About

The South End Buttery has been delighting neighborhood diners since the day it opened back in 2005. Whether they’re popping in for coffee and a croissant, grabbing a sandwich, sneaking an afternoon sweet or sitting down for dinner, guests enjoy flawlessly executed comfort food made with organic, all-natural, locally-sourced ingredients wherever possible. The eclectic menus are full of fresh ingredients and infusions in contemporary twists on classic American and English fare.

Through quality, consistency and the personal attention of an informed staff, the Buttery cultivates a pleasurable and welcoming experience that’s earned it adoration and accolades from the community including Boston's Best Neighborhood Gem and Best Brunch for five years running. They even make their four-legged guests feel right at home with fresh biscuits from Polka Dog Bakery.
