Unique, super tasty food and coffee! I would order/go so much more often if they didn't open so late in the mornings for a cafe.

Cafe Aloe is the ultimate cafe & place to find bolo baos in Bellevue! I love the variety (flavors and shapes) in their bolo baos. Their HK sandwiches using bolo bao buns are so good when I need a savory snack! Their baos are so cute & delicious as well - I especially love the custard and taro ones! I love the different cremas on the drinks here, which makes them stand out from the local cafes. I love trying their different crema lattes. The vibes here are always bright, open & such friendly staff working!

This cafe is the perfect blend of aesthetic charm and delicious flavors! We tried the Coconut Matcha Cream Coffee and the Black Sesame Cream Coffee, and I loved how the light cream complemented the coffee perfectly. We also had two of their Hong Kong-style breakfast sandwiches (Spam and Shrimp), served on soft pineapple buns. The egg was very fluffy. I personally loved the unique sweet-and-savory combination, but if that's not your preference, I'd recommend trying their savory buns instead. You can't leave without trying their piggy buns, they're irresistibly cute, incredibly soft, and absolutely delicious! My favorite was the taro-filled bun, but the custard and molten custard flavors were just as tasty. I was really impressed to learn that everything is made in-house, and the service was fast and friendly. The cafe is located in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of seating, making it a great spot to relax or get some work done.

I've driven by Cafe Aloe so many times and finally tried it last week. I parked on the street around the corner. I ordered the strawberry matcha drink. Unfortunately, as a matcha lover this wasn't quite what I was expecting. I love the flavor of matcha and this drink just tasted like strawberry milk. The flavor of the strawberry was good, but I wanted a lot more matcha in this. It was also pretty sweet. I didn't try any food, so this review is only for the drink.

Located in downtown bellevue close to the former toys r us. Street parking. Tried a couple of their adorable pastries- Nutella bear and matcha mochi turtle. The filling was delicious but wish there was a little more filling to bread ratio. Will definitely be back to try other pastries such as the green tea egg tart and the sesame latte. Great bright place to hangout with lots of tables.

While here for my first time for a Yelp Elite experience, I bought a pineapple bun to go with my mocha. I got here shortly after they opened and their sign still said closed but I tried the door and it opened! I offered to turn the sign over to "Open" and they gratefully accepted. I was the first customer of the day so the couple behind the counter were busily prepping everything while I was there so I didn't get to chat much with them. I did learn they opened in 2020 and survived the pandemic which is saying something. I enjoyed the pineapple bun as it was just right - slightly sweet and crunchy. The cafe interior is very nice with some good photo ops and a large dining room area. The place is well lit with large windows facing the streets. Overall, this is a nice place for a beverage and a quick snack.

Such a cute little cafe! I visited on a Monday afternoon and found most tables occupied, so it's clearly a popular spot. I tried the Biscoff Gingerbread Latte, which came cold, and I really enjoyed the flavor--it definitely brought some holiday vibes! I also had the Musubi HK sandwich, which was a good size for $12. They offer free Wi-Fi in the cafe. Note: Parking is on the street.

Bright neighborhood cafe with Asian/Hong Kong inspired food and drinks. I came a little after noon on a Saturday and they were all out of HK sandwiches, which was surprising, so I ordered the cheesy egg bun instead. The bun was a typical Asian style savory and sweet bun, but the scrambled eggs were really fluffy and done well. The taro piggy bun was good but I think the cute visual is the bigger selling point here. I really loved the black sesame latte and will be coming back for more. The crema was thick and done right unlike other cafes that are just hopping on the trend. Recommend it!

Cafe Aloe shares the entrance to an apartment building, but the little tucked away cafe serves some of the prettiest pineapple buns (as well as other cute animal-shaped buns, pastries, and drinks). Pineapple buns are one of my favorites-- they have zero pineapple in them and usually have a sweet layer of cookie-like sugar crust on top with a sweet and chewy Asian bread on the bottom. Cafe Aloe's version is extra cute and petite, and the crust was scrumptious (as well as very crumbly and messy) but their bread part was more on the dry and tasteless side... like a normal dinner roll. I also tried their sandwiches which use the pineapple buns as bread slices, and they were tasty. The creamy scrambled eggs were delicious and made everything meld together really well :) They are expensive though, $5 for a pineapple bun (usually $1 at a Chinese bakery) and $13 for a sandwich the size of my small fist, but they were fun to try at least! The cafe is clean and has several booths and chairs for seating, could be good for studying, but it was pretty empty both times I visited. Service was friendly enough. Even though they had signs for black sesame pineapple buns (!!), they weren't selling them. If you're down to splurge on a tasty sandwich or try some fun looking snacks, come visit!
