    Sweet treat
    Chieko C.

    Stopped by this place for a sweet treat and they were pretty good! The service was great, friendly staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was small and they also served drinks too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Passionfruit Yuzu, Matcha Strawberry and Lychee Rose
    Anna D.

    Great for a midday or after dinner dessert! I was there around 7:30 today on a Sunday, and they were open until 9. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's seating for maybe 10 people and it's very yellow tiles and cutesy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have tons of cool merch for sale too. I didn't get a drink today but I want to try the hojicha chai latte next time. Now the cream puffs! They were goooooood - smaller than I expected at first but I'd definitely get them again. My favorite was the rose lychee which was VERY surprising to me because I usually don't like rose. Not too sweet hahaha, subtle rose flavor. The strawberry matcha was exactly that, pretty good, and then the passionfruit was really good except I don't like yuzu but my friend that does really like the little yuzu chewy bits inside.

    Matcha Cookie Croissant and Apple Cider Donut

    Ordered the Matcha Cookie Croissant and Apple Cider Donut. I was extremely impressed by the cookie croissant--can't say I've ever seen another bakery pull this off. It was exactly right level of sweetness I was looking for (which is relatively leaner sweeter than average). The donut was gluten-free among several other items as well. Came into the shop during the last hour so the cream puffs were sold out. Will have to come back! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is super duper cute. I would come back just to take photos of the inside alone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The worker was very kind and amiable as well. Accommodating and eager, I would even say.

    Tiramisu Cream Puff (gluten free)

    Their gluten free cream puffs were wonderful. I actually couldn't tell they were gluten free and I'm so happy I could eat my favorite sweet treat again. Friendly staff.

    This was the most refreshing cream puff I've had especially during this NYC heat. I highly recommend everyone come for a cool refreshing bite of a cream puff at Butter Dose. Their menu of cream puffs range from Ube Coconut to Tiramisu. An extra plus about their menu is that they breakdown, explain each cream puff and what's inside. For example, I ordered a Chocolate Banana which has a caramelized banana on top and banana slice inside mixed with the cream. This was too pretty to eat that I had to snap multiple pics to capture it. Once I took that first messy bite, I was surprised how cool and refreshing it was. I'm aware these need to be refrigerated to keep cool but sometimes it can dull the flavor and taste more like a refrigerated/chilled item. But not Butter Dose, it keeps it that cool level while still maintain that flavorful taste and looks pretty for a mini foodie photoshoot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also the decor of the space was such a vibrant yellow and chill lounge spot with the various decoration of vacation destination items.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]As well as books that you can grab and read while eating your sweets or sipping your drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Do stop by, say hello to the cashier who was very sweet just like the cream puffs they sell because he explained each one to me as well as being patient with me while I was deciding.

    Awhile our gluten-free adventures in Manhattan. We decided to check out a list of spots. Butter Dose 236 E 13th St, New York, NY Heard so much about these gluten-free cream puffs, most of their items were gluten-free. Had to try their crème puffs. That's what we are there for. These crème puffs were bite size. [Looks big from the angle shot] $3.75 each - Black sesame - Mango Sago is good, but it doesn't have that strong mango taste. I also saw they have gluten-free ice cream sandwiches. They were unique in their flavors. I got the matcha cookie with jasmine ice cream. The matcha cookie was good and it also had white chocolate chips. So it wasn't too much of a matcha. It had a slight sweetness to it. Their lemonade drinks weren't too good. The lemonade had no sugar and the mango lemonade was super tart. But overall, the highlight was their black sesame crème puffs. Few blocks away from union square Trains nearby 6NRQW to union sq Street parking [best to take MTA] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Limited seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bathroom for customers Cash/card accepted

    We had high hopes for Butterdose, especially with a name that promises rich, buttery pastries--but sadly, it didn't deliver. We tried their cream puffs (Ube and Sriracha Mango) and a croissant, and everything was seriously underwhelming. The Ube puff was barely flavored--so light it bordered on bland. As for the Sriracha Mango, the flavor combo was confusing at best and just didn't work. It felt like a gimmick that didn't go through enough testing. The croissant was the biggest letdown. For a place with "butter" in the name, there was a noticeable lack of it. No flakiness, no rich, indulgent flavor--just dry and forgettable. I've had better croissants from Costco. Overall, it feels like Butterdose is more about aesthetic/social media hype than actual baking quality. We won't be coming back.

    Loved this place, was my first time here and I really enjoy it. The matcha strawberry was yummy, if you're a tea fan get their strawberry oolong tea, I'm craving it now, just think about it. You get the full tea taste and the sweetness from the strawberry. A must try!

    I wish I could start every morning with delicious pastries and baked goods from here! This place is an affordable and local, family-owned pastry cafe in the East Village! They're known for their cream puffs, which come bite-sized and wonderfully crafted into different flavors and toppings! There's a wide assortment of other delicious treats to choose from, including sweet or savory biscuits, cookie croissants and cheesecake, plus all sorts of coffee and matcha drinks to choose from. So tasty!! You can't go wrong treating yourself to something here!

    They have gluten free creme puffs! I ordered an ube coconut, yuzu passionfruit, and goma (black sesame) and ube was my favorite. They start selling creme puffs at 12PM and usually sell out of specific flavors quickly

    1.5/2 Food + Beverages; 0.5/1 Value; 1/1 Ambience; 1/1 Service I came across Butter Dose spontaneously strolling one night around Gramercy in need of a serious pick-me-up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior decor is charming and the cafe is spacious-- I imagine it would make a fantastic spot for productive studying or work on a difference occasion.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The barista was friendly and enthusiastic in lending his expertise in helping me select my pastry. Although I'm not normally a fan of cream puffs, I am glad that I discovered Butter Dose. The lychee rose flavor was light, well-balanced, not too sweet, and so fragrant! The pastry was light and airy, and the filling was not at all greasy or dense. I also got a matcha latte with skim milk, which was okay, but rather dilute. The cream puffs are on the smaller size for the price, but overall a good value given the overall quality.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very cute interior![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We came to check this place out on a Saturday afternoon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty busy but we were able to get seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We tried the ube and lychee cream puffs. Both were underwhelming honestly. I was not able to taste the flavor and just tasted cream. We also tried the ube cheesecake, which also lacked flavor. However, the matcha crookie was the star of the show. I would come back just for that!

    This used to be my favorite Italian bakery. I haven't been to this bakery in years like ten years…read moresince I was a teenager. Today I decided to make a special trip to go here to grab a few goodies. I forgot how small the place was and how low the ceilings were. That wasn't an issue though. The place was nice and cakes were stacked neatly. What was surprising to me is that they don't have any cookies laid in the front display. It's all placed in the back almost hidden. I was deeply disappointed with their cookie selection. It was deeply surprising that they don't sell the butter cookies that had jam in the middle and dipped with chocolate on one side with sprinkles. I did ask the clerk and even showed him a pic of what I was looking for and he said they never sold them. They only had the linzer cookies and they didn't look so good. They also did not have the lobster tail. They did have the sfogliatelle which they also called a lobster tail. I thought they were not the same? Some bakeries sell both and they are definitely not the same. I did end up buying one of their sfogliatelle with cream and some rugelachs. The sfogliatelle was good but the rugelachs tasted slightly underbaked. It did taste fresh though unlike many I've had in other bakeries. However, for $28 per pound, I wouldn't get it again. For those not having lobster tail and not having the Italian cookies, I will have to give Veniero's a low rating. I never thought an Italian bakery would not carry staples. Very disappointed. I need to find another Italian bakery now.

I had to run to work after an appointment so I ordered for takeout. The person taking my order was friendly. I opted for the Lumberjack and a black cold brew. I received the drink very quickly, with a short wait for the sandwich. While waiting, one member of the staff stocking up supplies on the side started chatting with me and then she offered to check up on my sandwich. She came out with it shortly thereafter. She was very friendly and helpful. The sandwich held up well during my 15-minute commute to the office. It is a really indulgent sandwich, with each bite revealing the sweetness and butteriness of the maple crueller, the saltiness of the thick cut bacon, and the savoriness of the cheese and the eggs as the yolks popped. I sipped the cold brew in between bites to cut the richness. It was a very satisfying meal. The Lumberjack is not something I would recommend you eat every day, but it's good as an occasional treat. In the past I've ordered lunch from Daily Provisions via delivery (the "Chefy" salad and the chicken milanese with arugula salad are my favorites), but I might start adding other breakfast sandwiches to the mix.

I had never heard of the place before, but I was happy to give it a try -- and I'm so glad I did. From the moment you walk in, the experience feels special. The store has two beautiful double doors that create such a grand entrance, and once inside, you immediately feel the energy. The place was bustling with people, and everyone seemed happy and excited -- from the customers to the team behind the counter and the baristas. The cookie case was overflowing with so many amazing choices that it was hard to decide! I ended up getting the Rocky Road cookie, a Double Chocolate Chip cookie, a Two Chip Chocolate Chip cookie, and a blueberry muffin to enjoy for breakfast the next morning. The service was absolutely impeccable, and everyone I interacted with was warm, friendly, and delightful. When I got home, I had half of the Rocky Road cookie with a cup of tea, and it was incredible. The cookie was large and chunky but still perfectly enjoyable -- not heavy or overwhelming. It literally melted in my mouth. The chocolate was rich and smooth, and every bite was just delicious. The next morning, I tried the blueberry muffin, and it was just as impressive. It was light and airy, not overly sweet like many blueberry muffins can be. It truly felt like a breakfast pastry. The blueberries tasted fresh and burst with flavor in every bite. I will definitely be back for more cookies. This was such a wonderful find, and I'm so happy my coworker introduced me to this place!

I will say that I didn't think I would like this cookie at all since usually I like thinner crunchier cookies. But holy cow!!

For such a big cookie the middle was cooked perfectly. Very chunky and sizable cookie too so I ate it throughout the day rather than one sitting!!
