Mocha-Sweetened Bread

Try Crown Bakery’s mocha bread for your next brunch. It’s an oval sweet loaf with a crumbly sugar coating and a layer of soft mocha frosting inside--just right with a cup of steaming mocha-java. Crown Bakery’s Los Angeles branch, where we bought the bread, is located inside a shopping center called the New Rodeo Gallery in Koreatown.

Mocha bread, $3 at Crown Bakery, 833 S. Western Ave., No. 38, Los Angeles. (213) 389-0102. Other locations in Garden Grove, Rowland Heights and San Diego.
