buttE— butter,

but make it bold. Stand alone.

At buttE (ba-tae), we believe that classics are meant to be reimagined — and that rebellion can taste like caramel.

Born from a love of the canelé, the iconic French pastry with its golden crust and custard heart, buttE blends heritage with attitude.

Our name nods to butter, the heart of baking — and to the spirit of a butte: a form that stands by itself. Like a canelé, each piece is its own presence — compact, sculpted, and bold in character. We flipped the spelling on purpose, because we’re not afraid to stand apart, to play, to reinvent tradition and make it feel alive again.

Every canelé from buttE is small-batch baked, with time, precision, and a touch of mischief.

It’s not just dessert — it’s a statement: that indulgence can be bold, beauty can be imperfect, and sweetness can carry an edge.

sharing our favorite treat, from our kitchen to yours

For us, caneles have always been more than just a pastry—they are an obsession. We fell in love with the unique magic of this French classic: that dark, caramelized, crispy exterior protecting a tender, custardy heart.

We started buttE with a simple mission: to share the joy of a perfectly baked canele with everyone. Whether you are a long-time fan of the classic Bordeaux style or trying one of our reimagined flavors for the first time, we hope each bite brings you as much happiness as baking them brings us.
