Butter Baker Market Cafe
About
In ON M5G 1C3, Butter Baker Market Cafe is a cozy spot with a focus on matcha, especially in its ice cream and sorbet offerings. Visitors appreciate the range of matcha flavors, from subtle taste profiles like the Matchamisu Cake to stronger ones found in desserts such as the Matcha Cookie ($6.99). While many note that the matcha taste is best in the cream dollops on top, others find it less pronounced in items like the Earl Grey Cake. The ice cream variety, including wild blueberry soft serve, adds a delightful twist to the menu. However, some guests do feel the prices are on the higher side, with the mandatory $6.99 slice of matcha cake not matching their expectations. Additionally, the cafe’s unwelcoming staff during visits and the lack of ice cream cones have been points of frustration for some. The atmosphere is generally welcoming, though one review criticizes the mandatory tipping policy as feeling unnatural. In terms of value, the quality and variety are commendable but come with a few drawbacks. Guests point to the unique matcha desserts and consistent ice cream flavors, making it a notable stop in the area.
