1. Paris Baguette
I will say this, I have been to this branch SEVERAL times right after I went to the one in Santa Anita, and it has been BAD.
The place is tucked into a small plaza, so be careful when hunting for it. Going the first couple times, I missed it by a…More »
2. Paris Baguette
A Korean bakery outside the Santa Anita Mall? YES!
I have seen this place a few times, but never was in the mood to walk into this place, because a) I was with someone who wasn't a big fan of bakeries or b) I wasn't in a mood for food. Fortunately, I…More »

100th review! Was going to save it for something else, but I guess reviewing this place is good enough to me, to celebrate my 100th review!
Am I hurt that CeFiore is gone? Not really, there's always Yogurtland or Pinkberry.
After several months of…More »

Okay, I promised myself that I needed to finished up all my SF reviews before I get back to my hometown and start reviewing places.
The first one is Tom n Toms. Now, I did cheat and go to a different branch before meeting up my friends later in the…More »
5. 85C Bakery Cafe
After reading on expecting a LONG wait for bread, I was embracing my retail emotions, and was on battle mode as soon as I parked my car.
Little did I know, there was no line when I looked in. No line, on a Thursday afternoon. I could get used to this.…More »
6. Zeli Coffee Bar
I went around 6:45 PM, since I was in the area, and noticed that I was probably going to be their last customer of the day, since the shop closes at 7.
Ordered a White Chocolate Iced Blended Mocha, and explored the decor of the coffee shop a bit. Not…More »
7. Flintridge Bookstore & Coffeehouse

A place that seems to be incomplete still, with the elevator under construction and construction materials still in the parking structure underneath.
My first time going in, the bookstore feels like a cute store, with a recent book selection, like if…More »

(213) 621-4457
Going to the Little Tokyo Marketplace so many times in a month, I just noticed that an empty store that used to be where the random clothing store was (the store moved into the market on the second floor).
Anyways, all I saw was the name Paulette, and…More »

I often go to the nearby Vons here, and been wanting to try this place, and finally decided today was the day!
At first, the name seems kind of cute (I like things black and white, like pandas and penguins, and like most of my clothes). Second thing I…More »

I jogged past this place when it was a water company tower thing, then it was under construction, and then when the building was build with no occupants in it and finally the thing that drew my eye was the sign located near the streetlight. And this…More »

Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Eagle Rock
After my trip to Chicago, I decided to find a few nooks and crannies around my area, maybe in hopes of finding a new place to chill.
Often times going to and from work, I noticed this coffee shop on the corner of Eagle Rock and Colorado. Never really…More »

I gave this place two tries, and both times were meh.
Funny story, there was one night that a friend and I walked in and one of the servers greeted us a little TOO friendly. End result, we walked out, my friend hissed and said something about "one of…More »

Randomly meeting up a long friend I haven't seen since my days back at UCLA (I think this is the first time that I reveal that I'm a Bruin), we decided to venue off to this place.
Walking into the shop, I was quite surprised by the cleanliness of the…More »
14. Kaldi Coffee and Tea
Recently, I had tutoring at the South Pasadena Library, and two of the eight times, I needed something to keep me up, due to not getting enough sleep from my morning job. (I curse the person who invented 5 AM).
I was going to wander off to Buster's,…More »
15. Cafe Hazelnut - CLOSED
I went on a Tuesday at around 3 PM, hoping to get some work done for my tutoring, found this place earlier in the week but found out that they are in fact closed on Sundays.
Went in and only noticed one table and a set of chairs and thought, "that's…More »

I've been here once before, and had an okay experience. I wanted a cup of their $1 Iced Tea, which they delivered, but it took longer to get that cup of iced tea than it took to order it. (Often times, the iced tea is already made, and all they do it…More »

I really don't understand the hype about Intelligentsia Coffee. After watching the "Shit LA People Says", saying that they ONLY drink Intelligentsia Coffee, I was curious as to why she said that, or if there was something that I was missing from this…More »
18. 85C Bakery Cafe
In comparison to the branch in Rowland Heights, this one is PRETTY small. By small, I mean there's not much room to wander around in the store to find the pastry you want, or to figure out what kind of drink you want.
The same general idea here,…More »
