What's your favoriate coffee place? Mega Starbucks Chain, peet's coffe or local Mom & Dad coffee shop?
For my daily morning coffee - My favoriate is Illy Coffee, but it's rarely avaialbe in West Coast. So Tully coffee has become my new love, but now it's hard to find in Southern California. I again settle for Starbucks as my daily run.
I've always loved sitting in cafe to kill time. I studied in the coffee shops all the time instead of library as a student - the smell coffe and soothing Jazz background music actually made me very productive. Little old beach town styled local coffee house at Isla Vista, University owned coffee house over seeing lagoon in UCSB, Starbucks at down town Palo Alto, and coffee stands inside Stanford bookstore were all my favoriate hangout place. I preferred local unique coffee house instead of chain coffee house. Equator coffee house is one of my favoriate local coffee house located in Old Town Pasadena.
Equator is a hidden jewel in Old Town Pasadena. SoHo styled coffee house in the little dirty alley - only locals can find it. It has been opened for at least 10+ years, and Karin took me there first many years ago. This has become my frequent stops ever since.
Just like many local coffee house in SoHo, no fancy interior design, just some old sofa, wooden charis and tables with live local alternative music band in the weekend nights. I always order Black Forest Mocha with one extract shot - black berry syrup Mocha - very yummy
I took Mom there this Satruday. Don't be fooled by her big happy smile - she was a bit freak out by the "old" furnitures there and didn't want to sit on the sofa....I guess that's called generation gap????
