– Butter Bakery Cafe –

in the heart of Southwest Minneapolis

We are a locally owned, independent business rooted in Southwest Minneapolis since 2006 and deeply committed to producing not only good food, but also good community in the Lyndale and Kingfield neighborhoods. Since moving to Nicollet Avenue in 2012, we've partnered with Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative, a local non-profit working to end homelessness, in giving youth living at Nicollet Square supportive work experience. As a Social Benefit Corporation, we’re focused on being a business for good, modeling sustainable practices, advocating for improvements to worker rights, and bringing positive change to our food service industry.

Dan retires and the business will close on December 31, 2025. There will be new life on the corner of 37th and Nicollet in the coming year. You can learn more about the decision on Dan’s blog and follow the developments there as well.
