This little restaurant in a Triangular building has ok food, but when you need a restaurant close by, somehow the food and drink seems just fine. It's the closest restaurant. Closes at 9 pm, so don't delay!

Great place to work on the computer or just hang out. Lousy espresso last I tried. Mediocre coffee. Unspectacular edibles. But great public spot to meet, read or work. But for good Coffee, go to Cafe de Leche.

Altadena's Old Old american style breakfast restaurant. 1950s style standard food and coffee in a quaint little 50's style place the locals just can't stay away from. I don't particularly go for the food, but sometimes you gotta go for the experience.

Not up for a big hike, but want to get a feel of the San Gabriel Mountains? Take a walk past the old wrought iron gates of the old Cobb Estate. Fairly level and lots of trees for shade. Nice in any weather..
