    Hamadaya Bakery is an absolute godsend when it comes to their Coffee Milk Jelly. It is currently my top favorite drink of all time. If you love coffee, definitely give this a try - it just tastes more refreshing than your average Starbucks drink. Also, be sure to try their fresh bread as well - it's the bomb! The staff is generally kind and accommodating here and I always try to stop by whenever I'm at this plaza. Love Hamadaya!!!

    katsu sando and egg salad sando

    This is a great bakery tucked into the Mitsuwa Marketplace. It has a wide selection of Japanese inspired goods, and they are all delicious. I came here just to try the Coffee Jelly Milk (delicious), but ended up being intrigued by their display case of pastries. I ordered a wide variety of goods and found them all to be very yummy. I do recommend stopping here for a quick lunch because they have a great selection of Japanese sandwiches served on milk bread. I got the combo with the katsu and the egg salad, but the egg salad was definitely my favorite. I would highly highly recommend their coffee jelly milk as well. I can't wait to  come back to try more!

    Matcha soft serve with mochi and almond

    One of my favorite items here is the matcha soft serve. It is flavorful and I like the toppings like kinako, mochi, and almond. It is big and I usually can't finish it all, but it makes me happy. I also enjoy the chocolate donut and the custard pudding from the case. Shopping center parking. Food court seating available. Please come and create your own adventure.

    This is my go to place for whenever i'm craving soft serve. The ice cream is creamy and even has golden grahams cereal at the bottom for a nice crunch! Our ice cream was not too sweet and had just the perfect amount of sweetness to it. Our server was super sweet :)

    Great option for grabbing tasteful bakery and affordable drink. Place is located inside Mutsuwa Supermarket, within the food court area precisely. Friendly staff and definitely recommended all the bread option. Please pay attention to some post menu by cashier coz they display there in addition to the menu on the wall.

    Went to Mitsuwa market , saw this small dessert store and try their green tea soft serve was creamy and not very sweet. no regrets it. Service was nice here.

    Matcha/vanilla soft serve
    Huevi L.

    I LOVE this place!!! Such an underrated little bakery inside mitsuwa marketplace!! They have so many drink options, pastries, fresh breads, and savory breads. All of their desserts and pastries are the perfect sweetness, not too sweet! - boston cream donut: 9.6/10. My go-to pastry. Sadly, it's always sold out as they have a very limited amount of everything. I love how it has a dark chocolate shell that is crunchy with a sweet, custard filling. - matcha soft serve: 8.8/10. One of the best matcha ice creams/soft serves I have ever had. The matcha flavor is very strong and it comes with cereal on the bottom (freeeeee!) Crunchy and creamy goodness ! You can also add mochi, kinako powder, and kuromitsu (my recommended toppings). Other items I would recommend are their fresh breads, specifically the boloniya, coffee jelly drink, cream cornet, and kinako milk tea.

    Stopped by Hamadaya Bakery and decided to try the vanilla soft serve. It ended up being one of the better soft serves I've had in a while. The texture was smooth and creamy without being overly rich, and the vanilla flavor was clean and noticeable without tasting artificial or overly sweet. It had a balanced finish that made it easy to enjoy to the last bite. Service was calm and polite. The staff moved efficiently and handled the steady stream of customers with ease. My order was taken and prepared quickly, and the presentation was clean and simple. The bakery itself is minimal and inviting, with neatly arranged shelves and a bright, open layout. It's not a large space, but it feels thoughtfully designed and well maintained. You can grab something quickly or stay for a bit without feeling rushed. Hamadaya clearly focuses on quality in both its presentation and products. The vanilla soft serve may seem like a simple order, but here it's done with care and precision. I'd come back to explore more of their offerings.

    Coffee jelly milk
    Minji W.

    This is a small bakery inside of mitsuwa! It looks a little old, but they have yummy dessert! I just got back from Japan and this bakery's coffee jelly met my standards! It was delicious

    Coffee Jelly Milk--no mixing necessary, just drink it as is.
    David B.

    A necessary respite from the prototypical boba dessert shop you'd encounter in SoCal. I had started to wane tired of the usual tea and milk combo, and stumbled upon this shop that I probably passed a thousand or more times when shopping in Mitsuwa. I really thought the variety of drinks and small bites here were inspiring--and so I had to try the Coffee Jelly Milk, which I found to be probably the best thing I've consumed in the last week. The cashier was very particular about what drinks can be modified, and which can't, so keep in that mind if you have specific requirements, this might not be the place. I ordered the jelly with my request being the least amount of syrup/sugar added, and it came out perfect. She was allowing limited modifications to the jelly drinks, and the iced matcha one but I believe that's all. In an age where neon lit boba shops and overly gimmicky toppings seem to take center stage, we sometimes forget that the most basic tried and true desserts out of Japan are just plain delicious. I will be back to try the infamous matcha soft serve.

    We were craving matcha soft‑serve, so we popped into the food court in Mitsuwa Supermarket to grab a snack. They offer soft serve, drinks, and a selection of baked goods. The soft serve is a good portion for $5, and you can choose vanilla, matcha, or a swirl of both. We also tried the hojicha donut--it was delicious, filled generously with hojicha cream. So glad we stopped by.

    Coffee jelly
    Sara K.

    My go to bakery whenever I'm in the area. It's located inside mitsuwa market. My favorites: Coffee jelly - highly recommend getting first thing in the morning since I've been here several times and they were already sold out! Cold milk with fresh sweet coffee jelly in it. The more you drink, the more it tastes like a sweet latte with jelly. I prefer jelly to boba since it's softer and not as chewy. Crispy cream bread - crunchy outer shell with custard cream inside. Egg donut - a less guilty donut since it has a hard-boiled egg in it. Makes me feel somewhat better about eating one since there's protein in it! Matcha soft serve - it's a generous portion! I love this soft serve ice cream with crunchy cereal at the bottom. One of my favorite matcha soft serves and always reminds me of Japan. Service is quick and food is always fresh. Prices are pretty reasonable. Definitely recommend early morning visits to get the bread and coffee before they sell out.

There were about 3 people ahead of me in line and a few waiting for drinks, but I was able to order and get my drink in around 10 minutes. Staff was very friendly and checked in with us while waiting in line! I ordered the Matcha Two, which comes as a matcha latte topped with salted matcha vanilla cream foam. The foam was velvety and creamy. The matcha had a smooth, earthy flavor with subtle sweetness. Oatmilk was the default choice, and while I usually think oatmilk can overpower matcha, it worked well in this drink. It is a little pricey for 1 drink, but that also seems to be the norm these days for specialty drinks. This is more of a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out. There's no seating, just a bench inside, and everyone waited outside since the interior is on the smaller side. Parking was easy when I went. Overall, a pleasant experience for a yummy matcha drink, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their matcha menu!

The ambiance is swanky and a spot for people to be on their laptops to do homework or work. They offer pastries and free wifi. I would recommend sticking to the coffee and will try again next time in the area.

Came here with some friends for Afternoon Tea on a Saturday. We made a reservation for 12:30pm. Check-in was easy and quick. Since it was raining, we were seated indoors. Our server came to explain the menu and tea choices. Unfortunately, they were out of some teas, but they have a seasonal tea menu to make up for it. There were four of us and we all got the Afternoon Tea set. The teas we chose were the Coconut Milk Green Tea, Blueberry Pie Green Tea, Earl Grey Lavender, and Cherry Rose Rooibos. The teas came out first followed by the food items. We were told to let the teas steep for 4 minutes before pouring them. They were all great, but the favorite for us was the Coconut Milk Green Tea. It was creamy, smooth, and milky with a nice coconut flavor. The Blueberry Pie Green Tea tasted like a blueberry pie. We did not feel that the blueberry flavor was artificial. The Earl Grey Lavender was more Earl Grey than lavender. There might have been a subtle lavender flavor. The Cherry Rose Rooibos was surprisingly flavorful. We were able to taste both the cherry and rose. The food items were all solid. Our favorite sandwiches are the Chicken Salad and Cucumber ones. The breads for all the sandwiches were soft and fluffy, but they held up well. The scones were crunchy but not dry, and the jam was delicious. The fruit tart was mediocre. The pastry was soggy, affecting the texture of the tart. The macaron was not as chewy as others I have had in thr past, but was not too sweet. I did not try the donut so cannot comment on it. Overall, giving Morning Lavender Cafe a 4.5/5. Service is great and staff are quick and attentive. The teas were all good and most of the food is solid with exception of a couple of bites. It is a cute spot for hanging out or having an event such as a bridal shower or birthday. Would recommend to others and would return for Afternoon Tea or other items.

Service was average. Expect to wait about 10 minutes with average customer volume as they spend more time of curating each drink. 4/5 largely based on coffee as I feel the customer experience can be improved. One piece of feedback is that the menu should be reorganized. There are espresso drinks on several of the menu panels but then one space specifically that is titled espresso drinks which would imply the others don't have espresso. For example, the house specialties are listed on a completely separate panel as the espresso drinks, would've like to order one of those had I known they were offered. Essentially you have to read the whole menu with the way it's currently organized you can't just search for tea or coffee sections or you'll likely miss something Importantly you can't study or work here. They intentionally don't have wifi or outlets available to foster a different customer experience. Many of the clientele were reading or knitting which was pleasant. While I support this, it's not made know to customers by signs or anything - you would have to look on Yelp beforehand to know. In addition, I've been to other Kean branches that offered wifi so unless this is a new policy or the branches are owned independently it's important to make customers aware they can't expect the internet at this location in particular. I was caught off guard and had to leave immediately as I needed wifi at the time which was unfortunate. Seats about 25 inside, patio also available. Bathroom under lock and key. Parking is in l shopping center, no issues.
