    We ordered a coffee and the mango crepe. And it was so delicious. My kid loved it. The coffee was really good. It's a nice family owned restaurant with nice outdoor sit out. A must try place if you're looking for brunch options.

    Tried a bunch of items and enjoyed everything! Mushroom toastie was lovely, deluxe veggie and mango mania crepes were great along with cappuccino, but my favorite was spicy tofu crepe- amazing flavor! Good find in east bay fro brunch.

    As soon as I walked in, I felt so welcome and I was seated right away. The place is beautiful and the seating and the overall vibe was immaculate. It was so cute I had to take pictures of the actual inside of the restaurant. The workers were incredibly kind and the service was quick and also amazing as well. The overall ambiance of the place was amazing and it's perfect for pictures!! I got the honey toast and the strawberry milk float -- and both were amazing and worth the whole experience. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone who wants to eat something whether it be breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or dessert. The quality of the honey toast was unlike anything I have ever had before. It was life-changing and also served beautifully. I can't believe I've gone my whole life without having the honey toast from here. The strawberry milk float was perfect and complimented the meal so well. I actually don't believe that I could ever get better service or better toast from somewhere ever again. Whenever I need to satisfy my toast cravings I will always come here and only come here. I would work here if I could because of how amazing this place is and how friendly everyone was. I hope this place opens up more locations and soon, because it's not possible for this place to be so hidden when it's just that good. Overall I really love this place despite only finding about it recently and having it one time so far, and I just think that this restaurant is doing everything right when it comes to food and quality. Keep it up and I know I will be coming back soon!

    The best crepes in Danville, worthy of a trip all the way from Castro Valley. Brown Butter has been in our bi-weekly weekend brunch for quite a few months to the point that Apple already knows our order before we walk in, service is so friendly and warm, worth it on its own, let alone the fantastic crepes and toasts. My favorite drink they serve is a lychee iced tea.

    Mango crape

    First time here, and the outdoor area is so pretty. As soon as we walked in, it felt warm, welcoming, and cozy, the interior is really nice. Customer service is top-notch. Everyone greeted us with a smile, and even another employee who walked by made sure to say hello. We ordered a hot mocha, and it was delicious, I loved it! We'll definitely be back to grab a bite. We finally dined in and customer service was amazing, the presentation of the items we ordered looked so pretty, we tried mango crape OOOMMMGGG DELICIOUS it was filled with mangoes worth every penny then the mocha looked so so so pretty!

    Menu is unique, crepes are full of flavor! We ordered a few crepes to share: - Mushroom, cheese and spinach was really my favorite. Sounds so simple but the house sauce they use really brought everything together! I would HIGHLY recommend this whether you're vegetarian or not, this is a must try. - chicken pesto: this one was really good as well! Always love a good chicken and pesto combo. Flavors definitely were not lacking. - Thai: this was probably my least favorite, only because it was more on the sweet side (probably from the shredded pork) than it was spicy and savory, which was what I was hoping for. I still think the flavor was unique and good, it just wasn't my favorite "savory" crepe here. - Mango ice cream: this was pretty good, I honestly didn't care for all the whipped cream it was packed with. It's definitely refreshing. - Ube fried crepe: this lacked the Ube flavor so wasn't really what I was expecting but not bad. It also came with cilantro and while it wasn't bad with the Ube, I just didn't really think it was GREAT combo. Overall, everything is good, I just think it depends on your expectations and experience with flavor.... For example, if you're a huge Ube person, I'm not 100% sure you'd love the Ube dessert, if you're expecting savory and a bit of spicy, I'm not sure you'd want to do the Thai. Service was wonderful, they check in your often and are very friendly!

    Brown Butter Café was such a pleasant surprise. I went for brunch with my friend and we got the mango mania and the shibuya toast. The honey toast was everything. I literally love honey toast and it's so hard to find unless you're in SF/Berkeley, so this really made my day. It was so good and I genuinely enjoyed every bite. I feel like I've walked past this spot so many times whenever I'm in Blackhawk Plaza, but I'm so glad I finally tried it. It's such a low key, cute spot. The inside is super aesthetic and cozy, and the owners were incredibly kind. I'm not sure if it's a husband and wife duo or family run, but they were so sweet and kept checking in on us, which made the experience even nicer. I'll definitely be back and I'm so happy I finally stopped in

    Spinach, Mushroom & Cheese... not a lot of filling as you can see.
    Carmen L.

    Came here with a friend after a hike. This place is small but cute. We ordered the spinach mushrooms cheese crepes and I also had a match latte. I really enjoyed the crepes but would be good if there were more filling. The matcha latte was really good... bitter and sweet at the same time. Service was good but they forgot our drinks and it took quite a while for the food to be served. Will be back.

    Strawberry and banana crepe

    Awesome food and service every time I come here. They have a great selection and the owner is super nice. The store ambiance is great as well

    First time here with friend, very cafe style with outdoor seating and made it very comfy. Ordered Thai Tea Float and Thai Style Street Food Prik Pao Moo Yong. Thai Tea Float: Taste just right, unlike Thai tea at boba shop that made too sweet, but not dry. Prik Pao Moo Yong: Never tried savory crepe, this one is a spicy dish and not over powering. Very flavorful. Wish they can give more salad on the side. Service: Excellent. Servers are very very friendly. Recommending this place for a light lunch.

    avocado toast
    Irena S.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon brunch after doing a head spa nearby, and it popped up on Yelp as a half mile away so my friend and I were like, why not? The pics looked so cute. My order was the strawberry matcha latte ($7.50) and the avocado toast ($17.95). We came around 1:30pm and it was not crowded at all, but I could see it being really popular during earlier brunch time. Pros: - really nice service ! they were really patient with us and the food came out pretty quickly - The matcha latte was DELICIOUS but it definitely is like an extra dessert when it comes to calories LOL it came with beautiful whipped cream - but I thoroughly really enjoyed it and I actually think it was worth the $7+ dollars. Impressively this was my favorite part of the meal and I could see myself coming back for this. - The avocado toast was really beautifully plated, really pretty presentation. I also loved the little spicy chili that came with it - Clean bathroom - Very plentiful parking - Really cute vibes! It's like a half outdoor cafe /breakfast place with indoor and outdoor open seating so you can choose if you want to be in the sun or the shade. I loved that there were elderly people just hanging out there all day. - I like that the menu isn't too overwhelming, a short two pages so it's easier to make decisions, and it's well organized so you can find what you want. Cons: - I think due to the price of the avocado toast I expected either thicker eggs, more avocado, or more side salad, but it still tasted really good, I just wasn't super full. I do really want to come again to get that matcha strawberry latte again though! it was really the perfect ratio and balance of bitter and sweet

    Thai crepe
    Hanna L.

    Cute and welcoming interior. The savory crepe with Thai street food theme menu was pretty delicious. It had seasoned shredded dried pork inside that paired well with the crispy crepe. All ingredients felt fresh. It was a bit on the sweeter side -- the majority of their menues are on the sweeter side, which I would be cautious about especially after a workout. Would like to try other menues

It wasn't too busy during our visit, with a few people enjoying their ice cream on the patio. They have quite a few flavors to choose from, including some interesting ones like Honey Candied Kumquat. We asked a few questions and sampled some flavors before deciding, although I have to say the service was pretty mediocre--the staff didn't seem too enthusiastic or helpful. We ended up keeping it classic with the strawberry. I could definitely tell they use fresh, quality ingredients, but personally the flavor and texture just didn't stand out much to my taste buds. Overall, cute shop with some creative flavors and fresh ingredients, but my first experience was just okay. Maybe I'll have better luck with a different flavor next time!

But my favorite starter was definitely the Di Stefano Burrata, a round of cheese with a creamy center, served with toast and grilled prosciutto-wrapped peaches, which added the perfect salty and sweet flavor to complement the cheese. For our mains, we had the King Salmon, served over a corn and bean succotash and topped with pesto sauce; the juicy Cider Brined Duroc Pork Chop, served with spinach and potato gratin; the Wagyu Beef Burger, served on a challah bun; and my favorite, the Duck Confit, a crispy and tender leg of duck, served over Parmesan polenta and Swiss chard.

And you can't leave without trying their soft serve. The fish-shaped cone is fun on its own, but the unique soft serve flavors make it special. It's creative, delicious, and something you can't find anywhere nearby. It's heartbreaking that they're closing sometime March. Places that put this much care into both flavor and creativity deserve better. If you've ever thought about trying it, now is the time. Local gems like this don't come around often -- and they shouldn't disappear quietly.
