Los Angeles｜Oranges Aren’t the Only Fruit

When you're near Pasadena, coffee is a must! This café is inside the historic Pasadena Star-News Building — originally built in the 1920s and home to the local newspaper until the late 20th century 📰✨ The architecture is Beaux-Arts (Classical Revival) style, with a beautifully detailed facade. Pasadena might just be LA’s best-preserved treasure trove of historic charm — lucky locals! And the café inside? Adorably orange-themed 🍊🍊🍊! It instantly reminded me of the book Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit — let’s just say they vibe together 😉 They’re famous for their breakfast burritos and bagels — both highly recommended! For drinks: coffee, of course, and freshly squeezed orange juice (super sweet and delicious, though a bit pricey for the size). The space is bright, airy, and perfect for working or studying 💻📖 Plus — no tip prompt on their machines → a truly tip-free coffee spot! 🙌 📍 Wake and Late — Pasadena 525 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91101 Within walking distance of Pasadena City Hall — perfect for a stroll with your drink in hand 🚶‍♀️🌳 #RomanticizeYourLife #LALife #LosAngeles #LAEats #HistoricCafe #Pasadena #DesignCoffeeShop
