“I have known café altura for about 10 years now. In that time it has been an honor to try a variety of beans, literally everything at this point except for their decafs. I can vouch for saying that of all the local places I frequent for coffee, this is my go-to staple for what I keep at home and at work. In a pinch I have bought their instant coffee both for myself as well as to gift to others. The flavor is impeccable which I did not believe was possible in an instant coffee beforehand. Although I do prefer their light and medium roasts, when I want to have a thicker bolder flavor I have been known to brew a dark or two. The ethics and the relationships definitely show through in how well this business has been cultivated. If you check out their website, you can literally see the exact story behind each coffee Bean as well as what the deal is with the farm that they use. This is not your average coffee roaster, but rather someone with an expertise in the industry that has personal connections and does not abuse them or take them lightly. A secret all time wish of mine would be to see these beautiful folks hold a cupping for Elites! ...just saying“
“If you are looking for a great expresso (or any other tasty cofee based beverage), do not miss Prospect! The blend they served is delicate and well balanced. Add one of their pastries, and then you have the perfect breakfast. I advise you to sit outside to enjoy the sun (inside it can be noisy). The people working there are really kind.Kid-friendliness: It seems that a lot of families are coming with their kids on Sunday morning to enjoy great coffee and delicious cinnamon rolls !“
“Great coffee beans, roasted fresh and locally. Knowing the family behind Brazuka, they're passionate about coffee and terrific people. I do highly recommend everyone give Brazuka a try! I know it's available at Whole Foods in Thousand Oaks, or direct from their website.“
“Dropped off my espresso machine for repair after talking with Tyler on the phone. He was super knowledgable and helpful in diagnosing the issue. Not only did they diagnose the problem within 48 hours, they also repaired the machine in no time and gave me plenty of good advice on maintaining my machine properly. I picked up the machine from Foster who was also extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommend these guys & will definitely be back!“
“I like this store because they offer products that i can't find in other places or are too expensive online. I got pearl Jasmine here and didn't pay arms or legs for it. You can decide how much you want too, 1 oz or half oz or enough for what you need. The people who work here are so helpful, great and funny. Very awesome customer service“
