About Butter Cream

Butter Cream balances suburban espresso counter ease with crisp, crackling pork banh mi at pocket-friendly prices. Tucked into Metropol, this low-key shopping strip haunt turns out morning flat whites and runny-yolk bacon-and-egg rolls before shifting smoothly to Vietnamese street lunches. Regulars make beelines for the grilled chicken and roast pork baguettes stuffed with fresh herbs and chilli, alongside cooling rice paper rolls and vermicelli bowls. Takeaway cups frequently come scribbled with handwritten notes and quick illustrations from the counter crew. Breakfast orders run through hot banana and walnut bread alongside classic eggs benedict smothered in rich hollandaise.

  • Suburban Vietnamese-cafe hybrid: Crisp baguettes packed with grilled pork, chilli, and herbs share the counter with vermicelli bowls, rice paper rolls, and hearty eggs benedict.
  • Personalised coffee service: Takeaway cups often arrive decorated with handwritten notes, quick drawings, and names from the friendly front-of-house team.
  • Everyday suburban value: Generous portions of banh mi rolls, toasties, and Merlo espresso priced for casual, low-fuss neighborhood dining.

  • Frictionless Stop for Morning Commutes

    Easy parking and efficient preparation make morning visits seamless for grab-and-go espresso, bacon and egg muffins, and warm toasties.

    Located in a local shopping centre (outdoors) there is plenty of parking available. Great for a lunch break, quick brekkie or coffee stop.

  • Consistent Coffee and Breakfast on the Go

    Dependable Merlo coffee brewed to optimal temperature pairs with piping hot toasted banana bread for daily morning routines.

    Merlo coffee is made well, never burnt and always a good temperature.
