Buttercup Bake Shop

We cannot stop eating the best banana pudding ever to be made! The rich and thick pudding mixed with fresh banana bites and crushed vanilla wafers gives that creamy yet crunchy cookie feel all in one.

Was looking for a place to please the nephews, and not just they enjoyed the cupcakes , but I loved them as well . Get the hummingbird which is banana , I've read that red velvet is the best.

When we need a sweet fix, we head to Buttercup Bakery . Soft, moist cakes tooped with sweet, fluffy frosting . While we stick with the delicious Red Velvet cupcake , sometime we go with the classic Vanil

Cupcakes , sure, but the puddings are where it's at. Ask for (generous!) free samples !

The Buttercup Golden and Red Velvet cupcakes are excellent. And the Buttercup's Famous Banana Pudding is a must try.

Their banana pudding is probably the most banana-y pudding there is in the city and I tried many if not all.

Banana pudding is the bomb. Better than Magnolia Bakery 's! *gasp*

Best red velvet cake in NYC. The banana pudding also rivals Magnolia and Sugar Sweet Sunshine

My favorite cupcakes in the city ... Can't go wrong with the original vanilla on vanilla or red velvet . The banana pudding is to die for also!

Red velvet and the lemon cupcakes are amazzzzzzing but you can't go wrong with the classic vanilla cake and chocolate icing cupcake .

Everything is beyond divine here! A must visit when in NYC for me!

The place is cute , and the variety is huge. The cupcakes were just ok (the frosting was not my favorite), and overall they aren't as good as in Sprinkles .

Skip the cupcakes and try the peanut butter cheesecake , which is about as dense and sweet a foodstuff as you can find anywhere.

Cookie dough cupcake and classic chocolate cupcake were great!

Get the banana pudding and some red velvet cupcakes . Eat it all in one sitting, rinse, repeat.

Try the Raspberry Marzipan Cheesecake - The best and only good marzipan cake I ever tried

The strawberry rhubarb pie is sooooo good! It's the kind of pie that makes my day sweeter and better.

Way too much icing for my taste. Cupcakes are fluffy, but I prefer mine moister and denser. Of course, sugar is sugar. U can't really complain, favors are nice and intense. Service is friendly .

Try the bargain ($1) chocolate chip cookie squares. Delicious!

The banana pudding is amazing... gives Magnolia's a run for its money.

Eat the chocolate pudding and all your problems will disappear. It's that good!!!
