Newbury Park's Nearest Great Cafe Is in Moorpark
When you're looking for a genuinely good cafe near Newbury Park, the honest truth is that the best spot might be a short drive up the road in Moorpark. CJ's Urban Cafe sits right on New Los Angeles Ave, an easy trip from Newbury Park and the rest of the Conejo Valley, and it's the kind of place worth the few extra minutes.
Plenty of Newbury Park regulars have already figured this out. A quick hop over to Moorpark gets you fresh-made paninis, real espresso drinks, and a patio to sit on — without the fuss or the crowds of the bigger chains closer to home. Here's why it's worth pointing your car toward CJ's.
Close Enough to Be Your Regular Spot
Newbury Park sits right in the Conejo Valley, and Moorpark is an easy connection across Ventura County. For a weekend breakfast, a workday lunch, or an afternoon coffee, CJ's is close enough to become a habit rather than a special occasion. We're open every single day from 8AM to 7:30PM, so the trip fits whenever your schedule allows.
What Makes the Drive Worth It
A menu that covers the whole day
CJ's isn't a one-trick spot. Come in the morning for a bacon and egg bagel or a breakfast wrap. Roll through at lunch for a Napa Chicken panini, a Cobb salad, or a flatbread pizza. Need an afternoon pick-me-up? Grab an iced latte or a fruit smoothie. One cafe, the whole day handled.
Real espresso and cold drinks
We pour lattes, mochas, americanos, and cappuccinos, all available iced for those warm Conejo Valley afternoons. Not in a coffee mood? There's iced tea, lemonade, and seven flavors of yogurt smoothie, including Island, Strawberry Tweet, and Blueberry Pie.
The Patio Is Part of the Appeal
CJ's has outdoor patio seating, which turns a quick coffee run into an actual break. Bring a laptop, meet a friend from Thousand Oaks, or just sit for twenty minutes with a sandwich and watch Moorpark go by. It's the kind of low-key spot that's getting harder to find.
