Pop Goes The Monkey

In a cute little converted house next to the Raven (one of my favorite Thai massage places in LA — outdoor, very romantic and great massages), Pop Goes The Monkey is a cute bakery + gift items from local artisans. «Pop» has a very creative selection of baked goods and artisan chocolates. A raspberry red velvet cake, chocolate layered cake with caramel and rice krispie topping, a mini layer cake complete in itself (and the perfect complement to any special occasion present), homemade pop tarts, ho hos and ding dongs — favs from childhood but improved on. The selection is still limited although enough choices that there will be things you wished you had left with… definitely worth checking out and supporting as a great new bakery shop in Silver Lake. And, well, nicest of all, the people who work there are incredibly nice and helpful.
