"Pasadena! My baby! Full disclosure, this is where I was hired, trained, employed, and occasionally cried. It’s located in a sleepy, mall-ish complex filled with ivy-covered walls and the emptiest Williams-Sonoma I’ve ever seen. They have the sweetest staff out of all the locations (no bias), as well as a validated parking lot and Philz Coffee conveniently located right next door, just in case you happen to need a super-milky, super-sweet, iced mint latte, as I so often did. I also saw/kind-of-met Nozawa on my second full day here? And his wife? They walked in for lunch without warning and ordered two Trust Me Lites, and not a single person batted an eye. Apparently, this is the only location where he actually dines. I’m pretty sure I dropped a glass in front of him and did a weird bow when he left. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
