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.

It's conveniently close to my office, making it an easy stop. The pastries are fresh, flavorful, and pair perfectly with the coffee. Speaking of the coffee, you can genuinely taste the quality in every cup. It's smooth, rich, and clearly made with care not your average grab and go coffee. Friendly service, great atmosphere, and consistently good drinks and pastries make this an easy choice whenever I need a morning pick me up. If you're in the Moorpark area, it's definitely worth stopping by.

You can buy a whole loaf of sourdough bread, an entire bunch of bananas, a jar of peanut butter and a container of honey for $13. Mindblown places like this rob their customers.

What a lovely couple!! Would definitely go back for their happy faces!…read more Tried CJs for the first time tonight and 2 of 3 of us were pleased!! Kid's face down in the Honey BBQ flatbread pizza. First, the smell of this on the drive home made my mouth water. Then I set it before her and opened the box and almost cried. Beautiful! Tasted amazing! Would absolutely order again! Spouse is making me very jealous with the tongue action licking up his egg and avocado sandwich. I don't know about black olives in egg salad, but I will say that this egg salad has the perfect balance of mayo and mustard. He is in heaven. "Phenomenal," he said and could only eat half of this huge sandwich. Impressive!! So I am the off one out. Usually when I go to a new place, I get something commonly loved so I can hold it up to the bar. This time I went rogue. The Mango Habanero Turkey panini called out to me. But sadly I didn't appreciate the flavor combo with the gooey nacho cheese sauce and a very minimal few pieces of turkey. Where my spouse's sandwich was several fingers high, mine was muy flaco. And the worst part for me was that it didn't survive the short 3 mile drive home. Opening the steamy box produced soggy panini--my biggest pet peeve with carry out orders. Having said that, the lovely owner through in a complimentary cookie and a huge smile and invited me to come back soon. I'm sure we would like to go back for a nice weekend brunch with coffee and their homemade baked goods!!

So many options on the menu including plenty of sugar free flavors and they have soy milk. Love it when coffee shops still offer soy milk. That's a huge plus. They also have the flavor of amaretto which you don't really see much! I've tried it from Monin as a sample and I really enjoyed it that I want to get my own bottle so I was excited they carried it. I ended up ordering an iced soy amaretto latte with only 3 pumps. The barista was nice enough to share w me their medium uses 6 pumps so if I wanted to do half to try it out first. I would've added one more pump but decided to just add a Splenda. It was good and the medium size is more than 16 oz I believe for $7.50. Parking is no problem since it's the big plaza like I said where Target and TJ Maxx are located. What a great first impression. I'll def be coming back here!

Stopped by Carrera's Bakery while they were offering samples and ended up completely blown away…read more The triple chocolate cake was outstanding, and the FRITTELLE--a classic Italian fried dough pastry--was unlike any I've ever had. I've been to Italy multiple times and grew up around Italian baking, and this is hands down the best frittelle I've ever tasted. Light, golden, and filled with vanilla custard, then finished with a dusting of powdered sugar, it was truly unforgettable. This is a real Italian bakery, and once you step inside, the space completely opens up--high ceilings, a beautiful interior, and a hidden, speakeasy feel you'd never expect from the street. The young man with blonde hair who helped me was so kind, knowledgeable, and clearly proud of the bakery. It made the whole experience even better. The latte was perfectly done as well. Everything here feels high quality and thoughtfully made. I'll definitely be back. Thank you--support local.

There's plenty of parking especially because doesn't look like it gets crowded here. It's a pretty big restaurant that serves lunch and dinner. Lunch ends at 3pm and Dinner starts at 5pm so we actually missed lunch but the service let us know what they were still serving including the pastries, gelato and croissant sandwiches. Sandro the guy behind the counter was really nice enough to serve us a complimentary bite of their popular items because it was our first time. He gave us two fritelles and I also got a sugar free hazelnut latte and my fiance got a cannoli. They had a variety of syrups for lattes. My latte tasted just right because I didn't want anything sweet. The fritelle was good but had too much crème filling for me. If you liked really filled donuts then you'd like these. I thought personally it was too rich. The cannoli was a small size but a nice sweet treat. It was a nice experience with great service. We look forward to coming back.

Makenna Coffee is seriously such a hidden gem!…read more I first discovered this place completely by accident a while back when one of my girlfriends and I were on our way to go camping. We were craving coffee, searched for the closest coffee shop, and happened to stumble across Makenna Coffee. I remember absolutely falling in love with their coffee and thinking, "I cannot wait until we come back this way so I can get this again!" Unfortunately, I never ended up making it back... until today! We happened to be in the area for an appointment at the Jeep dealership, and when I realized Makenna Coffee was nearby, there was NO WAY I was leaving without stopping. This was only my second time here, and somehow it was just as good as I remembered. Taylor helped me and she was such a sweetheart! I couldn't remember what I had ordered the first time, so she helped me pick out two different drinks to try -- the Sandy Blonde and the Maui Latte. I ordered them half sweet, and they were still a little sweeter than I normally prefer, but honestly, they were amazing nonetheless. I'm usually a black coffee/Americano kind of girl, but every once in a while I get a serious sweet tooth and want something fun and indulgent -- and Makenna Coffee is PERFECT for that. Their coffee is so good, and there's just something about this little spot that I've loved ever since I accidentally discovered it. I only wish I lived closer because I would definitely be here way more often. If you're ever in this area, do yourself a favor and stop at Makenna Coffee. It's one of those little gems you're so happy you found.

The scones he had last time were not available so they rotate flavors. That's awesome. I ordered a blackberry peach scone and he ordered the Irish cheddar scone. I LOVED my scone. It was so moist. The cinnamon topping is the chef's kiss. It reminded me of the days when my mom made pie crust and with the leftover crust I would sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top and bake them. The top of the scone tasted just like that to me. Mmm mmm. The coffee was well made. Just a little hotter would have been better, for me. The building is small and there is nowhere to sit inside, but outside, there are plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your scone and coffee. I will be back tomorrow as we head out back home. I can't wait to see what scones there are to choose from. When we got here the news was doing a story on them! That was pretty cool.
