    Matcha soft serve
    Amy B.

    This authentic Japanese bakery inside the Mitsuwa Marketplace in Irvine features a lot of delicious desserts like pastry cream filled things, a Japan-esque custard pudding, a variety of freshly baked loaves including sandwich bread, soft serve including a real matcha soft serve, an top-quality iced coffee jelly drink, and the usual items like cookies, muffins, pastries with Bavarian cream, and sometimes even a yakisoba-filled roll, all for super reasonable prices. There's only one person working at any given time, but they are efficient and do their best to be pleasant and courteous. The vibe is very clean, organized, well-maintained, and honestly presents very invitingly for people who know and love the quality of authentic Japanese bakery goods. So happy to live near Hamada-ya in Irvine!

    Hamadaya Bakery is an absolute godsend when it comes to their Coffee Milk Jelly. It is currently my top favorite drink of all time. If you love coffee, definitely give this a try - it just tastes more refreshing than your average Starbucks drink. Also, be sure to try their fresh bread as well - it's the bomb! The staff is generally kind and accommodating here and I always try to stop by whenever I'm at this plaza. Love Hamadaya!!!

    katsu sando and egg salad sando

    This is a great bakery tucked into the Mitsuwa Marketplace. It has a wide selection of Japanese inspired goods, and they are all delicious. I came here just to try the Coffee Jelly Milk (delicious), but ended up being intrigued by their display case of pastries. I ordered a wide variety of goods and found them all to be very yummy. I do recommend stopping here for a quick lunch because they have a great selection of Japanese sandwiches served on milk bread. I got the combo with the katsu and the egg salad, but the egg salad was definitely my favorite. I would highly highly recommend their coffee jelly milk as well. I can't wait to  come back to try more!

    Matcha soft serve with mochi and almond

    One of my favorite items here is the matcha soft serve. It is flavorful and I like the toppings like kinako, mochi, and almond. It is big and I usually can't finish it all, but it makes me happy. I also enjoy the chocolate donut and the custard pudding from the case. Shopping center parking. Food court seating available. Please come and create your own adventure.

    This is my go to place for whenever i'm craving soft serve. The ice cream is creamy and even has golden grahams cereal at the bottom for a nice crunch! Our ice cream was not too sweet and had just the perfect amount of sweetness to it. Our server was super sweet :)

    Great option for grabbing tasteful bakery and affordable drink. Place is located inside Mutsuwa Supermarket, within the food court area precisely. Friendly staff and definitely recommended all the bread option. Please pay attention to some post menu by cashier coz they display there in addition to the menu on the wall.

    Matcha/vanilla soft serve
    Huevi L.

    I LOVE this place!!! Such an underrated little bakery inside mitsuwa marketplace!! They have so many drink options, pastries, fresh breads, and savory breads. All of their desserts and pastries are the perfect sweetness, not too sweet! - boston cream donut: 9.6/10. My go-to pastry. Sadly, it's always sold out as they have a very limited amount of everything. I love how it has a dark chocolate shell that is crunchy with a sweet, custard filling. - matcha soft serve: 8.8/10. One of the best matcha ice creams/soft serves I have ever had. The matcha flavor is very strong and it comes with cereal on the bottom (freeeeee!) Crunchy and creamy goodness ! You can also add mochi, kinako powder, and kuromitsu (my recommended toppings). Other items I would recommend are their fresh breads, specifically the boloniya, coffee jelly drink, cream cornet, and kinako milk tea.

    Stopped by Hamadaya Bakery and decided to try the vanilla soft serve. It ended up being one of the better soft serves I've had in a while. The texture was smooth and creamy without being overly rich, and the vanilla flavor was clean and noticeable without tasting artificial or overly sweet. It had a balanced finish that made it easy to enjoy to the last bite. Service was calm and polite. The staff moved efficiently and handled the steady stream of customers with ease. My order was taken and prepared quickly, and the presentation was clean and simple. The bakery itself is minimal and inviting, with neatly arranged shelves and a bright, open layout. It's not a large space, but it feels thoughtfully designed and well maintained. You can grab something quickly or stay for a bit without feeling rushed. Hamadaya clearly focuses on quality in both its presentation and products. The vanilla soft serve may seem like a simple order, but here it's done with care and precision. I'd come back to explore more of their offerings.

    Coffee jelly milk
    Minji W.

    This is a small bakery inside of mitsuwa! It looks a little old, but they have yummy dessert! I just got back from Japan and this bakery's coffee jelly met my standards! It was delicious

    Coffee Jelly Milk--no mixing necessary, just drink it as is.
    David B.

    A necessary respite from the prototypical boba dessert shop you'd encounter in SoCal. I had started to wane tired of the usual tea and milk combo, and stumbled upon this shop that I probably passed a thousand or more times when shopping in Mitsuwa. I really thought the variety of drinks and small bites here were inspiring--and so I had to try the Coffee Jelly Milk, which I found to be probably the best thing I've consumed in the last week. The cashier was very particular about what drinks can be modified, and which can't, so keep in that mind if you have specific requirements, this might not be the place. I ordered the jelly with my request being the least amount of syrup/sugar added, and it came out perfect. She was allowing limited modifications to the jelly drinks, and the iced matcha one but I believe that's all. In an age where neon lit boba shops and overly gimmicky toppings seem to take center stage, we sometimes forget that the most basic tried and true desserts out of Japan are just plain delicious. I will be back to try the infamous matcha soft serve.

    We were craving matcha soft‑serve, so we popped into the food court in Mitsuwa Supermarket to grab a snack. They offer soft serve, drinks, and a selection of baked goods. The soft serve is a good portion for $5, and you can choose vanilla, matcha, or a swirl of both. We also tried the hojicha donut--it was delicious, filled generously with hojicha cream. So glad we stopped by.

What I've tried so far over…read moremultiple visits: - Everything Salt & Butter Roll 5/5 - prefer this one to the original salt roll since the seasoning adds a little more flavor - Cookie Salt & Butter Roll 4/5 - great if you want one with a touch of sweetness - Mentai Salt & Butter Roll 3/5 - personally not a huge fan of mentai since I find it a little too fishy - Spicy Curry Pan 5/5 - SOOOO GOOD highly recommend this! It is a little spicier than expected. I also want to try the regular Curry Pan - Oyaki Pork Shumai 4/5 - good and tastes like shumai but not a standout for me to get again - Fish Filet Panini 5/5 - surprisingly SO GOOD! The employee recommended it and I was hesitant but it ended up being one of my favorites. Kinda like the McDonalds fish filet sandwich with the tartar sauce but obviously better - Japanini 4/5 - solid, nice basil pesto tomato combo but not a standout for me to get again - Banana Matcha latte 4/5 - solid but personally prefer the one at Kei cafe more TLDR: favorites are Everything Salt & Butter Roll, Spicy Curry Pan, and Fish Filet Panini

The emoji breads tempted us with their cuteness, but we were very curious about the Oyaki Mentai Caviar's combination of spicy cod roe and mochi. To be safe, we also got the Mentai Salt & Butter Roll. While we liked the Roll and its crunchy outside/soft inside, we actually loved the Oyaki. The mochi isn't sweet at all, just nicely chewy. Plus, whereas the Roll only had a little bit of spicy cod roe inside, the Oyaki was packed! I say this a lot, but truly, everything looked good. I hope to come back and try their Paninis and Danishes. If they're anything like the Oyaki, they'll be distinct, delicious, and downright delightful.

Only recently was I able to visit and try their croffles and other sweets. Did NOT know that this was inside the H Mart food court in Diamond Jamboree. Parking is horrendous and the driving there is horrendous as well. Probably the easiest and least horrifying option just to automatically default to is to just park in the overflow lot right next to the plaza. There's no indicator for the parking garage so on a particularly busy day, you can head all the way to the top, find nothing and navigate through the hell crowds trying to leave. Ambiance is a very casual, counter order business in the food court. There's seating there, but we ate really close by. Definitely something you have to eat immediately or the texture will not be optimal or it might get soggy. We got the tiramisu croffle and they toasted it and put it together for us there. The lady working there packed it up nicely in a to go box and we got some cookies (regular ones and almond crisp ones). It's a bit sweet, but they're dessert pastries so that makes sense. Goes great with a brewed cup of tea. Croffle had a nice semi-chewy texture and the tiramisu flavor added a bit of a coffee taste to it. Good balance of the cream and croffle. The cookie wasn't too bad either. Overall not a bad to go dessert spot.

The pistachio was rich, creamy, and really well balanced. The Italian chocolate was deeply chocolatey, exactly how I like it, and I finished the whole thing in one sitting. The rose flavor is definitely for people who truly enjoy rose desserts. The strawberry was the only one that did not fully match my expectations from a high end bakery. The tiramisu was decent, more cream-forward and lighter on the coffee flavor than I expected. Overall, these pastries are definitely on the sweeter, cream-based side, and honestly, that is exactly what made them so good to me. I do not want desserts to be less sweet, I want them to feel indulgent and perfect, and these did. I will absolutely keep going back, especially for the lavender, chocolate, and pistachio pastries.
