Tous Les Jours
This might come as a surprise to people who aren’t from LA,
but Asian people make some of the best baked goods in this city. It's like a
bunch of them all decided to fill the depressing bakery void created by
supermarkets and Starbucks. As a massive franchise, Tous Les Jours is
essentially Starbuck's adopted Asian cousin. The crucial difference is that
instead of serving weak coffee with stupid pseudo-Italian names, this place
specializes in awesome pseudo-French treats baked with rice flour. It's like a
wheat-hating carb lover's wet dream. There are about a gazillion varieties of
different breads, all of which contain just the right amount of soft and sweet.
Then there are, of course, the cakes: they're so freaking adorable that they'll
just about break your heart. There are a handful of these places scattered
around Los Angeles, so consult a mapquest to find a location nearest you.
