    Devouring the oatmeal, cream cheese filled cookie sandwich
    Carlitos W.

    This is my happy place. I love coming here after work and unwinding with my favorite drink the lady black. I love the fun vibes and the staff. Everything is made from scratch my favorites are the molasses cookie, the oatmeal sandwich, cookie, and the Thai tea crinkle cookie. don't sleep on their pies, the chicken pot is my fave. A favorite at my house is the banana cream pie pudding. don't sleep on the coffee cake, I took it to work and not a crumb was left.

    I saw this bakery, go a little bit viral on Instagram and was visiting family in the area so I decided to give it a try and support a small business and let me tell you I was not disappointed. They had so many things to choose from it took me a moment to decide, but I ended up getting their crinkle cookies Which seemed to be popular because a lady came in after and ordered the rest of the ones that they had on the display. I also ended up ordering an Ube cheesecake and a Tres leches cake slices and everything was so delicious but by far my favorite was the Ube cheesecake. It was so unique and delicious 10 out of 10 would recommend can't wait to go back and try some of their other creations.

    We visited Butter Lab for the first time on 05/10/2026 in the late morning hours. 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!

    Chocolate Chip Cookies
    Christina P.

    I was craving something sweet and figured since I live in Montebello, why not try a local bakery I haven't been to yet...The Yelp reviews were great, so I had to check it out for myself. I'm a big chocolate lover and originally came in for a chocolate brownie, but they were unfortunately out. They did have an ube brownie, and it seems like a lot of their desserts feature ube. I also noticed that they use organic and natural ingredients, which I really appreciated. The owner was incredibly kind and even let me sample the ube brownie. For me personally, it was a bit too sweet, but that really just comes down to preference. The chocolate chip cookies had just come out of the oven, so they were super fresh, maybe a little softer and more textured than I typically like, just a bit too raw for me, but still a good cookie overall. I'll admit, I can be a little picky when it comes to desserts. The standout for me was the café de olla latte, absolutely delicious because she made it with care, definitely something I would come back for. While the desserts didn't quite hit the mark for my taste, I still think this spot is worth trying. The owner is genuinely sweet, and the space itself is adorable, very warm, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated with a dessert-inspired theme. Overall, it just might be one of those places that others will love more than I did, but I'm glad I gave it a try...

    Basque Cheesecake, Banana Pudding, Bread pudding and apricot cookies
    Marcela O.

    Okay this place is dangerously good! I popped in after work the other day and on my way home to pick up something for my sweet tooth. I walked out with apricot linzer cookies, banana pudding, bread pudding, and the basque cheesecake. Heaven. All of it. I had previously tried the tiramisu and the bread pudding as well as the tres leches, and can say that every dessert item has been exceptionally good. Nothing is overly sweet and portions are good enough to share or devour alone like I did. Will continue to pop in to try more goodies and satisfy my sweet tooth!

    Came across this little gem today and I cannot stress how good these delights are. First the selections are right up my alley for cookies we had Vietnamese coffee, matcha, strawberry, chocolate brownie, pandan and oatmeal cranberry. We also had the ube brownie and ube cheesecake, with a cold brew. Turned around and grabbed a coffee cake along with everything else. Coffee cake was okay kind of underwhelming. Everything besides that was so good! Authentic look and flavors. Madds was super friendly and helpful in explaining all the flavors. Honestly hands down best cookies I've tasted.

    Ube crinkle cookies
    Claribel V.

    I had been craving ube crinkle cookies and was searching Yelp for a bakery that sells them when I stumbled upon Butter Lab. Since it was Super Bowl Sunday, I called first to make sure they were open. It took about seven calls before someone finally picked up. I placed a phone order for six mini ube crinkle cookies, one large ube crinkle cookie, and a bag of ube blondie edges. When I arrived, there was only one person working, who looked like the baker and possibly the owner, so I understood why it took a while to answer the phone. Although I had reserved one large ube crinkle cookie, it wasn't included in my order, which ended up being fine because the mini cookies were a good size and felt like a better value at $1.50 each compared to $3.00 for the large one. The crinkle cookies and blondie edges were good. I wish the cookies were a bit more chewy rather than cake-like and less sweet, but they were still delicious and reasonably priced. The blondie edges were a great deal at $3 per bag, especially if you enjoy the edge pieces of brownies. I would return here for the brownie edges.

    From outta town and google map'd for bakeries / sweet treats while in the area. I like ube tres leches, carrot cake cupcake and the Thai tea crinkle. Apricot jam cookie was good too. The corn and saffron crinkle had good flavor too but the sweetness level was quite high for me but I know friends that have that high of a sweet tooth that would love it. Would come back again to try again, thanks!

    I've been coming to this bakery for a bit now. My kids love the tres leches cakes. So much so that my daughter wanter her birthday cake to be tres leches from butter lab. The owner is so sweet and the rest of the staff is always so nice. I have yet to try any of the drinks but i will definitely be ordering something soon.

    Driving along Beverly Blvd, I was craving cookies Lo and behold I found one Cute small business owned cookie shop While I haven't tried the chocolate chip Cookie, I did try the crinkles-definitely Asian inspired flavors like Pandan, durian, green tea...I would have liked to tried the Ube but they were all out I'll try to come back again!

    Just visited this bakery and it's cutely decorated with some yummy desserts. The basque cheesecake was delicious along with the ube tres leches. Unfortunately, they were out of the banana pudding so we were unable to try them. Unfortunately, they crinkle cookies weren't too flavorful and not something I would purchase again. The bag of ube blondie ends were thee best deal and tasted great! The service was wonderful. She was so patient and knowledgeable of all that was ordered. A lovely, local gem.

    Ana T.

    This is a great bakery. I was looking into ordering two dozen cookies, and I saw that this place had better pricing than other places I checked out. It was easy to place order and pick up. The Pandan and Ube crinkle cookies were a real hit for a holiday joy. I also tried the matcha latte (not my favorite) and teh manis (so good) along with some other baked goods.

It's warm, flakey, savory, and such a good pairing with coffee. The space itself is nice for sitting and getting some work done. There's only indoor seating and I will say the chairs aren't the most comfortable if you're planning to stay for a LONG time, but there are plenty of outlets available, which makes up for it a little. WiFi is also available. Parking was pretty easy. There is street parking nearby and a small parking lot in the back. I would come back if I need to get work done, and honestly, another Bumble Bee!

The coffee was well-made - it wasn't burnt, overly bitter, or sour, so the extraction seemed solid. However, the flavor felt flat and watered down. It lacked the aroma, body, and rich roasted notes that make a cup memorable. Nothing really stood out, leaving it tasting more diluted than satisfying. Also, I don't think the barista could froth the coffee well. Instead of a nice velvety, dense froth, the froth was a bubbly foam (see photo). Food - 3/5. I visited around 9 a.m., but the pastry selection was surprisingly limited (see photo). The pastries also didn't taste particularly fresh; they had more of the texture and flavor you'd expect from pastries sitting out later in the day rather than freshly baked items you'd hope to find early in the morning. The café has a modern, hip vibe and a warm, inviting atmosphere. It's spacious, with plenty of seating, making it a pleasant place to spend some time. Overall, Smoking Tiger Coffee Lab is a fine neighborhood café if you're looking for a comfortable place to sit and enjoy a coffee. Unfortunately, neither the coffee nor the food left much of an impression. Nothing was particularly bad, but nothing really stood out either. While the ambiance is probably its strongest point, the coffee is just average.
