The space is warm and inviting, the vibe is modern but comfortable, and owner Gina sets the tone -- she's genuinely lovely, the kind of person who makes you feel at home the moment you walk in. Now, the croissant. Classically French, no shortcuts. The exterior shatters beautifully, the inside is pillowy and impossibly buttery, and the layers are exactly what they should be. Paired with a great coffee, it's the closest thing to a Parisian morning you'll find around here. A bistro that respects tradition without feeling stuck in it. Go for the croissant, stay for everything else. Magnifique.

Food: what a treat to have a local coffee shop that makes pastries right where you can watch. I had…read morea butter bread which is the ends of the croissants. It was so tasty and flaky. I loved it. I had Americano to go with it. They made it perfectly the way I like it. It definitely tastes like coffee and the right temperature. Staff: everyone in that was so pleasant. You're greeted right away and they're very happy to explain to you all the different pastries and their coffees. Ambiance: The decor is a nice nice European coffee shop has tile wood, along with little cafe tables and chairs. I like the location. It's right off the freeway if you're coming from somewhere else. It's not on a busy street and if you want you can take a nice urban hike a walk around the area, then give yourself a treat at Butter and Fold!

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. I haven't really tried their drinks. Had a Hot chocolate at the Camarillo location, and they even had a little latte art in the milk foam. A beautiful space to enjoy, but pricey overall. Service is usually fine, not overly friendly but that is also due to being so busy that they need to move the lines quickly and efficiently. At Camarillo, the server was much more talkative and friendly because it wasn't crowded when I went.

The food wasn't very good! I ordered the Spring Salad…read morepictured below Supposed to be...Spring greens, strawberries, blueberries, toasted pistachios with balsamic vinaigrette. Served with a warmed goat cheese crostini. No mention of melons it had a few slivers of strawberries. Overall taste not very good. Had my mom try it too she was unimpressed. She had the chicken salad. She said it was just chicken with mayo. The croissant was dry. The iced tea tasted like coffee unfortunately. The gentleman that delivered our food just plopped the plates down and walked away. No gluten free options only macaroons! First time at this location normally go to Camarillo and TO so I was expecting the same great food and service. There was a napkin on the ground directly under our table. The ledge by window was dirty! Just disappointing!

Their wedding cake tasting package yielded a fun and tasty date night and gave us confidence in our choice to rely on them. Our guests adored the lemon bars and brownies and loved the variety we had in our three tier cake: top tier was red velvet cake with vanilla cream cheese filling, middle tier was a champagne cake with strawberry buttercream filling, and our favorite, the bottom tier, was a banana cake with banana brown sugar filling. They were communicative and clear with pricing and I couldn't be happier with their timeliness and the love they put into their goods. My husband and I highly recommend Sugar Lab Bake Shop and dream of their desserts. We can't wait for our anniversary cake!

This week's box had coconut passionfruit lime, strawberry lemon meringue and banana cream. Truly cannot choose a favorite, these were three of the most beautiful, bursting with flavor slices of pie I have ever had. I don't even know if I liked pie before this order, but now it might be my favorite dessert!? These slices are high-end, decadent desserts that are well worth it. It's clear that Skylar is passionate about her pies and is so, so talented. Cannot wait to place my next order!

I had originally seen Skylar's pies on Instagram and thought they looked gorgeous. Once a friend of…read moremine told me she had tried them and said they tasted as good as they looked, I knew I had to track some down to taste for myself. She was absolutely right! Skylar posted her pies for the week on Wednesday on her Instagram account, and I was able to purchase a pie slice box (3 different slices for $35) for pick up in Ventura on Sunday. This week's pies were strawberry cream, lemon with meringue, and coconut cream. They were all beautifully decorated and baked to perfection. The coconut cream was my favorite because it had a salty crust that paired well with the sweet coconut. But honestly, they were all so delicious! I will definitely be re-ordering more of these pie slices soon. They were worth every penny.

We were excited when we walked in and saw all the options for sweet treats. We just had to try them--and we definitely did! We got four different snacks: Strawberry Cobbler Bar - This was amazing and our overall favorite. The strawberry flavor really stood out, and the crumble crust was perfect. Carrot Cake Bar - Yummy! A delicious treat with moist cake. The walnuts on top added a great touch. Chocolate Cake - Rich and tasty. The chocolate was a bit overpowering, but still a solid choice. Key Lime Cheesecake - WOW! This one was fantastic. The crust and the caramel on top made it extra special. We really enjoyed this treat.

We are so…read morelucky to have so many amazing local artisans and bakers in Ventura County and Kristina with BCB is one of the best! This pop of bakery and shop is licensed in Ventura and you can find them all over the county popping up for different events and markets. They also have staple goods throughout the county at some of your favorite shops - for example Beacon coffee carries her delicious biscuits (which I go crazy for and buy every time). You just have to keep your eyes peeled and you'll find their delicious baked goods. As I mentioned above her biscuits are my obsession but also she makes the best sweet treats. My family loves her chocolate chip cookies, simple but done well. The touch of sea salt is tasty and the perfect amount. I've devoured her Dream Bars on occasion but truly everything they make is tasty here. I'm still overdue to buy some of their breads - will add that to my list next time. But being a fan favorite of our community, their goods do sell out fast so whenever you see they are popping up somewhere get there fast! Kristina is just a gem, a lovely person and so friendly - I love following them on instagram to see what they are up to next. A local small business with supporting for sure :)

The important thing now is to visit this place as often as possible. Make up for lost time. Because there are so many things to try. Not only does this place have an impressively broad selection of baked goods. It also offers up some exquisitely beautiful produce. And then there's the cold case with the big Chicken Pot Pies and the Beef Pot Pies and probably some other kind of Pot Pies I haven't even heard of before because this place brings it! Same with sandwiches. You know how you like those sandwiches on a baguette? Well they've got them here. Quick lunch option. Over in the other cold case they've got French Butter. Probably would've been better if I didn't see that. Most of the time French Butter is like Kryptonite to me. I lose all my power over my wallet. I'm compelled to turn over all my cash for butter. But not this day. This day I was strong. I did not succumb to the buttery temptation. This visit I left with a cappuccino and a couple packages of cookies. Both excellent!
