Absolutely loved my recent visit to Butternut Bakehouse! This place is a total gem, and I just have to share how awesome it was.
First off, the blueberry cake there is out of this world. Seriously, it's like nothing I've ever tasted before. The cake was super moist, and the blueberries were perfectly sweet – not too sugary, just natural and delicious. It's one of those cakes that you keep thinking about long after you've finished eating.
Then there was the cappuccino. I'm kind of picky about my coffee, but their cappuccino was on point. It had the perfect amount of foam, and the temperature was just right. It wasn't too hot or too cold, which is super important for a good cappuccino. It was the kind of drink that makes you feel all cozy and happy inside.
The vibe of Butternut Bakehouse is also worth mentioning. It's got this cool, laid-back atmosphere that makes you want to hang out there all day. The staff were super friendly too. They greeted me right when I walked in and were really nice the whole time. It's cool when you can feel comfortable in a place right away.
And oh, the smells in the bakehouse! As soon as you walk in, you get hit with the scent of fresh baking, and it's amazing. It's like walking into a cloud of happiness. I could seriously just sit there and smell the air all day.
I'm already planning my next trip back to Butternut Bakehouse. Gotta try more of their cakes and maybe some pastries too. If you haven't been there yet, you're totally missing out. It's a must-visit for anyone who loves good cake and coffee!

I stopped in before New Years to get some pastries for my family. It’s so exciting to have a new artisan bakery in Belmont Center, with beautiful natural light and comfortable seating. Butternut makes the best canelés I’ve ever had - lightly caramelized on the outside, custardy on the inside, with a delicious floral vanilla flavor. I can’t recommend them enough!

I’m so glad Butternut is open in Belmont! Service was fab, we were taking our time looking over the menu and pastry case, the cashier offered to help with any questions or suggestions genuinely.
We ended up with several pastries, coffees, and an egg sandwich. Everything tasted divine, especially the sandwich!
Cannot wait to return!

I’ve had a lot of breakfast sandwiches in my life, but the Butternut Bakehouse has hands down make the best I’ve ever had. Flaky, buttery, savory, melt in your mouth and immediately-order-another-sandwich kinda feeling.
10/10 best “let’s stop into this place for a quick bite” decision in a long time. Yum ❤️
Edit: did in fact order a second sandwich (roast beef on ciabatta) and it was also fabulous. Can y’all do nothing wrong?

We are so excited to have Butternut Bakehouse in Belmont center! While the staff is still clearly in training, they did their best. Quiche and grilled cheese were delicious and appreciated by our picky kids. Unfortunately, my husband and I were quite disappointed with the sandwiches - straight from the fridge, with cold and stale bread, they tasted like they were made yesterday. Not worth $11+. Also highly recommend their London Fog.
We wish Butternut Bakehouse all the best and can't wait to be back to try other items on the menu.

We stopped into the new Butternut Belmont location on Saturday. It was their soft opening and it was packed. People streaming in off the street. Got a lovely cardamom and clove latte which was divine! Ordered a few pastries and gobbled them down. The morning bun? Go immediately and get one!! Congrats on the new location! If yesterday is any indication, this place will flourish!

The bright, airy atmosphere of Butternut is welcome in Belmont Center. Despite the large crowd, the service was quick. Everyone was friendly and the food and drink were delicious. I can’t wait to bring my laptop and do some work there.

I was given a ham a cheese croissant from here as well as another savory pastry I have never tried before. They both were mouth watering, delicious, savory pastries. I live out of state, but can't wait to come back and try many more of their offerings. Go here, you won't be sorry!

An EXCELLENT addition to Belmont center. I love the Arlington location, but am so excited about a bigger spot where you can have a pastry *and* lunch with a friend or colleague. Staff is super knowledgeable and friendly, and since they bake in-house it always smells like heaven.
