I used to get Yeems Coffee pretty often when I lived in the South Bay, and their Vienna matcha was…read morealways my go-to. It was one of those drinks I genuinely looked forward to, and I'd usually finish it before I even made it home. I was back in the area today and decided to stop by, hoping to enjoy an old favorite. Unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to what I remembered. The matcha flavor was a little dull, and the drink was noticeably less sweet than usual. I don't necessarily need my matcha to be super sweet, but the balance felt off this time. It just didn't have the same flavor that made me enjoy it so much before, and I found myself not really wanting to finish it. At around $8 plus tip for the Vienna matcha, I do expect a certain level of consistency, especially with a drink I've ordered and enjoyed so many times. That's what made this visit disappointing. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't feel worth the price this time. Maybe it was just an off day, and I can't speak to their other drinks, but based on this visit, I probably won't be going back. I wish it had been as good as I remembered.

Staff is super polite, welcoming, and friendly in that Japanese way that a lot of store staff are (if you know, you know). She saw us perusing their seasonal goods and commenting on how cute everything was and she offered us some samples. Asking us if we liked matcha and answering our questions on what her favorites were. We got to try the Uji Matcha Fromage and the Nama Chocolate Gianduja. My friend ended up getting the latter. Delicious hazelnut and almond paste with their milk chocolate, infused with the liqueurs of those nuts too. Deep and rich tastes without being too bitter. I was worried about her purchasing it then since we had the whole day ahead of us but the store clerk let us know they had ice packs and everything was packaged nicely.

The packaging alone screams luxury. The potato chips are to die for! The chocolate is not too sweet, the chips have a nice crisp and the right touch of salt. The truffels are some of the best I've ever had. I think the price for these items are quite reasonable for the quality your are given. Each bag of chips are about $18-$20. These chips are perfect for gifts or cheat day. Truly something special! The service is very good. I've had the same ladies help me every time I've visited and they are always very kind. This place is located inside the Mitsuwa Marketplace. It's right at the entrance of the Market. I'm not always in the area but when I get the chance I pick up at least a few boxes. You will not regret this treat! The place is very clean. There is plenty of parking available.

The moment I stepped into the store, I was greeted by a friendly employee who offered me samples. This, in and of itself, was not unusual as all See's Candies stores offer samples. What set this experience apart was that the person offered me options to choose from. Usually, they just give you whatever happens to be available at the time. Before I left the store, the employee offered me more samples! I'm not going to bore you with a review of their products. It's See's Candies. The quality of their products is not going to vary from store to store. What I will say is if you're ever in a See's Candies store, rather than buying a prepackaged box, choose your own chocolates from the display case. I usually get a one-pound box and select my favorite pieces of chocolate such as the milk rocky road, pecan roll, toffee-ette, and milk scotch-mallow. I don't know what it is about this place, but I always leave happy.

Good chocolate is pricier. Pretentious chocolate is priciest. See's is good chocolate. I'll take See's over any other chocolate because: nostalgia. Amen and hallelujah. There was a constant parade of patrons carrying bags out the door. I like to think about the folks who get to enjoy the goodies contained in those bags and I know the boxes, tins etc are filled with deliciousness. Oh the joy! As always, samples were flowing, service was swift and friendly and smiles were free. This location gets a little busy, and the parking lot can get congested but keep your patience in check and you'll be in the sweet shop before you can say dark-chocolate- covered-Scotchmallows!

Ube is top so far with their blend of macadamia nut imbedded in the pastry. Ordered through the app but the service is always pleasant from the staff. Always friendly and never delayed. Great space to work in as well as there's plenty of sitting areas for you and your group. Overall will be back for more!

We ordered 5 breads each and one batch was finished baking and instead of giving us some fresh bread as they come out they waited until everything was done baking which was another 30 minutes (even though they said 10 minutes) and thennn they stuffed all 10 breads into one box. All the salty garlic breads stuffed with the sweet ones. Appalling. I had to ask for another box and they couldn't even be bothered to help us. The salt breads themselves were good but the service was so appalling bad that I don't think it's worth your time or money or effort getting there. Original: good but didn't have it fresh Cream cheese garlic: I usually don't like sweetness in my savory items but this was pretty good K-cheese dog: this tasted more like bbq Hot honey pep: pretty good but not hot at all Coffee: my least favorite. Couldn't taste much coffee flavor at all Triple choco: this got ruined bc they mushed the savory and sweet together so it tasted like garlic choco Hodduk: pretty good a little on the sweeter side but I liked it Squid ink matcha: just a squid ink bread with white chocolate matcha on top. No filling. It's good but was hoping for more matcha flavor. Ube: the inside has sweet potato stuffing which is good but also not ube. Not to mention we ordered the san blanc and pear milk tea. The san blanc was actually very good but the pear milk tea barely had any pear flavor and the tea flavor was also very watered down. I asked for some pear syrup and lowkey it made it worse bc it just tasted like sweet milk.

The front space looks more like an arts and crafts setup than a typical chocolate spot (sorry Naomi if you're reading this), but the tasting experience completely changed my impression. Naomi, who led the tasting, is also involved in making the chocolate, which made a big difference. She walked us through their collaborations over the years and the inspiration behind different flavors. It's not a set tasting menu. It's more go with the flow, which made it feel personal and relaxed. She's clearly passionate about what she does and very open to ideas. You can even reach out ahead of time to design your own experience. We ended up tasting over ten flavors that day because she was generous with samples. I left feeling like I probably don't need chocolate again for a while, but still walked out with a stack of bars to share with friends and family. There's something really special about how they connect you to the process. Seeing raw cocoa beans and learning more about how everything is made gave me a bit more appreciative. I also tried cacao nibs, which are gaining popularity, but I'll admit I still prefer chocolate with some sweetness. One standout was a bar sweetened with maple sugar. If had similar but it's also completely different. So many interesting flavors and ideas here. Definitely a unique and memorable experience. More reason for you to check it out.

Just make sure to bring cash since they're cash-only, I'd highly recommend going early because they tend to sell out within the first few hours. Also closed on Sunday/Monday!

Some of the white bean ones have fruit infused in the mochi but they don't have anything with actual fruit inside. It's cash only. Also, Sakura-ya mochi is just a few steps away on the same street if I want to check that out too but Chikara mochi is much more decorative & pretty.

If truffles aren't your thing, they have plenty of chocolate bars to choose from. I highly recommend the berry bar (organic dried raspberries, strawberries and pacific sea salt). Service is welcoming and friendly! They'll offer you a free sample of any of the truffles (minus the Dubai flavor). It's a great way to try something before committing. If you get the a box of truffles, they'll wrap them up in a cute packaging with your choice of a colored ribbon. Perfect for gifts or to yourself!

It was his first time going to Beard Papa because there is a Persona collab currently going on. Purchased a 4 pack of the collab cream puffs from an older male employee working there. There were communication issues because the worker couldn't understand the simple order. Eventually my SO got his order, paid and left. He brought them home to eat, took one bite of the cream puff (Joker themed strawberry cheesecake-filled cream puff) only to find the filling was just plain vanilla. Understandably upset because this wasn't what he paid for, he went back to get replacements because now we can't trust that the others have the correct filling either. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be any other employees/management present so my SO had to confront this same male employee. No apologies or anything for the mistake. Instead he kept repeatedly doubling down about how he wasn't told that my SO wanted something different. The onus should NOT be on the customer to just KNOW that the fillings can be changed. Especially if it's their first time visiting. Nor does it make sense that the DEFAULT filling for the collab pastries should be anything other than advertised. My SO had to raise his voice and demand replacements, and this employee threw a tantrum by rolling his eyes and tossing the old ones with an attitude. You don't belong in customer service if you can't handle simple orders and taking accountability. He seriously needs to be retrained/disciplined/fired. SOMETHING. This man was awful and rude and this is absolutely unacceptable behavior.
