One of my go to study/work cafes in the city! Butter and Blhe is definetly a hidden gem. With aesthetic and cozy seating either in their outdoor patio, inside or basement, Butter and Blue has a place for everyone! The drinks are also incredible I have always been a big fan of their various Matchas and especially their desserts. I would highly reccomend checking this place out!

Overall, a below-average coffee shop experience—feels a bit “budget” and DIY. The matcha mochi cake was bland (more sweet rice flour than matcha), the Hong Kong milk tea lacked robustness, and the iced americano was just standard. Also worth noting: the air vents appeared to have mold coming out of them, which was off-putting.

Finally got around to trying this spot. There is seating inside and outside. Inside, you have seats in the main floor but also downstairs next to the restrooms. The strawberry matcha latte was decent, and the egg and hashbrown bread was interesting. Friendly staff. It's a good neighborhood spot.

This ranks in the top 10 cutest coffee shops I’ve ever been to. I got a delicious cardamom latte and a sticker sheet because I couldn’t resist how cute it was. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There was a nice variety of drinks. If I lived in Toronto I’d be here all of the time. Dear Butter & Blue, please open up a café in Alexandria, Virginia!

Cool spot on Baldwin, much bigger than anticipated. Small/cozy vibe. Lots of rooms/nooks. Good coffee and treats. I had an egg/bun/hashbrown thing with spicy mayo. It tasted pretty good. Experience/atmosphere was great as it felt like a hidden gem that I’ve walked past many times. I’ll be back to stress test the espresso.
