My culinary antenna always goes up for new dessert spots, and I was immediately impressed by the newly opened Ppang Co. Bakery. You’ll find it on Jones Blvd in Chinatown in a 5000-square-foot standalone building with a soaring exposed ceiling.

Their outstanding sweet delicacies (French and Korean) are baked daily on the premises, according to friendly owners and twin brothers Aaron and Andrew Lee. It’s a welcoming modern space with couches and relaxing jazz music piped in. The brothers told me they were inspired by the popularity of cafés in Korea and wanted to create a similar vibe here.

I enjoyed a “bengo chocola” onsite and took home a coconut croissant, blueberry pastry, a cream-filled biscuit, and their “infamous Korean bread” with soybean cream inside and powder outside.
