Started decades ago by the South Pasadena mayor Dick Richards, Buster’s remains the place to get your caffeine-and-sugar fix. The café offers lunch fare that’s whipped up in-house, plus locally made Fosselmen’s ice cream. Regulars come back for the frosted mocha (an ice cream-espresso shake) and live jazz Sunday night.
