Denser in the middle but still moist and nice crisp all around the edges. You can easily pop them in one bite if you're like me but being so bite sized makes me feel a little less guilty even though they're probably the size of a standard cookie. haha. He also gave us two free cookies to try the Giddy S'mores and Tula! So nice of him! My favorites had to be the classic capuletti since I'm a choco chip cookie lover and the Giddy S'mores with the extra gooeyness of the marshmallow.

I wished we had arrived earlier to be able to enjoy more of the sold out offerings, but next time we'll arrive right when they open. We ordered a dozen crinkle cookies for a Mother's Day lunch - enjoying the sweet ube and the spiced thai tea versions. Both were great compliments to each other - more perfectly sweet and the other a bit more herbal. The chocolate chip cookie was perfect - nice crunchy edges and slightly gooey soft inside. The ube tres leches was a little disappointing as there wasn't any tres leches cake at the bottom, just crumbly graham crackers resting below exquisite ube mousse. It could have been mislabeled, but it was essentially just ube mousse with crumbly graham crackers for texture. The staff were friendly and the store is so fun!

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!

On my last visit, I ordered a swirl with Pure Milk and Pineapple Dole Whip, and it turned out to be incredibly refreshing. The combination was surprisingly light, making it the perfect treat for a warm day. The Ube flavor is another favorite of mine. It is rich, flavorful, and always satisfying. One thing I really appreciate is that the ice cream doesn't feel overly heavy or overly sweet, so I can indulge without feeling weighed down afterward. If you're looking for a refreshing dessert that's packed with flavor but not too rich, this spot definitely hits the mark.

I had a lovely experience at Motto Tea Cafe (San Gabriel). I ordered the Creme Brûlée Soufflé…read morePancake ($17.50). It's a fluffy, jiggly pancake topped with creme brûlée and glazed sugar. WOW! Each bite felt like a warm, decadent cloud. (Important Note: These Pancakes have a LONG wait. Each Jiggly Pancake had an expected 20 to 30 minute preparation time. Also, I recommend eating it dine-in. If you wait too long, these fluffy treats promptly get mushy.) I arrived at Motto Tea Cafe (San Gabriel) on Wednesday (11AM - Opening Time). Parking is easy. There's an underground lot for extra parking. Customers primarily order at the self-service kiosk. Customers must pay with card and insert phone number in the kiosk, but Customers can pay cash at the counter. Dine in customers grab a metal number that's stacked between the kiosks. Staff spoke limited English, but Staff is professional, diligent, and accommodating. My order took 24 minutes. As mentioned, I love the Creme Brûlée Soufflé Pancake ($17.50). It's plated and presented lovingly and seductively. It's memorable. With each motion, I bit hard onto its fluffy, lightly sweetened body. I savored how the creme brûlée's creamy sauce dribbled. It's layered, supple, and thick. I shake the plate. It dances. On ambiance, Motto Tea Cafe (San Gabriel) is comfortable. There's about seven interior tables and two counters. The music is slow-tempo and gentle. And it's clean. There's also a gender neutral restroom for customers. Overall, I created lovely memories at Motto Tea Cafe (San Gabriel). The wait is extremely long, but I found contentment at this journey's end. If you love wiggly pancakes & have plenty of time to spare, this is an easy recommendation. 4.8 out of 5

Been to Motto multiple times and the items here from drinks to food items have all been pretty…read moresolid! Quality to aesthetics get high marks but sometimes taste is lacking. Souffle pancakes in different occasions always look so pretty, are the best everyone's ever had, some some flavor profiles don't work. Maybe that's why the menu sometimes changes. For example the yuzu grape was completely bland because the yuzu drizzle on top was a thin line i couldn't taste at all. At least put a spread between each layer or pour a lot on top like the others (eg berry or mango). The mint leaves was the most potent flavor in this dish. Over the grapes, blueberries, matcha powder, yuzu. Got the mango triple layer drink this time and if you drink it carefully, you can appreciate the contrast from the mango puree, the milk, the creamy salted matcha. If you just mix it up completely you won't get that affect. One thing that bothers me is because the menu changes I seem to always be unable to get something I'm thinking of from the previous visit. I recall last time I had some mochi and rice ball I added to a drink that was so damn good and I couldn't add it this time. Though I recall that drink being $11.50 from the add ons. The souffle pancake was $21... so place is $$ but again the quality is there. Service wise, never interacted with staff really. Kiosk to order. Drinks just sit at counter when done. Didn't call numbers. Oh they did bring the pancake, no words spoken.

I'm going to miss this place as it is officially closing.

The location itself is super small and at times cramped depending on how crowded the events were. I did enjoy the tofu pudding here, but I do admit that their drinks could have been better. Did I ever go out of my way to get the drinks here? No. But did I come out here because they helped and played such a vital role in building a community? Hell yes. Thank you so much for the memories

In the 4 years that the cafe held the lease, I'd been meaning to stop by. And it took for them to…read moreannounce this location's closure to push me to stop by. I was hoping to have my own AE86 built and ready when I finally stopped by, but maybe for the new location. As an honest critique of the actual storefront, the appearance and decor is very charming. In a very bright, Japanese themed cafe kind of way. But because this is an Initial D themed drink and snack spot, I can see this being a place where mostly guys use this place as a meet-up hub. Especially for a small car meet. Very niche right? Especially for the dying breed of 1980's 1990's - 2000's JDM cars. That said, how many guys in the city could you actually get to come here regularly for soy and soy-based accessories, drinks, and snacks? The dessert was okay, and I wasn't in love with the drinks. Light, tofu refreshing, but not captivating. Personally, the menu doesn't appeal to me, since I try to avoid soy since it tends to be a pro-estrogen consumable. I don't think they had to box themselves in into being a purely tofu-only cafe. They could sell tofu products, and also have something simple but repeatedly addictive; like In-n-Out, Wurstkuche, Howling Ray's, Tea Master Matcha Cafe, Savoy, Langer's, etc. The closest idea I can think of that would be forced into tofu would be like really excellent, authentic mabo tofu, agedashi tofu, or like a karaage or Tokyo fried chicken style fried chicken with a mabo tofu dipping sauce, heavy on the ma-la flavors. Hell, I might even stop by more if they imported more car parts, from like Impulse, TRD, or Apex'i. But the way the AE86 market is, it makes more sense to sell online to the global niche. Wonderful atmosphere and mood for the Initial D/MF Ghost/Subaru to Subaru fandom. It was fun just to follow on instagram and catch a glimpse of all the influencer personalities in the car community stopping by. I'll look forward to what their next Project T(ofu) looks like. See you next time, Space (cow) boy. Oh-oh-oh. I need you babe.

What We Ordered: -Chamangos $7.50…read more-Nieves $3.00 -Nieves $3.00 I had heard of Garcia's Fruits for a while, but we finally visited recently. We wish we had come sooner! We were clearly missing out; it's less than a 15-minute drive from our home. I love supporting local, family-owned businesses, especially when they offer great quality at such affordable prices. The "Nieves" are only $3, and you can choose any two flavors. That's a steal compared to the big chains, which charge around $7 for two scoops. The portions are generous, enough for sharing! They offer Chamoy or Tajin on top. My wife had chocolate, and my son got strawberry; they both loved how smooth the ice cream was. I was told their ice cream is either water or milk-based. I'd heard the Chamangos were a must-try, and that's an understatement. I asked the staff for recommendations, and she was incredibly sweet and helpful. I asked her to pick her top three flavors, and she chose lime, watermelon, and mango - they were excellent! I added Chamoy and a bit of Tajin. We're definitely coming back; I will absolutely get Chamangos again!

The drink tasted great and quenched every bit of thirst I had. What else can someone need out of a boba shop? Overall, Chami Tea Bar gets a big thumbs up from me and I'll definitely be a returning customer in the future. As long as the Toy Depot stays open, I'll be coming back for more!

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. Watching the cheesecakes being freshly baked adds to the experience, and the sweet aroma fills the space in the best way possible. Definitely worth the visit if you're in the area.

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!
