Hamada-ya Bakery - Torrance

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.

Terrible experience. I paid €12.93 for a hard piece of bread that was as tough as a concha and some mango. The bread wasn't fresh or tasty. The mango was good, but I really don't feel like it was worth the price I paid.

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!

I had the matcha tiramisu served in a cup, along with matcha melon bread. Wow, the matcha tiramisu was amazing! It had layers of cake, cream, and matcha jelly that were beautifully arranged. I absolutely loved it! It wasn’t overly sweet, and I really appreciated the slight bitterness from the matcha. The melon bread was okay, but the matcha filling was fantastic.

Went to the mall to just walk around and window shop with my coworker. She really wanted some bread, so we stopped by here since we've been there before. When we went inside, there was nobody else but us and the cashier. Quick and easy, but more people got in line after us. I got the cream pan and croissant bun type of thing. The cream pan was good. Not amazing or anything. Bread was nice and soft. Bread was mainly hollow inside, and cream wasn't creamy and didn't have a thick layer. Just enough to wet your whistle. I thought it was the perfect sweetness or lack of sweetness . 3.75 5 The croissant bun was really tasty. I warmed it up at home, and it was even better. Flaky like a croissant but the flakes weren't horizontal. They were vertical and went in a circle. I'd definitely get this again but warm it up or put it in the air fryer for a crispy texture. 4.25 5 I'd recommend. She got a lot more stuff to take home
