Food｜Pasadena Summer Ice Guide 🍦

🍧 Oakobing This shaved ice spot has been on my favorites list for a while — and now it’s expanded from Ktown to Pasadena! So exciting~ Must-tries: 🫘 Injeolmi Shaved Ice The classic soybean powder mochi style with sweet red beans and a drizzle of condensed milk — so good! Highly recommend for first-timers. 🍈 Melon Mango or Honeydew Mango Depends on your preference! The mango flavor is super refreshing — perfect for cooling down in the summer! 🅿️ Easy to find, but parking can be tricky. 🍦 Salt & Straw A truly unique ice cream shop on Pasadena’s main street, originally from Portland — other locations include Disney! They often roll out seasonal or holiday special flavors. Strong recommendations: 🧂 Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons — A long-time favorite! The salty-sweet combo is perfectly balanced with creamy texture. 🍐 Pear & Blue Cheese — Surprisingly delicious! Not too heavy or sweet, with real pear chunks and a subtle blue cheese touch. 🌸 Lavender — Very floral and fragrant, worth a try if you’re curious! Don’t forget to add a waffle cone — freshly baked, fragrant, and crispy! 🅿️ Parking is hit or miss — if you’re lucky, you’ll find a spot right out front 😂. #Pasadena #PasadenaEats #LAFood #SummerTreats #ShavedIce #IceCream #Oakobing
