Salt & Straw

Sitting at the base of the San Gabriel mountains just northeast of downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena encapsulates a magic mix of old-world and modern charm. Our shop is located in Old Pasadena, the city's historic district for shopping and dining, beloved for its rich history, incredible architecture, and a warmth you can feel. We hope to capture that same feeling in our shop. Don't miss out on what Pasadena is most known for: its New Year's Day Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game.

American bakeries range from wholesale operations that supply restaurants to neighborhood shops that sell bread, pastries, cookies and cakes over the counter, and many of them also pour coffee. Bagel shops boil and bake on site and sell out of favorite flavors by late morning; donut shops open before dawn and are often family-run; patisseries and cake studios take custom orders for weddings and birthdays and usually need one to two weeks' notice. Ice cream parlors, gelato shops and frozen yogurt bars are seasonal in the northern states and year-round in the South and on the West Coast. Prices are posted per item, by the dozen or by the pound, and most shops now take cards and mobile payment.

Pasadena is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Pasadena follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.
