    Been following Mellobun on IG and was finally excited to try their baked goods that was in store at Ca Phe Haru. Since I was in the area, I figured it was finally the time to make a stop to try their salt bread that I've been seeing all over their IG. From what I know from IG, Mellobun typically has their baked goods available in Ca Phe Haru for purchase on the weekends only at this time. Walking in, I immediately saw the glass case with the breads. My goal was to try their salt bread and Korean garlic cheese milk bread bun. Sadly, they only had the salt bread available the day that I went, which means I definitely have a reason to come back again for their Korean garlic cheese milk bread bun. The salt bread had a hard, crunch layer on the outside and was soft in the inside. You can definitely taste the salt of the bread which I enjoyed. I can't wait to come back to try more of their baked goods!

    I went to Ca Phe Haru to try Mellobun. Even though I like matcha, I wasn't tempted enough to pay $9 for a cinnamon roll or $10 for a slice of cake. I just went with the banana matcha cookie. The cookie was good, but needs more matcha. The banana and chocolate flavors were more dominant. I think I can move on now that I tried something from here.

    Not a cinnamon bun. There is barely any flavor of cinnamon in this sweet potato cinnamon bun. At most it is a roll of bread with cream cheese topping. Such a disappointment and not worth the money.

    Cottage bakery business based in Elk Grove that attends local events from time to time. I caught the business at The Creative Space Market: Aloha Saturday in Elk Grove and, yeah, the sourdough brioche cinnamon rolls are quite special. Very tender with a nice subtle tang. I specifically got the ube black sesame roll one and the brown butter ube frosting on top is delicious. A little disappointed on the ube halaya milk loaf though. Tastes mainly of ube extract and not much of the halaya. Not the softest milk bread that I've had either. The garlic miso butter milk bread tastes just like a Korean garlic sweet bagel but without the cream cheese lol a satisfying little savory treat. Matcha lovers (like me) would really enjoy the matcha strawberry milk mochi cookie because it has a fantastic bold earthy matcha flavor to it. Not much mochi presence though. The baker was really sweet when I met her at the Elk Grove event. Check the Instagram account @mellobunbakery for up-to-date upcoming pop-up showings. She sells out pretty quickly at events for walk-up customers; check the business website to have a chance to do pre-ordering!

    Was excited to try this place-however it was a bit of a disappointment. The buns were pretty heavy and doughy with pretty mild flavor-size was definitely on the smaller side, hard to justify the price . The matcha cookie was just ok as well.

    Everything Salt Bread Plain - $7.80

    Review is just for their salt breads. Had purchased a plain salt bread and an everything salt bread plain. They are very pricey for six-inch sized bread rolls. The plain salt bread was $7.20 and the everything salt bread was $7.80. The bread rolls are a bit dense and the inside texture was a bit mushy. Personally, not my choice for tasty bread rolls pastries and the high prices don't make these a good value.

    I got to try Mellobun at the new Ca Phe Haru shop. I know I've tried Mellobun before at various pop up events, but finally putting in a review for them. I love the Asian inspired flavors and the fusion themes. The cookie itself is very soft and flavorful, it's perfect. You can tell by the quality that they put in a lot of effort and thought with their baking. I'm excited to get to try more items!

    Strawberry miso Carmel cinnamon roll
    Lily M.

    Everything I got to try was absolutely stunning both visually and taste! Out of the cinnamon rolls the strawberry miso carmel was my favorite ( but the matcha went crazy too). I love the use of the unique flavor pairing and the perfect texture of the pastries. The coffee toffee cookie was my favorite of the two but only by a slim margin. The one savory item I got to was buttery and great flavor. Slightly warmed it was * chefs kiss*. The baker/owner was super sweet and I loved the setup at the popup! Giving rustic bakery and with the pop of the pink of the boxes it was perfect to stand out in comparison to other bakery pop ups I've seen. Overall 11/10 and can't wait to try more items... the Ube cinnamon roll and pandan butter cake are calling out to me hehe.

    I love Mellonbun Bakery!! My favorite are the miso and matcha cookies :) i always walk in and out with a smile!

    I went to ca fe haru to get these! It was such a cute cafe and everyone there was so nice! The cinnamon rolls were pretty good! I do wish that they were taller and fluffier for the price. Nonetheless they were delicious and unique flavors! They were also not too sweet which I really liked!

    Dual review for bakery and Haru Cafe add Mellobun has no store front. The matcha was good, the coffee was ok. No flavor issues with the Cinnabon or salt bread. But $12.50 for a room temp Cinnabon and $11.50 room temp salt bread isn't really justifiable on the flavor to satisfaction rating.

    Large avocado matcha latte 70% sweet (recommended), light matcha, with boba. It was very tasty…read moreafter mixing the drink together, the blend of avo and matcha went well together. The matcha was present but not too bitter, and the avocado made it creamy. I tried this with medium matcha 3/24/26 and forgot to mix it prior to drinking (my fault; it'd be nice if they did it beforehand)-- I got all of the matcha at the top with no avocado which was bitter, but bearable with the boba balls. (I was driving so I didn't have a chance to properly mix it after I put the straw in the store.) The avocado portion with only boba was very good. If you like the taste of strong matcha then you'll like YiFang; I prefer the avocado drink with light matcha.

This was my first time trying YiFang Taiwan and I was craving a refreshing mango pomelo sago drink after eating a savory meal but the mango pomelo sago was unfortunately sold out so I went with the mango sago and added jelly instead. They made my order wrong, but remade it for me and let me keep the first drink so I appreciated that very much. Their customer service is good and they were quick to resolve the issue. However, I did not really enjoy my drink. When they gave me the first drink with only jelly and no sago, my first impression was surprise at the large quantity of jelly topping in the drink. The toppings made up like 35-40% of the drink. I had the thought to ask them to use less toppings when remaking the drink but I assumed that if they were going to remake it and add two toppings, that it would be the same amount but divided into two. I regretted not asking though because in the corrected drink, they gave me so much topping that it made up half of the drink. They also did not drain the sago and it was not mixed in with the mango drink so it was very off putting and tasted strange compared to the first drink. Even when I tried mixing it all together, there was hardly any drink and all that was coming through the straw were the toppings. I gave up on the drink and ended up just drinking the first drink they made me. I think the topping portions is kind of crazy and I have never really experienced that before. I would much rather have more drink than toppings. I wish I knew about this beforehand or I wouldn't have added an extra topping. I would be open to trying this place again but only ordering their original drinks as is and/or requesting less toppings. I don't want to make quick judgements from this one drink because I have heard good things about YiFang drinks and they had great customer service. I am hopping that my next experience will be better!

I ordered #2 without boba, with shaved ice on the side, as well as #4 for my husband. #2 comes with red beans and white beans that are cooked until they are soft, a large scoop of tảo paste, rainbow jelly, and mung bean. It tastes best with lots of ice! I had a couple of bites of the #4, which comes with grass jelly, pandan jelly, the red jelly/seeds, and mung bean. The egg coffee has an egg foam layer that is quite thick and doesn't have a fake egg taste unlike some other places. The coffee is also really strong. Despite all the ice melting, it was still strong the next day, such that I will have this for at least a second day! There are so many dessert options, and I remember the pandan waffle being pretty good. Service was very friendly. They have plenty of indoor seating, and I was so happy to see they are getting a lot of business. It's very clean. Overall, I highly recommend Bambu!
