Some Monday mornings call for more than just an energy drink, and this little coffee shop in…read moreMoorpark has become my go to when I need the real thing. It's conveniently close to my office, making it an easy stop. The pastries are fresh, flavorful, and pair perfectly with the coffee. Speaking of the coffee, you can genuinely taste the quality in every cup. It's smooth, rich, and clearly made with care not your average grab and go coffee. Friendly service, great atmosphere, and consistently good drinks and pastries make this an easy choice whenever I need a morning pick me up. If you're in the Moorpark area, it's definitely worth stopping by.

I never even got to…read moreorder ice cream for myself and enjoy the ice cream here, since I heard the ice cream is great and is a hidden gem in Moorpark on High Street. I was about to go into the shop, to order myself an ice cream for a little treat for myself yesterday. When I came into the ice cream shop, there were two very nasty employees and one of them the older lady with the tattoos and a younger girl with wavy hair, were the most disrespectful people I have ever dealt with in an ice cream shop, how ridiculous does that sound. The older one with the tattoos, disrespected please excuse my language the s*** out of me and was laughing when I was in distress, telling me to have good day and calling me a "s*** show between my mother and I who had an disagreement over something else and it just snowballed from there. The older one in your shop with tattoos all over her arm, was hysterically laughing at me with the other employee and even telling customers with children clearly present what a "s*** show and the little girl of the customer was watching it while your employee with that tattoos, the other employee the girl with the darker hair, and the mother of the child the customer all laughing at me bullying me while I was in distress with my mother who I had an argument with, and then laugh at me about that and on top of it they have no idea what I am going through mentally and emotionally currently on top the argument with my Mom. They only saw the argument happen between my mother and I, and the employee with the tatoos and the other employee she was laughing with and ganging up on me, were the most insensitive vicious ice cream shop people I have ever met and have had to unfortunately deal with and have an extra heartache and headache from. To the employee that evil laughed at me with tattoos and if you are the manager and to the other co worker who laughed with her and ganged up on me, I truly hope you both get help mentally and learn way better customer service skills and be retrained on that immediately. Also, the one with the tattoos please buy yourself a whole new attitude and personality, because that was a vicious and malicious laugh, and then the passive agrssive comment have a great day was so obvious you wanted to be passive agressive and wish the worst on me. I truly hope you grow up, and learn how to be kind to others, be respectful, and know how to deescalate verbal altercations like that, and learn how to have more compassion and empathy for others because at the end of the day you have no idea what people are going through mentally and emotionally on top of a disagreement between a family member and what a person is going through mentally and emtionally on top of that. I never asked to be abused by you and for a verbal altercation to happen. What goes around comes around and treat others the way you want to be treated, and that is the Golden Rule that we all have learned, and respect is a two way mutual street. Same thing goes, to the young immature as well cashier too. Karma will come to you in due time, for your mean girl high school bullying. It's very sad and pathetic I have to even write this long of a Yelp review, on a bunch of nobody's. In conclusion, I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy to give your business money, and a good Yelp review based on those two horrible atrocious employees. The creamy in Westlake and Thousand Oaks, is so much better. I would rather go there and have had plenty of pleasant ice cream dates and runs experiences there. I unfortunately, did not get to try the ice cream here and didn't get a chance to leave a good Yelp review on my ice cream. The ice cream and treats did look good, but those two employees especially tattoo girl needs a good reality check and a whole new brand new attire and personality for sure. Also, to buy herself some class as well. I hope the owner sees this, so you can retrain those two heinous employees on their customer service skills and their nasty abusive bullying behavior and attitudes, and hold them responsible and accountable for how they acted and behaved, it was vert sad and pathetic especially from old tattoo girl. Girl bye, you have absolutely noting to be arrogant about when you are that old working in an ice cream and shop and how you looked which was hideous on the inside and outside with that horrible personality and attitude you have. Also being from Moorpark. Good luck going through life treating people like that and wonder why you don't get respected back. 0/5 Stars from those two employees and the ice cream looked good, but don't go here ever to save yourself the headache and heartache that was unnecessary from tattoo immature old witch and the immature young girl who was a teenage girl bully too too, working in an ice creams shop and being arrogant girl bye to you as well.

It had been a while since my last visit to The Alley. A few friends were setting up camp at the…read morepicnic tables, and I decided to join them on a Saturday afternoon. Much to my surprise, it was about as lively as I had remembered it. The Alley was established during Covid times and offered a retreat to escape from the humdrum of the homestead. These days, its friendly vibe welcomes neighbors and visitors with a backyard setting strewn with twinkle lights and family-style tables. It's a causal scene and easy to soak in the live music, sunlight/moonlight, and neighborly banter. The layout resembles an alley with shops on either side, big open doors invite you to grab something to eat, sample a drink, or shop for handmade gifts. On one side, you've got craft brews and coffee roasters. On the other side, it's local wines and piping hot pizzas. Dogs are welcome all around. At the center of it all, there's live music on the weekends. Modeled after a Beer & Wine Garden concept, The Alley features Enegren Brewery (beer), Lucas Sellers (wine), California Coffee Republic (java), Fire & Vice (pizza), and The Craft House (non-alcoholic tchotchkes). As a self-proclaimed wino, I opted for a sampling of the Lucas Sellers Wines. Ashley, who was behind the bar and top of the pours, gave me good suggestions and offered anecdotes about each wine on tap. At the end of the night, my light pinot paired perfectly with the Mushroom Arugula pizza from Fire & Vice. And I felt right at home, surrounded by friends.

When rang up the screen said $8 plus tax. When I questioned the misprint there seemed to be some confusion and then I was told it was because coconut milk was extra, but should have only been $.60 extra. They adjusted the 40 cents off the price. If the menu says "choice of milk" there shouldn't be an extra charge for the choice. Not a great experience. I wouldn't come back again.

It was watery and the espresso or syrup didn't stand out at all. It kind of just tasted like watered down iced coffee. The banana bread on the other hand was seriously the best banana bread I've ever had. It tasted like a mix of regular banana bread with nuts and a sugar cookie. I've been thinking about it all day. I would definitely give this place another chance and order another drink to see if it's any better. I will update my review after! :)

Stopped by Carrera's Bakery while they were offering samples and ended up completely blown away…read more The triple chocolate cake was outstanding, and the FRITTELLE--a classic Italian fried dough pastry--was unlike any I've ever had. I've been to Italy multiple times and grew up around Italian baking, and this is hands down the best frittelle I've ever tasted. Light, golden, and filled with vanilla custard, then finished with a dusting of powdered sugar, it was truly unforgettable. This is a real Italian bakery, and once you step inside, the space completely opens up--high ceilings, a beautiful interior, and a hidden, speakeasy feel you'd never expect from the street. The young man with blonde hair who helped me was so kind, knowledgeable, and clearly proud of the bakery. It made the whole experience even better. The latte was perfectly done as well. Everything here feels high quality and thoughtfully made. I'll definitely be back. Thank you--support local.

Makenna Coffee is seriously such a hidden gem!…read more I first discovered this place completely by accident a while back when one of my girlfriends and I were on our way to go camping. We were craving coffee, searched for the closest coffee shop, and happened to stumble across Makenna Coffee. I remember absolutely falling in love with their coffee and thinking, "I cannot wait until we come back this way so I can get this again!" Unfortunately, I never ended up making it back... until today! We happened to be in the area for an appointment at the Jeep dealership, and when I realized Makenna Coffee was nearby, there was NO WAY I was leaving without stopping. This was only my second time here, and somehow it was just as good as I remembered. Taylor helped me and she was such a sweetheart! I couldn't remember what I had ordered the first time, so she helped me pick out two different drinks to try -- the Sandy Blonde and the Maui Latte. I ordered them half sweet, and they were still a little sweeter than I normally prefer, but honestly, they were amazing nonetheless. I'm usually a black coffee/Americano kind of girl, but every once in a while I get a serious sweet tooth and want something fun and indulgent -- and Makenna Coffee is PERFECT for that. Their coffee is so good, and there's just something about this little spot that I've loved ever since I accidentally discovered it. I only wish I lived closer because I would definitely be here way more often. If you're ever in this area, do yourself a favor and stop at Makenna Coffee. It's one of those little gems you're so happy you found.

I've needed this bakery for all my life. I only found it…read moreeavesdropping on someone else's conversation about a certain Japanese French bakery in Simi so of course I had to make the pilgrimage. The parking lot is huge and hides this adorably decorated bakery, there are le hérisson means the hedgehog in French and there are cute little books and hedgehog decorations inside, small tables in and out, and a mouth watering display of all the pastries laid out. The first time I got an espresso, chocolate, and almond croissant. Delicious. I love them from great to greatest in that order. The espresso has a strong coffee flavor, the chocolate is unbelievably good, the outside crunch the croissant made before melting into buttery flakey layers, and then punched with a rich chocolate? Stuff dreams are made of. The almond croissant was the biggest hit in my house. Buttery, creamy, crunchy, soft? It's everything you'd ever need. This was so good after I brought it home, everyone immediately had to go the next day. I do see there was a slight difference, the almond croissant felt a little more stale, but nonetheless still addictive and fulfilling. We also got a TON more stuff this trip My favorite was the caprese danish(?) and my least favorite was the peach muffin like things? But all of the items we got were satisfying. 100% recommend a visit
