    I went twice on the weekend. First time I got a watermelon matcha which was really nice and refreshing. Second time I tried the ube puff and banana both were good and matcha over ice cream. The shop isnt that big but its cozy and has a few seats. Service was friendly.

    Sweet treat

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    Got the tiramisu cream puff and it absolutely delicious!! So soft and creamy!! Perfect mini cram puff!! Just loved the tiramisu flavor!

    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.

They've kept this place in good condition. Lots of seating and menus everywhere. It once was an Art Deco bank, you can kind of get the feel of that just from looking around. If you look at the mural behind the cash out point it gives you a little touch of history what once happened within these walls. I ordered the salmon toast. It was a little hard but I like the cream cheese was thinly spread not just thrown in like many places. The salmon was good and the mint tasted fresh. The capers were like slightly toasted and crispy, i've never had them like that before and I loved it. I think the toast was just missing a little drizzle of olive oil on top. To be honest, I think the capers were my favorite part. They were just this unique texture. I've never experienced before. I also got an iced lavender chai latte to go. It was so light and delightful, with the perfect blend of lavender. I really enjoyed this place and would totally come back again.

When you enter there is a bar you can sit at and two large high top tables next to it. As you walk further in there is a lounge with couches and various sizes tables. The whole space is surrounded by books! Heaven! We ordered a chai, matcha and a ginger cookie. Shout out to the woman taking my order for comping me my drink for my birthday! Everyone from the staff was friendly - I really enjoyed being there. The only thing I would say is someone should come by to check on the tables more often as I had to return other people's abandoned drinks. But you know what first world problems, am I right? Maybe they can have a sign or mention to customers to return their own cups before leaving. I sort of can't imagine why people don't... It is quite popular spot so you need to be very patient and strategic if you want to grab a table, as well as sprinkled with a little bit of luck. We unfortunately got there a little late. I went there at 3pm and hunted for a table and my friend got there by 330pm. By the time we ordered and started drinking our coffees - we were informed the lounge area will be closed at 4pm to prepare for the evening wine bar. Oh right this cafe turns into a wine bar in the evenings! How cool! At 4pm we thankfully grabbed one of the high tables - sharing it with another couple but it was large enough for the 4 of us. The lights dimmed and the atmosphere changed to more intimate. We unfortunately had to leave at 5pm, but I imagined picking up a James Baldwin book, ordering some white wine and enjoying both.... Mmm definitely next time. Maybe sometimes after work - sounds like a great wind down.

We tried the melon shaved ice $22 for the large which was a bit pricy but it was quite delicious. We were worried that the large might be too much for two people but honestly we were able to finish it without a problem. The melon pieces were sweet, the ice is milk based so it was creamy and flavorful on its own. We barely used the condensed milk that it came with (and we loved how they put it on the side for us instead). At the bottom of the shaved ice was cereal pieces and mochi which gave a nice different texture. We also tried their drinks specifically their blue lemonade and mango-ade which I thought was just ok. The highlight is definitely their shaved ice. Definitely go for the large as the small seemed much smaller and for double the price, you can get almost 2-3x more. Overall: it's a great place to grab a shaved ice and relax . The atmosphere is chill and you can stay without feeling rushed.
