Of all the little cafes that have occupied this space over the years, this one is the best. The coffees and teas are delicious, unique, and customizable. Amazing fresh pastry selections and the breakfast plates were better than our favorite place down in Sandwich. We will have to come here for lunch. Child friendly!

The welcome of this place — both the people and the food — is like a lovely hug! It’s a true neighborhood spot, a rarity these days. The breakfast food is always delicious and you can’t go wrong. The portions are generally very generous too.

This is my favorite breakfast place on upper Cape. The food is SO fresh and the staff always attentive and smiling. If you are lucky enough to be there on a day they have a chicken pot pie available, grab it! They are amazing!

From the outside it’s a cute place, the ambiance was warm the waitress greeted and seated us. The wait time between order and meal arrival was standard, we were there around lunch time on a Thursday. Not busy at all. The waitress checked and updated us on our meal status appropriately. At the end she forgot to inform us we needed to pay at the counter, another waitress had to as she noticed us waiting . The food was tasty and filling, portion size was normal as were the price. Group of 4 the bill was about 100.00. For the road I got a muffin for the road. I was introduced to grilled muffin, not something I would try again. I don’t need to additional fat, in my head I imagine grill marks but I never thought about the oil or butter they had to put in the muffin to grill it. It wasn’t bad just not my thing at this stage of my life. Edit, I visited with my family February 22nd, I was served by Issy, she was a beautiful young lady, very knowledgeable courteous. The young lady that seated us was also very sweet. I tried the bacon FIG burger it was delicious. The bathroom is very clean and not overly deodorized. Would recommend every time. Keep up the good work you guys!!

Buttercup cafe is a time honored breakfast tradition of excellence in food, service, and environment. Today’s visit showcased an ample selection of smoothies in addition to breakfast and lunch items. Our waitress was on top of her game, bringing us the avocado poached eggs w/bernaise sauce split and served on 2 plates. She went out of her way to bring us a steak knife as well!

Third time I have been here. Good food at good prices. Clean facilities and friendly people. It's a popular spot and therefore it's often crowded.
