Stopped in on our way back home and I gotta say it did not disappoint! The two girls were back there working so hard and they were so sweet. I got the Italian panini, super delicious and a half Caesar. The portions are great for the price! Will be back if we are ever in the area again!!!

We ordered the BLT on rye and a side salad, "grilled cheese Panini," and tomato bisque. Our food was served hot and fresh, the ladies were so nice as well. There's a lot of food for your money, we couldn't finish it, had to get it to go

Super cute place with tasty food and Young's ice cream. Cozy and comfortable with antique decor. Right next to antique Mall. The chicken salad sandwich on a croissant with a side of fruit was delicious. It comes with a mini muffin. Looking forward to trying their other options. ...

Food was fantastic! You go in and order under the sign that says "order food". There is additional seating upstairs in the back. One ADA compliant restroom. Wait time was excellent, gave us time to rest, eat a relaxing lunch without being rushed. They also have Young's Jersey Dairy ice cream. Ladies who were working were amazing, kind and polite. They love what they do. Self-serve for the straws, napkins, etc, and you may need to brush off your own table, but it's the only way to get a table.

Great atmosphere with sweet employees and delicious food!! The paninis are huge, and tomato bisque with homemade croutons are the best! Young’s dairy ice cream is an added bonus.

If I could give infinity stars, I would. The Butterchurn ladies are the best. I feel like I'm from Cheers, I walk in and they greet me by name. Thank you for feeding me and for always having bright smiles when I come in. The food is fast and delicious!

2025 April Great experience at the Butter Churn Cafe today. We had some very good paninis, tomato soup, and ended up coming back for some Young's Jersey Dairy ice cream after a walk through town. The staff were engaging and made sure we had a good time. We went at a slow time, so street parking was available. I can see at peak times, however, you'll have to park at one of the several off Main Street lots and walk a bit. Prices are a bit steep, but the food was fresh and I couldn't complain about the portion size.
