Oakobing

Oakobing is not a one-time transactional experience; it's a relationship. At Oakobing, we not only strive to deliver the highest quality Korean-style shaved ice, but we also provide a fun, customer-centric atmosphere that keeps our beloved customers coming back for more. Founded in 2016, Oakobing has quickly become one of Koreatown's most popular dessert cafes — the ideal cool-down dessert spot for the Los Angeles heat. With a wide array of delicious flavors and an unmistakably fluffy texture, Oakobing's unique style of Korean shaved ice was carefully and artfully crafted to serve as the ultimate dessert experience.

In Pasadena, the best-known bakeries and bagel shops have lines on weekend mornings, so arrive early or order ahead where the shop offers it. Across California, immigrant bakeries add Mexican pan dulce, Vietnamese banh mi bread, Chinese buns, Middle Eastern sweets and European rye to the mix, and many gluten-free and vegan bakeries have opened in larger cities.

Day-old bread and end-of-day discounts are common if you ask.
