Their pastries and breads here are very consistent. Was excited to try the new milk tea and matcha tiramisu in a cup. The milk tea is made with a mix of fresh whole milk and evaporated milk. Perfect to me since I prefer fresh milk to creamer. But the tea flavor wasn't very assertive and tasted like some coffee grounds were still stuck in the brewer that was used to make the tea. Otherwise just enough sweetness to cover the tea's astringency. The matcha tiramisu was a generous portion and beautifully presented, can't wait to try it. read more

The filling of their Wagyu curry donut is yummy, but the outside dough is unnecessary greasy. We love their Melon Matcha Pan. Half of the outside is dipped in white chocolate matcha, but it's not too sweet. Their matcha filling is thick and cream is heavily infused with tea. Their matcha tiramisu cups are yummy, but you must eat them ASAP because they get soggy in a bad way on the trip home. I like that they offer different items than the Hamadaya in Costa Mesa. It makes the trek out here worth it. Service is fast. The place is small and packed. There no time to really debate what you want. You must order quickly and edit because the next guest is breathing on you. read more

Great service and very friendly and the bread here is amazing definitely will come back for some coffee and bread on my lunch

This is my final stop in the Mitsuwa marketplace I just had a try their pastries. I ordered the strawberry danish and they're famous pudding unfortunately for me they weren't hitting the spot. The strawberry danish flavor wise I thought was pretty good but the downfall of this pastry is that danish wasn't fresh. They keep the Danish any refrigerated area which for me affects it. I think in the Danish would be fresh flaky and fluffy the danish would've almost been perfect but unfortunately it wasn't. But aside from that the flavors were pretty good and the strawberries were fresh. No the famous pretty for me just didn't cut it. I don't know if it was just a bad day but for me the pudding had zero flavor. The presentation looks pretty good but unfortunately the flavor just wasn't there. read more

Food is good. Service is decent. Depends on who is actually working at the time you visit... there's a girl who's willing to help you and actually SELL and then there's a guy there who doesn't seem to enjoy talking and will not go out of his way to have a bread sliced for you without you kindly pushing him to do so letting him know that the people at the back don't mind doing it . He pleasant.. just not as seemingly helpful as the lady I met the first time. Place is clean. Their bread is so good that the chances of the breads being sold-out for the days by noon is almost 100% so make sure you do buy your breads early. As for price, it's mid range. They can come across as pricey for a single bag of Bologna bread. It's super good though! So I believe it's worth. read more

Japanese bakery located inside Mitsuwa building. You can either purchase items inside this bakery area or check out with the rest of groceries inside Mitsuwa. Note they don't accept Amex at Hamadaya. They were still setting items up at the time we went there in the afternoon but their curry donut and chocolate melon pan were delicious! We also got thinly sliced sandwich bread. It is a bit pricier than regular American sandwich bread but I'm hoping it tastes good... The drink menu looked tempting especially in the heatwave but it will have to wait for the next time. If you are there, check out their coffee jelly drink! Parking is easy as there are plenty in front of Mitsuwa. There are more as it is near Del Amo mall. read more

The Brown-sugar boba is decent...although the boba itself could use some sweetness. We also tried the Pork buns (which for Filipinos is basically siopao) which were tasty (but not the best I've had). The Youngest wanted to try the "curry donut" which was a croissant -type bread filled with curry flavored insides--pretty much what he expected. They will warm it up for you upon request. The servers are friendly and helpful. read more

I really like this lil bakery for their cakes in a cup. I chose tiramisu and it was delicious. I especially love the coffee jelly that's in it. It's not sweet and it gives it a nice textural contrast to the cake and cream. These are my fave items from this bakery. read more

Got the boba milk tea. It was the worst milk tea I've ever had. Didn't taste any tea and it was mostly milk. Super tasteless. Everything looked great but hard pass on milk tea if you want to get it. Super disappointed. :( read more

I saw on Saturday that this place was super busy so I thought I'd step inside and see what they offered. They had typical Japanese bakery goodies such as melon pan, curry pan, strawberry croissant and more. I walked up to the register with a cream pan in hand but I immediately put it back when I saw the cream cornet. It satisfied my sweets craving perfectly and it was stuffed full with cream. The pastry was still flaky and I loved that it was served cold. I will definitely come back to try out the other ones! read more

Solid Japanese bakery. I usually come in and get a few things - whatever looks good that day - anytime I'm shopping at Mitsuwa. The savory curry buns are a particular favorite. read more

Cake was smashed because of the small container they used...This was supposed to be a gift. The young boy working there definitely needs to be trained. read more

This is one of the most underrated places I've been to. Asian bakeries generally are always really good about making really light desserts that aren't overly sweet. However, this bakery in particular surpassed those standards - their strawberry cake in a cup is the perfect balance between the fresh strawberries, a sweet jelly, moist cake and a light whipped cream. But their pudding is hands down one of the best things I've had for such a great price. It's perfectly smooth and just the right amount of sweetness. read more

Maybe I had higher expectations on Japanese pastries. Yes these pastries were yummy but I think it's overpriced their pastries compare with Korean bakery. I also ordered boba and boba itself was great but the tea taste too weak. I'm a Japanese and I had way better quality of pastries before. I would pay less and about the same level of tastiness for 85 degree bakery. read more

I made a trip back recently to Mitsuwa to grab some things from this bakery. This time I ordered a bag of white bread, a wagyu curry donut, a strawberry croissant, and a Boston cream donut. I love using their white bread to make homemade tamago sando. I'm glad that they brought back the panko crumbs or whatever bread crumbs they use for their wagyu curry donut because I really didn't like the cornflakes from last time. Their Boston Cream donut is still consistent and delicious, and their strawberry croissant was light and not too sweet. Can't wait to grab my favorite items (or even new ones) next time! read more

the most terrible mango I have ever had. It has a texture like ginger, and it's flavorless. It doesn't taste like mango at all! I can't believe I paid 7+$ for this crap. read more

The service there is horrible. I bought a cheese cake but the person served dropped so I ask to change the cake without no damage. She was so unhappy. There was also 1 item missing from the order I had paid. We said thank you twice but those were ignored. No customer service, no greeting, no omotenashi. read more

Hamada ya bakery showed up at the 626 night market and presented a beef gyu Katsu sandwich. The flavor of this sandwich is amazing! The meat is high quality beef and has the perfect garlic sauce that will drive your taste buds wild! I hope you make this a permanent addition to your regular menu. read more

Great breads and pastries varities. Good food quality. Friendly service. Nice outdoor dining set up to have coffee or breakfast.

Aesthetics-wise, the place was neat and clean. Cashier was prompt. I bought the ham pastry and it was good, albeit a little oily. The curry bun was ok as well read more

The taste is really good the bread is classic japanese bakery bread, however the sandwich is ordered, completely sealed- had a fly in it it was so disgusting which is why i refuse to eat here read more

Love cream bun and raisin bread. Never try coffee or tea yet but will try next time. Been there a lot and bakery here not too sweet. Love japanese bakery. read more

Good pastry and bakery items. It's the closest you'll get to Japanese baked goods around here. So I appreciate that since every once in a while I really want to taste a hit of home. The bacon epi is my all time favorite along with the butter shokupan. Great service and great pastry/snacks. read more

I used to frequent this place while they were still at the old Mitsuda location. All their products were fresh and the price was reasonable. However, price has gone up so much at this new location that it's no longer reasonable IMO. I understand that expenses have gone up but how do other good Asian bakeries in the area survive then? Unfortunately the quality no longer justify the price anymore. read more

My recs: Their coffee jelly milk is a fan favorite! Not too sweet or too bland! Frozen Lemonade Melon Pan with cream (there's matcha vs plain). I prefer the plain version. I like the Matcha Latte here, more reasonably priced compared to the specialized matcha store across from them. However, I'm not picky about my matcha. It comes sweetened so if you don't like it sweetened let them know! read more

On their baked good fridge the prices were written and 3 employees were working. A Boston cream was 2.95 but was charged 4 dollars each. I showed them the price and they said it's the price on the screen. Their mistake but couldn't even honor what they wrote. read more

My son and I stopped by on Sunday morning and ordered the wagyu beef curry croquette and pork tonkatsu sandwich and we have been having fevers, chills, and non stop bathroom visits since Sunday morning. My son hasn't gone to school this whole week and even had an accident in the car while going to urgent care. I am now just having fevers and grumbling stomach all day long for the past week. Never again will I eat at this location. read more

This bakery is located inside Mitsuwa marketplace and so far it's great. I got the green tea melon pan and pudding and both items were delicious. The melon pan has a thick whipped green and is half dipped in green tea chocolate. The bread is super chewy and a little on the sweet side. Its basically a cream sandwich for only 2.80. The pudding is some of the best ive ever had. It's suuuper creamy smooth and only 3 bucks. I can't wait to try their other items. read more

Service was okay white girl ignored me cause ima. Colored asian girl . And ambiance look like a regular bakery which was cute overall needs to work quality on their food better ! read more

I'm a Fan of this little bakery...anytime I'm craving a pastry I try to go there. Love their Cream cornets, and their bread. Practically any of their bread, especially their sandwich bread:fluffy and hearty at the same time. The wheat bread, is great for sandwiches, and their Bolonyia Bread Is so Great for French Toast Everyone has a "weakness" mine is this Bakery‍. Plus, you can go shopping for some items in Mitsuwa, and grab a bite to eat at one of the restaurants, and have More sugar at Moro Doughnut! read more

Best sandwiches around, made with their delicious breads. Their loafs of Raisin Bread is delicious.

Came here on a lovely Saturday and buying the curry bread made me very sad. The filling was lacking in weight and in flavor. Skip the curry bread. Others might be better. Muffins are said to be awesome though. Will report back. Wait for me. read more

I've been coming here for years even when they used to be located on Western, and the breads are so good! Lately, I've been eyeing the chocolate cake, which is a fairly new addition to the bakery. For my brother's birthday, I finally just ordered a whole cake for $46. In retrospect, perhaps I should have bought a small piece to try first because the cake was dry, and I mean so dry that my nephew asked if I had milk. It was truly dry. I couldn't even finish the cake unless I washed it down with something. Not sure if this is typical of a cake. read more

Service here is awful 10/10 times. I would keep coming back because of the strawberry cheese cake danish which was amazing but even the quality has diminished. You can tell the workers don't like making the matcha milkshake they once made me wait over an hour with the buzzer because they "forgot" when they do remember to make it they don't even follow their own recipe. The ice cream they use for the milkshakes tastes like freezer burn and even makes the drink oily. At first I thought I kept getting a bad batch but it's never right. For matcha save yourself the $9 and walk a minute to the matcha place next to it. I've had stale melon pan from here on many occasions as well. I've been here so many times out of convenience but never is it actually good. The manager seems to have the best attitude out of everyone there cause the rest are absolutely awful. Really wanted to like this place since it's hours are convenient but the service and quality just aren't it. read more

It's all about the cream cornets! One of the most amazing treats I've ever had. Best described as a flakey croissant with powdered sugar filled with vanilla custard. The whole family loves them. read more

So far I've tried two desserts and can't seem to try any others because I'm obsessed. One is the butter something...but it's like a donut and a pastery and the other one is like a cookie filled with custard. I like the plain vanilla one. Wow, I've never tasted anything like it before. They also sell premade bread loafs and pastery. read more
