Bake & Che — Restaurant in Rosemead

So excited this location is finally opening! Check out their socials for upcoming Grand Opening details!

Parking: If you're planning on driving here, don't do it. There's a small compact parking lot. Finding a spot will be a challenge.

Ambiance/Environment: They have a small space with a decent amount of indoor seating. No outdoor seating. Very clean and modern inside. There was no clear direction of where the line started, so customers just made their own line. And yes, there is a restroom for customer use only.

Service: Majority of the workers speak Vietnamese and English with an accent. You'll still be able to understand them. Everyone was nice, quick & efficient. Throughput was under 5 min after ordering.

Desserts: I've been visiting Bake & Che in Westminster ever since they opened. Safe to say the che and desserts are consistent and as delicious across both locations. My favorite dessert atm is their Che Thai. I just tried their new Che Bo (avocado), and honestly this is my new favorite hehe. All their ches are fresh, and they are not shy with the jellies and toppings. If you can't decide on a bakery item, highly recommend getting the preselected gift box, so you can try a little bit of everything. Their Flan Cheesecake is also heavenly! It had the perfect amount of sweetness, and it's not too heavy.

A good friend recommended Bake & Che when we had dinner down in Garden Grove for dinner a while back. He mentioned that there was always a line and as we drove by, saw the line first handedly.

Was excited to hear they were opening up a location in SGV and that it was down the street from work! Came on a Friday and as others have mentioned, the parking lot is no joke. I highly recommend parking on the street and walking there! Fortunately, I had a few spots to choose from as I had just missed the rush.

They are currently in a soft opening phase so be patient as they sort things out. Ordered the 5 cake sampler (palm sugar, durian pandan layer, mung bean, cassava and taro). It was nice that they offered to warm them up which did make them taste better but the true star are their drinks. I had the three colors (che ba mau) and I think this was the best I've ever had. You can definitely taste a difference in the toppings they use. Only complaint was with the ice as I'd prefer mine to be less chunky and more fine. I really enjoyed the flan but wasn’t a huge fan of the “cheesecake” at the bottom.

Workers were all friendly and had my fairly large order out in a few minutes.

Will definitely come back in the near future!

Came back to try the soy pudding, thai che and pandan grass jelly. All were awesome!! Also noticed this time that you can preorder directly on Toast so that you can avoid waiting in line and for them to...

My 5th time here!

Came during their soft opening on a weekday and came back during their grand opening and the staffs made the desserts quick. 10-15 min. The seatings are spacious but people sit for a long time. As time progressed, line is longer which can take up to 20 min to get your desserts!

Depending on the time, parking may be difficult. Their parking lot isn't too big. There is also street parking.

You can't adjust the sweetness of the orders. You can inform them if you want ice in the cup or on the side. I usually get it on the side because I order them to go most of the time.

#C1 - if you like durian, I'd recommend this one! The smell and flavor is there. The toppings are also loaded.

#C4 - I don't particularly like durian so I got this one. There's lots of different fillings as well.

Palm sugar - delicious! They run out of this often so I'd go before dinner than after!

Longan jelly - they give you a lot of longan in the cup. I'd recommend it if you like longan!

Pandan jelly - my go to jelly! kids also love this! The texture isn't really a...
