Spring for coffee - Downtown, Los Angeles

I love coffee and I'm always hunting new coffee places. I've been wanting to come here for so long, and I'm so glad I finally did. This place is really small, there are no tables or space to sit down inside, but there are 2-3 tables outside. Unfortunately, the tables were already taken when I came here. The barista was very friendly, and I loved my coffee.

They carry baked goods from Action Cookies

It was already flavorful and delicious with a bit sweetness. I didn't add any sugar.

Champagne French Bakery - Beverly Hills

So I was walking around S. Beverly Drive, and I fell in love with this street. I LOVE this street. There are cute cafes and restaurants, models and actors are walking, also one of my favorite place "Urth Caffe" is on this street, too. Anyway, I saw this place, and I checked yelp, many good reviews, and I like the name "Champagne French Bakery". I went to inside, I see so many pastries and bread. Love it. Price is not bad for Beverly Hills.

The service was not great. Somehow, the workers were rude to me. Also when I was eating there, some of the workers were start eating and talking laud, I mean, it's ok, but just annoying.

I just gonna stick with Urth Caffe. No reason to come back here.













































There are so many pastries. I love pastries. It was tough for me to pick one! But to be honest, they don't look that yummy to me. I like Japanese/French type of pastries and I could tell, I'm not gonna like this place. These are probably too sweet for me. Well, I was so right.




























I asked the cashier lady, which one is better, black forest or strawberry white choco mousse cake, and she said black forest is better and more popular. So that's what I got. But I wish I got strawberry one.




























Black Forest cake $5
chocolate cake filled with whipped cream and raspberries.
My cake was a bit dry. I didn't like whipped cream at all.

Amazing $4.25 lunch special at Little Wang Kung - Koreatown

Hole in a wall Chinese restaurant in Koreatown. The food was decent, and of course the price.. yes, the lunch special is either $4.25 or $4.95. It seems like the most expensive items on the menu is seafood, and that's $7.96. Yes, it's under $8. And lunch special comes with fried rice, wontons, egg roll, and soup. You get your food pretty quick, so it's a good place for people who's in a hurry, and also on budget. But there are only about 5 tables.

I'd definitely going back, and also Los Molcajetes place right next door for $2 pupusa

Cafe Dulce - Little Tokyo (2)

Thank you for ruin my diet. I'm here like every week. Yes, I love Cafe Dulce. Coffee drinks are all good. Yeah, you already know it. But I also like their baked goods. They bake everything fresh here, and of course I like everything I tasted. Donuts and roti buns are very good and where else can you find cherry or blueberry or green tea or pumpkin roti buns besides here? Oh yeah, this reminds me, I haven't tried green tea roti bun yet (and green tea brick toast).Oh my god, I think I tried more than half of their breads.

CLICK HERE for more pics of Cafe Dulce































Here's the pics from Nisei week. They had Green tea sausage donut just for Nisei week. Hey, how can I miss that? Two of my favorites in one! I also wanted to buy their homemade mochi, but I didn't have enough cash with me.













Cafe Dulce croquette $3.50, Green tea sausage donut $2.50, spirulina koko churro $1.50













I went to last week and yes, they had pies! I haven't tried any cakes here yet. But I'm sure they are all yummy as it looks.
