The 25 Best Bakeries In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"A visit to Coin De Rue in Koreatown can go several ways, from grabbing a to-go box of yuzu sponge cakes and red bean sweet rolls to lounging with an iced dalgona coffee and eating said box of pastries. The odds of the second scenario increase if you order this Korean bakery's masterpiece: the green onion pesto loaf. This gigantic scored bread looks like a garlic knot fell into a vat of radioactive waste and mutated into the Hulk version of itself. It serves four people easily, with melted cheese, scallions, pesto oozing out of every crevice, and pomegranate seeds adding surprise bursts of sweetness. If you order this monster, bring friends—or a good book—because you'll be here a while." - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore, cathy park

21 Incredible Pastry Destinations and Bakeries in Los Angeles

"Coin De Rue is an escape. This is the place to meander back and forth and wonder if one can consume squid ink salt bread, milk cake, cheesecake, sesame buns, Hokkaido cake, green onion pesto garlic cream cheese bread, or cookies all in one sitting. Head upstairs and look out the massive window to watch the bustling pace of Koreatown while taking a bite." - Eater Staff

Our Favorite Bakeries In The Country Right Now

"LOS ANGELES Sweets like yuzu sponge cakes and red bean sweet rolls are easy to box up and take home at Coin De Rue in LA, but you’re more likely to house those pastries inside while nursing a dalgona coffee. This Korean bakery’s calling card is the green onion pesto loaf, a gigantic scored bread that looks like a garlic knot fell into a vat of radioactive waste and mutated into the Hulk version of itself. It serves four people easily, with melted cheese, scallions, pesto oozing out of every crevice, and pomegranate seeds adding surprise bursts of sweetness. You’ll want to carve out some time (and bring some friends) to best enjoy this gargantuan masterpiece. " - anne cruz

This was my second time in and there is always something new to try! It’s a small bakery and cafe, which is ideal for me because I feel a sense of comfort as I peruse the many options. I never feel rushed and the employees are always informative and patient with my many questions. There are lots of breads and flat croissants, lots of filled and swirled buns, crunchy and soft options, jammy and savory buttery options, coffees, smoothies, macarons, and cakes.

There are freshly baked cakes to view and it immediately smells amazing when you walk in. Lee was very kind and answered all of my questions. She even included colorful and numbered candles as a courtesy. I also purchased the heart macaroons. The chocolate fruit layered cake is light, favorful and fresh. The froot loop cookies bites are a must try.

Had to try the croissant tissue bread that's all the rage and it did not disappoint. The bread was super buttery and peeled off exactly like tissue paper. The crookie was a little disappointing because it was way too dry. Coffee was 5/5, I'd come back for more of the bread for sure.

This place was ADORABLE, parking was a bit odd but it's because this place is small and right in the middle of the block, easy to miss. Place to sit and eat was so cute, food was different and delicious. Heavy on the darker chocolate if you are a milk chocolate fan like me. What got me was the sheer amount of options I had never tried. Very unique, so go in with an open mind. They were out of a few options but I'm used to dessert places selling out early, so just get there early. The strawberries were HUGE. Going back to try the garlic honey toast.

Delicious places for a quick coffee or delicious pastry. I have this great strawberry ice cream /shaved ice. It was absolutely delicious and very light..or try the egg salad sandwiches. They have a wide variety of savory and sweet pastries you're gonna love. Parking was no too bad... I will be coming back.

Plenty of outdoor seating and limited indoor seating for hangouts or study sessions. On weekdays, there are plenty of bread options readily available. Highly recommend trying the cream buns or the trendy desserts like the dubai choco bun as they are usually limited. Came here mainly for the matcha red bean loaf and black seasme latte, and was disappointed in the loaf as it tasted sour. The sweet red beans were very tasty and would recommend grabbing their azuki buns instead. The black seasme latte left a granular taste in my mouth as the seasme settled to the bottom of the drink. Would opt for the corn latte instead.

I love their pastries! It's fresh and the bread is very delicious. I ordered the Korean famous spiral bread in Cheesy Jalapeño and boy it's so tasty! The dough is chewy and milky, the cheese and jalapeño tasted so good! Aside from these we ordered the flattened dubai chocolate croissant which is my favorite! I enjoyed munching this pastry! I love their unique creations and will definitely come back!

Another one of those overhyped bakeries from Tiktok :( Siru cupcake: 2/5. The lightness of the cream, freshness of the fruit, and yummy chocolate rum of the cake was good, but why was there SO MUCH CREAM? In fact, I would say that this was 85% cream and 15% fruit + cake. So sad how much potential this could've had. And at $12 too?? Dubai chocolate brownie: 0/5. Sorry, but this was the worst brownie of my life. Please just skip this. It was more of a dry bread with very minimal chocolate flavor. 2D dubai chocolate croissant: No rating because we returned this. After trying the dubai chocolate brownie, we did not want to try this! (Thanks for the amazing service from the team to let us return this!) 2D almond croissant: 4/5. This was the best thing we ordered, but I wish it was more crispy! Seemed to be slightly old, but flavor wise it was yummy with a generous amount of almonds. Matcha red bean mochi bread: 2.5/5. This was.... underwhelming. I was expecting some mochi (hence the name) and at least a bit of matcha flavor, but there was no mochi at all, no matcha flavor, and the red bean was a bit dry. It was a very standard piece of bread to me, nothing special. Service was very good. All the workers were so nice to explain how long to microwave the bread for and for letting us return the dubai chocolate brownie and the 2D dubai chocolate croissant. I've never returned food before in my life, but I was just so disappointed and sad that I felt like I had to :( Thank you to the team for understanding!

"Coin de Rue" (French) .. translated .. "street corner" (English) This bakery produces breads and pastries with a blend of European and Asian influences. The point is that I find a lot of western recipes to be heavy and very sweet. The baked goods here are lighter in both taste and texture. Not to promote their competition, but JJ Bakery, 85°C Bakery Cafe and Cream Pan Bakery are good points of reference. That said, this bakery has creations that you will not find at the other brands mentioned. A couple of notes: If you are looking for a landmark, The Original El Cholo restaurant is across the street from the plaza in which this business is located. The plaza in which this bakery-cafe is located has its own on-site parking. There is no need to look for street parking.

Went here yesterday for Father's Day cake I got three and was so excited and even got pastries from here!! The cake was amazing and soft and the pastries are always super yummy. When I got the cakes the young guy helped me and was so kind because I wasn't able to carry all by my self. Thank you!!! And the inside was so cute and nicely decorated. I don't mind the long drive from riverside to come here for special occasions :)

Their bread and pastries get sold quickly. I recommend to go here early so you can have more options. The bread and coffee I bought tastes really good and the bread was really soft. Service was quick and overall a very nice bakery and cafe. Hopefully I get to try their famous dessert with fruits if I get there early enough.

This place has a nice outdoor sitting. They have good variety of baked goods. Unfortunately, I have to agree with other reviewers.. The bread does not taste fresh. The tisyu bread, I was so excited when I saw it, but disappointed since the taste was just okay. The drinks were good and the service was okay. I won't be back.. competition is fierce. There are plenty other bakeries that have better bread.

Really solid pastries but not out of this world. I went home and air fried the sweet potato cream bread, and it made it taste sooo much better. I wish there was more sweet potato paste compared to the cream because it got super sweet, but from the name of it I should've expected. I'd like to try their other things, maybe a drink, to make a more accurate decision on whether or not I love this spot.

There were so many pastries to choose from! I wasn't too impressed with the pastries that I tried, but they're not bad. The sweet potato soboro paste was very sweet and filling. I liked the Dubai brownie but I'll admit it was just like a regular light brownie. The chestnut latte was really good because it tasted and felt like there were actual chestnuts in the drink. It's on the sweeter side so be warned. There's underground parking for the plaza and they have free wifi in the cafe so you can work.

We walked in here and saw all the beautifully baked items. They have both Korean and European pastries with some American goodies thrown in - Dubai chocolate, Dubai brownies. Dubai is still a hot theme! Each item is packaged well and merchandised nicely. However, it's a bit odd to me that there are no date stamps on any of them! The woman greeted us warmly. She was very helpful and even gave us a sample of the chewy chewy. Here's what we bought: Injulmi cream bun $3.75 - BUY THIS! Flattened croissant - can't remember $ - skip Brown sugar mochi toast $7 - skip Chewy chewy cookie (mango) $7 - skip We were disappointed with the toast bread. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. The woman suggested that we toast/heat it up. Just skip it. The chewy chewy reminded me of rice krispy treats without the rice krispy cereal. It just wasn't good. I think it might still be in the fridge, even 2 weeks later. Skip this too. The flattened croissant was just plain weird. I think we tossed after taking a few bites. Maybe it's better when it's covered in chocolate? Skip the plain one The injulmi cream bun was the only thing we really liked. The bun is okay but the injulmi powder and the cream was good. Service was great. Maybe we just ordered the wrong items?

Very awesome and trendy Korean bakery and cafe!! They have a wide selection of bread/pastries, and sandwiches. They also sell beautiful cakes and awesome coffee and smoothies! The service is super great here! Min was helping me out and he was very friendly and made my black sesame latte with a lot of attention and care! He needs a raise for how hard he works! The ambiance is really nice and chill in here and you can relax here and have a good time with family and friends. Thank you for the great experience! Will be back soon! Really recommend this place to everyone!

Was genuinely excited for the goodies here, but ended up tossing everything after 1 bite/sip. Maybe I chose the wrong pastries and drink. They pride themselves on using ingredients from Hokkaido but it's really hard to believe. I want my $20 back.. matcha/red bean bread rice pastry? jujube & cinnamon tea

Tried the viral tissue bread that we saw on instagram Very cozy cafe Lots of pastries even more so than the other coin de rue bakery location which i think is because this is the original one where the owner still works Minus star because i wanted to try the salt bread but there was a fly in the case buzzing around the bread and it was not individually wrapped in plastic

The bakery name sounds interesting that my friend thought it was a laundromat. We went at around 9pm but there were still many pastries left. The upstair area is huge with private rooms. People come to study here. The place is so nice. The staff is also so nice. They offered to store our order in the fridge so they stay cool. We ordered an injeolmi shaved ice but it wasn't good. The shaved ice tasted like ice without any milky flavor. This is the worst Korean shaved ice I have ever had and I have tried many places.

Yelp
Very disappointing experience. My friend and I took a bite of each of the warm pastries and threw them all away. The breads were dense, dry, and stale. Each of them lacks a lot of flavor. And even when the cream cheese ones, that's all you can taste But was also very greasy. Definitely not fresh and I don't know how long it's been there and reheated and even so, I don't think it'll taste very good even when fresh compared to many other bakeries in LA. For the cold, I got a sesame cream bun and the bread was really dry dense and slate as well. The sesame cream was really dense and dry and lacked flavor. For drink, we got ginger tea and it was way too sweet and unpalatable. :(

The pastries and baked goods looked better than they tasted sadly. Everything was very dense and dry. The one we did enjoy was the garlic cheese corn bread, that had the most flavor.

Chestnut latte is very sweet and doesn't taste nutty. So not recommended. Special matcha latte is way too green for real authentic matcha and it formed paste on the bottom. So difficult to drink. Both Paste won't dissolve until I transfer the drink to a bottle and shake very hard Dubai 2D croissant is pretty good .

Absolutely loved my visit to Coin de Bakery in Koreatown! This charming spot perfectly blends Asian-inspired flavors with classic French pastries--and the results are incredible. The black sesame latte and chestnut latte are must-tries--rich, unique, and so comforting. Every pastry I tried had just the right balance of creativity and tradition. The service was warm and welcoming, and you can really feel the love and care the family owners put into everything they do. Highly recommend this gem--it's a beautiful experience from start to finish! The ambience is really cute with a beautiful outdoor garden.

In my 4 years of college at UCLA, this is easily my number 1 choice for best study cafe. THEY HAVE FREE PARKING (1 hour street, and a small parking plaza) at least during the day when we went. Drinks are yummy and priced fair, like around $6. Bottom floor is a bakery that has delicious bread&cakes and they also sell korean quick foods. Got the dutch einspanner and vanilla cream cold brew, both amazing. Second floor is spacious with couches, long tables, smaller circular tables, low tables, high tables, and a couple of big booths for big groups to study. Lots of outlets as well with quick free wifi. Bathroom is nice and smells good and has this cool light that comes out of the sink. Music is soft piano versions of popular songs, beautiful vibe for studying and the place is very quiet. Perfect to lock in and get some grinding done, not too much for yapping/online meetings- you'd ruin the vibe. This place is a hidden gem and I will take this place 10 out of 10 times to study at.

Really yummy cakes! You can always call ahead and ask what cakes they have available for the day and pick one up for someone's special birthday! They have a strawberry cakes that's super delicious and not very sweet. The service is always good, everyone was nice. I will definitely come back again for pastry's and more!

I got the korean salt bread and tuna sandwich. The salt bread was good, but standard. Just good! I do have other places that make salt bread that I prefer than here. The tuna sandwich was way too mayo-y. Note - no toilets, parking lot is small as with most places in LA

A little FYI. It's bit confusing since there are two places in ktown with the same name - but completely different (owners and also items sold). The pictures featured for the two floor study area is the other place. This one though does have a very impressive line of bakery goods (more unique than most ktown bakeries) you can find a range of breads, sandwiches (they even sold the infamous "idol sandwich), "2d" croissants, and trendy dubai chocolate items. There is still space if you want to do work. I did work outside and it wasn't that bad. They have free parking located in a garage basement for 2 hrs. The entrance to turn may be a little difficult and tight

I would have given them a 5 star rating just for the variety of baked goods that they had available. Unfortunately I didn't really care for their sesame latte which I was told was their most populace drink. Maybe it was just off that day? One of the added plus was their free underground parking and available seating which included some outdoor seating. I would go back just for their baked goods and try some of their other drinks.

Okay, a few things to speak up about here. On instagram, people post videos and rave about their mochi bread. They had 3 types when I went this weekend, brown sugar, mochi mochi, and red bean matcha mochi. Unfortunately, to my dismay, this bread does not contain any mochi whatsoever. The texture is light and fluffy, but nothing about it is mochi-like even in consistency. Don't buy the mochi bread thinking that it will have mochi, it most likely will not. The bread is fine, but just normal bread. The tissue bread is also more of a croissant cube and not so much a dramatic, truly peel-able tissue bread. The service however, is impeccable. The woman behind the counter was very kind and offered tips on how to reheat the bread, which I appreciate. Bakery itself is cute, and there's a parking lot that makes it more convenient as well. They also have an interesting variety of bread, but all in all, it's cute, but not anything truly noteworthy as people rave it is online.

I'm so happy I came across this bakery via Yelp, or else I would have never known!! There are so many unique Japanese pastries, and they had the cutest cakes on display. I ordered a bunch of pastries, but my favorites were the hot dog buns, the potato + sweet potato mochi bun, and corn cheese bun! We purchased a rainbow cake for my nephews birthday, and it was perfectly not too sweet! I would compare it to a light cream cake with not too much frosting.

Korean bakery offering an impressive selection of individually wrapped sweet and savory breads, pastries, cakes, sandwiches, and more. They also make whole cakes, have an espresso bar with Korean teas and specialty drinks, and bingsu. Despite being located on a loud, busy street (Western), the cafe feels like a peaceful escape. I loved the soft, fluffy Corn Bun, whose milk bread base was filled with silky creamy cheese and topped with grilled corn. The Sweet Potato Bonne Pie had delicate, flakey pie-like layers, enrobing rich purple sweet potato puree. The Anko Butter Saboro was better than the sum of its parts: red bean paste, a thick pat of butter, and sugar encrusted bread. Every item was delicious. I also enjoyed their Sweet Potato Latte, which was rich in purple sweet potato flavor, and not overly sweet. The elderly woman working was lovely, especially when I spoke to her in Korean. This place is an absolute gem.

Yelp
Wow. I don't know how this place has such good ratings... did the ownership change? Did we come on a bad day? We ordered tissue bread, strawberry mochi bread, garlic cream cheese bread, 2D croissant, cream bread, & some chocolate bun. The tissue bread was dry and doesn't pull apart like it's supposed to. Tasted like a cross between white bread and a dry croissant. Strawberry mochi bread just tastes like white bread and barely any strawberry flavor. I liked the light texture of it though. Garlic cream cheese... the bread was hard and crunchy like it was over toasted? And cream cheese was sweet. 2d croissant would've been way better if it had a sugar glaze. Thought the cream bread would be better since it's a classic Korean pastry. Was wrong. Our hot matcha latte was so gritty. The wild berry matcha latte tasted like bad matcha with jam.

The display case showcases an array of exquisite treats, from fluffy pandan cake and custard-filled buns to colorful mochi and delicate almond cookies, each crafted with meticulous care. The friendly staff, always ready with a warm smile, make every visit feel personal, offering recommendations and engaging in lighthearted conversation. With its mouthwatering pastries and comforting vibe, the bakery is a sweet haven for anyone seeking a little joy in their day. I am a sucker for cute sweets and this was the perfect place.

Coin De Rue Bakery & Cafe is a modern, charming Japanese Bakery in K-Town offering a wide variety of delicious breads, pastries, desserts and drinks. They also have a selection of savory items like sandwiches and salads. The ambiance is like stepping into a minimalist dreamscape - Chic, uncluttered and Instagram-able. I got to try the Black Sesame Cream Bun and the Red Bean Mochi which came in a 3-Pack. Let's talk: BLACK SESAME CREAM BUN: Dark, mysterious, and bursting with sesame goodness, the Black Sesame Cream Bun has a black sesame coated exterior and a dual piping of velvety whipped cream and black sesame filling within. RED BEAN MOCHI: Pillowy soft, chewy perfection. Get them! I was definitely tempted to get their Black Sesame iced latte but it would have been my second one in less than an hour! I'll be dreaming of that, along with the Sweet Potato Bun and the Egg Salad Sando until next visit! You can definitely tell that freshness and quality are a priority here. Service was on point, prices are very reasonable, and there's plenty of parking and outdoor seating! Highly recommend!

Lots of fun pastries to choose from here! They had crookies (croissant/cookies), huge madelines, Dubai chocolate croissants, taro buns, and so much more. I decided to get the signature green onion pesto bread and sweet corn bread. I loved the green onion bread - I heated it in the air fryer and it had mayo/cheese/corn inside. It was so good, the bread crisped up and was so buttery and flaky. The sweet corn bread was also yummy, reminded me of a thicker cake. Fun place to check out and I love the fact that the chef is the owner.

I really want to like this place but I guess my drink is just disappointing. I got the sweet potato latte as promoted as their signature and seasonal drink. The picture shows a swirling-marble yellowish latte but when I received it was more of an ube latte (I'm guessing because the drink is purple), but I take it anyway because I love ube. Now, by every measurement, I'm a really easy going customer because I don't really know the differences between any kind of drink, so if your drink is OK or mid, I'd still come back; but this latte is just really really bland. It doesn't taste like anything, not even milk, or coffee, or powdered ube; none of the ingredients in my drink taste like anything. The ube powder is also not dissolved completely in my drink so it's kinda grainy. I haven't tried any of their pastry, but it looks yummy and lots of them are incorporated or Dubai chocolate inspired. The cashier lady is also the one who makes my drink, she seems sweet and very nice. The parking is small but they have a garage underground. Inside is also very small, but I think it's cozy. The drink is only $5 and the price on menu is already taxed, which I think is convenient and cheap compared to other cafes, but I don't think I want to come back.

Just on a whim my GPS found this spot on the way to the freeway. Like a hidden little gem if you don't know the area, the prices were very good. That's why I'm leaving this review on top of that. My Matcha iced latte quality is good and very delicious. I never get Matcha. Just tried it for once and I got real mochi which I'm excited to try!

very cute bakery set up with plenty of pastries to choose from. inside seating was limited but cozy and there was also lots of outdoor seating to choose from. the baristas were very friendly and helpful. + dalgona coffee: came with dalgona candy sprinkled on. perfect sweetness. i only wish it had a foam topping. + curry croquette: curry filling was very standard and good. flavor of the bread was slightly sweet but could have used more crunch. + corn latte: i was off put by the corn/coffee combo but my friend liked it more than i did. studied here for a bit. it was a little loud outside because it's right next to the street but overall very cute and welcoming small business. yay

i got the small green onion and pesto Shio bread. I thought it wouldn't be filling but it actually was! it's was super delicious, you can definitely taste the green onion. If you're a green onion fan this is a good choice! The staff was very kind, i'm not sure if they are family, but they feel like family! You can feel it in the air here. It was super sweet. The real seller for me is the price point! I was extremely impressed at the price point of their pastries. People seem to love this place because I saw multiple customers buy loads of pastries! The outdoor seating is absolutely gorgeous too, and there's a small parking garage below. Great experience!

Items are sort of pricey, but they're a small business so this makes sense. Compared to say 85°, they're more expensive. Everything we ordered was great though. NOT TOO SWEET. We also ordered their 6 inch cake and it was light. The 2D croissant isn't amazing but it's yummy and something novel. I'd go back. Oh also the cashier who helped us out (Alice) and answered all our questions was very friendly. I sort of wish they made more mochi options but overall a nice experience. Would go back if I find myself in K-Town again.

We mainly went to try their mochi red bean matcha bread. It was ok. I can't really tell what part of it is mochi-like. It looks nicer than it tastes. Their matcha is interesting. It has a noticeable floral aftertaste that was also present in the matcha latte. They have a lot of other "trendy" baked goods available as well like tissue paper bread, Dubai based goods, croissant cookies, etc. I got the Dubai choco pie, but it was super dry with very little filling. Otherwise there are lots of seats, a clean interior, and friendly staff. There is limited parking above and underground.

Came across this little Korean bakery in Ktown. They have free underground parking in their plaza which is great in LA! When checking out, I saw a poster for a pressed croissant and had to get it. The croissant was super flaky, crispy, and HUGE! It comes with a little cup of cream which gives it a nice touch. I also tried a grilled corn bread which was packed with creamy filling. They also have wifi here to do work or study. They have seating indoor and outdoors but more outdoor space. Would definitely come back here to try their other pastries!

The bread is so good and the employees there are super kind. Variety of bread and sandwiches. I have to say I haven't found one that I didn't like. Place is clean and the bread choice has plenty. I stopped coming here for awhile because the owner treats the employees so bad and once I heard they curse at them. It's sad that quality of the food is good but the quality of the owner is you know what. If you're looking for a food bread place go here

There are freshly baked cakes to view and it immediately smells amazing when you walk in. Lee was very kind and answered all of my questions. She even included colorful and numbered candles as a courtesy. I also purchased the heart macaroons. The chocolate fruit layered cake is light, favorful and fresh. The froot loop cookies bites are a must try. The Siru cake was perfect for my mom's birthday and I can't wait to return to try more treats.

Parking is a $4 valet for the parking lot otherwise you need to find street parking. I heard about this cafe a while ago as a study spot so I was really excited to come and try it. I ended up getting their carrot cake slice. It was good, but not great - to be honest, I don't think there was anything particularly special about it. I do really like their seating area and ambiance. The bakery is below and then you go up the stairs for the area to eat. We went on a Thursday afternoon and it was pretty quiet so I feel like this would be a good study spot. I would consider coming here again to try something different.

I had their green onion bread many times before but this time it had an off taste so called to tell them but the lady just persistently kept saying that it wouldn't be and that we just didn't heat it up to eat it. When we didn't heat it up when we ate it before. I recommended this place to many other people but not anymore.

I had never heard of Coin De Rue before. In the pantheon of Korean bakeries Coin de Rue didn't even pop up on the radar. If it wasn't for someone who mentioned the Coin De Rue and how good the 'Mammoth bbang' I wouldn't have gone there for her. I pulled into the lot and walked in and looked around for this Mammoth bbang and after doing a couple laps couldn't find it but did find a lot of other items that drew my interest and appetite. Someone actually came by to ask if I needed help and I asked if she had Mammoth bbang. She pointed out huge loaves of with fruit and cream sandwiched inside it, with a sign that said Mammoth bread. I should have realized what it was but it was an accent issue. I bought two loaves as a gift but then my stomach started growling so I decided on one of the sausage croquettes and I saw the green onion bread and figured they'd be good together. I was right and wrong. The flavors of both complemented each other for sure but the green onion bread dwarfed the croquette so I had some left over for later-after I woke up from my carb crash.

I NEVER post on yelp. But this is unacceptable. I literally ate mold. We went this morning before 10am, expecting fresh baked bread with fresh ingredients. NOPE. MOLD was in the red bean paste.

I was really looking forward to my visit here... unfortunately, several key areas were bad. A bakery should not have raw dough in their products. The coffee was extremely watered down. See the pictures for yourself. I recommended this place to my friends and we visited late in the evening on a Saturday, about 45 minutes before closing. We all bought baked goods and drinks. In hindsight, minus a few popular items, they had a good amount of baked goods on display, which should have been the first red flag. First, the iced americano. I have never had a coffee drink where it was watered down to this level. I thought about asking for another shot but decided not to, for several reasons (I was with a party, it was near closing, etc). But, man, can't believe I paid $3.75 for what was essentially iced water. I tried to understand, as some coffee houses in KTown make their coffees weak to accommodate older Koreans, but this was not weak; it was iced water with a sprinkle of coffee. Don't get their Americanos, hot or iced. The bigger problem: the raw dough. The lady recommended the Bonne pies, so I got 2 flavors: sweet potato and injulmi (Korean rice cake with sweet bean powder). I took these home and ate them the next day. They have a good amount of red bean paste inside, which was tasty, but this caused the dough in the center to stay raw (see pic). No bakery should have raw dough in their final products. This tells me that their bake staff has limited knowledge in baking, as they should have par baked the crust before adding a dollop of red bean paste. At $5 each before tax, this was a critical mistake. I also bought their popular green onion bread (a whopping $15) and gifted to my sister. She said it was too sweet and meh. The only item I would recommend is the UFO cream cheese pound cake ($5). I feel bad that I brought my friends here as they all bought the Bonne pies to take home. I will never return. I am genuinely surprised that this place has high reviews.

Pastries are good. It's pretty loud- not a work cafe, more a bakery. Free parking and wifi. A couple outlets!
