Love love love my Vietnamese desserts! From pandan to durian to coconut to cassava to special drinks! Everything is delicious! You can always decide your sweetness of the day! From no sweet to sweet toothed moment. Order ahead on app is highly recommended to just walk in and pick up! From time to time, promotions are available for BOGO! Cool and casual seating, you can eat while staring out the glass windows.

This place is always so busy. And I'm not surprised, because they have the best durian Che ever! Every time I come here, I always try to convince myself to try another flavor... But I never do it lol. The customer service here was really pleasant tonight. Katie was a delight. She said hello and goodbye to every single customer. Friendly smile :)

Pandan Grass Jelly

Came by on a hot day on Saturday looking for a refreshing drink to cool down. This was a great fit to cool down with. Personally thought the drink was way too sweet. The grass jelly was harder than what I'd prefer too. Tasty drink overall though and friendly service!

Stopped by Bake & Che today to take advantage of their promo and ordered the House Special along with the Chè Thái. Both were delicious! The House Special had a great mix of flavors and was fresh and satisfying. The Chè Thái was the perfect way to cool off on a warm day--refreshing, lightly sweet, and packed with a variety of tasty ingredients that made every bite fun. The staff were friendly, and the promo made the visit an even better value. If you're looking for a refreshing Vietnamese dessert or want to try something different, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. Looking forward to coming back to see what else is on the menu!

Possibly matcha drink but I can't remember.

I was flagged by Yelp about posting to the wrong business. So sorry! Gomenasai! This place is great. I need to give it props. We went after a delicious Taiwanese dinner. We had delicious dessert and drinks at Bake & Che. When I order with my in laws who like to eat, we order variety! Multiple drinks, desserts and bags of ice! They're generous with ice that you add to your drinks. I really liked my pandan pudding that actually tastes like natural pandan. I hate fake coconut, banana, grapes and, now, pandan. When you have the natural version, you only want the natural version. They also give you sugar syrup to dress as much as you like. Worth trying. Get there before it gets too busy later at night.

I found this on Yelp because I was craving Filipino halo-halo, but ended up with Bake and Che's house special. I ordered it 50% sweetened (honestly, I should have ordered 100%). It was very good. Their refreshing dessert was served with small ice and not crushed. It had beans, durian and jelly (yum!). It was very filling! The place is very cute! They have tables that can accommodate big groups and service was quick. I also bought packaged roasted macadamia nuts in their shells that were delicious. It's a lot of work to open the nuts so that will be my first and last purchase. I can see this place being busy and just a fun place to hang out with their refreshing dessert.

This place had a huge line! I ended up placing the order online and waited for 10 min which I thought was way faster than waiting in line. I ordered: 1x C3) BM (Three Color) Less Ice Less Sweet I loved that the ice came on the side and I was able to adjust it. I adjusted the sweetness too.

Sampler cakes - palm sugar, cassava, pandan, taro & mung bean

I went to Bake & Che for the first time yesterday and loved it so much that I came back again today. Both visits, I ordered the Avocado Che for myself and the Thai Che for my boyfriend. Yesterday, I wanted to try some of their baked goods, including the palm sugar cake and cassava cake, but they were already sold out. I'd recommend coming earlier if you want the baked goods, as I stopped by around 7 PM on a Saturday and most of them were gone. Today, I came earlier and was able to grab their sampler, which included palm sugar, cassava, mung bean, taro, and pandan cakes. Everything was delicious and not overly sweet. My favorites were the palm sugar and pandan cakes. The Avocado Che was excellent. The avocado was incredibly creamy, and all of the jellies inside were delicious. I thought it would come topped with the green jelly pudding shown on the menu, which I assumed was pandan pudding, but mine didn't include it. I still really enjoyed it. The milk they use is so flavorful, and the drink itself isn't overly sweet. I also tried a few bites of my boyfriend's Thai Che. It was refreshing and tasty as well. One thing I liked is that you can customize the sweetness level and choose whether you want the ice mixed in or served on the side. The only downside is the size. The cups are smaller than what I've seen at other places. I believe they're around 12 ounces. The Thai Che was $7 and the Avocado Che was $8, which is typically what I pay elsewhere for a 16 ounce drink. I'd definitely keep coming back for the Avocado Che and the palm sugar and pandan cakes.

I love the quality of the desserts here. The workers are always so nice and the place is very clean.

Che dac biet (house special)
Lisa T.

Pretty good che (Vietnamese dessert). You can adjust the sweetness. I tried it with no sugar as it's already sweet to begin with and it's not too sweet (perfect). Ice on the side to make it nice and cold when you're ready to enjoy. The house special had durian in it, which I liked and small pieces of jackfruit.

Brought my grandma and I'm happy to say this spot has her approval haha that in itself should mean this review actually has 6 stars cause grandma be picky. We both got the C1 dessert, and I also got an order of the pandan durian layer cake and an order of the taro cake. The pandan durian layer cake wasn't overwhelmingly pungent with durian, it almost felt like they just brushed the cake with some durian if that makes any sense. The taro cake was delicious! I think they may have warmed it up a little and I enjoyed the bits of taro in it. We came in a Saturday afternoon and was able to park in the lot as well as walk right up to the register. I think 5-10 mins later there was a line almost to the door and all the tables were taken up. My grandma has already decided that we're coming back hahah so I guess I'll have an excuse to try something else other than the C1 dessert!

coffee coconut jelly + pandan coconut jelly
Anabelle H.

I come here for one thing only... the pandan coconut jellies. They are sooo good and only about $1.75 each. The sweetness level is not overbearing at all. I love that they each come in their own disposable container so it's perfect to buy a bunch and share! 10/10!!

Service was super quick and easy to order online. If you are ordering online, they package everything to go. Ordered the flandan cheesecake (Pandan) and green thai soy pudding with less sugar. The pandan flandan cheesecake was not too sweet and had a slightly caramel aftertaste to it. It is more of a flan-like cake than cheesecake. As most of their baked goods do not require advance preparation, orders are prepared super quickly. I would not hesitate to ask for the status of your order as it may already be ready.

Does the special house milk contain dairy?

pretty sure it is

Just curious. How many pieces of jackfruit in the Che Thai? I got 1 in my cup yesterday.

I felt like very little of anything.

Will I be able to walk in next Thursday afternoon and order a 30-piece cake box on the spot or do I need to order ahead?

I would order ahead as some items do sell out

Is Rosemad Bake & Che open already? It says can not accept orders online. Please let me know!

There open but their not taking online orders I think.

Soooooo good! Where do I even begin?! I was in the area craving my usual boba fix and I am SO…read morethankful I stumbled upon this place. The Hojicha Pudding in the Iron Buddha Oolong Milk Tea is a solid standard. But the Ube Taro Mochi Green Milk Tea?! HELLOOOO. Hella yum! I got both at 30% sweet and 50% ice, and I'm so glad I did because it balanced the pudding and that rich ube taro mochi paste perfectly. I fear full sweetness might be a little much, but I'm an old Asian who believes desserts should be "not too sweet." Lololol Service was friendly, the shop is cute, and I loved the cute lighting and tea wall. I live about an hour away and I would genuinely consider making the drive back JUST for this tea!

The menus are all over the place it made me confused. Do I need to pay for toppings or no? One menu…read moredoesn't list the price for majority of the topping while another said its not free The drinks were alright. I would say average because I feel like putting some tea with milk is very easy to cost like $7+ per drink. They're big portion though. The teas are strong but not as fragrant as I would like them to be. The shop doesn't smell like tea though. I think it's a good place to try. I might come back for other teas but I'm not sure how to order anything from here. I ordered the hojicha latte but it doesn't look like the photo

this was by far the best coffee/food experience i've had in LA and i would recommend this to anyone…read morewho loves coffee or is curious about coffee. Came here with three other friends on a saturday afternoon. Josh created the most immaculate vibes in his lovely home and put together such a thoughtful, delicious food/coffee pairing with his partner, Mei. He was also incredibly knowledgeable about coffee and we learned so much from him from brewing methods to his favorite cafes in LA. The service was next level! Additionally, every course was memorable and some highlights include the cold brew, the biscuits (perfectly buttery), the plum juice inspired palette cleanser, and the espresso take on boba milk tea. I would totally come back to try their new season. There isn't any comparable experience in the world.

Coffee omakase for a society obsessed with $8 lattes and cold brew, hear me out…read more Ahma opens as an invitation to experience the utilitarian drink as something slower and more intentional, challenging the palate while expanding your understanding of how coffee without the blanket of cream or milk could actually taste. Josh and Mei create the coziest intimate space in their San Gabriel home. Like stepping into your best friend's place who happens to work in fine dining and be a coffee expert. There are different Seasons to Ahma and for this particular one, Taiwan is the Muse and coffee is its medium. My limited discernment between good coffee and bad coffee is acidity--sour and bitter, bleh. Or watered down. I don't douse my coffee with milk (anymore) because of lactose intolerance. But here, Coffee can be strong and bold, or brewed to possess properties that taste more like tea. And decaf (!) could have notes of whiskey without any of its alcohol. Particular care has been given to serve your cold brew in a frozen glass, or hot pour over in a warm pink cup. Josh has all the latest gadgets if you are into the coffee scene. But even if you're not, observing him brew you an espresso is an act of joy, not the beleaguered coffee pot in the workplace break room, but sharing in something worth its time and precision and experience. But because this is coffee, there is also something interesting to pair with it. A blooming osmanthus jelly, translucent and floral and fragrant. A delightfully nutty and buttery biscuit, its recipe took five years to perfect, with pineapple wintermelon jelly and delicate egg yolk shavings. A fried popcorn chicken cutlet with Thai basil pesto sandwich with just the right amount of crunch. The total amount of caffeine came in just about 2 cups of coffee, and I left pretty satisfied, but this being San Gabriel, grabbed some dim sum to go afterwards. The experience was 2.5 hours, and there were a total of 4 guests served at a time. The menu changes periodically and they will return in October if you want to try the next Season.

I got the lychee tonic and it was exactly what I wanted on a hot summer day: super refreshing, easy…read moreto drink, and not bitter in the slightest. The only thing I would note is that the lychee flavor is not really there - I'd consider this a regular espresso tonic instead of a lychee-forward one. This didn't really bother me though, because I downed the whole drink My husband got the hojicha latte, which was smooth with a nice roasted flavor that didn't get lost under the milk. I also appreciated that they asked whether he wanted sugar at all rather than assuming a default sweetness level. It was actually his first time having a hojicha latte unsweetened, and he really enjoyed it. The space itself is pretty bare-bones, so I wouldn't necessarily come here for the super aesthetic cafe experience. But it's comfortable and functional - there's a row of bench seating with tables and chairs opposite it. The seats are actually padded, which makes it a nice spot to sit for a chat, or to get some work done. Street parking was plentiful when we went, and I believe there's also a small attached lot. There was also a baker set up on-site when we stopped by. They were selling things like salt bread and sandwiches, so of course we grabbed something to support them. I thought that was such a cute touch and would love to see more local cafes doing little collaborations like this.

PARKING in the back (free); two-ish street parking spots…read more We tried their cloudy and jasmine latte. The cloudy was a very interesting combination of pear and date, I believe, with overtones of coffee and undertones of tangy/sour-ness from the date. It was really... interesting, and not something I've seen elsewhere. Would recommend trying it, if you like chasing signatures and getting a variety of tastes, but it wasn't for me. On the other hand, we liked their jasmine latte a lot. Not only did it have that jasmine tea flavor, it was also a great latte in itself which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Right next door, find Uncle Fung Coffee Stall, his daughter's tribute to her Indonesian roots. Here, relax in the retro-modern space and enjoy coffee and tea with an Indonesian flair. The vibe feels timeless. The paint-speckled brick walls and polished tiled floors starkly contrast the heirloom porcelain and framed Indonesian memorabilia. Small square tables and metal chairs are crammed into the narrow space. Close to opening, seats are plentiful, and serene pop blends with the espresso machine; later in the morning, the air is filled with chatter, and the queue stretches to the door. Of the drinks, our go-to has been The Putu, a pandan-forward latte that isn't too sweet. But don't sleep on the Indonesian pastries. I particularly enjoyed the Dadar Gulung, a vibrant green pandan crepe filled with sweet coconut. The scarlet, tortoise-shaped Angku Kueh is stuffed with an addictive mung bean filling. The Talan Ubi sweet potato-and-coconut treats tasted like fall. The Kueh Lupis, a sticky rice triangle with a side of palm sugar syrup, sports a spot-on Q texture, but is one-dimensional in flavor. Service is friendly and efficient. Pastries cost about ~$3-5, while specialty beverages run in the $7-8 range. The location is stellar (just steps away from the Alhambra Farmers Market), and the coffeehouse fare is uniquely crave-worthy. In all, Uncle Fung is a key member of Alhambra's specialty coffee scene, and it cracks my regular rotation.

The coffee shop is very spacious with lots of seating and there's something interesting to look at every corner. There was a short line when we arrived but it moved pretty quickly. The servers were very friendly, warm and efficient at their job. You see a fun selection of Indonesian / Malaysian desserts as you get to the counter, and their drink options are unique and plentiful. We tried two of their artisanal kopi, Kopi Susu and The Putu and tried the Putu Ayu dessert. The drinks were absolutely incredible! The flavour combination and sweetness level of The Putu was perfect. I love that the bold delicious espresso came through, it wasn't overpowered by the sugar, pandan flavour or coconut cream. The drink wasn't too heavy or creamy, it was just so well balanced it left me wanting more! The Putu Ayu however was just alright. The cake flavours were fine, but it was just a bit dry for my taste. Highly recommend coming by to check this place out! Knowing how good their coffee is, I really want to come back for a pour over. Thanks for a great time!
