What are you buying at a coffee shop that has salt and butter in it? If you're speaking of food, most mainline coffee shops offer things like oatmeal and fresh fruit these days.
Hello. My name is Igor Blevin and I am a Salt-a-holic.
Salty snacks are my downfall. I would NEVER go to a restaraunt and ever ask for less salt or butter.
In Sacramento, we had a wonderful BBQ joint named JR's Texas BBQ. Their all meat Texas chili was very salty. I was the only one in my family who didn't think so.
I may die early, but my corpse will be very well preserved.
Meanwhile, the scientists are flipping their minds again to say that salt is not nearly as unhealthy for you as has been declared for the past 30 years, and that low sodium intake does not increase health in most people.
We just went through this with egg yokes. People were terrified of eating anything but egg whites, and then POOF, overnight egg yokes were fine as long as you don't eat 4 a day.

Agree. Shop around and ask to see a menu before deciding whether or not to order a meal OP. You can always thank them and walk out without eating a thing. No one is holding you hostage. Patronize one that offers "heart healthy" options. Depending on where you live OP and how you define "coffeeshop" there must be several to choose from.
I try to eat heart healthy, and everytime I go to a Coffee shop I feel like I have had way too much salt and butter.
Most of the food offerings at the coffeeshops here are pre-made, even at the locally-owned establishments. The only stuff that's made to order is if they happen to have sandwiches, and that's really just an assembly deal (i.e. slice a croissant, add some deli meat, cheese, condiments, etc). There's no place that they can leave off salt or butter.
I have never believed for a second that butter and salt are bad for anyone, and the "heart-healthy fat/salt-free" diet has been pretty much debunked. Excess sugar is bad for people, yes. For instance, pancakes with syrup and toast with jam are less healthy than pancakes and toast with butter but no syrup/jam. But if people heard in their youth that butter, eggs, salt, are the devil, it can be very hard for them to believe this.

There was no relationship found between eating butter and being diagnosed with heart disease, the researchers said.
The findings suggested butter may be a "middle-of-the-road" food, said study co-author Laura Pimpin, also of Tufts University. For example, butter may be healthier for you than foods high in sugar or starch, which have been linked with an increased risk of heart disease and diabetes, Pimpin said.
