Funny enough, it was a barista at my favorite coffee shop who recommended I give this place a try,…read morenot because it was better than Beacon, but because it was another great option while in Oxnard. I was a bit skeptical at first, but once I arrived and saw the owner roasting his own beans outside, my concerns were quickly put to rest. Overall, the coffee shop is great. The baristas are always friendly and helpful, and even though the place is often busy and packed, their customer service never falters. As for the drinks, I can only speak to their espresso and basic coffee, but in that area, they do not disappoint. While I don't think the roast is quite as good as Beacon, it is a very strong second in the area. Whenever I'm in Oxnard, I don't hesitate to stop by Dolce Vita for a great caffeinated drink.

We ordered a couple of lunch boxes from Honey Cup Coffeehouse & Creamery for our trip to Channel…read moreIslands National Park after they were recommended by Island Packers Cruises. And let me tell you, when you're heading to an island for kayaking and hiking, securing food starts to feel less like lunch planning and more like wilderness survival strategy. The online ordering process, though, gave my husband a minor technological character-building experience. Not especially intuitive or user friendly. Then, on the morning of the trip, we weren't entirely sure where the lunches would actually appear. Tiny scavenger hunt energy. Thankfully, they were waiting for us at the ferry office, and we both immediately took the same relieved breath: "Excellent. We shall not perish on the island." The sandwiches themselves were genuinely delicious. I had the Caprese, my husband had the turkey baguette, and both were fresh, flavorful, and substantial enough to fuel actual adventure instead of just delaying hunger by 20 minutes. Each lunch box also came with chips, Fuji water, and a chocolate chip cookie that quietly stole the show. Soft, delicious, and exactly the kind of reward you want after hauling yourself around an island pretending you're far more athletic than you really are. By the time lunch was over, I was happy, full, and fully prepared for the next round of kayaking and hiking. Which is really the highest compliment an adventure lunch can get.

Found this place on an early weekend morning. Not busy yet and the food cases looked so tasty…read more Settled on a strawberry looking croissant and our typical chocolate croissant. Ordered coffee and took our goods down the street to watch the seals. Only ordered the drip coffee, nothing fancy here, but it was excellent. Good roast on the darker side, my only concern are the lids. Hot coffee filled to the top and as I lift my coffee the lid pops off sprinkling coffee as I tried to reach the counter to set it down. The lid didn't fit tight, so I asked for another lid. It stayed on as I walked to my table, but popped off again as I left. The strawberry custard croissant was flaky, smooshy and the berry itself was a marvel of ripeness and color. If you read my other reviews, I have a thing for chocolate croissants. This one was flaky and perfect looking and the honey on the shell made the layers of laminated dough even better. My first few bites were non-chocolate filled and filled with air pockets between the layers of dough. Once I reached the thin layer of chocolate, it was underwhelming. I may have to go back again and give it one more try.

I ordered some corned beef to be scrambled into my eggs which was tasty but $32? No way! I was not expecting that! And I honestly don't think it was worth it because half the meat was so fatty I couldn't even eat it. Yes HALF! Had it been lean corned beef all the way through? Then I wouldn't even bother mentioning it. Our server, bless her heart explained that the breakdown was $22 for the corned beef and $10 (I think) for the 3 eggs again the portion of meat I got was not worth $22. Owner/management? Please consider how you're charging your customers as well as the portion quality Still... I love the food here and recommend dining here for sure!!

We had a great Valentine's Day brunch at Hollywood Beach Cafe!…read more We joined the Yelp waitlist while walking over from our hotel and ended up waiting only about 25 minutes for a table around 10am, honestly impressive for Valentine's Day. The process was super easy and made the wait feel seamless. We were seated on the "outdoor" patio, which was absolutely delightful. It's covered, so it feels like you're inside, but it's still open-air and pup friendly, which we loved. They even have a pup menu and bring out little metal water bowls. Our doggo was living his best life. The menu is large with tons of options. We initially tried using the QR code (which is great because it includes photos), but ultimately asked for a paper menu, sometimes it's just easier to flip through. My husband ordered The California (eggs, bacon, and pancakes). This breakfast also comes with toast and your choice of potatoes. We upgraded to the chili cheese tots, thinking it was just a small upcharge from the standard side, and didn't realize until we got back to the hotel that we were charged $8 for them, which was a bit disappointing. That said, the tots were tasty (just eat them quickly because they cool off fast!). His eggs were cooked perfectly, but the $3.50 upcharge to add blueberries to the pancakes felt steep, and the bacon was mostly fat and a bit overcooked. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros with poached eggs, and the eggs were absolutely perfect. The dish was bursting with flavor. My only critique was that the beans were a bit too liquid-heavy, which made the tortilla very soggy, I couldn't finish as much as I would've liked because of that. The Bloody Marys, though? So good. Highly recommend! We both loved them. Our server was pleasant and friendly. Oh and there was a Char Man hot sauce on the table that was EPIC! Overall, we would definitely come back, we'd just try a few different menu items next time... except for the Bloody Marys. Those are a repeat order for sure.

The cinnamon bun french toast was SO delicious. I will absolutely come back next time I'm in town just to re-order this dish. Perfectly fresh and fluffy! I also ordered sausage and poached eggs as my sides for the combo, which were alright. The service was a bit slow because it was packed, which made sense since it was a Saturday morning rush. We had to flag down our waitress for the check, but she was very kind and sweet when talking to us. Overall, it was a nice family spot that I will be visiting again for their cinnamon bun entrees :)

It was my first time trying this truck and the aesthetic is super cute! Very pink, very creative, overall very girly and positive. I've tried 2 of their matcha drinks since and my only complaint is that I have trouble getting tome off of work in order to go order something but you can tell that their drinks are high quality and I like that they change up their stickers frequently (like every month). I also like that they have a regularly changing location for their truck that they post to their instagram. I've tried their iced strawberry matcha and it's been my favorite. I haven't been adventurous enough to try any other drinks yet but will continue to support them and maybe one day try something different.

Their pop-up was right by my job, so a lot of us went to grab an afternoon pick-me-up. There were so many fun drinks to try!

From the start, everything felt seamless--easy parking, a beautifully clean space, and genuinely welcoming staff who made the experience feel warm and inviting. The pastry case was nothing short of stunning, with each item looking like a work of art. I chose the marble cake, an almond croissant, and a large heart-shaped pistachio pastry--and every single bite delivered. The croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery, the marble cake incredibly moist and balanced, and the pistachio pastry rich, delicate, and absolutely indulgent. Even during the busy 8 AM rush, the wait time was only about 10 minutes, which speaks to how efficiently everything is run without sacrificing quality.

I also learned that they use Maui milk, which is a secret ingredient milk that they use for their milk. It's very nice inside giving beach vibes and very energetic!! It's very clean and spacious. It has many seats as well and merch to buy! Cool ambiance for sure to take a coffee break! They have many different types of drinks here! I am happy one is opening near me in Northridge!!

I tried a couple different drinks (and a dessert) so I could give an honest review, and everything was amazing. I ordered my usual, a sugar-free vanilla oat latte with cold foam, and it was perfect--from the espresso to the cold foam on top. I also asked for a recommendation, and the barista suggested their Biscoff coffee. That one absolutely blew me away! They even added pieces of Biscoff cookie on top, and I instantly fell in love with it. For dessert, we tried their mango sago. I honestly don't even know everything that was in it, but wow--it was so good. I could've easily eaten the whole cup myself The only thing I wish they had is a few food options, because I'm sure they'd be just as great. Their location can vary since they pop up in different spots, so I recommend checking their Instagram before going. The line was long, but honestly that's expected when the drinks are this good--so just be prepared. I'll definitely be coming back to try more flavors!

It's easiest to follow this shops menu and hours by following them on Instagram as they don't have a traditional website now. They seem to be popular from social media and word of mouth. Location: you go up the windy road towards the CSUCI campus and this home shop is located towards the top by the housing complex's. DM or text to place your order. Open 7-days a week, 8am to 6pm or as documented on her Instagram. The location is shared with you once you've confirmed your order and paid online. I understand why the address isn't given in advance because you can only order online first, this isn't a brick and mortar shop where you show up and place an order. Payments are virtual (Apple Pay etc). There isn't client/person interaction, your drinks are left for you to pickup and it was a seamless transaction. Maybe the first time takes a little getting used to but once you figure it out it's pretty easy. Here's what I got: ICED PUMPKIN CHAI: The perfect cozy fall sweater weather drink. The pumpkin is pronounced and this drink it's perfectly sweet. The chai is flavorful without being too much. Loved the cream topper, it's a classic fall drink done right. ICED BEETLEJUICE LIMEADE: For the non-coffee drinker or little ones - this tart and fun limeade hit the spot. The drink couldn't be cuter with the gummy worms and candies on top. Such a fun drink! I love supporting local small businesses and I'd rather put my money towards an independent Local business woman making stellar coffee drinks then paying more money to go to a chain with long lines and no unique drink drinks. I felt like the prices were very reasonable, the large drinks seem to run about $7 give or take, but it depends what you get. Definitely will be coming back!
