the food will be delivered to the table. When you walk in, it's like a garden - so cute! We stood there not knowing exactly where to go, and then realized that we needed to enter through a door to the left. It's such a cute little store - that sells food, desserts and coffee. I hate to say this - the guy taking my order seemed a little dirty. We ordered a cappuccino and it was perfect! The blueberry cheesecake was yummy as well. read more

I love their Matcha as well as their food and desserts. It does get extremely busy here, but they do their best to get through the lines. Prices are a bit high, but the portions are generous, and the quality is worth it. They have plenty of outdoor seating as well as metered parking. Great option if you are looking for a casual breakfast in the area! read more

Stopped by again as this place is always one of my go tos! Service wasn't quite as impressive as usual, maybe bc it was a weekend morning so they were busy but they were certainly less attentive. We sat down at a pretty dirty table after ordering inside and it took a while for someone to come and clean the table off. It also took a WHILE for our food to come out. It feels like we waited forever! Don't recommend coming if you need a quick meal or have a tight schedule to stick to. My friend got the poached eggs & fine herbes toast. I got the Chinese chicken salad. And my bf got the steak & eggs. Poached eggs were good, comes with a large quantity of arugula. The Chinese chicken salad wasn't quite as good as I remembered it to be last time. The chicken had kind of a weird creamy texture. My bf liked the steak & eggs, the chimichurri sauce over it was nice. Still a good go to in the valley but a bit of a miss this time! I'll probably be less inclined to go here when it's a weekend morning given how busy it can get. read more

First of all, gorgeous "inside" and overall decor! Nothing but street parking and boy was it busy over the weekend. We walked a few blocks down just for parking. They have a very tiny spot though. You have to go inside to their gift shop/coffee area to order and then they give you a "food name" as your order "number" which is honestly really cute because the hostess just randomly yells out HIBISCUS if you have that name card lol! Food took about 30 minutes for takeout and we enjoyed it at home. My mom liked her omelette and my bf liked his turkey sandwich. I didn't have much of an appetite so I just had the two egg breakfast scrambled with apple smoked sausages. Pretty good but would love to try their other food next time I'm hungrier lol.

Sweet Butter Kitchen truly feels like stepping into a hidden European café. The interior features a charming alleyway with twinkling lights, mock windows, and lush plants that make you feel like you've been transported to Paris. My friend and I stopped in briefly to share a dessert, but everything--from the sandwiches and quiches to the prepared treats--looked incredible. The nice man inside was helpful and kind. It's such a quaint, cozy spot that's perfect for a date or catching up with a friend. I'm already planning to come back earlier next time for coffee and a full lunch! read more

Cute cafe in the area, they have a nice indoor dining area (not air conditioned) and also a lot of outdoor seating. Downside is you have to find street parking and for breakfast you'll need to park by the residential streets. Went here for a business meeting on a Monday morning so we probably stayed for over 2 hours. This was my 2nd time here and I swear I thought I wrote a review for this place already. That said for this visit I ordered croque madame. My bosses ordered their usual and I tried the pancake... wow I loved the pancake. Not sure what makes it decadent but I've had many pancakes in different places but this is the best, without any butter or syrup it is very good. And the right texture and thickness for me. As far as the croque madame, the gruyère cheese was sooo creamy and the whole dish is just yummy! The greens break the richness of the sandwich. Definitely recommend if you want to eat something French to match the Parisian style interiors. read more

Sweet Butter has one of my favorite matcha drinks. The iced pistachio matcha is tasty, sweet and slightly salty. Topped with pistachio cold foam and some pistachio nuts. It is fairly small inside and kind of confusing where to order. The service was alright, could've been a bit more friendly and welcoming but it also could've just been one of those days for the workers which I can understand. I definitely plan on stopping by again and trying some more items on the menu! read more

This review is for the coffee only. I haven't tried the food. I'd go back again and again just for their einspanner. The pistachio matcha was just as good. I'm glad I skipped the hot latte this time and discovered their iced options instead; that mocha, rich and chocolatey, felt like a total treat. Parking on a Sunday afternoon wasn't too bad, though you'll likely have a short walk to the spot. The ambiance was busy and lively, with people enjoying both the beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces. read more

I've driven by Sweet Butter Kitchen 1,000 times in my many traverses on Ventura Blvd. when I lived here. It was always busy, but never caught my attention. Today meeting with contractors and subcontractors one of these important people needed to outline what I had to do. Instead of standing on a roof, he said let's talk over lunch; meet me at Sweet Butter. And I did! I had a terrific egg salad sandwich with a heaping handful of dressed arugula. It was pretty damn good. Not only was it good, but this place was the busiest place (at the time) on Ventura Blvd. The system they have working here is spot on and the delivery of your order is super fast. And, yes, I liked Sweet Butter kitchen enough, that I will definitely be back. read more

Sweet Butter is, without question, my favorite place in Los Angeles. If Nora Ephron were still with us, I am convinced this would be her world. It feels like the setting of a perfect romantic comedy, the kind of place where people accidentally fall in love over coffee, old friends reconnect, and writers fill notebooks on sunny afternoons. The moment you walk through the garden gates, the city seems to disappear. The outdoor patio is beautiful year-round, with twinkling lights, mature trees, and an atmosphere that feels both elegant and completely relaxed. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, the bakery case is impossible to resist, and the market is filled with thoughtful finds that make every visit feel special. Whether you're meeting friends for brunch, having a business meeting, or simply enjoying a quiet morning, Sweet Butter has a way of making ordinary moments feel memorable. And if you are an east coast transplant like me, you will see a lot of friends here. What I love most is that it has heart. It's charming without trying too hard, stylish without being trendy, and welcoming to everyone who walks through the door. The owner dresses the place up every season and holiday and has a collection of amazing gifts to purchase from books to chotkes. It's a magical place and the entire menu is literally all good. It's a can't miss. It does have a rush lunch crowd from about noon to 230 pm so plan ahead for street parking as they don't take reservations. They do move food pretty quickly however. Personal faves: Kale salad, Cobb salad, any breakfast items and anything from the pastry cabinet. Fresh towering birthday style cakes. Amazing drink selection. My favorite place in Los Angeles, and one that never loses its magic. read more

Sweet Butter is a cute little cafe on Ventura Blvd. that serves breakfas, lunch, and a variety of pastries/cakes. They have a pretty extensive selection of items, ranging from pancakes, waffles, eggs, sandwiches, salads and more. The patio is lovely with many tables, but you can also sit in the inside area like my son and I did. We placed our order with Abel who was very kind, approachable, and patient. Molly also helped me on deciding which quiche I wanted since I wanted something eggy and they only served Eggs Benedict on weekends, which is what I was really in the mood for. We sat down and waited for our food which came within 10 minutes. It was around 4pm on a Tuesday and the place was pretty dead, but don't let that fool you. This place gets PACKED and it can be a long wait for a table. I ordered a Decaf Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk ($5.95 and +$0.95 ea for the vanilla syrup and oat milk) and a piece of Cinnamon Bread Pudding ($7.75). For my main entree, I decided on the Italian Tuna Sandwich ($19.50) but subbed Sourdough in place of the Ciabatta. It came with Red Onion, Parsley, White Beans dressed with Our Vinaigrette & just a touch of Mayo with Kalamata Olive Tapenade, Arugula & Roasted Cherry Tomatoes. My son ordered the Grilled Veggie Salad $18.95 +$8.00 for chicken) which came with With Laura Chenel Goat Cheese, Mixed Greens, Asparagus, Corn, Zucchini, Cherry Tomatoes & Avocado with Dijon Vinaigrette and we got a slice of Bacon-Cheddar-Asparagus Quiche to share ($12.95). The quiche came with a side of undressed mixed greens and I opted for shoestring fries with my sandwich. Everything tasted great and we pretty much cleared every crumb off of our plates! The place was clean and so were the bathrooms. Unfortunately they dont have any parking but there are some metered spots around. We were lucky to find some residential parking for 2 hours. Make sure you check the signs. t's been several years since I was last here but it's an enjoyable place to be. It was a nice outing with some good food, nice ambience, and lovely jazz music playing through the speakers. There's something for everyone here. Thank you Abel and Molly. We'll hopefully be back soon again. read more

Overall, we had a good experience. The food was tasty, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The French toast was definitely the highlight of the meal. That said, I don't think it lived up to the hype or the price. Our bill came out to $78, which felt pretty steep for what we ordered. It was good, but nothing that really stood out or made me want to rush back. One thing I didn't understand was the amount of arugula, it was in the sandwich and also served on the side, which felt a bit excessive. Parking is also very limited, but that's pretty typical for Ventura Boulevard, so I can't really hold that against them. Overall, it's a solid spot with good service, but the value just wasn't there for me. read more

Lovely brunch experience. Came here with 3 friends on a Monday morning and was impressed by the friendliness and attentiveness of all the staff. We were initially confused by the setup because you have to go inside the cafe to order but the cute ambiance and fast service made up for it. The coffees we ordered were amazing! I got a regular latte with cold foam and it was perfectly creamy and delicious. Usually, I add an extra shot to my drinks but this time I didn't and it was still strong enough. For food I ordered a ribeye breakfast burrito but it was not as flavorful as I was expecting. It could use a little more love when preparing. The tuna melt my mom ordered however, was super yummy! Highly recommend if you like tuna melts. Overall, great experience. read more

Sweet butter is another go to for the valley. They are really known for their bakery items and sweet and savory breakfast fare. When it comes to their baked goods everything is large and dense so be aware of that. Each item is really meant to be eaten alone. Of the items I've had here their croissant is my personal favorite. Nothing else really stood out but again the dense part makes it hearty. As for their breakfast items they have some fancy choices such as one that involves steak, big pancakes, etc. every time I've been here everything has been solid but nothing to rave home about. The pancakes tend to be the fave for locals They have a lot of outdoor seating with just a few in their enclave (but have heaters). Food was quickly brought out and everyone was attentive. Parking is street so be aware of that when it gets busy on weekends as it can take a hot second sometimes if it's after 9 on weekdays or during the rush on weekends. read more

Been driving by this place for over 10 years, and been wanting to try it out. Today was the day. For first-timers like ourselves, the entrance was a bit confusing. There is a host table, but there is no sign telling customers to go directly to the counter. I hope the pictures help. We arrived at 8:10AM, 10 minutes after opening. There were 4 other tables before us. The service seemed slow. The staff is professional but are not necessarily talkative and warm. No pleasant greeting, take order, drop off order. Ordered mushroom soup (why a cup instead of a bowl???), side of fresh fruit, matcha cloud, and chicken & waffles. Despite the unorthodox vessel (LOL) the mushroom soup had good taste. The fruits, I appreciated were ripe, firm, and fresh. Wife liked the matcha cloud. The chicken & waffles aside from being delivered 15 mins after everything else and only after I asked where it is, only then did they deliver to the table. This means it was ready and sitting around and forgotten by the staff. The wait was not worth it. The chicken lacked flavor/seasoning. Coincidentally it appeared that the owners and their young children arrived 30 mins after us, and got the full attention of the kitchen staff. Their complete food and drink order was delivered before ours. read more

I was a bit disappointed today, And I had a really good first impression so that kinda made it worse. We got breakfast burritos and coffee for 3 , came out to 120 bucks and it was just basic... burritos were bland , coffee was over sweetened with syrup. oh I forgot we got 1 waffle as well, 1 Belgian waffle for like 17 bucks, super basic waffle not sure it was even made in their kitchen could have been a grocery store waffle that was reheated.... Overall we were a bit let down quality wise and portion wise...maybe it'll be better next time... read more

I was in the neighborhood and I decided to get my 3pm tea break there. The place itself looks pretty nice. They have a cute outdoor patio and also a semi open indoor patio (it's the best way I can describe it). You have to order your food inside the cafe but you cannot sit in there, it's too small and they do not have tables. I did not order food so I cannot give an opinion about it. I ordered a large English breakfast hot tea with steamed oat milk on the side. Technically it's not a latte but on my receipt it says latte and they charged me $6.50 for it. Then, they added $2 for large. I am guessing for the large cup? For the oat milk I paid an extra $0.95. After tax I ended up paying $10.37 for a bag of tea and some oat milk which is pretty HILARIOUS!!!! The owner must be pretty delusional but also rich! I have never paid such a ridiculous price for a simple tea but maybe they sprinkled it with some gold dust which would justify the exorbitant amount! Anyway I sat outside on the outdoor patio and I realized that the patrons there are special people (or at least that's how they see themselves). The vibe is pretty pretentious but I was just minding my own business and enjoying my peace which got quickly disturbed by two wannabe actors who sat right next to me and started speaking so loud because you know how they like for others to hear about their impressive resume. LOL So to sum up I won't be returning mainly because they rip you off! They should rename the place sweet butter & sour bill! read more

Cute little corner spot in Sherman Oaks with lots of outdoor seating- don't go when it's cold or rainy there's no inside seating. Great place for people watching !!! The staff were incredibly nice. And the food was ok. Nothing spectacular. The poached egg on the avocado toast was hard boiled and the portion was small. The power protein scramble was good and it came with a huge mountain of arugula. They have tons of different coffees to choose from and really delicious looking pastries and baked goods. read more

Such a cute spot and the iced salted maple pecan is to die for. Wish they had a bigger size!

Sweet Butter is a conundrum to me; one of those neighborhood places with a huge, loyal following of people willing to stand in a long line to order from a slow poke cashier and then jockey for a table to park yourself and wait for your food. Is the place nicely appointed? Yes. Is the staff friendly? Yes. Is this a great dining experience? Despite the foregoing, not so much. The menu is quite extensive, with well over 2 dozen choices for breakfast, and another 2 dozen or so for lunch. You can read through the menu on a large chalkboard or from one of the laminated hand-held menus passed around by people on the line. Also along the line: a wide variety of books and tchotchkes you can purchase on impulse, like a tourist place along the interstate. To the chef's credit, many of the menu selections sound very good, but in my experience the execution has been disappointing. My wife's Pancakes were huge and fluffy and looked great, but didn't have much flavor at all. Scrambled eggs were dry as a bone, like you'd get at Denny's, and the crispy bacon was practically petrified, and pretty much cold. I ordered the Italian Tuna Melt, which was a beautifully composed sandwich and a very ample portion. I applaud them for trying to make a better quality tuna salad, using Italian tuna with cannellini beans, herbs, olives and just a touch of mayo -- but again, the result didn't live up to the promise. The tuna salad really did need more mayo or something to add moisture, as it was just too dry. The cheddar used was very sharp, which tended to overpower the tuna rather than complement it, and the side serving of shoestring fries, though quite ample, was cold. Yes, the decor and indoor/outdoor seating is attractive and comfortable (once you're settled in), and the lively, chatty crowd makes for an upbeat experience. But the food just isn't particularly pleasing. read more

Even though it was cold and rainy outside, we were seated under heat lamps in a covered area. Would love to come back and try more! read more

Good selection of good food, not very warm and friendly but decent and a nice outdoor atmosphere

Came here with a friend post hike at Fryman Canyon. It's a cute little cafe with breakfast and lunch options. It has a cute indoor/outdoor vibe - whether you're inside or outside you feel like you're in a cozy outdoor environment, and they have heat lamps to keep you warm if it's chilly. You order first and then sit down, where they'll deliver your food. I ordered the Poached Eggs & Fine Herbs Toast, which was delicious! I added a side of mixed fruit, and a Lavender Matcha, which was just right for me in terms of sweetness - not too sweet! My friend ordered a mocha, and a Southern Fried Chicken Salad (not pictured). The restaurant has cute little knickknacks for purchase, and ready-to-eat-and-drink items as well. Parking is limited, but we were able to grab street parking a short distance away. read more

Salad came completely dry with no dressing. French fries were old and like a cardboard.

Confused by the low average rating. We had a wonderful experience and dined with friends + a toddler! I really enjoyed the large menu, seasonal specialties and decor. The servers were very nice. When I wanted to add something to the order they informed me I could scan the QR code on the order card, pay and it would be delivered to us. The food was great and despite being there for Sunday brunch we did not have to wait. I understand some people could get frustrated with the process ordering then getting seated. It would have been ideal to order near the entrance then be seated but it seemed as efficient as it could be given the space constraints. Overall we had a great time and look forward to going back to try more items on the menu. read more

Ok, first issue. The lady at the counter seems annoyed with modifications. MInd you, this restaurant is in Studio City. Nobody has a strait forward order and I drink black drip coffee. Also, she's slow, so that accounts for the line. Second, the price is ridiculous. FYI, salad is not a breakfast side. I had an omelette and coffee, side of potatoes and added spinach tomato and bacon to my cheese and herb omelette. $42. It's cute and has lots of adorable things to buy. The food is decent but not special and the parking is not plentiful. The wait staff is nice, but for $42 I would hope so. Unfortunately that $42 lowered my normal tipping threshold. Sorry guys. I won't be back. read more
