Guidebook for Pasadena
Food Scene
Jameson Brown Coffee Roasters
260 Allen AveThey have great coffee and food.
This walk-up cafe is a local foodie gem. They have a great menu with daily specials. We get it to go for lunch all the time. The key is to call in your order ahead of time and pick it up. I don't like lines and they always have lines unless you're there to pick up an order, then just head straight up to the counter and let them know you're there for a pick up order.
