today we're going to talk about things
you can do with the dog in pasadena
california last time we did a list of
things to do in los angeles and we're
getting more specific this time of
things to do in pasadena if you've been
watching our videos you know that we
love traveling to places with our dogs
and usually i travel with my dog too
kuma the corgi but she's not here with
me in california right now because i
actually flew here this time and also
candy has a new puppy named captain
we named him after captain america and
he is a handful but he's also a really
good puppy because we've been doing a
lot in pasadena and every place we've
taken him he's been doing really well
yeah he's been great
so here's our list of things to do with
your dog in pasadena pasadena city hall
may not be a place you'd think of
visiting but i came across it because
i'm a huge parks and rec fan and
apparently this is the city hall that
parks and rec uses for their show so
whenever you see the exterior shot of
the city hall in parks and rec it's
actually the city hall here in pasadena
and i was surprised that it's also pet
friendly so of course i decided to take
captain and zoey there we saw lots of
dog owners walking around there with
their dogs at sunset more at sunrise
time in the mornings but they are
everywhere and zoe absolutely loved
checking out the whole place she was so
happy
and i especially loved it because they
have so many great photo ops there so
yeah speaking of that at sunset you will
see lots of photographers there taking
photos so just be aware if you want to
take photos there it's great but be
aware there's going to be lots of people
definitely better to take pictures in
the morning there's less people there
coffee and plants is one of our favorite
coffee shops now in pasadena because
it's so cute
really adorable i love the pink theme
that they did i love that they have all
these instagram worthy spots like they
have the cool wall the inside cafe is
even cute they have this nice bicycle
outside that you could take photos of
and it's very very dog friendly we
actually met the owner while we were
sitting outside and the owner just
walked by and saw zoe and got her a
puppuccino just like out of the blue did
even say they're just like oh hey dog
get a puppucino so we were talking to
him for a little bit he didn't even tell
us he was the owner to begin with we
kind of found out as we were talking
with him and he's just super like
genuinely friendly really loves dogs so
he gets that owners want to take dogs
everywhere with them you know yeah and
we're glad he stopped to chat with us
because we didn't know that it was la's
first plant-based cafe which that was
interesting so if you're worried about
feeding your dog a puppuccino just like
a straight up like whipped cream that's
pretty unhealthy
there they serve coconut whipped cream
and also the
dog biscuit they put in there is also
healthy too that's a vegan it's a vegan
cookie so everything there is super
healthy i got tea and crystal got coffee
and my tea it was it was a green tea and
it was good i like my green tea so they
have several different types of coffee
and teas and they also have a select few
baked goods too or pastries i'm sorry so
that's from like the good good bakery i
believe it was called so if you want to
have a little snack with some coffee or
tea with your pups this is the place to
go in pasadena if you're in pasadena
it's kind of hard to miss colorado
boulevard it's a famous street where
it's lined with like restaurants shops
cafes also part of this area is called
old pasadena and it's a beautiful
location the streets are very well
maintained and most of the shops there
are super pet friendly of course like
dining establishments everywhere usually
they don't allow dogs inside but we went
to stores like athleta where else would
we go like barrel oh and then one place
they went to that i love there is the
dog bakery
so i always get them something special
there and usually i get them a frozen
yogurt when we go there while on
colorado boulevard you can also stop by
true food kitchen which is dog friendly
it's a pretty uh well-known restaurant
like if you live in like the main cities
you know what chew food kitchen is but
it's basically a healthy restaurant that
gives you like lots of uh gluten-free
options great flavors yeah convenient
options but the special thing about this
place in pasadena is their outdoor cafe
is just so
beautiful it's like a courtyard a little
courtyard and like there's plenty of
rooms for dogs to sit by you the servers
are super friendly to your dogs you know
they give you water and everything just
give them extra attention which zoe
loves
so yeah it's a fantastic place to go if
you want to if you're with your dog you
know shopping with your dog on colorado
boulevard and you're like i want to stop
by somewhere and eat true food kitchen
is a place to go i want to add to that i
actually crystal really enjoys the food
there but i really enjoy their drinks
there and not just alcoholic drinks but
they're non-alcoholic drinks they're
really creative lots of flavor and
they're also really pretty
but that's what drew me to this place
initially was their drinks
if you're looking for another healthy
option we did stop by a place called
sage and this was by just walking around
we saw that they had a really nice patio
or a deck for the dogs to sit outside
where they can dine with us when we sat
down they were super nice got you know
captain water right away and it's really
nicely shaded they had fans going on and
also the doors were open from the inside
so you can still get some of the nice
cool air from inside because we did go
in the summer and it does get hot in the
summer but it is really nice and
comfortable once you sit down and in the
shade i ordered a pizza and it was
really good for being a very healthy
pizza i had like a cashew paste on it a
zucchini and was it tomato and krista
doesn't even like tomato and she
actually likes the tomato on that pizza
it was it was really good some fantastic
pizza because i mean this whole
restaurant is plant-based so it's hit or
miss
so we did sit by a couple that was next
to us and they did say that yeah this
restaurant is great if you get the right
things
because originally i did get the mac and
cheese which i love mac and cheese but
this place is just not the place to get
the mac and cheese but again it's
plant-based so they have to make it a
certain way so i get that so just have
to order the right things pizza is the
right thing to order there for sure and
salads salads are really good there too
of course we had to add haha manga park
to our list because we absolutely love
this place we added it to our list of
things to do with your dog in los
angeles and it's actually in pasadena so
the dogs absolutely love it here because
there's lots of trails they can walk
around lots of new smells there's
actually horses that go on these trails
too because there's like a horse stable
nearby it's a pretty well-known horse
trail area there's a really long
equestrian trail around here so if
you're here there's most likely you'll
see horses we already saw like four or
five of them
keep on walking by
it's also a big disc golf area so if you
play disc golf this is the place to go
it's huge it's actually well known and
the
what was it the nation's first
disclosure
yeah an excellent place to come with
your dog we're here right now we're in
this nicely shaded area they have lots
of trees lots of picnic tables um and
it's very peaceful most most of the time
i would say and we really just love
coming here republic coffee actually has
been on our list for i want to say a
couple years now every time crystal
comes and visits me i have it on my list
of places to visit but we just actually
never make it so this time i made it a
point to go there and i felt like we've
been missing out these last couple of
years because oh my goodness the pastry
there
i loved it so much that i actually
bought some more to take home
and the coffee is fantastic i actually
ordered a latte that was really unique
they put charcoal in it so it was like a
black latte which is i've never really
seen one like that i really enjoyed
everything there the food the atmosphere
the customer service is excellent and i
love how like there's room there for
your dogs to stick so they don't have
like the outside seating is just not
like those single chairs they have like
the little couches and i love those
because it makes it just more
comfortable and it makes you want to
stay out a little bit longer and it's a
really pretty tree-lined street um so
there's lots of shades even in the
summer in the mornings it was really
nice and cool like i
yeah i think i'm going to keep going
back because i really like that coffee
place
we had to add little flour to the list
because although it's a small cafe their
desserts and pastries are excellent
we loved it so much that we went back
there twice
you can't take your dogs inside but you
can eat outdoors with your dog they have
a few tables outside and we saw lots of
people out there with their dogs and
their families just eating outdoors
there and we just loved everything we
ordered from there our favorite thing
was the mochi dessert or pastry it's
very popular here and we could see why
because we loved every single thing we
ordered and that rarely happens usually
when you order a bunch of different
pastries there's at least like one thing
you don't like not this place yeah there
was yeah there was no miss every single
thing we had has been so
good like we're addicted to this place
and it's rare that we go back someplace
like the next day and we we're just
thinking about that we were like man i
really want it i really like that emoji
healthy spot is actually a dog store so
yes dogs are welcome but the unique
thing about healthy spot is they have
events throughout the year which are
amazing um now you might think like oh
an event you just take your dog and you
walk around the store now these events
they go all out i mean the first time i
went to one of their events
i was so surprised like as soon as you
walk up they give you a little gift
basket
of goodies for your dog and then you
walk in and like oh do you want a
puppuccino not for me but for your dog
they didn't have some refreshments for
humans too but then they have like a
photo booth for your dog and this first
event i went to it was all free like
which i was a little bit shocked by
really i'm getting all this stuff for
free it's a great place to socialize
your dog i loved it so much when they
had the next event i made sure to sign
up for the newsletters and the next
event was even better it was they had
even more stuff that they gave you for
free and then if you wanted to donate
ten dollars they would they would have a
photo booth for you and it's so worth it
because it goes to a good dog charity um
so i donated the ten dollars got
professional pictures of zoe and met a
lot of new dog owners and their pets and
this time oh my god like the amount of
like dog food there they had what for
free to sample it almost looked like
human food the way they had a display so
i i thoroughly enjoy their events and i
just can't wait for the next one alright
