“fresh croissants are so good, I always come back for more! 🤩😋“

“Chikara Mochi is a childhood favorite store. The mochi is so beautiful! With so much attention to detail it’s hard to eat lol. Moreover, the service is always fantastic when I go there. The way they welcome the customers feels so wonderful in comparison to other long-standing mochi shops (like Fugetsu Do; where sadly, service pales in comparison). Chikara Mochi highly recommended!“

“I order my bday cake from here every year..Yellow cake, fresh strawberries and butter cream icing. The cake is always moist. My guests and family love and rave about it. Before u leave the cookies and pastries are phenomenal. My favorite is the maple pecan cookies, peanut butter cookies and the maple bars. Cant by get enough.“

“I love it 🍰🥰 so much I really recommended, it’s grate 🍰🍰🍰“

“As others have said, don’t let this inconspicuous shop fool you. These mochi have incredible flavor and texture, and while they are a few dollars a piece, I think hand crafted sweets deserve a little support, no?

The person that helped me was friendly and explained the various flavors so I could fill a 10pc box with a variety. My favorites were the pink mochi and imo manju. Bring cash!“

“Pretty late knowing this place, but so happy I could finally try it. Lots of bread and cake selections served, and I loved the fact that they had everything wrapped and looking fresh and clean.

Decent size for price, and the lady serving was so helpful answering all my questions before I could decide my order.

They didn’t have indoor sit-down space as people mostly got it for to-go, but there were few tables right in front of the bakery.

We got their peanut chocolate chip cookie, sweet potato rice cake, and curry pan. Loving everything we got and they’re all coming with super generous stuffing.“

“Absolutely loved this place! The Japanese sweets are authentic, beautifully made, and wonderfully high quality. I especially appreciate that they’re not overly sweet, which lets you really enjoy the delicate flavors. The portions are on the smaller side, but the quality and attention to detail make them well worth it. A lovely spot for anyone who enjoys refined Japanese-style sweets!“

“Kimberley made my daughters wedding cake and then drove it up to Ojai! The cake was beautiful and tasted amazing and she was a dream to work with! She is crazy talented, has a great team, a great story. Love her.“

“Omg now I know why its called sweeties omg everything is sooo good I just ended up getting 1 of everything and stocking up my fridge. Yah can't go wrong. And friendliest service in town. A great reason to support a local business. Owner takes great pride in her work and serving her customers with a smile“

“We’ve been coming to this Japanese-style pasta restaurant for over 30 years. The chefs are very dedicated to preparing delicious food. Even though we no longer live nearby, whenever we crave it, we still drive over to enjoy the same delicious flavors.“

“I've known about this place for almost 2 years, if not more, but finally decided to leave a review since I've been visiting very often these past months. Since my first visit, there's been many competitors opening around Gardena, but I find myself drawn back to this place because of the balance of spaciousness (there's actually places to sit whenever I go!), quality of products (the espresso shot is pretty strong and they have many beans to choose from), and best of all, price of their drinks (specifically the specialties). While I wouldn't say the prices are a bargain, it feels more reasonable than other local competitors.

One thing I do miss is that 2 years ago, the pastries weren't individually wrapped. We used to have the option of selecting pastries with tongs, the typical experience you'd get when going to a bakery in Japan. Hopefully they would bring that experience back again! Until then, I'll keep returning for their quality drinks!“

“I love buying custom cakes frm Maggy. She is always very detailed, easy to talk to and makes the best cakes. Everyone loves them,she did my daughters birthday cake and I called her last minute. She went beyond my expectations for sure. She made another amazing cake which was yellow cake with Chocolate Ganache. As you can see we have enjoyed the cake. It was Inspired by the Holidays and she went above and beyond. Don’t hesitate to call her for your cake needs. She makes very delicious cakes, and they all are very unique.Thank you Maggy.“

“Located inside the smaller Tokyo Central on Main, this is one of those places that you want to gate keep to yourself because you don’t want this place going viral.

Hands down one of the best Japanese bakery in the greater Los Angeles area. Everything is made in house. The soft and fluffy texture is what makes their bread really special, and everything is super fresh.

My favorite is the curry croquette roll ($3.25), French toast ($2.75), mini cream puffs ($4.50), melon pan custard cream ($3.50), and fig walnuts bread loaf ($5.30). Everything is so good here, I always end up buying way more than what I intended to buy.

The cashier lady working is so kind and if she has any extra bread, she will throw in one for free with your purchase.

Make sure to bring your own bag as they will charge for a plastic bag.

Free parking in the shared open parking lot.

Highly recommend.“

“i have to say La Mousse has some of the best deserts I have ever had. My only problem is that I always eat too much because they taste so good.“

“Beard Papa makes delicious cream puffs. They have an assortment of shells and fillings which you can create delicious treats. These cream puffs stay firm, days after they’re filled and still delicious. These make terrific sweet treats, gifts or a simple dessert. Next time you’re thinking of buying a cake or pie, get a box of these instead, you’ll thank me. The store front counter is right in front if you, its always clean and the staff are very polite. This is inside a Japanese market, you can shop for groceries and other food stalls too. There is plenty of parking in the lot.“

“I came here to deliver 5 pallets of refrigerated yeast at LITTLE BROTHER BAKERY there are two companies here make sure you know which you delivering at FCFS from 7am to 12pm in a 53 ft trailer. I arrived at 5:30 am to park on the street and noticed the gate was open i drove in and went to the back at the dock door for refrigerated products at 6am some came out to ask what i had by 6:30am i was unloaded. they unloaded with a pallet jack driver is supposed to have his own. No bathroom that i know of but very nice people.“

“We were craving dessert after a late meal in Gardena area and found this via a quick Yelp Search.

This was my first time trying a Bingsoo so I had no idea what to expect. We went in and the place was really busy. They were sold out on all Tiramisus and a lot of flavors . We got the Strawberry Bingsoo and it was great.

Amazingly thin and soft layer of shaved ice with strawberries. This is one of the best desserts I've had. Absolutely Loved it.

I will be checking out more Bingsoo spots now. Its my new favorite dessert !!“

“Authentic Japanese mochi works of art!“

“The Chili and Cornbread was delicious. Chili was a nice mix of Meat and Beans, just right on the seasoning.

The Chicken Pot Pie was perfect, really nice thick crust and pie filling wasn't soupy like the way a lot of restaurants serve it.

Service was excellent.“

“Love conchitas everything is so delicious 😋“

“Best pan dulce all around! Haven't found a panaderia this good and I just moved to the IE. When we go back to Gardena to visit family this is my last stop before heading home. Although the pan is delicious the customer service is terrible.“

“They have a good ice cream 🍦“
