Sandrine and Ludovic Gaudin found Chocolatine while visiting the Thousand Oaks area on vacation and fell in love with the charming café, so much so that they decided to start an adventure and take over ownership. In 2014, they left their life in France behind and never looked back!
Since then, they’ve put their indelible stamp on Chocolatine, bringing a warm and welcoming slice of France to the heart of Thousand Oaks, and becoming a beloved fixture on the Thousand Oaks Blvd. strip. Chef Ludovic spends his days in the kitchen whipping up fluffy quiches, buttery croissants, colorful macaroons, and delectable chocolates, while Sandrine manages the café, charming every customer with devilishly strong coffee, a radiant smile, and a wry sense of humor.
