    Such a lovely experience at Buttercup Cafe! The service was super friendly and helpful, the speciality lattes were 10/10 and we loved both the Farmstand scramble and the Sunrise Toast. Would absolutely come back to Buttercup again and try more delicious menu items!

    Buttercup Cafe is a nice little local stop on 6A in Cape Cod. Since I'm on the Cape, I don't want to set harsh mainland standards - I expect the price to be higher, for example - but how will it measure up locally? Ambiance - 5 stars. You come in to the muffin display. It doesn't look like a lot, but the dining space opens up in back. So you have your choice of a quick pickup or a longer schmooze. Service - 4.5 stars. Friendly, prompt. If there was one thing I'd suggest, ask your guests if there's anything they want. I offered a couple of times - hot sauce please, more water please - but shouldn't have to raise my hand to get those for a true 5 star rating. But it's nitpicky so minimal deduction. Food: Well, it's the meals that set me on 4 stars. The special Benedict was good, but only good. The eggs were done nicely - not totally runny, not totally set. Not a lot on my plate for the money. Wish there were more home fries and more biscuit to contribute value to the order. Maybe just home fries; biscuits are rather plain by definition and these were no exception. As for my friend's dish, the cranberry bread was wonderful but overpowered the French aspect. It didn't really egg up - like, use THIS for your Benedict where I can enjoy some delicious fresh bread. Wondering if they test bake their specials before putting them up to the public - that'd be another recommendation. In the end, a couple of fine tweaks only. And as I saw someone else mentioned... see if you can get real maple syrup on hand. Even if it's an upcharge, it's welcome for breakfast.

    This is how they do it!

    What?! I was getting hangry so we just pulled in (really lucky to grab one of the two parking spots in front and no line out the door! Guess everyone was at the beach!). It's small but opens up. Greeted by a smoothie counter and a pastry evil temptation display, you will find a counter and tables in the back. Their specialty is breakfast and sandwich lunch as it is a café. Coffee is decent. But what knocked my socks off was the manager Erica, and their really delicious turkey Swiss and fig sandwich. From the minute, they served it. I looked at my husband and said "oh my God, they roast their turkey"!. They do. And it made me happy. He ordered a Reuben and it wouldn't surprise me if they make their own pastrami. They do. And while some people here complain about their price, giving what they're serving I would expect to pay $11-$15 anywhere for that sandwich. Which I did, for $15 I brought back half of my sandwich - multigrain bread, grilled onions, Swiss cheese, bacon, a nice pile of turkey and fig jam. It hit all the notes! The only thing my husband would've done different with his Ruben was asked for more dressing on the side. He felt it was low on the dressing, but some people don't like their sandwich soppy like he does. Every time somebody offers, housemate potato chips, I go for them. And I'm glad I did! It's clear that the owner takes huge pride in this little hole in the wall breakfast place that is noisy, attracts a cult, serves good coffee, decent portions and food that is very well prepared. If you're going to charge $15 for a sandwich with a side of house made potato chips, this is what you want to be eating. On the downside parking is sketchy. However, there is parking behind the buildings across the street. People just don't want to be crossing the road, but you can find parking back there. The owners would like to put tables outside, but one of the servers was commenting that either the market or dolphin restaurant had a little bit of a problem with them putting tables in front of the property since parking is such a problem, I don't think they want people parking in their spots to come over to this place for breakfast. Not sure if I agree or disagree, but it is tight and I'm assuming that both of those business is also have a lot of people traffic. All in all, I can't wait to come back for breakfast!!!

    Randomly stumbled on this cafe and it was worth it! Came in on a Wednesday morning with no wait time. Was greeted right away and staff were very friendly. The service was quick too. Food and drinks were good. So glad the waitress told me about the side syrup for The Frenchy (French toast breakfast sandwich). Such a cute spot!

    Stopped by after a 3-hour kayaking trip. The food was so good. It really hit the spot! It was about 1:30-2pm on a Sunday and was a full house inside and outside of the restaurant. We sat at the counter. The food and service were excellent! We took some baked good home.

    Freshy Salad

    My husband and I took a trip down to the Cape Cod area, it was our first time visiting. Perfect timing as it was off season and didn't have to worry about the crowds. The morning that we were returning back home, we stopped by the Buttercup Cafe for brunch. My husband ordered the Freshy salad, pretty much a breakfast bowl which he enjoyed a lot, along with the peanut butter smoothie. I ordered a customized omelette that came with home fries. The home fries was slightly disappointed, it was seasoned just felt slightly raw. I also ordered a Belgian waffle on the side. The waffle itself was addicting, loved it. The omelette was fine, nothing outstanding. Service was great, overall we can't complain about our visit :)

The…read morebluefish pate itself was good, but rather on the salty side, so serving it with salt and vinegar chips made it pretty much inedibly salty (this was taken off the bill when the bartender noticed we didn't eat more than one bite each). My first glass of vinho verde wine was served at room temperature (the second was fine), and the side plate I was given was crusted with dried food residue. I also watched an employee behind the bar wipe her nose with her hand and then continue slicing citrus barehanded. The chicken empanadas were good but not particularly special. We also had one of the small pizzas, which was the best thing of the night, crispy and flavorful (with a little char at the edges, which we like). The decor is a little bananas (different shades of green between the walls, the napkins, the barstools, and the banquettes; five kinds of lighting fixtures; lots of sound and lighting items with exposed, hasty-looking wiring). The bathroom door doesn't really close and lock properly. And the restaurant is really loud, even half full. The writing on the menu, about family members and special recipes, tells me that there's pride here and real care about making a good restaurant. However, without the attention to detail (particularly cleanliness and hygiene!), that's kind of moot. Three stars instead of two here because the pizza was good and the staff obviously care about customers.

The restaurant was quite busy when we arrived, but since we had reservations we were seated right away. Our server was friendly and took the time to walk us through the menu and highlight the nightly specials. In the end, we all decided on the prix fixe menu, which included an appetizer, entrée, and dessert--an excellent value considering the quality and generous portion sizes. After placing our orders, our server returned with our drinks along with a basket of warm rolls and soft butter, a nice touch to start the meal. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the interior is surprisingly spacious. From the outside, you'd never guess how large the restaurant actually is. To start, I ordered the short rib and fontina arancini, which were outstanding. The portion was generous--honestly large enough to be a meal on its own. My wife began with the Caesar salad, which was crisp, fresh, and nicely balanced without being overly dressed. For our main course, my wife and I both chose the crab-stuffed sole. It was excellent and, once again, the portion size was impressive. We even had enough leftovers to make another meal the next day. By the end of the meal we were so full that we decided to take our desserts--New York-style cheesecake and tiramisu--home to enjoy later. There's plenty of parking available, and I'd definitely recommend making reservations, especially on busy nights. Overall, it was a great meal with generous portions, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. I'd happily return

My boyfriend and I had such a great experience here our first night of vacation that we decided to come back our second night. So we went to the hostess and said table for 2 and took the buzzer and were told 45 minute wait. It was an hour wait but I loved the experience and was ok with waiting. So when our buzzer buzzed. I headed to the hostess stand and there was a long line. I didn't want to be rude so I said the lead hostess "hey I just got a buzz" she said "ok maam I will be right with you." She continued to take down the names of the multiple groups of people in line. I decided that I would go to the back of the line to be respectful. As we were just about to near the front I hear her say "table ___ is a no show we are giving away to table ___" the people she gave the table to were people who were bothering her about the long wait time while my boyfriend and I patiently waited. She went to then give me ANOTHER buzzer as she gave our table away although we were there on time and then ignored. I gave the new buzzer back to her and told her that we previously were there with our buzzer and told her and she told us to wait a minute but ignored us. My boyfriend chimed in to say that he saw her give the table away to the next people on the list that were bothering her while we patiently waited. The hostess didn't say sorry and let us leave after we were very respectful. As someone in the industry it breaks my heart. I have been in her position and have done everything I could to make it right and to allow my guests to have the best experience possible. All she did was stare at us as we expressed concern. I was deeply hurt after this interaction and left wondering what I did wrong. All I tried to do was be a loyal customer and be respectful and I was patient and was punished for being patient and respectful. All I want is some recognition and apology.

This is a really appealing, intimate, mom and pop (and summer help waitress) place. The hostess/ front of house boss, who was operating from the bar of this 10-12 table location, was gracious and endearing (in the way that an almost overbearing host can be- that meant as a compliment). The drinks took a minute, my fiancé's salad needed blue cheese brought out as it was left off (single most off-putting thing: the waitress, I suspect language mastery being the cause of this rather than malice or willful deceit, flat out told her that blue cheese did not come with the wedge salad...but when boss lady at the bar was asked, this was quickly corrected), there was a heavy does of reggae music. All of this less than optimal. The food was very good, though I can't remember off the top of my head what I had (it's been a month). Nor did I take pics: it seemed like it'd detract from the experience. There weren't any complaints about the food from others. (So I went back and looked at the menu: potstickers as an app- pretty good; baked local seafood as the main- good, but it is what it is in that not a ton of nuance added so as to let the seafood do the talking. The portion was decent for the price. I didn't leave stuffed, but for $38, very reasonable.) All in all, the first visit merits a second visit next year (as the website says they are temporarily closed to seek new management).
