Paris Baguette: One of the Best Asian Bakeries

Most people would think Paris Baguette is a French bakery at first, but haha they are fooled.

This Asian bakery is actually run by Koreans, with more than 20 stores opened in the United States. Don't get fooled by "Asian", the decor and bakery items are very modern and westernized. There is one in Koreantown (of course). Even though it's a tiny one, everyday the store is packed with customers with different ethnics, you see how popular they are.

On the left side you often see prepacked bakery items, like garlic pretzel, bread, bread loafs etc, then sticky rice doughnut and croquet. On the right hand side you would see a lot more baked goods: seasonal fruit pastries, tarts, cheese/sweet potato/pineapple/apple/pumpkin pastry, cheese dome, ...etc.

Then there are the cakes! All look so cute and fabulous...also expensive x.x ($20-$40). Tiny ones are $5-7

Paris Baguette also sell seasonal drinks. I had a tropical bubble slush one time and it was delicious; BUT DEFINITELY NOT THE PRICE! (~$5-6). The sesame latte was ripped off: it was like the sesame drink pack from supermarket mixed with milk---doesn't cost $5 at all, so skip it.

The trending summer treat is definitely the shaved ice. But it's just ice, doesn't need to cost $12. You could just make it at home.
