    Buttercup Cafe is a nice little local stop on 6A in Cape Cod. Since I'm on the Cape, I don't want to set harsh mainland standards - I expect the price to be higher, for example - but how will it measure up locally? Ambiance - 5 stars. You come in to the muffin display. It doesn't look like a lot, but the dining space opens up in back. So you have your choice of a quick pickup or a longer schmooze. Service - 4.5 stars. Friendly, prompt. If there was one thing I'd suggest, ask your guests if there's anything they want. I offered a couple of times - hot sauce please, more water please - but shouldn't have to raise my hand to get those for a true 5 star rating. But it's nitpicky so minimal deduction. Food: Well, it's the meals that set me on 4 stars. The special Benedict was good, but only good. The eggs were done nicely - not totally runny, not totally set. Not a lot on my plate for the money. Wish there were more home fries and more biscuit to contribute value to the order. Maybe just home fries; biscuits are rather plain by definition and these were no exception. As for my friend's dish, the cranberry bread was wonderful but overpowered the French aspect. It didn't really egg up - like, use THIS for your Benedict where I can enjoy some delicious fresh bread. Wondering if they test bake their specials before putting them up to the public - that'd be another recommendation. In the end, a couple of fine tweaks only. And as I saw someone else mentioned... see if you can get real maple syrup on hand. Even if it's an upcharge, it's welcome for breakfast.

    This is how they do it!

    What?! I was getting hangry so we just pulled in (really lucky to grab one of the two parking spots in front and no line out the door! Guess everyone was at the beach!). It's small but opens up. Greeted by a smoothie counter and a pastry evil temptation display, you will find a counter and tables in the back. Their specialty is breakfast and sandwich lunch as it is a café. Coffee is decent. But what knocked my socks off was the manager Erica, and their really delicious turkey Swiss and fig sandwich. From the minute, they served it. I looked at my husband and said "oh my God, they roast their turkey"!. They do. And it made me happy. He ordered a Reuben and it wouldn't surprise me if they make their own pastrami. They do. And while some people here complain about their price, giving what they're serving I would expect to pay $11-$15 anywhere for that sandwich. Which I did, for $15 I brought back half of my sandwich - multigrain bread, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, bacon, a nice pile of turkey and fig jam. It hit all the notes! The only thing my husband would've done different with his Ruben was asked for more dressing on the side. He felt it was low on the dressing, but some people don't like their sandwich soppy like he does. Every time somebody offers, housemate potato chips, I go for them. And I'm glad I did! It's clear that the owner takes huge pride in this little hole in the wall breakfast place that is noisy, attracts a cult, serves good coffee, decent portions and food that is very well prepared. If you're going to charge $15 for a sandwich with a side of house made potato chips, this is what you want to be eating. On the downside parking is sketchy. However, there is parking behind the buildings across the street. People just don't want to be crossing the road, but you can find parking back there. The owners would like to put tables outside, but one of the servers was commenting that either the market or dolphin restaurant had a little bit of a problem with them putting tables in front of the property since parking is such a problem, I don't think they want people parking in their spots to come over to this place for breakfast. Not sure if I agree or disagree, but it is tight and I'm assuming that both of those business is also have a lot of people traffic. All in all, I can't wait to come back for breakfast!!!

    Randomly stumbled on this cafe and it was worth it! Came in on a Wednesday morning with no wait time. Was greeted right away and staff were very friendly. The service was quick too. Food and drinks were good. So glad the waitress told me about the side syrup for The Frenchy (French toast breakfast sandwich). Such a cute spot!

    Stopped by after a 3-hour kayaking trip. The food was so good. It really hit the spot! It was about 1:30-2pm on a Sunday and was a full house inside and outside of the restaurant. We sat at the counter. The food and service were excellent! We took some baked good home.

    Great little cafe with great fresh food. The service was fantastic and the food came out promptly. The chicken caesar wrap was perfect and you could tell all the ingredients were fresh!

    Always friendly, always delicious and consistent. Gets busy and they never get behind. My kids favorite place. One likes lunch one likes breakfast. Best of both.

This year we came back because of how outstanding last year was. I ordered the chili again, even though I knew it meant I probably wouldn't eat my whole meal. My friend ordered the fish and chips and upgraded to truffle fries. She said it was probably the best fish and chips she's had. Now... for my meal... I am not exaggerating... BEST meal I have EVER had. Ever. I had the cod. Baked. With pesto, and sun-dried tomatoes. Served with roasted potatoes and spinach. So flaky. So tender. Perfectly cooked. The flavor was something straight from heaven. Breaks my heart I'm not local. I'd eat this weekly. All of the staff is always so friendly. A gentleman also checked in... not sure if he's a manager or owner. This is a top notch place. I'll definitely be back.

The TV screens are perfectly placed, the bartenders are friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. The pizza was excellent -- flavorful, hot, and done just right. We also tried the meatloaf, and it genuinely reminded us of our grandmother's from years ago -- comforting, hearty, and full of flavor. That's not something you find everywhere. Even in the middle of winter, the place had a warm, lively vibe. We ended up having a great conversation with someone we later found out was the owner -- just chatting about everyday life. That kind of genuine hospitality says a lot. Good food, great service, and an easygoing atmosphere. Thanks for a great experience -- we'll definitely be back!

The…read morebluefish pate itself was good, but rather on the salty side, so serving it with salt and vinegar chips made it pretty much inedibly salty (this was taken off the bill when the bartender noticed we didn't eat more than one bite each). My first glass of vinho verde wine was served at room temperature (the second was fine), and the side plate I was given was crusted with dried food residue. I also watched an employee behind the bar wipe her nose with her hand and then continue slicing citrus barehanded. The chicken empanadas were good but not particularly special. We also had one of the small pizzas, which was the best thing of the night, crispy and flavorful (with a little char at the edges, which we like). The decor is a little bananas (different shades of green between the walls, the napkins, the barstools, and the banquettes; five kinds of lighting fixtures; lots of sound and lighting items with exposed, hasty-looking wiring). The bathroom door doesn't really close and lock properly. And the restaurant is really loud, even half full. The writing on the menu, about family members and special recipes, tells me that there's pride here and real care about making a good restaurant. However, without the attention to detail (particularly cleanliness and hygiene!), that's kind of moot. Three stars instead of two here because the pizza was good and the staff obviously care about customers.

The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived, but since we had reservations we were seated right away. Our server was friendly and took the time to walk us through the menu and highlight the nightly specials. In the end, we all decided on the prix fixe menu, which included an appetizer, entrée, and dessert--an excellent value considering the quality and generous portion sizes. After placing our orders, our server returned with our drinks along with a basket of warm rolls and soft butter, a nice touch to start the meal. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the interior is surprisingly spacious. From the outside, you'd never guess how large the restaurant actually is. To start, I ordered the short rib and fontina arancini, which were outstanding. The portion was generous--honestly large enough to be a meal on its own. My wife began with the Caesar salad, which was crisp, fresh, and nicely balanced without being overly dressed. For our main course, my wife and I both chose the crab-stuffed sole. It was excellent and, once again, the portion size was impressive. We even had enough leftovers to make another meal the next day. By the end of the meal we were so full that we decided to take our desserts--New York-style cheesecake and tiramisu--home to enjoy later. There's plenty of parking available, and I'd definitely recommend making reservations, especially on busy nights. Overall, it was a great meal with generous portions, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. I'd happily return

We both remarked that, because the fish here always tastes so fresh, we tend to order it every time. The menu offers early evening prix fixe options we regretted missing because the prices are wildly cost effective. We had the roasted panko haddock, prepared with roasted shrimp, citrus beurre blanc, roasted potatoes, and asparagus. It was delicious. The citrus beurre blanc leaned more buttery than citrusy, but it was still very good. The haddock was cooked perfectly. The honey mustard salmon, served with cranberry compote, roasted potatoes, and asparagus, was perfectly cooked and delicious as well. The honey mustard flavor was perhaps too subtle, but only because it was so good--we would have welcomed more of it. The complimentary bread service included several pieces of fresh, hot, crusty bread served with rich herbed butter. The bar atmosphere is friendly and unpretentious, and it was nice to see so many happy customers. We enjoyed champagne, wine, and mocktails. It's great to revisit this nostalgic space and enjoy its consistently good food.

This is a really appealing, intimate, mom and pop (and summer help waitress) place. The hostess/ front of house boss, who was operating from the bar of this 10-12 table location, was gracious and endearing (in the way that an almost overbearing host can be- that meant as a compliment). The drinks took a minute, my fiancé's salad needed blue cheese brought out as it was left off (single most off-putting thing: the waitress, I suspect language mastery being the cause of this rather than malice or willful deceit, flat out told her that blue cheese did not come with the wedge salad...but when boss lady at the bar was asked, this was quickly corrected), there was a heavy does of reggae music. All of this less than optimal. The food was very good, though I can't remember off the top of my head what I had (it's been a month). Nor did I take pics: it seemed like it'd detract from the experience. There weren't any complaints about the food from others. (So I went back and looked at the menu: potstickers as an app- pretty good; baked local seafood as the main- good, but it is what it is in that not a ton of nuance added so as to let the seafood do the talking.
