Stopped by Carrera's Bakery while they were offering samples and ended up completely blown away…read more The triple chocolate cake was outstanding, and the FRITTELLE--a classic Italian fried dough pastry--was unlike any I've ever had. I've been to Italy multiple times and grew up around Italian baking, and this is hands down the best frittelle I've ever tasted. Light, golden, and filled with vanilla custard, then finished with a dusting of powdered sugar, it was truly unforgettable. This is a real Italian bakery, and once you step inside, the space completely opens up--high ceilings, a beautiful interior, and a hidden, speakeasy feel you'd never expect from the street. The young man with blonde hair who helped me was so kind, knowledgeable, and clearly proud of the bakery. It made the whole experience even better. The latte was perfectly done as well. Everything here feels high quality and thoughtfully made. I'll definitely be back. Thank you--support local.

Carrara's Pastries in Moorpark never disappoints. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the…read moreattention to detail here is genuinely impressive. Within ten seconds of walking in, I was greeted by Ama, who set the tone for the whole visit. She was warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout. She even let me sample different gelato flavors and suggested some great dishes to try on my next visit. That kind of thoughtfulness goes a long way. The affogato here is on another level. Most places serve it in a paper cup where the espresso and gelato just blend into a mushy mess. Not here. Carrara's presents it beautifully on a stone tray, with a proper espresso cup and a transparent glass so you can actually see the layers of gelato and espresso. And Ama personally poured the espresso tableside, which really topped off the whole experience. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

We have come back to this place twice since the first time…read more The second time we returned, I ordered the same burrito as I had the first time. This was at about 5:45 PM. The burrito was nothing like the first one I had. This one was watery, thin, and just tasted completely different. I assume it's because the chef at night makes them differently than the one in the AM who made the first one I had. Updating again, we have tried this place for a third time, and we placed an online order through their website about 45 minutes ago. We came to pick up the order, and they are so busy, they didn't even have the order, they only just put it in now. This is unfortunate because it creates an inconvenience for us. If you allow online ordering, you should have the order ready by the stated time. This does put a sour taste in our mouth.. However- this burrito was back to tasting as delicious as the first I had gotten. So it seems the morning is the time to have the breakfast burrito!

Authentic Italian Gelato, here in Moorpark! We were looking for a sweet treat for my hubby's bday…read moreand he loves gelato even more than ice cream so we came here last night. They have so many delicious handmade, fresh and innovative flavors as well as Italian staples like hazelnut, chocolate, pistachio and vanilla. They had vegan and Gluten Free options too that looked very good. After sampling pistachio, I had to have it. The other members of the family had mango, mint, stracciatella, and dulce de leche. Every single flavor was made of pure ingredients, not with artificial flavoring or coloring. It was just as good as being in Italy, or in any of the high end gelaterias in Little Italy SD! It was nice and clean inside and they even had a really cute little Vespa you can take pictures with ( not sitting on it;). The gelato is a bit pricy - $8 for a single scoop and it goes up from there, but given the quality of the ingredients, I think it is worth it to support a local business who is putting in the work and delivering quality. Service was friendly and excellent- the owner is very nice and helpful. I highly recommend checking this place out!

I came here to try out California Bun, an eatery that has harnessed an interesting (long overdue) concept, to package portable food. Here they prepare snack sized bites (or a little more) of favorite food fancies, enveloped in a daily fresh baked round brioche bun. The store is high ceiling, spacious and large, with ample space to dine in or carry out. It is a mom and pop joint, that is slowly but surely, beginning to make a mark. On the main wall, elegantly displayed, are all the many enticing varieties, for the day. My visit was designed to take something to go. The conundrum here is, what to order, because there were so many inviting choices that were talking to you. I finally decided to select three of these evenly browned and differently topped buns. The El Sabroso (Egg, cheddar & jack cheese, bacon & Jalapeno salsa, garnished with Cheese, bacon & jalapeño). The Roadside Burger (Seasoned ground beef, grilled onions, white American cheese, & secret house burger sauce, garnished with Cheese & bacon). The Mac Daddy (Creamy mac and cheese with a cheddar, jack, and parmesan cheese blend, garnished with Panko bread crumbs). So whats the verdict? The Mac Daddy was my least favorite. In comparing the other two, the Roadside Burger seemed to have the higher of (inside filling/inside bread) ratio, as compared to the El Sabroso. However, the latter is the most attractive bun on the outside and overall, contains a good mix of flavors and slight kick. Any food with a visible Jalapeño is a magnet, for me. Still, this concoction needs more of the egg mixture, to achieve the right balance. In general, all 3 buns were soft, had a nice texture, bread taste and chew. Service here is warm, inviting, friendly and informative.

From the second we walked in, the space felt alive, warm, welcoming, & effortlessly cool. The people were super rad, the kind of energy that makes you feel like you belong there even on your first visit. Customer service? Genuine. Food? Delicious. Ambiance? Pure good vibes. We ordered the bubblegum boba, got the big one, and shared it, which somehow made it taste even sweeter. Every sip felt nostalgic and playful, like childhood joy dressed up in a cup of happiness. The price was moderate, but completely worth it. You're not just paying for boba... you're paying for an experience, a mood, a little pocket of joy in the day. If you're looking for a spot where flavor meets heart -- this is it.

A client sent us a large glass jar filled with Luvbug Chocolate Chip Cookies. I've never heard of…read moreLuvbug, but the cookies looked so good I couldn't wait to try them. Luvbug's signature chocolate chip cookies are big, thick, and loaded with chocolate chips. The cookie is firm, and the sweetness comes from the semi-sweet chocolate chips. It taste great out of the jar. However, you can also heat it up in the microwave (or toaster oven or in a pan on the stove). Warming them up takes them to a whole other level of deliciousness. The cookie becomes soft and oozes with chocolaty goodness. Pure heaven! Luvbug cookies are baked fresh daily in small batches and hand delivered locally. Erica, the owner, learned how to bake at a young age from her grandma Peral. Her grandma would refer to her grandkids as LuvBugs and that inspired the name of Erica's business. There are a number of gift options available and a variety of cookies to choose from, including Vegan. If you really want to impress someone I suggest sending them some Luvbug cookies. They are far better than Mrs. Fields.
