Good Food All Day Every Day

We serve "extraordinarily ordinary" food at Butter – no fancy pants stuff, just your favorites, all made from scratch right here. Come early to snag a buttery pastry, or later for breakfast, lunch, a light dinner, or a treat. Luckily for you, our kitchen is now open from 8 am till close, and we've got good stuff for the kiddies too. Check out our menu.

An Independent Cafe in Southwest Minneapolis

Although we recently moved from Grand Ave, we are the same folks, rooted in Southwest Minneapolis for the last seven years and deeply committed to  producing not only good food, but also good community in the Lyndale and Kingfield neighborhoods. In our new home on Nicollet Avenue, we've partnered with Portico, a local non-profit working to end homelessness, in giving the youth at Nicollet Square job experience. Learn more about our story

We Wear Our Hearts on Our...Windows

We believe that as a small business we can make the world a better place, and we placed our goals on our restaurant windows for all to see. We support other small and local businesses and efforts to grow the power of Main St., USA. We have set a goal to send nothing to the landfill or the garbage burner - choosing to compost and recycle instead.  We contribute directly to the local urban and rural food economies. And we're always finding more to do. Find out more about our sustainability efforts.
