Drove all the way from Burbank just to check out Carrara's Pastry Shop in Agoura Hills--and wow, they absolutely did not disappoint. It's a small, charming café with a cozy atmosphere, featuring old-school car collectibles displayed on a shelf that add a unique touch. They also offer outdoor seating where you can enjoy your desserts surrounded by lush greenery, natural foliage, and a peaceful little waterfall pond. The service was great as well, they were friendly and welcoming and answered all my questions. suggested I definitely I ended up picking up a chocolate and hazelnut cake with an incredibly soft, spongy interior that was perfectly balanced and rich without being overwhelming. I also grabbed a single serving of the blueberry cheesecake, which was light, airy, and still decadently satisfying--definitely worth every spoonful. The rum babas were a standout: bite-sized, soaked in Jamaican rum, filled with Chantilly cream, and topped with a raspberry. So flavorful and unique--each bite was indulgent without being too heavy. And then there was the Velina cake... oh my goodness. A beautiful sponge layered with chocolate mousse and hazelnut mousse, all covered in a glossy dark chocolate glaze. It was so rich and decadent that I had to slow myself down just to fully enjoy every bite. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully made, and worth the drive. I'd absolutely come back again. read more

I have wanted to stop by for some time. My significant other and I had a chance tonight after dinner next door. We were greeted right away, and we let one of the people working there know we wanted to take a look around as it was our first time stopping in, which was okay. The shop itself was empty. We took a look at the ice cream selection, the full cakes, and then the pastries. Everything looked really good. We decided on a chocolate trilogia pastry and a red velvet pastry to go. The transaction went well. When we got home, we ate the goodies. The trilogia was fresh and had great flavor. The red velvet, unfortunately, did not meet expectations. The cake part was dry, and the frosting was dense and had little flavor. Maybe I just ended up getting an older one, but at $8.25, I had expected a much better item. The service was great, but as a red velvet lover, the flavor was not as expected. I would potentially try again but would sample some other treats. read more

I've stopped into Carrara's in Agoura a few times and it's always such a pleasant experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and everything is beautifully displayed. I recently had a matcha drink there that was honestly one of the best I've had - absolutely delicious, well-balanced, and clearly made by someone who knows what they're doing. Their cannoli are excellent (perfectly crisp shell and creamy filling). I love the pistachios on one end and the chocolate chips on the other, definitely a must-try. The fruit tarts are fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. You can tell the staff works hard to keep things running smoothly, even when it's busy. Everyone stays friendly and professional, which really makes a difference as a customer. It's the kind of place you want to come back to whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or treating yourself to dessert. Definitely a local spot worth supporting. read more

If you are looking for a way to wow your hosts or guests, their combination of flavors, creativity, and presentation are perfect. Customer service can sometimes be slow, so call ahead and plan ahead if you're in a rush. They can do custom name plates in chocolate as well. Not a lot of vegan AND gluten free. read more

Alright Carrara's... You got me.... Twice!! Let me explain On June 14th 2025, after having an amazing dinner at Two Doughs Pizza located within the same shopping plaza, we decided to walk around the Whizin Market Square to walk off our meal. Besides the multiple eateries in the Square, they also have some really fun, eclectic shops where you can find some really neat gifts and/or some really cool finds for your home. While walking through the shops... There. It. Was. Carrara's Pastries. And although I don't normally have a sweet tooth, my wife & kids Always do! So we decided to check it out. And despite my mouth not having a sweet tooth, apparently my eyes do, because as soon as my eyes saw the amazing desserts behind their glass case, I too now wanted, no needed, a dessert of my own. So after perusing their delicious selection... A Frittelle for me... A Red Velvet Cake with fresh berries for my kids... And a Tiramisù sponge cake for my wife. And if you don't think I ordered a cappuccino to go with my pastry, then you just don't know me at all! For a moment there... I felt like we were transported right back to Italy. It reminded me of this little pastry/coffee shop that we went to in Florence right near the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella. Now I say, If a little pastry shop located in Agoura Hills, California can resemble a shop located in Florence, Italy approximately 7,000 miles away, I think they are doing something right. Each dessert was perfectly perfect! Not too sweet and was the perfect serving size to satisfy that sweet tooth that apparently I do have. And now, just a little over a month later, it was time to write my review for Carrara's Pastries. Here is where they got me again! Before writing my review, I looked at what Carrara's stated on their 'from the business' section on Yelp. Their sentiment, their love for what they do and their absolute appreciation for their customers is what makes them stand out from the rest. I love a mom & pop business for this very reason! They do what they do because they have a vision, and that vision is not always about just making a profit or even breaking even. It's often about sharing their passion, their craft, their specialty with the world. To this I say, Bravo to Carrara's Pastries for chasing that dream and doing it wholeheartedly with love. In my book, you are representing the Motherland and making all of the Italian Grandmas proud! Ciao! read more

I absolutely love this place. The staff is always incredibly friendly, and no matter what time you stop by--day or night--they're fully stocked, and everything is freshly made. My all-time favorite treat is the shortbread cookie filled with Nutella and Rice Krispies. They are seriously addictive. The cookie dough is soft and flaky, and the generous filling of Nutella combined with the crispy texture from the Rice Krispies creates the perfect bite. I usually buy a whole box, and they stay soft for at least a week. Even though I live miles away, I'll gladly make the trip just for these cookies. They also offer a wide selection of pastries and desserts, all of which look absolutely delicious. read more

Picked up some cannoli & fruit tarts to go. They always put it in the beautiful boxes- which makes presentation so much better. It's a smaller location than the moorpark one, but the pastries are the same. They have indoor and outdoor seating in the plaza. Service was quick which made it a fast visit.

I dream of CARRARA's PASTRIES in Agoura Hills often due to the most delicious treat of all: FRITELLE!! These sugary balls of heaven (fried dough bread) are filled with their chantilly cream. They remind me so much of malasadas from Hawaii, except they are served chilled, which surprisingly, still tastes incredibly fresh!!! When malasadas cool down, you'll discover how much oil they hold! But these, THESE FRITELLEs, are none other than chef's kiss!! I've also enjoyed their mini fruit tarts and Bigne's! The bignes are similar to coco puffs from Liliha Bakery! Yeah I know...another comparison to a Hawai'i treat, but I can't help it. If I can't be on the island to enjoy those treats, the next best thing is visiting Carrara's Pastries in Agoura Hills, CA! There is such a variety of Italian pastries here. The other night we enjoyed a Fritelle and Bigne with a small pot of hot tea onsite. Customer service was excellent as always and the ambiance provides a warm and inviting space to relax and wind down from the daily challenges that work or life might bring. I really love this Italian Cafe. It's such a gem!! If you order pastries to go, the pink box they are packaged in is adorable. I'm always finding ways to repurpose these!! read more

I love coming to Carrara's to end my evening with a nice drink and something sweet to eat. Carrara's Pastries offers fantastic desserts, cookies, and hot and cold beverages. I love their hot Chai or the Tumeric Latte and usually pair it with their yummy cream puffs! They also have ready made pastries available for purchase. Everything is delicious in there! Seating is limited inside, but so far I have been lucky to find seats with my family. My only complaint is during my last 2 visits, my latte was not hot enough. So, make sure you ask them to heat the milk enough before serving the latte. read more

Visited this cute place after having dinner at wood ranch and so glad we stopped by. They have lots of delicious pastries on display along different coffees and teas.

Even though it was busy they didn't mind taking time to deal with our picky selection. Would definitely come back when in the area. read more

If you are headed to a party, making holiday dinner or want to luxuriate in a delicious dessert--Carrera is the best around. The Tiramisu is better than any I've had, even in shi-shi restaurants, and the Galosa is a pillowy, creamy dream. Carrera wins for the most beautiful deserts--a lovely gift to your host--and also for taste. The coffee is strong and the service is friendly. Treat yourself! read more

The best!! Pastries are fresh & delicious. And the cakes are not to be missed! The staff is always upbeat and helpful. Highly recommend.

The pastries here are delightful, but unfortunately, the service fell short. My husband kindly asked the person working there--who might have been the manager--to clean off an outdoor table that was visibly dirty with leftover food, dishes, silverware, and napkins. The staff member came out with a tray and removed most of the items, but left behind a dirty napkin and spoon and didn't wipe the table. We assumed he would return to finish the job, but instead, we noticed him standing behind the counter. My husband went back inside and politely asked if the table could be wiped properly. The staff member returned and gave the table a very quick wipe down the center. When he started walking away, I stopped him and asked if he could clean the rest of the table, including the area in front of us. At that point, he did wipe the entire surface. While we were disappointed by the lack of attentiveness, we didn't let it overshadow the quality of the pastries, which were quite good. Just a heads-up to others--you might need to take extra initiative to ensure your table is clean. read more

Came in and was greeted by one of the workers super nice and kind he offered my boyfriend and I samples. Not only the employees were nice but the pastries were so good. Would recommend! read more

My family loves this place...from yound to old, never disappointed! Pastries and cakes are phenomenal!

Best place in Agoura Hills, the barista with the nose ring and tattoos was super polite and handled a disgruntled customer in front of us who was upset that they wouldn't take cash she handled it super professionally and even tried to pay for there order. Would 10/10 recommended this place to anyone in the area for a quick and delightful experience would tip this barista well if you see her as I feel she deals with this on the daily too often but she seems super friendly and helpful. I guess some people just can't stand inconveniences of the small business, would def recommend the pastries and coffee here is good as-well. read more

Had a terrible experience with this place on Christmas Eva of all days. We scheduled an order two days in advance to be picked up via DoorDash on the morning of Christmas Eve. But Carrara's closed DoorDash orders that morning, which also canceled our scheduled order. We spoke with DoorDash multiple times but they said because Carrara's had canceled the order there was nothing they could do. We spoke to the manager Faith, and she could not have cared less about the inconvenience they caused us, especially considering this was for Christmas Eve. They did nothing to even try to make this right. We will never go here again. read more
