Outdoor Activities
Outdoor family friendly places to visit
Family friendly Friday night fun! There’s usually live music, a petting zoo, rock climbing, air slides for kids, & lots of vendors to visit (produce, baked goods, candle making, etc).
Monrovia Street Fair & Market in Monrovia, California
Big beautiful outdoor park with a nice trail to walk or run
Lacy Park
Beautiful spot to walk and enjoy nature & the peacocks! They have a cute little cafe also for refreshments.
Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden
Beautiful gardens to enjoy. There’s also a museum and eateries to enjoy. The Japanese garden is amazing!
The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens
My favorite beach to visit in Los Angeles. Easy parking. Sun sets right on the horizon. Tons of nearby eateries.
Torrance Beach – Beaches & Harbors
Restaurants
Restaurants with good gluten free dairy free options. My favorite types of spots are hidden gems that aren’t necessarily super hyped up/viral line out the door type of places but they’re so good they deserve to be.
My favorite thing to order is the short rib fried rice, mapo tofu, & string beans. Best combo! Their chicken is gluten friendly not free.
dan modern chinese - pasadena
Delicious Mexican food. Cocktails are also amazing. Come for the food and vibes! Many gluten free options.
CaCao Mexicatessen
I really only come for brisket & rice but the meat quality is very good. Not AYCE which I don’t mind. Snake River Farms featured and advertised.
Hodori BBQ
Other Food & Drinks
This place is a whole vibe. Great study spot. I never liked strawberry matcha but I love theirs. Hand whisked. Delicious. Lots of space, seating, parking. Live jazz music Friday nights!
Hop Cafe
Best boba spot for customizations. I like to think of them as the Starbucks of boba. There’s something for everybody. Even kids drinks! Multiple locations throughout LA county
Sunright Tea Studio
Cute new spot. Not too many dairy free options but their strawberry matcha is delicious & one of my favorites. They offer a variety of pastries unfortunately not gluten or dairy free but they look delicious.
Re:Bakesic Coffee & Bakery
Sugarcane juice + açaí bowls for a refreshing dessert
VITA CANE JUICERY & ACAI BAR
Many gluten free dairy free options. Good coffee & tea. Popular spot for locals.
Grey & Cash
Food hall & cafeteria with a nice space & lots of parking. Great option for meeting a group & can’t decide where to eat bc there’s lots of options here!
Blossom Market Hall
Gluten free treats! Sometimes they have sandwiches which are also really good. Check store hours they close early afternoon. My favorite is the cinnamon bun, doorbell, sandwich when available, & lavender matcha!
