Things To Do
The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens
Devote at least 2 hours for this place, gardens, art galleries, and even delicious bites!
California Botanic Garden
I love this garden, not the manicured type, just natural. Find a grove and enjoy the shade. I recommend going in the afternoon or early in the day.
Union On Yale
Aracely's favorite restaurant in Claremont. Great environment especially if you like dining al fresco. Chris and I had out first date here. The food is delicious, can't ever go wrong.
Crème Bakery
The best bakery in Claremont/sorrounding cities. Treat yourself to a cinnamon roll, danish, or tart in the morning. Or, if you stop by during lunch, grab a baguette sandwich. Takes me back to Spain every time! Don't be surprised if there's a line.
Some Crust Bakery
Chris loves the cookies here, they are decadent. Don't miss this place.
Harvard and Yale
Need coffee? Go here.....it's owned by a young Latino. The coffee is great, it's where I go every Sunday before I walk to the farmers market.
Claremont Farmers & Artisans Market
If you're in town through Sunday, don't miss the market. You can buy delicious local pastries, fruit, or something savory. Make it a lunch at the park or stroll the Claremont Colleges.
Pizza N Such
Great pizza and Greek salad. The Gutierrez fam makes this their local Friday stop. And, Chris and Aracely had their first meeting here when they worked together. Yes, once upon a time Chris was Aracely's boss.
Eureka! Claremont
Always a good place for a burger. Chris' fav burger spot in Claremont!
The Quarter Creole Cuisine
The best creole food in Claremont. And be sure to grab a beignet or try the bread pudding.
Day Day's BBQ & Waffle House
One of the best mom & pop spots in the area. And be sure to get a glass of Kool-Aid to wash it all down!
