Here's a Yelp review you can use:…read more If you're looking for authentic Korean shaved ice, this place is a must-visit! The bingsu was absolutely delicious--light, fluffy, and full of fresh, flavorful toppings. It tasted incredibly authentic, and the portion was huge--definitely enough to share, though you may not want to because it's that good! We also tried a couple of their boba drinks, and they were just as impressive. The tea was flavorful, the sweetness was well balanced, and the boba had the perfect chewy texture. Between the generous portions, delicious desserts, and refreshing drinks, this place exceeded our expectations. We'll definitely be coming back whenever we're craving Korean shaved ice and boba!

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 ambiance was nice too - it seems like a cozy enough place for people to hang out and I even saw someone working on their laptop for awhile.

Pretty much every time which is what pushed me to actually write a review. The food/coffee is way overpriced for what you get as well.

BUT, upon checking the online ordering on their website, it is so much more clear that that was an optional add-on. Kind of felt like they were just upcharging me to upcharge idk... Ambiance was good. Quiet, clean and the plants all around are a great touch. Don't get me wrong, the coffee and food are great, especially the speciality drink.

I suppose I got what I needed out of it, but it just felt odd. I can imagine the set up there makes sense when the are busy, but when it's not it's just eerie.

I decided on a fried ube snack and a milk tea with boba. My milk tea had a good amount of sweetness and quenched my craving for a little sweet, caffeinated beverage. The fried ube snack had only a hint of ube flavor and was freshly made to order. Everything here is priced point well, in comparison to other boba shops. Such a cute, kinda cozy local cafe shop with board games for customers and indoor seating. This cafe also sells crafts from local artists as well. Sorry I didn't take a pic of all the various items on sale here -but it's worth you coming out to check it all out. Located in a strip mall, tons of free parking. Note: air conditioning must of been broken the day I visited, as they had fans on -but it was still a bit warm inside.

I went inside and I am a coffee and chocolate lover so I was in awe when I came inside. And of course I had to get my chocolate treat since I didn't have any at home. The shop has this warm, cozy vibe to it. There's seating outside but also all the way in the back. There's an expresso bar in the back and a cute vintage looking set up where you can sit down and enjoy your coffee and treat. I got some chocolate barks (dark chocolate almond bark, milk chocolate almond bark, sugar free milk chocolate almond bark) and the sugar free peanut butter cup and the dark chocolate tiramisu truffle which the girl said is their most popular item. I also got the chocolate chip cookie and omg! Really enjoyed it! It wasn't hard or too soft. It was crispy enough and if you do like it on the softer side, just a little bit in the microwave and it'll come out just right. It tasted like it just came out from the oven. I didn't get coffee because it was too late in the day but I happen to be around the next day and stopped by to get a latte! Although they dont have their flavored lattes on the menu they do have different ones you just gotta ask. I got the iced hazelnut latte which was so good, not a lot of ice, and only $4.50 for a 16oz! I'm excited to know where it is and can't wait to come back! There's a lot of parking since it's in the big shopping center right next to Sprouts.

It was clean and there was one girl working who was finishing up the persons order. She let us know it would be a few minutes and she would help us out. She was quick to finish up and was very nice taking our order. We went with a black milk tea with boba, a butterfly lemonade with passion fruit jelly poppers and a Thai tea boba. I had mixed reviews and it's funny because I thought my milk black tea boba wasn't sweet enough, the butterfly lemonade for my youngest was too sweet and my oldest Thai tea with boba wasn't perfect. That's normally how we like our drinks too but I thought mine could have used a little more sweetness. It's a good boba place but it isn't the best I've had. It's a solid option though and if you live in the area you should definitely give it a try. I don't know of any other options around, so if I come back to simi and am looking for some boba, this would be the spot for me. OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

Since I work long hours during the week and usually am not up for jumping right up on the weekends, that is cool with me! DH will go over and pick out fresh pastries for us for breakfast/brunch. He'll usually select one savory item and one sweet treat. Often, their Japanese-style egg salad tucked inside a pastry is so perfect for me. The actual dough is like a marriage between a bagel and a croissant. It's lighter than a bagel, but it's flavorful and tender like a croissant, but not flaky. The egg salad filling is just right for my tastebuds, and it provides protein in a fancy, delicious fashion. Today there was a hint of savory garlic on the pastry, and that added a nice flavor accent. Today's sweet pastry was an open-faced tart filled with a smooth, light chocolate base, topped with creamy custard, and then sliced pears on top. Mmm. I like the choice of pears offering a hint of the autumn season ahead. The last time we had out of town guests staying with us, we took my them to Le Herisson one morning. They fell in love with the food and the sweet, simple ambiance. The next morning, my sister-in-law got up early and went back over, bringing back a box of pastries for everyone to share. That definitely tells the story of how much everyone enjoyed the food offerings. It's a special treat to have a quality bakery like this in Simi. We prefer it to another well-regarded bakery on the west end of town, which is a different style and more expensive.
