We go on a lot of "dates" to this incredible, independent book and gift store. There is truly something for everyone here PLUS they have an on-site wine and cheese bar. 10/10 perfection.
No better bread in town! Come for the ham and cheese croissant, stay for the lemon tart.
Breakfast tacos that aren't just for breakfast. Delicious salads and sides, too, plus a frozen paloma slushie machine!
No frills but super affordable massages. One block from the Pasadena Hotel & Pool!
Great for brunch, great for dinner, and don't forget the to-go market in the front of the restaurant for all your cheese and charcuterie picnic needs. Grab some snacks to pack on a hike!
Just a couple of blocks from our house, the western trailhead to the Gabrielino Trail is an almost daily site for us. Part of the Angeles National Forest, there are tons of trails ranging from flat and short to uphill and challenging. There is a creek throughout most of the area, and eventual waterfalls. Dog and bike friendly.
