Hidden Gems in Los Angeles (Part 2) – Pasadena 🌸✨

Hey everyone! Here’s another fun and charming spot for your weekend plans—save this and go explore! Old Pasadena Honestly, Pasadena might be my favorite place to wander around in LA. It’s clean, cozy, and feels safe—minimal homelessness or litter around. Here are some must-visit spots in Pasadena: 📍 Coffee and Plants Address: 62 W Union St, Pasadena, CA 91103 A quiet little café with, as the name suggests, plenty of plants and great coffee ☕️🌿 The space is small but lovely, with seating inside and outside—peaceful, clean, and perfect for a relaxed vibe. 📍 Osawa Japanese Restaurant Address: 77 N Raymond Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101 Specializes in fresh sashimi and sushi 🍣, and their main dishes are generously portioned! I don’t usually eat raw food, so I ordered every cooked sushi roll on the menu—and I was totally satisfied and full! Delicious 😋 📍 380 S Lake Ave – European-Style Shops This area feels like a hidden lane—hardly anyone around except for some folks enjoying coffee outside. It’s located in a small shopping district right across from Caltech, so it’s easy to find! 🏘️☕ 📍 Caltech (California Institute of Technology) Yes, this is where Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory would hang out! 😂 The campus is small and not crowded, but it’s still cool to soak in that strong academic atmosphere. 🎓📚 #StudyInUSA #StudyAbroadLife #LosAngeles #LAEats #California #HiddenGems #Pasadena
