I had more than enough points to redeem a free pastry reward, and since I was just at nearby Del…read moreAmo Fashion Center, I figured why not use one of my free pastry rewards at this Paris Baguette? So first things first, be aware that this Paris Baguette is actually inside Hannam Chain Supermarket at Village Del Amo on the southwest corner of Torrance and Hawthorne. I didn't know it at the time, so I circumnavigated the plaza, looking for Paris Baguette signage like I usually do for the other standalone locations. After stopping my car somewhere in the plaza, I had to double-check the location to be inside the Hannam Chain Supermarket, which I had just literally passed by minutes ago. D'oh! lol I hadn't even heard of Hannam Chain Supermarket, so I took some time to explore the store even though Paris Baguette is literally closest to the entrance. The overall selection of baked goods kind of disappointed me because it felt like there were fewer choices of pastries here compared to the other locations I've been to before. However, oddly enough, they had more selections available! I think it's because they have time stamps listed on each pastry so that the pastries are inside the display case for no more than 4 hours. I thought the pastries would have remained good at least until the end of the day, so to hear of their 4 hour shelf life was a bit surprising to me. For the record, I've been to several other Paris Baguettes before, but this was the first time I noticed these time stamps. Even though the variety of pastries was not as much compared to the other standalone locations, I still had a difficult time deciding which pastry to get! However, I noticed a new flavor of a supreme croissant I hadn't seen before: pink velvet. I've heard of red velvet, but not pink, and presuming that this is a seasonal offering for Valentine's Day, I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to try one before that special day. They had other supreme croissant flavors like chocolate and salted caramel pretzel, but I'm sure those flavors will be offered for much longer than the pink velvet. I do remember trying a strawberry supreme croissant from the Cerritos location, so perhaps after Valentine's Day, that would take the place of the pink velvet. After grabbing one of two Pink Velvet Supreme Croissants left in the display case, I made my way around and to the register. Phone in hand, I had the Paris Baguette app pulled up to redeem my reward. Actually, a good part of me had thought that this location inside Hannam Chain wouldn't honor my reward because for Tous Les Jours, the locations inside Hmart wouldn't be eligible for earning points or redeeming rewards. Luckily, Paris Baguette is not Tous Les Jours, and I was able to redeem my reward with no trouble. The cashier who rang me up was pretty friendly as well. She placed my Pink Velvet Supreme Croissant in a small paper bag and wished me a good day. While there are a handful of tables inside the food hall portion of Hannam Chain, most were occupied by customers of other eateries, so I simply went outside to enjoy my free sweet treat. The pink velvet ruby chocolate that covered the top portion of the round croissant didn't have nearly as much flavor, though the Valentine's sprinkles on top did make for a nice touch at least. Also, the custard cream inside didn't taste like anything at all! It wasn't bad, but it makes me wonder how much more flavorful the salted caramel pretzel would have been. I'll be sure to get that on my next visit to a Paris Baguette! I got the croissant about 2.5 hours after they were prepared, so maybe they would have tasted better had I gone 2 hours earlier? Lastly, I'm kind of shocked that this is pretty much the only Paris Baguette location in the South Bay. With how expansive a city like Torrance is, you would think they'd have at least a second location elsewhere like in Hmart. Otherwise, the next closest location would be in Long Beach, which literally just opened at The Pike Outlets. Overall, it's not a bad Paris Baguette to go to, but if you live in the South Bay, you'd be better off downloading the 85C Bakery app over the Paris Baguette app as there are much more 85C locations in the area. Also, this Paris Baguette may not necessarily carry your favorite pastries here, so heed caution if you plan to go out of your way to visit this patisserie.

They close at 8:30 and I came in 2 hours before. The pastries leftover were scooched over and the labels did not match entirely what they were. It was difficult to know what I was picking up onto the tray. There was also a small fruit fly or gnat flying around inside the bakery case as well. The icing of the orange donut thing also got stuck to the box and we had to scrape it off... Out of 4 pastries none of them were really that good, it really made me not want to come back. I also ordered a plain iced coffee and the coffee quality is not good at all. Tastes like it was made from a Mr coffee machine at home. Service was friendly. She explained each pastry when we asked what we picked up. Small location inside the market. Parking in the plaza. Restrooms are located within the building.

However, the very first bite tasted sour. When we smelled it more closely, there was a strong spoiled, sour odor. It completely ruined the mood of the celebration, so I decided to leave this review to make the owner aware of the issue. Was there a problem with the refrigerator temperature? Did the taro filling spoil because of the hot weather? Or had the white cream gone bad? This was extremely disappointing. I sincerely hope the management takes this matter seriously and thoroughly checks the storage conditions, ingredients, and freshness of the cakes.

There is a variety of different items that go from sweet tastes to savory. You could also choose one of the cakes that are on the glass display; an assortment of diverse cake options, with fruit toppings and delightful deserts like Tiramisu and Pudding. The staff are chill. When you place your tray at the front desk, the pay goes smoothly. Ambiance is cozy, it feels nice to walk around these yummy deserts and see the options. I picked up the hot dog and brioche, which I will describe below. Cleanliness is top-notch, never had a complaint about dirty spots. The displays are cleaned to perfection, absolutely spot-less. Hot Dog The hot dog is spicy and sweet mixed into a savory bread. The crust is so soft with crispy edges. That bread made me so full the entire day. If you want a little savory snack that will fill you up, this sure does it well! The hot dog meat was fresh and loved the garnish as well. Brioche I always get this bread when I visit the bakery. So freshly prepared as always. Love how soft and delicious it tastes. I seriously need to know how they make this because the bread is a good option if you are craving sweet bread but also not too overpowering. Thank you 85°c Bakery for the delicious treats!

The savory items hit that perfect "simple but satisfying" craving of sweets, the kind of food that makes you nod quietly to yourself like you've just solved a math equation. Their chocolate croissants look like they were assembled with good intentions. And don't get me started on the strawberry shortcake it's like a sweet hug from the universe. "I love sweets and sweets love me." The staff here has the energy of people who genuinely want you to have a good day. They greet you with that gentle Japanese warmth that makes you feel like you are special. They're quick, kind, and patient, even when you're standing there debating between five pastries like it's a life‑altering decision. No rush, no attitude, just good vibes and good bread. This is where Hamadaya really flexes. The pastry case looks like a lineup of contestants in a beauty pageant, every single item is photogenic, symmetrical, and whispering "pick me." The textures are on point: soft, airy breads, crisp cookie crusts, and fillings that scream taste me. It's the kind of bakery where you walk in planning to buy one thing and walk out with a bag that makes you question your self‑control. Honestly, if carbs are a sin, it's time to head back to the gym. I will definitely be returning to try more of their specialty baked goods. Miguel C.
