Bread, Espresso &

Visited the bakery at 11am on a Saturday. The place was packed, with 30 people in line, which took us about an hour to order. All the breads from the morning were sold out and the staff let us know the next batch would be available around 1-2pm. Availability was limited overall - only the clam chowder and sandwiches for food and brewed coffee for drinks. The clam chowder went great with the bread, so I look forward to trying other items in a few months when the place settles down.

Being from Japan, I can assure that this is the BEST bakery ever in LA! I was so so happy that I got to eat these delicious breads❤️I can tell how baker makes these breads with love. They just opened the bakery and it is so popular - BE PREPARED TO WAIT! Stop complaining people. It is definitely worth a wait.

I went on their opening day. The matcha French toast was fantastic, not too sweet at all. My friend was unfamiliar with their shape of curry pan. He said it was one of the better ones he's had compared to others in Japan. The tuna cheese pan was tasty, but I would only go back for the matcha French toast, to try other French toast flavors, and new bakery offerings that weren't available yet on the first day.

What a fantastic addition to the area! Opening weekend was very very busy, but the staff was very kind and I can’t wait for this place to fully open with full menu. The bread is wonderful and tasty, the prices are great given the style and quality of food. We had a blast, stop by!

The Mou bread was delicious. A bit on the small size for the price but I can deal. The honey and chocolate breads were great tasting too. I think the matcha bread was the best though. Please get there early for the best selection and I hope people stop complaining about limited availability, they state it pretty clearly on their ig and store

We are excited to have a new cafe space in Redondo, especially with yummy eats, good coffee, wifi and plenty of workspace! There are lots of bread options. Sweet or savoury, hot or cold, sit-in or to-go. I haven't tried the coffee yet, but I got the french toast, which is delightful. It's light, and not too sweet. The flavour is consistent throughout the bread without the need of syrup or more sugar, and it's filling. There are red bean, matcha and houjicha flavours to explore as well. The interior is beautiful and peaceful with lots of space for all kinds of groups. The staff are lovely and very accommodating. I can tell they are very excited and happy about the new store. Go say hello :) I'm really glad you're here, パンとエスプレッソと!

The bread is absolutely fantastic and makes this place. Limited menu. The sausages are basically hot dogs that are pretty meh. The drip coffee also mediocre.

This inconspicuous bakery sits underneath IShabu Shabu surrounded by lots of street parking. Dropped by around 10 AM on a drizzly Thursday morning and for a second, I thought it was closed—it looked so quiet from the outside. But the moment I stepped in, I was met with a cozy, bustling bakery, packed with customers and a team of focused workers hustling to get orders out. There was a note on the door apologizing for running out of bread and thanking customers for their loyalty—a sign of how in-demand this place is! I almost turned around, thinking there was nothing left, but then I spotted sandwiches in the cooler. Grabbed a turkey and cheese, plus an egg salad & ham sandwich, and ordered a drip coffee to go. Back home, I bit into the egg salad & ham sandwich and—wow—the texture of the bread was unreal! Soft, airy, with just the right amount of chew. The egg salad was chunky in the best way, the mayo tasted homemade, and the sweet ham balanced it all out. Plus there’s a surprise walnut that gives it a perfect crunch. But really, the bread was the star. I get why some people were frustrated with the early growing pains and short supply, but honestly, selling out fast is a good problem to have. This place is a true Japanese bakery, still finding its rhythm in a new country, and the team—mostly Japanese-speaking—clearly takes pride in quality and excellent customer service. Sure, they’re working through some kinks, but I hope people give them another shot (again, easy for me to say as a local who doesn’t need to travel far). Better to sell out than to have waste! Hopefully, as they adjust, they’ll be able to keep stock longer. Either way, I’ll definitely be back!

First to review! This place is great. They have everything from full loaves of bread to espresso. Highly recommend!
