Breakfast at Paris Baguette in Koreatown

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Was waiting for the light to change so I could walk across Western Avenue when I spotted this in the window of Paris Baguette behind me.

Breakfast at Paris Baguette

Coffee and Croissant for A Dollar and 90 Cents!

Isn’t that a great deal? That’ll get you inside. But they do have other goodies like kastera, sweet-potato rolls and sandwiches. They even have Welch’s grape juice!

As you can see in the reflection, HK Super is right across the street. Inside the supermarket, Bosco Cake Salon has a small counter that also sells Western-style pastries like kastera, sweet-potato rolls and soboro. Slightly cheaper, but you do pay for the ambience at PB.

Paris Baguette's 7 Summer Offerings

무더위에 파리바게뜨의 COOL SUMMER 7 과 함께하세요

1. Fruit Shaved ice, 2. Green Tea Shaved Ice, 3. Iced Coffee, 4. Strawberry Smoothie, 5. Green Tea Frappe, 6. Fruit Cup Shaved Ice, 7. Green Tea Cup Shaved Ice. The smoothie and iced coffee go for around $2.50, while the frappe and shaved ice in tall plastic cups are priced at around $3.50. The large dishes of patbingsu will set you back $7.50.

What I can commend as new / novel about Paris Baguette’s offerings is the inclusion of Green Tea in the Korean ice treat (“dessert”) Patbingsoo, which traditionally consists of just shaved ice and red beans.
