The Journey of Caf Aloe Bringing Hong Kong Bites to the Eastside

Café Aloe has become a beloved spot in Bellevue, Washington, since its inception in 2015, providing a unique culinary experience rooted in Hong Kong traditions. Co-founders Julie and John Wu, who come from a family with a rich history in dim sum, launched the café with the vision of sharing their treasured family recipes. The café specializes in Hong Kong-style milk teas and freshly baked pastries, including the popular steamed piggy buns filled with molten custard or taro paste. Their crispy Hong Kong sandwiches, perfect for breakfast, showcase their creativity and commitment to quality. Julie and John aspire to expand their menu further, potentially leading to additional locations if their success continues. They prioritize customer experience, emphasizing the joy of seeing satisfied patrons leave after enjoying their offerings. Café Aloe serves not just as a café but as a community hub where people can relax and connect. With their unique culinary contributions, they are making a significant impact on the local food scene.
