The Buttery

This is one of my favorite matcha places in all of OC!! I come here every Monday after class for their “Matcha Mondays” special where all the matchas are $4! They have so many delicious options and I have loved every single one. They also have the most delicious pastries as well! The croissants and macarons are all delicious but my absolute favorite is the yuzu lemon tart!!!!!! HANDS DOWN THE BEST TART I THINK IVE EVER ATE IN MY LIFE. Perfect sweetness and has fresh fruit on top, the crust is super yummy as well, super refreshing and yummy! It’s pretty hard to find good matcha in OC and I can tell you this has got to be one of the very few places that get it right! And with all the different flavor options from strawberry to ube they all are amazing! The staff are also the friendliest people!!! I’ve only been coming here once a week for the past month I think(?) and they remember me and welcome me back every time :) The atmosphere is great, they always have nice upbeat music on and the seating area is really cute with little couches and coffee tables. Both me and my little sister love coming here to just talk and have some drinks n treats! I also come here to work on my homework or art! Overall 10/10 recommend trying this place out!!!!!

The Buttery is the perfect neighborhood bakery in Fountain Valley. The owner trained in France and Italy, and it shows—everything is made with top-quality ingredients and real care. My favorite? The ham & cheese croissant —flaky, buttery, and perfectly balanced. Their Portuguese egg tarts are silky with a caramelized top, and the choux cream puffs are light and creamy. They also make stunning custom cakes that taste as good as they look. Of course everything is just the right amount of sweetness. They recently started serving Moongoat Coffee and matcha. Smooth coffee, rich matcha, and incredible pastries.

Friendly staff and everything looked good but the taste was little disappointing. Pistachio cream inside had too artificial color and the croissant was dry like it was a day old , and flavor. Garlic cheese bread was just not good with weird texture like old pound cake. They tried but didn't do a good job knocking off others. They were not worth the price. Wish they tasted as good as they looked!

Wowwww! What an amazing spot. Ham and cheese croissant was perfect, the passion fruit and mango tart was also perfect, and the churro latte and banana lattes were…PERFECT!!! Seriously blown away by the quality. New fav croissant in oc!

I was pet sitting in the area and came across this place. I had the iced Vietnamese coffee, almond croissant, and a yuzu berry tart. The customer service was excellent. Very friendly, quick service. The seating area is decorated very cute. It’s definitely a vibe. The coffee is excellent. I’ve never had Vietnamese coffee so I have nothing to compare it to but this drink was SO GOOD! They use Moongoat coffee. Love love love. The croissant is super tasty, light and flaky, with just enough almond butter. Not super sweet, just really good. I haven’t eaten the yuzu fruit tart yet, saving it for later but it’s very aesthetically pleasing. I would definitely come back. Parking: easy, free lot Bathroom: I didn’t use the bathroom-no notes Price point: coffee $5.50, pastries vary. I spent $23 with a tip for coffee and two pastries that could easily be shared. ADA- there is a ramp to enter the plaza and seating and entrance to establishment easily accessible. No notes on bathroom.

First time—and last. Tried their Vietnamese coffee, hard to justify coming back. What I got tasted like a regular latte. No boldness, no sweetness, no depth—just milk and espresso with a misleading label. Honestly… what was I drinking? Vietnamese coffee should hit with intensity: strong robusta, rich condensed milk, and a flavor that lingers. This had none of that. It felt like they skipped the recipe and hoped no one would notice. I also tried the pistachio croissant, which looked promising but had a strange off flavor—definitely not what I expected. The atmosphere was cool—stylish, inviting, definitely a place you’d want to hang out. But if the drinks don’t deliver, the vibe alone isn’t enough to bring me back.

Very fun and delicious coffee creations. We had the tiramisu latte, the orange Creamsicle latte and churro latte. Very yummy looking pastries and desserts.

I ordered a Chanel-themed birthday cake and was extremely disappointed. The “Chanel bag” on display was actually a cheap plastic box. The decorative flowers also appeared like icing in the photos, but in reality they were fake. The cake itself was no better. The surface looked unappealing, the texture was overly moist and soggy. The flavor was overwhelmingly sweet, making it very unpleasant to eat. For the price I paid, I expected a high-quality cake with edible decorations, not plastic props and disappointing taste.
