horrible service! – I don't think that I have ever had a good experience here. Why do I keep going you ask? Well I live in the neighborhood and since I can walk there it's a matter of convenience, desperation for coffee or trying to give my local cafe another chance. It's almost like they hire rude people on purpose. No greeting, smile, eye contact etc..slow ass service even on a slow day; I have waited as long as 8mins for a Chai tea!! (owner made) this happened at night and I was the only one at the counter.I figure it was... read more

HAIR AND FLIES ON FOOD! OWNER & STAFF DIDN'T MIND! – I just got back from my walk to (and quickly from) Butter. Let me tell ya, I'm never attempting to eat there again. I wanted to contribute to the Eating for Art opportunity today (a percentage of participating local restaurants' proceeds from today will go to neighborhood art programs), but I'll need to go somewhere else other than butter - someplace that's sanitary. I walked in and scanned the pastry case for their "Award-winning eclairs." As I ordered from the girl behin... read more

Favorite coffee shop in South MPLS – Butter is so sunny and warm and I just had to respond to the negative comments. Sometimes it gets really busy, so things move a little slow sometimes, but that's okay with me. And while I've only had good experiences with the employees there, no place has 100% happy employees 100% of the time. For some background: Dan, the current owner, bought the place about two years ago, so one of the comments was actually about the previous owner (who, incidentally, now owns Urban Bean on Bryant). Da... read more

We were going to go... – Thanks for the reviews. We were planning to try this place but after reading the reviews we're sticking with The OPH. Thanks for saving us a long drive and paying a bad man to stay in business.

no thanks. – Super rude! I stopped in to get a dessert and the man working was all snotty! I just cannot understand why someone would be like that. I was friendly and everything, and just really got attitude - like maybe I didn't quite understand how cool they all are, and please don't talk to them. Sad. Unhappy. Oh, and also, the cupcake was all dried out.

Fine, if the owner's not working – If you happen to go, avoid the owner or expect to be treated very badly. Tried to get breakfast there but made the mistake of sitting at the counter and placing my order, instead of ordering at the cash register as is the protocol. The owner took my order. When it never came up, he told me it was my fault, and that I hadn't actually been sitting there for 40 minutes. The fare looks good. Never managed to try it.

It's obvious after one delicious bite that this coffeehouse-bakery is named for its number one ingredient. – The Scene When the neighborhood bakery Sweetski's closed in 2003, regulars mourned the loss of some of the best baked goods in the Cities. Thankfully, those legendary eclairs can still be found at the Wedge and a few other places. But they're still available in their original home, aptly renamed Butter and reincarnated as an urban coffeehouse decked out with brushed steel, sharp corners and tortured art that don't qui... read more
