When you are away from Los Angeles for long periods of time, tiny Taron Bakery is the type of place you return on your first morning back in town. You can smell it from a block or two away, the freshly made items wafting down the ugly grey blocks of East Hollywood.
Decisions are not too hard here, only a couple items are for sale. When you see an old establishment like this with such a limited menu, you know they make those well. The price differences have mostly to do with size, each different beorek is made a different size and shape so you always know the one you are choosing. The largest and most expensive is the spicy cheese beorek (below), a flat sandal-shaped pastry with pointed ends.
Grab a bottle of yogurt drink, called tahn in Armenia to accompany your breakfast. They have the Turkish version here called ayran, but basically they are the same. There are a couple tables outside if relaxing with your purchase appeals to you, and usually an old Armenian or two is here alone doing the same.
