Butter Tree @ Section 17


My hubby and I were thinking if there is any new places to eat for breakfast.

We have been eating regularly on Sundays at few places in PJ. Let's just say I got a bored and wanted something new and more choices. At 9am, sometimes, it's hard to find cafes concept that opens early

Hence, we circled around Happy Mansion and behold, we found this new place called B
utter Tree. We haven't been coming to this area for a while and were surprised to find something new. We decided to try it out.

There was only one staff that morning and we found out from him that it is part of
Food Foundry. Butter Tree is basically a bakery cum cafe kind of concept.It is tucked in a residential area in Happy Mansion.

This place is cute,small and cozy with only few tables and chairs for customers to dine. Th
eir interior is fill with wooden cutlery, leaf decoration with some baking utensils.

There are variety of buns and fresh bread. I selected a blueberry bread and a latte while he chose banana bun. I find their selection are fresh and they have 50% off on their buns after 6pm.

Besides that, there are cake selections available and also for pre-order.

I definately would like to come back again for breakfast or even tea time.
