Day 59: Pappa Rich – The Father of All Buns

Day 59 of 365 Things To Do In Pasadena™ satisfies a sweet tooth by featuring PappaRich.

Pasadena California is known for its wide selection of restaurants and bakeries and PappaRich in Old Pasadena is a fun and different place to visit.

It is a Korean based company that is known for their European style buns and pastry. It started back in 2007 and has gain popularity in US last year.

The bun is unique… it is served warm, right out of the oven. It has a maple based crispy top with an airy buttery interior with a little bit of salty butter in the very center.

The bakery also offers a variety of interesting looking concoctions – two cookies with butter cream on the inside… different flavors. We tried macadamia nut (macadamia nut cookies with a lemony/coconut icing in the middle) and strawberry shortcake cookes (2 sugar cookies with strawberry butter cream on the inside.) If you are a connoisseur of very sweet, icing type butter creams, this is for you.

A selection of iced and hot coffees and teas is available to pair with your sweets.

Overall, an interesting experience… give it a shot. It’s located on Green Street, same side of the street and across from Bucca Di Peppo.

Veiled by a beautiful overgrown garden with a row of weeping fig hedges and a picket fence, sits a near century old English Tudor from 1932. A patinaed brick path leads to a covered porch overlooking the lush and verdant yard with flowers indigenous to Pasadena. On one side of the entry is a timeless living room with wood ceilings and exposed beams that draw your eye up. The fireplace is flanked by a pair of original paned glass windows and period sconces that complement the layered, evolved-over-generations aesthetic. A wall of windows illuminates the room with light at various angles throughout the day. The dining room is enlivened by a spectacular arched window that commands the room and frames the garden view. A swinging butlers door leads to a large eat-in kitchen with a wine cellar and access to the upstairs family room. The long center hallway leads to three bedrooms and baths, each with a private door out to the hedged, fenced in yard. The garden loggia adds to the nostalgia and romance that hovers over the backyard like the scent of lemon tree blossoms and hummingbirds bathing in the fountain. The bougainvillea-draped guest house was converted this summer and features an antique reclaimed door, three-quarter bath, and a morning kitchen. Pasadena has long been considered the cultural center of the San Gabriel Valley, offering a sophisticated suburban experience with convenient access to the city.
