Reviews of Brown Butter Cafe (Coffee Shop)

phil

This is a great place to get work done, study, and just hang out with friends. The food and drinks taste excellent while maintaining a good price. The atmosphere here is amazing, everyone is very friendly! The owners and staff are some of the nicest people I've ever met which is one of the reasons why I always come here. I would 10000/10 recommend everyone come here and try some of their drinks and food.

Very quaint and trendy cafe just south of Ellerslie and 91st. Very small menu, but everything on it is a winner. Portions are small, but are perfect size for a light lunch or to have with a coffee. The coffee/tea menu is amazingly well flavored, and the food is insanely good. Recommend the grill cheese, which is on a pressed bun with caramelized onions and tomato jam! Plenty of parking and friendly staff. Very clean and aesthetic look with lots of light. Only complaint is there isn't a lot of seating, so can be tricky at peak times to get a spot. There's lots of space so just a matter of using the space better. But it's a minor gripe.

An excellent place for morning coffee. We enjoyed a breakfast sandwich and cinnamon bun - a bit different style than usual but great nonetheless. They have a couple of tables out front to enjoy your coffee. Seems to have a consistent following and their service was very friendly.

Tricia Sullivan

A great breakfast sandwich, that mayo is perfectly spicy and I appreciate the lettuce wrap option. Fresh, tasty and just the right amount for a quick breakfast. Coffee was delicious, friendly owner, cute place!

Amit Ahluwalia

Coffee, bunwich and Cinnamon bun are all very well done!

Holly Carpenter

The BLTSwiss bun is my pregnancy craving. I make my husband pick one up for me multiple times a week when he’s in town. My ultimate favourite lunch, it’s so fresh and so delicious! Also really enjoy the London Fogs. Before Covid, this was my favourite place to have lunch with friends!

Madiha Aziz

I cannot rave about this place enough. So happy we discovered this place during our stay in Edmonton - it was a walking distance from our hotel! Highly recommend their Mocha and Good Morning burger!

I met a friend for coffee around mid morning. The service was prompt and the drinks were enjoyable. The atmosphere of the seating area was a bit sterile and empty, but not unpleasant. This isn't a cafe with deep sofas for lounging in. We visited for about an hour and got on with our day. It was a good visit. The only real complaint about the Brown Butter Cafe is their relatively short hours. They're closed by mid-afternoon which is somewhat understandable given their location but also a bit limiting. If you're in the area is worth a try.

Natasha Mager

Absolutely splendid experience! My boyfriend and I were out for a bite to eat, And coming here was such a good decision. The food was delicious; it was high quality restaurant food -- with a beautiful combination of flavours -- in a calm cafe atmosphere. The couple that owns the cafe is so sweet and friendly, and offered a smores bun to us because it wasn't too busy, which was absolutely delicious! Can't wait to come again ????

Finally a great locally-owned cafe in the southside! Located on 91 St. and south of Ellerslie Road (by the Summerside community), the interior is bright and welcoming, filled natural lighting; perfect for studying and meeting up with friends. They are currently the only cafe in Edmonton serving Monogram Coffee, along with their specialty in-house made buns and bunwiches. You have to try their famous Good Morning Bunwich! (I like to add bacon on mine for that extra crunch) and the iced raspberry mocha is my favourite! The cafe is owned by a lovely couple who will get to know you (and remember your order) and make you feel welcome every time! I highly recommend checking out Brown Butter Cafe!

Janis Dybka

I do recommend this locally owned cafe. The coffee is rich and fresh. The tea is prepared to perfection. The food is flavourful and delicious. And to save the best for last, the staff is friendly courteous.

Andrew Croy

Great cafe to check out if you are on your way out of Edmonton. Very nice looking inside and quiet ambiance unlike most Starbucks locations that enjoy blaring music. Enjoy one their amazing Cinnamon buns!

Elly G

Cute place in town. We dropped by and I tried the Dolce latte, the caramel was just perfect and not super sweet. The latte is smooth and taste good.

Dustin McLachlan

Wow, amazing breakfast sandwich! Fresh ingredients, incredible flavor, can't ask for much more.

Cody Thomas

Amazing coffee! If you have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend mocha raspberry. I usually stick to specialty coffee, but the food is quite good as well. Never been dissapointed. Friendly staff and also local business. I don't live near this location, but it's just too good to pass up when nearby. Please open a location in Sherwood Park! ????

Timothy Taligato

Love the coffee in this place. Very friendly staff, great food, and vibe is amazing. Would recommend.

Alan Chiu

Excellent quality and greater atmosphere. Lots of room to bring strollers in and sit down and enjoy really good food. Bread is baked fresh daily and is so good!

Brittany B

Super friendly staff and amazing food. I get their buns for pick up regularly and everyone who tries them, loves them.

*** MUST EAT - CINNAMON BUNS! *** I was here on business - I usually look for local cafe shops to try & this one was 5 minutes from my hotel, decided to try it out & it was definitely a must go cafe! PROS • THE CINNAMON BUNS ARE TO DIE FOR!! IT DOESNT MISS! • atmosphere is clean and cozy, feels like you're at home • staff or owner at the time was super friendly & helpful! • coffee is flavorful, can really taste the bean! • great location - tons of parking out front CONS • no complaints • no dine in at the moment DID I MENTION TO GET THE CINNAMON BUNS CAUSE LIKE YA - GO DO THAT RIGHT NOW 100% MISSING OUT why the cinnamon buns? they explode in your mouth when you bite into them!! argh I should of bought more. will come back here again if I'm in town for business or may even move to Calgary who knows.

Darcy Gillies

This was our first visit. I have to say the food and coffe was fantastic. 5 stars. Great little hidden gem. We will definitely make many more visits again. Well done!!

Tallitha Campos

Their specialty drinks are a must try. I had the Raspberry Mocha and Peppermint Hot Chocolate paired with the Apple Pie Bun. The raspberry mocha was the most delicious flavored coffee I tried. Located near a pediatric clinic you will find parents with kids hanging out there. The space is wide and clean but it could be layouted differently.

Harriet Jills

The coffee here is so good, I just keep coming back. Good to know I can buy the beans too!

Mandi Sharpe

Am I missing something? I ordered a flat white. It was incredibly small. I am not a coffee connoisseur. Maybe outside of large chain coffee shops or my local coffee shop, flat whites are micro mini? Perhaps they used a special brew that I am not used to? It smelled and tasted like sour soy milk. The atmosphere was not bright, clean and modern as I was lead to think through some reviews, but stale and uncomfortable. As I walked in the owners stared at me wide eyed as if they were arguing moments before and I had interrupted....you know the feeling. It was incredibly awkward. Perhaps it was an off day for them? I am puzzled by the whole experience.

Nathan Thomas

Amazing coffee! Some of the best I've had in edmonton, would highly recommend!

Kim Mills

So yummy!! I had the beef stir fry. I might go back in for one of their coffees☺️

Alex Kirkpatrick

Great place! Friendly staff and fair prices. The dolce latte is ridiculously good (though basically a dessert). The breakfast sandwich was also a hit.

Janine Nelson

The owners and staff are absolutely lovely. So kind and friendly. Coffee is always amazing.

Justin Candelaria

Great food, great coffee/drinks, great ambience. The interior is simple and modern. The owners are a beautiful and friendly couple who will remember your name and really get to know you. If you haven't been yet, you gotta visit!

Tahir Khan

Just had the morning bun and WOW! The pickled onions with the spicy mayo was a delicious combo Definitely coming back.

Guess Who

My first time here this morning. Tried the morning bunwich.....delicious!! The bun has a sweetness to it paired against the backdrop of the pickled onion and spicy mayo it's a wonderful contrast!! The best breakfast I have had in quite some time. What a wonderful local business ????

Kev P

Cute little place. Food was good. But yes it could use an extra table or two.

Regine Tub

Super friendly staff. Drinks are delicious and not too sweet. Their good morning buns is best way to start the mornings.

Maya O.

Love going to Brown Butter Cafe! Highly recommend their lattes and buns.

Steven Wall

Well, to say they do sandwiches right is spot on. We started the morning with their cheese sandwich for me (grilled with caramelized onions ????) and the Morning sandwich for the Mrs. From the perfect buns to the softest eggs these sandwiches will melt in your mouth. It us like eating tasty clouds. For drinks I had the Dulce Latte and the Mrs. the raspberry mocha. The Dulce Latte was nice and mild and did not hide the taste of my sandwich. It was very complimentary as both had caramel flavours. The raspberry mocha had a very strong flavor but so did the morning sandwich so again they complemented each other. Who doesn't like raspberry in the morning? On a side note. The happy motivations around the cafe help brighten the mood. The owners spread the cheer also with warm welcomes to all who come in. On the wall by the sugars and creams is a local business bulletin board. It is good to see local businesses supporting and promoting other fellow locals.

Gene Yong

Great customer service. Was greeted at the door immediately. Felt very welcome. The buns are very unique it will make your tastebuds sing. The coffee is done with the right temperature therefore the taste of the beans will make you dance. Definitely my favorite cafe in Edmonton.

Garland Sau

I love coming here to wind down whenever I'm off work early. The food and service are consistently terrific. The best part is that they don't charge for lemon water!

Maison Damery

My new favourite cafe! Great quality espresso and amazing food, but most importantly the staff are just as amazing! Limited menu but definitely worth it! Very competitive prices and a much better option than any chain cafe.

Evyn Fritzler

Awesome local cafe! Their food is delicious and they have one of the best lattes in town!

Marleaux Peter

Food was so amazing that I forgot to take a photo before eating it. Aside from the food, the atmosphere of this place is warm and welcoming. Staff is great and provides exceptional service. Brown butter is definitely a place to hang out with friends/family, or even a place where you can get work done. 10/10 would definitely recommend coming here.

Christina

The cinnamon bun was AMAZING!!!! It blew my mind. Unexpectedly different style, but delicious.

Jaime Shumilak

The crispy chicken bowl is amazing. A nice balance of flavors and generous portions. The dulce latte is a new favorite.

S D

Delicious food and great customer service. Every time I visit, they are welcoming and friendly.

Jennifer George

The food is amazing. You needn't say more! But I will. They have 3 high chairs. The owners are so friendly! They were happy to explain what they were doing in the bakery to my 3 year old and answer get many questions. This is a huge draw! Not all local coffee shops are family friendly. I want to mention that a lot of the critical comments of this cafe are actually unfounded... I saw on the website that this was their soft opening. So the comment about plastic cutlery - they no longer do that... the menu is expanding...etc. I only just heard of this place and tried it out yesterday. We will definitely be back. I think the low star ratings should try it again! They do need more tables, though. I agree!

Jamie Manship

A fabulous little cafe with unique coffee experience. I delicious little gem in Edmonton.

Cecil Charles Gwinji

I was there this morning for the first time and their Swiss BLT bum-wich was absolutely amazing. I will certainly be back for some more. Any first timers is going there for breakfast, this is one you should try out.

Emily Smith

I go here relatively often and everything I have ever ordered from them is amazing. The Good Morning breakfast bun is soo tasty, (usually what I order) and it has a soft and fresh bun, fluffy egg with avocado, pickled onions and a spicy type of sauce. Delicious! Their coffee is also very flavourful. I highly recommend this locally owned business!

Mark Dyck

Today I stopped in and purchased some cinnamon buns. So yummy! Also, great young couple serving the community with yummy treats and drinks! Support this place!

Jennie Abbott

Best hot chocolate and latte of my life. Staff are super friendly and accommodating.

Linley

No dine in at this time. Limit of 7 people in the store at a time. Their menu is limited at the moment. They put away their regular menu and have a small food and drink menu. My first time here and I loved their Good morning Bunwich! The bun they use is so soft and the sandwich is packed nice and tall. They are active on Instagram and have specialty buns they offer as well but it is unfortunately only available with preorder the day before. I am excited to try more food and drinks here.

Katherine Luknowsky

JUST AWESOME! Try anything - you'll love it! I eat here all the time. Quality and customer service are superb - keep it up guys! We love you!

Excellent excellent breakfast brunch or lunch place. Place was clean and cozy. Staff friendly. Washrooms clean. And the place had a small town vibe about it. People who came in knew the workers or the owner and everyone was making small talk. Now I haven't even gotten to the food. The sweets were delicious. And the savory sandwiches were even better. Will come back definitely.

J Frölich

On or off days. The most consistent item is the chicken meal. Over priced for what you are getting in my opinion

Phoenix Rae

Hands down , my favourite cafe. The staff are so kind , and are there to help you find your perfect selection ! The espresso is rich and smooth. Absolutely the best there is. The prices are wayyyy worth the product. The ambience is very warm and welcoming. Perfect place to come read a book ! Magnifique!.

JP Angeles

This place is fantastic. Fresh sandwiches and great service. Had the BLT Swiss and the freshly baked bun itself was amazing. Even treated myself to the s’mores dessert. If your looking for a new clean and fresh environment this has got to be your go to spot. Very well done!! Mike and Heena the owners were there to ensure you were completely satisfied.

Leanne Sarver

All very yummy. Highly recommended.

K Lewis

I have lived in Edmonton my entire life and I am literally OBSESSED with breakfast and breakfast sandwiches... For YEARS I have been in search of the BEST breakfast sandwich in the city. The search is over. Brown Butter Cafe has done it... Hands down the best breakfast sandwich in Edmonton, perhaps in all of Canada!!! I actually come here every single day. Great atmosphere, great service, great lattes and flat whites too!! I recommend this cafe to EVERYONE!! It's an 11/10!

T Syed

So delicious! Tucked into a nice corner in the Southside. Got the delicious strawberry cheesecake bun, dulche latte & it did not disappoint. Excellent service as well. Will definitely return!

James Young

Absolutely delicious sandwiches on a irresistible bun. The staff were delightful and the cafe has a warm and clean aesthetic. Do your self a favour and get the cinnamon bun as well!

susan Eapen
