Ramekin Serves Up Sweet Little Treats in Los Feliz
Businessman Paul Yoo and chef Jason Park have a sweet treat up their sleeve: a new desserts shop in Los Feliz, where the treats are served in mini ramekin dishes. Chef Park has worked in restaurants in Valencia, and Yoo was one of the investors that helped bring the much-loved Mexicali Taco Co. over to its new, glossy location on Figueroa in Downtown L.A.
For their new project, which is taking over the former Paradis gelato shop in Los Feliz, the two are focusing on cobblers, tarts, and other desserts served in ramekins. (Could this be the pastry world's answer to the Mason jar trend?)
Baked-to-order desserts include berry cobbler, chocolate bread pudding, apple cake and rotating cookies that are perfectly "under-baked" and gooey fresh out-of-the-oven. Other desserts include passion fruit panna cotta, marscarpone cheesecake, banana cream pie and a variety of fruit tarts.
As much as possible is made in-house, including the butter and almond milk that are used in many of the pastries. They also source raw milk, pressed juice, and raw coconut water are choices to accompany the pastries. You can click on for a look at some of the sweets.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else.
