Aio Coffee Shop in Koreatown

I’ve always passed by this strip mall on 6th Street and thought it was AJO.

Nope, it’s AIO Coffee Shop.

The sign is actually not a blackboard, but a lighted contraption that blinks.

I caught it when it was flashing green, then pink. Cool ~

Paris Baguette’s 7 Summer Treats

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Click on the picture for a closer look at the prices. The Korean bakeshop Paris Baguette‘s summer theme: Cool Breeze

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.
