Tree Service in Pasadena, CA

Cinnamon rolls slicked with grassy-green matcha icing, red velvet cookies and glazed lemon loafs beckon from the open-air pastry case at Bad Ash Bakes off Colorado Boulevard, with fresh-baked treats added to the rotating selection throughout the day. You’re likely to spy a few seasonal specials as well: sweet potato cinnamon rolls in honor of Black History Month or a tiramisu loaf during the winter. Opened by Ashley Cunningham last spring, the classically trained chef and self-taught baker earned a viral following for her pliable, palm-sized cinnamon rolls, but it’s the creativity that she fuses into the menu that turned online fans into regular customers. After a trip to Japan to learn all things matcha, the bakery now uses ceremonial grade matcha in its assortment of lattes, a cookie and a blondie.

This coffee shop in Old Town Pasadena is truly plant-based — extending beyond the menu of Just Egg tartines, flaky croissants and lattes with oat and other alternative milks (at no extra charge) to the roses that drape over the entryway and the live succulents available for sale inside. In partnership with the National Forest Foundation, the shop donates one tree for every 100 cups of coffee sold — with 3,642 trees planted so far. Opened by singer and philanthropist Leona Lewis and business partners Dennis Jauch (who’s also her husband) and Achraf “AC” Sekhiri, Coffee & Plants provides a photogenic place for shoppers at One Colorado to take a pause.

Before Deluxe 1717 was a welcoming open-air bistro on the border of Pasadena and Altadena, chef-owner Onil Chibas used the space for his catering business. When the COVID pandemic halted events in 2020, he began cooking and delivering meals around the city each week. Eventually, at the behest of his new customers, he decided to open the restaurant for outdoor dining and built a lanai that overlooks Washington Boulevard. Alongside his chef de cuisine Alberto Morales, the pair created a frequently changing menu inspired by their French culinary training, the foods they grew up with and what they both enjoy cooking. A Cuban sandwich and maduros reflect Chibas’ Cuban heritage, while a Bolivian-style cheese empanada and other South American specialties such as tallarin saltado and gambas al ajillo honor Morales’ Bolivian background. Other menu items, like the shatter-crisp fish and chips with miso-marinated snapper and taro chips, pay homage to the global cuisines they draw inspiration from. A rotating wine list is curated specifically for pairing with the food, with every option available by the glass.

For years, my family ordered trays of peach or mixed berry cobbler from the Gourmet Cobbler Factor for holidays and birthday parties at my aunt’s Altadena home. My favorite part of pies and cobblers is the crust, and this one is formidable: buttery, crispy and thicker than most in order to stand up to the sugary but not-too-soft peaches underneath. Clifton and Gloria Powell took over the Cobbler Factory in 2002, adding Gourmet to the name and maintaining its reputation as a destination for the Southern dessert. Several years ago, they expanded with Clifton’s Gourmet BBQ, offering Louisiana-style gumbo, plates packed with pulled pork, brisket and ribs smoked low and slow, and sides like baked beans, mac and cheese and collard greens for takeout or dine-in at one of the sidewalk tables out front. A scoop of peach cobbler topped with vanilla ice cream is a must for dessert.

This welcoming shop in Old Town Pasadena serves many needs. You can pick up seasoning blends, locally roasted coffee beans or other items for your pantry at home. Others stop by for a morning coffee and pastry, or in the afternoon for sandwiches and build-your-own cheese and charcuterie boxes. Opened by Kaiy Smith-Biesman in late 2024, Neighbors & Friends lives up to its name by offering a supportive space where community can gather, with a spacious interior, tables and free Wi-Fi, plus ongoing events including cheese board workshops and a run club. Smith-Biesman recently launched the Neighbors & Friends podcast to share lessons and stories from fellow entrepreneurs, and is currently taking social media followers on her journey to open her first restaurant in the next three months.

Tucked off Orange Grove Boulevard is this no-frills fish market where regulars stock up on fresh or fried catfish steaks, sand dabs and red snapper, as well as Jamaican specialties including curry goat, jerk chicken and rice and peas. Service is brusque but efficient and there’s only one communal table for enjoying your selections on-site, but just one bite of fall-off-the-bone-tender oxtails or thoroughly seasoned fried catfish will bring understanding as to how this spot manages to attract a steady stream of customers with zero online presence.

Smooth jazz plays softly in the background and abstract art hangs on the wall at Perry’s Joint, a casual sandwich shop ran by husband and wife Perry and Melanie Bennett. Opened in 2004, you’ll often spy one or both of them behind the counter assembling towering sandwiches and piling ingredients onto hotdogs or nachos. The menu makes sly reference to jazz with items like the Chicken Mingus with chicken salad and sliced green apples, and the Hip Bird with turkey, avocado and cheese. Housed in a medical center and just down the street from John Muir High School, the Bennetts pour back into the local Pasadena community with an annual fundraiser for graduating seniors heading off to college. After the Eaton fires, Perry’s Joint offered a free continental breakfast for locals to gather and find support.

Along North Lake Avenue at the back of a CVS parking lot is Rodney’s Ribs, a food trailer that billows with smoke as Rodney Jenkins slowly rotates racks of pork ribs, beef brisket and hot links over oak wood before assembling them in plates with potato salad, baked beans, cole slaw or — for an upcharge — mac and cheese. An illustration of Jenkins, gleeful with a massive rib in one hand and a brisket sandwich in the other, decorates the truck and menu. You’re likely to receive a similar smile from Jenkins when he proudly hands over your order.

Attached to Pasadena Fish Market is this smoothie shop where the drinks are named with a wink to Black culture — see: Runutelladat, Reading Rainbow and Yea Glow! — and the menu is organized by intention. Beverages under the So Mindful category are intended to boost body and mind with ingredients like goji berries, maca root and collagen, while So Balanced offers fruit-forward options with no dairy and So D.G.A.F. (deliciously good and fantastic) features delicious drinks that cross over into dessert territory, like First Date with banana, dates, walnuts, cinnamon, chocolate caramel and oat milk. Since I visited after a hearty meal at the adjacent Jamaican restaurant, I opted for the refreshing Just Beet It with blueberry, mango, beet root and lemonade.

The Pasadena location of Karolyn Plummer’s bakery opened in fall 2024, belonging to a new wave of standout dessert shops in the City of Roses. The bake shop is named after the three most popular menu items: sweet potato pie, red velvet cake and peach cobbler. Cakes are available by the slice, along with banana pudding, cinnamon rolls blanketed in icing, cupcakes, cookies, soft serve and creative sweets that blend the best of our favorite comfort foods, like peach cobbler nachos with crispy cinnamon-sugar-dusted chips made out of pie crust and topped with soft peaches and whipped cream.

PASADENA, CA, UNITED STATES, March 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Tsibel Emergency Dental is proud to announce the opening of its new dental office in Pasadena, CA, bringing specialized emergency dental care to one of the San Gabriel Valley's most vibrant and growing communities. Led by experienced dental professional Arkady Tsibel, the practice is dedicated to providing fast, compassionate, and comprehensive emergency dental treatment to patients of all ages. Whether facing a sudden toothache, a broken tooth, or a dental injury that requires immediate attention, Pasadena residents now have a trusted local resource ready to help when they need it most. To learn more about the practice and the full range of services offered, visit https://share.google/eJdVllYI4wFLUgWoJ.

Filling a Critical Need for Emergency Dental Services in Pasadena

Dental emergencies do not follow a schedule. They happen on weekends, late at night, and during holidays — often at the most inconvenient moments imaginable. Unfortunately, many traditional dental practices are not equipped to accommodate walk-in emergency patients, leaving individuals in severe pain with few immediate options. Tsibel Emergency Dental was founded specifically to address this gap. The Pasadena office is designed to serve patients who need same-day or urgent care, providing prompt evaluation and treatment so that pain is relieved and further damage is prevented as quickly as possible. The team understands that when a dental emergency strikes, every minute counts, and that is why accessibility and responsiveness are at the core of everything the practice does. Patients in Pasadena and the surrounding area can locate the office easily at https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZGbqtUeCt1Cei1N87.

Comprehensive Emergency Dental Services Under One Roof

Tsibel Emergency Dental is fully equipped to handle a wide spectrum of urgent dental conditions. The Pasadena office provides treatment for severe toothaches and dental infections, cracked and fractured teeth, knocked-out or displaced teeth, lost or broken dental crowns and fillings, dental abscesses, and injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth including the lips, gums, and tongue. Beyond emergency treatment, the practice also offers follow-up restorative care to ensure that patients receive not just immediate relief but long-term solutions that restore function and protect oral health. The goal is to be a complete resource from the moment a patient walks in during a crisis all the way through their full recovery.

About Arkady Tsibel and the Vision Behind the Practice

Arkady Tsibel brings a deep commitment to patient care and a clear understanding of what individuals experience during dental emergencies — including anxiety, pain, and uncertainty about what to do next. That understanding shaped the vision for Tsibel Emergency Dental from the very beginning. The practice was built around the belief that every patient deserves timely access to professional dental care, regardless of whether their situation arises on a typical weekday or in the middle of a holiday weekend. Arkady Tsibel and the Tsibel Emergency Dental team approach every patient with empathy and professionalism, working quickly to assess the situation, explain all available treatment options clearly, and deliver effective care with as little discomfort as possible.

The Pasadena location reflects a deliberate choice to serve a community that has continued to grow and where the demand for accessible, high-quality emergency dental services has increased steadily. Pasadena is home to a diverse population of families, working professionals, students, and seniors — all of whom can benefit from having a dedicated emergency dental provider close by.

What Sets Tsibel Emergency Dental Apart

While there are general dental practices throughout the Pasadena area, Tsibel Emergency Dental distinguishes itself through its singular focus on emergency and urgent dental care. This specialization means that the office is organized, staffed, and equipped with emergency situations in mind. Patients are not placed at the back of a long appointment queue or told to wait days for an opening. Instead, the practice prioritizes urgent cases and works to ensure that patients in pain are seen and treated as efficiently as possible.

The team also recognizes that dental emergencies can be stressful and overwhelming, particularly for patients who have not had a prior relationship with the practice. Walking into an unfamiliar dental office in a moment of crisis can be daunting. Tsibel Emergency Dental addresses this by creating a welcoming, calm environment where patients are greeted with understanding and where clear communication is a priority from the first moment of contact.

Additionally, the practice is committed to transparency in treatment planning. Patients will always be informed about their diagnosis, their options, and the associated costs before any procedures begin, ensuring that there are no surprises and that each individual can make confident, informed decisions about their care.

Serving Pasadena and Surrounding Communities

The new office at 181 N Hill Ave, Pasadena, CA is centrally located and easily accessible to residents throughout the Pasadena area as well as neighboring communities including Arcadia, Monrovia, Temple City, San Marino, Altadena, and beyond. Tsibel Emergency Dental welcomes patients from across the San Gabriel Valley who are in need of urgent dental care and are looking for a reliable, professional practice they can count on.

The practice encourages local residents to save the office contact information before an emergency arises. Knowing exactly where to go and who to call when a dental crisis occurs can significantly reduce the time between the onset of a problem and the moment treatment begins — and in many dental emergencies, that time gap can determine whether a tooth can be saved.

Encouraging the Community to Prioritize Dental Emergency Preparedness

As part of its community outreach efforts, Tsibel Emergency Dental encourages all Pasadena residents to think proactively about dental emergency preparedness. This means knowing the signs of a dental abscess — which can become a serious health risk if left untreated — understanding what to do immediately after a tooth is knocked out, and recognizing when a toothache has progressed beyond the point where over-the-counter remedies can provide adequate relief.

The practice plans to continue providing educational resources to the Pasadena community to help residents make informed decisions about their oral health and to reduce the fear and uncertainty that often accompanies dental emergencies.

Tsibel Emergency Dental is open and ready to serve the Pasadena community. Patients experiencing a dental emergency are encouraged to call immediately or visit the office directly for prompt evaluation and care.

The City of Pasadena and the Black History Planning Committee are pleased to announce that former Pasadena City College track and field athlete and coach Walt Butler will serve as the Grand Marshal for the 2026 Black History Festival, happening Saturday, February 21, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Robinson Park, 1081 N. Fair Oaks Ave. This year’s theme is “Unifying the Culture & Protecting Our Freedom, Passing the Baton to the Next Generation.”

Butler is a local sports legend in the community, having had a storied career in high school football and track and field at Pasadena High School and Pasadena City College, and has since been inducted into the Pasadena Sports Hall of Fame. He has long served his community, having helped youth and seniors as well as the local unhoused community by donating shoes from his own sporting goods store to those in need. In 2025, Butler lost his Altadena home of over 60 years in the Eaton Fire, and despite having suffered such a devastating loss, he is ready to rebuild and help his community rebuild alongside him.

Alongside Butler, Dell and Dudley Stewart will serve as Community Grand Marshals, and the Youth Grand Marshals are Bobby Milton, Carlos Ferreira Gaxiola, Vaughn Cross, Malik Husaini, Danial Jamshidi, Christopher Baghdassarian, Luca Bonnici, and Alec Heberger.

“We are honored to have Walt Butler as our Grand Marshal for the 2026 Festival,” shares Pixie Boyden, Committee Co-Chair. “He is a shining example of who we are as residents of Pasadena, and a testament to our community. While we still grapple with the long-term effects of the Eaton Fire, we are proud to bring back portions of our festival that were cancelled due to circumstances.”

Serving as the emcee of the event will be local journalist James Farr, host of Conversation Live: Altadena Rising. Through his radio program, Farr has explored the deep roots of Altadena’s Black community and its resilience in the wake of the Eaton Fire.

While the parade will not be present this year, the classic car show will make its return, adding to a heartwarming day filled with performances, activities, and much-needed support. Additionally, attendees can enjoy:
