This is week two of me ording and I will definitely be my go to for meal prep the staff is amazing and friendly. Food portions are perfect and taste Amazing you can definitely tell they make everything fresh and by hand the taste is like it’s from a 5 star restaurant love them“
“Cool atmosphere, the coffee was strong lol. I got the butter beer latte half sweet with almond milk and it was not too bad. I’ll probably try something else next time though. For food I got a banana loaf but was hoping they had breakfast sandwiches Overall I think I would go back if I’m on that side of the valley!“
“My first time at the wonderfully hidden gem. The barista was so friendly and helpful. She recommended the jalapeño breakfast burrito and it did not disappoint. Perfect amount of spice, large portion, and so tasty I completely forgot to take a pic! The latte is an off the menu item it originally does not have coffee, so good. I will be back to explore the lunch menu.“
“I love G&G, know most of the staff by name, have gotten to know some other regulars. Everyone is incredibly nice, usually open for games, even with strangers, and I've met quite a few people through the café. I get tons of work done there, albeit with welcome stops for board games. The place is just wonderful, a really friendly environment, I often stay there from opening to closing.Food is fairly cheap, the café doesn't partake in toxic American tipping culture, and the board games are competitively priced with online retailers.Parking: There's a tiny lot out back, mostly, people park down a nearby residential road, short walk (1-2 mins)“
“Porto’s cortadito coffee is one of my favorites!!! Their mocha is so yummy too. Huge fan of their pastries especially the croissants, cheese roll and guava strudel with cheese! The chicken croquette and spinach feta empanada are also incredible! Go here on a weekday to avoid extremely long lines.“
“If you’re looking for a cute place to take photos and have mouthwatering pastries, this place is it! It’s a small and cozy place with a good variety of pastries to choose from. Some items include square croissants (which is quite difficult to make, hard to find at any other location), strawberry croissants (that has both an excellent visual appearance and excellent taste, also a popular menu item), breads with cute faces, savory pastries such as a pastry called bacon bacon, etc. This place is also really cheap for the quality of the items they serve there. Highly recommend!“
“Came across this restaurant on yelp and decided to stop by because of their great reviews. Im glad i did because now it makes sense why they have such good reviews. Amazing 10/10 service and food. Extremely nice ambiance to whole another level. I would say Their food is the best mediterranean food in not only entire valley but entire california. Trust my words and you wont be disappointed to come and check them out. Thank you and ill be back for sure .“
“What a neighborhood gem! The owner is sweet it made it even better. She explained the Yerba mate process and some recommendations. Loved the mango and maracuya (passion fruit combo). classic green tea has long been touted as the best detox beverage and matcha has been gaining traction in recent years among top trending drinks, yerba mate deserves aThe Yerba mate has an even higher polyphenol content than regular green tea, and the list of benefits don't end there including morning energy, reducing inflammation, helps with detox, protects your heart. Drink was refreshing and tasted delicious.Empanadas are so tasty get the arabe or the ham and cheese if you are not adventurous. Served hot and was so good.The ambience was very chill and relaxing. They have a few tables and even a couch area for a more relaxed setting. Definitely adding this to the rotation.“
“i’m gonna give my bare honest review, i’ve been here 2 times! PASTRIES N GOODS R SOOO BOMB !!! the croissant is so doughy and delish!! ughhh the mixed berry danish YUM, apple cinnamon twist PERF!!! they also offer varieties of croissant sandwiches & another type of bread but i forgot which kind… they have bobas, smoothies, juices, and what i came for lattes. both times i can taste the espresso is burnt…. never the less how outstanding the pastries are i still give this spot a 5 star. go try it it’s delish. i know there serving a lot and i’m sure there not crazily fixated if there pulling a clean shot. still love love this place and there FAIRLY reasonable in prices“
“Love love love Ferretiz Grill! They have the best California Benedict! The staff are really personable, and they tend to recognize you only after a few times of going. I've noticed they remember most of their costumers, which I find really sweet. The waiters are also so kind, great service. Really homey feeling place, and the prices are good for what you get! Feels like a hidden Simi gem.“
“Most dishes were delicious (i.e. the bourekas plate and shakshuka)! However, some items were busts (i.e. the mushroom soup which tasted more like over salted garlic bits soup with hardly any actual mushrooms and the soggy vegetable quinoa which had more eggplant chunks than quinoa). Also, the lox & bagel plate could be improved with a bakery caliber type bagel vs one that resembles a grocery store Sarah Lee bagel. The pictured items were yummy.“
“We live quite a distance from this cafe, but if we get a chance we will drive all the way here for delicious Taiwanese food. I love how the owner remembers us over more than 10 years. :). She is so sweet and remembers her customers. We especially love the popcorn chicken with veggies, egg, and rice. Boba is delicious too! There is a little gift shop there with things that are handmade. There are lots of tables in there.“
“Came in with a friend the other day and I just have to leave a review because I absolutely love this place! The owner was soo sweet and she even informed us they get most of their ingredients fresh daily and they hand make their own vanilla!!! You can taste how fresh the food is and the love they put into it. The ambiance is beautiful and I will definitely be back.“
“I decided to eat here with my family for breakfast after the first day of Hanukkah and the owners communiciated with me that it will be around 35-45 minute wait for food due to high number of customers ordering on site and online. Sat outside but decided to walk inside to order latte's and bake goods meanwhile.Inside is DEVINE. It was full of customers waiting to buy the Chanukah donuts (seasonal only, I was told) and we ended up taking to our table all 14 flavors of delicious mouthful. and took another 12 special assorted flavors to go to gift to our family friend.Time went by quickly shared with my good company and inside this family-oriented environment. Everybody was working hard, and the food was worth the anticipation. My family and I walked out pleased and impressed by their quality. We will all be coming back in again.“
“Andy was absolutely amazing. He took care of us and did everything he could to make us feel welcome. The food was delicious, especially the falafel pita. He went the extra mile to offer us sides and coffee. We felt like we'd joined a friend for dinner.“
“My Persian friend Neda came to visit and wants me to try Persian food. She found Vanak online and we are trying it for the first time. It's located in the El Pollo Loco shopping center. This place looks nice and clean, they got a A grade. It has a nice ambience. I'm sure it looks a lot better in the evening. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The parking was ok. Saied took our order and was very patient and helpful. He wore a great smile and eye contact is a plus We had tons of questions about the food. He explained all about the food so patiently. The price is a bit high but they have good portions. They have such great customer service which is such a plus.. They let us sample a freshly made dessert. Usually with the amount of questions my friend had they would have been annoyed already. They were in the middle of a very big order and still tended to our tiny order. I'll definitely recommend and will be back.“
“It was very busy observing the holiday but this staff was kicking butt. They were still friendly and kind. I forgot to ask for a receipt and they were so accommodating despite being busy. I got a cappuccino and the lox. Very yummy! Will be back!“
“We loved this place and can't wait to return! In fact I held a breakfast meeting there the next to day so I could try their breakfast. The decor, service and food are exemplary! Oh....the espresso drinks....perfect! The only thing that might make it better is one of those pastries they have by the front. Maybe next time! This neighborhood is lucky to have place like this ?“
“Stopped in at this boba shop while I was visiting CSUN and it didn't disappoint. I got their passion fruit green tea with boba and it totally hit the spot! The drink came out pretty fast after I ordered.The food also smelled great, but I was in a rush, so I only got the drink. I'll have to try the food next time!“
“The Lucky Dog Cafe is my go-to coffee place in Simi Valley. The staff are wonderful, friendly and proficient. The coffee is outstanding, the baked goods are tasty. There is good indoor and outdoor seating in a very pleasant atmosphere. The lucky dog is pet friendly, and even though I don't own a pet, I enjoy having the occasional dog around. I highly recommend it.“
“Haven’t had some great breakfast food in months due to being deployed (military). First stop back home, Jerry’s Coffee Shop. Breakfast food hit the spot! Jerry’s is my favorite place in town to get breakfast and the people there are very nice. If you’ve never been, I highly recommend you go. You won’t regret it!“
“I have tried the burrata toast and the lavender oat latte. Tasty! Will be coming back to try other toast and coffee. The outdoor space looks super cute and will have to come back another day with my Pupp.Believe you also get a discount if you got your hair done at the Salon couple doors down.“
“Fantastic food with a wide variety of drinks and dishes available. Excellent service, cheerful, fast, insightful regarding the menu. Menu. Eclectic inside, with a clear sense of humor on the part of the decorators and or owners.Parking: If you approach on Cochran, go up the alleyway adjacent to the buildings on the west side. That takes you "up a floor", to a large free parking lot. The entrance is off this parking lot.“
“Carrara’s is one of my favorite places to go to! It’s one of the most authentic Italian cafes I’ve been to out here. The coffee is so good and the pastries don’t just look pretty, but they’re actually delicious. Everyone who works here is so nice and goes above and beyond! I wish I knew everyone’s names but from going there as often as I do I can honestly say Tallin, Danica, Alir, Sarah and really just the whole staff is so sweet and they make you feel so welcomed! Alir makes some of the best lattes I’ve ever had and Tallin decorates the foam on the lattes and the desserts in a beautiful way! I love everything about this place and would highly recommend :)“
“The Soufflé pancakes were awesome! Great service and great food! It gets very busy at peak hours so it's best to get there early!I came back with my mom and the Lemon Twist pancakes were delicious! She loved her strawberry waffle too! Always a good meal and great service here!“

“Everything that we ordered was delicious and freshly prepared. Carne Asada wrap, chicken quesadilla. Both excellent. My Dad said the smoothie was the best he's ever had! Just go here , it's the best food north of Oaxaca. Gracias, “
“I love Ube so I was excited to see there was a cafe nearby that made ube desserts and drinks. So far I've tried the ube bars and ube cheesecake. Both were absolutely delicious and I am excited to try the other desserts in the future. Recently I tried their ube boba tea and it was so good even my girlfriend had to take a few sips. The staff were really friendly and helpful with ordering. The inside is big enough for a few tables and chairs and would be a great place to hangout if I weren't in a rush.“
“First time coming here & I will definitely be back! Came in at 11am on a rainy Sunday. Surprisingly the wait was 10 mins for 2 people but that might have been due to the weather. The food was incredible! I ordered the strawberry French toast while my fiancé ordered the omelette and both were amazing! It took a while for our food to come out but the service was otherwise great so I didn't mind. I'm coming back to try the rest of the menu!“
“Popped in tonight for a last minute treat as it was my son's 6th birthday. He was wearing a birthday crown and Walter came out and treated my son like an absolute king!!! He made him feel so special and even gave him 2 cookies on the house! That never happens in this town. Thank you, Walter, for your exemplary customer service and delicious cookies!!“
“We have been regulars at the tomato patch for 30 years, the quality, service, portions, freshness has not changed ever, each sandwich and each dish is done with loving care for the past 30 years, my kids would go after school, now my grandkids go after school, this place is a landmark, same owners always smiling, always happy. Don't miss this hidden gem in the valley, once you go. You will not go anywhere else enjoy!!“
“Jennifer is amazing and so so sweet! Best coffee i have had in a while and the amazing customer service made my day even more. The coffee bar is connected to a yummy diner which makes the ambiance very homey and comforting. If youre nearby definitely check this place out! :)“
“Absolutely stellar. Amazing food, attentive staff. Tables are a little small but they were functional. I spent an hour and a half or so there nursing coffee while I did some work on my laptop, they do have wifi. Food is reasonably priced.Vegetarian options: Vegan breakfast options available, stellar quality.“
“came by for brunch on a Sunday, party of 5 around 1130 & quoted 30 minute wait. Wait was about as predicted, maybe a little longer. Food did take awhile to come out but seemed like everyone was happy with their food! I personally got a breakfast burrito & the portion was HUGE. Good flavor. My only complaint is the fresh salsa was very meh... could use some spicing up there. But otherwise nice experience. The menu is large, plenty for everyone, even a picky eater. Gender neutral restroom, private parking lot.“
“Tea N Tea is a regular spot for me. Their drinks are great, but if you have not tried their food you are missing out. Their Pork Chops and Rice are to die for. The Pot Stickers are like nowhere else with amazing seasoning. I can't wait to try the Squid Skewers. If you have a little time to wait for it, Their Viatnamese Coffee is a truly unique experience. Give them a try today!“
“I love this little place. Food is great and so are the prices compared to the area. I love that they make everything fresh and that you can order on the phone before I drive there. They will modify and make whatever you want with their ingredients. Hot coffee is ok, iced coffee is better. Definitely recommend!“
“My first time visiting Firehouse Cafe this morning. I got the California omelet with refried beans and biscuits and gravy. Food was good and the waitress was super friendly. Will be coming here again in the future. Would like to try lunch here.“
“Big improvement on efficiency! All the times I got boba here in the past took a long time. I always hesitated to come here because of the wait time. It's been months since. We went again yesterday and we didn't wait long even though there were several people in line before us. Orders were being called out much faster than before. It was impressive given how slow it used to be. We weren't hungry and didn't have space for chicken, but we tried the fries which is new and they were nicely cooked. Just needs more seasoning to compete with Potato Corner or Quickly because the fries weren't coated enough and kind of bland. Will definitely come here more often now. These new batch of hires are great! Hope they get a raise or something.“
“Came here to watch some college football. Very nice mellow atmosphere, fantastic service and very accommodating when asked to put on a certain game. Three of the four that came with ordered an outstanding nachos plate and I had the chicken avocado salad which was really just okay. I'll try something different next time. But all in all really a great place and really friendly service. I'll be back!“
“Have you noticed that your café is becoming less popular every day? It seems like you've purposely weakened the Wi-Fi signal to discourage people from staying too long. However, your café is not just any fast food chain. People enjoy coming here to relax, sip a delicious cappuccino, and indulge in your tasty food. Many of us who frequent your establishment are writers, creatives, or artists who need a cozy and comfortable space to work. Please reconsider your approach.“
“Love this place. I still have yet to be disappointed in anything I've had here. This place is always busy and since they make things fresh for you it can get kind of backed up. I'd suggest calling in your order first. The 2 ladies up front were the most amazing. Thank you!“
“My husband and I have been coming here for years. We like coming for lunch too. Today we shared the large Southwest Chicken Salad- so delicious. Our server, Lori is just so nice and she is on top of her game. To be honest though, everyone here is really nice. We will definitely be coming back.“
“This cute place in Del-taco plaza. Plenty of free parking. My go to for AMAZING & UNIQUE DRINKS! I got the Vietnamese iced coffee with coffee noodles and UBE foam get it half sweet!!! Kids liked theirs as well. Don't forget to ask for stamp card!“
“I've been coming here for over a year now. It's my go to place for coffee. The taste and quality of the coffee beans they use is exceptional. They have really good French toast and burritos. A great place to meet up some friends or get some work done.“
“Decided to visit them as the museum was actually limited today due to the MLK holiday. The staff was very and attentive, they would come and check in frequently. I decided to start off with a glass of Chardonnay and they serve you two rolls of bread with butter while you wait for your meals. I also asked for water and they serve it with ice, it tasted good to me! I ordered the avocado toast plate, it also came with a side spring salad, fresh veggies such as carrots Persian cucumbers and tomatoes along with the spring mix lettuce. The avocado toast was also delicious fresh avocado spread a slice of tomato The ambience was pleasant, not too loud Overall, a nice little spot to visit if you are in the skirball museum!“
“Absolute hidden gem. I stopped by once, a few months ago thinking it was a standalone location, but found its inside the bank building. I have no reason to ever go back to that building but I crave the sandwich I had DAILY! I’ll definitely be back soon“
“Today, I was in search of picking up a quick breakfast nearby. We had a delicious bacon, egg, & cheese croissant made to order as well as apple fritters with the right amount of crispness and apples AND a bear claw that ended up being stuffed with cinnamon apples. Nice people. Also locals sitting & eating when I arrived. A line formed a few times while there which showed that others were just as excited about this spot, but all quickly received their food & coffee.“
“First time. I was pleasently surprised .. restaurant is in strip mall but dont let that fool you. A variety of food at reasonable prices..I had a salad and it was fresh and delicious..I will definitely fo back and try theirs special plates. Nice neighborhood place. Give it a go!“
“We're able to be seated quickly and have menu's at table. The food was excellent!!! Not enough stars to fully rate it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!! Will return soon for more items on the menu!!!! Thanks much!!!!“
“The food here was great. I met with some friends for brunch on the patio. My friends brought their Samoyed, so the restaurant is dog friendly, which was nice. I had the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict with the Country Potatoes and everything was delicious! This restaurant had great service and a nice atmosphere.“
“Wow, Wow, Wow is all I can say after having several Ube items (Ube cookie , Ube truffle and Ube cheese rolls ). This is a must stop for some of the best unique dessert treats in the Valley. The baker Vanessa is so creative in her offerings.“
