    As fluffy and delicious as expected! It's like covering your tongue in a cozy blanket; definitely worth a 45min wait for those thick, fluffy souffles that dissolve in your mouth. Ordered the Oreo Crepe, Custard Taiyaki, Nutella Taiyaki, Original Souffle, Nutella Souffle and hot Sea Salt Caramel Coffee (less sweer). The crepes were way better than expected, like 12 layers of paper thin crepes and fluffy light creme in between that cuts through like butter. The souffles are amazing, a fluffy dream, they just dissolve and have a delicious egg and butter flavor, cream on top is delicious. The Sea salt caramel coffee washed everything down warm and smooth. It had thick foam, delicious flavor and not too sweet. The place itself is very cute, tall ceiling and nice interior design, clean with about 10 or so seating tables and a bathroom. It's located on the corner with street parking or a lot across the street. Guy at the counter was a little grumpy but I personally don't care; my experience there was awesome and I'll be back sometime for more

    It’s a very cute cafe. We were able to park on the street. There was quite a bit of seating inside and outside. The staff, Denise and Alexis, were friendly and attentive. We tried the Japanese soufflé pancakes, the mango and the Nutella flavor. I had preordered online so that the pancakes were already being made by Alexis when we arrived. There were lots of activities when we were there including a mini pool table, games and books. The soufflé pancakes were very light and airy and perfectly prepared. The drinks we ordered, matcha red bean and boba milk tea were also good.

    Nice little cafe with friendly staff. The popcorn chicken was very good. The soufflé pancake was also good and very moist. Portions are big so it’s good to share. Got the taro milk tea with 50% sweet and it was just perfect, not overly sweet. This cafe have classic video games or you can play board or card games. There’s also books. There’s parking but is 30 minutes.

    Was craving fried snacks and got exactly what I came for. Fried goodness Taiwanese style? Popcorn chicken and no frills French fries. Love going to boba shops for their snack foods and this places didn’t let me down.

    This is my go-to boba spot. The boba flavor reminds me so much of when I was in Japan, so it’s very nostalgic for me. They have tons of boba and fruit tea options that allow you to customize the sweetness, which is nice. And I always add Taiyaki with custard filling whenever I go, it just hits the spot ❤️

    I bought a Thai ice tea all they gave me was mostly ice , they filled up my the cup with ice to the top . I know it’s a hot day , there abusing the fact. And i didn’t go in there to buy ice. They just lost a customer. Here’s pictures so you can see how much ice they put in my drink. I’ll never go in there again .

    Small shop, limited seating, maybe about 5 tables available only. They really need one or two more tables. Service was really good but they seem a little disorganized and frazzled. I was told that it would take 25-30 minutes for my soufflé but it ended up being maybe only 15 minutes. There were no open tables but a little before I got my soufflé, two tables opened up at the same time, so we were able to get a seat. Mille Crepe Cake was excellent. Super moist and creamy. The texture was perfect, so soft! Excellent flavor, not too sweet. I got the Soufflé Matcha Lover because there were pictures of it on the television screen next to the menu that kept playing the same ad photos over and over. The Matcha Lover showed a decadent matcha cream poured all over the top, garnished with strawberries on a nice white plate. Disappointingly, when I got my soufflé, it was served in a paper hot dog tray, tucked into another to-go box. I was unhappy about the box because I hate constant disposable lifestyle we live, plus it just doesn't look good in photos. It was so hard to try to take the tray out of the box that I was afraid I'd make a huge mess doing so that I ended up just leaving it alone. Instead of the fresh strawberries that I saw on the ad photos, I got a couple of green tea panda cookies and red beans- I hate both. Had I known that that was what I was going to get based on false advertising, I would've requested the fresh strawberries. The soufflé isn't nearly as thick or as fluffy as they show in their ads either. The saving grace of that dessert was that it was definitely moist and the matcha was solid. It had that really deep, grassy taste indicative of matcha. The drinks are great. The Passion Fruit Green Tea has real passion fruit in it versus just syrup and they have nice varieties of Oolong tea as well. The soufflés are a little overpriced for something that really just tastes like a glorified pancake.

    I was accidentally in the area and was too curious not to try! All I can say is...WoW, what a fluff!!! Souffles are amazing and delicious! I also had a tea. There is a Minnie pool table and a few games around as well as the book shelf. This place is amazing! Good job Miss Cheese!

    I love it here, this cafe is truly amazing!! The soufflé pancakes have a wonderful, fluffy texture and the fruits are very fresh. The popcorn chicken is seasoned so well. I definitely recommend this trying cafe.

    Quiet place with a simple and clean interior. The souffle pancakes are as good as advertised. A nice selection of unique teas and coffee. Pancakes do take 25 mins so if you are in a rush I'd call in your order.

    Legit freshly made souffle pancakes! We tried the lava flow souffle, strawberry cloud and nutella boba flow. Will definitely return to try other flavors!

    i got the strawberry sunset 🍓🌅 and it tasted so ✨astronomical✨, words can’t describe how much the yogurt complimented the strawberry smoothie. i always see this place when i go on drives contemplating life and hesitated on going because it’s called “miss cheese” and i hate cheese😤! not a bad place, they have miniature pool table that my friend and i sucked at but nonetheless we had fun. ☺️would def comeback for that strawberry sunset. a little pricey tho? 🤨i did see somewhere in the reviews the owner say that it’s because employees get payed more that $20 but they seemed mid😔. cute place tho!🤍

    Cute tea place. Came here twice while I was visiting LA. I ordered their grapefruit tea soda to just try and wasn't the biggest fan of it. I'm sure their other drinks are better. But I really enjoyed their souffle pancakes on my second visit. They were nice and fluffy. The one caveat is it takes a while to make, so my boyfriend and I didn't get our orders together. It took a while to get the second order so we shared the first one while we waited for the second. The environment is pretty nice, and they have some fun games you can play while you visit.

    I love this cafe! All the food I’ve had is great; the tea is great. I wish I could eat soufflé pancakes and popcorn chicken every day.

    I only got a mango tornado drink (25% sweetness), but it was really good. Atmosphere is lovely, seems like a great place to hang out for the day. Was definitely smitten by it. Coming back next time I'm in the area and trying the food too.

    Cute little shop specializing in snacks and milk teas! There’s a few outdoor tables and plenty of indoor seating. Tried their Ceylon with cheese foam and it was pretty good but on the pricey side. Overall not a bad choice for the area.

    Food is OK, Boba is very good and it is the saving grace of this store, if they ever get your order. The service? Forget about it. There is clearly an issue. You can be standing in front of the register and people are literally walking behind it and they will ignore you. Not sure what is the process here but on the majority of restaurants. They get your order and you sit and wait while they cook. Here you stand up and hope to be noticed. Ehhh... There is another place on Green that do things better anyway.

    We ordered delivery at night and it came like this. It was perfect and everything tasted amazing. The pancakes were fluffy and the sides and toppings are yummy.

    April 2023 Food/Pricing - $6.99+ for drinks... a bit pricey. On top of that, the drinks tasted watered down. Pretty disappointed. We got Hokkaido milk Tea and Oreo Brulee Matcha Latte. Service/Ambiance - Service was very friendly and drinks were ready pretty quickly. There's an arcade Street Fighter game machine you can occupy yourself with while you're there! Plus a mini billiards table set up. Cute place to visit. Parking - Tough to find street parking during busy times.

    First time came here to try this place out. My friends said they're quite good. There were not too many customers when we arrived and ordered few top choices of their drinks choices. Standing outside due to the pandemic situation. Waited forever for our drinks to be ready. Taste were ok. Customer service so so and prices wise are quite high.

    The different drinks we tried were delicious. The souffle dessert was really good too. It's a dainty shop with nice music and comfortable seating. Nice for a yummy treat!

  • 5/5 Laura F. 1 year ago on Google
    We got the 2-piece matcha Taiyaki with red bean, it was crispy and had a soft mochi-like texture on the inside. 10/10. As for drinks, we got the Iced Matcha Milk with Red Bean (includes crystal boba) 7/10 because it is a bit watery but overall pretty good. We also got the Mango Green Tea (added boba) 7.5/10 at 75% sweetness it was perfect. The (PP5) cups seemed to have a wax paper lid which seems more eco friendly. The containers were also made of paper. The cafe kind of smelled like cooking oil though??? Overall 4.5/5 stars.

    I wish I had visited this cafe sooner! We will definitely be back again. Friendly and helpful staff, clean and inviting setting, drinks were great, and food was delicious. Nothing to fault here.

    I've been wanting to try this place for so long. The pictures all look so amazing. I ordered the chocolate banana souffle. Let me first say it was very good. But I didn't realize just how light and airy the souffle is. It's so fluffy that it almost disappears when paired with something as dense as a banana. I think next time I would try the Nutella and hope for more balance in the dish. The store itself is very nice and clean. You will have to wait quite a long time for a souffle if that is what you are there for.

    A part of Pasadena since 2019, Miss Cheese Tea Café has proven quite adaptable in its first two years of business, and with pandemic precautions slowly lifting across California the cutesy space that started with Bubble Tea and Shaved Ice is now making a name for itself with Fluffy Pancakes. Locally owned and conveniently located, a public garage just steps away, it was minutes before the official noon opening that guests were invited in, an automated touchpad making ordering and payment easy as K-Pop played overhead. Also hosting a small craft-sale on Mother’s Day, its owner an entitled twenty-something that Miss Cheese should not welcome back, it was perhaps ten minutes before two plates emerged from behind the counter, dueling Taiyaki with Custard not exactly what had been requested and under-filled though the Waffle itself fared well. Taking a pass on Boba, and a bit disappointed that Mille Crepe Cakes are no longer #trending enough to sell, it is in exchange for $13.99 that diners can indulge in jiggly rounds of Flour and Egg Whites that live up to their “Soufflé” name next to silky Whipped Cream and Maple Syrup.
