Sombra Coffee Lounge in Camarillo opens door to unique drinks

Carlos and Aroosa Santoyo took their experience from a pop-up business and added their own personalities to open Camarillo's newest coffee shop. The husband and wife have partnered with their friend Luis Mejia to open Sombra Coffee Lounge at 300 N. Lantana St., Suite 37 to continue serving the Camarillo community. The business hosted a ribbon cutting Sept. 26. The couple had already built up a following with Flour Power, a pop-up business inside Village Cafe in Camarillo, while in between jobs. So when they opened Sombra, the Camarillo and Ventura County community showed up with lines down the street and sold out of their stock on the first weekend, the owners said. "We can't not be in Camarillo," Aroosa Santoyo said. "Those are the people that gave us this business in the first place." The coffee house's name, Sombra, translates to shade in Spanish, which reflects the dark and moody vibe the three were going for. The shop matches the name with the front windows covered in reflective tinting to darken the shop, dim lighting and brown leather benches lining the wall of the seating area, reminiscent of coffee lounges found in Aroosa Santoyo's hometown of Manchester, England.

‘No estás solo’: Community members carry 1,300 butterflies on an 8-mile march

A single monarch butterfly rarely completes its entire migration cycle on its own. However, through generations of collective strength, thousands of them manage to migrate north 3,000 miles twice a year. On Oct. 25, this imagery was painted onto signs and pinned to jackets and became a rallying symbol for a small group making an eight-mile march from Oxnard to Ventura in protest of local law enforcement cooperation with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Secret Bao Is Working on Sushi Pop-Ups and More

••• I was invited to test a few of Bettina‘s anniversary specials (available from today, October 28, through November 1), including the New York–style thin and crispy pizza—a holdover from last year and recommended, particularly with pepperoni—and a tiramisu that gives Manifattura’s a run for its money. But the standout was a stellar eggplant lasagna, with homemade pasta, that I’d love to see return for a longer run.
