Absolutely obsessed with the POG cake at Mille Fête. The flavor was so thoughtfully layered...every bite felt like a tapestry of textures and tastes coming together perfectly. Light, rich, tangy, slightly sweet, and incredibly balanced all at once. I also had the potato salad bun and it was super yummy. It had a little kick to it (baby spice status) the bun reminded me of Thanksgiving in the best way -- cozy, savory, and nostalgic while still feeling unique. The employees were incredibly kind and patient while helping me decide between the coconut and POG cake, which made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. This is the perfect place to meet a friend for a high-end experience without breaking the bank. I came on a Saturday around 3:45 p.m. and it felt relaxed but still lively. It's a great little afternoon treat spot in Honolulu. You can really feel the care they put into both the desserts and the overall experience. Definitely a standout stop while visiting Waikīkī. read more

Everything was amazingly good! Located at the old little village location this bakery is clean, bright, with so many baked yummy goods. At the door you are drawn in by the abundance of bunt cakes, chocolate dipped cookies, bread and assorted pastries. They also have different cafe type drinks and homemade ice cream. We ordered so many things and sat to enjoy our coffee and cookie ice cream. Ice cream was creamy and melded so well with the two chocolate chip cookies. The ice coffee was a great way to balance the flavors. The owner manager..so nice and helpful! Worth it to take a trip to Chinatown to experience this cafe! read more

I loved everything at Mille Fête! As soon as I came in I was greeted warmly and was helped incredibly, making sure was informed of anything I was interested in. I felt so cared for! My favorite was the Japanese potato salad bun. The filling was generous and the hint of spice was perfect! The Kimchi Reuben hand pie was also filled graciously. A bit salty but I enjoyed the flaky pastry texture! There's a good amount of seatings both inside and outside! read more

What a charming and fun bakery! We had dinner down the block and knew we had to stop in here for dessert. When we arrived we were warmly greeted and honestly the staff here is a highlight! The team behind the counter was fun and engaging. We decided to try the Pistachio and Pineapple cake as well as the Lemon Whoopee Pie and both were well prepared and tasty with just the right amount of sweetness that really allowed the flavors to shine. I really felt the prices were quite fair when taking the quality into account. I hope to make it back for some coffee on this trip and try a few more treats! read more

Now that I work in Chinatown, it kind of gives me the opportunity to check out all the businesses around. I stumbled upon Mille Fete before my shift and wanted to grab coffee for a long shift. Mille Fete has a pastry counter full of creative pastires such as cakes, ice cream, pastry pockets, cookies, and so much more. Since I had around 15 minutes to kill, I tried their cake sale, which was a bite sized savory cake. They offered to heat it up and it was delicious. I also ordered their vietnamese coffee and i am obsessed! It isn't as chocolately as some, which this one I prefer. I've been wanting to try their pog cake for some time, but am waiting for the perfect opportunity to. I will definitely be back sooner for the coffee before work! follow my foodie adventures on ig: smolgirlfatass read more

I probably come here way too often, but what can I say? When the baked goods are this delicious, how can you not?? They've got sweet and savory pastries, some spectacular cakes (my fav is the POG), and sourdough bread (that comes in a loaf!!), as well as some drinks/coffee. The menu usually features seasonal items but there are also OGs that are always there whenever I go--so much to choose from, it's always fun to trying something new! A skip and hop away from their their sister restaurant, Fetè, Mille Fete is another lovely addition to Chinatown. My go-to lil treats are their peanut butter whistles when I'm feeling sweet, and their chicken hand pies when I want something savory. I can never leave without getting a loaf of their sourdough bread either. The space itself is bright, clean, and minimal with a few seating areas. Service is always pretty quick, the staff is always so friendly!! There's a few street parking stalls out front but there's also multiple municipal lots around that area to choose from. A must visit when in Chinatown!! read more

I tried everything I wanted and the two things I loved most were the bubu cookies and the cake salé. The bubu arare cookies are so light and buttery and crispy. I could eat the whole bag yikes! They remind me of these granny cookies that we used to order from St Joseph school in Waipahu a lifetime ago. And omg, the cake salé surprised me. Who would think an unassuming, petite thing could pack such a savory punch and blow me away. I absolutely loved this. There was a nice spice to it and the texture was perfection. Moist and just wonderful. It would pair well with any soup or stew. I just ate it for breakfast yum! I want to try and copy this, otherwise I'd totally get this catered. And yes, honorable mention- the POG slice was really good as well. I enjoyed the tartness and the "not too sweet" Asian rule lol. Also, when you hit a mandarin segment you feel like you hit the jackpot haha. But at $16 a slice that's pretty steep. It's probably laborious to make;) It's a treat for sure, just like Mille Fete however you pronounce it. read more

Walking around Chinatown and Mille Fete caught our attention. Quite a few options - both savory and sweet - to choose from. After hearing descriptions and asking for recommendations, we went with the following: 1) Classic bell - upgraded version of a ding dong. Moist cake, dark chocolate, and not too sweet cream. Good choice. 2) Chocolate peanut butter whistle - better choice! Love the texture of the crunchy bits and the peanut butter. 3) Chocolate Lillikoi cookie - the cookie portion is more cake-like - reminiscent of the top of a cupcake. The combination of the chocolate with the tartness of the lillikoi was good. The sweets were not too sweet. The ice cream must be popular as we saw many ordering that - big scoops, too. Will have to return to try that next time. Friendly staff as well. read more

Architecture, design, the entire lot so grateful they created this elevated bakery in Chinatown that I could bring for extra special treats for those extraordinary celebrations. Going in the afternoon was such a breeze. I can only imagine how packed this place gets and the heavy foot traffic it receives during the mornings and weekends. Shoutout to Amira and the entire crew. Can't wait to come back again :) read more

The cold brew here has ruined me! Please don't ever change the recipe it's some of the best coffee I've ever had. It's balanced, delightfully bitter and tastes like chocolate. I work just down the street from this place and it is going to be so difficult to not get some of this coffee every day Lady at the register was kind and talked to me about the beans and their blend they use. It's a cute spot with lots of pastry options but thankfully I had the self control that day not to splurge. I'll definitely be back. read more

Ever since late February, when Mille Fête Bakery opened in Chinatown, I've longed to experience the sumptuous baked goods by chef Robynne Maui, the chef/owner of Fête, a modern American restaurant, and winner of the 2022 James Beard Award for Best Chef of the Northwest & Pacific, and collaborator, New York City's gourmet pastissier partner, Katherine Yang. However, I finally made it to Chinatown this past week with my visiting relatives to try this new bakery. Upon entry into the extensively renovated former space of the 20+ year old restaurant, Little Village Noodle, we were struck by the sparkling glass pastry display cases, bright white walls featuring their beverages/frozen treats menu and baked goods (cakes, cookies, breads, and sandwiches) menu, banquet seating with small tables, a dine-in countertop with stools facing the large picture windows overlooking Smith Street. Behind the counter, a cheerful female worker greeted us and pointed out the refrigerated display case, with rotating ice cream or sorbet pints starting on the far right. We followed her along the display case as she pointed out their savory pastries, such as the Ludovico Chicken Hand Pies and Kimchi Reuben Hand Pies, leading to sweet treats such as the Pistachio Pineapple Coffee Cake, Pear Cranberry Calamansi Loaf, and Black & Liliko'i Cookies. After we decided on several pastries to go, we stayed and sat at the counter, where my brothers-in-law rehydrated with iced beverages while enjoying the cool, air-conditioned space. We ran into Chuck Bussler, chef Robynne Maii's husband, whom we met years ago while dining at their nearby Chinatown restaurant, Fête. Mr. Bussler was enthusiastic and beaming with pride as we congratulated him on his wife's James Beard Award win, opening this bakery, and maintaining their highly rated modern American restaurant, Fête. We decided to get the Ludovico Chicken Hand Pie, which is a tasty chicken pot pie filled with tender pasture-raised chicken in a creamy white sauce, complete with peas and carrots. It was a good thing that we cut them open before taking a bite, as my husband, who doesn't care for the taste of peas, managed to pick them out. $7. The other Kimchi Reuben Hand Pie was filled with mildly spiced gochugaru, tender corned beef dice, and pieces of kimchi cabbage. Its outside flaky crust was generously sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. $7 However, my eyes caught sight of moist loaf slices of Pear-Cranberry and Calamansi, priced at $5 each. Mille Fête adapted the colorful, seasonal baked fruit quick bread slices to local tastes by adding calamansi, or Philippine Lime/Lemon. Each slice was glazed with a soft and not cloyingly sweet brown sugar icing. I couldn't wait to dig into this quick bread even though I was stuffed full with breakfast while sitting in the bakery. We're looking forward to returning to try a sandwich or other pastries with either a hot or cold beverage while relaxing in the bakery. The high quality ingredients, delicious flavors and perfect tender textures call out to us. read more

Whenever I am in town grabbing an iced matcha from one of my favorites next door or dining up the street, have to stop by Mille Fete. Whether I say I'm only going to show guests the bakery or if I know I will buy one or two of my favorite "cake sale", I seem to always end up with more! Today Robyn Mai, Owner of Mille Fete and Fete Restaurant up the street was introducing me to the many wonderful breads baked there. Ended up taking out a gigantuous loaf of sour dough bread and two cake sale. Lol. Have also tried just about everything in the showcase. My sweet treat favorite is the olive oil citrus cake. Bursting with flavor, you will want a cup of coffee or tea close by to compliment. Also love the bubo cookies. Space is bright and inviting with the largest picture windows. Often decorated for the season. Beautiful Christmas trees decorated and line the entrance. Parking can be a challenge. There are a handful of metered parking just outside of bakery. There is also a municipal parking lot just a short half block away accessed on South Beretania St. And I am told that if you are going to just pickup your treasures to go, you can pull into one of their stalls in back. "I am only going to look" are words not to be taken too seriously here! read more

Mille Fete, which translates to "a thousand celebrations," is a new bakery in Honolulu's Chinatown, which opened in February 2025. It is a collaboration between James Beard award-winning chef Robynne Maii of Fête restaurant and pastry chef Katherine Yang. Our cashier was very nice, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond in every way. She explained all the different pastries and desserts. They had cake, a black and white lilikoi (passion fruit) cookie, and empanadas. She informed us Mille Fete has a sister restaurant down the street, called Fete. Everything was fresh and the pastries were all so beautiful... I wanted to get everything! Lol. However, I was planning to eat my way through Chinatown and only ended up getting one pastry. I got the Citrus Olive Oil cake, which blew my mind! It was the best citrus olive oil cake I've ever had. It was topped with candied calamansi. We also got some coffee and coffee/soda drinks, and the carbonation provided an interesting contrast to the coffee. Our cashier even sat down and provided suggestions on what to do in Chinatown. Thank you for suggesting the Iolani Palace! We went and definitely enjoyed it. I look forward to coming back to Mille Fete the next time I am in Honolulu, and trying out Fete for lunch or dinner. Happy eating! read more

Found this little spot after having lunch in Downtown. This bakery is the same bakery that Fete uses for their bread. They also have sweets that are made in house. The lovely lady behind the counter offered us samples of their ice cream. Hubs got the Kulolo, and I went with the maple bourbon. We each got a scoop, and I will just say that a "Scoop" is not a scoop that would be expected, it was downright huge! Very generous and we asked for lids as we weren't able to finish the scoop. Great vibe, there were folks sitting in the seating area enjoying their treats and hanging out with their pup. There is seating facing the street and out in front of the storefront. read more

A nice bakery on Smith St, in Chinatown, that fits nicely next to Poai by Pono Potions. At this time there is a nice selection of creative and unique savories and sweets, along with refreshing tipples of coffee and tea. In the works is an eventual offering of natural wines and maybe some amaro along with some small bites in the evening. Mille Fête is a collaboration with Chef Robynne Maii of Fête and Gigi Blue NYC's Katherine Yang. Most people know about Yang's outrageously priced POG cake slice, but there a a couple of reasonably priced creations that reflect her time in NYC. One, a Chocolate Peanut Butter Whistle, is like a dipped candy bar square. It is really good and really bad for you (in a good way). If I buy a few, I will consume them in one sitting. No sharing. Another is a local version of a black and white, a quintessential NYC treat. A cake cookie base covered with dark chocolate and tart lilikoi fondant icing, called a Black and Lilikoi Cookie. The flavors are good but the softness of the cake-like cookie means I will only eat a part of one at a time. For local flavors their quick breads are good. Currently, they have a Mango Ulu Bread. These a nice thick slices and they are great with coffee. For local savory the Ludovico Curry Chicken Sandwich or Ludovico Chicken Pot Hand Pie are favorites of mine. It is a beautiful clean spot filled with pre-packaged goods and nicely displayed sweets and savories. I would like it better if I felt more appreciated here. The regular front-line workers are a very warm and courteous bunch. However, I have frequently seen Chef Robynne, her husband Chuck, or Katherine up front talking to someone who knows them and totally ignoring everyone else. When the owners won't say hello to you or show some appreciation for your business, it is hard to make Mille Fête a regular stop. read more

09/08/25-update. It's been awhile since my last visit here. I noticed a number of new items being offered here. Mille Fete is welcoming, clean and has a modern upbeat ambiance. Service is efficient and personable. 5/5 stars. There was no line at the time of our visit. We just had lunch at Fete, which is nearby. My sisters and I walked over to Mille Fete. I picked up calamansi spritz cookies, a Ludovico Chicken hand pie, a Lili bell ( Lilikoi flavored ), a black & Liliko'i cookie, and a Honey Angel biscuit. The calamansi cookie is one of my favorites. 5/5 stars. The black & Liliko'i cookie is a play on the black & white cookie. The cookie was a soft in texture and the flavor was interesting. 3/5 stars. The hand pie was amply filled with chicken and a bit on the dry side. I wish the filling had carrots or other vegetables inside. The pie crust was flaky and perfect. 3/5 stars. This was my dinner. Reheated in an air fryer is recommended. The rest of the items are for later. A repeat visit is in the future. read more

I walked to Mille Fete Wednesday afternoon to try and ease my sweet tooth. I had tried some of their items when I went to dinner at Fete recently and thought it was great so I was excited to visit their standalone store. It's located just around the corner from Fete. When I entered I was greeted immediately with a smile by a very sweet worker and an offer to explain their items available. She walked me through the different cases and gave explanations on each of them. She was so nice and helpful and helped me decide which items. My budget was $15 so I could either get their famous POG layer cake for $13 or 3 smaller items. I went with the 3 items so I could try a variety of their items to get a good idea, plus $13 for 3 items is very reasonable for here. I got the likikoi and chocolate cookie (modeled after the NYC black and white cookie), a pumpkin crunch whoopie pie, and a savory Japanese potato salad bun. Everything was excellent! I loved the tart balance of the lilikoi cookie. The seasonal whoopie pie was so good too, the filling was not too sweet and made with cream cheese, 10/10. The Japanese potato salad bun was also excellent, the bread was so soft and fluffy. The potato salad filling could maybe use a little bit more salt but otherwise no notes. The space is welcoming, clean, and modern with several tables for seating and a couple of benches outside. I want to come back and buy their bread (they sell their leftover bread on markdown!) and there's also lots of ice cream and drink options I want to try. read more

We were walking around Chinatown and stumbled upon this bakery and I would say it's one of my favorite bakeries since we came here 3 times!!! Our favorite pastry was the pistachio pineapple coffee cake. Sooo good. We also ordered the spam bun the potatoe salad bun and the POG slice cake. They also have 40% off day old sliced white bread and it was sooo good! Staff was friendly, place was so clean and a lot of natural light coming in. Great spot! read more

I've been meaning to write my review of Millie Fete for a while, but I wanted to let the experience sit with me. Overall, I like the concept of the food, the place is beautifully designed, but I wasn't fond of the flavors. I got a number if items, as I have a sweet tooth, including the PB whistles, chocolate cookie pack, and their twist on the black and white cookie. Truthfully, chocolate and lilikoi is an odd combo, though if you like chocolate and orange, you're probably okay with it. The whistles were my favorite. I also got the Spritz which were lacking in zing. At the price point, I expected to be wowed. I am disappointed that I wasn't, but give them a try. You might be. read more

I want to love this place but it's mediocre at best. Sorry not sorry. The half and half cookie was a soggy mess with a glaze that was gross to eat. The chocolate was really dense and not very enjoyable (stuck to my teeth) and the lilikoi glaze was an interesting touch but not enough to save the cookie. I was hopeful they'd mail this since they claim their "Brooklyn" roots. Nope. The savory umami bun thing was super greasy and dense. Like an artery clogging rock sitting on my stomach giving me heartburn. I went there another time and got 2 things that o can't remember exactly what they were but I do remember thinking I only liked 1 of them. Liking 1 out of 4 pastries are bad odds. read more

First time trying this out since seeing them advertised on a magazine (can't remember which one tho - maybe Honolulu Eater). Since I have a sweet tooth, I figured I'd try them out. Cute store. Fairly quick service as it wasn't busy when I came by (Thursday afternoon) Overall it was good but for the price, I expected to be wowed. Tried a few items -chocolate peanut butter whistles, pumpkin whoopie pie, lilikoi and classic belles, honey angel biscuit, and banana butterscotch budino. The belles remind of the devils foods cakes (ie ring dings, etc) from childhood. Kind of like a gourmet ish version. They were good but again I expected something better for the price. The best one was probably the honey angel biscuit. It's a muffin but a biscuit. Pretty creative IMO. Tastes good as well. Maybe I'll try the other items on the menu. read more

Reviewing again about their drinks. Wow I was so impressed with the Chinatown Coffee Soda that I had here! So refreshing and unique with no dairy so it was easy on the stomach! It was remnant of a cold brew yet it was so flavorful :o and yet fizzy? Definitely will be one of my go-to orders. Also sampled the Mr. M Iced Coffee - which was their take on a Vietnamese coffee. Also super delish. Their drinks AND baked goods are amazing. Interior was so bright, clean and inviting per usual, and service was super kind and sweet. They do a great job here. Definitely my go-to spot in Chinatown whenever I'm in the area. read more

I was so excited to try Mille Fete! When you walk in, you're greeted with a beautiful bakery display. The establishment is bright and clean, and there's a handful of workers waiting to assist. The lady who helped me was so kind to answer my questions, as it was my first time and I was looking for a specific dessert. The reason I gave only 3 stars though, was because the food is overhyped and pricey. Iced coffee $5--good size but way too sweet. POG cake slice $16-- you read that correctly...$16 for a slice of cake. It was interesting, but close to being dry. There was a layer of lilikoi jelly which was tart yet sweet, layer of mandarin oranges, and a layer of lovely guava, each separated by cake layers. There was also a nice thick cream of some sort which was tasty. But im not sure it was worth $16. Potato salad bao $5-- like a mashed potato with mixed frozen vegetables and a hint of spice to make it savory. Pineapple coffee cake $7--very crumbly. Apple Ginger loaf slice $5--amazing how much baked goods cost nowadays. But my family liked this one. They said the loaf was tasty but they didn't care for the spread on top-was too flavorful. Ludovico chicken pot hand pie $7--Lots of chicken in this but I think could use more flavor. Chocolate Peanut Buttle whistle $4--this is what we went for. We were told this is the best thing, so I bought 2. I had to ask about it because nothing in the display looked like it had peanut butter. This is a black/brown square. Inside is a layer of cake (or brownie? Not sure, it's thin), and peanut butter with rice crispies. It's refrigerated so little hard to bite through (vs a soft cake). Also, needs more peanut butter. Sorry, but Side Street will forever reign as king for this dessert. read more

If there's one thing about me... it's that I love a bakery. And it's bakeries like these that really remind me of my love for pastry. Located in Chinatown, Honolulu -- Mille Fete is like stepping into a whole new world where everything is delicious. The space is bright, clean, and perfect for people watching. Not only is the space beautiful, but everything behind the glass looked like edible art. I couldn't decide between savory and sweet and decided to get both! Getting a chicken sandwich from a bakery might sound crazy -- but it was so good! From the bread, fresh veggies and flavorful curried chicken- this is my ideal sandwich. For our sweet treat we went with the ulu bread. There was something so homey, like it was baked by a friend or family member -- but that ulu really took it to the next level. I can't wait to go back and try more! read more

There's a reason this James Beard-winning pastry chef has buzz. Mille Fête is chic, welcoming, and filled with pastries that look like works of art. The staff was sweet and patient while I took forever deciding. I went with the pumpkin crunch whoopie pie (soft, creamy, not too sweet - THE perfect fall vibes) and a cinnamon coffee that paired beautifully. Every bite felt elevated yet comforting, with that uniquely Hawaiian flavor flair. I'll absolutely be back to try more pastries. This spot is worth it! read more

Bougie. If I could leave a one-word Yelp review, that would be it. But unfortunately, the powers that be, have banned us all from such succulent brevity. Note, this is a coffee and cookie review, so I have no idea if the savory items are any good. Anywho, my dinner party got to Lucky Belly about 15 minutes early and they told us we could chill at the bar, hang out in the lobby, or come back on 15 minutes. So obviously we went to Mille Fete next door because, why wouldn't we? It was late in the day, so they didn't have much, but their Chinatown Coffee Soda peaked my better half's interest. She loves Yogurstory's coffee coke, which I find to be an abomination, but everyone can like different things. Surprisingly, it was smooth, flavorful and overall delicious. Mille Fete uses homemade cold brew, which is much less acidic and smooth like Jazz, along with a mild soda that lets the coffee shine. This drink is enough of a reason to come back. My friends seemed to share our sentiment on the Chinatown Coffee Soda as they happily finished theirs while munching down on a predinner snack of a Hawaii take on NYC's black and white cookies, where the white (more like slightly yellow) part was a lilikoi (passion fruit) style frosting. The few items remaining in the display cases looked good, but we were headed to dinner. So next time. Staff were very polite, fast, and kind as they didn't kick us out as they closed shop for the day. The store also sells Honoka'a Chocolate bars, which can be hard to find in other stores. The location is clean, well lit, modern, with a number of places to sit and enjoy your confectioneries and coffee. A bit pricey, but a nice splurge once in a while read more

My Dad, a lover of all things baked goods, was quite fixated on Mille Fête. He, myself, and Li Y. stopped by on a weekend so I could see what it was all about. This bakery reminded me of those I found back in California, but with a local twist. Something about the environment drew me in. It's clean, spacious, and has so much natural light. There's comfortable seating inside so you can enjoy your goodies to go, which is what we did. The workers were all busy but helpful in terms of answering our questions. The display case is beautiful and quite large. My eyes were growing at every item I looked at. My Dad chose to order a couple of pastries for us, Robynne's Cake Gluten Free Chocolate Rum Raisin and Roasted Pineapple Coffee Cake. The Chocolate Rum Raisin was quite heavy. Lots of chocolate going on with the rum raisin flavor in the ganache. One bite was enough for me, but it's nice they offer a gluten-free option. My Dad enjoyed the Roasted Pineapple Coffee Cake. I wouldn't mind coming back to try their other baked goods. Mille Fête gives off a mainland bakery vibe with comparable prices. Their pastries are an ode to local flavors but are a hit or miss. Regardless, it's worth a trip if you're curious. The shop is off Smith Street with street or garage parking. read more

I've been to Fete a handful of times and was excited to hear they were opening a bakery. The store is super clean and bright inside with a variety of pastries, both sweet and savory, on display. Service was super friendly, and they were offering samples. There's some seating inside but it was pretty crowded when we went on a Saturday morning. We ordered a bunch of different things - Japanese potato salad, kimchee Reuben, chicken pot pie, mango ulu bread, and the spam bao. The ulu bread was quite dry and the spam bao was overpowered by mustard. The kimchee Reuben was definitely my favorite. The meat was soft and flavorful, and I loved the crispiness of the dough. The chicken pot pie and Japanese potato salad were also good. I think it really depends on what you get here. Can be hit or miss and glad I got to try a bunch of different things. It is a little pricey for what you're getting though. read more

A charming bakery in Chinatown. Nice decorations, very clean looking and food well displayed. The service is excellent; everyone is so friendly and helpful. I tried two of their pastries; citrus olive oil cake and mango ulu bread. Both tasted good, not too sweet and very fresh. It was a little on the drier side and pricey. I would have preferred both to be more moist. There are so many other items on the menu its difficult to rate them on just two pastries. A lot of the savory choices looked delicious so I'll be coming back to try some of them. All in all, a very nice place to relax and take a break while looking around Chinatown. read more

Hot and new and super hyped up! I like their hours are open pretty late - it makes it easier to come down later in the day when most people are done galavanting around Chinatown. They are located near pono potions and is a cute little spot that's super bright and welcoming. I love that they're dog friendly too! The prices are kind of high for pastries - but I did try a pack of cookies for $10. It was just ok to me tho - if you like crunchy cookies then this is your jam. Luckily for me I don't have much of a sweet tooth. read more

Snack in Chinatown, Honolulu, Hawaii... It's always fun to explore a Hot New Business with your bestie! Irene and I took our kids (BunBun, Cony, and Brown) to Mille Fete. We found metered street parking and walked into a clean, bright, spacious shop! We enjoyed the beautiful Congratulatory floral bouquets and the seating areas. We actually sat at the counter, along the window, and watched the traffic and pedestrians pass by. Thanks for the purse hooks under the counter! Cony, Brown, and I shared the moist, decadent Ulu Chocolate cake and a refreshing Blood Orange soda. It was a fun, delicious splurge! Thanks to the friendly, patient staff who helped us decide on what to order! read more
