It's conveniently close to my office, making it an easy stop. The pastries are fresh, flavorful, and pair perfectly with the coffee. Speaking of the coffee, you can genuinely taste the quality in every cup. It's smooth, rich, and clearly made with care not your average grab and go coffee. Friendly service, great atmosphere, and consistently good drinks and pastries make this an easy choice whenever I need a morning pick me up. If you're in the Moorpark area, it's definitely worth stopping by.

So many options on the menu including plenty of sugar free flavors and they have soy milk. Love it when coffee shops still offer soy milk. That's a huge plus. They also have the flavor of amaretto which you don't really see much! I've tried it from Monin as a sample and I really enjoyed it that I want to get my own bottle so I was excited they carried it. I ended up ordering an iced soy amaretto latte with only 3 pumps. The barista was nice enough to share w me their medium uses 6 pumps so if I wanted to do half to try it out first. I would've added one more pump but decided to just add a Splenda. It was good and the medium size is more than 16 oz I believe for $7.50. Parking is no problem since it's the big plaza like I said where Target and TJ Maxx are located. What a great first impression. I'll def be coming back here!

It had been a while since my last visit to The Alley. A few friends were setting up camp at the…read morepicnic tables, and I decided to join them on a Saturday afternoon. Much to my surprise, it was about as lively as I had remembered it. The Alley was established during Covid times and offered a retreat to escape from the humdrum of the homestead. These days, its friendly vibe welcomes neighbors and visitors with a backyard setting strewn with twinkle lights and family-style tables. It's a causal scene and easy to soak in the live music, sunlight/moonlight, and neighborly banter. The layout resembles an alley with shops on either side, big open doors invite you to grab something to eat, sample a drink, or shop for handmade gifts. On one side, you've got craft brews and coffee roasters. On the other side, it's local wines and piping hot pizzas. Dogs are welcome all around. At the center of it all, there's live music on the weekends. Modeled after a Beer & Wine Garden concept, The Alley features Enegren Brewery (beer), Lucas Sellers (wine), California Coffee Republic (java), Fire & Vice (pizza), and The Craft House (non-alcoholic tchotchkes). As a self-proclaimed wino, I opted for a sampling of the Lucas Sellers Wines. Ashley, who was behind the bar and top of the pours, gave me good suggestions and offered anecdotes about each wine on tap. At the end of the night, my light pinot paired perfectly with the Mushroom Arugula pizza from Fire & Vice. And I felt right at home, surrounded by friends.

I met Brooke -- she's the best employee on the planet, and that's not an exaggeration. If she was my employee I would be so proud and thrilled to have her representing the brand and the business. She's seriously talented, professional, and personable, and she made me the best iced mocha I've ever had in my life. It was perfectly balanced and I didn't even need to sweeten it - a first! My iced mocha was unreal! Brooke is extremely knowledgable and shared the creamery's interesting brand history and recipe continuity! They don't actually have a full creamery, but they do offer milk-based treats like ice cream, along with a creative selection of baked goods. I had the banana muffin stuffed with Nutella and it was so good. I also picked up a vegan, gluten-free blueberry coffee cake muffin and a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie -- there is something for everyone here and that is so thoughtful! I love well-made gluten-free products so I'll definitely be back! The chocolate chip cookie tastes like a regular chocolate chip cookie. You can't even tell that it's gluten-free. YAY! Brooke recommended coming back for weekend brunch, especially for the bananas foster French toast, and I already can't wait to try it. The breakfast burrito is next on my list too. The space is family-friendly, with cute machines that make it fun to visit. Highly recommend. Support local. Thank you!

They adjusted the 40 cents off the price. If the menu says "choice of milk" there shouldn't be an extra charge for the choice. Not a great experience. I wouldn't come back again.

It was watery and the espresso or syrup didn't stand out at all. It kind of just tasted like watered down iced coffee. The banana bread on the other hand was seriously the best banana bread I've ever had. It tasted like a mix of regular banana bread with nuts and a sugar cookie. I've been thinking about it all day. I would definitely give this place another chance and order another drink to see if it's any better. I will update my review after! :)

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.

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.

It's a special seasonal treat you won't want to miss. I also took a picture of the Matcha ice. I purchased the strawberry ganache pastry and also got a Matcha ice drink to go on ice. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. I also always appreciate a self-serve water station that's so pretty and maintained. Every aspect of Le Hérisson is so elevated, beautiful, and thoughtfully curated. My only little suggestion would be to consider putting the more delicate pastries, like the raspberry ganache I ordered, in a small box rather than a paper bag. Something this beautiful deserves to arrive looking just as beautiful--and mine unfortunately got a little smooshed on the takeout What an amazing hidden treasure to have right here in Simi Valley.

It reminded me of a margherita pizza, and I will definitely be ordering it again. For my drink, I got the Iced Chocolate Blend, and the little girl in me was screaming with excitement it was so rich and delicious, almost like a lightly thick chocolate malt. It definitely did not disappoint! The restaurant itself is super cute, with both indoor and outdoor seating available and awesome music playing throughout the café, which creates such a fun and lively atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly and worked hard to keep up with the morning crowd, all while greeting everyone with a smile. One suggestion: Le Harisson should showcase their drinks more because the Iced Chocolate Blend deserves way more attention. Highly recommend! They also have a great variety Matcha and Japanese Teas MUST TRY!

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.
