    two cups of coffee with whipped cream on top

    My go to for iced coffee and blended drinks!! Tobara is a gem. I've recommended them to so many of my family members and they always stock up on their delicious variety of fresh bread. Their conchas are to die for. The customer service is great! I will visit a few times a month because I crave their unique coffee taste!!

They were really busy but the staff was really nice and efficient. There are a few tables inside the quaint dessert shop. My boyfriend and I shared a Taiyaki Ice Cream ($7.95) with custard filling and ube soft serve. We also got some of the Taiyakis ($7.20 for 3) and opted for the custard, cheesecake, and cookie butter. Since it was busy and we knew it would take a while so we browsed the other retail businesses nearby. I noticed how considerate the staff was, as she waited for us to come back to dispense our soft serve ice cream, so it doesn't get soggy. It was much appreciated. I also notice that they premade some taiyaki shells for the soft serve ahead of time to cool so it doesn't melt the ice cream, but it lacks the warmness of a fresh taiyaki that the regular taiyakis have. I'm glad we got both to experience the best of both worlds. I can definitely see us coming back when we're in the area since we enjoyed the treats and the service is so considerate. Excited to try the new flavors they have in the future.

I've been here before, but ever since Salju went viral on TikTok, it's definitely gotten a lot busier compared to past years. That said, the quality is still great. I ordered a regular milk shaved ice with mango and mochi, plus condensed milk drizzled on top. The shaved ice itself and the toppings were delicious, but I'd probably skip the condensed milk next time since it made everything a bit too sweet for my taste. Portion sizes are generous. The small is easily enough to share between two people, and the medium is massive. There are tons of flavor options to choose from, and orders come out pretty quickly despite how busy it can get!

    We visited Butter Lab for the first time on 05/10/2026 in the late morning hours…read more The person helping us out at the counter, on this somewhat busy morning, kept the flow running nice and smooth (and he was friendly) So, we tried a few things during this visit. Two items for immediate consumption and then some cookies for later. We purchased a dozen of the regular size cookies, including both Ube and Thai Tea. Both of them were excellent, and I felt they were priced appropriately at a dozen for $18. The Thai Tea seriously tasted like you were truly drinking a thai tea. We also shared one large classic chocolate chip cookies (so yummy!) The only thing we didn't understand is that we shared a Ube Tres Leches. I am not sure what was going on. Don't get me wrong, what we ate was very good; however, it was 100% not Tres Leches. It was an Ube Cream with some graham cracker crumble underneath. So, my assumption is that they must have just given us the wrong item. I would love to try the Tres Leches again in the future. Please support his lovely local business. It was a real treat!

This place is really great! I love that they have unique flavors that most bakeries don't have like ube and pandan! The banana pudding is so good! Not too sweet! I came in just for that but I saw that they had a ube blondie and that was amazing too! Montebello isn't known for many things but these local shops really do bring the community together! I do see myself coming back here in the future, and I really hope to see this place succeed!

It's a small take and go place with a small coffee stand inside. Order at the counter and you're out the door in less than a minute. The lava buns are the best and what I always get.

For those who are not fans of egg or liquidy golden goodness, you can get the ones without the lava flow (aka, they just call it the "regular mooncake" - note, these are small in size compared to the "lava" ones). Flavors for both the "regular" and "lava" range from regular (contains mung bean paste), Ube, Taro w/ coconut milk, matcha, and black sesame. You can order each flavor on their own or get the 5 piece assorted box set, which is what I did to try each of the flavors out. The regular mooncakes without the lava are more dense because they do not have a space in the middle for the flowing eggy lava custard. I like that they each have that mung bean paste base that's not too sweet, but just slightly different in their flavors depending on which flavor you get. My favorite were the black sesame and the original. For the "lava" mooncakes, it's the same super light and flakiness on the outside with a thin layer of mung bean paste right underneath the flaky layers, then filled generously in the middle with the eggy custard. You must eat it hot or reheat in a toaster oven (if not eating it the same day) for max joy and experience. The lava eggy custard was sweet, but not overly "burn your throat" sweet and slight savory as well. It had a good custard flavor without it being too eggy. Come here for a once-in-a-while splurge when you're in the area. Definitely a treat to be shared!!!

They were very patient, and kept things moving efficiently even with a steady line of customers. The highlight is their signature Japanese cheesecake. It's incredibly light, fluffy, and subtly sweet that I absolutely love as it melts in your mouth. I ordered 2 of these to go to share with friends and family. I also got a few of their cheese tarts because I like how crispy and buttery their crust is and how rich and smooth filling it contains. My overall feeling of being here is cozy and inviting.

We ordered the big size, it was ready with enough cookies on top! I just wished we had gotten 2 instead of 1 We did get 4 of the mini cheesecakes, and I was a little disappointed. The outer cookie shell was not flavorful, it was blend, but once you get past that, the filling was one: ube, matcha and regular flavorful were my faves. I was not a fan of black sesame seed, but my daughter liked it! I would come back, but for the bigger cheesecakes!
