Butter & Cream Bakery Review – Rich, Buttery Pastries & Creamy Egg Tarts

Their selection of muffins, like the Hokkaido cream and lava cheese, are crowd favorites, with the former offering a decadent, fluffy bite packed with creamy filling. The bakery also has a reputation for its salted egg yolk treats, though some feel the salted egg flavour can be a bit muted​.

Butter & Cream Bakery is where you’ll find the kind of pastries that make you rethink every dry muffin and sad tart you’ve ever had. This place has a reputation for making you feel slightly better about life one buttery bite at a time, especially when it comes to their egg tarts.

These little golden wonders are practically worshiped by regulars. The crust? Crumbly, yet somehow not messy. The custard? Creamy, but not in the “I need a gallon of water afterward” way.

Butter & Cream Bakery’s egg tarts strike a balance between creamy custard and a tender, crumbly crust. The custard is smooth, lightly sweet, and has a subtle richness that doesn’t overpower, offering a delicate flavor that blends well with the buttery base. The crust, though firm enough to hold its shape, crumbles gently as you bite into it, adding texture without overwhelming the soft filling. Overall, the egg tarts are satisfying but lean towards a lighter, simpler profile compared to more indulgent, sweeter versions elsewhere. They’re ideal if you prefer something that won’t leave you feeling too heavy.

If egg tarts aren’t your thing (who are you?), they’ve got muffins. Not just any muffins, though. We’re talking Hokkaido cream muffins and salted egg yolk lava muffins. The Hokkaido one is light, fluffy, and has a surprise filling that doesn’t scream “sugar rush,” just a gentle nudge towards indulgence. The salted egg yolk? Well, it tries. Some say the flavor’s a bit shy, but it’s still better than whatever you’ll find in most corner bakeries.

Then there’s the cheese tart, which sounds like something a lactose lover might dream of, and trust me, it is. Smooth, slightly tangy cheese filling? Check. A crust that does its job without overshadowing the main star? Double check. You’ll probably feel like a cultured adult after a few bites—don’t let it go to your head.

^{Butter & Cream Bakery Doffins}

And if you’re feeling adventurous, Butter & Cream has decided to play pastry Frankenstein by creating the Doffin, a muffin-donut hybrid. The reviews are mostly positive—probably because when you mix two carbs, something’s bound to go right.

Butter & Cream Bakery Review

Butter & Cream Bakery is like that dependable friend who doesn’t have to shout to get your attention. Sure, it might not look like much from the outside, but once you’ve tried their tarts, muffins, or that odd Doffin thing, you’ll see why it has a steady fanbase. The egg tarts are probably the most memorable item on the menu, but the rest, while tasty, doesn’t quite reach “must-must-visit” status. It’s a decent pit stop if you’re in the area, 3.8/5 feels about right.
