The stuff people ask us every day — hours, preorders, the drive-thru, and what time to get here before we sell out.
Mellow Yellow Café
We are open 7:30am–3:00pm every day, except Tuesdays. We’ve been closing when we sell out each day but we decided to just change our hours for now and stay open for coffees and lemonades until 3. You can always call before you make the trip to see if we have any rolls left!

We take preorders Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. To place an order, just give us a call! 530-215-3664. We can accommodate small orders day of, but any orders more than two 6 packs need to be placed the day before. We require payment at the time of order. Friday–Sunday, rolls are first come, first served. We try our best to make it fair for everyone who comes and waits in line.
Mellow Yellow Café
Yes! Our drive thru is open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Friday–Sunday, we do walk in only to keep things moving more efficiently and reduce wait times.

Every day is different. We’ve sold out of hundreds of rolls in as little as 2.5 hours. Sometimes we still have some into the early afternoon. But the only way to guarantee you get the flavors you’re wanting is to preorder for a weekday or be here when we open at 7:30am!

Our rolls take about 24 hours start to finish. We start the dough for the next day as soon as we finish frosting/decorating all the rolls each morning. I’ve tried a couple times to make a second batch when we’ve sold out really early, and it just doesn’t work. You can’t rush the process! So for now we have what we bake in the mornings and when we’re out, we’re out.

Right now, we don’t have plans to move or open a second location yet. We just opened March 26th of this year, and my team and I are still learning so much every day. We plan on revisiting the idea of another location at the end of this year. But if/when we do, we will still stay in this beautiful space we’re in now. What we are working on though, is maximizing this building to be able to make hundreds more rolls per day. We’re talking another oven, a hood, possibly a walk in fridge. We’ve got big plans! But we’re staying put here.
Give us a ring before you make the trip — we’ll tell you exactly what’s left in the case.
