There's also a retail area, very modest, with other great gift able items like artisanal chocolate bars, drinks mixes, and cards for many occasions. Anything with the salted caramel is divine.

They have lots of stunning hand-crafted chocolates behind a glass counter. There was a really friendly lady who worked there who gave us the rundown on the most popular goodies. I got 4 chocolates: -Passionfruit dark chocolate -Pot o' Gold (coconut caramel, almonds, milk & dark chocolate) - this was insanely good, my favorite -Macadamia coconut in dark chocolate -Salted caramel almond turtle in dark chocolate (she said this is an all-time best-seller) They have gift boxes for an additional price in case you're getting a gift (this would make an awesome gift!) or a free standard plastic bag if you're getting some for yourself. They're soooo tasty! Definitely worth stopping by!

They make these bars on the spot, and it's taken no more than 15 minutes each time I've come (and perfect views of the harbor while you wait!). Great for gifts or as a sweet treat. Also really enjoy their chocolate dipped oreos here, which was actually how I discovered this place. They're a great sweet treat after you've grabbed a meal at one of the other restaurants in the harbor. A wonderful stop for tasty chocolate or gifts for friends and family.

Chocolate, Chocolate and more Chocolate!…read more A bright and very nice store full of wonderful chocolate. They have pre made bar combos of milk, dark, white chocolate and sugar free. They have small bags with pieces of various chocolates with different toppings. The fun part is picking out your own plain chocolate bar and choosing from dozens of additions. From dried fruit to nuts and caramel and peanut butter chips, and much more. You can customize any bar with a name, logo and more. The staff were so helpful, answering lots of question. They made delicious recommendations and were very patient and sweet.

WOW. I was lucky enough to score one of Skylar Bryce's assorted pie boxes this past weekend and my…read morelife.is.changed. This week's box had coconut passionfruit lime, strawberry lemon meringue and banana cream. Truly cannot choose a favorite, these were three of the most beautiful, bursting with flavor slices of pie I have ever had. I don't even know if I liked pie before this order, but now it might be my favorite dessert!? These slices are high-end, decadent desserts that are well worth it. It's clear that Skylar is passionate about her pies and is so, so talented. Cannot wait to place my next order!

I had originally seen Skylar's pies on Instagram and thought they looked gorgeous. Once a friend of…read moremine told me she had tried them and said they tasted as good as they looked, I knew I had to track some down to taste for myself. She was absolutely right! Skylar posted her pies for the week on Wednesday on her Instagram account, and I was able to purchase a pie slice box (3 different slices for $35) for pick up in Ventura on Sunday. This week's pies were strawberry cream, lemon with meringue, and coconut cream. They were all beautifully decorated and baked to perfection. The coconut cream was my favorite because it had a salty crust that paired well with the sweet coconut. But honestly, they were all so delicious! I will definitely be re-ordering more of these pie slices soon. They were worth every penny.

I am eternally grateful to this man for his honesty and compassion. Thank you, Rosalie Imports! It is an honor to have you in our community!!!

Their commitment to locally and sustainably sourced food really shines through in every dish. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and dishes are made from scratch. The service is always warm, attentive and welcoming. Tina is exceptionally knowledgeable about wine and has a wonderful ability to recommend the perfect pairing to complement your meal.

Paradise Pantry is one of those rare places where outstanding food, genuine hospitality and consistency come together beautifully. We always leave looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!

SERVICE: I appreciated the cheese samples once seated…read more There's a deli in the back to buy blocks of cheese or spreads. Nextdoor also carries a lovely room of some great wines. The employees were kind, place was clean, there's in and outdoor seating, and parking is what you make of it as PP is located on a blocked off street where cars are not permitted. All to say, research where you wish to walk about, find a meter or free parking lot - enough around, and put on your good yet cute walking shoes because you'll enjoy strolling about after your meal here - or drink. FOOD: I sooo loved my grill cheese. Instead of mushrooms I swapped for spinach - you're welcome. AND THE PICKLE ON THE SIDE - delish! So why 4 and not 5? Because of my limited lifestyle I found the menu a bit limiting. However, I am not a HUGE cheese person and I don't drink. With that said, I feel anyone else who loves to indulge in that world should have a super great experience. Mine was still great. WELL: I actually enjoyed my time and shall return. My mother loves a good red wine so I'll bring her too.

This is a true no-frills donut shop. Nothing fancy, just classic donuts done right, which I honestly love. You order directly at the window, making it a quick, grab-and-go type of spot. My go-to is the chocolate French cruller: light, airy, and perfectly balanced. Everything is fresh and the prices are great. The owners are friendly, efficient, and clearly know what they're doing. They're located on a busy street, so street parking availability really depends on the day and time, but it's usually manageable. Their hours can vary, they sometimes stay open later or close early if they sell out (which happens for a reason). A neighborhood staple and absolutely worth stopping for if you're in the area.

We were seated 25 minutes ago and the waiter mentioned he would be back with menus. He never came back, and after 15 minutes, I had to go retrieve menus myself.

I love their pastries, but the recent price increases do make them a luxury item. Kouign Amann are my fave, but any of their croissants are also great. I haven't really tried their drinks. Had a Hot chocolate at the Camarillo location, and they even had a little latte art in the milk foam. A beautiful space to enjoy, but pricey overall. Service is usually fine, not overly friendly but that is also due to being so busy that they need to move the lines quickly and efficiently. At Camarillo, the server was much more talkative and friendly because it wasn't crowded when I went.

She had the chicken salad. She said it was just chicken with mayo. The croissant was dry. The iced tea tasted like coffee unfortunately. The gentleman that delivered our food just plopped the plates down and walked away. No gluten free options only macaroons! First time at this location normally go to Camarillo and TO so I was expecting the same great food and service. There was a napkin on the ground directly under our table. The ledge by window was dirty! Just disappointing!
