The surface was amazing and everything was tended to and there was very little waiting from order to serving. The Food: Unfortunately, the biscuits and gravy was an amazing portion however, the biscuit was very dry and bland. The gravy was heavy on the flower and had a weird bouillon aftertaste with no sausage in it whatsoever. So that really kills the enthusiasm. The corned beef and Hash came out of a can so it was bland, but the hashbrowns were fried upon request and came out really well. For some reason, paying 4 dollars for a cup of coffee or $3.50 for a glass of iced tea just was not tempting.

If you've ever dreamed of wandering into a Parisian patisserie, this charming little gem is about…read moreas close as it gets without a passport. The space itself is chic and impossibly cute, a mini cafe that feels like a hidden boutique find, quaint in all the right ways. The croissants are the genuine article: buttery, flaky layers with that perfect golden exterior that only comes from someone who truly knows what they're doing. Every pastry here is crafted with care and it shows in every bite. And the mocha coffee? That alone is worth the trip. Rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced, it pairs beautifully with anything in the pastry case. The staff are warm and genuinely welcoming, making the whole experience feel personal rather than transactional. One thing to keep in mind: this is not a drive-through. It's a small owner-operated cafe where everything is made with intention. Come with time to spare, settle in, and let the experience unfold. Good things take time, and here that philosophy is baked right into everything they do. Yes, prices lean a bit higher than your average coffee shop, but this is quality you can taste. You're paying for authentic French technique that honors the tradition. La Princière is a Thousand Oaks treasure worth every unhurried minute.

This is a great place for everything. Here I had the (freshly made) in-house corned beef, poached eggs, potato coins, and cinnamon roll. I put the corned beef on the coin and egg on top. Made it even better, next time I will ask for a side of Hollandaise sauce to top it off with. And they are fast with getting out orders. The cinnamon roll made it home with me as my eyes and stomach didn't talk to each other. Give them a shot its worth it at all of the locations. Thanks for all the great food you put out!!!!

Honey and Herb was a pure social media-targeted venture and looks like they did a good job because…read morethe night before my marathon, I happened to see an ad on social media for their vegan chicken and waffles. I then decided that this would be my post-race meal. Fast forward to the next day, sore legs and all, I still wanted this as my post-race meal, so I placed a to-go order knowing that this would be the best option for me to get food right away. When I got to the Thousand Oaks area, I wish I had more time to have my meal properly, sitting down at the restaurant, but I took my order back to my car and chowed down quickly so I would have enough time to get to the airport. My vegan chicken and waffles were essentially a Belgian waffle topped with fried oyster mushrooms, accompanied with syrup and a side of mixed fruit. I couldn't stomach the fruit, but I the oyster mushrooms posing as chicken were delicious!! Especially with syrup on top. The waffle could have been thicker and crisper, as the one I was trying was soft in texture like a thawed out frozen waffle. Next time I am in Cali, I would love to stop by and have a sit down meal properly inside the restaurant. It was such a gorgeous day for brunch and while I couldn't take in the full experience, I am glad I enjoyed a delicious meal.

For instance, if you order the eggs Benedict, they come on waffles instead of English muffins; if you get a hamburger, waffles replace the hamburger buns. Our table ordered a coffee ($4.50), a strawberry lemonade ($7.00), a mimosa ($14.00), Benny Caught a Little Sam ($21.50), the Gravy Train ($24.00), and waffle bites ($13.00). With tax, the total came to $84.00 before gratuity. Benny Caught a Little Sam is a twist on "eggs royale". (Eggs royale is a variation of eggs benedict where the Canadian bacon is swapped for salmon.) In this version, brioche waffles are topped with a poached egg, smoked salmon, fresh tomato slices, spiced onions, and hollandaise sauce, then finished with a sprinkle of fresh chives. The Gravy Train is this restaurant's take on chicken and waffles: a Belgian waffle is topped with fried chicken breasts, smothered in gravy. The plate comes with side options, and I chose potatoes and fruit. Waffle bites are six mini waffles, similar in size to silver dollar pancakes, served with Nutella, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries. I didn't choose this restaurant, and I'm not a fan of "breakfast foods." That said, I found the restaurant's interpretations interesting and the presentation on the plate appealing. And I was able to find something on the menu that I felt tasted good.

A lot of people around were working, catching up with friends, going on first dates, it was a fun place to get energy and people watch. But the drinks and food are miss or barely hit.

I got a large Kauai smoothie and it isn't bad, coconut water, pineapple, strawberry, and banana in a large (24oz) and it tastes like crunchy coconut water. But for $13 I feel like it could've been a lot better. A friend got the morning blend smoothie bowl ($16.50) and an iced London Fog (6) but also didn't like any of it in the end. Describing the London fog as the worst one in her entire life, and only ate the bananas on top of the smoothie bowl. I think personally it's on me that I didn't get one of their signatures, I am a BIG fan of almost every raspberry white mocha I had, but didn't end up getting them, will go next time! The pastries in the window looked so delicious too, but an almost $30 cafe visit is not in my budget as much as I hope it was. I love that they're so accommodating for different restrictions and life goals though, I have multiple friends who don't take seed oils, different milks, vegans, or gluten free and they have an option for literally everyone.

This place also feels homey. If you take a moment to look around, you'll notice the personal touches such as the artwork, photos, and thoughtful details that tell a story of their family. Okay Now to get to the good stuff the drinks and bites are stellar, here's what I got: I finally found a seriously addicting chai here in the 805. I'm very picky about chai, so when Robin insisted "you're trying this" so I listened and I'm so glad I did haha. Freshly brewed, no artificial flavors, perfectly spiced. I think I would dub this one of the BEST chai's I've ever had. 10/10. Their classic breakfast bites hit the spot too. I had a breakfast sandwich with crispy bacon and a fresh egg. Simple but good. I'd get this again but also would be open to trying some of their other bites. 8/10. The handmade bakery section here was unreal. The apple pastry I ordered was pure nostalgia and absolutely delicious. I can't wait to come back and try more of their daily baked goods. The selection was huge and lots of different options to try. I think their passionfruit pastry will be calling my name next time. Lastly I leave you with a Fun fact: if you're a football fan or into chess, this is your cafe. Chess tables are available for playing at and it's the perfect morning spot to catch matches over coffee and pastries.

The cafe itself is charming, with warm dark wood, cozy seating, and a fireplace that adds to the ambiance. Indoor temperature was a bit cool during our visit, but still a pleasant environment, and there is outdoor seating as well. The staff was friendly and service was quick. One small note: it would help if the staff had a better grasp of the menu and felt more confident describing it. The food speaks for itself and is worth highlighting. Parking was close and easy, and I especially enjoyed the light jazz playing in the background, including standards sung beautifully by Ella Fitzgerald. P.S. I always forget to snap photos. The sandwich was Insta-worthy.
