Excellent pastries! OK coffee... service kinda slow during the rush, I wish the cashier could just grab a party if that's all you're getting

Two words: breakfast sandwich. You'll thank me later, I promise. The end my friends :) read more

We had a great first visit today! Nice, easy curbside ordering (though it looks like they also have great order ahead options, if you plan a day or two in advance) and friendly service. Our favorites were the jam bun, chocolate chip cookie, pull-apart bread, and almond cornmeal cake--and we'll be back to try more soon! read more

Not only are the pastries amazing, they have taken great precautions with online ordering and outdoor orders and pickup! I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Butternut Bakehouse - Tomato cheese, almond apple, ham/cheese, blueberry danish, apple fritter and a pretzel! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Massachusetts

I am usually not a fan of bakeries, but Butternut is in a class of its own. They have a huge diversity of pastries, buns, scones, breads, and cookies that really appeals to the different tastes in my family. My personal favorite is the honey salted butternut biscuit. I also appreciate that they always have vegan options and savory/meat options so typically folks can find what they want. Coffee is also above average in my opinion. Expect some lines and note that they open late for a bakery (in my opinion). read more

3.6 Seems like a solid place. The brownie thing was pretty good. Scone was average lacking in flavor. They shouldn't put oily things in the paper bags. Maybe get some wax paper bags? Service okay. Bread looked good but didn't want whole loaf. read more

5 star for taste, 3 stars on service (not sure if it's poorer due to covid). I've enjoyed all the items from here, particularly love the ham and cheese croissant and chocolate almond croissant. A bit pricey, but always satisfying. I gotta say I find the service really inefficient though and the line backs up quick. It seems insane that if 3 people are in front of us, it takes over 10 minutes to serve them. They should look into having someone out front taking orders and someone else assembling the orders. read more

Very close to where I work so I try different treats often, and everything is delicious! Service is quick for how busy they can get. Ordering can be confusing for a first timer when it's outside, but they do have a sign. I recommend the sea salt chocolate chip cookies, the savory buns, and the danishes, just for starters! Also their latte is insanely good--I'm not usually a coffee person, and I love getting an iced latte there. Anyway, enjoy supporting a local business and eating delicious treats! read more

We have ordered several times in the past few months. Always easy to order by phone and do curbside pickups. Friendly staff, amazing hot coffee, poured just when you arrive! The pastries are delicious and varied. Really the best around Arlington/Lexington/Belmont. We got chocolate chip cookies by mistake last week but they were so good we were very happy to have them. We will absolutely keep ordering from this bakery. read more

It was my first experience at the bakery and it was a great one. For starters, they were playing Lana Del Rey, which made my experience an instant 10/10- but the food was also delicious. I got a chocolate mocha and even though the takeout cups LEAKED i still really enjoyed everything (: I've been again since and the service is always so nice! read more

I was only here for breakfast and was immediately impressed with the croissants here. As they were on par with Iggys. I also had an opportunity to try a variety of other baked goods as I went with my family who got a variety. The scone I tried was perfect and not to sweet, the bite of raspberry muffin I had was moist and also not too sweet. The almond croissant was delicious and had a generous amount of filling. Both the plain and ham and cheese croissant were soft and buttery inside and perfectly flaky outside. Lastly, the karma coffee was a nice touch, as i feel it is one of the better coffee options around. I noticed they also have a few gluten free pastries as well, egg sandwiches, and lunch foods so it feels all around like a great addition to this neighborhood. read more

Breakfast sandwich with paprika was fantastic. Great coffee. Super friendly service and calming decor. I look forward to returning.

The croissants and the apple fritters are delicious. Highly recommend them. We also got a chocolate cake to take to a party. Everyone loved it. read more

We stopped in for a quick cup of coffee. Staff was pleasant, but provided misinformation in regards to the hand pie filling (she said mushroom, but that was the quiche flavor and the hand pie was cauliflower curry). She also asked what milk I'd like in my coffee, I said 1%, and she used 2%. Food and drinks were tasty, so I might consider coming back. read more

Everything we tried was delicious. The biscuit with strawberries and cream reminded me of high tea but in a more portable form. It was better than the tea and scones with fruit and cream that I had in London. The tea was great. The sea salt chocolate chip cookie my husband got was awesome. They just just opened and they are doing great. I will be making a visit to them part of my routine. read more

Super cute bakery! Went in on a spur of the moment just to try it and fell in love! I go almost every weekend now! I tried a new thing each time but always as an add on to the Apple Fritters (available saturdays) are by far the best things I've ever had!! And that is knowing everything I have order has been delish! As long as they keep making those apple fritters I will be there! read more

Butternut Bakehouse absolutely owns the "croissant+" market. Don't miss the egg croissant or potato croissant or everything croissant. Also one of the best chocolate chip cookies you can find in Boston. read more

Oh my goodness. Finally made it here this morning as a reward for getting errands done in the heat. Pain au chocolate and almond croissant were delicious, with terrific contrast between crisp-on-the-browned-outside flaky pastry and rich filling (just the right amount), and the savory ham and cheese croissant had the same utterly wonderful flaky layers. Morning bun had amazing browned caramel notes--it's not nearly as sweet as its sugar topping suggests. Very tender insides under the crispy crust. Chocolate chip cookie was delicious but maybe actually a little too rich--needs ice cream. Can't wait to try the Almond Cornmeal Raspberry Cake. read more

Shop is small but well provisioned; I love how you can see the staff preparing treats in the kitchen! Their morning bun might be the most delicious thing I've ever eaten. read more

Stopped in yesterday around 1:30pm, my first visit. I'm sorry to write that I was a bit disappointed --- not much to offer in the case, perhaps because of the time of day??? I had been hoping for more, I'll stop in again, but I do expect a "bakery" to offer a host of things (cupcakes, pastries, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.). read more

The iced coffee was smooth as silk and the croissants were flaky and tender as one would want in a French classic. The scones were also yummy and more bread-like, which is what I prefer. I like how it's further away from the center of Arlington so there's more parking. Look forward to returning! read more

After searching several local bakeries for a birthday carrot cake, no raisins, yes to nuts, I found Butternut Bakehouse. The little bakery itself is lovely and filled with a couple/few dozen treats and breads in the display cases, any of which I would have gladly eaten. The carrot cake was sublime. Everyone agreed, best ever. The cream cheese frosting was not over-sweet, cloying, as it is in some carrot cakes. The birthday greeting on top and somehow-sweetened treatment of the decorative chips of carrots all along the edge were delicious. The price was fair, and we will definitely go back to Butternut any time we want to order another delicacy. The consistency of the cake was perfect. Note-I couldn't resist the rhubarb tart for my husband, who said it was a fantastic sweet treat this AM. read more

I love Butternut Bakehouse! I used to live a couple of blocks away and frequented Butternut pretty much daily. All of the baked goods and sandwiches are delicious. I have too many favorites to list. I can say that I can't resist the morning buns and the chocolate cake is the best I have ever had. The coffee is terrific, too. Karma brand. I now live in Maine and do I ever miss Butternut! Today I stopped by and am so happy to have enjoyed sugary, buttery taste of the morning bun after a long time -- as well as the iced latte. Suzana and all of the staff are as wonderful as the food and beverages. read more

Best latte and chocolate croissant I've ever had or will have! Lovely customer service. We love a woman owned business

Yikes, I tried the Saturday-special apple fritters (and I'm neither an apple nor a fritter fan) and it blew me out of the park--would give six stars if possible. Love their other items too, but can only eat in moderation (lots of--surprise--butter in everything they make). read more

Very good bakery. We especially like the blackberry tart, the breakfast sandwich, and the Vietnamese coffee. But I think the absolute best thing they make is the little round peach cakes. I think they're only seasonal, so if they're available you should definitely try one. read more

Food is good but won't be back because of the experience. Everything and everyone moves at a sloth's pace. Can't even order online ahead of time on the same day so you're forced to stand in a glacially slow moving line. read more

Food is very good but the coffee is trash. I got a "hot" cup of coffee and it was room temperature to cold. Would not recommend for coffee at all if that is the standard. read more

An absolutely charming coffee shop and bakery. Wonderful addition to the neighborhood, with delicious baked goods. Can't recommend the breakfast sandwich highly enough! read more

They were catering at an event, and I got to try the Chocolate Bouchon, a small but deadly cone of chocolate cake with fudge inside. A little volcano of flavor. Will have to try their shop. read more

Delicious, cheesy quiche. Light on the broccoli and not heated evenly in their microwave, but overall a nice snack/light breakfast! Staff is friendly and welcoming added bonus read more

Butternut Bakehouse - Broccoli and cheese quiche $6/slice - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arlington, Massachusetts

The best in town: amazing selection, generous flaky pastry, perfect coffee, innovative flavors. Highly recommend.

This place is AMAZING!!! During COVID, they had very easy order ahead or ordering at the window. Oatmilk latte and egg sandwich were a simple but amazing duo. The egg sandwich has so many good flavors and is a good morning portion. Cannot wait to go back!! read more

Literally everything is good at Butternut. I have had hand pies, coffee, and an assortment of baked goods from there and they never disappoint. read more

Okay bakery but poor marks overall as Butternut has decided to takeover the public right of way (the sidewalk) to accommodate their cart and huge sign. Should you have a wheelchair, stroller or need to pass another pedestrian you are forced out into the street just to get around the cart and sign. Not very supportive of ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) families or the town. Got to give them one star due to their lack of consideration and compliance. read more

Every pastry I've tried is delicious - from the jam buns to the morning buns to the savory croissants. Flaky and tender. The breakfast sandwich (served on focaccia with lots of mayo) was disappointing to me (but my mother loved it...). I had a turmeric tea latte, and it was disappointing (the tea was not brewed strongly enough). read more

I've tried almost every bakery in Arlington and I can say, hands down this is MY new favorite. The morning bun is my favorite. Warm at 7:30 am, dream come true. The ISA which should stand for Isn't She Amazing (for the Baker who invented this). Blueberries, ricotta, lemon. I died! I hear the scones are delicious too. Until next time. read more

It was easy to order over the phone and my order was ready for me when I came to pick it up. I haven't tried all of the treats yet but the Kouign Amann was one of the best things I have ever eaten. How have I never heard of one before? Highly recommend! read more

Scrumptious pastries, both sweet and savory with lots of variety, all baked perfectly. Good coffee too.

We're long-time supporters of Suzana and her baked creations...what a joy to visit her new Bakehouse yesterday! Pleasant surroundings, happy and welcoming staff, and a delicious turkey sandwich...hoping to find almond croissants and morning buns next visit! read more
