Butler Bakeshop & Espresso Bar

one of my go to coffee shops in the area. the vibe here is so good, they have wifi & a bathroom too so i love working here.

plenty of seating (although it still does get a bit crowded), an extensive food / drink menu, friendly staff, and a water dispenser :)

Barista recommended the avocado toast and I can confirm it was one of the best I’ve had. Nothing crazy but very flavorful and filling. There is wifi for those who want to work and a clean restroom for guests which I appreciated. I did wish someone wiped down my table before I sat/was served my food (not that it was super dirty, just a few crumbs) but other than that I would definitely visit their other locations too.

perfect spot to work in soho 〰️ pastry-infused vibe in the air, great coffee, wifi, restroom. this place has all i need!

tried the everything cruffin and cold brew. love their cold brew so much as it was not fruity at all. the everything cruffin is filled w cream cheese but the cruffin itself is a bit bland. they also carry many sorts of pastry 🥐 would come back and try something more~

A pretty good study spot by my standards— especially if you have some noise-cancelling earphones since the speakers are a lil loud.
A+ for the americano! I usually prefer my coffee less acidic/ sour and more nutty BUT there’s also this narrow spot of perfect balance between both that I enjoy and this was exactly that balance ✨.

Also loved the muted but colorful theme/aesthetic of this place. It’s not monotone neutral but easy on the eyes as well :) definitely feels like Pinterest moodboard material.

There’s also free wifi and a bathroom which are essentials for folks like me who cafe-studiers.

And the cashier with the black cap who calls customers “lovelies” was so welcoming and awesome so shoutout to her as well.

Haven’t tried the pastries so can’t vouch for those tho. Maybe next time bc I would definitely visit again 👀

Omg, I just had an ACTUAL croissant in NYC 😜. Finallllyyyyy. So good and not dry at all. The cappuccino was amazing as well. They had unsweetened nut milk!! Plus the service was outstanding. Super impressed! laptop friendly.

A beautiful store for a coffee or brunch.

Plenty of sittings indoor and outdoor as well.
Coffee was really good, a nice place to hang out or even working on your laptop and immerse yourself into a coffee aroma.

Have street parking but very limited, not recommended driving here.

Usually don’t leave reviews, but feeling obligated. Usually get an espresso in the morning when I’m working nearby. They were just bringing out the fresh chocolate covered croissants on the rack and loading them into the display. I made a face and shook my head at how delicious these looked.

The gentleman boxed one up for me on the house, but I respectfully had to decline. I could’ve eaten that whole tray with no issues, but trying to be disciplined. This was such a kind gesture that hurt to turn down.

If you’re reading this; thank you for making my morning. It’s gestures from places like this that make customers life long and bring communities closer.

A year later and nothing gets me harder than their espresso/croissant combo

Friendly staff and such a cute interior setup with perfect amount of natural light. wifi, restroom, good drinks and food like where else can I find such a perfect place to work in nyc?!

Food is ok, coffee is not good.
We had breakfast (2x avocado toasts and 2x cappuccinos) and after about 40 min I decided to work on something and out of respect I ordered again cappuccino and small pastry and when I opened the laptop they rushed to tell me it’s not allowed on weekends!! That was weird given (1). The place wasn’t crowned and many tables were empty and (2) I ordered again. Bad experience anyway!! Not coming back

Great service and food, matcha was a touch watered down for me but still good. Will definitely go back to try their coffee and espresso drinks. Free wifi for working but can be very loud, not the fault of the restaurant just other patrons taking calls and working from there - so would not suggest going if your work day involves lots of meetings.

Love the coffee here and it always smells so good. Breakfast empanadas are my favorite! Nice outdoor terrace where you can sip your coffee and people watch. Inside great vibe to bring your laptop and work/study.

Loved the food and coffee. Came here to work, there are no outlets for customer use which was a bummer but I came with my laptop charged so it was fine. Bathroom access and cleanliness was mega dope.

The building and location is beautiful. Outside of that this is an underwhelming spot. I got a large latte and it came with a lot of milk and not enough coffee. Also got the soup of the day which was served without a spoon. wifi is fast, but music is loud.

Cute vibe for working. Strong free wifi. Very cozy, lots of seating

It has everything - wifi, good coffee and great food. Music could be a little more chill. One of the only cafes of this kind in the immediate area.

Nice cafe. Good service, good coffee, clean bathrooms, laptop friendly. Situated across from a small "park ."

I’ve gotten the avocado toast a few times and it is soo good with the ricotta, pomegranate, and pistachio, I tried the French toast pastry the first time I visited and it was amazing too! The folks working there are lovely and it’s a cute little spot will definitely be back.

Incredibly kind and friendly front of house that seem to sincerely love working with one another. I don't usually repeat a visit to any individual coffee shop, but I was charmed enough to meet other clients the following week after being brought here by a friend the previous Friday. It's wonderful to have an iced tea option that isn't LIPTON! BIG UPS! My only criticism is everybody else loves it too, so a little difficult to get a round table!

Came into Butler to do some light work and get my regular Iced Americano. This location always offers the right space and vibe to get some work done. Had a wonderfully pleasant interaction with Giana and Kate who rang up my order. I was offered a small compliment on my attire and it was enough to bring a smile to my face and put a positive outlook on my day. Giana and Kate and the rest of the staff at this location cultivate a wondrous atmosphere. I almost can't focus on my work because I'm so focused on how good I feel about myself all of a sudden
Thank you Giana, and thank you to the hard working, fun loving staff here!
