Tom n Toms (탐앤탐스) is the South Korean equivalent of the Starbucks coffee chain.
In its heyday, there were about half a dozen Tom n Tom locations in the area of Koreatown, Los Angeles.
As of early 2017, most have shuttered. The only ones still doing business are the one inside Vermont Galleria by 5th Street and the one on Western Avenue near 1st Street, across from HK Market a few steps away from Paris Baguette.
UPDATE: There is a new Tom N Toms at Serrano Marketplace on Sixth Street by Serrano Avenue.
