Carrara's Pastries | Cakes, Gelato & Coffee — Restaurant in Agoura Hills

A rum baba, 5 mini lindt cookies, torta del nonna, velina, and a cappuccino had me running in circles, dancing on tables, and doing the hokey-pokey. One of the highest ratings on Yelp can't be no slouch.

I went a little over-the-top with what I tried. Of course, it's for you -- not for me. All excellent. When I couldn't quite finish, a delightful gold box (from Italy, no less) wrapped it all up and made it special the next day.

It's perfect for a cup of fine coffee and a pastry or two. A bit of Italia is missing from the ambiance and the experience, but what lacks in the large space with few tables and a glow light makes up for it with amazing texture, big flavor, and quality ingredients.

Um, Mommy, when...

We visited during the heat wave, or maybe it's just summer heat!

The medium gelato cup gets you 3 flavors! It's so fun to select 3 flavors, you don't have to choose just one. The quality of the gelato and sorbetto is very high, great ingredients and the flavors are amazing.

I got the passion fruit cookie, salted caramel and strawberry rose gelato. I loved them all!

The two kids also loved their gelato. The gelato is served with a beautiful wafer cookie that is thin and crisp, and really makes the presentation wonderful.

It was a hot day, a busy day for gelato, the bathroom could have used tidying up, though it was clean.

Thank you for a great experience, our new favorite spot we will definitely...

Fantastic, Italian family-owned, pastry shop and cafe with each member specializing/mastering in a different element of cuisine creation. The manager, Josh, is very kind and takes customer service seriously. He custom made an excellent flat white for me (see pic). Awesome selection of afternoon tea cakes and sweets with a very European feel. An example of the pastry artistry is the sfogliatelle with perfect layers of flaky heaven and a heavier-than-it-looks custard filling with orange zest and a subtle fragrance reminiscent of cardomon (last pic). Exquisite cake selection. Genesis, one of the employees, was also very kind. The Moorepark location has a full-fledged restaurant with an awesome menu....
