it's not like new york city we're like
old ladies like where are we
let's just go around the block one more
time yeah and it's not bad like downtown
alley like this is downtown pasadena
so it is much much more chill and
relaxed
hi we're crystal and candy of travel
pockets we're sisters who are half
american and half japanese and we love
to travel the world in style
we grew up as military brats so we're
used to moving from place to place
that's why
we love traveling so much
we post videos weekly and would love for
you to subscribe to our channel
follow us along on all of our adventures
[Music]
do
we are in old town pasadena at a coffee
shop called coffee and plants
we got here first thing in the morning
when they opened at i believe they
opened at eight o'clock that's what you
got here
open at eight uh but we brought the dogs
here because it's dog friendly
um even this town it's old pasadena
right
it's a dog-friendly town yeah so they
have a lot of establishments where you
can bring your dog with you so it's
perfect for us because
if you've been watching our videos we
love bringing our dogs everywhere with
us
yeah and there they even had already got
the water bowl out for the dogs
so that was really nice and i know they
just opened so i knew the water was
fresh
oh yeah and then captain candy's new
puppy loves water
like obsessed with waters so he was like
oh my gosh this is heaven
it's water he's already like been back
to that pool like several times
it's just water he's very easy it's very
easy to entertain
or please yeah but this coffee shop is
super
adorable everything is kind of like a
pink thing same thing with green
obviously for the plants yeah and as the
name implies
coffee implants there's plants here too
you can also purchase plants here yeah
and they have a really cute plant in the
pink
planters which is so cute if i lived
here
i would definitely buy some and it's one
of those things you're just like it's so
tiny and cute i gotta buy it
i mean yeah it's really nicely decorated
they have lots of photo ops around here
too for you and your dogs yeah and
there's space to sit both
indoors and outdoors but we obviously we
have the pups with us so we sat
outdoors and it's in a beautifully um
shaded area
um even it's like in an alley so we kind
of missed it when we first
drove by we're like where is it so we
did another um
we had to turn around because it's a
one-way street and finally i was like
looking into the uh
alleys and it was inside the alley it's
nice and shaded because right now it's
like
super sunny and it's summer um so if we
were in the sun i think we'd be dying
right now
so this is fantastic that it's like a
nice shaded alley and the alleys it was
pretty white
so you don't feel like really like
claustrophobic i guess like if you're
not into like
sitting in alleys yeah i know it's nice
um it's not too crowded
uh right now it's what it's nine o'clock
it's been open
for an hour um they have a steady flow
of people yeah
they do it's very popular i think for
you know a weekday oops
the table gotta mention parking because
they do have street parking
but it's metered parking and you have to
use coins yeah it's old school metered
parking apparently in pasadena old town
pasadena
they did not change this so you still
have to use coins
to pay for street parks yeah like in the
main area where the shopping areas there
are
credit card operated a street parking
but apparently well it looks like in
this area still like on the edge
of old town they still haven't changed
that so if you bring coins you will have
plenty of parking around here yeah
so definitely bring coins at get points
if you don't
like us then they do have public parking
garages but they're kind of expensive
uh the one that was near here was two
dollars every 15 minutes and i was like
oh no i'm not paying that which is
pretty hefty
uh so then we drove around and there's
another one
just like a block or two down that was a
dollar for every 20 minutes
a little bit more reasonable but the max
was like eight dollars yeah
yeah so the other one the max was much
higher
[Music]
so yeah just remember to bring coins
with you if you want to do some street
parking here
you know that's kind of like any
downtown area go to parking is always a
thing
that's a little bit tricky but pasadena
is pretty good about public parking
garages there's quite a bit around
several corners so if you kind of drive
around
and shop around for the best parking
garage space like you'll
yeah that's what we did we kind of
looked yeah and it's very chill it's not
very busy so you can take your time
yeah it's not like new york city for
like old ladies like where are we
let's just go around the block one more
time yeah and it's not bad like downtown
alley like this is downtown pasadena
so it is much much more chill and
relaxed
yeah as far as their menu it's mostly
coffees and teas
and um they do have a puppuccino oh
yeah like she wants the attention
so sweet
oh you lucky dog you
aren't you glad you came zoe all right
so while we were talking we had to like
pause for a moment because we actually
just met the owner of
coffee and plants his name is ac super
sweet
he started explaining everything here
and even gave zoe
a full pacino yeah it was so cute so
this puppucino is actually
a coconut whipped cream and there's a
vegan cookie
at the bottom of it it was super sweet
he didn't even like say he was the owner
or anything
we kind of found out later we're like
wait are you the owner yeah i just
thought he was a regular customer here
because he's like hey give me a pacino
so zoe was super happy of course that
she got like this special treat
so yeah the puppeteer's actually on
their menu it's uh
three dollars which usually coffee shops
don't charge for frappuccinos but this
place i get it like they really put
effort into
you know having healthy treats for
puppies so they do the coconut-based
whipped cream and cookies yeah and
everything here is vegan-based so
um whatever you order they actually have
pastries that um come from the good good
uh wasn't it good
good baked bakery yeah and she makes all
um vegan-based pastries and the drinks
are too
so yeah it's if you're a vegan this is a
fantastic place to come
yeah and even if you're not yeah and the
owner is awesome he just told us that it
opened in december
2019 so it's like right before the
pandemic hit so we had to hit struggle a
little bit but then you know
bounced back up because this place is
really popular we keep on seeing people
going in and out
people sitting outside indoors so
definitely stop by here
because it's cute the owner is awesome
super dog friendly and he has dogs too
and so he understands that you want to
take your dog everywhere and take
pictures with it
so yeah i really like that he's a dog
dog owner too yeah
and he said doesn't have to be a dog
he's got a big hat he said he's seen
people bring their cats
in iguana maybe not a peacock though
because he says it takes up a lot of
room yeah
[Music]
i love this place it's so adorable it's

love the owner so yeah definitely stop
