Carrara's Pastries in Moorpark never disappoints. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the…read moreattention to detail here is genuinely impressive. Within ten seconds of walking in, I was greeted by Ama, who set the tone for the whole visit. She was warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout. She even let me sample different gelato flavors and suggested some great dishes to try on my next visit. That kind of thoughtfulness goes a long way. The affogato here is on another level. Most places serve it in a paper cup where the espresso and gelato just blend into a mushy mess. Not here. Carrara's presents it beautifully on a stone tray, with a proper espresso cup and a transparent glass so you can actually see the layers of gelato and espresso. And Ama personally poured the espresso tableside, which really topped off the whole experience. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

The campanelle shape is the perfect vehicle for the bright marinara sauce and pairs well with chunky pieces of mushroom, zucchini, and perfectly-cooked cherry tomatoes. This was the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely brunch with friends, and I can't wait to visit again!

The selection of Mexican pastries was huge and they were all absolutely delicious. Wonderful flavors and exceptional quality. Everybody at the party loved them, and the people that worked there were very helpful and friendly. Based upon this experience, we decided to try Carla's for our Christmas Eve tamales and chili rellenos. We got two dozen tamales ( pork and chicken) and 6 chilli rellenos. We've ordered tamales from several local restaurants, but these were easily the best we've had. Plenty of filling and delicious masa. We also got some of their red salsa as a topping. The chillis were huge and had a unique delicious flavor. The restaurant staff was again very friendly and helpful. I think we've found a new home for our Christmas Eve meal. The amazing thing is that this place has apparently been in Moorpark for several years!!! What the heck, how did we miss this???

Located in a strip center at the entrance to Moorpark Community College, this is a VERY cute little…read moregelato shop with a nod towards Italian decor. While they do make a good amount of flavors, they aren't all available at the same time. At first, I thought I might have difficulty finding two flavors that I wanted because I am used to selecting from more like 20 to 30 flavors at other gelato shops, but it was no problem at all. Half of the offered flavors here at Che Gelato were of a fruit/ice base (sorbetto), which I just wasn't in the mood for... but I definitely liked all the fruit flavors. That left about 8 to 10 gelato (cream-based) flavors, of which I chose Nutella and dulce de Leche. I usually opt for gelato in a cup, but this time, I got it in a handmade, gluten-free waffle cone. As with most gelato, this was so flavorful and creamy. Even the cone was delicious, very light and crunchy with good flavor. The scoop size was generous, and I almost didn't finish it because I got full, but then, I did find a way to devour it all. It just tasted so good !! I'm definitely looking forward to trying more flavors, but I could just as easily re-order the same flavors that I just had because they were so delicious. I wonder how often they change flavors. I need to call and ask them !!

Picked 6 different buns, ordered 12, tater tots, one of their special iced coffees(which was unbelievable) and the cinnamon roll(because I have a huge sweet tooth).

I came here to try out California Bun, an eatery that has harnessed an interesting (long overdue) concept, to package portable food. Here they prepare snack sized bites (or a little more) of favorite food fancies, enveloped in a daily fresh baked round brioche bun. The store is high ceiling, spacious and large, with ample space to dine in or carry out. It is a mom and pop joint, that is slowly but surely, beginning to make a mark. On the main wall, elegantly displayed, are all the many enticing varieties, for the day. My visit was designed to take something to go. The conundrum here is, what to order, because there were so many inviting choices that were talking to you. I finally decided to select three of these evenly browned and differently topped buns. The El Sabroso (Egg, cheddar & jack cheese, bacon & Jalapeno salsa, garnished with Cheese, bacon & jalapeño). The Roadside Burger (Seasoned ground beef, grilled onions, white American cheese, & secret house burger sauce, garnished with Cheese & bacon). The Mac Daddy (Creamy mac and cheese with a cheddar, jack, and parmesan cheese blend, garnished with Panko bread crumbs). So whats the verdict? The Mac Daddy was my least favorite. In comparing the other two, the Roadside Burger seemed to have the higher of (inside filling/inside bread) ratio, as compared to the El Sabroso. However, the latter is the most attractive bun on the outside and overall, contains a good mix of flavors and slight kick. Any food with a visible Jalapeño is a magnet, for me. Still, this concoction needs more of the egg mixture, to achieve the right balance. In general, all 3 buns were soft, had a nice texture, bread taste and chew. Service here is warm, inviting, friendly and informative.

From the second we walked in, the space felt alive, warm, welcoming, & effortlessly cool. The people were super rad, the kind of energy that makes you feel like you belong there even on your first visit. Customer service? Genuine. Food? Delicious. Ambiance? Pure good vibes. We ordered the bubblegum boba, got the big one, and shared it, which somehow made it taste even sweeter. Every sip felt nostalgic and playful, like childhood joy dressed up in a cup of happiness. The price was moderate, but completely worth it. You're not just paying for boba... you're paying for an experience, a mood, a little pocket of joy in the day.

A client sent us a large glass jar filled with Luvbug Chocolate Chip Cookies. I've never heard of…read moreLuvbug, but the cookies looked so good I couldn't wait to try them. Luvbug's signature chocolate chip cookies are big, thick, and loaded with chocolate chips. The cookie is firm, and the sweetness comes from the semi-sweet chocolate chips. It taste great out of the jar. However, you can also heat it up in the microwave (or toaster oven or in a pan on the stove). Warming them up takes them to a whole other level of deliciousness. The cookie becomes soft and oozes with chocolaty goodness. Pure heaven! Luvbug cookies are baked fresh daily in small batches and hand delivered locally. Erica, the owner, learned how to bake at a young age from her grandma Peral. Her grandma would refer to her grandkids as LuvBugs and that inspired the name of Erica's business. There are a number of gift options available and a variety of cookies to choose from, including Vegan. If you really want to impress someone I suggest sending them some Luvbug cookies. They are far better than Mrs. Fields.

Kudos to Freda's for this. The Focaccia Rustico -- This was the best part of our meal. It came out freshly baked and so satisfyingly delicious as we dipped in the small bowl of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Portions - Generous. Parking - Lots of options nearby and free. The disappointments...(see pics) Food delivery - There was a long wait during our visit. We overheard a waitress tell a table who arrived after us that the kitchen was backed up. Gnocchi -- This did not look like the picture on their website. The gnocchi was perfectly cooked but was barely covered with sauce. My husband initially thought that they served me Mac n' Cheese by mistake. I could not taste the sun-dried tomato at all. The added shrimp was seared on only one side and was severely under seasoned. Then as we drove home, I notice that the price we were charged ($25+$9 (shrimp)=$34) did not match the menu or the website that noted $24+$8=$32. This overcharge was minor but added to the overall disappointment. Braised Short Rib - This was closer to the website but with far less au jus. The carrots were terrible. They were not roasted, tasted boiled and had a rubbery texture. The short rib was fork tender but very salty. The mashed potatoes were good. We skipped dessert. Sadly, we won't be returning.
