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.

This location is charming, albeit smaller than the Flagship Ventura location. They still keep that…read moreEuropean charm and due to the smaller space, it is a cozier, calmer cafe. When I was there, it was mid afternoon (before closing) so it was calmer all around. I love their pastries, but the recent price increases do make them a luxury item. Kouign Amann are my fave, but any of their croissants are also great. Had a Hot chocolate at the Camarillo location, and they even had a little latte art in the milk foam. Server was much more talkative and friendly because it wasn't crowded when I went. In general I felt a friendlier warm vibe compared to Ventura location, but either one is great for classic European vibe, and great pastries.

It's a casual & cute cafe that always hits the mark and we love seeing their growth all over the 805. I stopped in for an iced matcha and decided to try something new and I'm so glad I did. Huge kudos to Ashley for recommending their breakfast crepe (not something I'd normally order, but WOW was it good). BREAKFAST CREPE: A fluffy crepe filled with soft, melty brie, eggs, bacon, arugula and tomatoes, absolutely delicious and so well balanced. I'd get this again in a heartbeat. 10/10 ICED MATCHA: Washed it all down with a sweet iced matcha, just how I like it...lightly sweet, a little creamy, and still packing that earthy matcha flavor. 8/10. Definitely a great location in the heart of old town camarillo. Nice staff, clean interior, cozy vibes and good food.

An absolute gem. I stopped in on my way to Oxnard for work after being referred by a friend, and…read morethis place exceeded every expectation. From the start, everything felt seamless--easy parking, a beautifully clean space, and genuinely welcoming staff who made the experience feel warm and inviting. The pastry case was nothing short of stunning, with each item looking like a work of art. I chose the marble cake, an almond croissant, and a large heart-shaped pistachio pastry--and every single bite delivered. The croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery, the marble cake incredibly moist and balanced, and the pistachio pastry rich, delicate, and absolutely indulgent. Even during the busy 8 AM rush, the wait time was only about 10 minutes, which speaks to how efficiently everything is run without sacrificing quality.

Mmmmmmm... I also tried the chocolate muffin which was so 5/5!! So fresh and when you warm it up, it's even better. The service was good and since it was my first time, the lady who worked there was very informative on what to try. I also learned that they use Maui milk, which is a secret ingredient milk that they use for their milk. It's very nice inside giving beach vibes and very energetic!! It's very clean and spacious. It has many seats as well and merch to buy! Cool ambiance for sure to take a coffee break! They have many different types of drinks here! I am happy one is opening near me in Northridge!! Gotta try Makenna! -Marshay D.

What I've been super eager to get back here to try is their partnership with Flour Power Coffee Company located inside Village Cafe. Their cafe speciality drinks menu is amazing. The flavors and pairings are what make this spot a stand out amongst other coffee shops. They have flavors like Ube, Blueberry, and Yuzu. Your girl is a sucker for all things Yuzu and when I saw that they had a Yuzu Matcha I knew I had to race over here to try it. I can confirm that their Iced Yuzu Matcha is a 10/10. It's dangerous how good this tastes and even more concerning as this spot is wayyyy too close to my house. I really have no willpower to stay away...I'll be seeing them soon. A final pro tip: don't sleep on their Ube Bagels. Make sure you get here early before they sell out.

If I didn't care about my health & my family history of diabetes, I would come here every day, multiple times a day. Every night I sleep sad knowing I didn't come here. On the real though it's so good here lol. However sometimes the service can feel unwelcoming when the worker gives you attitude & scrolls on her phone while you're giving your order. Regardless, I'm here for the drinking chocolate. There are other workers that are pleasant and have a warmer welcome so it makes up for it!

I recently visited Tifa Chocolate & Gelato in Camarillo and it ended up being one of the most…read moreenjoyable dessert stops I've had in a long time. Small town feels and friendly vibes. The moment you walk in, you're hit with the rich aroma of chocolate and freshly made waffle cones. It immediately set the tone for a "treat-yourself" type of visit. The shop has a warm, inviting atmosphere with a boutique feel, and the display cases are filled with beautifully crafted chocolates, baked goods, and of course, a vibrant selection of gelato flavors. The selection was happily almost overwhelming, so many fun and unique flavors to choose from. I ultimately ordered my tried and true favorite - the stracciatella gelato. Creamy and delicious, a classic choice. Next time I'll have to do a multi-choice stack because since visiting my friends have told me you can order a few different flavors on the same cone which I didn't think of. What also stood out to me also was the staff, they were friendly, patient as I explored the shelves for that perfect bite, and were genuinely enthusiastic. They were more than happy to offer samples and share recommendations. I believe the staff member who helped me was named Michael/Mike? Very nice people work here. The overall experience at Tifa makes it obvious why it's so well loved by the community. Happy to come back again soon to try some more flavors.

Beverages we tried the honey bear latte and blueberry colada matcha. Both were delicious, the perfect sweetness level, and fun. I'm weird and don't like eggs in my breakfast burritos which they accommodated with absolutely no issue. The California Burrito and the Spanish Burrito were hot, flavorful, and filling. Also came with sides of salad, sour cream, and fruit. The staff was extremely friendly and helped us decide what to order and checked in on us frequently as we were eating to make sure we were taken care of. The food also came quickly. Plenty of seating inside, I didn't see tables outside but there's ledges to sit on. Also there's a bathroom for customers. Would highly recommend you try this spot!! So delicious and wish I was closer to the more things.

I was in the area and decided to follow fellow Yelpers lead and check out village cafe. I had…read morevisited a few years back when it was under different ownership so was excited to give it a visit. I ordered the blueberry colada matcha since it's nothing like I've had before and I gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised. Oh literally said, "oh wow!" Wasn't expecting the blueberry and coconut flavors to be so present and fresh tasting. It was a bit on the sweeter end but very good nonetheless. I also ordered a danish and that sadly wasn't the greatest. It was a little too cold and hard. Service was friendly. The only issue with the shop is that in the short amount of time I was in and out ordering my drink, I left smelling like restaurant. You know that food/grease smell that sticks to your clothes? Yup, that one! I even stepped outside to wait for my drink and was still a victim. So bummed about that so hoping they can figure out better circulation for all customers, especially those like me who weren't even in there long. I will be back again in the future. Looking forward to giving their other drinks and food options a shot.

Careless employee! Last night 3/7 at 730pm I drove from Oxnard to Camarillo cause our coffee bean…read moreon Rose showed no whip cream on the app, with nothing to do on a Sat night, we drove to this location. my wife ordered them on app, I walked in and had never been to this location, there are 3 entrances by the way, so I was already a bit confused. I walked in and walked over to the far right where the barista was making coffee. There were 2 families in the building, I stood and waited patiently, drink after drink I saw everyone receive their drink. My order was to be ready at 732pm, it was now 739pm. All good no rush, nothing to do, I then noticed everyone had their drink and the barista, slender guy with no personality w/a beanie, deleted the last order from the screen and begin to clean his space. This is when I approached him and asked if he could check on my order, I wanted to be sure I wasn't at the wrong location, he asked for name on order so I gave it to him and told him it was an app order. He said app orders are on the other side (big long counter and I don't recall a sign that says orders or app orders or anything) so I felt dumb, naturally (I was not upset at all) so we walk over and I see my drinks and I said "oh sorry, my first time here, thank you" still feeling stupid. This is where he could've helped me not feel dumb and it all would've been fine and 100% on me, maybe even shared a laugh over my stupidity, BUT To my surprise he just walked away, he didn't even acknowledge my comment, nothing not a word, so I said "thanks" loudly since he was already 10-15 feet away and this time I was sure to be clear that I did not mean it. As I walked out feeling dumb, the other guy running the register cool dude with long hair and beard, asks the barista "do you not ask them?" He saw the opportunity! And that's my whole point!! Careless because he saw me standing there, I'm a heavy set guy with a blue flannel, the 2 families have their drinks, he cleared out all the orders and he couldn't have the courtesy to ask "are you waiting for a drink" "do you have an order?" Anything that would indicate that he would give a rats butt about a customer who just waited patiently!! I manage retail so I understand long days and all but I can also not accept or understand how someone can just disregard a long time loyal customer of this brand, knowing there are no more drinks in queue, no one in line, nothing and just leave me standing there. I will NEVER return here, a waste of a drive, I will continue going to Gabriel in Oxnard. Jesus fyi señor, this fella working on 3/7 at 732pm, slender build with a beanie, expressionless, emotionless and clueless to body language and verbal basic customer communication with lacking enthusiasm is not the face of the brand I know you strive to create and he does not meet, the standards I know you set. He makes good drinks I'll give him that but wow!

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.
