I love this place because it's family-owned and operated. I've walked here with my dog and sat on their patio to enjoy a coffee and Mexican Pan Dulce. If you want an authentic taste of a Mexican-style cafe, try them out; you'll be glad you did.

First time here The coffee beans here are truly exceptional. My breve latte was a delightful explosion of rich coffee flavor, unlike other places where the taste of milk overpower the brew. Indulging in tamales during the autumn season is a must! I savored every bite of the flavorful chicken tamale, with its expertly seasoned meat and silky smooth masa. The green salsa provided just the right amount of heat, letting the flavors shine through without overwhelming my taste buds. Thanks and I'll be back!

Meeting a friend for brunch. Wanted something new in TO (new for me anyway). La Cereza is a small cafe with ample free parking both in front and behind the cafe. Order at the counter and they bring your order out to you. Very small on the inside - only a few tables. We chose to sit at one of the tables on the patio. A limited breakfast menu. I went with a breakfast burrito and coffee. Brought out in a plastic bowl and plastic silverware. Very informal. It was my first breakfast burrito so I can honestly say it was the best breakfast burrito I have ever had! It was also absolutely delish. Very good coffee as well. Family owned and operated - got to meet the owner - very friendly.

Cute little family bakery and coffee shop. Very local spot! They are so sweet here. The coffee itself was amazing. 10/10 for a vanilla iced latte. I got the small which came in this cute cup but actually is a lot bigger than it looks. Only thing to note is that it is a bit pricey but definitely worth it. Easy to park in lot and was quick! Right off the 101.

I love this little cafe on Thousand Oaks Blvd! It's such a gem with it's bright, airy white walls and friendly smiles. If Thousand Oaks were a cafe, this is what it would look like because it's a family affair, with mom and dad owning the place and Manuel, college student and his infant brother winning over the customers. You feel so welcome and home when you are here. The Cruz family would be just enough. But it's the baked goods that take it over the top. The muffins are soft inside, cake like. The cookies bring up a close second, so chewy and delicious. Everything is delicious without being full of sugar and overly sweet. Chase your treats with a cup of coffee, tea, latte, or hot chocolate. Expect to pay about $9 for muffin + hot chocolate. They offer breakfast and lunch which includes things like breakfast burritos and sandwich wraps. The menu is small, but mighty. What are you waiting for? Head off for a breakfast burrito or a wrap and bring two friends with you!

La Cereza Cafe & Bakery is located in Thousand Oaks, on Thousand Oaks Blvd & Parker Ave. You will see the hanging sign for La Cereza on the corner, not on the building. If you know where Tarantula Hill Brewing Co is, they are in the next building at the lot next to them. It has its own parking lot & street parking. Indoor & Outdoor seating is available. This Family Owned & Operated Biz opened up about 4 months ago. I was helped by Mayra this morning. She was nice, very informative, knowledgeable & mentioned some of their offerings. Breakfast & Lunch Sandwiches are made to order. I was glad to know they also serve Breakfast Burritos & Chilaquiles. I definitely need to try those next time! They have a pastry case that I was eyeing, but wasn't sure what to get. Gives me an excuse to come back. In the display case I saw different bagel options, croissants, cakes & muffins in the case. They offer coffee, tea, hot chocolate and some Grab & Go Drinks available for purchase. I got a simple Latte (extra $.95 charge for Oat Milk & for a pump of SFV), which I probably didn't need. Good temp & smooth foam on top. Since it was National Croissant Day, I had to order a Breakfast Sandwich Croissant. I got the Egg, Spinach & Cheese Croissant. (Croissant was an extra $1.50 charge btw). Croissants for sandwiches seemed ready made, but Sandwiches are Made to Order. The sandwich was warm & I devoured it. It was good, esp w/ that melted Pepper Jack Cheese.
