A quaint coffee roaster off of Ventura boulevard. There's street parking as well as a small parking…read morelot in the back. The main thing that stands out here is their 1987 coffee roaster which is the center piece of the cafe. They roast various single origin beans on a daily basis, so you know you can purchase some fresh coffee beans here. If you need your beans grounded, they do grind it for you depending on your brewing method. They have beans of light roast, medium roast and dark roast and sell by various weights for a very reasonable price. They also sell various tea leaves, baked goods (croissant, muffin, scones, bagel, Danish, coffee cake, Dessert Therapy cookies, and merchs. They also have a seasonable menu that changes. When I went, it was the Sakura season menu. Staff were all friendly and were very willing to answer any questions regarding the menu. Please note, the base coffee blend for each day varies and rotates on a daily basis For my visit, I tried ... 1. Buttered Coffee (4.5/5) The base coffee for the day was the Peru single origin, which was well-balanced; slightly sweet with a hint of tartness and nuttiness. They then add a chunk of butter into the coffee, which helps cut some of the acidity, but also is supposed to enhance the caffeine effect and give you additional energy from the fat. It does leave a layer of fat/oiliness so if you are not a fan of that, then this may not be for you. The butter did give it a subtle buttery flavor, which I personally liked. 2. Matcha with Sakura Cold Foam (4/5) The matcha was blended smoothly and was not grassy at all. The Sakura cold foam didn't really taste like Sakura (been to Japan, so know what real Sakura flavor should taste like), but instead, just tasted floral. 3. Columbia Supremo Whole Beans Full body and aromatic. Good for those who like to drink black coffee 4. Guatemala Huehuetenango Whole Beans: Crisp, acidic and a hint of nuttiness Glad I found this local roaster where I'll definitely be coming back to get some more fresh beans.

Cute shop which opened several months back, but today was my first time here. I'm glad we had the…read morechance to come by and visit! We ordered the Amapola Latte, which has white chocolate and macadamia nut, and I asked for oat milk. It was creamy, smooth, delectable, probably a little plain for some but I didn't mind it. I like lattes with interesting and rare ingredients, so this was right up my alley. We also had the Vietnamese Coffee, which was not as strong as we would have expected for a Viet Coffee. Still good, but quite muted. The Bacon Quiche was more of an egg omelette than a flaky delicate pastry, but that was okay. My plus one said it was more of an egg bite than a flaky pastry. Good for two to share, and the perfect choice for breakfast. The menu includes different kinds of toast, tuna melt, cheesecake bites, sizable muffins, and several kinds of quiche like tomato, mushroom, and the bacon. I love a good variety of quiche! Unfortunately, a few things made this experience less pleasant... 1) The barista could not answer what was in the bacon quiche. She said she'd need to call the owner to check and then made no attempt or offer to do so. I said I presume there's cheese and bacon, she said yeah, and I asked if there were any nuts - she wasn't sure. I still ordered it, but I do not recommend taking a gamble if you have any sort of allergy or limitation (at least, without the owner present to clarify). 2) Another customer came in for a tuna melt, which they didn't have. It wasn't even 10am yet... and there wasn't much foot traffic. She ended up leaving without ordering. If your interest is that specific, I suggest calling ahead to check before making the journey here. 3) I asked where the forks are and was pointed to a small station off to the side. I went over and ... no forks. I had to ask her again for them. Again, empty shop, not even 10am yet. All in all, a small business with something different to offer, but some room to grow and improve when it comes to service and ambiance. I'm less concerned about the price point, given it's a small business that offers ingredients you don't typically see elsewhere. Plenty of free parking in the lot, though I can imagine parking gets a bit trickier during peak traffic hours. Lastly, this is more of a grab and go spot. The seats aren't comfy and it's rather cramped. You can sit inside or out, though.

Nice, spacious interior and they also have lounge/couches in the back which is nice. Great vibe to this place and the worker was very nice.

Drink came out pretty quick and had a very pretty coffee color! Sometimes you just immediately know it'll be good just by the color and it was! Super delicious, perfect maple flavor. Would definitely come back!! IG: @ammysalamii

This pretty coffee shop is located in a small plaza with free parking available. As soon as we walked into JV Espresso Bar and Catering we were greeted by this sweet barista and cashier. She made suggestions. She provided excellent customer service. We ordered the Orange Heart Latte and the Adelita. Wow! The Orange Heart Latte was delicious. It was perfect. I enjoyed the orange and espresso combination. There were orange pulps too in the latte which I thought was unique. Really excellent coffee. We can't wait to come back and try other coffee items on JV Espresso Bar and Catering's menu.

I always ask for extra ice so it's not too milky and half the sweetness, and it comes out perfect every time. Sometimes I'll order a RAF, equally delicious, but I'd recommend getting it hot than iced. My husband really enjoys their drip coffee too. The staff is quick, friendly, and super accommodating. I'll even call ahead when I'm in a rush, and they always have my order ready to go. Also don't forget to sign up for their rewards program! Each drink gets you a point and after I believe 15 points? you get free drink of your choice.

I really like the Chagaccino with oatmilk. It was fantastic in flavor and smooth. The first drink was nothing like it. They said someone probably took mine but my receipt was attached to the first drink. Ugh! I'm so glad the offered to remake mine. Since it was my first time here I would know what my drink was supposed to taste like and I have also never ordered a Chagaccino before. I don't think my review would have been as favorable. I like the atmosphere. It is funny and cute. I hope I can come back soon but it is far from my house to make this every day. Street parking. There is also pay for parking lot in back. I don't know if they validate since I stayed on street. Otherwise it is normally $3 every 15 minutes.

It just felt like every other coffee shop. I ordered the matcha horchata and the chai iced latte. They didn't really have a lot of flavor. I'm not really sure what they could be missing but they made me so thirsty after drinking them. I think if you want an OK spot near the area and you are too lazy to make your own, it's alright. I probably would not come again. It's not bad but it just wasn't my favorite.

This review is long overdue…read more I've been a House Roots regular since they opened their SFV shop many years ago and frequent the bakery as well. This location is the newest (only about a year or so?) of the three. Each store has a similar and yet distinct style/focus. This shop is located on the ground level of an apartment/leasing space, so if you're not looking for it, it can be missed/mistaken. Parking at first glance also seems difficult but don't worry, there's plenty in the parking garage behind the shop/ below the apartment building. The shop itself is beautiful! Compared to the other two locations, this location is most spacious; There's outdoor seating as well and indoor seating. It's pretty family friendly and equally accommodating to students/working professionals who need a place to do some work. There's a grab and go section, for those who need a quick bite as well as some food items- pastries and burritos. Overall, the environment is pretty relaxed and chill. As far as drinks go, I've tried several- everything from the drip, pour overs, espresso shots, americanos, sweet lattes, and pictured, both matcha and einspanner dreams from the last time I came with my husband and parents. Pricing is fair but most importantly, all their drinks are good! The espresso is good consistently which in turn makes all their coffee drinks delicious. All the speciality drinks are not overly sweet and well balanced, unless requested. Specifically from the last visit, the vanilla cream on top of the einspanner/matcha dreams were to die for. My husband, who isn't a coffee drinker also mentioned how good the matcha was, even with almond milk (he's lactose). If you want to venture out/explore something out of the usual drip or americano, I recommend the einspanner or matcha dream drinks! Besides the good coffee, all the Houseroots locations are set apart by their hospitality, and this shop is unparalleled. Every time I've come to grab a cup on my way to visit my parents or for an afternoon pick me up, all the baristas have been welcoming and warm. Northridge is always a treat, can't wait to come back when in the area!
