Huntington Catering truly stands out amongst other caterers, they care about their food and service - and it shows. We hired HC for our wedding to handle our dinner service, bartending and appetizers during cocktail hour. Our initial tasting with them was actually one of our most treasured memories from the wedding process, they treated us so nicely and served us so many options for drinks and dinner that we could choose from. By the end of the tasting, we felt like we had a dream menu for our wedding - and we really did! Plus, they were QUITE generous with the portions they gave us during the tastings … of both the food AND cocktail options lol. Made for a fun, relaxed and delicious experience. We had a pasta-based menu for the wedding day and it was insanely good. We kept getting raving

This place is so cute, and bummed that it took me too long to stop by. It is located in a hard to see corner in the same place as Trader Joe’s. The inside is nicely decorated and the menu is simple and filled with nourishing foods. I walked out with the very berry banana smoothie, and it was so refreshing and delicious!

Absolutely love this place! I take the kids I nanny to this spot and it's wonderful. There's a good amount of seating in here so it's a good place to chill on a hot day while you have a cold drink. They love the cacao crazy smoothie. I've gotten food here a couple times and it's very fresh and great quality. But what I love most is the staff!! I'm kicking myself for forgetting her name but she's been working here since they opened and she's there every single time I go in. She has the kids (very specific) order memorized and is always so happy and helpful and we love her so much!! The place wouldn't be the same without her ❤️ we will continue to come here again and again.

I have wanted to stop in and support this local gem since they opened, and last night made my way in for a smoothie. I'm so glad I chose to support a locally owned place because not only was my smoothie absolutely delicious, the worker was above and beyond kind and really cared not only about where she worked -- but about South Pasadena as a community. This is why I love supporting local business... it really makes a difference and maybe the smoothie tasted even better because of the care put in by the worker.

So nice that The Daily has opened! I just tried it today for lunch. They have a selection of grab and go salads, sandwiches, and sides, made fresh each day, and they also have made to order juices, smoothies, and bowls. I went along with my husband. He ordered the Spicy Italiano sandwich and a green juice. I ordered a custom bowl ("like Chipotle but better" as they told me) and the green smoothie. The bowl seemed pretty simple but it was such a nice combination of ingredients. I added the chicken which was really good, and I got the harissa ranch sauce to finish it- very tasty, a little spicy. We had to sample each other's choices too. Everything is really fresh with nice high-quality ingredients and the recipes are excellent, more elevated and considered than your typical lunch cafe. The
