Top 10 Places To Eat Around APU

Sometimes the cafeteria just doesn’t cut it. Sometimes you're tired of getting sick from double meat at Mexicali. Sometimes you don’t want to see everyone you know in the den. And sometimes West Campus is just not worth the trolley drive. In cases like these, it’s good to know that hot spots to eat around APU. Some are within walking distance and others are worth the drive. Have you tried all 10?

The Habit


Located right across the street by the movie theater, you'll definitely get in the habit of eating here. Great burgers, sandwiches, and salads, and some of the best sweet potato fires you’ll ever have!


Chick-fil-A

It’s only about a two minute walk from any living area on campus. It's always a good time for chick FIL a: breakfast lunch or dinner... Just pray it isn't Sunday. If you haven’t been there do you even go to APU?


Taco King


Right by West Campus, it is the perfect spot for that late night horchata craving. What's not to love?


Castanedas (Santanas)


It has a new name but still has the same great late night food. Perfect for those midnight burrito or carne asada fries cravings.

Lavender and Honey

It’s a little bit of a drive to this Pasadena espresso bar, but worth every penny of gas! Enjoy feeling like a hipster in this hot spot coffee shop and enjoy their great lavender and honey toast.


Donut Man

Because you really can’t go wrong with a 24 hour donut shop, am I right?


Flappy Jacks

If you can’t make it all the way to donut man, it's the perfect Saturday morning breakfast… Or Sunday morning after church... Or skip chapel on Monday...


In-N-Out

For all of you unfortunate out-of-staters who have never experienced true joy: it's what a hamburgers all about. You can find any In-N-Out location on the corner of quality food and freshness you can taste.


Urth Cafe

This Pasadena café has anything you could ever need. Also, I heard Kylie Jenner goes there sometimes... Count me in.


Cake Mamas

Located right on Route 66, this Cupcake Wars winning bakery is the perfect spot for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
