Yamazaki Bakery

A unique bakery with tasty treats that won't break your wallet. Found this bakery strolling through Little Tokyo. Notice typical sweet treats such as soft serve ice cream and various cakes. Yet they also serve unique snacks such as the "steam buns." The Steam Buns are worth a try. I tried the bun with the sausage filling and it was great. Unique snack that pairs well on a windy cold day. The bun aspect of the snack also felt light and not heavy like typical bread products. The Steam Buns run between $3-4. They are snack and if you looking for something more filling then I suggest you look elsewhere. No complaints with regards to the other sweets. The ice cream was on point and so was the strawberry roll cake. The strawberry roll cake tasted delicious and light. Fresh strawberries were a plus. Although there was a line during our visit, service was rather fast and friendly. I recommend visiting this bakery when you visit the Village in Little Tokyo.

I was walking around the Japanese Village and the Steamed buns smelled good. I ordered one each of the An Man (sweet red beans), Niku Man (pork & veggie), Pizza Man (pepperoni & corn), and Taco Man (beef & veggie). The An Man was overly sweet. The other flavors were forgettable. There are other pastries, breads, and cakes for sale. Service was quick. It is quaint bakery, no dine-in, there’s bench with gazebo for outside dining. Spend $10+ for card purchases and they give 1 hour parking validation.

Friendly, welcoming staff. We were indecisive, but accepted recommendations for ordering. Large variety of desserts and some savory items. All fresh and great quality. We will return soon!

Went in to buy just enough food for the 1 hour parking validation, but I was pleasantly surprised by their baked goods. The strawberry roll cake was light and airy with thick, decadent, full whipping cream. I was worried that the bakery would be using the inferior imitation whipped topping so common amongst asian bakeries, but this was delicious, true dairy cream. The bakery looks very unassuming, but the quality is undeniable.

I loved the steamed Bao bun called AN-Man (sweet bean) & Veggie bun. This caramel cream (mochi) puff tastes yummy.

We stopped in this cute bakery for a couple of small snacks. We had a Melon Pan and Cream Pan. Both were very good.

super cute bakery that sells delicious treats! the baked goods are very affordable, and the staff are super kind. highly recommend ANY of the steamed buns and desserts with fresh strawberries! overall, 5/5 stars <3

What a find, I was in DTLA for a wedding and needed a snack. At Yamazaki, my first ever Japanese bakery, I ordered a jalapeno dog, a Curry roll and a latte. All were preferable but the Curry roll was the standout. Delicious, not spicy, I want another. Cost for the three items was a total of $11, great deal for downtown LA.
