  3.5 starsWe came here for an afternoon tea at 2:15pm on Sunday. We called a week in advance to reserve a table for four people. We checked on the menu on their website. It looked good and the price was reasonable. We gave it a try. When we were seated at the restaurant, a menu was right in front of us. The menu showed 6 blended tea and 3 afternoon tea sets that we could choose form. The 3 afternoon tea sets were: Traditional Afternoon Tea at Butter $30 per person Butters Demilune Afternoon Tea $18 per person Childrens Afternoon Tea $22 per person Obviously we wouldnt order the childrens afternoon tea. We told the server that each of us would like to order the Butters Demilune Afternoon Tea, because we ate brunch earlier in the morning and we felt we would be very full if we ordered the Traditional Afternoon Tea (a full set of savoury and sweet food). Unfortunately, the server said we did not order the Demilune Afternoon Tea on phone when we reserved a table. The server who took our call also did not mention anything about the food or menu. We felt it was a ripe off because the website did not list the Demilune Afternoon Tea. All of us did not know that we must preorder what we wanted on phone. If we did NOT mention what we wanted on phone, it was a DEFAULT that the traditional afternoon tea would be ordered for everybody. This is very misleading!!! We were kind of pissed, but since we had already decided to come and try the high tea here, we had to go with the Traditional Afternoon Tea. We highly recommend their website should list what their high tea is included, so at least people know that they have options and they should specify on phone about what they would like to eat when they call in to reserve a table. We would be much appreciated if the server told us clearly on phone. We tried the savoury and sweet food. All of them were just okay or average. We did not have a wow impression on the food. We actually liked the high tea at Truffles Fine Goods in Van Dusen Garden. Their sandwiches and pastries were great and their price was cheaper than Butter Baked Goods. We also felt it was much more comfortable sitting at Truffles Fine Goods. They had tables inside and outside the restaurant. More spacious. Where we were seated here was next to the counter or a bar table. People or servers walked behind us very frequently that two of us were very uncomfortable that we had to be aware of someone or people who walked behind all the time. Having high tea on a weekend should be enjoyable, but obviously this one was not. However, all the servers here were friendly and took care of all customers. If we would like to have high tea again, we would not come back here most likely as there are good ones out there.

  This is probably the prettiest bakery that I’ve been to, with colourful walls, shelves and furnature. Even their good are cute and clearly play to childhood nostalgia: colourful cookies and bars, marshmallows and cupcakes. So far I’ve sampled their Dunbar, Peanut Butter Marshmallow Slice, and Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwich (see below for more detail). I was very impressed with everything, in particular their Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwich (which is probably their most popular treat). I really liked this place, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who have a sweet tooth.The Dunbar ($3.5) – 4.5/5From appearance alone, it really didn’t look like much, so I’m surprised by how much I ended up enjoying the bar. All of the components and flavours in the bar worked very well together and were absolutely delicious. It had a layer of chocolate chips that was topped by a delcious layer of thick, sweet dulce de leche. The streussel topping, which contained oatmeal, pecans and coconut was crunchy, buttery and had a nice hint of salt that complemented the sweetness of the chocolate and caramel. I did find the pecans to be a bit on the raw side and I do wish that the coconut flavour was a bit more promient.Peanut Butter Marshmallow Slice ($2.25) – 4/5 It basically consisted of their plain, house-made (vanilla?) marshmallows mixed together with a peanut butter frosting. I’m not a marshmallow connoisseur; I thought that theirs was fine – soft, fluffy and mildly sweet. What makes the slice special was their peanut butter frosting. It had a great peanut flavour and a perfect balance between sweet and salty. Peanut Butter Cookie Sandwich ($4) – 5/5I had pretty high expectations for this cookie, and fortunately, I wasn’t disappointed. The cookies themselves were soft and almost melted in my mouth. The peanut butter filling was quite different from their marshmallow slice – it was fluffier, less sweet, and didn’t have as a strong peanut flavour. Eaten separately, I found that both the cookie and the frosting to be a bit weak in flavour, even slightly bland. However, when eaten together (as the sandwich is clearly meant to), the flavours build and combine to form the perfect bite.

  This place is fantastic. As its name suggests, Butter uses copious amount of butter in their decadent baked goods. One of my favorites here is the peanut butter sandwich cookie. The cookie is soft, sweet and salty. Try it. You’ll be going back for more.
