What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Buttercup Cafe is a charming spot praised for its delicious homemade food, particularly cakes and indulgent hot chocolate. Visitors appreciate the friendly and attentive service, which is accommodating to families and groups. While most reviews are glowing, some diners found certain sandwiches to be average in taste and quality.
"We popped into the Buttercup Cafe for lunch and we are so glad we did! They had a varied menu . We had the hamburger, chicken fingers, sandwich, and chicken ceasar salad. All were delicious and fresh. We also enjoyed coffee, cappachino, and the most delicious slice of cinomon aplle cake. The service was wonderful. The staff was cheerful and kind. We would absolutely eat here again."

"Excellent cakes, average sandwich
Stopped off here for some quick refreshments... very pleasantly surprised by the cakes which were very tasty. Pecan caramel slice 9/10, rice crispy chocolate caramel thing 9/10.
Sandwich however was a little disappointing. Seems like supermarket bread, cheese wasn't melted, pesto likely from a jar too - not a great deal of flavour 6/10.
Overall, a nice café, staff were lovely and we came out feeling refreshed, so job done."

We’d worked up an appetite on our ramble, so grabbed a takeaway lunch from the Buttercup Cafe to eat back at Old Newton of Doune.
