the better butter
It all started at Jon's acai bowl, smoothie, and juice shop called, "The Spot" in Pittsfield, MA in 2018. While on an attempt to grow
"The Spot" in Florida, Jon was frequently eating power balls from the coffee shop next door. Eventually he thought to himself, "why don't I make these myself with our homemade almond butter?" After an attempt that didn't hold its shape, Jon decided to ditch the sphere, and stumbled into creating this delicious "trail mix in a jar" that we now know as, Bear Butter. After seeing the reaction from every person he gave it to, it was time to build the brand.
​
Fast forward to now - the idea to combine the synergistic businesses became a reality with the first bear butter shop. Serving acai bowls and smoothies to showcase bear butter while fulfilling the original goal of The Spot - to make healthy cool.
​
Okay okay, so what even is bear butter? It's literally the best almond butter ever (other peoples words, not mine) with a unique twist. An amazingly tasty, nutritious blend of almond butter and vegan protein with full chunks of cacao nibs, goji berries, hemp seeds, flax seeds, and coconut flakes mixed in, creating a "chunky" texture. Smooth, yet chunky I like to say.. while boasting the power of super foods lauded by health gurus!
