Ninong's, Los Angeles

What is the most delicious color in the world? Ask the team at Ninong's Pastries & Cafe, and they'll give you a definitive answer to that question: purple. A violet hue is the signature to the cafe's pancakes, coffee cakes, shakes, and many other creations. Though not all of them, of course. The full menu represents an eclectic sampling of Filipino-American cuisine, from all-day breakfast dishes to savory entrées including Mom's Loco Moco. The cooks here also make baguette sandwiches to order—right down to the bread, which they bake fresh for each and every corned beef or marinated pork sandwich. In addition to imported bites, Ninong's Pastries & Cafe also serves imported teas and coffees, including Barako Coffee imported from the Philippines brewed with water imported from the clouds.
