I’ve now wandered off in search of savory pastry. I can have a pastry after I have soup for breakfast. Which I did. I find that most California bakeries lean too sweet for pastry. French bakeries run by French people, and Korean / Japanese French bakeries (they’re a thing) will have more of the savory flavors I prefer. In downtown LA, I found that and more (incl v good coffee) at Korean style cafe Kumquat

The Korean soup I went for was at Yangban in the fashion district. I still prefer Hanbat in K-town but that’s an evening thing. Yangban is open for Korean soup breakfasts from 5:30am.
The rest of my trip will now be tacos, tacos and tacos.

Nice Coffee downtown LA in front of city national bank is a cute little outdoors coffee spot with plenty of plaza seating in the shade. Perfect for a warm day

Got a free library card from the LA library. You can get a library card from most systems as long as you have California ID
I want to use their language access stuff, I think there were more resources for learning Spanish

Cute little takeout sushi spot in downtown LA at Te Isshoku. There’s a nice park to sit down and eat at as well

Fugetsu-do in Little Tokyo is a 100+ year old Japanese sweet shop.
There are documentaries made about this place.
