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.

Vintage 1920’s streetlights, meandering sidewalks, and canopied trees are just a few things that make Eldora Road so unique. What makes it special are the assortment of character homes and neighbors who know each by name. I know that because I’ve called it home since 2003. I’ve raised 4 daughters here and have always enjoyed the annual block parties, Christmas caroling, Halloween gatherings, and daily conversations. It truly is a wonderful place to call home.Our latest offering is 512 Eldora Road; a 1938 Traditional with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in 2,004 sf on a large 9,270 sf parcel. In 2021, the owner commissioned design firm Sherwood-Kypreos to reconfigure the floor plan and extensively remodel the entire home. They seemingly spared no expense in doing so. Every surface was touched and the attention to detail unmatched. The result is a stunning floor plan and a beautiful portrayal of the Traditional style. The formal entry opens into the living room which includes wicker light fixtures, built-in bookcases, a fireplace, and a large bay window with views of the San Gabriels. The dining room has a set of French doors, multiple windows, and a beautiful light fixture. The kitchen is one of the homes’ highlights with the Wolfe range as its centerpiece. Open upper cabinets, custom lower cabinets, gold plated fixtures, tiled backsplash, and stainless appliances finish off the space. Off the central hallway are the three bedrooms, powder room, and family room. The front and rear bedrooms include spacious closets, wall sconces, and large windows. The jack and jill bathroom offers dual vanities, black fixtures, and a bathtub. The primary bedroom offers a nicely sized closet and its own bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub, two sinks, spacious shower, and tiled flooring. At the end of the hallway is the family room and access to the rear yard through the Dutch door.Both the front and rear yards have been beautifully landscaped with an assortment of plants, vegetation, privacy hedges, and trees. The gated driveway leads to the detached two-car garage and pool area. The rear yard also includes a Pergola adorned with growing vines and access to the 223 sf bonus room behind the garage. Additional features include a separate laundry room and a newer roof. 512 Eldora Road is one of those homes you need to see in person to truly appreciate. It is a wonderful opportunity for a very fortunate buyer.
