Background and Development From the beginning, Butter Day has captivated dessert lovers with its "macaron specialty, rich sauce, and reduced-sugar recipe." The brand consistently updates its social media accounts with business information and dining schedules, expanding beyond desserts to include an all-day brunch and a variety of beverages, creating a one-stop afternoon hotspot offering "desserts + light meals + coffee." This strategy of starting with a single strength (macarons) and expanding into light meals and coffee has steadily built a strong reputation and a growing customer base in the Chongde area.  ⸻ Enter Butter Day as seen in the photos: cream-colored walls, white gauze curtains, and an arc-shaped floor lamp My first impression of the "cream and white" palette was immediately captivating. Walking upstairs, I discovered the main dining area, where large white gauze curtains cast a soft light. Sculptures and geometric ornaments line the walls, and playful paintings of red apples and green pears hang in the hallway. Just like the photos, it's a space that invites you to linger and chat quietly. 😊 Seating is primarily for couples and small round tables, with window seats being the most sought-after. The first floor houses the order and dessert counter, offering chiffon dishes, tarts, cannelloni, and a row of macarons. Weekdays are less crowded, but on weekends, the limited 90-minute time limit means you need to be on time.  ⸻ What to eat? Our Order and Taste • Macaron (Classic): A thin, crispy crust with a rich, yet not overly sweet filling. The reduced-sugar recipe is perfect for someone like me who prefers to avoid sugar; it pairs perfectly with a hot latte. • Smoked Salmon Pesto and Cheese Sandwich: A scrambled egg and umami-rich smoked salmon sandwiched between crispy toasted bread delivers a richer, more complex flavor than expected (reference price $280; subject to on-site menu). • Herb-Seared Chicken Breast and Zucchini Sandwich: Lean protein paired with zucchini and lettuce, a refreshing option even for fitness enthusiasts (reference price $260). • Formulated Fresh Milk Tea: A smooth tea-milk ratio with a hint of grain flavor (reference price $120; discount available with a drink purchased with the meal). • Black Apple Coffee: A coffee base with a refreshing, fruity acidity, perfect for those who don't like milk (reference price $130).  Supplemental Menu: The restaurant features all-day dining, Kyoto mochi pancakes, tiramisu, espresso, pour-over single-origin drinks, sparkling drinks, and decaffeinated beverages. There is no service charge, and cutlery and water are self-service.  ⸻ Dining Rules and Informal Reminders • Minimum charge: One drink per person (or one all-day meal). • Dining Time: 120 minutes on weekdays, 90 minutes on holidays. • Business Hours/Closed: 10:00 AM–6:00 PM; Closed Wednesdays and Thursdays. • Other Information: Commercial photography is prohibited inside the restaurant; it can be crowded on holidays, so arrive early to secure a table.  ⸻ Six Reasons I Recommend Butter Day 1. Sweet yet not cloying macarons: Reduced sugar recipe and a variety of flavors make them photogenic and not cloying.  2. A well-balanced atmosphere: White screen windows, sculptural ornaments, and cream-colored walls create a soft, photogenic atmosphere without being overpowering. 3. Brunch and dessert options: Besides desserts, the all-day dining menu and sandwiches ensure that even those with a sweet tooth can enjoy their meal. 4. Clear rules and simple itineraries: Minimum consumption, time limits, no service fee, and self-service water are all included, making it easy to plan your trip. 5. Convenient location in the Chongde shopping district: Numerous dining options are nearby, making it easy to combine day trips. 6. Affordable prices: Drinks are mostly under 100 yuan, and sandwiches are a satisfying 20-plus yuan; overall, the value is good. ⸻ Itinerary and Time Management • Photo shooting time: Recommended time is 10:00 AM–1:00 PM, with the second-floor windows offering the best natural light. • Duration: 120 minutes on weekdays is enough to sample a wide range of savory and sweet dishes. • How to Get There: Get off at Wenxin Chongde MRT Station, then take a bus or rideshare to No. 468, Section 1, Chongde 10th Road.
