“Excellent latte. Lovely little place off the beaten path“

“Love ❤️ les meilleurs CroiSSants de Ventura 🥰“

“Great coffee and amazing location“

“The staff was very friendly and helpful. I think I'm the only person who didn't like my meal. It just wasn't hearty enough for me, the eggs seemed small. I should have ordered the burrito.
My aunt loved her maitake toast. My niece liked her cheeseburger but got too full on her hot chocolate to finish it, lol. The hot chocolate was good, but there was a $5 for oatmilk! Unless I misread the receipt... if so I'll come back to edit this.
My friend enjoyed her burrito and I was very jealous how good it looked. I got the chilaquiles and was just not a fan. The guacamole didn't taste like avocado at all, so I didn't eat it. I did finish the rest of my meal only because I was so hungry.
I also ordered the pancake for the table and was expecting a much bigger pancake for $15. It was good with the lemon cream but I have had better pancakes.
The only other issue was the amount of flies in the restaurant. They were all over the windows and all over us. It was annoying. I hope they're able to take care of the issue.“

“I simply love Coffee Connection, great service, great vibe, and most importantly, great coffee! They use Centri coffee for their coffee shots which I find to be tasty and complex in taste. I would recommend this place to both locals and tourists.“

“I love this place so much. Employees are all so kind and friendly. I truly think they have the best iced vanilla latte in town - I’ve tried them all! But I just have to say, the chef Louis makes the best bacon of all time. It’s perfect. 10/10 no notes. They also have a kids play area and a great selection of books to purchase. And easy parking in 2 lots. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in Ojai!“

“Coffee, scones, service are great“

“Best açaí bowl, hands down, especially their butter bowl! Excellent coffee and matcha 😋 🍵“

“Owner Irma & niece Mia treated us like close friends the first time we walked in. Irma's son was busy making fresh bagels and filling TO-GOs and Door-Dash pickups.

The bagels seem to be based on the classic egg bagel with the options making a choice VERY difficult.

Topping have the same issue as the bagels, MANY to pick from and there are popular combos all set up.

Great coffee, great prices, great service with warm smiles.

Next trip to Ventira I plan on arriving early so I can ge a brunch meal here.“

“Excellent Havana cappuccino and customer service, Peet’s never disappoints!!!“

“Serious frenzies of all sorts go down here. They also go up. Straight up. Like a stock of corn. Buttered corn. Buttered just to your liking. And primed for your licking 👅. Whats that? More butter? No problem. The butter here cascades from the ceiling like an elegant golden shower. Open wide. God’s ancient warrior serum will cure all ailments. Yum 🤤“

“Roasters is my go to place to work from in Ojai. The atmosphere is so cozy, the owner and baristas so incredibly welcoming to all, the lattes and food delicious! It’s a special place to me .. my late husband actually became friends with Stacey first, he was from Tanzania and they bonded over coffee growing and roasting that he was interested in from his native country. Because of their friendship, he would often bring me gifts (mugs, pastries..) from her and it became our go to place for a coffee date. He would always buy the coffee cake which he might have HALF a bite of but he knew I would eat it all if he got it but that I wouldn’t l order it myself :) I have many happy memories here with him, and since he passed I am creating more. It’s such a safe and cozy place to read or work or chat with other patrons. Love this place!“

“These folks seriously make the best chai latte I’ve ever had in my life. No sugar-loaded mixes, but rather a strong, spicy chai tea brewed in-house. And their baked goods are delectable, even featuring a selection of gluten free and vegan delights. Their customer service is stellar, too. Singing Sun is in a convenient midtown location - at the corner of Main St and Santa Cruz - and is not to be missed. But please leave me a vegan scone.“

“Shout out to Maggie helping out on a last minute coffee order for Eater Sunday at our church! Maggie and her team always come through for everyone. We appreciate their love and support. Thank you!“

“Best Bagels around hands down!👍“

“Second visit to Butter & Fold. Delicious French pastries.“

“5 star for Dan he is the best.. employee like him make you come back… he so kind and helpful..
Thank you Dam for you service..
Please give a him a promotion he deserves
I saw he was kind with big smile with everyone..“

“This place is all natural. I stumbled on this cute shop via instagram. The vibe makes you feel like you traveled to the caribbean and left california temporarily. There was a lady trying out samples of the juices while i was there and she couldnt stop talking about how good the santa rosa juice was. I highly recommend getting the dirty monkey smoothies. They offer acai bowls, juices, smoothies and cleanse programs. The employees are very sweet and kind. Free small parking lot. Reasonable prices. Dont forget to sign up for their reward programs as well.“

“One Black Espresso is my go-to. I always receive my order within a few days of ordering. Love the subscription service 😊“

“A must-visit for foodies! (5/5 Green Stars) I really liked the kombucha flight experience here. The place was relaxing haven on a rainy day, with friendly staff, board games to try and magazines to read. The Pink Moment was a favorite – it’s made from green tea, raw honey, ginger, hibiscus, orange zest and the jun culture. Technically, the culture is known as “jun” rather than a kombucha “SCOBY”. Kombucha is usually made by fermenting black tea and refined sugar while jun is made from green tea and raw honey. I learned something new today – two things, actaully! The other is that SCOBY stands for “symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast.” Anyway, even without strong flavors added (for example, the Om, which had just a little blackberry and lavender) Revel’s kombucha (jun!) tastes amazing. Perhaps even more enjoyable was the vegan charcuterie plate – vegan cheese and salami with crackers, olives and apricots. The vegan cheese was from Conscious Cultures in NY and the salami was from Renegade Foods. Honesty, I’ve never had better vegan cheese, and I’ve tried quite a few. There were two pretty sizeable chunks of cheese, in the styles of brie and blue, and each did really taste like the dairy equivalent. Another microbiology side-note: both brie and blue cheeses get a lot of their flavor from the Penicillium fungi that they are inoculated with, rather than the milk itself. So congrats to Conscious Cultures for figuring that out, and thanks to Revel for introducing them to me! I hope that charcuterie plate is still available as I don’t see it on the current webpage. I’m giving Revel Kombucha 5/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, for these reasons: • The kombucha is made from organic green tea and organic honey and various additions such as organic ginger, blackberry, orange zest, etc., depending on the flavor. • Besides being almost always organic, many ingredients are local too – like the oranges, of course! • The food on offer was great – the vegan charcuterie board introduced us to new products like amazing brie and blue cheeses from Conscious Cultures. • I appreciate that they let me purchase a liter of kombucha by refilling my Sigg flask. They also provide re-useable glass bottles for buying kombucha to-go.“

“friendly staff, great coffee, easy access“

“The best coffee shop in the ojai valley! The drinks always come out amazing and are so consistent. Never do I receive a drink that’s mostly ice or too milky. The staff are very friendly and efficient. The wait time for drinks is impressively low, they are so speedy! I appreciate the punch card to earn a free drink, and I love the selection of cards and merchandise.“

“Excellent service from the young men who were there working. They were very friendly and my drink was perfect“

“Compliments to Gayla, the mixers and roasters at Moore Coffee. I thought the Classic Espresso was the best. Surprisingly I find the 805 with an even more complex and rich flavor. My espresso machine labors thru the finely ground mixture and takes an eternal 30-40 seconds producing a thick crema that is almost half the shot. Good work guys!I've never been to the brick and tin but I suspect great service and atmosphere. What could be bad about the aroma of fresh roasted coffee.Fabulous!Urban Cowgill April 2024“

“I decided to try a different coffee shop. I love a good medium roast that’s not too strong, I got the house blend. Coffee was amazing! I added two pumps of hazelnut syrup to my drip house coffee and I can’t get enough of it. The cherry on top was the staff, the young adults working were all awake, happy, go lucky vibes. Very friendly, well mannered, I’m so impressed.“

“My favorite place ❤️I can’t go a day without my coffee“

“A nice place to chill on a Saturday afternoon at Main St in downtown“

“Would give this place 10 stars if I could. Everything about this place is perfect! Starting with the friendly staff, and the flavorful food that just hits the right spot. Seldom outside of India would you find a casual, unassuming and surprisingly authentic tapas/cafe style Indian snacks. We are so glad we made a pitstop here on our way from Santa Barbara to universal studios, we were drawn here due to its unique name (kaapi means coffee in Tamil, specifically, their filter coffee) and the super interesting menu items. We would have ordered everything if we could have (we almost did). The cashew paneer dosa was just heavenly, just the right amount of crisp and the creamy yet aromatically spicy paneer is hard to find! The chef has perfected his recipes to the T. the chicken and waffles was a surprisingly authentic twist on the traditional fried chicken, I was so excited to find something like this outside of the south, and was mouthwateringly yummy. The chana puri was even better than the ones I find at South Indian joints - hands down one of the top three places for Indian inspired food in the country (living in the states for over a decade). Wish them all the best on their culinary journey, a true true gem indeed!“

“I work nights in Ventura Russell's 🍩 saved my life sooooo many times with that Breakfast sandwich Mmmmmm.“

“Must try outstanding pastries“

“1. Employees are friendly. 2. Chocolate croissants have barely a thin layer of chocolate. I was disappointed!!! Resembled a plain croissant. actually the chocolate was in one corner only of the croissant. 3. Good lattes.“

“Had a great breakfast at Eggs N Things! The food was excellent and the service was friendly and quick. I ordered the chicken-fried steak and it came with scrambled eggs on the side and crispy hash browns!

They also brought out one of their complimentary crepes, which was a nice surprise. And their mimosa was amazing, refreshing and the perfect drink with breakfast.

My girlfriend loved her meal as well and we both had a really great experience. The atmosphere felt welcoming and classic diner style. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!“

“Not only was the food delicious but it was visually appealing as well!“

“Great fast lines & nice cashiers“

“They are the best. Very light and delicious. The ownerd are great. friendly and will give you tge best offer. I have bought the 12 jam donuts once since i usually end with the better bigger box for all.Have even turned my detist into a customer. They will be at the Fair this.“

“The Staff were amazing. They made my drink perfectly and were so sweet and polite. They held a conversation with me while I was waiting and ensured that I liked my drink after they had given it to me. Thank you for the amazing service. I appreciate it and you.“

“As soon as I walked into the beautiful shop the delightful smell of chocolate hit me. These handmade chocolates are like pieces of art. Not only are they gorgeous, they are delicious! The unique flavors change with the seasons. A box of Ex Votos are the perfect treat or a gift.“

“We tried the Vietnamese boba drink and it was creamy, foamy, and had the perfect amount of sweetness. The place is very clean and they have a wide selection of toppings including a heart shaped boba that is strawberry flavored. There is ample parking, and ample sitting. The staff was really friendly. The wait time was very short despite being a bit busy. I can't wait to try the other drinks and their waffles.“

“Nice place. Good and quick service“

“Wow Hit me with your Best shot I haven't had Starbucks in almost 2 months I had just a regular coffee with extra creamy milk and one little thing of sugar and man that cleaned me out and jumped me and I had to go do a deposition and I was like jumping up and down and wiggling and I couldn't even hold still yeah it was good coffee“

“Ordered two large pre-cut cakes - chocolate w strawberries and carrot - both phenomenal - everyone loved them and the pre-cut so worth it! They were ready on time and staff helped carry them out. They were also so helpful in helping me decide sizes. This is my go to bakery! Thank you!!“

“Ohhhhmygod. Heaven on earth!

I’ll start with the coffee. I tried pistachio milk for the first time here, and all I can say is that I pray it won’t be the last.

Often, a Cortado is made with too much milk for the 1:1 ratio it technically requires (and yes I can feel my repulsive coffee snobbery just jumping off the page here too…)

But Rory’s Other Place smashed my Cortado with pistachio milk outta the park. I was “yum”ing with every sip!

Then there’s the pastries. My boyfriend adored the cookies. I got the vegan gluten free sandwich which was a flavour explosion (you might not believe it what with the whole GF / VE thing, but trust me — I was on cloud 9!)

Lastly, the outdoor patio is warm, cozy and buzzy. We loved our stop here!“
