JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON
Dreaming of some trendy Taiwanese bakery items and flavorful iced teas? Consider a stop at OH MY PAN BAKERY & TEA HOUSE in downtown Pasadena as a replenishment getaway.
It’s a small establishment with other satellite locations as well. Friendly counter service rules the day in this contemporary, clean, yet fairly nondescript space. Very reasonable prices for some highly unusual baked selections are the norm.
Susie chooses a Strawberry Creme sweet roll and some Chocolate Chip Russian tea cakes (cookie girl that she is). Bill opts for an Almond Creme pastry and a Pineapple one. The lady also sips on some Pineapple Iced Tea. These visitors from San Diego snack for awhile at the cafe before leaving with a goodie bag slotted for tomorrow’s breakfast.
Taiwanese style bakeries like 85°C Bakery Cafe and Porto’s (along with this one) serve as the latest trend hitting our shores in droves. So if you want to be hip like Susie and me (ha!), give it a try.
