Just what we wanted. Pancakes were great with blueberry and maple syrup. The portions are huge and good to share. The biscuits are large and great to use as a sandwich. The history and general vibe is so much fun.

A Napa institution with fair prices excellent service and fine quality baked goods. One could spend more - lots more - but why? Our last purchase of a champagne cake was so smooth and of course it tasted delicious

My family has been coming to this bakery to get donuts since I was a little girl! The smell of freshly baked goods as you walk in is nostalgic, and makes your mouth water instantly. The service is always quick too. If you're a fan of maple bars, they have the best around!

I have been wanting to try this place for months! Unfortunately we arrived just as the diner side was closing so we could not get lunch but we got a glazed cruller (my favorite donut), three slices of champagne cake, a blueberry scone and a custard filled eclair. The scone and one slice of the cake were gifts for my friend so I did not try the scone but it was large and clearly filled with many berries and looked great. The champagne cake was extraordinarily light and fluffy and the frosting and custard were delicious. The cruller went first in two big bites so no picture sorry! The eclair was great the pastry was firm not soggy and the frosting and custard were very good and not overwhelmingly sweet. Can't wait to go back and get a meal with my pastries next time! Parking is easy and the 75 year old history of the business and its decor is charming and welcoming

Butter Cream Bakery is a classic diner/pastry shop that's been open since 1948. My wife and I stopped in here for a delicious breakfast. There's a long counter on the left and you can tell this is a favorite of locals. You can either sit down for something to eat or get takeout from their large donut and pastry selection. I ordered a single pancake and an almond croissant. My wife had the cinnamon French toast. The food along with the coffee was delicious. I know if I lived around here, I'd be back all the time for those pastries and donuts! Our server had a great sense of humor and the signs on the walls are very funny. Definitely a fun breakfast stop!

Been here 2x in the past month just for pastries, I haven't dined in yet but it looks like they have American diner food. They have a ton of solid bakery classics. Donuts, muffins, cupcakes, cake by slice. I love their donuts and pink champagne cake! Brought the donuts and cake to work and everyone loved them! They are known for that cake and it is good. It's chiffon cake with champagne custard(?), and buttercream frosting. I believe the white version of the cake has whipped cream instead of buttercream. A worker told me she likes the Napa Valley Wine Cake so I'll try that next! Will be coming back!
