Pastries: everything looked as good as it tasted! Service: friendly Ambiance: open kitchen, reminds me of commercial kitchens in yountsville Parking: street parking and a lot across the street Cost: $4-$7 a pastry Overall: I would come here again to buy a couple pastries. My only complaint is if you want to double back and look at the pastries behind you after passing to see if you missed out on anything it's a bit hard if there is a line. read more

See all

Stopped by today with my boyfriend and 2 friends for lattes and croissants, and honestly, I wanted to try everything on the menu. The prices are super reasonable, and the coffee and food were chef's kiss--absolutely worth it. The inside has a cute, cozy vibe, but the layout could use some work, and more indoor seating would be a game-changer. Plenty of outdoor seating, but unless you enjoy sipping a latte in the freezing cold, it's not very useful in winter. Still, the coffee was top-notch, the croissants were buttery perfection, and I'll definitely be back if I'm ever in Malvern again!! read more

This cute little breakfast spot is perfect for a quick bite. I got the broccoli cheddar hand pie & a ginger latte. Both of them were delicious (albeit nothing special but they fit the need of what we were looking for since we had a big lunch planned for the afternoon). There is no wait staff, so you order food and bring it to your table. The system was a little confusing at first. Luckily it was fairly warm outside for a December day, because the inside seating is very limited so we sat outside (although they do have heat lamps which helps & they set them up upon request). One nice part about the casual atmosphere is that you don't feel rushed - we sat for nearly three hours catching up with high school friends. While the ambiance inside is cute & feels like a great little cafe, they definitely should have included more seating in the space plan. The outside seating is on the street & doesn't match the vibe of inside. If you're looking for a big sit down breakfast, this isn't that kind of spot. If you want a cute little bite & are ok with sitting outside, however, it's great! Food: B Drinks: B Service: C+ Ambiance: C+ read more

The Buttery - Broccoli cheddar hand pie ; ginger latte - Bakeries Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

Just visited the Buttery for the first time in a few months. They have changed their layout and order process with now more indoor seating - a good thing. However, I visited on a Monday when they were half full and it's very noisy, so much so that I had to ask the server quite a few times to repeat what they were saying. New staff not as friendly as before. As well, many have their packaged baked goods didn't have prices. Food still good, although pricey. read more

I have been a diehard fan of the chocolate croissant since they opened. Sadly, I just bought one and it tasted SO different. The flakiness was there but not the flavor. Something is different, but I can't put my finger on it. read more

Kicks out laptop users without any warning. Nothing posted to social media and no signage to inform customers about it. Waited 15 minutes in line to get a table, and got scolded by employee. I'm done with the buttery and can't recommend it to my coworkers and friends. read more

The food here is fantastic and reliable. They're the best pastries for miles and although a bit more expensive than more generic bakeries, it's totally worth it to support the risks they take and the variety they provide. I've been coming for years and felt compelled to finally write this, which I don't often do because it's so rare that a business earns my trust and respect for a consistent, long-term period. I owed you this review, Malvern Buttery. You deserve it. read more

Love love love this place. It is great to meet up with friends for coffee and breakfast or to grab something to go before a busy day. Their food is delicious. Their coffee is delicious. read more

What's a girl to do when it's pouring, and she needs a break from highway driving? Stop at Malvern Buttery of course. On a scale of cotton candy to Brussels sprouts, Malvern Buttery feels like a crème brûlée with a sweet, crisp presence. I dripped into Malvern Buttery in search of a delicious latte and a pastry to sweeten a long, rainy drive, and I walked out with both of those items plus one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I don't like sandwiches generally so when one temps me and then knocks my tastebuds around, I'm shocked. Malvern Buttery has street parking as well as a small lot across from it, and I parked in the lot for about 10 minutes. I found myself wishing I had more time to appreciate the whole shop from the eating area to all the items for sale. If you're ever in Malvern, stop at the Malvern Buttery! read more

Amazing place to visit in Malvern. Some of the best croissants I have ever had. Alittle on the pricer side but well worth it. Love the ambiance of the restaurant. There is seating indoors and outdoors. The coffee was also very delicious. Will definitely stop back sometime read more

The Buttery - Almond Croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

Wow! Fresh, clean, modern and yummy! This was my first time there and first time in Malvern, and I definitely will be back! Everything looked so good, it was hard to decide what to get, so, I'll have to come back again to try more offerings. The place was clean, the food was all very fresh, they were rolling the croissants as we were looking around! We tried the chick pea salad sandwich and the Italian focaccia sandwich. They were both so fresh and yummy! Plus we shared an almond croissant and it was the best almond croissant I've ever had! And I've had a lot of almond croissants in my life! Lol! We sat at the cute little tables outside, plus there were inside tables, too. They had nice clean restrooms as well. read more

I've heard a lot of great things about the Buttery and it definitely lives up to the hype. It was pretty crowded (Saturday around 11am) but there are tons of staff and it takes no time to get pastries and coffee. There is so much to choose from- it's overwhelming. I asked for suggestions and left with a ham and cheese croissant and a piece of spiced Bundt cake. They'll heat up any pastry for you which is great. Both items were incredible. The space is beautiful on the inside and they're constantly bringing out fresh pastries. The cold brew was great- not bitter at all. I would recommend stopping in on Saturdays and then checking out the Farmers Market down the street. It's a great way to spend a morning. read more

I had celebrated NYE with dear friends who just moved back to Pennsylvania. Woke up New Year's Day to croissant Ms from Malvern Buttery. We made our coffee and I decide to try half of an almond croissant. OMG! It was heavenly! I need to make a trip to this shop to try some more of their items but what I had was absolutely wonderful! read more

I want to enjoy this place more than I do in reality. Great ambiance. I enjoyed the food today, but they do not make a good London Fog, which was disappointing given the price. It was a tea bag instead of being steeped properly and there was no vanilla and the milk barely frothed. I wish the drinks were better - seems to be my downfall there every time. read more

The pastries are outstanding. Last time I went, I had a chocolate chai cake where the chai flavor came through really nicely and complemented the chocolate beautifully. I also had a pear financier that was delightful. The coffee bar, on the other hand, let's this place down. Burnt beans, bad roasts, watery drinks. It's weird that they can execute very complicated pastries and breads beautifully, but can't work an espresso machine properly. Pastries: 5 stars. Coffee: -1 stars. read more

I wish I found this place while I still lived in the area. I was visiting friends in PA and we made a quick breakfast stop one morning. I had some restraint, but knew I had to get the kouign-amann. I also went with a cannelle and mocha latte. Kouign-amann was top notch; buttery, flaky, sweet. The cannelle was quite dark on the outside and still custard-y in the middle. Will give more pastries a go once I'm back in the area. read more

There is no better (butter?) place on earth than Malvern Buttery. I'm so glad I live close, but not too close, to this magical bakery - brightly lit, clean, refined. The pastries are almost too beautiful to eat, but you'd be doing your taste buds a disservice not to. Service is super kind and quick, though it's a bit disorienting when you walk in, not sure who is in line, who isn't, where to go to order, etc. I'm definitely more prepared for my next visit. If you're craving a sweet treat, do yourself a favor and visit The Buttery. I'm already salivating at the though of their croissants, cookies, and other bakery items. They also have a great selection of teas and coffees! I can't wait to share this place with everyone I know. read more

Very trendy and delicious bakery! Great selection of pastries, food, and drinks. The French onion quiche was amazing! Definitely recommend stopping in. read more

Loved the variety offered. They offer some pastries along with some breakfast type of options. There are cold drinks and waters in the refrigerator at the entry door. They even offer a few little items such as mugs for purchase. We tried a pot pie, flourless chocolate cookie, chocolate chip cookie, and a quiche. All were delicious! The only downside was that my handheld chicken pot pie was not warm. I wish they even threw it in an oven for a minute to reheat. read more

This bakery cafe is the best. It is a bit of a drive from where I live but worth it every time. Great sandwiches and treats. The only place on the man line I found that makes true classic caneles and great kouigan amman. They have wonderful, sweet and savory pastries. And I always enjoy trying something new for lunch. Their coffee is great as well. Even the decaf. read more

Our favorite coffee and breakfast bakery on the main line. Great brew. Incredible variety of breakfast sweets and savories including fantastic croissants, scones and quiche. Great vibe with an open kitchen to see all the action that is not so much behind the scenes with the visibility. Not a lot of inside seating but there is plenty outside in the warm weather. read more

Our first time here!! In 2024 we want to check out a local coffee shop every weekend and this was our first stop! Going to be tough to top! Absolutely lovely atmosphere with friendly service. I could sit here all day. I got an oat milk iced matcha latte with lavender and my bf got a hot coffee. Both were great. I didn't really think about it but this was my first time having a legit croissant (not those pilsbury ones or one from Wawa) and it was AMAZING. - I had the ham and cheese but even the plain one would be heavenly. Definitely coming back, definitely want to get some "The Buttery" merch! (They have lots of cute merch and some local wares) 10/10 see you again soon! read more

This is not the Malvern Buttery I knew and loved!! The buttery opened my senior year of high school so my friends and I just started driving, I spent hours at a time here studying and catching up with them throughout college. It felt like a cozy, bright little house, always calm but filled with families and little kids and laughter! I also loved the whole set up where you got the board and served yourself. I was so excited to take my boyfriend here. I've been telling him about the $4 toast and spread bar, and the little bowls of yogurt, eggs, salad, or oatmeal you could add to your plate. Now there's none of that. I know it's a bakery, but I loved this place for the bowls of healthier options that were smaller portions. I feel like no other cafes have anything like that. I don't eat a lot of baked goods but don't want to spend money or have a full 'meal', so their offerings really filled that gap. We drove all the way there only to find it cramped, overcrowded, and there was no where to sit so we just had to leave. I'm not sure how they still have a business if there's only a couple tables and bar stools? I watched other groups walk out when they saw there was no seating too. Coming here used to be an experience, now all they seem to care about is these large bulk orders and to-go stuff. There's a massive fridge taking up space and the kitchen expanded so far forward into the space it's basically the entire floor plan. Highly unwelcoming, uncomfortable, and a stressful experience as opposed to the communal tables and family style foods of before. We took some food to go and went elsewhere to sit and have coffee. I'm really picky about pastries and don't eat a lot of sugar or greasy foods, so I didn't like anything we got, but I feel like it's not fair for me to comment. Also, I feel like spending $32 on a couple items (4) is worth it if you can enjoy the space and get some work done or sit with a friend, but not worth it for take out. The coffee was never amazing, but I think it's better than any chain, and I'd take it alongside the good food. I recall the flourless chocolate cake or tart being amazing, it still looked good! We had dinner plans, or else I would've tried one of the salads, definitely need to try the miso hummus too. I'll probably grab one to go cause they looked incredible. Meat looked perfectly cooked and the flavors sound fresh and interesting. I wish the hummus was available like how the servings used to be, not in a massive format, because I'm traveling and can't take bulk things with me! So frustrating!! I will say, I think there used to be a massive table in the middle with no seating? And the couches were not super effective at maximizing space. So I totally support the decision to rearrange the layout. But not to this extent. Overall super disappointing :( read more

First visit here with the kids, as we moved them into their new digs at The Yards... Parking was across the street, limited, but it looks like you can park behind the store in a parking garage. A cool open vibe when stepping inside is only trumped by the friendly, smiling faces that greet you (and they were even behind masks). We were helped by three different people as we perused the selections. Super helpful and friendly! The porridge is excellent, super hearty. We shared a breakfast sandwich too. No coffee on this trip so we'll explore that next time. Inside seating is very limited so be prepared to wait, or sit outside in nice weather. So much more to explore and eat here, we'll be back! read more

The Buttery - OMG the chicken ciabatta is soooooo good - Bakeries Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

I'm hopeful that someday they will go back to pre covid days with the better options like the rice bean and egg bowls and big crock of hot oatmeal and the awesome $4 bread, peanut butter ,butter, and jelly station. It was so relaxing and we would sit at the big tables and sip our tea. Now it's a cramped, rushed, and very unrelaxing experience. No time to even think as they rushed me through the line and got me quickly to a register. I asked a couple questions and was met with the most unfriendly responses. The food is very good but nowhere to sit and exhorbitant pricing means I won't be back soon. Please consider returning to your former model,Malvern Buttery! It was perfect. read more

The food is made in house but extremely expensive for what you get. An almond croissant is $6.50 at this time. You can buy an artisan loaf of bread at Whole Foods for the price of one croissant. A sandwich with no sides ranges from $10.50 to $13.50. The taste is good, but it is a simple sandwich at that price. read more

I miss the old buttery. The original buttery! It was amazing and we would go every weekend. Now it seems to have lost all its charm and the food has gone downhill as well. Of course many of the pastries are still good, but nothing that I've had in recent years has been exceptional. Today I stopped in because I had an appt in the area. I got a turkey sandwich which was decent, but the soup I got was inedible. It was like beans and some kale floating in a watery broth. I basically threw it out after trying to suffer through it. A real shame especially considering how much it cost. My daughter got a chia pudding - also inedible. We ordered a croissant and walked out. The tables were cramped and dirty - no staff taking the time to clean them between customers whatsoever. I'm sad about this! read more

I. Love. This. Place. I am a huge fan of the set-up. Go in, order your coffee, grab whatever you want to eat, grab a seat. It's a great spot to go get some homework done or enjoy the morning on a weekend. And clever on them because you don't pay until you're done, so I'll go back up like three times sometimes!!! There's too much delicious food to choose from! While the items themselves are not too pricey, it can add up quickly, so you just have to keep track of it well. The setting and decor is soo cute and gives me major Sunday morning brunch vibes!! Community seating, and sofa area as well. Right by the open bar where they prepare all of the drinks (coffee drinks, that is). Finally, the food itself is delicious!!! I always say it's all the stuff you actually want at a breakfast buffet. (If they added some pancakes to the offerings, I'd be in heaven). The parfaits are usually my favorite! I've had a couple different lattes that are always great. I'm a sucker for a cute brunch spot, so if that's what you're looking for, this is definitely the place to fo read more

I believe we have another entry for "If Pinterest Opened A Restaurant, it Would Look Like This". It's airy, lots of white and blonde wood, high ceilings with exposed painted ductwork, open kitchen. I arrived for lunch on a gorgeous afternoon, one of those rare winter days that reminds us that spring is coming. As I entered on the right hand side was a table with artfully displayed artisan chocolate bars and t-shirts. To the right of that were comfy sofas and an open drink case. This is self-seat, self-serve except for coffees that they make for you, and there are communal long tables for you to eat at. The self-serve food had a mix of some sandwiches, salads, some croissants/sticky buns, soups and all you can eat toast bar. You take what you want then as you leave you tell someone what you had and you pay. Kind of the honor system I guess? I picked up my tray - a butcher block board - and selected the broccoli creek salad along with a chicken couscous soup. Both were displayed nicely in white crocks. They looked delicious, but they were both very bland. I questioned whether there was actually dressing on the salad, they assured me there was. OK. The soup looked gorgeous but lacked flavor. I headed back for something more flavorful and snagged the last pecan sticky bun. This is most definitely worth getting. Nutty, cinnamon, sweet, gooey, deliciousness. This, my friend, is sticky bun perfection. The staff were nice, the place is gorgeous. I think when I have an occasion to go again I will stick to the sticky buns (see what I did there?) and some nice brewed tea or coffee. It's that kind of place. read more

Bakery + Coffee = Perfect Day. I finally made it to @malvernbuttery. I was in need of coffee asap. . . . When I walked in, the aroma of fresh baked goods and coffee hit me at the door. It felt so warm and inviting. It is BAKERY HEAVEN! I wanted to ask for ONE of everything. Cookies, Croissants, Cakes, Biscotti, Scones, Sticky buns, cinnamon buns, Breads, brownies, blondies, hand pies, the list goes on. Ohhhhh and they bake CRUFFINS! Yes a muffin+croissant!!! Who knew this was a thing???There are also prepared foods sandwiches, soups, and salads. Wheat-free and vegan options. . I left with only 3 items but will definitely add to my list of local eateries. A chocolate croissant, vegan chocolate cake, and quiche(roasted sweet potato, bacon, rosemary, cheddar&gruyere cheeses). . A great place to find gift ideas for the foodies in your life. Seating outside. I think on my next visit we will grab lunch! . . read more
