What is Black, White, and Udder-ly adorable??…read more No, it is not me in the Tuxedo that I'm wearing right now as we speak... but good guess! =) It's a Cow of Course!! Hey, I'm a Dad and Dad jokes are what we Dads do best! Alright enough shenanigans. I'm going to attempt something different here. I am going to write this review using common COW IDIOMS. Wait! You don't know what a Cow is?? Well, It's a four-legged mammal from the Bovidae Family, also known as Cattle. They can produce milk and are the Main source of Beef. Fun Fact: Some eateries even using "cows" as their Mascot. Oh, you weren't talking about the Cow, you wanted to know what an Idiom was... my Bad lol. Well, An Idiom is "a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words." Thank You Google for that definition! And after reading what an Idiom was, apparently I didn't know what it actually meant either... haha Anywho... Let's "Take this Bull by the Horns" and get this review of Little Calf Creamery and Cafe on the road. Without a doubt, The "Cash Cow" to this little local establishment is probably not the CAFE part, but my guess, it's the CREAMERY half of the business. I mean, who doesn't Love Ice Cream??? Scoops, Sundaes, & Sandwiches all loaded with your favorite creamy dessert?? Yes, Please!! And trust me, every time I come here with my kids, They are "Like a Bull at a Gate" trying to get to the front of the line to place their order for their favorite flavor of Ice Cream. My first thought, slow your roll kids. Dinner first, then we can discuss Dessert. Fast forward to when we get our food.... Some of what I'm about to say is TRUE, but the rest may or may not be "Bull$h1t" that I just made up.... Kid #1 (the oldest): "Daddy, they put ketchup on my hamburger; I didn't want ketchup" Me: "Here's a napkin, just wipe it off" Kid #2 (the middle child): "Daddy, I'm full" Me: "Take 2 more bites please." 8 seconds later.... Kid #2: "Can we get Ice Cream now?" Me: I thought you were full. Kid #2: I took my two bites, how bout that Ice Cream? Kid #2: One Daddy: Zero Kid #3 (she's the baby): "Daddy, I pooped" Me: (to my wife) "hey Babe, I love you...." My Wife: (without skipping a beat) "Diapers are in the car" Me: Yes, dear (lol) Well that's settles that. And I know what you are all thinking... "Holy Cow!" That was close one! Hey, I'm not ready to "Buy the Farm" over no diaper change... I haven't even had my Ice Cream yet. ;) Ok, ok I know it feels like you have been waiting "until the cows come home" for my opinion of this place on whether or not it's worthy of a visit. Hey! No need to "Have a Cow", cause here it is.... Little Calf Creamery and Cafe is a fun little local shop in Thousand Oaks that serves up delicious Ice Cream with some familiar flavors and also some flavors that will spark your interest... -Moorpark Road (their take on Rocky Road) -Roasted Coffee!! -Witches Brew...Spooky!! In addition to their Ice Cream, they've got lunch and dinner covered so you can take a break from the kitchen... And doing the dishes for that matter! Last visit, the favorite food item rated by the kids and by me.... Their Kids menu Chicken Tenders and Fry Basket! All I can say.... "Holy Cow"... We are definitely coming back for more of those bad boys. Until Next time... There is "No Cow On Ice" Cause Little Calf in T.O. has got everything under control.

Recently, I got together with two dear women friends for lunch at North Ranch Plaza. After…read moreenjoying our meal and chat at the Italian restaurant, we weren't ready to part yet, and wanted something light for dessert. Tifa! This was the closest location, and a perfect spot to hang out for a while longer. After scoring our small gelatos, we headed out to sit in the sunshine adjacent to the fountain out front. It was just warm enough to be pleasant, and the wind mostly behaved by not chasing napkins away on the breeze. Since I had to give up dairy a few years ago, it's such a pleasure to be able to count on Tifa for having three to four flavors each day without it. The little tea wafers they add to the gelato are delightful for their delicate flavor and flaky texture. Whoever does the hiring for their shops seems to do a great job of finding friendly employees who display warmth in their welcoming greetings. I understand that the real estate prices at this center must be expensive, but it's a shame that the indoor space here is very tight. A number of the other Tifa locations have more elbow room, and encourage lingering by offering games and puzzles to keep the young and young-at-heart amused while enjoying their gelato and chocolate treats. That's the only reason for four stars instead of five here.

However, they had free tastings which made it easier! I ended up opting for the honeycomb crunch. As soon as we paid, my family and I walked around Ojai whilst enjoying the ice cream. It was soooo good. The ice cream was creamy and adorned with crunchy bits of honeycomb. It wasn't too sweet and was gone all too quickly. Overall, Ojai Ice Cream was a quick but delicious visit. It's right in the middle of town which makes for an easy stop whilst in Ojai. Definitely give it a go if you're in the mood for a sweet treat!

This past week was my second visit in to Coaches Old Fashioned Ice Cream. They had a variety of ice…read morecream flavors to choose from. Some of the flavors are more traditional like mint n chip, cookie dough, chocolate brownie, etc. They also have other flavors that they have made themselves like It's A Goody. It was hard to know what was in the ice cream because the sign only says the name and doesn't give a description of the flavor. A description would be very helpful as a customer. I asked the young man working what was in the cappuccino ice cream because it looked like some type of nut and he didn't know. We decided to grab a single scoop of the chocolate brownie. This flavor was delicious and perfect for a chocolate lover. I would get this one again. We also got It's A Goody which was vanilla ice cream with chocolate chunks and peanut butter chunks in it. We also ordered the cinnamon one, but we were not given the cinnamon one, we were given the banana pudding one. Thankfully we really liked the banana pudding one because that's not the one we asked for. I think there's some room for improvement at Coaches but I still enjoyed the ice cream.

Having been there twice, I see how this worked for his campaign, because their ice cream is really solid! It's creamy, not too dense, and the flavors really standout. The seasonal Lemon Crinkle and the Wildberry Lavender are my favorites. Compared to other big ice cream chains in the LA area, it's not as good as Salt and Straw in terms of quality and uniqueness of flavors. Quality is pretty on par with Wanderlust Creamery, and originality of flavors is similar to that of McConnell's Fine Ice Cream.
