this is my business

Open since January, 2006, the South End Buttery has seen lots of changes, but has already become a fixture in the South End for fine coffees, espresso drinks, loose leaf teas, homemade baked goods and unique sandwiches, soups and salads. A wide assortment of delicious muffins, tea breads, scones, cupcakes, cookies, brownies and tarts are baked fresh daily. The Buttery is also dog-friendly, offering dog oreo cookies (for humans!) and vanilla, chocolate and carrot cake cupcakes named after the owners' dogs (a portion of the cupcake sales benefits animal rescue causes). Peanut butter and jelly cookies and earl grey-infused white chocolate cheesecakes are among the treats that Pastry Chef Lee Napoli whips up for this quaint bakery/cafe right on the premises. In addition to homemade baked goods, the Buttery also offers a creative menu of homemade soups, salads and sandwiches designed by Executive Chef Marisa Iocco.

This is the cutest cafe in town and so quintessentially south end. it is dreamy and the buttery walls so welcoming. just strolling down union park approaching the buttery lifts my spirit. the food is great and the ambiance open to lingering for hours or just getting a good cup of coffee or sandwich or pastry to go. it is truly a treat and I always feel like I get a little taste of west village when I visit.

This is one of the finest make-overs that I have ever seen in the South End. This place is now light and welcoming with outstanding food and much more room that ever before. The quality of every item they serve is really wonderful. It is truly a treat to visit the South End Buttery. Richard has continued to extend their hours of operation, which is another of his gifts to the community.

The Buttery is humming every morning with a stream of customers going in to get a latte and a pastry. There a few tables out front where you can sit and relax and mingle with the neighbors. The Buttery is bright and cheerful and service is great.

The South End Buttery has quickly become a fixture in the South End-the baked goods can't be beat, the food is fresh and it's a great place meet friend for coffee, or have breakfast/lunch and read the paper.
