Close to Walnut? Or are you Mt. SAC staff or student? Or maybe you're trapped at Cal Poly Pomona, this is THE place to go to get some pretty decent food without traveling all the way out to Rowland Heights or elsewhere.
Great for Mt. SAC students especially since it's right across the street. Careful with the parking though, they used to tow, but it's been ages since then.
I think my only qualm is, and I'm showing my age right here, is that a lot of the bigger name stores are now gone. I'm talking about the Stater Brothers that used to be here and the Dollar Tree (now at the Village), sucks that now there's no real "local" grocery store. Students have to wander farther now and I guess the denizens of Walnut have to as well.
I miss the Burger King that used to be there (now a Starbucks), and I think the closest Burger Kings have me wander into the heart of West/Covina or La Puente, and the Jack in the Box too was a big loss. Those cheap tacos were a lifesaver for lots of students and the replacement now is a bit pricey.
I know I'm just nostalgia posting but I also miss MJ's and Coffee Break. Great place to get drinks, study, and to get sizzling plates or lunch plate/bento box sets. Really filling and great memories at the time.
As for now, the real heavy hitters and the reason I keep coming back to this plaza is for Goomo (they have a lot of deals, just follow their IG and their variety of drinks and snacks are great) and Menya Hanabi. There's a couple other spots, but these are the reasons I keep coming back as an old who hasn't been a student, at least a serious one, for a long time. read more
