Meet The Owners: Their Story
Tifa has always been part of John and Lynn Sandoval’s love story.
Years ago, when they were still dating, Lynn was a true foodie with a soft spot for culinary adventures. At the time, she was hesitant about moving to the suburbs—back then, Agoura didn’t offer much in the way of gourmet delights. But John, ever thoughtful and knowing Lynn’s heart, had an idea. He took her to a chocolate tasting at a small but special spot in Agoura Hills: the original Tifa.
