Hidden gem alert on Arrow Hwy! Papas Best Sandwiches & More in San Dimas serves the kind of sandwiches that make you rethink your lunch routine. The Italian and Via Verde are hometown favorites: stacked high, dripping flavor, and paired perfectly with their pesto pasta or a bowl of lentil soup when that SoCal breeze rolls in. Family-run, full of heart, and worth every slow, sunny minute of the wait.

1132 S Grand Ave, Glendora, CA
Right off Route 66, Glendora Gardens is a place you wander through slowly, coffee in hand, just taking it all in. Between the koi pond, the clucking chickens, and rows of bright Talavera pots, there’s something to smile at around every corner.
Locals love chatting with staff for plant tips or browsing for that perfect hanging fern. It’s peaceful, colorful, and proudly homegrown.
