Okayama Kobo Bakery & Cafe

A fantastic Japanese bakery with fresh and delicious offerings. Their salt & butter roll is absolutely incredible—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making it the shop’s top choice for a reason. The curry pan was also flavorful and satisfying. However, the filet fish panini was a bit dry. If you want to spend some time here, you can pair your treats with a coffee. There’s outdoor seating available, but it’s first come, first served. A great spot to enjoy some quality baked goods.

There's a line out the door on the weekend, and I can understand why. You can see the bakers consistently baking bread, and pastries are constantly moving, so they're super fresh. I got their seasonal items; the kabocha bun was nicely spiced and not too sweet. The bread part was nice and soft. I got their seasonal hojicha latte, and it was yummy as well!

Had to try here after hearing so much good things about Okayama 😍 their Mentai salt and butter roll and fish fillet sandwich are really good 😊 can’t find them anywhere else Their matcha is kind of light in taste. Had banana cream top matcha latte. Very rich banana flavor but kind of sweet side. Stopped by 30 min before they close on Sunday but still had a long line 😅 The wait wasn’t too bad. Highly recommend if you like Japanese pastries 🥐

They open 8-4 Tuesday to Sunday. We came on a Saturday at 8:20 and the line was a few doors down past the barber shop in front of Lazy Bird. Took 30 mins to get to the front and out at 9. Once you’re in, it’s fast. If you want to get drinks only or get drinks while you’re waiting in line, there’s a separate door to the left (the exit). It’s so much faster than the bread line. You can also place orders on line and pick up to save time. We scoped out the menu while we were in line and knew what we wanted. I ended up with the list below: *6 Spicy curry pan 2 Cookie and sea salt butter roll *3 French toast 2 Chocolate croissants Bacon jalapeño croissant Turkey cheese croissant *Honey fromage pizza Matcha rose latte Yuzu lemonade Caned strawberry milk =$98! Flour is imported from Japan, breads are baked fresh daily and they sell out. No preservatives or additives. For some reason at this place, I only like their savory pastries. I usually get red bean salt and butter at other Japanese bakeries but didn’t have it here. The exterior on the cookie sea salt roll was not brushed with a buttery glazed for a sweet and salty taste, it was bland and then the cookie was sweet. Spicy curry pan was the best. Had great filling ratio and the panko crusted bread was soft. Everything savory, we liked which is total opposite of what I normally like. I expected more from the matcha latte like a better quality on the matcha. The yuzu lemonade was refreshing. I would come back for more spicy curry pan and try the banana matcha latte. Banana seems to be trending and I didn’t see this option on line or on the menu until after I ordered when a small poster was next to the cashier. Parking in this area is limited along the streets. There are also parking structures nearby.

Curry pan was really good! The curry was a thicker version of the dish, but I wish it had more solid filling. The Kuma pan had weird expression but still cute. Service was very efficient!

Adorable Bakery with Amazing Pastries and Drinks! This Japanese-style bakery is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’ll be greeted with the cutest pastries, like the chocolate emoji buns and more. I highly recommend the curry bun and the salt butter pastry—they are simply delicious! My wife had the matcha taro latte and said it’s a must-try for anyone visiting. The outdoor patio is a great spot to enjoy your food and drinks, providing a cozy atmosphere to relax in. This place is a perfect stop for anyone looking for high-quality, tasty pastries with a charming vibe. Can’t wait to come back!

One of my favorite bakeries. All the series are delicious, whether sweet or salty. The drinks are also very good. I buy a big box every time. The kids love it.

The mentai roll is my favorite thing to get! I love the matcha rose and banana matcha lattes from their drink selection. I avoid going here because I can easily spend $50 with no hesitation. The service is always great, too! I love Okayama 🫶 I’m just a little sad the parking garage has recently become paid parking, so now I have to park a little farther.

Such a cute bakery!! Make sure to get there early because the line does get pretty long! I do believe if you just want a drink you can go straight inside to order and the main line is for the pastries and you can order a drink at the register once you get your pastries. Everything I tried was so good but I highly recommend the strawberry cream pastry and the banana drink!

Trust the line and hype of this place. I came here on a Sunday around 10 AM and there was a line. The line does move rather quickly. There is a parking structure for two hour parking close to this spot. All the bread look like random bread but don't let that fool you. All the breads are nice and fluffy and had a chewiness that so good. My favorite bread is the cookie salt and butter roll. I was thinking it would be like a chocolate chip cookie type but it's more like the crumb topping you get from a bolo bao. It's the perfect combination. I wish I brought a couple of them. The drinks are great. A bit on the sweeter side but great flavors. The service is awesome. Everyone was super friendly and kept the line moving. Super helpful on suggestions and answering all our questions. Overall, if you're cravings for some Japanese style bakery sweets, this is your place.

Whenever I go to viral bakeries, I'm always tempted to try one of everything since everything looks so good. Unfortunately, the real estate in my stomach is limited so I only got three baked goods and one drink. Here's what I would get and what I would skip: Banana matcha - I love bananas and I love matcha. Would definitely get again. Strawberry cream croissant - strawberries were very sweet so I wouldn't mind getting again. Salt croissant - such a fluffy yet simple bread. Would get again. Matcha sunrise - wasn't very impressed with this one. The outer layer is crumbley but flavor-wise, it wasn't there

Long line on the weekend but it moved pretty quickly. Their bread offerings had sweet and savory and overall were delicious. I ordered the mentai salt and butter croissant, the yakisoba bun and a matcha red bean mochi anpan. Prices are fair and service is quick and friendly. There's tables outside and my friends got the matcha banana drink which they liked too. The hardest part was wanting to try everything after having waited in line but my eyes are bigger than my stomach LOL. Street parking and parking in the structure.

Oh man! I forgot how good this place is. All their breads are freshly made . Be sure to come early if you want to try their French toast because it sells out quick. Their salted butter croissant is their most popular seller, it's soft, warm, and delicious. Everything I got here was delicious. I'm not a big matcha person but their match cold brew is amazing . Definitely give this bakery a try if you're in the area.

Saturday: line was over 50 people long at around 11:00 am. Left and came back the following day Sunday: Got dropped off at 9:50 with 20 people in line which took about an hour. Matcha sea salt cold brew -Thick, creamy, salty well balanced matcha foam that balanced the cold brew with caramel. Sweet but not artificial tasting like other coffee shops. Spicy curry: Good amount of spicy filling. Soft and thin dough with bread crumbs that add a lot of texture to the bread. Overall: Loved the items I ordered. The price was fair . And I appreciate the feel good vibe of having no preservatives in the dough.

The cutest bakery to stop by when in Anaheim or going to Disney! I came on a Friday morning and there was a decent line about 20 mins long. They have wide variety of breads and pastries on display but their most popular bread that I loved the most was the salt and butter roll. The bread was so soft and fluffy with a good taste of butter. It was a simple bread of great quality. I also tried their matcha mochi anpan, chocolate emoji, and raspberry cream cheese cube which I like in that order. The mochi was super soft and stretchy and paired nicely with the red bean filling and outer matcha bread. I wasn't the biggest fan of the chocolate emoji since the chocolate was a bit much for me but it was really cute and the bread was soft and fluffy. The raspberry cream cheese had a lot of cream cheese so if you like that it would be for you. For drinks, I tried their matcha rose latte with oatmilk and the sea salt taro latte and both were good but my favorite was the matcha rose latte because the rose flavor was subtle and the cream was good with the matcha. The sea salt taro latte was tasty but I'm not the biggest fan of artificial taro flavor although the cream was yummy! There are seats in the outside patio and makes for a nice hangout spot. Overall I enjoyed my experience here! I would say it was worth the wait and my favorite items were the salt and butter roll, matcha mochi anpan, and the matcha rose latte!

One of my favorite local shops! I love hate that they got so popular on TikTok because the lines are a nightmare. Luckily they're so efficient and the line keeps moving. Any pastry you get here is so delicious, you can always ask for it warmed as well! The coffees are my favorite! Always so creamy and with the perfect amount of sweetness. I've always wanted to try their banana foam but was nervous only because I hate artificial flavors. I finally caved and absolutely NOT artificial flavoring! Also not really foam it's thick almost like a cream or a custard, I added that to my caramel latte but think it would taste better on a vanilla latte! Staff here is so sweet and kind, one of them checked the line outside and saw that there were services dogs so he brought out complimentary treats! There is outside seating only.

Came on a Tuesday morning and it was decently busy. This bakery is super cute and the workers were chipper early in the morning. All of their baked goods looked absolutely adorable and delicious. I got their banana matcha latte and it was one of the best ones I've had in Orange County. I also tried their turkey and cheese croissant - although it is smaller than most bakeries, theirs is super flakey and crispy... the cheese oozes out and crisps up on the edges too giving it that extra crunchy texture and sharp cheese-y note. I also got their smores tart, which was absolute divine! My boyfriend tried their bear bun and he really enjoyed how airy and soft it was. It paired perfectly with his latte. They have some merch including a t-shirt and baseball cap for sale, which I might have to come back for because it looked so stinkin' cute. Will definitely be back!

Leaving disneyland today my sister and I needed to satisfy our craving for matcha and this lovely bakery popped up. What a find! This is a gem of a coffee shop/bakery. Absolutely 10/10 on both food and drinks! The banana cream on top of my matcha was PHENOMENAL! Going to be dreaming about it for a whillleeee! We weren't too hungry so we just got a soba noddle sandwich and a pork bun. Both were so yum!! The yakisoba bun was very different but was everything I hoped and more. My sister had the pork bun and loved it, it was a delicious savory treat. The area is nice, lots of easy parking. Inside there's two counters, one to order from the bakery and one for the drinks. Service was just delightful, the employees were so sweet and had great recommendations! I will definitely try to get back here next time i'm in the area or at disneyland!!

Was visiting LA and had been wanting to visit this cafe for their Banana Creme Matcha Latte and omg !!! It was better than I imagined! I have been thinking about it since last month and even tried recreating it but have failed. The banana crème matcha latte was a perfect balance of banana and matcha flavors! I did not try any of their pastries/ bread as they were out already since I went near closing. Staff is super friendly despite being super busy and they get the drinks done quite quickly. There is some indoor seating which is nice and it's inside a hotel

Came on a Tuesday around 9:30am and there was already a line forming. There is a drinks line and a bakery line. We stood in the bakery line that moved pretty quickly and was able to also order our drinks there. They had so many bakery items that looked cute and delicious. It was overwhelming, but we ended up ordering multiple things to try and share. I was most surprised by the salt and butter roll. It was fresh out of the oven and I didn't think much of it at first, but the bread was fluffy and just the right amount of saltiness and buttery-ness. We ordered the banana creme matcha latte, matcha sea salt cold brew, and their seasonal kobo-jicha latte. Their matcha tasted good with the right amount of sweetness so that it did not taste like grass. I'm not usually a fan of banana in my drinks, but I did really like the combo.

This place has been on my must try list for a while but I've always held off until now because I heard the lines can get crazy long. I went on a Saturday around 11am and only waited about 15 minutes. The line looks long as it is outside the store but moves fairly quickly. The whole display case at the front shows all of the cute and tasty bread and pastry selections from sweet filled breads, crispy paninis, and savory fluffy breads. If you are getting a lot of pastries or want a cute box, be sure to tell the workers before you start choosing your breads. Or else they will just be in individual bags or clear containers. All of the bread we tried (curry pan, snowman, and everything salt and butter) was so fluffy and the fillings weren't too sweet. They paired perfectly with the drinks we got. The banana matcha tasted like matcha with a huge scoop of banana pudding on top! It was very milky and creamy. The taro latte was very rich as well. I think it would've tasted better with a shot of espresso. I'll definitely be back to try the other breads and paninis I didn't get to try.

Okayama! What to say -- it takes me back to Japan, as everyone else has been hinting at; and the service is welcoming and friendly and the spicy curry bun really has a strong kick; beware :) Ensure to order the blended banana foam matcha latte along with your pastries to complete the order. Easy parking during the week but rough in downtown Anaheim during peak hours. Situated in a nice bustling area in Anaheim and I frequent this spot regularly :)

Quality, quality, quality! This bakery is a must-visit if you're in the Anaheim area. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by rows upon rows of baked treats, making it nearly impossible to choose just a few. While there's no indoor seating, plan accordingly, as there are plenty of outdoor tables and even more seating just steps away at the nearby apartment complex. On a lovely day, sitting outside with a hot drink and a freshly baked, soft, and fluffy bread from Okayama Kobo is an experience in itself. Their selection of savory and sweet breads is fantastic. While I haven't tried every single one, the ones I have sampled are undeniably delicious. Despite their popularity and frequent crowds, the line moves quickly, and perhaps best of all, the staff consistently deliver excellent customer service. If you're a fan of fresh bread, this bakery absolutely deserves a spot at the top of your list. You won't be disappointed. All I can say is I wish I lived closer!

So many yummy pastry options to choose from. I always start with a classic bread roll and then build up from there. They also have a separate coffee line if you aren't getting any food. Don't be scared of the line, it goes quickly. Pearson Park is also a short walk away if you want to get out in the sun for a bit.

I love love love this place! Didn't get a chance to try their drinks, but we picked up a few pastries: the salted & butter roll, curry pan, strawberry milk cream croissant, and the Kobo Kuma (with vanilla bean custard filling). The salted & butter roll was amazing--wish I got more! As a savory pastry fan, the curry pan was perfect: crispy outside, fluffy inside, with a tasty curry filling. The Kobo Kuma was soft and the custard was just sweet enough, but I still prefer the savory options. The strawberry milk cream croissant was just okay for me. Very cute inside too!

I got the Cookie salt & butter roll ($4). The bread is SUPER fluffy and soft. It's very light and not overly buttery. It tasted so good warm. The only thing was that as it was my first time going here, I was kind of confused where the cookie butter was on my roll because all I tasted was a butter roll. Apparently, the cookie butter is a coat on the top of the roll. So basically, the rolls are all butter rolls but with butter on top. I wish I had known this because I hoped it had filling. The decor in the store was also very cute! We went around opening and the line wasn't bad at all. However, when we were exiting, the line was already past the store. I'll definitely be back though to try the other breads and also their drinks!!

Ideally I'd give this place 3.5 stars. This place is located in a shopping plaza/business center, so unless you want to walk a couple blocks you need to park in a parking garage. My boyfriend and I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon and the line was so long, I think we waited for 45 minutes so be prepared! Its a small shop, super cute cafe style but really only fits 15 ish people. The employees were very nice though considering how busy and hectic it was. We ordered the salt bread, banana creme matcha, and matcha cold brew. The salt bread was very fresh and savory, super salty actually lol. But very soft! The matcha was ok, the matcha isn't that strong so its pretty milky. You can tell they use fresh banana though! The matcha cold brew was also just okay too, matcha flavor was lacking. I would visit again if the wait dies down to try their other pastries.

I recently visited this cute Japanese bakery. I haven't been here in a few years. There's street parking or paid parking structures. The bakery is small, and the line can grow long. So be patient! The workers are friendly, and will greet you with a smile. They do apologize for the wait, which is appreciated. I ordered a few goods for my family. The bread is so soft and fluffy here! My favorite is the cute kobo kuma bread. They're known for their salt & butter rolls. I also ordered their kobo-jicha drink, which is hojicha powder with vanilla foam and oatmilk. I made a substitute with whole milk. The worker said that I could come back and ask for oat milk, if the drink didn't taste good with whole milk. I appreciate the customer service here! The drink was delicious. I recommend this bakery if you enjoy Japanese bread and pasteries! Just come early if you want to avoid the long lines.

I am SO impressed by the quality of both the drinks and bakery goods that this cafe has to offer. Basically everything was a hit, I couldn't even decide what I liked most DRINKS They include a picture in the front of the most popular items. They were all bomb to me. I DO recommend adjusting sugar (they told me I didn't need to but it did run sweet for me). My favorite drinks ranked 1) matcha rose 2) taro sea salt 3) matcha banana 4) matcha cold brew My favorite bread ranked 1) salt and butter roll, cookie salt and butter roll, mentai salt and butter roll (soooo fluffy and warm and soft. These HIT) and the spicy curry pan (I couldn't rank them lol they're actually all #1) The only thing that didn't quite hit was the matcha sunrise bread, it was a little dry. Could've been an off batch since everything else was so good Overall LOVE this place so much. I can't wait to come back if I'm in the area

Cute bakery situated on a busy street in downtown Anaheim. Tons of cute Japanese bakery items. My favorite item would definitely have to be the spicy curry pan bread. The chocolate and sweet cream buns are also really good as well. Tons of options for you to try, and the staff are really sweet with explaining their whole selection. Street parking can get a little bit rough during busy hours, but there's always someone coming and going so it shouldn't take too long to find parking. There's a public parking garage nearby as well!

I have to say this is the most amazing bread I have ever had! I got a chocolate croissant, fresh bread, and a concha. The chocolate croissant was mouthwatering and had the most perfect chocolate and bread flavor! The breadsticks I got were butter and salty, and my mouth is watering thinking about it! I did order a cold brew with sugar-free vanilla and that was amazing! The flower is imported from Japan, so it's supposed to be better for you! I am gluten sensitive, but the bread didn't accept my stomach! The line was so long however, the minute I got to the counter, it was very fast! The ambience is a cute little hole in the wall, so there is no place to sit inside!

Wow. So many cute and delicious pasties. I ordered a lot and the staff were very patient with me. There is parking outside and seating in the front outside as well as counter standing tables if you want to eat indoors. Luckily there wasn't a line. I ate half the stuff before I took a picture, but my favorite pastry is the chestnut croissant. It was flakey but the chestnut and filling gave it such a special delicious taste making it the perfect treat for any occasion. I think the matcha buns were disappointing, but still delicious, I just think I had high expectations for them.

This bakery is always bustling, located in the heart of downtown Anaheim, offering some of the most delicious baked goods around. My personal favorite is the curry, but there's a wide variety to choose from. During my visit in the fall, they even had seasonal specialty coffees. The staff is friendly and will do their best to accommodate you. Since the lines can get long, it's best to arrive early. Parking is available both on the street and in the nearby structure.

Location was easy to find in downtown Anaheim. Plenty of parking. Got there around 2:30pm and surprise got still had a very long line (which went pretty quick). Lots of bread still available and you can see and smell them baking some more of the butter pan. Ordered their fish panini, mental salt and butter bread, and was adventurous and opted for their banana foam matcha (I am not a big fan of banana or more so artificial), but everyone was ordering it and it seemed like a very popular drink. 5/5: Mentai salt and butter roll. Warm, light, and fluffy. There was a sufficient amount of sweet and salty mentai roe that lined the interior of the bread. Was able to taste the roe in each bite. Very unique and never had anything like it befor. Usually have mentai with noodles or rice, but with bread jt was great! 2/5: Fish Panini Cold, hard and mushy. Bread was pre toasted and had what appeared to be a nice cheese crust on the exterior. Sandwich was lined with a very flavorful herbaceous spread and a wee bit of slaw with two fish sticks. Due to it being premade. The interior ended up being soggy and the exterior cold and hard. Might be better if it was fresh? 2/5: Banana Foam Matcha Latte Loved that you can get it less sweetened and have your choice of milk. I got it half sweetened and with 2% cause their standard whole was out. Matcha latte was very creamy which I thought was fine. Didn't taste too much of the matcha. Banana foam was VERY artificially tasting on the banana flavor. After a few sips, I could see how the paring works. Enjoyed the crisp topping they had on the foam. Overall could not finish the drink because the artificial banana flavor was too overpowering. Would come back to try a different drink and other breads. Overall ok. Very small store and expect a 15 minute wait. Service is VERY kind and accommodating. Lots of fresh bread options.

What a cute bakery! Love the soft, fluffy and chewy simplicity of the salt bread and cookie butter bread, and deliciousness of the banana matcha latte. Be warned of super long lines and difficulty finding parking in the area on the weekends, but the line moves quickly, and the staff are all so friendly and patient with each customer, despite the seemingly never-ending line. They deserve a raise! If you are there for drinks only, there is a separate entrance/line so you don't have to wait as long.

Service was fabulous, got some insights from employees on the bakery items that i would like and they were correct! Employees were quick and attentive with everyone! the strawberry and vanilla custard were delicious and tasted fresh! They are very limited on syrups for your coffee which was disappointing. I got 2 vanilla iced lattes + the vanilla was very faint.. It was more bitter than we anticipated...We ended up using some splenda packets that I had in my bag to give it a sweeter taste. The bakery seemed to be a stronger suit!

Super cute bakery with lots of selection of breads and drinks! It was a great place to stop for a quick afternoon snack. Staff were friendly as well.

I've only visited this bakery once but after trying out a handful of their pastries and drink, I know I will be a frequent customer. My favorite pastry so far is definitely the fish panini. It sounds fairly odd but it reminded me of a filet o fish, but better! I thoroughly enjoyed every other pastry I picked out and I loved that they weren't overly sweetened. I hope to one day make it there early enough to try their melon pan bread as that seems to sell out quickly. I also tried their hojicha latte which with also delicious!

I absolutely LOVE this place! it's my go to spot for their yummy bread and and matcha. Though the lines can get really long it's worth it in the end. The employees are so nice and friendly with you throughout your order. The place is pretty small but it's very cute, it does give japanese coffee shop which btw it is based from japan. Reminds me from my trip.

Japanese bakery with good drink options. Salt & Butter rolls are to die for. That's it, that's the review.

It was my first time here and I loved it! I had an appointment nearby and I was hungry afterwards. I love pastries and just wanted something simple and this place popped up on Yelp when I was searching for something to eat. The place looked cute from the photos and so I decided to visit. Everything from the service, to the food, to the vibes was amazing. I'd love to especially thank the girls who helped pick and package my bread at the front. They were super sweet and made me feel unbelievably welcome. This place may be a bit far from where I live but I will be coming back for sure! I've already recommended to several friends so I hope they visit too!

I came strictly for the banana matcha cream latte. It absolutely did not disappoint. Was there a line ? Yes of course, however if you know to expect a wait , you can't complain. overall I had a great experience . The pastries were super soft and fluffy, not too sweet at all. 100 percent I would return this has to be my favorite matcha latte I've ever had.

We came on a Saturday afternoon and the line was way out the door, but it went by quickly and we had our food and drinks within 20 minutes! I love the banana matcha latte that's popular and I recommend asking for one less pump of syrup because it is superrr sweet (coming from someone with a sweet tooth). The banana flavor and matcha perfectly balance each other and it doesn't have the 'grassy' taste that is often associated with matcha. I also tried the salt and butter roll and even though it was still warm from the oven, it was nothing special in my opinion. I'll definitely try some of their other pastries next time. There is no indoor seating, but there are some tables outside with umbrellas. As for parking, there is free street parking that is pretty limited or paid parking structures. You should be able to find a spot on the street after one round around the block though.

HANDS DOWN ONE OF MY FAVE BAKERY TO DATE!!! I'm soooo obsesssssed with this bakery. Good thing it takes me a whole 40 mins to get here, otherwise, this would be very VERY dangerous for me! As a fan of all things bread and pastries, this place has been bookmarked as a place I've been wanting to visit for quite some time based on all of the highly rated reviews. I was initially mostly drawn to the bakery because of the coveted cute bear-shaped bread. And upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised with all the variety and unique pastries they had in store for such a small bakery. I ordered quite a bit as a first timer who wanted to literally EAT everything. I got the Kobo kuma, salt & butter roll, curry pan, spicy curry pan, strawberry milk cream, and their seasonal kabocha custard bun (the best pumpkin filling I've ever had!!!) + their banana matcha latte. Everything lived up to expectations and all the highly rated reviews can be confirmed. I'd recommend this bakery to my friends and family! As all the reviews have already mentioned, there WILL BE A LINE -- so expect the same! If it's hot, bring your hat and umbrella as the line forms outside the door... and yes, I waited about 30 minutes, but once you're inside, it goes by pretty quick. It was a line definitely worth the wait! This is no gimmick. It's the real deal. All the pastries I tried were delicious and superior. *chefs kiss* LOVE IT. LOVE IT. LOVE IT. Will be coming back for more if I'm in the area!!!

This was my first time here because I just moved to the area. I actually live pretty close by and noticed this place one day when I was stopping by Fedex across the street. What stood out to me without even knowing what this place was was its aesthetics and the amount of people in the shop. I didn't know it was even a bakery without noticing the name. I came back on a Friday morning around when they opened at 8am, and they were already they were out of things. However they baked more :) I got a matcha cold brew here and a bunch of bread and pastries to go, and omg the bread is so good! You can instantly tell the difference in ingredients that stands out from this place from others. They use hokkaido milk in their breads and it makes a big difference in taste and texture. Needless to say, I will definitely be coming back in the future since I live so close by. I definitely want to try other things on their menu :)

The service here is always so good! While the lines are always long, it is SO worth the hype. The people who work here are always so kind and their banana cream matcha latte has me in a chokehold. It is SO creamy and the quality of matcha is delicious. I always adjust my sweetness because I don't like my drinks too sweet so I get half sweet and it's JUST right. I crave this so often.

If you love matcha, the Banana Matcha is a must when coming here. Also, my husband ordered a cold brew with vanilla cold foam -- very basic I know but he's not big on trying new drinks so this was in his comfort zone. He said it was sooo good. Pastries are top tier. The bread is so airy, like a soft pillow cloud. I can't wait to go back. Just wish they were open on Mondays.

Everything is delicious at Okayama Kobo. My favorites are the strawberry croissant, chocolate filled bun and sea salt matcha latte. The service is quick, so try to do some research on what you want before you get there so you don't miss out on any yumminess. The bakery is clean and well organized, new items are always coming out from the back so never fear if you look in the case and your favorite is missing. The prices are high, but the quality is unmatched.

Finally got to try the famous Okayama Kobo Bakery. We came on a Saturday at 3:30 pm and there was a line out the door, but it went by pretty quickly. The inside is very small, so it's more of a quick buy and go kind of bakery. The breads all looked so good and cute. We tried the salt and butter roll and the banana cream matcha latte. The roll was nice and sweet, I wish it came fresh out of the oven hot. I feel like it would've made the texture a bit better, but that's just my preference. I really enjoyed the cream on the banana cream matcha latte. The banana flavor really shined through. The matcha itself was pretty standard, but overall a refreshing drink to try. We will definitely be back to try the other assortments of bread that they have to offer!

Big fan and regular customer! Food (5/5). My friends and I love their savory and sweet goods equally. Big fan of the fish fillet, regular and spicy curry buns, and the chocolate emoji. I love that they have a steady set of goods while always introducing something new. Service (5/5). Staff are very helpful and accommodating. They keep the baked goods fresh and as plentiful as possible. When something runs out, you may have to wait 20 minutes for it to be ready, which can be a bummer while also completely reasonable given how popular this place has become. Ambiance (4.5/5). Cute café with sparse outdoor seating. A bit out of their control and more to do with the whole plaza. If street parking is tight, head to the garage right next door where there's free 2-hour parking!

I had to come here after trying this place in Honolulu. I was so happy to hear they had more locations in California. I was nervous about making it here on time since they closed at 4. I managed to get there at 3:50 and they were taking orders and were kind despite me coming in super late. I got the banana matcha latte and it was delicious! I just love their banana pudding and how it mixes so well with the matcha. I highly recommend trying it.

Came here on a Sunday and there was a line out the door about an hour before closing. We waited around 15 minutes outside and maybe another 7 inside. I don't know if the wait would be worth it. We came here specifically for the banana matcha and it was just okay. The drink was topped with banana crème instead of having a layer of foam like I expected. It also said it had banana syrup in the drink which I did not really taste. I think it would have been better with more foam, the matcha itself was a little watery. The chocolate pastry was good but the croissant was a little dry. Overall the drinks and pastries were good but just average, I wouldn't say the wait is worth it.

Quite literally the best matcha I've had so far in my life, and for it to be under $6 in this economy is crazy! I tried the matcha rose latte and it was suchhhh a treat. The rose flavor was very subtle yet complimented the creamy matcha so well. The matcha flavor was strong but just right! This was one of those drinks that I had to resist chugging. I was so impressed by the drinks, I came back the next day and tried their banana cream matcha. Even better! It's definitely sweeter than the matcha rose but who would've thought banana and matcha would go so well together?! and that's coming from someone who doesn't even like bananas. Tried a few pastries as well, including the strawberry croissant and cheesy hot dog. Both were good but I was more impressed by the drinks. The shop is quite small with basically no seating. Very cute and cozy. The workers were nice & were pretty quick with orders. I hear there's usually a line but we got lucky both times we went!

I decided to try this spot out on for the first time on a Friday morning around 9am and waited about 15 mins for a drink and a croissant. The line was just outside the door when I arrived, but the employees were nice & efficient so it went by pretty fast. Their banana cream matcha latte + strawberry milk cream croissant were to die for! They had so many other delicious items available, I'll definitely be going back to try others.

Actually fantastic and lives up to the hype! I was skeptical as they were known for such basic breads, but one bite in and I knew it held up to their reputation! Soft, warm and delicate breads with delicious matcha style drinks!

Went it because of the viral videos, the banana match is always great. I feel though the quality has gone down a bit the last couple times, but i still always come back. All of their pastry's are always delicious

Super cute bakery in Anaheim! We stopped by after getting our marriage license and saw this on yelp to try. The bakery is so cute and is split in to a coffeeshop and bakery on each side. The staff are young but helpful whenever I asked them what they would recommend and why. i was super excited to see they had a strawberry croissant similar to Cream Pan's because I wanted to get some as a gift. Theirs is really good too with less cream filling, which I actually prefer! Their spicy curry bun,matcha mochi and emoji buns were very good. I think the one I'm not a fan of is the mentaiko and probably bc I had it a couple days later refrigerated. It was very salty (as it should) but didn't balance right with me. We also got a matcha matcha sea salt cold brew which was pretty good too! I would say the pastries are on the pricier side so I would make this a special occasion thing. Overall I would come back again to try other items and get the strawberry croissants again for gifts if i'm in the area! Parking is super abundant and location is very convenient
