This place was really good. Super chill and calm vibe. Everything was really clean and quiet. The shaved ice cream was very very tasty and fun to eat. I would love to go back and try all their flavors and even their coffee. And to the crazy person who left a one star review there are tons of places closed on Sunday, like Chic-fa-la and your mom. read more

Oh my goodness this place is amazing! Food is delicious, tea is amazing, and there's an abundance of food for a great price! They were also so fast at getting my order, even with a full seating area. I would honestly give it more stars if I could. 10/10 will be coming back. read more

Cafe Sapientia - Lox avocado toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oak Park, California

A friend recommended me to try this cafe. When I walked inside, I was amazed at how modern and clean it was . The interior of the cafe was very wide and open, white and very clean. The staff were kind and quick. The cafe had choices of shaved ice and many other items on the menu. I tried the latte,and I even had the choice to choose what coffee beans it was made of. Great flavor, amazing place to go. I totally and completely recommend this place and will definitely go there again. read more

I am MIND blown! A KOREAN shaved ice in this area?! Am I dreaming? This place is literally Heaven on earth! By the look of this cafes name you would've NEVER guessed they would carry sul & bean style shaved ice but nope THEY DO! Omgggg. And to top it all off... it's freaking DELICIOUS. Me and my friend came in they also had GREAT selections of coffees..& of course the great bingsoo (Korean shaved ice) and it was 10.50( or i think it is but it sounds pricey but the portions are HUGE BE AWARE)Very impressive pricing for the amount of portion you recieve. Service was definitely outstanding. I believe it's just a small family owned cafe which they care about QUALITY service! Love that. I also enjoyed the whole scenery and the aesthetics of this place was (you gotta see for your self the decor is simple yet elegant!) we had the Oreo bingsoo which was chocolate shaved ice with Oreo and little bits of Hershey's chocolate inside it wasn't CRAZY sweet which I appreciated it felt like I was eating literal snow lol! I definitely recommend this place for y'all to try and actually support this business! I truly appreciate small businesses that actually care about their business and they have good sweets and coffee (which I haven't had yet seemed fabulous as well!) I can't wait to try the strawberry one next :') til then this place is definitely deserves 5stars!!! read more

My coworkers & ordered different flavored shaved ice & loved ALL of them. Mango was so refreshing & the Oreo hit the chocolate lovers spot. Staff was very friendly too which is always great to see read more

this place is honestly one of the best cafes i've been to. the walls are nice and white, and there are green plants and cute decorations to match the aesthetic. there are a wide range of coffees and teas, but the best thing of all is the SNOW ICE. i think i've had every flavor, but my favorite is the green tea and strawberry. the taste is light and the texture is fluffy. i also had the avocado toast with micro greens and tomatoes which came with a little salad and cup of fruits, and it was so dang good. the cafe is run by such sweet people; i love interacting with them! read more

Omg!!! The coffee at this place is soooo good! I usually get the vanilla latte. The chocolate croissant is also very good but my favorite thing about this place is the Korean dessert! You have to give it a try! It's price is actually decent compared to other bingsu places I've been to & it tastes just as good as others. I seriously love this place and would recommend to everyone!!! read more

Great Coffee n u get to choose the beans from 3 choices. Great ambiance and rightly priced. Would recommend it coffee lovers

This cafe was rated highly on Yelp so a few of us ladies got together to go check it out and I was really looking forward to it after reading the reviews. Really wanted to have a great experience and rave about this place especially since I recommended it to my friends but Was immediately turned off by the service. The service left much to be desired there were two gentleman behind the counter. Neither greeted us nor did the give us Any attention as we waited by the counter for someone to address us and we stood there like seven minutes without one word like I'll be right with you or just a moment or anything and even when I said excuse me I got no response never smile never said anything friendly not personable and they weren't that busy to give them that excuse. The ladies who ordered coffee said it wasn't really anything special and not even that good. They may have been short staffed because our food took a long time to come out. On a positive note the food was delicious and presented nicely and the coffee shop is cute but nothing special. We did drive 15 minutes to get there and I don't think I will ever go back maybe if I were in the area but can't say I would recommend it especially because of the horrible experience with the service. Alao they only had one menu on the counter and we asked if we could have a menu to look at he said they didn't have any and they didn't have a QR code where you can scan it so we just took a picture of the menu and went and sat down so we didn't Get in the way of others who needed to order. I was also surprised that they did not offer any gluten-free bread with any of their food items especially nowadays when gluten free is so prominent and also no vegan option on the menu which is also very prominent nowadays. PROS good food CONS very poor service No gluten-free options no vegan options Need to pick up your own plates and items and clean up after you're done No menu posted no menus to give either makes it very inconvenient. Slow service read more

I lived in Westlake/Thousand Oaks from the time I was a toddler to high school and in that time, if I wanted a pot bing soo (red bean shave ice), we had to either make it at home or drive all the way to K-town. But imagine my delight to discover Cafe Sapienta! I had wanted to surprise my mom so I saved up dry ice from work and planned to pick up a couple desserts to take back to Camarillo (about a 20 minute drive). I ordered 2 originals and after some confusion with taking it to go (because honestly, part of the magic is the presentation and no one has probably ordered it that way), I did manage to get the cups home and not melted and surprised my mom. One serving was split into two 12 oz cups so it was actually a very generous portion and they did add the extra red beans for my mom, which I appreciated. Usually the dessert has the red beans, ice and condensed milk, but the lady seemed to be adding milk to the machine that made the ice, but I'm not altogether positive about that. It was simple, with the milk ice, red bean, mochi and soybean powder. After being mixed and slightly melted, it created this wonderful slush that was slightly sweet and they did put a lot of mochi pieces! They do have other flavors, but I'm a purist and really enjoyed their original. My visit was not without hiccups but overall the dessert was delicious and the older gentleman helping me was nice and apologetic so I appreciate the customer service and I walked away with an overall good. I will be back and this time will enjoy it on the premises. read more

Cafe Sapientia - Original flavor pot bing soo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oak Park, California

Our family love this little cafe. Service and cleanliness is excellent. We always love the bingsoo cafe in Korea town. This place is higher than average even compare to the cafe in downtown. The snow creme has great texture. Our favorite flavor is Oreo. My husband is not a fan of chocolate, but he love the Oreo snow creme. My only hope is they can extend the hours to 6pm. We have a craving for the snow creme, but I get off work at 5. read more

Amazing coffee and amazing baked good, great addition to the community! Ditch the Starbucks across the street and give this wonderful local company your business! read more

I love their coffee and their atmosphere. It's about time Oakpark,Westlake village, and Thousand Oaks have a high end specialty coffee shop. Their shaved ice and hand drip coffee is amazing. When I asked for Espresso, they asked "What kind of beans Panama, Colombia, or Ethopia?" I was like what? This is great! read more

I've been here twice for the shaved ice cream. They use real fresh cream and freeze and shred it right in front of you. The ones with fruit toppings were delicious (mango, strawberry) also the chocolate. We tried the original red bean and that was good too. My favorite was the chocolate. Nice local place and good service. Will definitely be going back. read more

Fantastic espresso/iced americano. Definitely coming back for a prosciutto avocado toast. Very friendly owners, and hope they succeed!

Ditch Starbucks and support small businesses! This cafe is an amazing gem. The coffee is always on point and the avocado toast and tuna sandwich are reasonably priced and the portions are great. The owners are always welcoming too! Would highly recommend this place. read more

Coffee tastes so good. I tried Panama coffee since owner recommended this for sweet flavor. It was so smooth and rich. I usually don't like sour or too butter coffee and this is a perfect one for me. I had it with mango bingsoo and mango and mango puree was so fresh. Definitely my favorite coffee place read more

Shaved ice, coffee and avocado toast was delicious! Staff was friendly and restaurant was clean. We'll be back! In the future I hope to see more food, particularly vegan options. :) read more

Sapientia is the best. Their avocado toast is the best I have ever had and trust me I have eaten a lot of avocado toast. They do not disappoint! Not to mention the amazing shaves. It is so fine it melts in your mouth and so good I could eat ten of them! This is one of the best cafes I have ever been to. If you like this then you should go check out Historia Bakery. They are another small business but are still amazing. They have these heavenly crepe cakes you need to try! Anyway, Cafe Sapientia deserves some sort of award! I also love the decoration inside. It is homey with a touch of modern and beauty. Everyone needs to get oever to Sapientia right now! I give Sapientia my best of luck with Covid-19. Stay safe and keep up the great work plus amazing food! read more

We are SO happy to have found this place! The staff is incredibly friendly and the shaved ice is the best I've ever had! They are generous with the portion and toppings. The ice part isn't like your typical water-snow-cone-ice... it's delicious and creamy and fantastic. The only bad thing is that my family and I crave this almost every day now. It's soooo good. Our mission is to try every single flavor, but it's hard when you want to keep getting the same one! read more

Beautifully made espresso. This guy nailed it. Try the Panama roast. I'll certainly be back. read more

My wife and I loved this place. The oreo one was amazing and it made us miss our time spent in Korea. Definitely coming back!!

Idk how this place isn't always busy. Probably the best shaved ice I've ever had. I've had my fair share of all types. I got the mocha oreo shaved ice one and it looked like a high fiber cereal but it tasted powdery smooth cheesecake like heaven. Definitely going to come back. Just wish it was in Woodland Hills or a more populated area! read more

The Oreo shaved snow was very good! Unlike any dessert I've had before. Very light and just the right amount of sweetness. It was something fun and new to try. Will be going back for more. read more

I normally never write Yelp reviews but this place is fantastic!! I ordered the Matcha and Mango Shaved Ice options and they were so fresh.

Cafe Sapientia - Strawberry Snow Creme - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oak Park, California

Wow where do I even begin! This place has such an inviting atmosphere and don't even get me started on the drinks! The sunset fizz refresher will always be my go to. I'm not one to like carbonated drinks but this one is really really good. Apart from their drinks menu they also offer Korean shaved ice in a multitude of flavors (something you'd typically have to drive all the way to LA for). This Café is really something special. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice ambiance, great coffee, and a unique spin on shaved ice!! 15/10 read more

Hidden gem in the area! Finally there is a legit shaved ice place in Conejo Valley. Growing up in SGV, I could access all the awesome and delicious asian treats. The cafe is clean, modern and good for meeting up with friends. It's not crowded/loud so it's nice if you want to have conversations. I had their tea and green tea shaved ice - yum! read more

Such a hip and elegant cafe. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly. There's an outdoor area In the front with sun umbrellas where people and their pets can enjoy the sun! Inside there are couches and tables. Very spacious and a great place to study! Got an iced latte with oat milk that was delicious. Didn't try their food but will be coming back next time to do so! read more

Loved the unique shaved ice! We had the strawberry and also the mango one. Big portion - but it goes quick. :)
