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.

Telephone Number: (323) 467-0404
Staffed in front by bilingual Korean-American teens.

팥 (paht) are red beans, and 빙수 (bingsoo) refers to the shaved ice on which the beans are placed. Milk is drizzled on, and other toppings are added such as ice cream, strawberries, kiwi, bananas, cereal flakes…
