It is two korokke with tonkatsu sauce nestled in a sandwich roll. Just imagine two korokke inside a larger hot dog bun with lettuce, cucumber and tomato. It tastes like seasoned deep fried mashed potatoes. I believe it is a lunch item so maybe you were too early? Did you see any tonkatsu sandwiches or yakisoba pan?

Hi @A5KOBE @bulavinaka,
I have to try Korokke Pan now! 
Thanks.
I did see a Tonkatsu Sandwich (so tempting). We didn’t see the Yakisoba Pan! 
Is it good?
I like it but it may be one of those things that’s lost on you if you didn’t grow up with it like JiB tacos
Pick up a bag or two of their whole wheat sliced bread. Stick it in your freezer immediately. Delicious, soft bread that is great for pb&j sandwiches or toast. My kids won’t eat any other bread and I’ve tried about 5-7 other brands.

Orange Brioche?
Tell me more!
@Happybaker it looks more like a scone than brioche, but it’s a buttery pastry that’s covered in a lovely orange glaze with flecks of orange zest. Great with tea or coffee…or by itself in the car before you hit the freeway because you got your order to go.

Ditto. I usually inhale whatever pastry(ies) I buy that day before I hit Newport Ave. Getting out of the car at your destination with all those crumbs can be a little embarrassing.

@js76wisco Keep a napkin on your lap and one as a bib…and all will be well 
The strawberry croissant is the only thing I won’t eat in the car because the powdered sugar can get challenging…good thing my house is only 20 mins up the freeway from there.

Curry Pan!
One of the best sellers in Japan. Filled with delicious Japanese Curry, with a nice crunch from the topping.
Damn it I just saw the microwave by the trash/coffee station.
Butter and Salt Roll
Wow! Sprinkles of salt on top with a butter filling with a tinge of sweet.
Free drink with a $5 purchase. Coffee is by Groundwork.
I been here for 10 minutes and I seen/heard nothing but Japanese customers.
Bang bang dessert at Cream Pan if you want, to hit up both and take home to your mansion in LA

wow, that last picture with the karaage chicken coppe pan, and yakisoba coppe pan.
Thanks @JeetKuneBao. It looks promising, but did you mean that you had to microwave your pastries before eating? (because the curry pan was cold?) That’s unfortunate.
I’ve heard unreliable rumblings that the Cream Pan folks might be opening up shop in Fountain Valley. Does anyone know anything about this? I trust this group way more.
that curry pan is making me drooooool. I’m from Tokyo, I miss the variety and wonder of Japanese bakeries. That said, I never go for the French pastries there (i.e. croissants), I go for the Japanese ‘hybrid-breads’ which are always so yummy, things like corn/scallion bread, breads with black bean filling, etc.

This news is highly relevant to my interests although I do like going out to Tustin because I can grab coffee at Kean!
This makes Fountain Valley the place to be for potlucks! Get your Cream Pan and Brodards!!!

Don’t forget your Malasadas from Paderia. Although the times I’ve gotten them they were warm. Might not be as good a couple hours later.
Paderia is expanding to Irvine and LA.

They are also making Portuguese egg tarts now. If anybody tries them please report back.

I started a new job 12 blocks from the Cream Pan in Fountain Valley. Much bigger space and they have all of the same pastries and goodies as Tustin. I walked in this morning at 8:10am and there was literally no line. 3 other people in the place total. I hope they are busy and doing well.
