Thirsty Girl Coffee

slow mornings on east 1st street in pomona have a different pace than the ones you'd spend crawling through silver lake or los feliz, and thirsty girl coffee fits that rhythm. locally regarded and independently run, it's the kind of place worth building a morning around rather than rushing through. you don't need a reason beyond wanting something done well and a spot without the noise that follows larger operations. pomona's downtown corridor has been quietly accumulating places like this, small and particular and worth the detour from wherever you're coming from. skip the freeway stress, get there before the late-morning crowd thickens, and let east 1st do the rest. the cortado is a good place to start.
