A mocha and the bee sting
Aubrey H.

We came during opening weekend and the line was out the door. Once inside the ambiance had a "cool" coffee bar aesthetic. It was small with not a lot of room to sit. We order some conchas, a mocha, and the bee sting. The conchas were good, although not what you would expect a typical concha to taste like. It had more of a Hawaiian bread flavor & texture. My husband said the mocha had a nice flavor to it and wasn't bad. The bee sting actually lives up to its name. It gave my tongue a nice buzz after every sip and had a burnt honey taste to it. Overall, don't go during opening weekend and if you're looking for a nice intimate coffee place to chat, Sombra is it

I saw the long line down the building and had heard of this place opening while having good reviews. I'm always up for trying a new cafe and waited in a ridiculously long line. The place had mini conchas (pan dulce) made with a sweet roll, a different taste than what I'm used to but still good. We tried a couple drinks, going with my go-to hot mocha, while also getting an iced "Bee Sting." One sip of the mocha and I knew they knew what they were doing. However, one sip of the Bee Sting, a latte with burnt honey vanilla syrup left me quickly reaching for my mocha to mask the flavor. The ambiance was dark, loud, almost club like. It had a very modern feel to it which I know many like but it's not something I look for in a cafe. Guess I'm old because I like a quieter atmosphere. Despite not liking the ambiance much, or the bee sting, I did like their mocha and conchas so they still get 4 stars. That's this critic's review.

The ambiance, service and the Ruby Hour Matcha were a hit! There was a long line when I walked in and I thought about leaving and trying another day when I had more time but I am glad I decided to stay because the efficient baristas got through the line and had me with a 10/10 drink in my hand within 10minutes! I will be going back to try other signature drinks they offer.

Bee Sting
Mic F.

We were excited for their soft opening! They seemed to do a wonderful job at handling their immense turnout. The line moved fairly well for it being their first time open. We were in line 45 minutes and the line when we got there was around the corner from the shop already. We didn't snag any pictures of the inside... it looks just as cozy and elegant as their IG previews. The drinks were SO good. Same great taste as we remembered before they shut down for a bit to build up their new spot. The Bee Sting was smooth with the perfect touch of sweetness. Looking forward to going again to try their newer drinks and utilize their cozy spot for work days.

Amazing coffee spot. Very cozy vibes as soon as you step inside. Their menu line up is stacked with unique flavors both for coffee and matcha, there is something for everyone. Service was great, the staff is very friendly and inviting. Was very busy but there is still a nice space to study/work.

Limelight Matcha and Maple Avenue

I work down the street from Sombra, and I am so happy to have a new coffee shop to visit on my breaks. The shop is styled after a speakeasy or a cigar lounge, which makes it cozy. It's very popular, so the line is almost always out the door, but don't let that stop you. The staff are welcoming and friendly. When the doors are closed, the window tinting helps keep the space cooler. The menu has a variety of coffeehouse classics, but I have yet to try them because I've been busy trying the signature lattes and matcha lattes. The thing that makes Sombra worthy of becoming a regular coffee spot over everything else is their unique flavors that come from their house-made syrups. I have never had a pear-flavored coffee, but Maple Avenue's pear foam with maple and sea salt syrup are a really nice combination. One drink I tried that surprised me was the Ruby Hour guava matcha latte. I don't always enjoy coffee shop matcha, but Ruby Hour was very well balanced. The sweetness of the guava worked with the matcha without being too cloying or grassy. Overall, I have enjoyed everything I have ordered, and every experience I have had thus far has been good. If you are a fan of crafted beverages, Sombra is definitely worth a try.

maple latte and their seasonal halloweentown

Social setting for people to hang out. Quite loud inside from the crowd/being chatting. Drinks were amazing! As was the staff, very friendly. Line moved along quickly and drinks came out sooner than expected.

Palm reader matcha and cafe de olla
Ian S.

New coffee launch alert. First time here and absolutely love my experience. Not big fan over matcha drink but oh my god! Their matcha is absolutely good. Cafe de olla it was absolutely amazing just need little more sweet but other than that grate experience. I can't wait for them to keep growing

Gus C.

The coffee was absolutely perfect. Expect to come back soon for the matcha. The service was perfect, hope they give us some merch in the near future.

I visited on opening day and it was worth the wait. It's very dark and cozy inside - aligned with the "Sombra" part of their name, which is shady in Spanish. The bee sting latte is my fave and has a great honey taste! My mom loved her cafe de olla (which is under a different name in their menu) and my sister loved her chocolate orange one (also under another name - I think chocwork orange?) I also for kicks ordered their specialty cold brew that was very refreshing! Don't sleep on their conchas either - the perfect complement to their coffee offering and literally the softest I've ever had. Highly recommend paying this spot a visit. We need more cool places like this in Camarillo!

Even though there was a long line it moved very quick! The flavorr was soo good! Just the right amount of flavor and coffee mix! Not like some places that just taste like flavors and milk mixed ! Super cute on the inside small chill vibes for a perfect coffee break ! I will be coming back ! So far one of my favorite coffee shops in Camarillo!

Iced sol and spice and a hot vanilla latte

Good coffee, yummy pastries, quick service, and friendly staff! I've stopped by twice now and had a consistent experience both times. Happy that I have a yummy local coffee spot now. Not a ton of seating inside but they have bar seating and some tables. I enjoy their Sol and spice latte and their strawberry scone and cheddar and chive biscuit were delicious! My husband also liked his latte.

I had a real good experience here a few weeks ago. I was out on a long run/walk in the morning and…read morerealized my water bottle had slipped out somewhere. I didn't have my phone or wallet with me, but went into Tree Lounge and asked the young barista if he wouldn't mind giving me a water cup. He was such a friendly guy, helping me like I was a paying customer. He didn't have to be as accommodating! I went back after my run to thank him, and get a cup of coffee. I'll definitely keep coming in when I get to Camarillo, as I often do. I'll also check out the gallery and performances!

Order went through no problem. Trouble started this morning when my wife received a message from the driver that Tree Lounge doesn't have the order (first screenshot). My wife looks and sees she received a cancellation text for the order 1 minute after the driver's message (second screenshot). From the outside this looks like the driver walked in, asked for the order, they said they didn't have it and then cancelled it. So, my wife called Tree Lounge to see what is going on and was told that they cancelled the order because they were "in the middle of their rush". It's easy to see how poorly this situation was handled in general, but also clear no one checked online orders to prep the work for the morning. This order shouldn't be a surprise and the choice to just blind cancel it instead of making it because of what equates to "we're busy" is pretty bad. Takes a lot for me to leave a review. If you don't want to process online order during your rush then set those hours up in door dash. If you screwed up and just didn't check your online orders in the morning, then just make the drink as the next up order. I'm happy to discuss the situation - Tree Lounge, feel free to reach out to me.

Despite being a little late to the game…read more... I say, it is truly never too late to appreciate the cool things of the past. Well recently, the past caught up to me and now the past is my present and undoubtedly, my unforeseen future. Hear. Me. Out. Cause now it's about time I officially "Go on the Record" about this and just come out and say it. I LOVE me some Records You know... Vinyl Records!! Yes, from my first time hearing a vinyl spin on my turn table at home.... I. Was. Hooked. Hearing the sound of a tangible vinyl, spinning at the perfect speed, coming through the speakers of my record player was something that no perfectly remastered, digital version playing on my Alexa device at home could possibly ever replicate. And if you used to play vinyls or are just getting into them now... You know exactly what I am talking about. And just like I got addicted to vinyl, my wife jumped on the same bandwagon with me and we were both obsessed with our new found past time. So of course, when record store day dropped on April 18th, 2026; you know we had to check out American Pie Records to see their selection of special edition vinyl ands Record Day Deals. Side note: My wife was specifically looking for the Special Edition Taylor Swift, Elizabeth Taylor vinyl which we had seen the American Pie Record Store had some available.... And they did! Unfortunately, we were also on the hunt for a special edition Sleep Token Vinyl, but sadly they were all gone. Besides being a record shop to browse the latest and greatest as well as pre-used vinyls... It's also a coffee shop. And if you come at the right date and time, it appears they even have live music performed by local artists. So to this I say.... Come on down to old town Camarillo, grab a coffee, a pastry and a chair (inside and outside tables available), then get to work and shop those vinyls, and of course.... A little taste of sweet American Pie Records!!!

And just like that today was spot on and my review didn't do this place justice. The mocha was…read moretasty, perfect balance of chocolate and espresso. The pecan cinnamon muffin was warmed, soft and fresh tasting. My kid loved his cinnamon roll which was reasonably priced at $5.

They have some of the best hot chocolate I've ever had. The gelato is fantastic as well, especially the Mint Chip and Espresso flavors. Beyond the treats, it's also a great place to find unique gifts and enjoy a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. I love that they offer board games, making it a fun spot to sit, unwind, and spend time with friends or family. The owners are warm and welcoming, and every visit has been a great experience. We're always happy to come back!

I got 7 or so chocolates on a craving and I'm honestly shocked by how disappointing, flavorless and…read moredare I say...dry and waxy the chocolates tasted. I especially hated the blueberry that tasted pure artificial. Then the atrocity that was the coffee chocolate- I took a bite... no flavor at all of coffee, too sweet, then the bite of a dry sorta stale coffee bean. Like literally just a bean. Idk it was weird. The special was "dark floral" I thought it could be a flowery floral flavor you know? I thought that sounded cool and unique. naw...it just had flowers printed on it. Strawberry cream milk was way too sweet barely any strawberry flavor... like not one of these was good. I didn't finish the ones I tried, and I still am leaving the passion fruit I bought since I assume it will be as artificial as the blue berry. Sorry to be a hater but this ain't it.

GETTING HERE:…read more Located in DTCam. on Ventura Blvd. between Carmen and Arneill. I think street parking would be your best bet, however, you can drive up the side street near the residential areas if needed. Look for the 999 Pizza place. REVIEW: First timer to the location in Cam! To know me is to know that I am obsessed with their brown butter toffee cookies. I have been known to clear out the inventory at the Ventura (mall) location, #sorrynotsorry. They are THAT good. Trust me. So, this order was to go, but the inside seemed airy and open, loved the open vibe. There's a good amount of outside seating too, so if that's your preference, I would choose that option. (It's better than sitting outside at the Ventura Mall location, IMO). The employees were basic, that's OK. I don't expect much in 2026. No pics as the cookies were packed away in my bag asap. But, I'll be back! It was a fine-enough visit. Thanks!
