"Miopane has an emphasis on Asian diasporic flavors; all the pastries come packed in plastic sleeves. The main differences are the actual selections: Miopane specializes in breakfast pastries including a variety of soft stuffed bagels and flaky, laminated croissants. The drinks also feel more thought out with variations of matcha lattes that boast dark green hues and robust green tea flavor."
"The matcha crumble bagel deserves more attention. A sweet, crumbly matching filling gets stuffed throughout the green matcha-flavored bagel dough - an optimal choice for matcha enthusiasts like me."
"Depending on whether you're a coffee or tea lover, choose one of the signature "pillow" drinks. These double cream lattes feature fluffy cream tops with intense flavors of either coffee, hojicha, or matcha."
Miopane, a newcomer to Pasadena, draws comparisons to the viral 85°C Bakery Cafe but distinguishes itself through its focus on breakfast pastries, particularly soft stuffed bagels and flaky croissants with Asian diasporic flavors. The bakery offers thoughtfully crafted matcha lattes with robust green tea flavor and signature "pillow" drinks featuring double cream with intense coffee, hojicha, or matcha notes. Notable menu items include the matcha crumble bagel with sweet crumbly filling, the green onion croissant balanced with honey glaze, and the black sesame bagel reminiscent of tangyuan. All pastries arrive in plastic sleeves. Despite current long lines, arriving at opening time reduces wait times. Convenient parking is available at the nearby Marriott garage for one dollar per two hours.
