Cake Kobo

~~~Yuri’s Favorite Cheesecake Is Here~~~
~~~Oh & It’s Her Brother’s Fave Too!~~~
For those of you who can see my check-​ins on Unilocal,knows how much I love, Love, LOVE, the Soufflé Cheesecake from Cake Kobo. I’m not sure if this place still goes by the same name. It is located inside Nijiya Market in the City of Torrance, cross street of Van Ness Avenue and 182^nd St. There’s plenty of available parking spaces.
They have a good selection of airy French Japanese Pastries but there’s just something special about their cheesecake here. A combination of light, fluffy, dense, and not too sweet, with a bit of a gelatinous glaze on top! Mmm… so good! So good that it’s a must for one of my brothers and I to have it for our birthdays each year!
If you happen to be in my neighborhood, stop on by! I’m sure you won’t be disappointed!
Also, FYI –if you have a few additional items you’d like to purchase from Nijiya market, you can pay for them at the bakery register along with your dessert!

Cake Kobo is the bakery in the Nijiya Market and I love their products!
So far, I get the chocolate eclairs everytime, because they are so darn good, sold single and in multipacks, they are always fresh and perfectly baked, really like in France.
Less than $ 2 each is also the best price I have come across in LA, I’ll be back for more!

Im so a chesnut person, and the maroon (Chesnut) cake taste soooo gd! And they offers free birthday signs. It costs me $ 16 for a 6″ cake, and it is worth!

Cake Kobo is located in Nijiya Market and has some pretty good prices on Desserts, Cakes, and Pastries. There is also a Bakery section and an island with warm, premade Fried Foods.
Olivia Z. and I got a Napolean, Chocolate Éclair, and Strawberry Cream Puff for Dessert. I only tried the Éclair and Cream Puff. Both were exactly what I wanted. Sweet, creamy, and yummy. The full cakes looked tempting. If I needed a whole cake or fruit tart for a party, this would be an easy choice.
The bakery has individual and loaves of baked breads. We came late in the day and some of the more popular items were clearly sold out.
In the warm food section, they have Fried Chicken Kara-​age, Tempura Fry Pancakes, Croquettes, Katsu, and such. We split a Regular Croquette and a Pumpkin Croquette. She liked the pumpkin most while I enjoyed the regular more. Either way, we got a great deal, because we were there at exactly 8:00 p.m. when all the premade Fried Foods go on sale for 50% off. If you live close by, still haven’t figured out what is for dinner, and it is close to 8 p.m., there are probably fewer better deals than this ½ off one at Cake Kobo.
You can check out at Cake Kobo or at the main Nijiya registers. We ended up buying three different times and each time the ladies behind the counter at Cake Kobo were especially patient and helpful.
Cake Kobo is simple and convenient. Most days, that is exactly what you need.

I bought a small sized cake for about $ 13. It was more than I wanted to pay, but I was there and after fighting for parking (there is a church or a kind of religious building next door having an event) I was like why not? I haven’t seen a fruit cocktail/​mixed fruit cake in ages so I got one! The frosting was pink with a light strawberry flavor and the cake was vanilla and not too moist or thick — almost like sponge cake. Not to be partial — but I love Asian bakeries because their desserts are light and not sugar-​sickening. Like JJ’s or King’s you can eat a few slices without getting too full.
Next time, I will try the pear cake! They were out today. =(
This is in Nijiya market by their hot foods.

I’ve tried the Strawberry (my favorite) and the Chocolate cake. They are perfect!!! Very light and fluffy and not too sweet.

Home from NoCal and with Valentines Day on Tuesday I had to race to a card shop for a little something for extremely tolerant bride also picked up a small heart full of M&M’s for my precious new neighbor Hana, it means flower in Japanese and she is just 4 years old.
Later on Valentines day she came over with her Mom Seiko with a box from this bakery stuffed with two Cream Puffs and fruit, obscene!
We ate them for breakfast, nothing like a sugar rush to start your day…

I don’t know what you were thinking when I have asked for «Napoleon cake» and this Kobo place came in the first place. because: 1– there no napoleon cake in this bakery. and 2 the cakes there are like anywhere else — nothing special

Located in Nijiya Market, this is a great place to pick up hospitality desserts and special treats.
They have a lot of delicious cakes, pies, and assorted pastries here.
I love their cakes topped and filled with yummy fresh fruits!
They also serve fresh coffee, and there is a small eating area for you to enjoy your sweet treats, or, if you purchase any of their hot foods too!

The Napoleon Cake was sooooooooo yummy!
All their desserts are good! Not too sweet, but just right! I don’t think you’ll be able to walk into their bakery, but you will be able to find their stuff at Japanese grocery stores. ;p
