Latte

Because I’m a zombie. Vertical, moving, but no brains.

Double Espresso

Double espresso because I slept 90 min last night. Jet lag.

Mocha

Mocha. Because why not?

Latte

Latte plus a brown sugar buttery croissant. I’ve already eaten most of it. This place is highly recommended for the pastries and sandwiches.

Iced Latte

The neighborhood coffee joint.

Americano

Americano, with their signature candy heart on the side. Plus a croissant. Because it’s the Union Street French Cafe. Time for Claude to walk me through the weekly sweep.

Hot Americano on a cool, gray day. “The Boxer” for tunes. Epic.

Iced Latte comes with the lunch special (chorizo wrap).

Latte

Union Street French Cafe with Mary.

Iced Decaf Latte

Weekly review at Criterion Coffee. Me and Claude Code. It’s a good place to grab a table and do some work—especially upstairs in the mezzanine.

Spanish Latte

At Urth. The peacock!

Americano

Small. Because a large has 4 shots of espresso and that’s too much for after lunch. 😁

Latte

Coffee and Plants in One Colorado, Old Town Pasadena, tucked way in the back. No real milk! Only plants. Drink ranked lower for oat milk, otherwise fine.

Drip Coffee

Little place out of the way. Tables inside and out.

Americano

Leveling up from Claude Code + Obsidian to running Hermes on a VPS. Objective: persistent NOW.md self-updating, self-learning status across all devices. At Union Street French Cafe. Americano and a croissant.

Cortado

Cortado after lunch.

Cappuccino

Cappuccino with a little candy heart on top

Orange Juice

And now for something completely different: fresh squeezed orange juice. With real oranges. Can I give more stars than five stars?

Ham and Gruyère cheese, toasted. Trying out a new place (Tartine) in Old Town, on The Other Side of the Freeway.

Besitos Latte (Aka Horchata)

Down the alley to Savvvy’s.

Continuing the theme of hot, black, and unsweetened, an Americano after lunch to get my brain in gear.

Coffee

Coffee comes with the lunch special, and I got the breakfast burrito for lunch.

Iced Vanilla Latte

They pimp it heavily so I had to try it. Old Town Pasadena. Too sweet.

So good it didn’t last long enough for the photo shoot

Le Bassin Smoothie

Le Bassin smoothie. The Frenchy sandwich.

Iced latte in a hot day. My favorite indie coffee joint.
