Reviews for Little Calf Creamery and Cafe in Thousand Oaks, CA
Little Calf is our go to spot! There are so many great options for lunch or dinner and the portions are perfect. They have a... great kids menu too. We love the house made chips and I like dipping them in their buffalo sauce. If you have enough room aftereating to try the ice cream, it is really yummy with lots of flavor options. Read more
Super busy when I went (Fri 3:30 pm)with LOTS of noisy children. Their payment system broke down, so we had to wait 15 min for... that to work again. My main complaint is that what I ordered (their homemade potato chips) were ready immediately, which reallymeant they had been sitting there for a while. The chips were cold and greasy and lacked taste. I suspect their ice creamofferings are likely better than what I got, but I may not return to find out. Read more
Fair Ice Cream previously, Bland Food, Terrible service.-- Went here for dinner with my two girls and ordered A sandwich that... said it came on toasted French bread. I was surprised to notice that it was on the exact same bread as my kids grilled cheesesandwich; I asked a server about it. The server did not come back and eventually i was told had gone on a break. Eventuallyand unfortunately I came in contact with "Zach the manager " Who told me that my sandwich was in fact French bread. I asked himif it then was possible to get a kids grilled cheese sandwich NOT on French bread. Zach became quite flustered at this. Thiswas my first time eating food here and I was disappointed no it's just because of the possibly bad labeling but bc was cold andbland. So I was going to order ice cream for two little kids (standing right behind me giggling) At this point Zach tells methat they will "not serve us ice cream". I initially assumed that they were going to comp us our ice cream but to my disbelief"Zach the manager" (or "Mad Zach" as my kids called him when we left without our ice cream) seriously told us that they wouldnot serve us ice cream because I was "harassing the staff". ???? Me and my kids. I had only interacted with other staff toask for an additional plate, which I had to go back and ask for later has the promised play to never arrived -- I made nocomment of that. Perhaps Zach's game was so thrown off by me pointing out that the same bread was on the kids grilled cheesesandwich as on my "toasted French bread " that he believed that I was harassing staff (this with my giggling kids next to me)! Wow. It takes a manager with a lot of cajones to tell her dad and two little girls that they will not be served ice cream. Heseemed quite confident that his owner, Scott, would stand behind him. I live close by, will not go back. We went to good oldBaskin-Robbins and had amazing ice cream! Two stars instead of one because the staff was dres Read more
I?ve been here a lot of times but never realized they had food. The bacon cheeseburger was cooked well but the roll was a little... dry. The grilled cheese was pretty good as well. They also offer a wide variety of Stubbourn sodas which is great. Their icecreams are good but not breathtaking. The shakes are thick, and the scoops were on the softer side. Almost felt like I waseating pre-made ice cream soup. Didn?t hate it though. Staff is friendly and attentive. Little Calf Creamery has a sisterlocation in Westlake on TO Blvd and Westlake Blvd next to Habit. Read more
Have only tried this place once and it is already one of my favorite ice cream spots in California. Tried a slice of the mud pie... as well as a scoop of the melon sorbet (non dairy). Best mud pie I?ve ever had and the creamy texture of the nondairy melon isunbeatable. Highly recommend. Read more
The ice cream is extremely good, very tasty and creamy and there is a great selection of flavors. I had salted caramel cream and... it was good. The creaminess factor is better than anything store bought, even the expensive stuff. Didn't try any other foodthere. Only downside was portioning: my friend and I both ordered single scoops in cones, and his scoop was nearly half of mine.Not a super big deal, but kinda annoying when you've just paid $4.75 for a scoop. No biggie though, things happen. Read more
Good value for the double scoop menu item to actual double scoop received. Pic does not do it justice to how much was given.... Definitely a lot more than expected. Flavors were lavender blueberry and roast coffee. Subtle blueberry taste at the end. Strongcoffee flavor. Read more
