    Ordered a custom "Blackpink" cake for my friend's birthday and Annie came through! Gave her some general ideas of what I wanted and she was able to make that idea possible. Cake was amazing!! Super moist and for a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, not super sweet which is great!! Annie was very communicative and I was able to pick the cake up from her future storefront.

    Hello kitty / K-pop demon hunter, vanilla funfetti flavored cake.

    Annie, did an awesome job pulling off a hello kitty/ K-pop demon hunter mashup cake for my daughter's 5th birthday. She even went the extra mile and coordinated delivery during a time the shop was closed. Would definitely recommend butter-lab for cakes. Ours was vanilla funfetti flavored and everyone loved it, just wish we would have had more leftovers. Thanks Annie!

    Ube Crinkle Cookies

    Annie is the sweetest! I was in a pinch for my baby shower cake and she came through! She understood exactly what I was looking for. The guests loved the taste of the cake too! Not only is she great with cakes but the crinkle cookies are amazing! It is my guilty pleasure. I am pretty picky with cookies and the way she nails it... it's amazing. They are the perfect amount of flavor where it is not overpowering or overly sweet. The softness is perfect too and the cookie doesn't get hard the next day. Definitely make sure to try it if a shop has these or just order from Butter Lab directly! Definitely worth it and you won't regret it.

    Annie with Butter-Lab is such a joy to work with. I ordered a cake from her for my son's 100 day bday celebration and she was able to take my vision and bring it to life! She had great communication the whole process from beginning to end. And her cake was beautiful and not too sweet!

    Annie did the most beautifulllll and elegant cake for my birthday. She listened to what i like, the color tone that i want, discussed the flavors, we sent her some inspo pics and SHE NAILED IT. The cake is exactly how i envisioned it to be. Everybody LOVED the cake. It is DELICIOUS. Annie personally went to get the fresh flowers the morning of, they go so well with the cake. I can't be more happy with how the cake turned out. Annie, thank you!! Annie also makes the most delicious pandan cheesecake. Everybody - It's a MUST TRY. Trust me.

    The top tier had ube halaya filling and it was so good!

    I had less than a week before my event and had to order a cake fast and Annie was so responsive and accomodating! The process was pretty simple and everything went smoothly. She delivered the cake on time and provided the best customer service. I cant thank her enough. Everyone had a slice of heaven eating the beautiful cake she made. I would definitely recommend Butter-lab if you're looking for that special cake for your event!

    Annie was a delight, very accommodating, and was quick in replying. She brought to life a cake my daughter wanted for her birthday. The details, piping, and flavors were amazing, and she also provided delivery which was a lovely bonus! We gave her crinkle cookies (ube and rose-raspberry) as party favors and they were a hit! Thank you for making her birthday so unforgettable!

    50 Numbers Cake

    At first I had no clue that this was the same company that bakes the pandan and ube crinkle cookies from Bone Kettle, but luckily Butter-Lab popped up when I began researching cakes for my father's 50th birthday. I knew I had to work with Annie because her cookies are delicious! Annie really went all out and was able to create a beautiful "50" cake along with a sheet cake. It not only looked beautiful, but it tasted amazing! I went with ube cake with cream cheese frosting. I also purchased cookies (of course) and ube bars. Again, super yummy! Will definitely purchase in the future to try the other desserts and flavors. I highly recommend. Thank you so much for helping make the celebration special!

    Annie was great to work with - she made the perfect "mermaid-y" mini cupcakes for our daughter's birthday party! They looked gorgeous and magical - and most importantly tasted amazing. AND even more importantly, all the kids were delighted by how they looked and so excited to eat them. (Also me and my friends are now obsessed with the Ube crinkle cookies! Sooo special and good!) Definite recommend!

    Fabulously delicious cake!!!

    Annie made my daughter's joint rainbow birthday party increbibly special! She decorated the individual birthday kid's cake with beautiful rainbows that they adored. She also made the most deliecious sheet cake for the whole party. We had leftovers and I thought how will I ever finish this. I literally ate a piece every day until it was gone. I know where I am ordering my own birthday cake this year! I love love the buter cream icing and the texture of her cakes. You will not be disappointed!! And she is super sweet and easy to work with.

    Custom bday cake for my bfs 50th birthday.

    Annie is the best! Have used her many times for cakes and desserts. Banana and ube cakes are my favorite. I ordered from her custom treats and cakes for my bfs 50th bday party, brother in laws bday party and gfs bday! Not just do her desserts tastes aamazing but they are beautifully decorated!

    I had Butter Lab's ube crinkle cookie for the first time from Bone Kettle restaurant in Pasadena. And oh my goodness I was hoookedddd!!! The flavor is so rich but not overpowering. And they taste naturally flavored, not artificial. And the consistency, it's like a mix between a brownie and a chewy cookie! Pro tip: if you toast it, they get warm and the outside becomes crusty too!! They're easily my favorite thing!! Since then, I've tried all the different flavors from either Bone Kettle or Cloverleaf Coffee & Bakery. My favorite is still ube!! Followed by pandan coconut, and thai tea!! Have also tried black sesame and matcha, both of which are also great! Also, try their ube blondie too! If I ever host a big event after pandemic is over, I will definitely trust Butter Lab to provide desserts and little give-away cookie gift bags for my guests!

    My fabulous cake!

    I've been wanting to try this place, and I'm so glad I finally did!…read more I ordered the Egg Heaven and the Iced Honeycomb Latte. The Egg Heaven was honestly one of the best egg sandwiches I've ever had. The flavors were light but still incredibly satisfying. The bread was perfectly toasted, and the egg salad was seasoned so well that every bite was delicious. It was also definitely worth the price, it came with three pieces, which was more than enough to share between two people. The Iced Honeycomb Latte was just as good. It doesn't come sweetened at first, but as the dalgona slowly melts into the coffee, it adds the perfect amount of sweetness. If you prefer your coffee less sweet, you can always ask for less dalgona. On top of the great food and drinks, the staff was incredibly friendly. Since it was my first visit, she gave us great recommendations and helpful feedback on what to order, which made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

The Musubiyaki was okay. The Spam was cut pretty thick, which made it a bit too salty for my taste, and I think my order may have been missing the mayo on top since it felt like it was lacking something to balance the flavors. The service was friendly and the cafe has a nice atmosphere. While these menu items weren't my favorite, I'd still be open to coming back and trying something else.

    Came here for the souffle pancakes and they didn't disappoint!…read more My party of 3 stopped by Saturday afternoon 2:30 pm and it wasn't crowded. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose outdoor since it was such a nice day out. They have all of their desserts on display in the case, so you can peruse the options and see what looks good. So many of the desserts looked good, like the matcha yuzu chiffon crepe cake or the rose and lychee crepe cake. We ordered via the kiosk and got the mango sunshine souffle pancake ($16.50) and well as a couple drinks. My drink was the white peach lemon jasmine bliss ($6.25), with 50% sweetness and less ice. Even though there are signs everywhere saying that it takes 15-20 minutes for the souffle pancakes to be cooked, ours came out super quickly, in 5 minutes or so. We got it with the sauce on the side, but I regret doing that as I saw others getting it with the sauce on top and it was beautiful. The pancake was super fluffy and a bit eggy as well. We all really enjoyed it with the mango sauce. I made the mistake of eating the pancake first before trying a sip of my tea. The pancake was pretty sweet, so I could barely taste my drink, but I think it was good? I could taste a bit of the lemon but definitely not the white peach, which is a lighter flavor. I got a slice of their Hokkaido cheese cake roll for $7 to go and had it the next day. It was okay but definitely a bit pricy for what you get. I'd love to come back to try their other desserts and pancakes!

    This cafe has potential but at the moment it is not quite living up to the hype. The cafe, one of…read morethree in the area, is mostly kitchen & counter with a small bar counter with six stools facing the window & a handful of tables inside. It is not really cute or aesthetic in any way... and the whole place could use a refresh. There is a covered patio with a few tables outside but at the moment it is a bit haphazard and not the nicest because the space next door is doing construction & there is a large dumpster on Green Street. We ordered Black tea & Floral Pineapple Blossom tea drinks, Peach Crepe Cake and a Peach Souffle Pancake ($17.50) via the kiosk. When you order, you receive a text that lets you know your order number, has a receipt, and also an expected time of delivery. The drinks were ready about 15 minutes. They were both fine, and prepared correctly. The peach crepe cake was brought out a few minutes later. My mom enjoyed it and it looked very pretty. Then the time that the entire order was supposed to be ready came and went. I checked in with Nick at the counter and he said that my souffle pancake would be ready in 5 minutes. About 7 minutes later, when my mom was done with her cake. Nick brought it over and set it down in next to me. It was jiggly, huge, and very wobbly. I slid it over so it was in front of me, and the top pancake fell off of the stack, and flipped over so the whipped cream side was on the counter. I tried to flip it back over and put it on top of the stack, but it fell apart. At this point, I was so frustrated with the situation and grossed out by the possibility of eating whipped cream and pancake that had been on the counter, that I asked Nick to remedy the situation. He offered to make a new pancake, but since this one had taken 40 minutes to come out, I was not willing to wait that long again. He kindly offered an alternative suggestion which I accepted. I tried the Creme Brulee crepe cake which was mildly flavored and pretty tasty. (Maybe I should have just gotten it in the first place, but I had really wanted to try the souffle pancake which I've since & sadly lost interest in.) With that, we bid Motto adieu, and it is unlikely that I will return. A few additional notes: Parking in the area is metered and $1.25/hr with a max of 2 hours, the single bathroom is functional, but there is some problem with the ceiling (there is a gaping hole covered by plastic) making for an unpleasant and potentially unsanitary situation. This should be remedied immediately! Peace.

I drove all the way from Long Beach to visit my discount hobby mechanic Bobby; and yes it was worth the one hour drive. One because I had an amazing ice cream and two; I by passed a tune up at Fletcher Jones Toyota of Carson who for some reason didn't honor the previous warranty, because "Fletcher-Jones is now the new owner of the Carson location." In a sense, I am thankful for the grifting, because it lead me here. If you're indecisive Kinrose Creamery does offer samples. I ended up ordering two scoops of Saffron Pistachio Rose, & Orange Flower Pistachio. I definitely savored this unique frozen dessert in this unforgivable heat. Loved my choices and I will be coming back through the summer. The customer service is excellent, the establishment is very clean, & nicely decorated as well. It appears they have local art on the walls, and it's also well air conditioned. Additional information: parking is a bit of a hassle in this area. I ended up paying for a one day parking pass, which is ten bucks and having to walk about two blocks. I did not mind the short stroll but do recommend to look up neighboring businesses to get the best out of the one day pass.

Atmosphere was welcoming and colorful. They sell ice cream sandwiches, carvel soft serve (flavors change regularly), bonini (soft serve in the middle of cinnamon roll), and standalone cinnamon rolls. You may sample any of their soft serve flavors. They even have pre-packaged frozen items, too. I got one bonini for me and two regular cinnamon rolls for my daughters. Cinnamon roll from the bonini was slightly tough unfortunately. I would have preferred the cinnamon roll to not be squished with soft serve. It didn't have enough soft serve for the cinnamon roll size IMHO. I will get both cinnamon roll and soft serve separately next time. Cinnamon roll on its own was great. I later got a soft serve with mint and oreo swirl to-go. It was really good. Can't wait to try their other flavors. Highly recommend! Great place to bring family and friends for a sweet treat or enjoy a solo date with self + cinnamon roll + soft serve.
