After eating next door at Loving Hut, I saw many customers coming in and out of Haru cafe so wanted to check it out. They are relatively new and serve coffee and items from mellobun bakery, which is what got my attention. I don't drink coffee, do this is just for the bakery side and the dining area. Inside is aesthetically pleasing and has a lot of cool art. They have decent seating. The coffee flavored are pretty interesting as well. I got a cookie to try and it was not bad. They ran out of other bakery items since I got here after the lunch rush, so other items must be good. Customer service was friendly as well. Quick service and the workers were hard at working making everyone's drink orders.
I've tried a few items from Mellobun Bakery while visiting Ca Phe Haru. I'm not sure why, but when I went the bakery's menu on IG didn't align with the flavors they were carrying in the store. They do have limited option each day, and they're likely out of things if you don't go in the morning. I've tried the following: Matcha Vanilla Cinnamon Roll, Strawberry Milk Cinnamon Roll, and the Hojicha Mocha Muffin. I've never had a sourdough cinnamon bun before. It was an interesting taste; it was a bit dense and the taste of sourdough was very present. I'm not sure I really have a desire to have the rolls again, but they are unique and I don't regret giving them a shot. The Hojicha Muffin was more for me. It was sweet and a good texture. I like that they produce in small portions batches and have some different flavor offerings. I'll continue to look out for something I'm interested in trying while getting something to drink at Ca Phe Haru.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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 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!
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!
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.
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!

Banana bread and hojicha with sea salt foam lattes were delicious. Not too sweet, good quality and very flavorful. Scallion, Korean garlic salt breads were awesome . Loved the fluffy garlic filling, and the scallion was way more flavorful than it looks. Also had the early grey churro croissant which was stellar! I absolutely loved this one. Lastly I tried the apple crispy salt dough which was good as well. read more

Butter croissants are always a good benchmark to test a good bakery and this one is great! What makes it even more unique is that it's a sourdough base...it's buttery with a little more interesting flavor than ordinary croissants. Of all the croissants in the Sacramento area, this one from Mellobun is one of my top contenders for best in the city (favorite is Julian's in Folsom). The salt bread is a new discovery for me and the sourdough base also makes it stand out from traditional Asian salt breads. It has a nice crust and delicate interior that is fluffy and just the right saltiness. The Korean cream cheese was too sweet for my palate but it's always fun to try flavored versions of classic Viennoiserie. I was expecting a more savory cheese bread but this is definitely a sweet + onion flavor. Customer service is very responsive. The baked goods were a little late from scheduled pick-up and the bakery texted me to confirm new time; was missing a croissant in my box and the team quickly refunded for the correct amount of goods. read more

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. read more

I first discovered Mellobun Bakery while walking through Sactown's Finest Market. I grabbed a brioche cinnamon roll and a plain sourdough loaf on a whim, and I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and fluffy they were. So impressed, I quickly placed a pickup order to explore more of their offerings. The matcha shokupan and Earl Gray cinnamon rolls I tried next were absolutely delightful; soft, sweet, and completely different from any sourdough I've had before. If you're a fan of tasty baked treats and a friendly bakery vibe, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Mellobun Bakery a try! read more
