So glad to see a Filipino fusion bakery in Montebello! Annie and Austin were so nice and welcoming, and their baked goods were no joke. They are big on their flavors! Each cookie tastes exactly as you'd expect. My favorite was the thai tea one, which isn't in their menu rotation, but consider this my formal peitition to make it one. I also really enjoyed the ube brownie and basque cheesecake. Tip: when you get home, warm up the ube brownie before you eat it! I love that more trendy small businesses are popping up in the area, especially one as good as this. I can't wait to come back and try more items! read more

Drove by here the other day, but they were closed on a Tuesday. I stopped by on Monday because I wanted to try their tiramisu, but the owner Annie said it sold out the day before. She said next time I can call ahead and she can try to save me one which was very kind of her! I did get a whipped cheesecake. It was the last one and it was amazing! I wish I could have a whole pie dish of this stuff. The crust was nice to have with this not too sweet, caramel, whipped cheesecake 100/10 I would get this again or any other variation flavor of it. Maybe I can order it for my bday?! I also tried the Ube Blondie because she says she cooks the Ube herself. I really enjoyed it. It was moist and dense, and the Ube flavor was light. It was not too sweet either. She also sells a bag of brownie edges, but I did not get that. There was also a flan, Basque cheesecake, cookies, banana pudding, but I didn't get all of them... To my regret. The crinkle cookies have a lot of different flavors, like sesame, Pandan coconut, Matcha, corn - saffron, black chocolate, ube, strawberry and she has a little menu of flavors she has that changes daily. They also sell coffee/drinks to go with your baked goods! You can special order custom cakes too. Happy to support a small woman owned business with fun flavors and that tasted amazing! I will be back. read more

By far my FAVORITE BAKERY and I'm a snob when it comes to these things. The desserts are sooo delicious! I love the Ube and other Asian-inspired fusions. The cheesecakes are some of my favorite picks, and the buttercream on the cakes have the perfect flavor- not too sweet and just melts right in my mouth. When I came in, I was immediately greeted with the kind of warm welcome that made me feel like family. The staff is professional and fun, and I really love the ambiance of the bakery along with all the little decorative details. I love how there are so many live plants that contribute to the freshness of the atmosphere. Annie, the owner, also does beautiful, custom cakes and delivers! You can see all her beautiful custom masterpieces on social media - @butter_lab_la. I'm glad to finally have a go-to bakery that I can count on if I need a last-minute cake or dessert. Already excited for the next visit! read more

My GF and I went in to enjoy some sweets at Butter Lab for the first time and we're blown away by the Basque and Ube brownie. The owner was also super kind as well when helping us! read more

The guy serving me was so nice and sweet! I love good humored, sincere customer service. I tried the chocolate chip cookie, ube crinkle, ube brownie, and bread pudding. My favorite thing about all the items was they were not too sweet! I'm not a big dessert person, for the most part, because I don't like the amount of sugar in most desserts. With these, I could take bite after bite and not feel like it was too much sugar. Everything was moist with good texture. read more

So glad we stopped in today,for sure coming back.The cookies were so delicious! Very soft and not overly sweet.

I tried her cookies and they were incredibly moist and really, really good. You can tell a lot of thought goes into each flavor. The owner is super nice and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I love that her cookies are inspired by different cultures--she does an amazing job pulling those unique flavors together and translating them perfectly into a cookie. Everything tastes balanced, creative, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend! read more

New spot in Montebello! Flavors are more fusion inspired. The star of the show for me was definitely the Basque Cheesecake! Light, fluffy and flavorful! They also do custom cakes so might try them out for that at some point! Stay Cheerful read more

This review is solely based on their custom cake that I ordered. I submitted an inquiry online and filled in all the necessary information. I heard back within 1 day, which I really appreciated! I placed my order about 2 weeks in advance for a 6in cake and was quoted $85. I noticed the store is closed on Tuesdays & Wednesdays, which was when I was supposed to pick up my cake so I asked about that. She told me not to worry and that my cake would be ready and she'll deliver it to me because of the store being closed. On the day of the cake delivery, I appreciated how she kept me updated on her ETA. Eventually, I got my cake and I was really disappointed. :( I asked for the cake to contain an anime character and the words "Happy Birthday" written across the top, but other than that, she had free reign on how to design the cake. The picture printed on top of the cake was of poor quality; I could see the printer lines, which ruined the otherwise elegant appearance of the cake. I also wasn't happy with the written words on top; it was very bulky and seemed cramped. The cake itself (Ube flavored) was delicious - honestly, probably one of my favorite cakes I've had. It was perfectly moist and the ube flavor was very pronounced, but for $85, I expected more out of the design. I reached out to her and expressed my disappointment/feedback and she was very receptive and kind about it (which is why I'm giving a 4 star rating). She offered a refund on the design portion of the cake, which I thought was fair. I think she handled the situation perfectly and I'm glad to know they have such delicious treats being offered! read more

Butter Lab has such great desserts and helped me celebrate my friend's birthday with a beautiful cake that was also very delicious!

I found this place through my daughter, and I called them to order tarts for Christmas Eve. I cannot be happier with them. The owner, Annie, is a sweetheart. I ordered a Tiramisu Tart, which was delicious. I also had a pumpkin pie, which I love. The apple tart was very fresh, made with real, fresh apples that were incredibly good. If you want to get a fresh bakery product, the Butter Lap is the place. Thank you, Annie, for including my order in such a busy time!! read more

Butter lab is amazing and the owner is super sweet. You can tell this is a small operation with a lot of love that goes into everything they do. Cookies are great, especially the ube. The basque cheesecake and banana pudding are also super good and decadent and balanced. They have lots of classics as well as fun asian flavors which I appreciate. Also got a birthday cake from them at one point and it was fantastic. read more

I have very picky eaters in my family when it comes to desserts, and I will say this basque cheesecake is one they all rave about even till this day!! This is my second time buying a whole basque cheesecake, definitely see more cheesecakes in the foreseeable future!! Also, owner was very kind to accept my last minute order. Highly recommend trying or you know, just buy the whole cheesecake, it's soo freaking good I'm STILL thinking about it. read more

I really enjoyed the crinkle powdered cookies, very soft yet with a bit of chewiness. My favorite was the pandan&coconut and the ube. My first time trying a basque cheesecake, I'm not sure what the difference is compared to a regular cheesecake, but it just tastes like a regular cheesecake with it looking burnt outside. A decent cheesecake though. I'd skip the chocolate chip cookie, I'd had better, there just wasn't enough chocolate chip. The ube brownie was pretty soft & dense, though I prefer my brownies with some chewiness to it. read more

They did a great job on my mean girls burn book brownies !!! It was huge hit everyone loved it. Absolutely delicious and kept its form the whole 2 hour drive ! Annie was amazing, patient, and kind. They did an even better job than the inspo pic and the portions were amazing . Such an adorable bakery too. Definitely made the mean girls friendsmas memorable! read more

Butter Lab - The brownies - Bakeries Near Me - Montebello, California

This place is on my commute so decided to pop in. Really wanted to like it, but the variety box I picked up was-just, ok. There confetti muffin was totally inedible. It was so dry and hard my child almost choked on it...concerning to say the least. Had better experience with a chain restaurants baked goods from across the street at Pollies Pies. From all the other reviews I was really hoping and expecting better. read more

Great and fresh food. Not enough selections to choose from. I love the fresh items that they make daily

Read that this place had their grand opening recently, and since I live so close, I figured I'd drop by and grab a treat for myself. The displays were partially filled on both sides, I'm sure more will come in once things start selling. A green item with coconut shreds on it caught my eye. The girl came out from the back and greeted us. I asked if the green was pandan, and she said yes. I've had pandan before, so I was familiar with the taste. My pokemon shirt caught her eye, and she told me she thought it was very cute. I thanked her and bought the pastry. I noticed a frother by the register and mentioned I recently bought one, but I'm not sure how it actually works. She gave me some pointers that were very helpful! Was eyeballing the brownies, too. Will most likely try that next visit! read more

Everything here is perfection. The crinkle cookies are all delicious. The flavors are not overpowering and not too sweet. My family loves the UBE and Black Sesame ones. My two year old devours them. I love the ube brownies and the basque cheesecake is just *chefs kiss*! I wish I lived closer cause I would be going every week. Annie is such a sweetheart and always so friendly! read more

I was in the area and craving something sweet so I quickly looked this place up and saw some items I wanted to try! Being a fellow baker myself, I wanted to support a small business and try their goodies (: I was looking forward to the brownie edges but they were out that day ): we had the Oreo cheesecake and it was really good! I believe it was the owner that helped us out, she was friendly and happy to help us. We will definitely be back to try more goodies!! Also wanted to point out the attention to detail!! Their decor is so cute, I loved the "frosting" details around the store! read more

Nice folks working here. Decent quality. Great cheesecake. Better value than Cheesecake Factory. Cookies didn't look as good or as large as portrayed in the pictures in Yelp. That was my initial impression. Nonetheless, I would still recommend this little place. read more

They have the best 3 leches cake ever. And their Basqued cheesecake is a 10/10. This place is truly a hidden gem. The customer service was also superb. I will be ordering all my cakes from Butter Lab read more

Been passing by this place and decided to get a sweet treat. I just have to say WOW.....the Ube crinkle cookies were incredible. The coconut pudding was delicious. The service was superb. I am definitely returning to try the different flavors available. read more

I love me some Butter Lab treats! The goodies are creative and delicious . Service is warm and friendly. Among my favorites are the Lady Black iced drink, citrus vanilla basque cheesecake, Thai tea cookie and chocolate mousse. I like to hang out there and chit chat with the staff. read more

This bakery is such a vibe! The cozy decor, side tables, and stools make it the perfect spot to sit and enjoy a sweet treat with a drink. I've tried almost all the cookie flavors, and my top picks are the classic chocolate chip, injeolmi crinkle, and strawberry crinkle--so good! The banana pudding is another favorite--I devoured one so fast I had to go back to buy more within minutes. The owner is the sweetest and totally nailed it when I told her what I needed for a client event. The cookies, tiramisus, banana cream pies, basque cheesecakes, and brownies were all a hit--first to disappear, and everyone was asking where they were from. I meant to take pictures, but we ate everything so fast that I completely forgot. That's how good it was! Highly recommend! read more

Happened to be in the neighborhood looking for a dessert to bring to dinner that night. Owner was welcoming and friendly. Answered some questions on the crinkle cookies and even offered to bake some on the spot (I had wanted the Thai Tea flavor which was still being made). They also have ice cream pints which I would've tried if I had brought a cooler bag to keep it from melting. Place is cozy and cutely decorated. Ended up with a box of black sesame, ube, matcha and Thai tea crinkle cookies. Glad I waited for the Thai tea to be made - my favorite out of all the flavors. Friendly, independent bakery. Would definitely come back when in neighborhood. read more

I highly recommend Butter Lab! Everything is absolutely delicious, the space is clean and inviting, and the owner is incredibly sweet and kind. read more

I love everything ube at Butterlab! The ube cheesecake, cookies, and BROWNIES. The tree leches were so good too. They have different flavored cookies- black sesame, thai tea, strawberry, lemon, matcha, etc. goes well with a cup of coffee or tea. Huge parking lot with plenty of spots read more

Earlier this year Butter Lab helped us with cupcakes for our son's birthday and we loved them! So when it was time to order a birthday cake for my wife's birthday we knew we would be going back to Butter Lab! Annie, the owner, was responsive, communicative and very easy to work with. The website even has a function where you can upload pictures of cake designs and features that you would like Butter Lab to incorporate into your own cake - pretty cool! The ube birthday cake was beautiful with plant decorations and it had just the right amount of sweetness. The cake was an absolute hit at the party! Upon trying the ube cake many of our friends asked where we got the cake and of course we told them, Butter Lab! We will be back to try the other cake flavors and their drinks as well. read more

I was driving down beverly and saw this place while I was sitting at the stoplight. Glad I went in 10/10 cookies! The owner was super nice as well! Didn't take a pic of the cookies because my mom and I immediately inhaled them read more

My first visit and impression of Butter Lab is that it's a terrific coffee shop and bakery. The service was friendly, professional, and my hostess was knowledgeable on the products that they sell. I ordered iced cafe de olla and three cookies. Delicious. A small ding for the lack of a decaf coffee option. I recommend giving it a try. read more

Amazing owner who makes amazing desserts! My son and I love the ube and pandan cookies, and her ube brownie! I've bought a bunch for my son's soccer team and their family, twice, and they keep asking for more! Annie is kind. She's sweet to her customers! We love her! The bakery is clean with a cute vibe! read more
