In the weekend you'll know you found the spot if you miss the sign by the line of people at the door. Don't be discouraged by the line as it moves relatively fast. The shop consist of straight forward coffee drinks and a small menu perfect for breakfast. Prices are standard coffee shop prices. I ordered a matcha and was quite pleased but it went down in so quickly. Ask for some honey with your match, as it makes all sorts of much better. As for sitting: there is a small area inside with tables. Plus tables outside with umbrellas or a rent. Nice to sit outside when it's cooler out or in the morning before the sun comes out. This place is a good alternative to chains. Support local places.

The customer service here is horrible and the food also not so great! My daughter and I came in…read morehere on Friday July 24th in the evening to grab a quick bite before heading over to watch a movie at The Alcazar Theater. We arrived 30 minutes before they closed and it looked like everyone was busy cleaning up. We headed to the back to see if we could order a smoothie since we heard so many great things about them but when we got to the counter the multiple people that were behind the counter didn't even acknowledge us for a few minutes and then I caught one of the guys that was back there looking up at us and I asked if they were still open since it says they close at 7:00. He looked confused and asked another worker "hey, are we still open?" He then told me yes and kept cleaning, I stood there for another 5 minutes or so and nobody came over to take my order or even looked up at us so we just decided to grab a wrap to go. I got a veggie wrap and my daughter got a chicken avocado one. We were both very disappointed with them. They were very bland and tasted like they had been there awhile. We did look around the store and noticed they had a good selection of health food products, supplements and drink options. So we went up to the front to pay and nobody was at the register so again we waited probably close to another 5 minutes and the girl came back in from outside to ring us up. It came up to $33.95 so I gave her $34 at first but then after she punched it in I found a dime and tried to give it to her and she looked at me confused and I said "you can just give me back a dollar" she said no that's okay and gave me the 95 cents for my change. I guess you don't have to know how to do basic math when you work the cash register. Thankfully after all of this the theatre was close by and we made it to our movie on time.

After we had just got done at the beach, we were craving a cold and refreshing treat. I looked up…read moresmoothie spots and decided to go with Pacific Health Foods. This is a health grocery store, which carries a variety of supplements, snacks, beverages and other food items. When you walk inside, it has the "healthy" smell to it, if you know what I mean. At the very back of the store is where they have a walk-up counter where drinks are made to order. The menu is displayed above and there were so many options to choose from (and ingredients were listed, so you knew what was in it). Almost everything had a little healthy twist to it, so it was like ordering a guilt-free sweet treat! When they make your drink you take your receipt up to the register to pay. And while they were making our drinks it also gave us time to browse around the store. Definitely great if you need some snacks for the road! I left with the Piña Colada smoothie and it was simple, but delicious! The perfect beverage to help me cool down. It's a great store! Highly recommend!

No parking lot is no problem, plenty of parking along the small pavement road. The only thing you got to watch for is that right before reaching into the farm destination, there is a tight bottleneck where the road gets a bit tight. But it is the only exit and entrance, used by two opposing traffic. So it can get kind of tight and one car has to steer off the road just a bit to make room so both car can pass along. For one hour tour, there was surprisingly a lot! First segment is interacting with a small herd of Alpacas in the outer farm. The second half is where you head into the inner portion of the farms where you'll be given food to feed the alpacas. There is a llama as well with the herd during the second half of the tour. Then afterwards, you get to go to the little shop on second floor of the farmhouse, where a cat name Charlie could be seen.

The food and honey are fresh and delicious, and their honey hand balm is soft and deeply moisturizing. Their staff are some of the kindest people you'll ever meet and you can tell how passionate they are about the business and making a positive impact on their community. At one point they noticed I didn't get my order in time, and brought out an extra slice to thank me for my patience, which goes to show their attention to making their customers happy and quickly correcting any mistakes. Food was extra fresh and absolutely delicious. Pepperoni Pizza - 5/5. Soft sourdough crust and mini pepperoni cups. Salad - 5/5. Fresh. Croutons and ranch made in house. Cookies - 5/5. Peanut butter chuck and chocolate chip cookies were perfectly chunky. Hot Honey - 5/5. Extra spicy (and when I say spicy, I mean spicy), and goes well with the pizza! Looking forward to stopping by their brick and mortar location soon, and trying their Tri Tip sandwich!

Despite growing up around here, I somehow never stumbled through these grand entrance gates until recently. This gem of a garden isn't just my butt's savior now on long drives up from LA, but it's a sliver of paradise found--and sanity regained. Just walking around here for 15-20 mins. and you'll feel your blood pressure drop a few notches to a pleasant state of calm. You can explore the themed areas, take in the vegetation around you, and get landscaping tips just from strolling around their property. The plant things are grouped in various climate/hemispheres and it's nice to see them taking root and being incorporated in a seamless design (and it's nice shopping experience too). I was impressed with the selection and bought a few small air plants and succulents that are still thriving with offshoots. Prices are reasonable. For pros looking for inspo, I think this place that can offer Interior Designers & Landscapers creativity with plants. Or even the DIY Weekend Warrior looking to revamp their current landscaping or add a little something new to it. They have a wide variety of exotics, California natives to indigenous to Australia, and every other tree, shrub, and greenery in between. Since it's the year of the (hobby) horse, I'll be sure to get my butt up here more often in 2026.

Taco Man Wedo here Food Discoveries and more . . …read more This is my second review. Yesterday, my Schnauzer Lola and I had a special day in Carpenteria & Ventura. Food: Rori's has the best tasting ice cream going on the Central coast and surrounding areas. I've been to the Ventura & Arroyo Grande locations and they are fantastic as well. They use high quality ingredients and you cannot go wrong with whatever you decide to order. They actually have chunks in their ice cream, unlike the overrated Handels. However, that's another story for another time. One of my personal favorites is the Pistachio Ice cream loaded with delicious nuts. The chocolate peanut butter is fantastic and the chocolate with chunks of fudge brownies throughout the frozen masterpiece. Muy Delicious! Service: The service is fantastic and they greet you with a smile and they are very accommodating and very dog friendly. Ambiance: The ambiance is not the greatest here and very small. It is a shared location with a Mexican restaurant. However, you're going here for delicious ice cream. Furthermore, they have tables set up outside on the sidewalk with umbrellas and it is usually shaded here with dog friendly people always walking by. I would like to see them eventually get their own stand alone place similar to Ventura with room to move around. I would give this place overall a 4.5 review due to ambiance. However, on Yelp they get 5 stars because half's don't exist. . It would be a sin to give them 4 stars here. 5 stars all the way. Rori Trovato has empire in the making. May God bless this place substantially. Cheers my friends!

One day the world will understand what I say to be true -- one day, Rori's will have its day in the sun. It's Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y in all caps. It's everything I could ever want in an ice cream. My favorite flavors are chocolate ice chunk, banana brown sugar, and salted caramel. 100/100 score. If you know, you know. P.S. Rori's makes McConnell's look like child's play. Many will disagree. But what can I say, I have a supremely well-refined palate.
