good food & atmosphere - Edit
Stopped here on a road trip. The building/decor was neat & the food was good. However, the staff wasn't super friendly. My hubby ordered the vegan burrito & I got the vegan burger. Both were great! The potatoes were tasty, but greasy.

Nice place in Dayton for a nice price - Edit
First and foremost, I very much enjoyed my first trip to Butter Cafe this morning and will definitely be going back in the near future. The staff was very friendly, and weren't overbearing like at some restaurants. And for the price, you get a lot of food. My wife is one of those people that never finishes a meal out, she always brings some of it home. That being said, she was only able to finish half of her omelette and potatoes. You definitely get bang for your buck.
Read moreThe reason Butter Cafe gets a four cow rating and not a five cow rating is because of the little things. I ordered a vegan burrito for breakfast. It's tofu scramble, vegan cheese, and beans in a tortilla. It came with a side of salsa and potatoes, and I got some vegan sausage on the side. In retrospect, I should have got the sausage in the burrito, but whatever. I really liked the burrito, but I wish it had just a little bit more to it. Maybe some onions, or mushrooms, something like that. Not a big deal, just a little quibble.
And when I went to the bathroom, there was hardly any soap (foam soap) in the dispenser, and it was only 11 am. And the paper towel dispenser was empty, with the paper towels set off in a corner. And there was a post-it note on the toilet telling the customers to please hold the handle down when flushing haha. Personally, I didn't mind that much, but seriously, the cafe should take care of that. I'm sure this restaurant isn't making money hand over fist, lighting cigars with hundred dollar bills and such, but seriously, how much does it cost to fix the handle on a toilet?
There were three of four little things I noticed, that if the Butter Cafe would just take care of, it would change my rating from a four to a five. Like I said at the beginning though, I did enjoy my meal there, and will return.
Pros: Lot of food for the money, Friendly staff, Multiple vegetarian and vegan options
Cons: Bathroom could have been better

Veggie Fave - Edit
It's a special splurge for me. I work on Brown Street and this is my favorite on the street. I love the tofu and salads! Pretty pricey for substitutions and they don't have whole grain tortillas and bread that meet my criteria (then again almost nobody does). I think the sausage tastes crazy real. Make sure you ask for no butter on the oatmeal even if you aren't vegetarian, they douse it in butter. haha they are called butter. Boyfriend loves it but says the biscuits aren't worth the calories.
Read morePros: Friendly Staff, excellent vegan and vegetarian options, Pretty Decor
Cons: No good whole grain options, Pricey substitutions

Great food - shame about the wait - Edit
Our group waited around 30 mins for a table around lunch time on Sunday but it was well worth the wait! The waitress did give us our drinks for free when she found out about our wait. There were at least 4 solid vegan options. I had the tofu scramble which came with vegan sausage and potatoes. Really delicious - I shall return!

some pretty yummy vegan options - Edit
I feel good about supporting this place because: a) it's independently owned; b) it serves meat and dairy but cares enough to use local, cage-free meat and eggs (hey, it's a start!); c) it offers several vegan options. The breakfast burrito is very tasty--by far the best thing on the menu I've had. Vegan sausage patties are tasty and the scramble is good but needs more veggies added for sure. Chairs are uncomfortable but the overall atmosphere is cute and hip. I love that it serves breakfast all day! My biggest complaint is that the place seems to be providing an environmentally-friendly, veggie-friendly vibe, but then they use Styrofoam to-go containers! Huh??! Get rid of that [censored], please! Oh, and please make vegan pancakes a regular offering.
Read morePros: cute atmosphere; friendly waitstaff, trying to be animal-friendly, know what vegan is!
Cons: styrofoam to-go containers--NO!, chairs uncomfortable
