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 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!

I ordered the sugar-free vanilla oat latte, and my brother-in-law got the cold brew with milk. I also picked up a Dubai chocolate cookie and a chocolate croissant. The coffee never disappoints--there's so much flavor in every sip, with a subtle hint of honey that really stands out. You honestly just have to try it. They also offer seasonal drinks and fun specialty drinks, including ones with cereal, which adds a unique touch. The pastries are just as amazing. The cookie was perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, just right. The chocolate croissant, especially when warmed, is incredible. The chocolate melts perfectly, giving you the perfect bite every time. Overall, the food is great and the coffee is outstanding. Customer service is just as impressive. Ethan is usually there whenever I stop by, and he's always so welcoming and patient, especially when we take our time deciding on drinks. He never disappoints. I also love sitting in--the space is very cozy and makes you feel right at home. They offer both indoor seating and a nice outdoor option if you want some fresh air. I'll definitely keep coming back

Pretty big space inside, some seating for you to meet up with someone or work. I asked what's the most popular drink and he said the vanilla iced latte. I went with that as all the specialty drinks didn't interest me too much and seemed like they would be too sweet. It didn't take too long until it was ready. Nice flavor! Strong coffee without being bitter whatsoever, it tastes like good quality espresso. And it wasn't too sweet, I got it half sweet with the vanilla, and it was nicely balanced. I wish there were less sweet specialty coffee options so I could try something more unique but it was still good!

I do want to like this place and support a local business.... But. They just don't make it easy…read more The location is great. Neat little place and I love the local art. Those are the positives and that's where it ends. Let's start with the main product, coffee. It's HORRIBLE! I could be snarky and insulting but I kind of feel bad for them. I've tried a few drinks and there is this crazy after taste that is simply unpleasant. The baked goods are hot and miss at best. Often dry and tasteless. Now, the staff. Over the years they've had some wonderful people, but the good ones don't seem to stay more than a few months. For whatever reason they retain anyone devoid of personality and energy. Product knowledge is virtually nonexistent. Enthusiasm? You'd think that the caffeine would wake them up, but no. It's like they are on heroin. I've interacted with someone who I'm told was the owner, but I can't imagine someone so blah and uninterested decided to open a coffee shop. This place has potential if they simply replace the coffee, staff, and sell to someone who actually cares.

Everyone knows of their sister business Smokin Jays but I am here to spread the word on their AM morning breakfast bites and coffee shop. The vibes here are always immaculate. Stepping inside they are always playing the best tunes (a little throwback Post Malone on the speakers at 9am to be exact) and a crew behind the counter that genuinely seems like best friends. The jokes and laughter flying around make this spot feel fun, welcoming, and real. The staffs positive attitudes are contagious, that's for sure. Now let's get into the good stuff....what did I order?: SAUSAGE & BACON BREAKFAST CROISSANT Low key one of the most slept on breakfast sandwiches in the 805. Candied bacon, juicy sausage patty, perfectly cooked egg, melty cheese on a warm buttery croissant. Absolute perfection. 10/10. GET THIS! Pro tip: grab the side of hash browns. The gooey cheese from the sandwich inevitably falls onto those crispy bites and suddenly you're in full food coma heaven. ICED MATCHA W/ STRAWBERRY COLD FOAM If you're a matcha lover, this one hits and it's a bit sweet (no complaints here). It's just good! They've got the brightest pink cold foam in the game, super refreshing, and just really well done. Is it ceremonial grade? I don't think so but sometimes a good matcha with fun foam is just what you needed regardless. WATERMELON MINT REFRESHER Not a coffee person? Their fruit refreshers are dangerously good. The watermelon mint is crisp, will cool you down, and super refreshing (hence the name). Tasty breakfast bites, solid drinks, and a badass crew. If you haven't pulled up to Potheads yet...what are you doing? Go check them out ASAP and if you take away one thing from this write up: get the breakfast sandwich!

It's actually a BBQ restaurant with a coffee shop inside, so you can grab food and amazing coffee at the same time. The staff was super friendly and greeted us right away, which I always appreciate. We love a welcoming spot Their menu had sooo many options it was hard to pick, so I asked for their recommendations. They suggested the Butter Beer Latte and the Cookie Ice Latte, so of course I grabbed both... and I couldn't leave without my favorite, a sugar-free vanilla oat latte. Every drink was flavorful and unique, but honestly my regular was AMAZING--so creamy and perfect. I'd go back just for that any day! And then... we saw they had beignets How could I say no?! 100/10. They were coated in this sweet glaze and wow... they hit different. I was so sad eating the last one because I wanted more lol. We also tried the banana pudding on the way out. I'm not usually a banana pudding fan, so it wasn't my favorite, but if you like banana desserts you'll probably enjoy it. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking them out for yourself!
