Carrara's Pastries Cafe - Agoura Hills

The pastries are delicious, the staff is always very friendly, and there are several tables where you can sit and enjoy the experience.

I apologize to Californians, but I must disagree with the many who rave about this bakery. The cannoli here are filled with a ricotta-like filling, but it tasted more like cream cheese. As for the rum babas, they should be packed with rum flavor, but these had a sweet cream filling reminiscent of a donut. I've tried their pastries multiple times, and I find they don't capture the authentic flavors or textures of Italian pastries that you typically find in East Coast Italian bakeries. While the presentation is beautiful and the prices are high, if you're looking for genuine Italian tradition, this isn't the place to go. I can't comment on their cakes, although they seem to receive a lot of praise.

The cakes here are delightful! They're incredibly light and perfect for enjoying a relaxing time with a friend over a latte and a pastry.

What a fantastic pastry shop! This is my second time visiting, and I made the trip from out of state. The desserts are consistently incredible. The staff is wonderful and obviously passionate about what they do.

The pastries were wonderful! My favorite was the lemon cake.
