Cooling Choices on the Menu at Glendora Village Restaurants

            With temperatures hitting the high 90s (and above, whew!), several Glendora Village restaurants have “cool” on the menu.




            Martha’sCandy has long been the spot to scoop up award-winning Thrifty Ice Cream in a variety of flavors into cones, shakes, sundaes and floats.

            Marie Bitonti of Domenico’s Jr. reports that customers are ordering more of its classic antipasto salad. “It’s like a dinner in a salad,” she said. “We also make any or our sandwiches without bread, so they become like a salad.”

            Cooling beverages are being served at Classic Coffee. “Our new ‘Cold Brew’ coffee has been a hit. It is a brewing method that uses cold water and a long steeping time to create a rich, smooth and flavorful coffee,” said Jonathan Lambert, general manager. “We also have Italian Sodas, four types of iced tea, a variety of blended drink from blended mochas to fresh fruit smoothies. I’d recommend our Iced Chai and our iced blended Double Chocolate Mocha.”

            Ed’s Place is selling plenty of salads – chicken salads, Caesar salads, and many customers are ordering breakfasts for lunch, including fresh spinach omelets.


            Salads are also big sellers at Village Vault said Owner Alan Yang. The Vault’s Salad Bar is also busy with customers filling up their plates with cool choices. 

            On another note, Glendora Police Chief Tim Staab issued a notice about public places where residents without air conditioning may cool off (call phone numbers below to confirm open hours):
