A quaint coffee roaster off of Ventura boulevard. There's street parking as well as a small parking…read morelot in the back. The main thing that stands out here is their 1987 coffee roaster which is the center piece of the cafe. They roast various single origin beans on a daily basis, so you know you can purchase some fresh coffee beans here. If you need your beans grounded, they do grind it for you depending on your brewing method. They have beans of light roast, medium roast and dark roast and sell by various weights for a very reasonable price. They also sell various tea leaves, baked goods (croissant, muffin, scones, bagel, Danish, coffee cake, Dessert Therapy cookies, and merchs. They also have a seasonable menu that changes. When I went, it was the Sakura season menu. Staff were all friendly and were very willing to answer any questions regarding the menu. Please note, the base coffee blend for each day varies and rotates on a daily basis For my visit, I tried ... 1. Buttered Coffee (4.5/5) The base coffee for the day was the Peru single origin, which was well-balanced; slightly sweet with a hint of tartness and nuttiness. They then add a chunk of butter into the coffee, which helps cut some of the acidity, but also is supposed to enhance the caffeine effect and give you additional energy from the fat. It does leave a layer of fat/oiliness so if you are not a fan of that, then this may not be for you. The butter did give it a subtle buttery flavor, which I personally liked. 2. Matcha with Sakura Cold Foam (4/5) The matcha was blended smoothly and was not grassy at all. The Sakura cold foam didn't really taste like Sakura (been to Japan, so know what real Sakura flavor should taste like), but instead, just tasted floral. 3. Columbia Supremo Whole Beans Full body and aromatic. Good for those who like to drink black coffee 4. Guatemala Huehuetenango Whole Beans: Crisp, acidic and a hint of nuttiness Glad I found this local roaster where I'll definitely be coming back to get some more fresh beans.

I also ordered a pastry and was surprised they don't have an oven to warm it up, which made the experience less enjoyable.

The staff is awesome, and the coffee is truly out of this world. I went two days in a row while staying at the Marriott.

My bf and I have been to the Tarzana location once before and although we had to do metered street…read moreparking, it wasn't too bad. But boy oh boy this Van Nuys location nails the parking situation (insert sarcasm). We came by this morning (Saturday) and didn't realize it was inside an office building. It's at the bottom lobby area of this big office building and we didn't think it would be a big deal till we turned into the parking lot and realized it was a pay to enter kinda lot.. I said screw it since I originally turned into the BevMo parking lot next door by accident but I should've stayed there and just walked on over lol. I turned into this paid one since I just wanted to get my coffee and after pushing the ticket machine a few times, it didn't spit out a parking ticket and gate didn't open, I was like welp, back it on outta there lol! The ticket machine also said "check printer" which I thought was odd and maybe just broken? I didn't even think of it being "closed" due to the weekend. I backed out and drove next door to just park (Ace Hardware / Verizon). I walked over finally and this lovely young man named Justin greeted us with the loveliest of vibes. I began to rant a bit about the parking situation and he completely understood and explained how it would've been bad if we somehow got in because the parking guy isn't working weekends and you'd need a key to get out of the lot or something so that would've sucked LOL. Glad we managed to park next door and walked over. Justin had great vibes and really felt like a friend we already knew. Talked about current video games such as Expedition 33 and Deadlock and he made my Iced "Sam" latte all within a timely matter. I love the salted vanilla flavor that you don't typically see on menus in other coffee shops! Perfect balance and tastes fantastic. Great service and glad this coffee run ended well lol! Probably won't come back to this location due to the hassle of it all but I definitely recommend trying their coffee! IG: @ammysalamii

Here's my only two complaints: 1) It's in a medical building (I think) so you have to pay to park in the lot. No validation and limited parking anywhere close. 2) I loved the granola and blueberries on top BUT the drizzled vanilla syrup was too much. Also they use JIF and it's just sugary sweet already! Price was reasonable and service was super quick! When you call to order you are instructed to leave a message or text. They actually text me immediately and asked how they could help.

I think by now we all know Cajé Coffee Roasters is a fan favorite in Downtown Ventura...but if you…read moredon't, now you know! This seriously addicting coffee shop, which started in Santa Barbara, has been a Ventura favorite for quite some time now, and it's been so fun watching them grow. Nestled in a charming converted cottage, this cozy café is the perfect addition to Downtown Ventura. When I stopped by over the weekend, they were insanely busy so I wasn't able to capture much of the space itself for photos but I can promise you it's a cute spot. We opted for outside table dining and it was lovely. To order you stand in line and then order at the counter, they'll bring the food back to your table, but they will call you up to grab your drinks. We ordered a couple of iced lattes and their famous Bella Rose - iced matcha, which was absolutely gorgeous and just as delicious. 10/10. Their drinks are truly little works of art and always worth ordering. To finish off brunch, we grabbed a couple of bagels. One of my favorites is their toasted bagel with tomato, avocado, and cream cheese, it's simple and so satisfying. Next time I'll be trying one of their fruit bowls. The staff here are absolute rockstars. They crank out drink after drink with a smile on their faces while keeping the atmosphere welcoming and fun. We always love stopping by, and if you haven't been yet, consider this your sign to check them out and support a fantastic local business.

The barista was super helpful in guiding us through the menu, which I always appreciate. That kind of warmth makes a difference! We'd definitely come back when we're in the area. If this review helped, a thumbs up means a lot!

As expected, the coffee shop was full and almost every seat was taken so I ended up taking my order to go.

Definitely recommend both locations but if you're looking to dine in or work remotely, better chances at finding a seat in Tarzana as that location is bigger.

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.

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.
