Butter& Lands in Sunny New Dogpatch Bakery Space Serving Adorable Single-Serving and Breakfast Cakes | Eater SF

"I find the new Dogpatch storefront of Butter& at 690 Indiana Street a welcome achievement for longtime customers who went from picking up cakes at the owner's home and curbside outside an industrial kitchen — with inconvenient three-flight stairs and wild temperature swings — to a comfortable, light-filled retail space. Owner Amanda Nguyen has converted the former Noon All Day and Kin Khao space into an open pastry kitchen on display that centers pastry chefs, lets neighbors watch cakes being assembled, and humanizes the interaction between bakers and customers. Whole cakes will still be available for preorder and pickup, but there are now day-of purchases, single-serving two-layer cakes in black tins, and a “cutie” five-inch two-layer cake that feeds four (highlighting sweet cream and roasted berries; hazelnut and chocolate; and brown butter Meyer lemon), with seasonal flavors like black sesame red bean for Lunar New Year and a Creamsicle test for Valentine’s Day and plans to possibly sell cake by the slice. A new savory breakfast “cake” — essentially a fluffy frittata with carrots and green beans and a rotating savory ingredient topped with piped mashed potatoes (it “actually looks like Funfetti”) — is sold by the slice (opening with bacon and a fried-onion vegetarian version soon) and comes with a gold birthday candle and a cheery “happy breakfast.” The shop has also added a drink program in partnership with Hedge Coffee for drip coffee and au lait drinks (steamed whole or oat milk for matcha, hojicha, and kid-friendly hot chocolate) plus seasonal drinks like an upcoming Tongan vanilla; hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, closed Mondays." - Dianne de Guzman
