This was our 3rd stop on the 11/22/09 "Cupcake Crawl' walking tour in the lower east side. Simply put, it was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
I can't believe more bakeries don't do this: choose a cake (banana, chocolate, or vanilla), choose a frosting (too many to name), choose how many you'd like. Amazing!
I ordered a 4-pack to share with my boyfriend ($11). Unfortunately when we went, there were not any banana cakes. We got chocolate w/peanut butter, chocolate w/caramel, chocolate w/raspberry, and vanilla w/maple & honey.
These were fantastic! So soft (and the vanilla cupcake was fresh out of the oven, thus still warm!) and not too sweet of a cake. The frosting was very sweet, but smooth, complimenting the not-too-sweet cake. We still have yet to eat the other two because we really want to savor them!
Another option at Butter Lane is to get "frosting shots" for $1. They let you taste the frostings before you choose one you'd like, then they simply put a heaping spoonful in a small paper cup for you. Simple and probably delicious. (I'll probably get that next time!)
The shop itself is a hole-in-the-wall. There is no seating, but I suppose that's a good thing because I'd probably never be able to leave. The decor is simple and they play great, light, fun music.
Definitely a place to check out if you're in the lower east side.
Butterlane is undoubtedly and hands down the best and perfect cupcakes in the city...and this week reconfirmed everything I loved about Butterlane!! @_@
OMG their new fall icing flavors are SCRUMPTIOLICIOUS! ^_^
PUMPKIN and APPLE SPICE! ....and where in the city would you find a banana cake?!?! Huh?...everywhere else has either chocolate or vanilla, but Buttler Lane has BANANA! #_#
...one icing flavor I would NOT get is their mint chocolate....I really couldn't wrap my mind over that, but I am willing to overlook that miniscule flaw! ^(o)^
The cake itself is soooooo MOIST too! I have this surge of giddyness writing about Butterlane and it's making me want to scream it's name at the top of my lungs! ...ooo....ok I don't want them to blacklist me so I'll keep that to SCREAMING ON YELP INSTEAD!!!! ^_^
It is also such a CUTIE little bakery! I feel like little miss muffet who sat on a tuffet eating my little perfect cupcake *_*
Ok...I may be biased cause it's literally just across the street, but I've tried many cupcakes in my lifetime and still they can't beat my banana cake with pumpkin icing experience that I had to have 3 times this week! I sound like a pig! but I seriously couldn't resist! @_@ There was no will power when it comes to Butterlane, I just simply had to yoga extra hard afterwards....which is entirely WORTH IT!!!! :) ...no shame whatsoever! ...even a little bit proud!
I really think Butter Lane has the best cupcakes. They let you taste the butter cream frostings… Read more »
(Sigh)
After 4 years of love and dedication.. it happened. Something I never thought could ever happen. I was so faithful, so honest.
I cheated.... on Sugar Sweet Sunshine! :o(
It was temptation I tell you!
At first I thought maybe this would be just a one night stand...
But the sweet, moist taste kept bringing be back for more and more.
I feel so dirty but so good at the same time. With options like Banana Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting or Chocolate delight with Cream Cheese.. I just couldn't help myself. The options, the custom made selections...drove me crazy in love.
Call me a SLUT if you wish! But I am a SLUT in LOVE!
It's all worth it.. I'm sorry Sugar Sweet Sunshine, we had a good long run.
I'm a bad bad naughty little girl....
Butter Lane is my new Daddy. ;o)
It's quaint, clean, and smells amazing. I've had cupcakes at a handful of places in the city, but these are by far the best thus far.
The Cupcake Queen told me Butter Lane was the best. She was wrong! The Cupcake Queen is officially dethrowned.
I had such high expectations for Butter Lane. I went on a jaunt through the East Village with Stacey C on a cupcake tour. We were going to the "best". Stacey C even had it down on her list. She had done extensive research on Yelp.
Butter Lane was definitely sunny. It was yellow all over and super cute complete with a rocking chair and patio furniture. I almost felt like I should have drank a sweet tea with my cupcake. When we got there we were confused as heck. What do we order? I think in the daytime there are endless frosting flavors, mix and match extravaganzas and taste testing galore. Since it was near closing time, all we were offered were the end of the night cupcakes. I was fine with that. Sometimes too many choices can make your head spin.
We settled on a chocolate cupcake with mint frosting and a banana cupcake with peanut butter frosting. I really liked the chocolate cupcake. It was soft and very chocolatey. The frosting offered a hint of mint only but it was good. The banana cupcake was strong but very dry and almost rock like. The peanut butter frosting had crusted and it did not taste like peanut butter at all to me. Cupcake fail.
I'd go to Butter Lane for the ambiance but not to get the best cupcake. Magnolia's taste better and that's not saying much.
I love cupcakes, but usually find magnolia to be packed with tourists and too blown up. Most of those cupcakes there are missing something, the thing that makes them taste homemade and fresh. I also need a good creamy icing!
I love creative cupcake flavors, so I was in love with this place right after I saw it's flavor combos. Vanilla cupcake with cinnamon honey icing! Banana cupcake with french chocolate merengue icing! it was delicious. And, the ingredients are all organic, which I swear must add to why the flavor is so great and so much better than other NYC cupcake shops.
So good, and the atmosphere is so adorable.
Definitely try it! These are my favorite cupcakes!
Yelp: LET US GIVE 1/2 stars!!
Clearly I would like to award an extra half star to Butter Lane..but it's not allowed.
Anyway, I had a butter lane cupcake @ the Madison Park market this past weekend. I tried this cupcake the day after a disappointing bakery experience @ the Chelsea market. Yes, I did have cupcakes 2 days in a row.
I tried a chocolate cupcake w/ caramel icing & a kettlecorn popcorn garnish.
The icing was tasty and the popcorn was actually perfect (crunchy/salty+ icing=awesome) on the cupcake. Sadly, the chocolate cake portion of this cupcake was just a little too dry.
I don't know what it is about cupcakes in NY, but they all fall flat! Perhaps the cake quality suffers because of quantity?
I was happy to have an interesting icing and garnish combo going on, but really sad that the cake portion just couldn't compete. Still, better than some of the others I have tried..so it (WOULD) get 3.5 stars instead of 3 if I could just have free reign.
The lady behind the counter said the banana cupcake with cream cheese frosting was the most popular, so I got that on good faith that it would be amazing. UGHH. Completely the opposite. The frosting was ok, but the cake was inedible- dry and stale. Maybe I would've had better luck getting it in the morning, but as a shop that sells only cupcakes, one would hope that you serve freshly baked ones throughout the day, even after work. If you have cupcakes that have been sitting around for several hours, toss em, don't sell em! You lost me as a customer. It would've been better had I given the $3 to a homeless person. At least that would've made me feel good about myself. Now I just feel like a chump.
If I were to rate this place solely on their frosting it would definitely get a solid 4 stars from me, however this place falls short when it comes to the cake.
I'm not sure if it was because I came here around 10:30 at night (nice thing is their long hours) but the cake portion was definitely not very good at all. Very dry, however this place is definitely known more for their icing.
There's about enough icing for you to make half the cake moist enough to enjoy. Given that you can imagine just how good the icing is when it comes to balancing out a mediocre (at best) cake. Also based on this formula they could probably make something I'd find especially delicious if they either:
a) Double the amount of icing
or
b) Halve the amount of cake.
I'm saying they should go with option a, since that would be a much better value and icing is their strong point here.
It's a cute little store space with colors that mimic and compliment the cupcakes themselves. The icing available for trial is also great. No need to make hasty decisions since you can try it all!
Overall I wouldn't purposely trek out here for their cupcakes, but I certainly wouldn't turn one down if I were given one.
Something is off with the icing to cake ratio. I felt like there was barely any cake, or that it was too flat or caved in. I like icing, but not THAT much. Also, I came on a weekday night and they were out of vanilla cake. And they only have vanilla, chocolate, and banana cake. I expect more than that if you're in a cupcake shop!
I'm pretty much in love with Butter Lane right now. 3 trips in the past week or so for friends'… Read more »
I love the Butter Lane philosophy (all natural, fresh baked cupcakes) and loved that they have a nice little stand on the high line, and they were a step above some of the other cupcake places in NY in that you could tell they were fresh-- mostly from the texture. But the taste of the cake was on the bland side, and the icing was just not my style at all. It had a very strong almost liquor-like taste to it. Maybe its just heavy on the vanilla extract? Two stars seems a little low because I really do like that they bake fresh, but "meh, i've had be better" is just completely accurate for the cupcake i had.
Judging by the other reviews, though, i think i probably need to stop in and try their cupcakes in the shop. Maybe I just had one on an off day?
The chocolate cupcake with mint frosting was definitely fresh baked, moist and delicious but there was a bit of oomph missing. It was different having the frosting more melty and thin than thick. But with the lackluster mint flavoring I forgot all about it as soon as I was finished eating.
I would say the experience was on par with the cupcakes in the DC scene, although DC would win, it just didn't hit my c-spot (cupcake spot).
Decided to pop over here after the bf went to Turntable Lab.
Underwhelmingly small cupcakes. I don't know what it was... it's a cute and cozy place, but I was simply disappointed. I don't know what it was... With the millions of cupcake places here and throughout the country... I've had better.
"There is always time for a cupcake."
- on a sign in the corner of Butter Lane
I remain steadfastly a non-pastry eater, preferring savory over sweet, but sometimes I give in, and will concede that there certainly ARE times for cupcakes.
Places like Butter Lane test my resolve. Open since last year, Butter Lane employs psychological warfare tactics, casting a menacing-yet-calming ambiance in their store, pumping deceptively hip music into the air; just saying their name makes you smile, doesn't it?
Beyond the deliberately playful name, their cupcake creations are moist decadence, guaranteed to win over even the most sugar averse person. I still have nightmares about their banana cupcake - one of many available - and the devilish key lime frosting.
The lemonade I had was saccharine, but that's what I deserve, drinking lemonade with a cupcake. Normal people don't do that.
Swing by the Village and kidnap a cupcake - or six. They're even open late, for you sick, sick night owls.
The cupcakes are so....ugh, so f'ing good. I was going to say something that sounded beautiful and poetic, but that really wouldn't nail it.
I HATE icing on cupcakes, because they are always way too sweet. But it's the first time I will actually eat the icing before the cake.
If it weren't for the lifeless stupid woman who I order from, I would give it more stars. As a customer I expect to be greeted nicely by someone who makes the cutest and most yummy cupcakes... because it seems you have to be awesome to make something that happy.
After going out and saying 'thank you!" with a big smile, while getting attitude, I often have the urge to take that delicious cupcake and throw it in her face.
But I wouldn't. Because it would be a waste of something that should be in my belly.
For 3$ a cupcake its pretty expensive I think. Especially if that includes tip.
You can't have everything, huh.
Infinitely better than magnolia and you don't have to wait in a line that wraps around the block.
The taste is homemade- I had vanilla w pumpkin frosting. Not too much frosting and the cake was delicious. They also had a Strawberry on banana cake offering as well as a sort of "build-your-own" cupcake situation.
Lovely spot.
I guess after the last places we were at, we hadn't had enough sweets yet. Melissa was out to fix that, with our next stop being Butter Lane. They do one thing (cupcakes) and do it pretty well. In fact I--
Kanye: Yo, Jakob. I'm really happy for Butter Lane. I'm gonna let you finish, but Magnolia had the best cupcakes of all times.
I'm pretty sure that was, like all things Kanye says, wrong and pointless. Really though, while Butter Lane is good, the bar I'm holding it to is Chikalicious. When it comes to crazy specialty type cupcakes, it's not this place. A really good cake though, with some good frosting? Yeah, that's this place. My favorite out of the assortment we got was the banana, and I'm not even much of a banana person normally. It was full of flavor, moist, and not mushy. I don't know, I feel like mushing banana is a byproduct of all things banana and bread. Butter Lane got it right though, so congrats to them!
The other cupcakes were pretty yummy, but they just didn't have the effect Chika's did on me. Still, this place was solidly YUM. The maple + banana though, that's what made this place special.

The stumptown coffee is delicious and brewed very strong. Perfect to cut through those glorious cakes.
One thing, don't get the maple frosting--- you will go into catatonic shock from their too-sweetness.
Butter Lane sells adorable cupcakes on a beautiful street in the East Village. I had a vanilla cupcake with apple spice frosting which was deliciously sweet and decedent.
What really set Butter Lane apart from other bakeries is the wide selection of frosting that they offer. This allows one to get exactly what they want and for me that was apple spice - seasonal and tasty! Service was nice and overall the experience was great. Highly recommended.
I came here thinking this was yet another chic and trendy cupcake joint. It was about 10pm and I was rather disappointed. They didn't have much left so we got the mint chocolate cupcake and a banana peanut butter frosting cupcake. It's funny because I actually thought the peanut butter banana was decent but Rachel A. thought the mint chocolate was better. Still, both tasted like they were end-of-the-day ready to be tossed cupcakes. Not as moist as Sugar Sweet Sunshine and kind of close to being too dry. Maybe next time I should go back an hour after they open to give them another chance. This place is really small too. Just one perfect table to chill outside and very few seats inside.
Yes, the cupcakes are $3 but where else can I get light French icing? My groupon entitled me to 50% off 6 cupcakes (normally $16 for 6) - I got 3 French vanilla icing / vanilla cake, 2 French chocolate / chocolate, and 1 caramel / banana.
You can tell that they use generous portions of quality ingredients. I don't care if their cupcakes are organic (they are) but I do like to see real vanilla beans in my vanilla frosting, chunks of banana in my banana cake, and taste good butter in my cupcakes. The French icing is a little messier than normal American icing, and will easily transfer to clothes and fingers if you're not careful. However, it's light, airy, and not as sugary sweet as normal frosting.
The French vanilla / vanilla cupcake was really good. The cake wasn't as moist as Billy's but it was still very tasty. The French chocolate / chocolate was more of a disappointment as the chocolate taste in both cake and icing was too light. I prefer my chocolate desserts to taste very strongly of chocolate! The caramel / banana cupcake was also very good. Not only was the banana cake delicious, but the caramel frosting added just the right amount of buttery sweetness.
One thing I love (and sort of hate) about Butter Lane is the ability to customize your cupcakes by picking both cake and frosting flavors. It's excellent if you know exactly what you want, but horrible if you want to try everything like I did. At the same time, each cupcake comes out simply perfect because there are only two components - cake and icing. I'm not a big fan of Crumbs because they fill their cupcakes and then load them with Oreos and candy bars which really defeats the purpose of eating a cupcake because it's so deliciously simple.
My curiousity about the other icing flavors means that I'll just have to come back another freshly frosted cupcake. I haven't tried the strawberry frosting yet! Or the lemon! Or the maple! Or the cream cheese!
Where else can you get a banana cake cupcake with cinnamon frosting?
It was sweet. It was small. It was perfect. Yes, it was also $3, but I can handle a $3 dessert if it makes me smile and makes my tastebuds sing. I love the combination of banana and cinnamon, and boy, was that intense cinnamon! It verged on spicy. While it kind of overwhelmed the banana cake, I did indeed taste banana. I also appreciated the little dollop of honey on top of the icing. I sampled a taste of my friend's maple icing and immediately had icing envy (even though the cinnamon was really good!).
They also sell "icing shots" for $1, if you just want your icing straight up. Cute idea, especially since they have so many intriguing icing flavors.
Butter Lane, marry me--please.
Your cupcakes are deliciously moist--especially the banana. I want to swim through tubs of your flavorful, just-right sweet, just-right creamy frosting. Blueberry! Key lime! Mm, cinnamon with honey drizzle...
Other pluses:
- quaint, cute.
- excellent, friendly service.
- opened late to satisfy those evening cravings.
Mmm...
The idea is really cute - you choose your own cupcake and icing (and there are a lot of icing choices!) but that's the only positive thing about this place. The cake was dry and tasted like something that was mass produced for the supermarket. Icing didn't taste that cinnamony.
In the cupcake craze things have gotten so ridiculously snazzy. Why do i need to have some raspberry mocha buttercream on a strawberry filled cupcake or some ridiculousness like that? Give me a good cake, slop on some icing and pass it over!
Thats exactly what i like about butter lane! They have 3 types of cake (chocolate, yellow and i think banana) and about 10 icing flavors. You mix and match! If they dont have what you want??? They go in the back and slop some icing on!
I got the french vanilla on chocolate. Now i will say its a fairly small cupcake for three bucks... but hey its new york and everything is more expensive there! The icing? AMAZING. It was so flavorful and rich and just awesome. I wish i hadn't just finished brunch and wasn't about to eat a burger, otherwise i totally would have gotten something with the mocha icing too. I wanted to try them all!
The cake was highly disappointing. It was way too dry. I am taking off a star because they need to improve upon that.
Next time i'm in NYC... i will be here... and bringing some home to share (or really so i can justify trying more flavors)
yum yum! Not earth shatteringly as good as the pistachio at Sugar Sweet Sunshine, but a very good cupcake. I had the banana cupcake with peanut butter frosting, my friend had the special cupcake of the day. He said it was good, but I guess the special ones sit out so the top was crusty (half a star).
I took another half star off for the unbalanced frosting-to-cake ratio. The frosting was going to put me in a sugar induced coma so sadly had to scrape half of it off. What a tragic waste of something peanut butter flavored.
4.5 stars.
One of my FAVORITE cupcake places in the city.
I love everything about it. The people are sweet and friendly. The place is very cute.
I love that you can mix and match your cake and frosting. They have three basic cake flavors: vanilla, chocolate, banana.
Then they have a TON of frosting flavors. I can't remember them all, but you can go to their web site and take a look.
I've had all three cake flavors and the following frostings:
vanilla, chocolate, espresso, blueberry, honey cinnamon, burnt caramel, cream cheese.
These are in my top 5 BEST cupcakes. The cake is so moist and delicious. The frosting is smooth and creamy - not overly sweet and grainy.
I loved all the frosting flavors and combinations I had, except for the burnt caramel. I paired it with chocolate cake and it comes with popcorn on top. It looked really cool, but it just didn't work for me.
My favorite combos are:
banana + cream cheese
vanilla + honey cinnamon
vanilla + blueberry.
You can tell that they use the best organic ingredients.
walking into this store was magical. it was like stepping into cupcake-land. the pastel colored walls with alice in wonderland-like decor, along with the quirky employees made my crappy saturday evening not-so-crappy.
try their chocolate/pumpkin cupcake. you'll fall in love.
Was it the best cupcake I've ever had?
Sadly, no.
That's not to say it was bad.
I've just had better.
I will say this: before coming to Butter Lane, I thought I didn't like buttercream frosting. I now realize that I don't like AMERICAN buttercream. The vanilla french buttercream however, was a revelation. It was light and airy, and tasted slightly like a marshmallow. The chocolate french buttercream was equally tasty.
I didn't care for any of the other frostings I tried there.
The actual cake was not bad. Not too dry, but then again, not that moist either.
The star of the show here are their delicious french buttercreams.
But, I still prefer Tonnie's Minis by far.
I like it!
If I can CHOOSE my own batter and icing...I LIKE IT!
Not only are the choices plentiful but the quality of the icing and batter are wonderful too. I chose a vanilla cake w strawberry icing. The icing was perfect- not to sweet and wonderfully fluffy. The cake itself was perfect too- not too sweet and wonderfully moist. I'm definitely coming back here again to try more flavors.
This place truly stands out from the rest of the NYC cupcakeries. I mean, I love NYC and its food scene, but the cupcakes here are admittedly often horrible (dry cake, overly sweet frosting, and just plain overrated). Buter Lane is helping with that.
Firstly, aside from beverages, all that they sell are cupcakes... That's amazing to think about: they sell only cupcakes, no other baked goods. This place makes me feel like they really put their focus together in creating quality cupcakes, not just cupcakes to feed into the "cupcake craze". Butter Lane uses quality, organic ingredients and I think it shows.
My favorite cupcakes so far have been banana cake with cream cheese frosting (love, love, love) and vanilla cake with strawberry or raspberry frosting (you can see tiny specks of fruit in the frosting, loved that). The vanilla cupcake is nice and chiffon-like: light bottom with a slightly "muffintop-esque" crunch. In general, I think their frostings have just the right amount of sweetness. Sometimes they'll have samples out so you can taste for yourself before ordering.
The Cons: Their chocolate cupcakes haven't wow'ed me too much, but I'd give them another shot another time. Also, the size... yes they are regular cupcake size which is nice and traditional, blah blah blah... but I could eat one in 3, maybe 2 bites!! Wish they were a bit larger for the price.
I would say the best cupcake in NYC. I travel the world in search of a great cupcake. Have not hit a city yet that I didn't search out the perfect cupcake. I am in NYC once a month and always stop into Butter Lane. Don't bother wasting your time on another cupcake in New York. Does it beat Sprinkles? Just maybe it does...
PS..I am not an adventurous cupcaker, I like vanilla all around.
MMM the only place I know that serves banana cupcakes. And they go perfectly with the cream cheese frosting, take my word for it!!
Heavenly.
Not too bad, but certainly not as good as places nearby like Sugar Sweet. The chocolate cake-based ones were horribly disappointing -- dry and crumbly texture, not a well-balanced cocoa flavour. The angel/vanilla cake were much, much better. The American vanilla buttercream frosting was decent, but the chocolate French was really not so good.
Overall? I'd go back if I were in the neighbourhood without a second thought, but I'd certainly not detour to go there.
I'm sorry, but anybody who thinks Chickalicious cupcakes even approach the deliciously inventive small batches of Butter Lane needs to dislodge their head firmly from their ass promptly. I'm sure if you call 9-11, they can send someone to assist you with this right away. You won't regret it. And don't waste your breath: you're welcome.
Major pwnage in the East Village by Butter Lane. Respect.
The Elvis (banana base, peanut butter frosting, and marshmallows; neither excessively sweet nor crumbly) in three or four tragically short-lived bites, rendered irrelevant anything I've ever had at Sugar Sweet or Chickalicious. These are truly artisanal cupcakes without so much as an ounce of self-regard about them. How NY Magazine rated this place behind the bricklike, cardboard-flavored dreck served up by Cupcake Cafe is simply beyond me or any person with so much as a papilla of taste in their mouth. Seriously.
As my friend and I dipped into a pair of cupcakes, a group of police walked in as we were leaving. Cupcake=the new doughnut.
And you can trust NY's finest when it comes to pastry preferences. These little cupcakes have a great soft texture and generous icing in an array of flavors. I tried a vanilla cake with maple icing, which had some crushed nuts on top for a crunchy, salty kick. A little pricier than I hoped and perhaps a tiny bit too sweet, but very tasty.
I'm intrigued by the distinction between "French" and "American" icing. I might have to try two of the $1 icing shots soon for research purposes.
I got a chocolate cupcake with pumpkin icing that was absolutely delicious yesterday. They also get high marks for their Stumptown Coffee, and I believe my iced coffee was only $1.75, which is a great deal for the neighborhood. However, $3 is a little more than I would expect to pay for a small cupcake, so that is why I've only given them 4 stars. Otherwise, the staff is always very friendly and the variety of frostings is wonderful.
Have I really not reviewed this place yet? I've written the review in my head many times... but I suppose it's difficult for me to actually put my feelings into words.
The French buttercream frosting is pretty much a dream come true. Just when I was getting sick of the overly-sugary frosting that is the norm in NYC, I found Butter Lane's frosting. It is difficult to eat other cupcakes now. I find myself missing the lightness and subtle sweetness of the French buttercream. Yes, it really is that good.
Okay, so the cupcake itself probably isn't much different than other places, but the frosting compliments it so perfectly that it doesn't matter. The Stumptown coffee is a nice touch, as is the pitcher of water on the counter for your use. Yes, the cupcakes are expensive, but if you get a box of 4 they're only $2.50 each. And trust me, you'll want more than one.
Last but not least, the staff is amazing. Helpful with suggestions, and at times chatty, but also sarcastic with a touch of condescension. ("A girl came in here asking if we had vegan cupcakes... the place is called BUTTER Lane.") How could you not be when you have the best cupcakes in town?
My suggestion: get out of the Magnolia line immediately and come to Butter Lane. Sit in the park or the tables outside and eat your cupcake. Contemplate the meaningless of a life without cupcakes. You will be satisfied.
The banana cupcakes are amazing here. They're pretty rich and dense, and one should suffice really. The staff is super friendly. Sometimes they have frosting demos, and those are really fun. Free champagne and frosting tips!
I would skip the blueberry frosting. Too sweet and lacked any real blueberry flavoring.
Cupcakes are light & moist. I recently had the Pistachio - it was delicious. A very well done cupcake. Better than Magnolia and Billy's Bakery.
