    Iced Cappuccino and Uji Matcha Latte
    Gubaa M.

    This skillet French toast is literally one of the best I've had so far. I haven't had it in Japan so I honestly can't tell if it's similar, subpar, or better than the one in Japan but definitely one of the best in my opinion. Matcha latte and iced cappuccino were good too. Service and ambience were great.

    I really really wanted to love this place since the location is cute and the employees are so sweet but the drinks were truly disappointing... however, they are known for their breads and pastries so if you do stop by, I recommend sticking to their baked goods or getting an espresso instead of their matchas or hojichas!

    Their best item is the curry cube bread. Big chunks of beef inside with some traditional curry sauce. Very savory and tasty even at home after toasting it in the air fryer. The bacon version didn't have enough bacon and was a little boring with nothing inside after eating the curry version. The melon pan was best fresh. The earl grey was a little too subtle. Fig focaccia would have been better if the bread was softer. It was a little tough to eat. The Americano was excellent because of how strong it was. Some inside and outdoor seating. Parking on the street and behind the restaurant. Very nice location for brunch or lunch.

    Tiramisu latte
    Danni Y.

    Highlights: the honey toast was definitely delicious, crispy caramelized edges and soft chewy bread. Grab and go for this alone, price point is okay at $5.6 for each cube. Their tiramisu latte was good as well but for $8 it didn't stand out enough to justify the price. Wouldn't get the margarita pizza bread again, it was a little soggy. The other issue is that they really need to hire more servers, definitely a little congested to pay and order and be prepared to wait for drinks/food. Theres a few tables inside and out. Located off the PCH in Redondo, you can find free parking along the street.

    Clam chowder
    Doreen T.

    This is a very cute café with great vibes and outdoor seating. There's a small parking lot in the back, plus street parking, though it's on a steep hill. I like that the front operates in a casual, self-serve style similar to Paris Baguette or 85°C, where you grab pastries with a tray and tongs. In the back, you can order drinks and entrees at the counter, and they'll bring everything out to your table. All of the staff were friendly, but I felt the pricing was a bit steep for what you get. A small hojicha latte was $8 and came out barely lukewarm. The clam chowder was also mostly potatoes and, again, not very hot. I'm someone who really prefers my food and drinks served hot, so that part was disappointing. That said, I did enjoy the soft bread bowl the chowder came in. My husband ordered the ginger pork sandwich, and once again, the highlight was the bread. Overall, if I were to return, I'd probably just grab pastries to go. The butter and red bean pastry caught my attention and I'd probably like to try next time.

    This is a nice counter service bakery with fresh breakfast brunch lunch menu meal items. The main disposition isn't about the quality of the food at all, it's quite delicious, but it's more of the value perception (or reality) of the the prices and portions, which quite honestly is a subjective perception or rather opinion. I feel the portions can increase by 1/3 more OR the prices can be lowered by 30% and that feels like a justified sweet spot for this place to thrive. The Japanese Curry in the Bread Loaf Bowl was good, but at $22, it felt quite expensive given the lack of robust substance to the entree that lacked a quantity of meat and vegetables to be appetite fulfilling. It came with a side salad and I felt the entree was worth more like $12 to $15 as being right priced. Parking is easy and it's in the less congested part of Redondo Beach on PCH along the "ABC alphabet avenues" area.

    I've been wanting to try Bread, Espresso & for awhile and happened to have the opportunity on a Saturday around lunch. There is plenty of parking in the back. The super cute spot has very helpful staff. We got a few pieces from the self serve section and ordered lattes and food from the counter. The bread is perfect and like a cloud. The lattes are not too sweet. We enjoyed the bread so much we went and got a loaf to go after lunch. Can't wait to go back.

    Updated review! Last time I came here was last year, a month or so after the grand opening. I stand by everything I said last year, and this review is based on my recent visit. Came here Sunday morning. There were couple people inside and not crowded. There were enough breads for everyone. It seems like they make small batches at a time and refill the shelves constantly. I got the Mou ($6.40), Mou edamame/bacon ($5.40), Mou matcha ($5.40), Mou chocolate ($5.40), and iced blueberry matcha latte ($8.90). i paid $40 for 4 bread and a drink (with tax and tip). Super pricey. The smaller Mou is 3" cube of bread. The edamame and bacon is my favorite. Bread is super soft and delicious. But wish there's more bacon and it wasn't crispy at all. Matcha Mou was very good but the chocolate Mou was just okay. The blueberry matcha was okay. The matcha powder was unsweetened and was light. Blueberry was insanely sweet. Not sure if I recommend the matcha drinks here, especially it's overpriced. I would definitely come back to get more Mou, and to try out their breakfast/lunch menu.

    Iced hojicha latte! A good drink for an after-coffee mid-morning
    Brandon F.

    Visited while looking for a place to get some work and morning reading done while in town. It all started with readily available parking in the nearby neighborhood. I had the iced hojicha latte, while others had other drinks and tried the mou. I don't really have a prior parallel to compare the bread to, but it seems like it is their specialty, and it served as a nice snack to go with the drink! Service was prompt and very polite, though there were only two other patrons when we were there. I imagine that it wouldn't be too different with more people around. The inside space is nice, especially with some counter seating with outlets AND wi-fi AND some of the most comfortable high chairs with backs that I've ever sat in at a coffee shop. We ended up sitting in the outdoor seating outside because it was a nice day, which was nice if you're OK with the sound of passing car traffic on PCH, and the wafts of the taco place across the street. FWIW, bathrooms are available and well cleaned.

    Mentaiko toast plate
    Nicole Diane M.

    Stopped by after a Pilates class nearby with a friend on a Saturday around 11:30 AM, and it was the perfect post-workout bite. Parking: The restaurant sits on a corner with a small parking lot behind the building, which is super convenient. There's also street parking in the surrounding neighborhood, though note it's on a fairly steep hill. Vibe / Interior: The space is intimate and thoughtfully laid out, split into three distinct areas: the kitchen and cashier up front, a small dine-in section with tables, and a self-serve bakery area where you grab a tray and tongs à la 85°C or Paris Baguette. I loved browsing the selection of baked goods, but what really caught my eye were the curated Japanese home goods -- especially the utensils and plates, which made the space feel elevated and very intentional. Good for: Quick grab-and-go, casual brunch, or even breakfast. They offer a great morning deal: $7.40 for a Croque Madame from 7:30-10 AM, which is honestly a steal for the quality and portion. What we ordered: * Croque Madame plate * Mentaiko toast plate Both plates came with a generously sized salad, which helped balance out the richness. Everything was solid and satisfying, though I'd probably add an extra side next time if I was extra hungry. Service: Truly lovely -- the staff was kind, upbeat, and welcoming. Orders were taken at the counter, and the food was brought directly to our table, which was appreciated. Overall: A charming neighborhood café with great vibes, friendly service, and fair pricing -- especially for breakfast. While the food didn't totally wow me, it's a spot I'd happily revisit for a casual meal or bakery run.

    I was excited to try this bakery's signature mou bread. They were smaller than I thought in person, but very filling! I went on a Sunday in the afternoon, so it seemed like the curry mou had sold out already? But I got to try two other ones, the mou is super fluffy even though it looks dense! Jalapeño cheese mou - 5/5, a classic flavor combo! Edamame bacon mou - 4/5, this was a really fun flavor combo. I wish there were more bacon folded in the bread but it was good! Chai - 3/5, it has a nice aroma but the flavor isn't really good chai. Wish it were sweeter.

    Food: Skillet Soup Mou Lobster Bisque with Green Salad was superb!!!; Toast Plate Mou - Egg & Prosciutto served with Green Salad, Yogurt Parfait, and Fresh Fruits; Mou is a Japanese style cube-shaped bread; Flat White was a perfect espresso with milk that went well with my breakfast Service: made-to-order service Design: interiors is clean, modern with the a Japanese post & beam warm wood tone mixed with the white walls and grey, paneled concrete floors, beautiful Danish modern chairs, and white marble table tops. Overall: if you want to try a great Japanese bakery & breakfast cafe with good espresso, then check out this spot in Redondo Beach

    Coffee n Matcha time

    I had the most beautiful pastry here, the Rasberry Custard Croisssant (?). It was like a piece of delicious art perfect for the Gram. My coffee was great too. The ambiance here is modern, sleek, sterile and sparse. This place was a little confusing to find but definitely worth checking out.

I stood in line for about five minutes waiting to be helped while multiple customers who came in after me were immediately acknowledged and assisted first. I was wearing a bright yellow shirt and standing clearly in view, so it was difficult to understand how I continued to be overlooked. I even glanced toward the camera because I genuinely could not believe what was happening. What disappointed me most was the customer service. When I later asked for the names of the staff members working during the interaction, Nick, Anianas, and two others.. they questioned why I was asking. I explained that I felt ignored and wanted to accurately reference who was present during the incident. As I was leaving, I overheard one of the workers say, "I feel bad for her walking out," which only added to the frustration because it confirmed they were aware of the situation the entire time. Sorry that I apparently did not fit the "typical clientele" you were more interested in helping first. This occurred between approximately 9:55 AM and 10:05 AM on Thursday, 5/21. Ironically, I had planned on purchasing a large order of pastries for my fiancé and his coworkers, but after the way I was treated, I decided not to spend my money here. If customer service matters to you, I would strongly reconsider visiting this establishment.

DineLA Food & Drink Order ($15): Breakfast Plate: Blueberry Cinnamon Pancakes with 2 Bacon Strips & 2 Eggs (sunny-side up) $15.95 Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte $6.95 Server/Bartender: Andrew I have been a long time fan of Kirari West Bake Shop when it opened with much fanfare as a 100% gluten-free Japanese bakery with treats that defy the common undesirable traits of gluten-free goods: dense, dry, &/or gritty. When Kirari West Bake Shop (refer to Review #290) opened sister bakery, Confections by Kirari West, a couple of years ago, I bookmarked them for a visit but didn't get around to it until I saw them on 2026 DineLA. The confections bakery also sits in King Harbor Plaza, but south of its sister between Glaze Craze & King Harbor Spa, serving all-day breakfast, burger, sandwiches, & pizzas with teas, coffees, & smoothies. According to Andrew, KWBS bakes bread for CBKW & CBKW bakes treats & doughnuts for KWBS. Still not quite understanding the difference because KWBS also serves breakfast but in sandwiches & french toasts, & paninis, sandwiches, & salads. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Initially focused solely on baked goods: artisan breads, scones, & Bake-At-Home gluten-free flour mixes, CBKW has evolved their menu to include sandwiches, pizza, quinoa bowls, & smoothies. The DineLA menu offered 3 options, & I deliberated between pancakes & chicken burger. I chose the Blueberry Cinnamon Pancakes because they looked fluffy & divine in the owner pic; it includes 2 Bacon Strips & 2 Eggs (cooked sunny-side up). And picked an Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte with less ice for my drink. It was quiet for an early lunch, & a couple of ladies walked in after I finished ordering. The bakery cafe has its cozy charm with a lovely black & white mural on the right long wall that's great for selfies or social posts. There's 4 2-tops & counter seating facing the plaza/parking lot, no restroom (assuming sister KWBS will let you use theirs), & plenty of parking though it'll be challenging during lunch & dinner rush with so many eateries in the plaza. Andrew makes an awesomely refreshing Strawberry Matcha Latte that rivals those from boba shops! Balanced sweetness with earthy, grassy matcha & generous dollops of real, sweet strawberry purée... soooooo good! Though smaller & a bit pricier than boba shops, it's a top-notch drink. My pancakes came shortly after; smells great but looks nothing like the pic, not fluffy, not golden. I love eating pancakes no matter the time of day, & these Blueberry Cinnamon Pancakes had comforting notes of cinnamony warmth with random sweet bursts of blueberries. The texture is notably moist & airy, & not reminiscent of typical gluten-free foods which are dry & dense. Typical bacon & eggs, nothing unusual... I prefer thick cut bacon & on the crisper side, but the eggs were perfectly cooked, the whites were set with a runny yolk & crisp, brown edges. It was just enough to satisfy my hunger & quench my thirst. I'm lucky that I don't have any food allergies or restrictions. People with celiac disease require a gluten-free diet, & cooking/baking challenges stem from the lack of gluten for moisture, elasticity, & structure. Customers should know that Confections by Kirari West is a dedicated gluten-free bakery, so there's no worries of cross-contamination. I don't know how Chef Hiro Saito creates this tasty, gluten-free deliciousness here & KWBS... he uses high quality rice flour instead of wheat to create his delectable pastries. On 07/2025, CBKW along with sister KWBS were both designated as a Blue Zones Project Approved Restaurant. This means they're certified to offer healthier, longevity-focused menu options based on plant-slant & whole-food principles like those in Okinawa, Japan or Sardinia, Italy. Quality ingredients... craftsmanship... & sincerity... check, check, & check!! Yeah, I got you in my corner Confections by Kirari West!

    I had more than enough points to redeem a free pastry reward, and since I was just at nearby Del…read moreAmo Fashion Center, I figured why not use one of my free pastry rewards at this Paris Baguette? So first things first, be aware that this Paris Baguette is actually inside Hannam Chain Supermarket at Village Del Amo on the southwest corner of Torrance and Hawthorne. I didn't know it at the time, so I circumnavigated the plaza, looking for Paris Baguette signage like I usually do for the other standalone locations. After stopping my car somewhere in the plaza, I had to double-check the location to be inside the Hannam Chain Supermarket, which I had just literally passed by minutes ago. D'oh! lol I hadn't even heard of Hannam Chain Supermarket, so I took some time to explore the store even though Paris Baguette is literally closest to the entrance. The overall selection of baked goods kind of disappointed me because it felt like there were fewer choices of pastries here compared to the other locations I've been to before. However, oddly enough, they had more selections available! I think it's because they have time stamps listed on each pastry so that the pastries are inside the display case for no more than 4 hours. I thought the pastries would have remained good at least until the end of the day, so to hear of their 4 hour shelf life was a bit surprising to me. For the record, I've been to several other Paris Baguettes before, but this was the first time I noticed these time stamps. Even though the variety of pastries was not as much compared to the other standalone locations, I still had a difficult time deciding which pastry to get! However, I noticed a new flavor of a supreme croissant I hadn't seen before: pink velvet. I've heard of red velvet, but not pink, and presuming that this is a seasonal offering for Valentine's Day, I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to try one before that special day. They had other supreme croissant flavors like chocolate and salted caramel pretzel, but I'm sure those flavors will be offered for much longer than the pink velvet. I do remember trying a strawberry supreme croissant from the Cerritos location, so perhaps after Valentine's Day, that would take the place of the pink velvet. After grabbing one of two Pink Velvet Supreme Croissants left in the display case, I made my way around and to the register. Phone in hand, I had the Paris Baguette app pulled up to redeem my reward. Actually, a good part of me had thought that this location inside Hannam Chain wouldn't honor my reward because for Tous Les Jours, the locations inside Hmart wouldn't be eligible for earning points or redeeming rewards. Luckily, Paris Baguette is not Tous Les Jours, and I was able to redeem my reward with no trouble. The cashier who rang me up was pretty friendly as well. She placed my Pink Velvet Supreme Croissant in a small paper bag and wished me a good day. While there are a handful of tables inside the food hall portion of Hannam Chain, most were occupied by customers of other eateries, so I simply went outside to enjoy my free sweet treat. The pink velvet ruby chocolate that covered the top portion of the round croissant didn't have nearly as much flavor, though the Valentine's sprinkles on top did make for a nice touch at least. Also, the custard cream inside didn't taste like anything at all! It wasn't bad, but it makes me wonder how much more flavorful the salted caramel pretzel would have been. I'll be sure to get that on my next visit to a Paris Baguette! I got the croissant about 2.5 hours after they were prepared, so maybe they would have tasted better had I gone 2 hours earlier? Lastly, I'm kind of shocked that this is pretty much the only Paris Baguette location in the South Bay. With how expansive a city like Torrance is, you would think they'd have at least a second location elsewhere like in Hmart. Otherwise, the next closest location would be in Long Beach, which literally just opened at The Pike Outlets. Overall, it's not a bad Paris Baguette to go to, but if you live in the South Bay, you'd be better off downloading the 85C Bakery app over the Paris Baguette app as there are much more 85C locations in the area. Also, this Paris Baguette may not necessarily carry your favorite pastries here, so heed caution if you plan to go out of your way to visit this patisserie.

    Poor customer service, no clue on what a croissant should look like…read more Unfriendly and dismissive, not even a good morning when I greeted her. Feedback: When you package pastries, you need to add a cookie sheet, or other in the box, Never just drop the pastries into the box. Your croissants are dry, too crunchy and overcooked. The pan aux raisin is hard, heavy and not what it should be. All, do yourself a favor, head to Lomita to Cream Pan.
