Plate 38

EatLA-1864

WHY Better-than-you’d-think cooking in a no-frills café. WHAT Owner Robert Humphreys brings his classical training (at Patina and elsewhere) to his funky, everyday café, and the result is a gift for East Pasadenans.

Radhika

EatLA-1733

WHY Good, straightforward Indian cooking with a few not-too-trendy modern touches, including Indian-inspired tacos. Excellent-value lunch menu.

Jameson Brown Coffee Roasters

EatLA-1710

WHY First-rate house-roasted beans or coffee to drink on-site in a spacious, peaceful setting. WHAT Can’t find a seat at Jones? Then head to this fine coffeehouse, which also roasts its own beans (they’re excellent) and has a lot more room to hang out than its west Pasadena competitor. Founded by Fuller Seminary folks, it [...]

Papaya King

EatLA-1888

WHY Small, juicy hot dogs, just like the New York original. WHAT Pink’s has competition in the line-up-for-hot-dogs department with the arrival of this New York hot dog icon, which draws huge crowds at night. Pass on the beefier but soggier jumbo dog in favor of the small, juicy, peppery original. The curly fries are [...]

Original Pantry Café

EatLA-1884

WHY For the wait staff, the history and the breakfasts, served 24/7. WHAT Do we love the Pantry? Yes. Is the food really good? No. Well, former mayor Dick Riordan loved it so much he bought the place, but he likes plain, filling chow, and that’s what the Pantry has delivered, 24 hours a day, [...]

A & J Cake & Candy Supplies

EatLA-1544

WHY Who wouldn’t want to learn how to make cluster candies, chocolate pizzas and marshmallow buddies? WHAT From the front, this strip-mall place on a lost stretch of Route 66 looks like nothing more than a place to buy candy molds, and in fact it is an excellent supply house for bakers and candy makers.
