Yasukochi's Sweet Stop

My boyfriend and I finally got a chance to stop by here together since the hours of this bakery are a bit funky! They're only opened Wednesday to Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm. I remember trying this place a few years ago and think of it from time to time because of how delicious their sweets/ pastries are! When we were ordering, my boyfriend said "so.. I don't want to share.." which suggested we will be each getting a cake which was fine by me haha. We both ordered their Signature Coffee Crunch Cake :) and it's forsure my favorite item on their menu. The description of the cake - very light and fluffy sponge coffee cake with whipped cream embedded between layers along with "honeycomb-like" coffee candy sprinkled around the outside of the cake. The cake is def better when served chilled. This place is cash only and located inside Super Mira Market in the heart of Japantown! The market was overseen by a sweet lady and I believe the cake usually sells out fairly early but we were able to snatch a few slices when we were there around 12 pm on a Saturday!

A San Francisco classic. This coffee crunch cake is a favorite. A light, eggy castella sponge layered with whipped cream and coffee crunch candy.Cash only, to the right when you enter Super Mira Market. No seating - a take out only place. They sell out of slices, but do yourself a favor and order a full cake in advance!

The crunch cake!!! Ahhhhh They're famous for it and good reason. Are their hours limited? Yes? Do I get mad when I remember I have to have cash? Yes...But all that melts away with the first bite of the cake always somehow better than I remember. The market it's in is cute too and good for picking up some Japanese snacks or prepared food.

I purchased their coffee crunch cake for my birthday and I have no regrets. It is so good, crunch, spongy, and the perfect amount of sweetness. I rarely eat cake so I'm glad this one was amazing. All of my friends enjoyed it as well, and I can't wait to get more next time. The staff let me know how to store it while transporting it to Lake Tahoe. It was delicious and I'm sure even better when fresh!

Got a slice of coffee cake. Enjoyed the crunch of the pieces of the coating on the cake. Cake itself seems to be vanilla with vanilla buttercream. Good but pretty basic with the exception of the crunchy coating, which was good. Reminds me of the honeycomb candy bits. Service was friendly. Location inside a grocery store so it took me a minute to figure that out. Cash only. Preorder required for a full cake.

Their crunch cake was incredibly moist, fluffy, and had just the right amount of sweetness. Every bite was delightful! I'd definitely recommend this place and will be coming back for more.

Yasukochi's Sweet Shop is highly rated, especially for their coffee crunch roll cake but for some reason it was average at best for me personally. It was a little too sticky for my liking. However, to each his or her own and if you're in SF visiting might as well check it off the bucket list.

Read amazing review's about this cute sweets counter and knew I had to swing by! Located in Super Mira grocery store, Yasukochi's is a small and unassuming little bakery but has very yummy treats! They're famous for their coffee crunch cake and it definitely didn't disappoint. They have whole cakes as well as slices, which sell out pretty quickly. This place is so well known that my friends from the east coast that are familiar with SF stuff have even heard about it and have requested I take them when they visit. Would highly recommend!

I have to start this review by saying: I don't like cake! I never have liked cakes. I never understood why people like cakes. Well, after having the coffee crunch cake, I love cakes. This cake is beyond belief! It is so tender and so delicate. You cannot believe the flavor. My brother in law went and got it for us for Christmas after I had told him that I watched a tv show about how the Japanese man and woman who started it were very old. The wife has died and the man is getting too old to keep the Japanese Family Owned Bakery that is located in Japantown at the Super Mira Market. The shop is now being run by the grandson I think it is. So my brother in law went and got the cake. he shop is only open W-Sat. 10-4. Cash only. It is so worth it. You have to try it. it is layers of delicate cake, whipped cream, and that incredible outer crunch. Check out my video on YouTube so you can see it live. https://youtu.be/HN68xa2pbbY

Come early, a long line forms around 10:15am -- or, within 15 minutes of opening. A reminder: let's keep it demure! To the ladies in front of me: You don't have any business pre-ordering 2 cakes and also buying 12 slices of the precious cakes, considering the long line behind you. The woman behind the counter knows what I'm talking about -- I saw that deeply warranted side eye. Lastly, the flavors, the texture! We were there to pick up some slices for a visit to some friends. One slice each of coffee crunch, lemon crunch, chocolate crunch, and chocolate strawberry swirl. Each were total perfection, though I most recommend the coffee crunch.
