Food was great! Classic cozy diner. Fast and friendly service. Breakfast was delish.........

Food, service and ambience are all top notch. This was our first time at Buttercup pantry and we were so happy that on the way out we were talking about coming back again to Placerville just to have lunch here. They have a really nice menu for breakfast and lunch/dinner. The parking lot is a little tight, but everybody seems to be OK with that. I had the turkey sandwich on a croissant which was as big as a bears paw! Our boy had grilled ham and cheese and Hubs decided he was going all out and got the triple decker hamburger. That thing was enormous! Even he said "Oh no!" when it came to the table. We all enjoyed every bite and we tried the Apple Dumpling for dessert. This is shareable. Actually, everything we had was shareable. But this dumpling, well, they take a whole apple, spiral cut it, coat it with the right amount of cinnamon/sugar so it's not hot and not overly sweet and then wrap it in flaky pastry and bake it. I was full and still ate that wonderful bit of heaven on earth. So I gained 2 pounds. I'll lose it. But don't let that put you off from trying something from their easy to read, well represented menu. Super nice wait staff and who ever is cooking in the kitchen are either masters at their craft or magicians! No photos. Too busy eating.

My partner and I came in Sunday morning for my birthday breakfast and this is now hands down our new favorite breakfast spot. We were looking for a restaurant to stop at that's close to Apple Hill since that's why we planned to be in their area and this was one that popped up. I am SO happy this is the one we ended up choosing because they did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is so cute I love all the teapot and different fun things they had everywhere. The service was amazing. And the food was absolutely delicious. My fiancé got the Irish Benedict. I got the Garden Scramble and added meat and avocado. Everything was amazing. This was the best first stop of our day. We 100% will be coming back, I highly recommend :)

Excellent service, loved the food. We ordered chicken avocado sandwiches and Philly cheesesteaks! Super home-y vibes with a very comfortable feel. Loved all the cool decor!

Independently owned restaurant in downtown Placerville that is full of fun memorabilia. It's a great place for breakfast we had the classic with eggs and bacon. Friendly service with a local feeling.

Apple dumplings are a definite MUST here! Very unique, creative and tasty. A candy apple inside a pastry. I'll never leave Placer without stopping by to get some to-go! Cinnamon roll was good too.

Very busy place on a weekend morning. The parking could be a challenge. Love the old fashioned decor! You can easily kill time waiting for your table. My skillet was huge but just okay (and the fact it came in a fake skillet was such a disappointment...has to be a cast iron skillet)! The side pancakes are fluffy and tasty. My husband sweet potato fries are great too. Their menu is huuuuge so you can definitely find something for everyone.

Celebrating my daughter in laws birthday we went to breakfast. The only criteria was chicken fried steak and eggs. Quick yelp search and off we went. Everyone was happy with the food. Parking is a bit of a pain if they are busy. Service was friendly and prompt. The decor is cute. I would come again when in the area.
