Butter Bun in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Visited Butter Bun at least once a week since the new owner took over earlier this year and it’s a wonderful cafe and take away, the bacon, chicken and mayo sandwich are so nice and as for the cheesecakes they are AMAZING 🤩 It’s so clean and the staff are friendly, they really take pride in what they do xx

Amazing little place. All the staff are really friendly, and the place is spotlessly clean. I ate here twice during a week's visit to Bude. I ordered a tuna mayo sandwich with salad on thick-sliced brown bread....OMG, it was absolutely delicious. Huge amounts of filling, so fresh. I also had a slice of cheesecake and a coffee. The cheesecake is possibly some of the best I've ever tasted. Made in-house, apparently. An absolute credit to the owner. JUST YUM 😋

Visited twice whilst in Bude. Sandwiches tasted fresh and homemade, miles better than any meal deal sandwich. Handy to grab and go before taking a walk on the south west coast path to Widemouth Bay.

Good friendly service, delicious food 😋

Zero complaints, I got a salad bowl, very good for a salad, looked nice, tasted nice, lots of variety for salads, sandwiches, potato's. Option to have meat in your salad bowl, I didn't but it was still really good. Lots of sauces too

Lovely, well priced sandwiches with so much choice of filling! The owner, her lovely Mum and staff are so friendly we visited several times on our holiday!

A very successful stopover for breakfast on our WOMO tour through southern England. Everything was clean and fresh, the Americano was really watery.

Butter bun was a great find and would highly recommend! The sandwiches and jacket potatoes are very good.

Place was very clean able got a table straight away food was lovely and staff were very friendly

This was so good! The service was fast and efficient

Great food with a really good selection including vegetarian and gluten free options for a good and affordable price. Great location along the main high street. They serve a selection of sandwiches, toasties, paninis and jacket potatoes as well as afternoon tea items like scones and tea cakes. Staff were friendly and we didn’t have to wait too long for the food to be served. They also provided a take away option as well. Free WiFi was also available. I would definitely go back if in the area again.

Stopped here with my wife and daughter, lovely food , lovely owners, very clean throughout. Would definitely come back. Meatball sub large and very tasty, homemade Biscoff cheese cake was to die for. Top place reasonable prices. 👍

We visited butter bun (beautiful little super clean cafe) the morning of the 8/7/24 😁 before we drove home after our family holiday in bude. I have to say this is the most friendliest cafe I have ever been too the owner is so beautifully lovely and polite, my cup of Yorkshire tea and our beautiful breakfast was absolutely mouth watering, cooked to perfection, my daughters loved there hot chocolate with a fancy chocolate heart on the top, everything about this establishment was just wonderful. The food and drink, the service and the atmosphere was all 10 star plus We will visit again and we thank you for our wonderful breakfast xxxxx

Very friendly,great food , quick service,chilled and relaxed

New little place not to be missed. Two breakfasts and two coffees all absolutely delicious. Great choice on menu and very well priced.

Amazing little sandwich shop. Lots of choice of fillings all fresh and made to order, friendly staff, a real asset to Bude.

Popped into this lovely little coffeeshop today was very clean and friendly, cheesecake were excellent 😋. Coffee was great!. They have a great choice of breads for sandwiches,baguette, rolls, sandwiche filling are very generous, salad boxes amazing choice. Will definitely be going back great prices is always a bonus. Dog friendly.

Amazing breakfast, quick service and very welcoming....would highly recommend a visit!

Found this superb place to eat called Butter Bun. Freshly made orders & the choices are amazing. A must visit if in Bude.

Breakfast wrap was to die for we loved it that much we ordered panini's to take away for lunch too. Great atmosphere lovely and clean highly recommended

This place is a must vist especially anyone walking the south west coastpath top quality food with the best ingredients and also a lovely smile and conversation to go with it pop in and say hello. Oh and yes it's dog friendly and my boy milo definitely approves

First visit and had the breakfast wrap.....it's huge !!!!.....lovely food, lovely service,very big menu, and lovely owner....and a very good price. I would really recommend this for a bit of lunch. 👍

Had been to the beach with my dog, was looking for a place we could both go. Was warmly welcomed in! Dog friendly, and he was given a treat and a cuddle, Excellent vibe, great staff.

Lovely double egg bap today for only £3.00 Bargain 😃 👍👍👍

Its really good bar . service was good.Ashiq was really fantastic and outstanding.thank you dear butter bun team

Waited in the small queue for about 20 mins, each person was waiting approx 20 minutes..we finally got to be the next person...another customer walked in and she took his order! She had No awareness of who was next!. We walked out disgusted! No explanation of "we are busy you may have to wait......minutes?"

Took over 40 minutes for 3 toasties, one bagel and a baguette. I would understand if it was the lunchtime rush but we ordered at 14:40. Whilst we were waiting for our food 2 other customers came in and ordered after us and got their sandwiches well before us. Food was acceptable once received but it is over priced for what it is.

Lovely toasties, food and good prices cant fault it thankyou

Visited Saturday 5/20 for lunch, aside from the young lady behind the counter being on her phone the entire time I was there, ordered roast beef baguette and egg mayo baguette for £14. Bread wasn’t nice. Fillings were sad. Honestly an irritating experience.

Unfortunately service really slow (took at least 20mins for a sandwich) and disappointing food when it finally arrived. Also really overpriced £6.00 -£6.50 for a sandwich and that’s all you get.

Awesome toastie! Thick cut ham, lots of cheese and tiger bread! Great service too

A first date with a beautiful woman who has introduced me to Vegan food. If it is all as good as this sample I will never shun Veganism again!

Excellent food, freshly and carefully prepared. It’s not particularly quick, but definitely worth the wait.

Great little lunch spot. Managed to get a table and ordered some food. I can't eat dairy/soya and they were really great. I accidentally ordered a coffee frappe thinking it would be without milk (🤦🏻‍♀️) and they happily exchanged it with an iced black coffee. Food was delicious, would return again next time I'm in the area!

Great food! Also for vegans/vegetarians

nice sandwiches and baguettes, good service

Lovely place, a warm welcome, with a great choice of snacks. Definitely recommend, will definitely come here again.

Delicious bacon baguette and nice capuccino

Ordered a baked potato with cheese and beans. Had to wait 25 mins and received a spud with half a normal portion of beans and sprinkle of cheese. A complete waste of my time and money.

The ladies in here are super friendly and make the greatest Chicken & Bacon club you will ever taste! The bread is so soft and delicious! Hot drinks are also amazing! Definitely recommend 🤤

I’m a local in Bude and can confirm that the staff are just lovely. Always have been. Service is quick as possible and the food is always delicious. Genuinely missed this place when I left for uni in sep, but coming straight back when I get home early December (hoping for a Yorkshire pudding thingy, can’t remember what they’re called, but they’re bloody good!) x chin up butter bun, “nolite te bastardes carborundorum” ;)

Walked in, hadn't even sat down when waitress refused to serve us calling us middle class idiots!Shocked at the response of asking to be seated and turned to leave.Waitress clearly having a bad day continue being abusive and slammed the door INTO my friends back as he walked out!Nothing short of assult and for no reason.Disgusting behaviour in front of customers and children displayed by the member of staff.Shocked and astonished at this disgusting display of unprovoked behaviour we will never return.AVOID. There are plenty of better places to eat where staff are trained to respect their customers.

Visited with my husband and children. Waited forever for food, especially the vegan option. When questioned how long the food would be, we received a very rude abrupt response from the member of staff. The Children were actually quite scared of her and asked to leave. Food was at most average and the service very poor. They clearly do not like having customers sit in!! Not a great introduction to Cornwell for us.

Visited for lunch because of the vegan options. However food was terrible and the staff were rude and unhelpful. Waited ages and wasnt worth it - definitely AVOID

Just the best sandwiches in bude

We just stopped of for a bit to eat before heading back, food was fresh and my wrap and Mr's sandwich where full and oozing with fillings. Service was cheery and pleasant. They even had time to fuss the dog. Would definitely recommend.

This place was lovely, very friendly. When we sat down with the kids they brought their sandwiches straight away while we decided and even made them a little side plate of veggies. Lovely food and coffee for is grownups too

So my partner and I and my Frenchie were in Bude looking for a much needed cuppa and bite to eat , our Frenchie clearly wanted to come in here for a bite to eat and he wasn't disappointed ! The 2 very kind and lovely ladies fed him pieces of chicken and made a real fuss of him , as did the guy prepping the food! The food was fresh, clean and very tasty and the cuppa was liquid gold , people moaning about speed of service shocked me, after all , Bude isn't New York or London , will definately visit here again

Noticed a few bad reviews from impatient people about this place. Anywhere you go in Cornwall during the busy season has a wait. This place is so nice and is always worth the wait. The best places are always busy and sometimes you get bad luck with the timing it's just how it is. Needless to say the food here is so good. Best sandwiches in the area.

40 minute wait for a very average Ham & cheese toastie.... Appreciate it's a local business but unacceptable wait.

I regularly visit butter bun for a sandwich for my lunch. Every time it is slow. I always pre order my lunch for a specific time and EVERYTIME it is not ready on time. I’ve had enough and I will never be returning. Every member of staff in there takes SO long to make any sandwich, how difficult can it be? Every staff member shouts and chats rubbish while making the food, it’s so unprofessional. I have spoken to many friends and family members and they have all said the same. They need to take a leaf out of subways book. AVOID AT ALL COSTS - unless you want to wait 30 minutes or more for a sandwich.

A very modern sandwich shop with a seemingly huge selection. Stopped here a few times while out walking and never disappoints!

Stopped in again (a regular haunt) but this time on the annual mission for a Christmas dinner in a Yorkshire pud. One word - nom. Nomnomnomnomnom. It is to die for. Couldn’t move for an hour or so. An absolute must if you’re in Bude

Called in whilst browsing the shops and street's of Bude. Cosy little place. Menu looked good and plenty to choose from. I had Ham and Pea soup with chunky bread on the side whilst my partner, she chose a baked potato with chilli con carne with a side salad. Both dishes were delicious. Owners friendly and chatty, especially if your a dog owner. Reasonably priced.

Told me to hang in whilst they did something else. Someone else came in and left an order whilst I was still stood there. Neither could be bothered to take an order so I left, they obviously don't need it want the custom

A wonderful experience, some would say it’s just a sandwich, had beef and horseradish salad sandwich on granary, was quite something, plenty of filling and a very reasonable price. The next day we had chilli beef burrito and a tuna melt with vanilla frappe to eat in and took away another beef and horseradish and a chicken and chorizo salad for eating on the beach later. Again plentiful filling and wonderful tasting. Thanks to the lovely staff, all very cheerful and accommodating. We will definitely see you again

Little gem in bude. Food was amazing at really good prices and the staff were really friendly. What more can you ask

I had to wait a very long time for my toastie. In fact I had to remind the staff who were so busy talking that they forgot about me! It was overcooked and almost too hard to eat! No salad garnish either although the blackboard said everything came with salad. By then I was running so late I didn’t ask for the salad. Will not be going back.

very large choice of fillings for sandwich etc.. nice place with small indoor seating area we ate here a couple of times ....

We had just arrived in Bude and was walking round looking for somewhere to have a nice cup of tea, when we came upon the BUTTER BUN. It said dogs welcome so in we went, to be greeted by a lovely lady. We order a Hunter's Chicken Toastie and a bowel of Leek and Potato Soup. Tea for 2 as well. While waiting for our food the lovely lady came and treat our 2 dogs to chicken treats, which they both enjoyed very much. Places like this that make you very welcome with your dogs are just fantastic in our books and are always good to eat in. Our food was great the service was good and the staff very friendly.Also we had 2 cookies to finish with our tea which were gorgeous.Thanks to the lovely lady and a X form our dogs for the treats.

Waited 45mins for a couple of panini and some soup, they were bust but this was ridiculous. When raised with staff they apologised but were also rude and defensive

Great food and friendly service

A friendly little cafe in the centre of Bude. The decaf coffee was excellent, which you don't find everywhere, so Kudos! My wife and I had a great toasted sandwich lunch and hot drink.

This is the place to eat ...beef burritos yorkshire pudding wrap and the meat ball baguette are the best ...friendly staff too :)

As local hotel was (we thought) expensive for breakfast, we ate at this cafe. The breakfasts were lovely - hubby had full English (said it was one of the best he's ever eaten out) and I had Scrambled Egg with smoked salmon and vocado on granary bread. Delicious. So the menu choice was great. Friendly staff too. Thank you.

Lovely food, great coffee and gorgeous cakes plus plenty of gluten free options, friendly service all at a reasonable price .

There really is not alot to say about this place?! It's just amazing! Every time we holiday in Cornwall we always make a special trip to this place! It can be a short wait for the food but its more than worth it

Popped in to get a quick lunch with our two older children and an 18 month old. We only ordered three sandwiches and they took 25 minutes to be made with some people coming in after us getting their sandwiches before us?! I at first thought it must have been because I’d ordered a halloumi wrap....however upon eating it the grilled halloumi wasn’t even warm! No apologies for the wait while we were stood there, it was extremely infuriating and they seemed to become annoyed when our toddler began to play up due to the wait! If we hadn’t already paid we would have walked out.

We’ve been here for a week and have only just stumbled on this little gem of a shop! Wonderful atmosphere, clean and nicely decorated, friendly staff and out of this world sandwiches. We ordered the chicken club & chicken, bacon and avocado and they arrived piled high with fresh ingredients and all for very reasonable prices. Keep up the great work taking the rest of the high street to school - we’ll be back tomorrow :)

Popped in here for lunch with our dog. Having read earlier reviews I was really happy with the speed of the custom made sandwiches, did we have to wait a little, yes HOWEVER they were made fresh in front of us and were delicious. If we wanted speedy we would have gone to impersonal subway. Instead what we got was polite and attentive service for both ourselves and our dog (she had chicken as a treat) and a healthy and hearty lunch

Yeah, cracking quality and portions. The carrot cake is the one.

Being vegan I sometimes find it difficult to eat out with friends but Butter Bun had so many different options for all of the group I went out with on Saturday, the staff were very friendly even though they were rushed off their feet and everybody really enjoyed their food. Seems it’s the place the locals go for their lunch too, which is a good sign. Will go back when ever I’m in Bude for sure.

I live in bude and have used butter bun often, Everytime I am increasingly infuriated by the speed of service, but this time pushed me into reviewing, Me and my girlfriend went in hoping for two sandwiches quickly for lunch, It took 15 minutes to be served in a PACKED restaurant of just 4 people. When we did eventually get served the process of watching the lady make two sandwiches was unbelievably painful. It must’ve taken 20 minutes, and she was getting the order consistently wrong...despite writing the bloody thing down. It’s honestly like watching people in slow motion, It’s a big shame because the foods decent once it arrives but the efficiency of the staff is just appalling,

Fat Friday every week is spent at Butter Bun, honestly couldn't recommend this place enough. It has character, charm and amazing food, all handmade and prepared for you to order.

Friendly staff, good food and free Wi-Fi! It would be remiss of you not to stop by!

An empty looking cafe and enough seating for you and your children on a Saturday lunchtime in the Easter holidays - too good to be true?

Many Thanks Butter Bun for your amazing sandwiches. very reasonably priced and service is always good.

Try the meat feast... best sandwich ever! Lovely friendly staff, a must on every visit to Bude.

Amazing food and perfect service. Can't recommend highly enough! You must stop here to eat!

My third visit to the Butter Bun and have to admit defeat.

Last visited when in the previous location. Was blown away back then. This time, less so.

We have been eating at the Butter bun for many years now (while on holiday in bude) always found the staff friendly and welcoming, we have eaten lunch there 4 times this week as my daughter loves the jacket pots (beans & cheese) and my husband loves the super fast internet connection. Would def recommend it.

Visited hoping for a quick takeaway lunch and the lady making the sandwiches seemed to be in absolutely no rush at all, took around 20 minutes to make two sandwiches. Also specified a vegan requirement which we were told was no problem at all but then my sandwich came covered mayonnaise. The food was ok but probably won't come back.

Popped in for a jacket potatoes whilst in Bude. Caught our eye from the outside. Very modern and cl3an looking. Friendly staff. Great prices, good portion size. Only to be improved is perhaps slightly more side salad. Good vegan and veggie options.

use this place 2 to 3 times a week for lunch on the go ,better if you ring order in to collect as service can be a little slow if you go in on spec.

Love this place for a quick lunch/snack. Cater to most dietary requirements and also feed your dog chicken.

Precioso Pan plana falafel. Bien merece una visita y el personal es encantador. A un precio razonable y claramente la calidad de sus ingredientes.

A menudo pop aquí un bocado cuando en Bude. Sándwiches son hechos a la orden y también venden pasteles y empanadas. El café es excelente, los precios son razonables y siempre una cálida bienvenida. Altamente recomendado.

meatball & cheese baguette...OMG so lovely! Bright & lively new venue; looks to be working well. Welcoming staff & good...

Fancied a full breakfast and the price appealed to my frugal nature, never been before but wasn't disappointed freshly cooked, nice ingredients and tea and toast in the price. Wife was watching the sandwiches being made over my shoulder and had a running commentary on the sizeable filings and we should try next time.

We stopped by (4 adults, 2 children and 2 babies) for lunch, never been before, great big cups of tea, because I'm akward I wanted something that's not in the huge menu..no problem. Great value for money, great sandwiches and toasties no messing or daft stuff going on just you get what you want..Top marks..wouldn't hesitate in returning when we are back in this area.

Don't get me wrong, the staff are fantastic and the range of sandwiches also fantastic. We popped in for a takeaway sandwich during a lunchtime. The shop was relatively quiet but there were a few in. We were welcomed relatively quickly by a polite and friendly member of staff. The first disappointment was the meatballs coming out of the freezer to be microwaved for the meatball sandwich. The second disappointment was the time it took to make two sandwiches. Although we have come use to the laid back lifestyle of Bude, over 20 minutes to make 2 sandwiches is a bit excessive. The third and final disappointment was the stomach ache and nausea I suffered after the meatball sandwich.Hopefully we just had a bad experience!

We spotted this little shop / cafe and went in for a lunchtime sandwich. Have to say they were the best sandwiches we've ever had! Lovely staff as well.

For a place that is surrounded by cafes and bars, this has to be the only healthy choice in Bude. Fresh and tasty! My favourite place in town!!

Popped in here for a coffee and a bite to eat whilst waiting to check in to our hotel ...... What a find so many choices of sandwich fillings,jacket potato toppings etc all sounding delicious. It took us 10 minutes to decide what to have and we really enjoyed what we had. Would definitely recommend to others ... Excellent value for money.

Went in for breakfast in April (full monty for a fiver including tea/coffee) and it was delicious. Our pug was welcomed with open arms too, and even given some treats along the way! Thoroughly recommended! We'll be back sometime!

Lovely staff, really welcomed even half an hour before closing. Great food too. Excellent all round.

I and my work colleagues go here regularly for teas/coffees and their excellently filled sandwiches, i don't how they get it all in the slices...

We go to Bude on many occasions and visit most of the cafes with mixed outcomes but usually pretty good. Butter Bun though is right in the heart of the main street, tucked away but is well worth checking out ! We went on Friday and had a lovely sandwich ( chicken, bacon , mayo on granary with salad ).........superb with lovely coffee. Great staff and very friendly all round and good value too
