    Bu Pastry is a cute little cafe located at the Lake end of Burlington Arcade. I feel like I've been sleeping under a rock because I used to work a quarter mile away and don't remember this little outdoor mall lol. I haven't had many caneles, only notable one was from a random cafe in Tokyo, so I wanted to try the freshly baked caneles here! I got one of every available flavor for both the madeleines and the caneles and I prefer the caneles significantly more. While some of the madeleines are okay (butter & salt, lemon lavender), the others were not the best and on the dry side (chocolate, injeolmi). The caneles are crispy and crunchy on the outside while soft and fluffy on the inside, very tasty. My favorite was the ube taro because ube is baked into the canele itself, while the black sesame only had cream on top. Sadly, the party right in front of us bought the last matcha yuzu and the flavor switched to a caramel almond, which I liked way more than expected. A surprise favorite was the raspberry financier that was more flavorful and less dry than the madeleines. Also grabbed a cookie butter latte (seasonal) and a hojicha cloud, both were nice. There's plenty of parking in the giant lot on Mentor behind the shops. Would def return for drinks and caneles!

    Bu Pastry Bar is a gem of a spot located right in the Burlington Arcade. There is a parking lot here with a good amount of spots. Inside, they have a limited amount of seating but there are additional tables for seating outside. Wifey and I ended up trying the Earl Grey Canele, Brown Butter Madeline, and the Guava Blossom Sparkling Drink. Everything that we had was amazing and all of the staff here at very friendly and welcoming.

    House made Carmel latte

    Cute little pastry and coffee spot in Pasadena. I was looking for a coffee spot and what pulled me in was the house made Carmel latte. In addition to coffee, they had two types of Madelines. If I came earlier, looks like there was a selection of caneles too. My latte was delicious! I could taste the quality ingredients too.

    Bu Pastry is a cute new option in the Burlington Arcade, in the cutest little gardenscape area. It's actually right by some Tesla Superchargers, so a great option if you are charging nearby. I popped in on a Thursday early afternoon and they had a few vanilla caneles left, plus a few different flavors of Madelines. I was going to order a Vanilla Canele ($4.80) and 2 flavored Madelines ($4.50 each) but ended up getting 4 items (another Madeline) for $18 as they told me that saves me money. Not sure that math maths...but I can appreciate an upseller lol The Madelines were great (triple chocolate was my personal fav but all were just a dash too dry) and the canele was out of this world delish! Bu Pastry Bar also has some great drink options. I went with the Cloud Matcha ($8.50) as my drink with subbed oat milk, and absolutely loved it. I would definitely get this drink again but look forward to trying some of the other drinks next time I'm in. I will absolutely be back to try more of their Caneles flavors. I'll try going earlier next time so they aren't all sold out!

    Original Madeline, matcha canele, lavender canele.

    Conveniently located in the Burlington Arcade of Pasadena which means plenty of parking in the shared lot behind the establishment. The shop itself is small, modern, minimally cute. Apparently the name "Bu" is the owner's dog's name lol very cute. Here's what I got: Original madeline - buttery, lightly sweet, airy texture. Very satisfying. Original canele - prob my favorite. Crispy caramelized outer shell with a bouncy soft center. Lavender canele - consistent crispy caramelized shell with fragrant lavender cream inside and on top. They said it was an "Easter special". Matcha canele - you taste the matcha but I don't prefer this representation of matcha or canele. I like them separately.

    Biscoff Madeline- delicious
    Sanny C.

    Newest pastry shop in Pasadena with friendly services!! Bu was unique..from the menu to the way they bake their pastries =] I only tried their Madelines & coffee during my visit. I loved their biscoff Madeline. It was fresh and yummy. The cream added a nice touch to it. Texture was great. It was the right amount of moisture. They might have perfected this simple snack. The triple chocolate was ok. Not a fan. It was a bit dry. I did left it in my car for a while so not sure if that was the reason for the dryness. The coffee was pretty good. A lot of places could make good pastry, but not drinks. The staff recommend the vanilla cloud latte. It wasn't overly creamy or sweet =] However, I prob wouldn't order it again. It was an additional $1 for vanilla. The drink came out to $8 something for a pretty small cup. Not worth it, imo. I would like to return to try their earl grey canele. I don't see it often so I am curious. They do make the pastries on site. I could literally see the staffs prepping and making it in front. When I got there around 2pm, they had a sign saying out of canele and to return in 2 hrs...kinda confusing. Not sure when it was posted, but I m sure there will be no canele when they closed @4pm. Service was nice and friendly.

    Madeline's on display.

    Stopped in to try their specialty, canelés. They were just replenishing their stock when I came in the afternoon. Their Earl grey is my favorite since I love tea flavors followed by their matcha with yuzu--they gild the lily with a little spurt of yuzu cream that adds just a touch of acidity. The Madeline's were gorgeous, just your typical sponge that's on the drier side. I would definitely come back for the canelés. Surprisingly custardy on the inside that's in sharp contrast to the crusty and crunchy exterior. Refrigerates well too! Staff was very welcoming and efficient.

    Getting it for to-go and it might be a great call coming on weekday avoiding the rush hour. Still bit of wait but not bad at all. The spot was one of my favorite alley in town as it let me reminiscing the good old days spent in London, where they had very similar alley! Besides it carried nice cafes and such cozy space to just sit and people-watch. Getting both their madeleines and caneles despite they're unfortunately out of the biscoff one. The madeleines were just so so to me and tad dry for my liking. The caneles deserved the shoutout though particularly the earl grey one, serving solid tea flavor with buttery base. Reheating it prior to eating, it got the crispy outside yet chewy inside texture that I was really fond of.

    Saw this place on Tiktok and definitely wanted to try! Located in the Burlington Arcade, closer to Lake Ave, a few stores up from Mandarin. Rating: 4.5/5! We got a quad box: 1 Biscoff Madeleine 1 Matcha Canele 1 Black Sesame Canele 1 Earl Grey Canele 2 drinks: Matcha Latte and Hojicha Latte $35 (if I remember correctly) for everything above I actually really love their Hojicha. It's nutty, lightly sweetened, and it has a taste that I just couldnt describe. I'd definitely go back for that. Matcha is strong (in a good way) so it's definitely quality matcha. Madeleine was good. First bite, couldnt really tell if there was biscoff but the more you eat, the better it gets. Not too sweet either! Caneles were good as well. The outer shell is definitely crunchy -- borderline tough, the inside was soft. Plenty of parking. Overall, would go back :)

    I came for the Black Sesame Canelés but I'll be staying for the vibes. In the end I left with at least one of each pastry. The ambiance here is 10/10--super clean, minimalist, and peaceful. Huge shoutout to the staff who were so welcoming and attentive; they really take the time to make sure you have a great experience. It's easily one of the most beautiful and friendly shops in Pasadena. Don't skip this one!

    matcha latte (with whole milk & agave)
    Jenny L.

    I believe they are a week into their soft opening, so they are probably still working on their timing with prepping the goodies before opening. I came here this morning, right when they opened at 10 AM, with the goal of buying some dacquoises. A little disappointed that no dacquoises were displayed yet. Staff mentioned it was still cooling down in the back. I ordered Biscoff madeleines and they were good! Not sure how many different flavors they have in total since there were some empty trays out, but this morning they had Biscoff and double chocolate. The Biscoff madeleine has a cream filling, a nice glaze, and a cake-like texture; overall, yummy! Also got the black sesame canele which has a black sesame cream filling, somewhat firm mochi-like texture, and a nice crust; overall, yummy! Aside from the pastries, I got a matcha latte with whole milk and agave as a sweetener. I personally prefer my matcha stronger, but if you enjoy a matcha that's more earthy and mild then this is the place for you. I would rate their matcha latte a 6/10 for me. I hope the next time I come around that some dacquioses will be out on display since this isn't something a lot of cafes sell right now.

    Madeleine Lavender Lemon
    Delilah G.

    My friend and I had a coffee and pastry here while waiting for an appointment we scheduled in this really cute Pasadena Shopping plaza. BU Pastry had a line out the door but that did not deter me from ordering from this cafe. The line moved fairly quickly, and we had our drinks and pastries in hand shortly after. My friend ordered the Cookie Butter Latte; she shared the drink was creamy, sweet, but not too sweet, with a strong coffee and very present biscoff flavor. She said their cookie crumble on top of the cookie added the perfect amount of crunch. Right now, I am currently taking a break from caffeine so I ordered the Cloud Hojicha (they do not offer decaf at this place, just as a heads up). I was very pleased with my order as the Hojicha was very earthy, not very sweet (as I ordered it) and the flavor of the Hojicha was very strong but not overpowering. Pictured below, I ordered their freshly made Madeleine Lavender Lemon. The lemon curd was refreshing, sweet, and lemony but not sour. The lavender flavor was very present in the soft and fresh madeleine and the consistency of the pastry was perfect... dense but not too heavy. Thanks for a nice experience

    Cookie butter madeline, vanilla canele, matcha red bean dacquoise, hojicha dacquoise
    Sarah Y.

    Cute new spot in Pasadena! I stopped by recently and got to try quite a few items: the cookie butter madeleine, vanilla canelé, matcha red bean dacquoise, hojicha dacquoise, cloud matcha, and guava blossom sparkler. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience and the staff were amazing! My personal favorites were the hojicha dacquoise and the cookie butter madeleine. The hojicha dacquoise was a standout with its unique blend of Asian and French flavors. It had a nutty sweetness with a soft, delicate exterior and a creamy hojicha filling that balanced the textures beautifully. The cookie butter bits on the outside of the madeleine added a subtle sweetness and a nice textural contrast to the soft, buttery cake. For drinks, I ordered the cloud matcha without added sweetener and really loved it. The cream topping had a slight hint of saltiness that balanced the richness of the cream and the earthy matcha really well. The guava blossom sparkler was bright and refreshing with a noticeable real guava flavor--perfect for a hot day and caffeine free! Next time I might ask for it a little less sweet, but it was still very enjoyable. Overall, I loved the experience. Shout out to the staff, Eunice in particular, who gave great recommendations! As someone who's a big fan of madeleines, pastries, and matcha, this is definitely a spot I'd come back to. Free parking and aesthetic vibes are a plus!

One thing I will say is that the vanilla ice cream reminds me of going to Carvel as a kid and that's a hill I will proudly die on. Overall, L'moon Creamery definitely has it's own vibe compared to many of the other Pasadena ice cream shops.

Staff allowed to sample their unique flavor options. **To note, they offer a few vegan flavors for those with dietary restrictions**. Always a huge plus and positive! The flavors are middle eastern inspired and the details are all listed. My wife and I sampled 2 flavors and we both enjoyed our selections. The flavors are memorable. We happily decided on the Sesame Halve (vegan) & Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell (+$1.00) for myself. The presentation is one of a kind! The topping with the tiny little rose is a nice aesthetic and definitely their trademark. The location offers retro and colorful style seating for 10+ customers if I had to guess . Patio seats are also offered outside. Also, OG Pac-Man arcades are available inside. My wife loved her Sesame Halva and my Pistachio Konafa with Chocolate Shell totally reminded me of a Dubai Chocolate type of vibe with each bite!

When we arrived, we were the only two there for a few minutes until more people came. We were greeted right away. We walked down a ramp that led us to their selections.

It's been a few days since then and we can't stop thinking about coming back. They serve unique Middle-Eastern flavored ice cream. I ordered the Sesame Halva which is their vegan ice cream made of Halva ice cream with sesame & coconut. OMG, I've never tasted anything like this before. I love anything that has a sesame profile. If you like that nutty, sweet, and earthy flavor this one is for you. I could taste the coconut, but it wasn't overpowering. There were also little chunks of halva in there that added a slight bit of sweetness. The texture was similar to cookie dough, but softer. Aside from the taste, I loved the simple presentation of the small rose on top of the scoop. It made it look elegant. As you can tell, I am definitely coming back and highly recommend stopping by.

One thing that really stands out is their unique Asian-inspired flavors along with other globally influenced creations. It feels different from the typical ice cream shops out there. I always get the Pandan Tres Leches, which has coconut cake and condensed milk mixed in. The ice cream itself is not overly sweet and has a really pleasant flavor that balances everything well. There is limited seating available near the windows inside, and the space itself feels pretty similar to a typical ice cream shop. Overall, I highly recommend stopping by and trying some of their flavors. Even if you are unsure at first, it is a fun place to explore different combinations and try something outside of the usual ice cream flavors.

The Ube Malted Crunch® definitely lived up to the hype. It was creamy, rich, and had that slightly nutty vanilla-like ube flavor with crunchy malted bits that added a really fun texture. You can see why it's their signature flavor. The pandan tres leches was also interesting and unique. It's light, creamy, and fragrant with a subtle pandan flavor that felt refreshing rather than overly sweet. It had a soft, milky dessert vibe that worked really well as ice cream. Service was friendly and patient while letting us sample flavors, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The vibe is modern, trendy, and fun, with lots of creative flavors inspired by different cultures and desserts around the world. Definitely feels like more than just a typical ice cream shop. Would absolutely come back to try more seasonal and specialty flavors next time.
