In the heart and center
of Old Town Pasadena lies
The Equator coffee house.
This is the place where
the owner proclaims “If
it’s too loud in here,
go to Starbucks!”
Postmodern art pieces ornate
the brick-exposed walls
leaving little to the imagination.
Local bands, verbal poetry,
and even karaoke are featured
onstage on certain occasions.
This is where the local
gentry hang out after hours
a few steps away from the
shopping and eating mecca
of Pasadena. Meet fellow
techies and artists along
with your average joe here
on any given evening. Once
upon a time Beverly Hill
90210 even filmed here.
The Equator also features
a wide array of beverages
and coffees for any picky
palate. For the more daring,
they offer Asian inspired
“boba” drinks,
green tea frappes, and
passion fruit juices.
The Banana Royale hits
the spot along with other
eclectic house specialties.
For those on the go they
also carry an assorted
collection of imported
beverages and pop. If
you’re hungry, The
Equator makes delicious
sandwiches and wraps from
your home-breed turkey
caesar to your more traditional
ham and cheese. If you
don’t care for something
to eat or drink but seek
something to do, The Equator
also provides Arabic originated
hookahs” and flavored
sheesha (tobacco) for
your enjoyment (18 years
and older). There is really
nothing you can’t
do here at this coffee
house. Bring your laptop
with Swifi™ and
just watch as Pasadena
rolls by this eclectic
place!
