Los Angeles Pasadena Travel Guide

Pasadena's Old Town is absolutely charming and full of laid-back vibes — a historic district perfect for eating, drinking, and strolling. ⭐️ Granville A super popular brunch spot with three floors, including a rooftop where you can enjoy drinks and sunset views — so relaxing! The style is very Instagrammable; the first floor feels like a cozy café. Food-wise, I only realized on arrival that brunch is only served on weekends — on weekdays it’s just the lunch menu, which is pretty average. Reservations usually aren’t needed. 📍 270 S Lake Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101 ⭐️ Erewhon This is Pasadena's upscale "luxury grocery store"! Rumor has it you might spot celebrities here — Justin Bieber and the Kardashians are said to visit often. Everything is organic, beautifully displayed, and yes, expensive 💸 — even a bottle of water can cost $20! I tried one of their famous smoothies for $20 too… tasted like "healthy" in a cup 🥤. P.S. The storefront (photos 2 & 5) is very photogenic! 📍 475 S Lake Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101 #Erewhon #PasadenaEats #Pasadena #Granville #PasadenaBrunch #LABrunch #LAGrocery
