Buttermere Patisserie (CAKE PICK UP - inside TORAFUKU)

We absolutely loved the jasmine and lemon cake!! Soft, fluffy, and not too sweet. You can really taste the lemon as well. Would highly recommend this place

Amazing cakes and excellent coffee! Ruby Coco Hot Chocolate was on the sweet side but had fruity notes and was quite delicious. Latte was made perfectly and I will definitely put this place as my new favourite coffee joint in the neighbourhood. Must try the Salted Egg Yolk Puff and Thai Empire Roll!

Dissapointed with their cake after reading all the good reviews. Ordered the “Monet in Kyoto” cake for my dad’s birthday and was super excited when looking at how beautiful it looked online. Picked it up and was disappointed with how the cake looked in person. The cake looked like it had been sitting in their fridge for awhile and didn’t look fresh. The chocolate decorations looked “wilted” and there seemed to be some sort of liquid/dew on top of the cake and surrounding it. Mind you, we only took 15min to get home, and put the cake in a cooler, plus it was a rainy/cool summer day. The centre also looked almost peach/pink online, but looked more brown in person. When we cut into the cake, it was very mushy & wet on the inside and some sort of liquid was (again)seeping out. Overall it was a very wet cake, despite us taking care to put it in a cooler and the fridge as we got home. Taste wise it was just so-so, nothing too special. I’ve had better cake at other bakeries for cheaper. Not worth the $70 price tag this cake came. Very disappointed and would probably not order again.

Tried their pillow cakes and cake rolls last year and they were pretty good but I think the flavours could have been much more intense to make them stand out. Went back for the choupix collab since I’m a fan of cream puffs, eclairs and all desserts with fillings and a couple of the choupix were quite good. Overall still looking for more intense flavours in their desserts to make them more pow!

The cake tasted ok and the color combination was nice. However, the writing on the cake and the chocolate drip didn't look good at all. The cake was slanted to the right too, which was unacceptable. It's my second time ordering from buttermere and my first order was way better. I am very disappointed this time because even the leaves on the cake were not fresh either (kind of dried up and became brownish). Initially, this is a surprise gift to a friend, but it turned out ruining her mood when she opened the box. My order number is 02839

Found this hidden dessert cafe in Chinatown serving beautiful desserts and roll cakes with a variety of unique flavours! The cake roll has such a light spongy and airy texture. Our favourite was the Hojicha sponge roll cake filled with rich japanese roasted green tea flavoured whipped cream~ the elegant flavour and softness of the roll cake melts in your mouth. The thai empire one was also amazingly delicious too, the Thai milk tea flavour was really good and light Loved the super cute decor, would love to come back to try their pillow cakes and other desserts too! Houjicha Cake Roll - $6.75 Thai Empire Cake Roll - $6.75

UPDATE: I have recently ordered again from Buttermere. We ordered the sakura roll. The roll was good but still no match as compared to the Halfmoon cake. We felt the sponge roll was a bit dry. Unfortunately, we found a hair on the swiss roll. Something we did not expect especially give the price of the cakes/ swiss rolls. I really hope they do something about this. Especially with COVID, I would at least expect that they would have done more to prevent this from happening. (See pictures below.) *********** Hands down to Buttermere Patisserie!!! I highly recommend them despite the steep price. I ordered the Halfmoon cake (rose and lychee sponge cake). It was visually stunning and tasted heavenly! The sponge was soft and fluffy. The lychee compote and the toasted milk ganache blended so well with the lychee rose sponge cake. The cake felt light and yet full in flavour. The balance of flavours were perfectly done. I am so glad that I have found this Patisserie. I will definitely be back to order their succulent cakes and rolls.

The cakes are expensive but the quality justifies it. Every part of the cake tastes divine. The mango filling and toppings were very fresh and the cake texture is soft like a cloud. I just wish there was more mango filling but I guess it's limited by the size of the cake.
