🇺🇸☕️ Infinite Morning Vibes in Pasadena

Pasadena — with its low density of both residents and tourists — is perfect for a quiet morning walk 🚶‍♀️. So peaceful and comfortable… though, honestly, jetlag made waking up early a little too easy 😅 🍳 Russell’s A nearly 100-year-old American breakfast joint. Came here after a morning stroll, sat by the window, and devoured a seriously hearty omelette 🥚 (you can add sausage or other fillings). Washed it down with bottomless classic American coffee. ☕️ 🍳 Copa Vida Located near Old Town — whether you're here to work or just savor the moment, this place has you covered. Tried their new brisket burrito — super tasty and HUGE. My appetite was no match for this beast… 🌯 🍳 Mandarin Coffee Stand You can tell from their signature drinks that they’re bringing authentic Chinese flavors to LA — definitely worth a try. Came around 8 AM, and there was already a line forming after I ordered. Only four customers are allowed inside at a time, but I honestly loved the cozy, minimalist vibe. With its wooden-framed window and red telephone booth, it almost felt like being back in London for a second… 🇬🇧❤️ 🍳 Blue Bottle Coffee No introduction needed — every city with a Blue Bottle has officially been stamped by me 😂👣 #MorningStartsNow #Food #COTD #LosAngeles #Brunch #LA #Pasadena #California #RushedMornings #TakingBackTheMorning #WeekendVibes
