What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently praise the cakes for rich, balanced flavours and thoughtful ingredients, particularly matcha made with Japanese imports and creative combinations like pandan yam or pistachio lemon. Many drive from neighbouring towns for repeat visits. Staff handle custom orders smoothly via WhatsApp, and the space feels cosy for unwinding.

However, the spot gets packed on weekends and sound echoes off bare walls, making it noisier than expected. One reviewer had a poor interaction with the owner over parking fees. A handful found certain cakes underwhelming. The takeaway service is reliable and delivery is prompt.

  • light, well-balanced flavours not overly sweet
  • cosy, relaxing ambiance
  • responsive customer service and smooth ordering
Watch-outs

Staff move quickly when quiet, but expect waits during peak lunch hours. The core draw is a real one: specialty coffee and matcha drinks executed with care, paired with thoughtful food-salmon pasta, wagyu katsu, hamburger sandos-in a layout where you watch baristas work. The matcha cheesecake lands reliably. Service stays attentive even when full. Prices feel fair for what you get.

Visitors consistently describe a plant-filled haven where terrarium workshops run smoothly under attentive instruction, cats roam freely, and the staff make everyone feel genuinely welcome. The space trades traditional cafe volume for a slower pace; those here for activities and ambiance rave, though a couple note the food menu could expand. DIY terrariums are the real draw, with instructor Jan earning specific praise for patience and knowledge. Drinks include specialty options like Niko Neko matcha. The setup suits groups, solo explorers, and anyone seeking a quiet alternative to busier cafes in SS2.

Butter & Spice earns solid marks for its pastries, breads, and coffee, with many return visits driven by consistent quality in baking and friendly service. The cafe extends beyond pastries to offer hearty mains and pasta that mostly land well, though some dishes feel either over-oiled or flavour-mild for the price, and occasional misses on desserts can dampen an otherwise good visit.
