It's located to the left of Orange Grove as you head north on Lake in Pasadena—easy to overlook if you're not careful. I really enjoy the food here, and the cozy seating area provides a delightful small-town charm. It's an ideal spot for a satisfying meal with generous portions, as well as a place to sip a couple of cups of coffee. The diner can get quite busy, and parking is limited. If you don’t mind parking a bit farther away and walking a block or two, it’s a great option. Alternatively, you can order takeout, but I personally love the atmosphere, especially during the quieter weekdays.
