I finally got the chance to checked out this matcha soft serve spot that's tucked inside Mitsuwa's…read morefood court. Since I wanted more of a chill experience, I came on a weekday around 4pm. I highly recommend if you're not into crowds. There was only one person ahead of me and ordering was super easy through the kiosk. I went with the matcha and the hokkaido milk swirl on a cone. First bite, I tried the milk side on its own, and I loved how light it was. Not overly sweet. Then I tried the matcha by itself. It tasted earthy and had that matcha flavor. When I combined the swirl together , the matcha definitely took the spotlight. It kind of overpowered the milk swirl but I didn't mind it because I'm a matcha lover. It still balanced out nicely. Just more on the earthy matcha side. Oh, and let's not forget about the waffle cone. It was perfectly crunchy and tasted so good with my soft served. Also, shoutout to the employee who handed me my order. He was super friendly, welcoming, and all smiles which always makes the experience better.

When it looks nothing close to the advertising photo, it's just plain depressing and unacceptable. The mochi balls were just plain white and not even flavored at all.

Their wagyu curry pan is perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Their drinks are also something you shouldn't miss out on. Their kinako hot drink, hojicha latte and matcha drinks are perfect for a mid day pick me up. They also have ice cream soft serve which is nice and a great treat on a warm day. I often buy their sliced bread as well and prefer their bread to other places.

I like getting the plain vanilla one, and it also comes with a little cereal at the bottom that gives it a good crunch. The coffee jelly milk is also great, it feels similar to a boba drink but it's a lot cheaper. Whenever I come here it's always the same lady who I'm sure is tired of seeing me lol, but she is so sweet and kind and patient when I have trouble deciding what to pick here! As for the pastries/desserts, the custard pudding cup deserves more love! I'm not sure if it's housemade here, but if you've ever been to Japan, it tastes exactly like the ones you buy from the konbini! I remember I would buy one almost every day of my trip, so I've grown cravings for it that Hamadaya satisfies in OC. The bavarian chocolate cream is a fun decadent pastry if you're into chocolate- comes with so many chocolate chips. The cheese bread is also a go-to for me if I'm in a savory mood- it's exactly what it sounds like, cheese and bread but who doesn't love those two things? Egg katsu sandwich is good if you're looking for something more substantial. The strawberry shortcake I've tried here was also good, but I did pick it up near their closing so it felt a little dried out. Definitely would recommend coming here earlier in the day for fresher and better selection of pastries!

The…read moreplace is filled with adorable little details and toys, which makes it feel more like a fun hangout than just a dessert shop. We tried the mango sago dessert and the double skin milk with fresh fruit--both were super fresh, not overly sweet, and had that comforting homemade texture. The mango was ripe and fragrant, and the milk pudding was silky and smooth. Drinks were also a nice surprise, especially the creamy ones like avocado milk. Rich but still easy to drink, not heavy or artificial tasting. Service was friendly and patient, even when it got a bit busy. Everything came out quickly and nicely presented. Overall, a great spot if you're craving traditional-style Chinese desserts with a modern, cute twist. Perfect for a casual sweet treat or a chill afternoon stop.

Counter service and kiosk ordering is available. Heard mixed things from friends who come here often (quality can be hit or miss), so keeping expectations in check. But this dessert was solid: pandan jelly, mango, and sticky rice all had a really nice chew to them, and the coconut milk on top kept everything light instead of heavy. Not overly sweet at all, which made it perfect after a meal nearby. Will be back to see if the rest of the menu holds up the same way.

Good? Of course! Was it worth it? No way!!…read more Japanese breads are known to be fluffy and moist. You definitely get it with these breads. However, there are so many Japanese breads out there. Fresh baked breads from actual bakeries. For $20, I got 3 mini loafs of the strawberry guava. The pink color was beautiful. I m not sure if it was actual natural fruit color, but I doubt it. The jam that was added was good. A little too much, imo. The outer part of the loaf was a bit rough. My mom thought it was an old bread. I do feel that the salted butter loafs were more fresh. It was a lot softer. Also, there were four mini loafs of the salted butter for $17. These breads are definitely better warmed/toasted with some butter. It was nice to try. A one time thing... Ordering process was easier than picking up process. The email said to go to the counter for the stuff. Once at the counter, the sign said no staffs avail and to retrieve the order on your own...gotta go to the tablet and follow the instructions to open the locker to get your stuff.

Ginza Nishikawa is a renowned bakery famous for its shokupan (bread); its main store is located in…read moreGinza, near Tokyo Station in Japan. And the U.S. branch is located in Santa Ana, California. When I arrived after searching for the Santa Ana branch on Google, I initially thought I had come to the wrong place because there was no Ginza Nishikawa signage on the building. As it turned out, the building featured a sign reading "South Coast Take Out," and the facility housed a shared kitchen utilized by several restaurants--including Ginza Nishikawa--operating exclusively for takeout orders. I had actually come with the expectation of watching the bread-making process and selecting my bread while savoring the savory aroma of fresh baking in the shop; however, upon arrival, I found--contrary to my expectations--only an ordering kiosk and a set of numbered lockers for order pickup. Although I was disappointed by the absence of a traditional bakery storefront, the Ginza Nishikawa bread I enjoyed after returning home proved to be the most delicious bread I have ever tasted. I definitely plan to visit the Main Store in Ginza the next time I travel to Tokyo. The bread is a true work of art! It's expensive, but absolutely delicious!

I've ordered 3 cakes from Baked by Maron and they all come in one way - supremely delicious! Just like their eclairs, each cake is a work of art, beautiful both inside and out. You can tell they take pride in what they do, even the packaging shows so much care and attention to detail. My personal fave is the Lychee Raspberry Rose cake with mirror glaze. The floral, tart and sweet flavors are perfectly balanced in every bite. I ordered it for my niece's birthday and it was the talk of the night! Oreo cake was also superb (hubby's fav). Rona the owner is such a sweetheart, friendly and very accommodating. Highly recommend if you're in the OC area and looking for something stunning and delicious - or just something to brighten up your day.
