Butter & Olive Pastry House Cafe Penang


Butter & Olive, the very name of it conjures up images of wholesome goodness from the farms and fields; natural ingredients that are essential to the making of breads and pastries, so that everything that is delivered from the kitchen is sealed with freshness and topped with a delectable touch that keeps you coming back for more.

Healthy eating has always been integral to the baking principles of Butter & Olive. Where one of their biggest missions is to emphasise on the need for healthy baking through recipes that are low in fat and raw sugar, no high trans fat margarine products, and the use of whole grain flour, butter, fruits, vegetables, and natural yeast that strictly adheres to the measurement and conversion guide to ensure the texture and taste of their baking products would be retained as they are meant to be.

I had the opportunity to review the rather newly opened Butter & Olive Pastry House Cafe located at Sungai Dua. The outlet is located at the same building of U Hotel which is just right beside Tesco Extra. 


Butter & Olive Pastry House has quite a number of outlets within the island and my first walk into this cafe outlet captivated me by the delicious variety of bakes Butter & Olive has to offer. I wished I had a tummy that big to try every single bit of it haha. Everything was so tempting and looks really appealing. You will know why as you go down.


The cafe sets in a rather simple and yet cozy ambiance. Making it an ideal spot for family and friends to dine for scrumptious cafe food, bakery items or even a place to sit back and enjoy the beverages. 


Let's have a look at the items which I had the chance to bite into. They are also some of the recommended items by them. With the quantity of varieties Butter & Olive has in store,  I'm pretty sure there's something for everyone.

Clockwise from far left

A fragrant bread with heaps of cheese and mushroom gives you that pizza-ish taste.
