Hamada-ya Bakery

Came here for their famous «Boloniya» Danish Toast (there’s really nothing Danish about it). Amazing! It’s a totally unique bread, made by folding layers on layers of dough with LOTS of butter in between. Very much like a croissant, but it’s a toast. The result is an incredibly fluffy bread with a rich, buttery interior that just melts in your mouth. It’s so good you can just eat it plain. Whatever you use it for, whether that’s a sandwich, buttered toast, or eggs benedict, just becomes otherworldly. It’s not cheap at $ 5 for 6 slices, but absolutely worth it.
Unfortunately though, I wasn’t too impressed with their other breads. I tried 3 traditional sweet buns and found really high quality fillings, but very dense and inelastic base breads that just felt under-​kneaded to me. Each bun was also really expensive for the size. Bleh.
Koshi-​an pan ($ 1.80) — very small for the price. Red bean paste is smooth like butter, as expected for koshi-​an, and not too sweet. Really good stuff but the bread has issues.
Cream pan ($ 1.80) — very small for the price. Custard cream is eggy, thick, and perfectly creamy with well-​balanced sweetness. Some of the best custard cream I’ve had but the bread still has issues.
Melon pan ($ 1.80) — interesting, my first time having melonpan from a Japanese bakery. The crust is literally a sugar cookie, and very thick compared to the Chinese/​Taiwanese versions of this. Not bad but again, the bread is still too dense and tears apart easily.
The only stall in Mitsuwa that accepts credit card!

Got some dessert here after eating at the food court inside the market. Grabbed a cream puff and boy was it extra creamy… it was a bit overwhelming on the cream.

I came to realize there aren’t that many good bakeries. Paris Baguette is one of the Korean franchise in the area I used to stop by whenever I happen to be around the area, but I only recently got to know of this small bakery. I have not tried all of their offerings, but I can say I tried most of them on the side where Crispy Crème sits including but not limited to Melon Pan, Crème Pan, Red Bean (Forgot what it was called in Japanese) Pan, and more. (Pan means Bread)
All of their breads taste fresh so I think they bake them the same day (correct me if I am wrong). Breads are also not too sweet which is a plus for me.
If you like any kind of custard cremes, try Crispy Crème or Crème Pan and you will not be disappointed. My personal favorite however goes to Crispy Crème. Bite away and inside you won’t see the pan filled with crème, but rather scattered on the inner «wall» of the pan for the Crispy Crème. Crème is not overpowering and is just enough.
Next time I will try some of their more delicate desserts on the left side which looked delicious!

Hamada-​ya Bakery is near the hot food section of the grocery inside Mitsuwa. Unfortunately, the selection was pretty disappointing. I was here around 3pm the other day and did not feel intrigued by what looked like left over pastries from this morning. There were egg sandwiches, «French pizza» buns, slices of cake, and an assortment of savory pastries that had corn on them. In the end, I just asked for three Melon Pan.
I can’t say it was great, but I can’t say it was not tasty either. Overall, it’s a typical/​average melon pan. It’s large, not too sweet, and had a generous sprinkling of sugar all over it. Does it smell good? Of course. Soft and tastes fresh? Yes. Would I buy them again? Only if the selection isn’t too great again. Try stopping by around lunch (or before); you might have more to choose from than I did.

This bakery is located inside the Mitsuwa next to the food court & inside the supermarket. The baked goods that they sell, they look really good. We didn’t try all of them. We just picked up a loaf of white bread. It’s a bit expensive. The bread were fresh & the service were good. The staff were very polite. If you’re in Mitsuwa, this bakery is definitely worth checking out.

Absolutely love this bakery in edge water. Their stuff is amazing. The raisin roll is to die for. Literally.

They used to have a wonderful chestnut cake… unfortunately no longer.
Bread and pastries, often sold out towards the end of the day.
Pieces of cake are slightly more expensive for a small slice ($ 5) but they are mostly pretty good — best when eaten there, though.

great place for japanese-​french style pastries. would say the cakes are good and the bread loaves and rolls on the shelves are excellent. some of the pastries are good, especially the ones with toppings like sausage and mayo corn, but some are a bit dry like the pain au raisin. but still much better then alot and i would even say comparable to the balthazar bakery nearby in englewood, NJ.

Has great cakes and pastries.
This shop is in Mitsuwa.

This bakery has been around in mitsuwa for a long time. I have been going here for quite some time and assumed they had tons of Unilocal reviews but was surprised this was not the case!
Anyway, they feature many fresh baked goods and good pastries. They are a little pricey but it is worth the price just like lady m’s mille crêpe cake. I’m not sure when the other Unilocal reviewer went there but they do accept card. I personally recommend the strawberry shortcake there!

Everything I’ve tried was fresh and authentic. They use quality ingredients to make cake, bread and pastries. There are fancy Korean bakeries in NYC and NJ but considering the value this is my go to place. The only thing I’d wish is to see some new items once for a while.

This is a very small bakery inside Mitsuwa Marketplace in Edgewater, NJ. When I say small, I seriously mean just a counter and a few shelves. Although it has a small selection, everything I’ve had is delicious and tastes like the bakery items I used to get in Japan.
Anytime I happen to be in the NJ/​NY area I try to make a point to take a stop at Mitsuwa, and I usually leave with over half of the melon pan and cream pan that they’ll have in the display.

Bought a loaf of shoku pan, cream pan and another mushroom looking pastry filled with delicious cream and red bean. Every thing was delicious especially the mushroom popover. Shoku pan, I thought was the best I’ve tasted just like I remember from japan.
Everything was much tastier than other Japanese bakeries I have tried in nyc. They did accept credit card. I can’t wait until I try their other offerings.

First off I used a debit card to pay… on a $ 4 order. While many things looked good I ordered a «Crispy Crème» and a «Curry Donut».
The Crispy Crème had a good almost Bavarian style filling (less sweet) the donut part may as well have been a hamburger roll. It had a soft spongy feel but wasn’t sweet at all. As such, completely disappointing.
The Curry Donut is hands down one of the greatest things I’ve ever eaten! I’ve been back twice (just to buy this) and both times they were out. Having trouble finding a beef curry!!! Not here… it’s piped into a delicious pastry. Much like other Japanese pastries this isn’t overly sweet but it is a bit and that helps compliment this. I scoffed at the cashiers suggestion to reheat this in the microwave and instead brought it home and put it in the toaster over on Warm for 10 minutes (flipping in between) YUM!!!

Hamada-​ya is a decent Japanese Bakery within Mitsuwa Marketplace. It’s small, but offers a variety of breads and pastries. It’s a little pricey and requires cash only.

This place replaced Yokohama St. Honore, which was also a bakery. They offer several kinds of sandwiches, but fewer kinds of cakes and sweet breads than St. Honore did (i.e., they don’t have the steamed mugwort cakes). I agree with the other reviewer that the prices are higher. It is cash only, same as St. Honore.

The «Boloniya» DANISH BREAD is the star of this bakery. It’s a cross between a croissant and a fresh loaf of bread — soft, fluffy, buttery, flakey, bready interior with a nice crusty exterior. It’s perfect lightly toasted by itself or with a bit of jam on top. It’s great for breakfast or as a snack or a side for every meal. I have to stop myself from eating the whole loaf in one day.
The only other item I’ve had here is the red bean bun which was from a fresh batch. Liked how it was so fresh.
Danish Bread, YUM.

Nice Savory Or Sweet Pastry Fresh Baked Bread Good Variety Of Sandwiches A Bit Pricey 3 ½ Stars Rounded Down Due To Pricing
At the site of the former Yokohama St Honore in the food court at Mitsuwa Marketplace Hamada-​ya Bakery is very similar to it’s predecessor in many ways. Cakes, donuts, croissants, muffins, breads and sandwiches all presented in a clean bright case. The pricing here has risen quite dramatically as in the case of the yakisoba dog, formally $ 1.80 now $ 3.00. This is something that was designed to be cheap, it’s very popular in Japan with college students on a budget.
The food is good however the pricing needs some work.
