The store is beautifully decorated inside and is a hot spot for people to sit and relax while sipping coffee and/or having a treat. We have been patrons for years, and whenever we have a celebration, this is always one of the places we consider. The pastries and cakes are absolutely delicious, artistically presented, and surprisingly light and refreshing. Our favorite is their wild berry yogurt cake, but we have also tried some of their other cakes, including the tiramisu, and have enjoyed them all. The staff is always welcoming and helpful. I recently picked up a birthday cake and had the birthday message written on a chocolate sheet. The whole process took only a few minutes, which was especially convenient. Their cakes come in small, medium, and large sizes. The larger sizes can sell out, so if you need a medium or large cake, it's probably best to order ahead. I recommend this place to all who enjoy a heart healthy treat!

Drove all the way from Burbank just to check out Carrara's Pastry Shop in Agoura Hills--and wow,…read morethey absolutely did not disappoint. It's a small, charming café with a cozy atmosphere, featuring old-school car collectibles displayed on a shelf that add a unique touch. They also offer outdoor seating where you can enjoy your desserts surrounded by lush greenery, natural foliage, and a peaceful little waterfall pond. The service was great as well, they were friendly and welcoming and answered all my questions. suggested I definitely I ended up picking up a chocolate and hazelnut cake with an incredibly soft, spongy interior that was perfectly balanced and rich without being overwhelming. I also grabbed a single serving of the blueberry cheesecake, which was light, airy, and still decadently satisfying--definitely worth every spoonful. The rum babas were a standout: bite-sized, soaked in Jamaican rum, filled with Chantilly cream, and topped with a raspberry. So flavorful and unique--each bite was indulgent without being too heavy. And then there was the Velina cake... oh my goodness. A beautiful sponge layered with chocolate mousse and hazelnut mousse, all covered in a glossy dark chocolate glaze. It was so rich and decadent that I had to slow myself down just to fully enjoy every bite. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully made, and worth the drive. I'd absolutely come back again.

What a great accidental find!…read more We've been coming to this plaza for Italian food for a while, and I had noticed this place across the way several times but never had the chance to try it. This time, I was on my way to charge my car and remembered there was a gelato place nearby, so I finally decided to stop in. I'm really glad I did. It was a warm afternoon and very quiet inside. There was just a mom and her child enjoying gelato and playing games together, which added to the comfortable, homey feeling of the place. It didn't have that big-chain or franchise feel at all. In the back, I could see people preparing things, and the whole place felt like there was some real care and craftsmanship behind what they were serving. The person helping me was wonderful and patiently let me sample four or five different flavors before I finally narrowed it down. Honestly, everything I tried was good. I ended up choosing the dark chocolate and the coffee-flavored gelato with espresso chips. The dark chocolate was easily one of the best chocolate gelatos I've ever had--rich, creamy, deeply chocolatey, and you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. The coffee flavor was just as good. It wasn't overly sweet, which was perfect for me, and the espresso chips added a nice little extra punch of coffee flavor and texture. Paired with the dark chocolate, the two flavors complemented each other perfectly. What stood out most was the quality. The gelato was incredibly creamy, the flavors were balanced, and nothing tasted overly sweet or artificial. You can tell they're using very good ingredients. Sometimes the best places are the ones you discover almost by accident. This was definitely one of those experiences. A warm afternoon, great gelato, friendly service, and a comfortable little place that made me want to stay awhile. I can't wait to come back and bring my wife and family next time. This one's a keeper!

Tifa Chocolate & Gelato has become one of our favorite spots in Agoura Hills. More often than not,…read moreyou'll find us here after a concert at the Canyon or after a nice dinner somewhere in the shopping center. It's the perfect place to wind down and end the night on a sweet note. The gelato is always delicious, but let's talk about those chocolate chip cookies. They are my weakness! Every time I come in, I tell myself I'm just getting gelato, and somehow those cookies end up calling my name. No self-control whatsoever. What I really love about this place is the atmosphere. It's a great spot to hang out, enjoy a treat, and spend some time with friends. They even have games you can play while you're there, which makes it feel more like a fun gathering place than just a dessert shop.The employees are always super cool, friendly, and welcoming. Great desserts, great people, and a relaxing place to spend an evening. No wonder we keep coming back. Five stars!

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.

It's too bad that this review is only listed under bakeries because there's so much more here. The bakery items are wonderful. My personal favorites are the little individual tiramisu and their chocolate covered coconut balls, which I've never seen any place else. They're huge! All the routine pastries are available and freshly made, as well as as a couple Persian delicacies. Try the cream puffs! But what I also love about this place is their breakfasts. Some of the local breakfast places get too crowded with long rating lines but here you can be seated in a covered shaded area outside or Next door at the restaurant that they're attached to. Some of my favorites are their omelettes and scrambles, and although I can probably make those myself at home, they somehow make them taste better than any place else. I particularly like the vegetable omelette. Of course they have a tasty avocado toast that seems to be a local favorite. The eggs Benedict are perfectly prepared and the.Challah French toast is definitely worth breaking a diet over and what is an excellent breakfast without a great cup of coffee? You can get that here including American coffee, cappuccino, espresso, and even Turkish coffee. I love this place! And if you miss breakfast/brunch time, Maral Cuisine is great for their shish kebabs, salads, and traditional Persian cuisine.

This is most definitely our new cake shop!! I actually found Sweet Arleen's on the Too-Good-To-Go…read moreapp, got an assortment of (huge!) cupcakes and asked about their gluten free cakes. Wow was I impressed! The regular cupcakes are delicious; the frosting is impeccable; not overly sweet, delicious and light. The gluten-free?!? Honestly, that was my favorite! The gluten-free one that we tried was the cookies and cream. The four pack was vanilla, birthday cake, coconut, and lemon. The gluten-free thing is new to us, as my kid was recently diagnosed celiac. One of the first things that my kiddo was worried about with celiac disease was not being able to have birthday cake. We are 1000% getting all birthday cakes here. (sorry about the lack of photos, we couldn't stop eating them)

Had them for the first time on my birthday, though definitely on the pricy side…read more But they're so beautiful! Accidentally held one cupcake sideways just as I opened the door home, so the frosting got smushed but obviously didn't affect the flavor. I think this review will be heavily biased by user error thus the 5 stars though my feelings are more on 3 stars. Since we were all busy, we'd have to eat them around 10+ hours after buying and to make sure nobody accidentally ate them before my birthday; we stored them in the fridge instead of room temp which clearly did something to the frosting and cakes. Family's average favorites in order are red velvet, the confetti, cookies and cream, smores, and strawberry. The red velvet is pretty good, it's pretty rich and moist compared to the other cupcakes and the cream cheese frosting is so nice. S'mores has a strong dark cocoa flavor but also was dense and a little dry. Strawberry and confetti had nice fluffy frosting but due to the fridge mistake, it was kinda like eating chilled whipped butter. I strangely really enjoyed that. Confetti also felt and tasted like corn bread; I wasn't there to choose or see the flavors, but it was a fascinating surprise when I kept chewing and felt grit between my teeth. I didn't expect the birthday cupcake to taste like a southern take on fairy bread? But it isn't bad! Overall, I feel like they're a nice place for a little treat--the red velvet is definitely their signature for a reason. But for ~$7-10 a cupcake the flavors we chose seem to lack a reason to come back :( Unless you have dietary restrictions! I didn't try them but they have keto, vegan, and gluten free options; I know how hard it is to find a bakery that honors all 3. I also got my cupcake in one of those adorable birthday boxes (bearer of the unfortunate frosting carnage so no photo) but the butterfly is so cute! They're definitely worth a visit once, the bread puddings looked fun too, but unfortunately it seems the cupcakes are just not my cup of tea.

He was charged $6.95 for a fruit bowl plus and her $3.95 because the fruit bowl was all strawberries. This was in addition to his French toast breakfast. Our final bill for two was close to $70 and we had no beverages other than water. Way too pricey for this weak breakfast experience.

I have been wanting to try this place for weeks after looking at their menu and the pictures online…read moreand I was definitely not disappointed. I drove up from West LA specifically for it. It's basically an upscale bakery with bakery items, sandwiches, and real unique drinks. Inside is actually pretty large, you can have your items there or you can take them to go. It's also in a small shopping center so there is plenty of free parking right in front. Our attendant was very polite and everything that we ordered was ready pretty fast. For this visit, I tried one of their Cinnamon Rolls and thought it was fantastic. I would definitely recommend warming it up. We also ordered a Strawberry Cruffin and that too was fantastic. For the drinks, I decided to go do two of their cereal lattes. I tried the Honeycomb and also the Lucky Charms. Both were tremendous, but between the two I especially liked the Lucky Charms. I would definitely recommend this place and will stop by again next time I'm in the area.

I took it all to go and I orderd a mango passionfruit refresher to drink on the way. I ate a few bites of the almond fruit croissant and it was delicious. At home i warmed it up and it was very yummy warm and soft on the inside and flaky crunchy on the outside. The mango passionfruit drink can have your choice of base and I chose plain water. The drink is sweet but not too sweet and I love the chunks of fruit Definitely a cool place to stop by when you're in the area!

The eclair had a lot of custard filling. The chocolate cake pop was very rich and moist. This bakery makes delicious items! It is on the more expensive side so be prepared to spend a little extra money. The items I bought were $8 each and the cake pop was $5. I would come back to try other items!
