“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!“

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

“Coffee, scones, service are great“

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

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

“If you’re going to Bagelicious Café, do yourself a favor and get the Crazy Turkey on the 5-Cheese Everything Bagel. It’s honestly a gourmet experience. The ingredients are top notch and the bagel itself was fresh and warm when I got it 10/10, definitely coming back for this one.“

“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!“

“I always drive past this coffee shop and never stop, but I finally had time and decided to stop in and was pleasantly surprised. I love how prospect positions itself as a coffee shop for the people and for the community. The coffee is great the staff is nice and the space is great for meeting up with friends or working solo.
We got a vanilla latte, vanilla matcha and the espresso tonic which was surprisingly mild.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best Bagels around hands down!👍“

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

“Great little coffee place just behind the main street in Ojai. Coffee is fantastic. Nice bold strong taste. And they also have all kinds of non-dairy organic options for milk.

Would definitely recommend if you are looking for a quieter place to grab a delicious cup of coffee.“

“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!“

“I got a juice from here at the farmers market it was a large blue drink. That was Sunday it’s now Wednesday night, I can’t stop thinking about it. It was so good and made me feel healthy too , I drank it all that day. Only reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars is bc it’s really expensive . They told me the large was 15, then they said with tax that’s 17.50$ . This is the first time I’ve paid tax at the farmers market anything else is a solid price, corn is 5.00 flat, nuts are 5$ flat, huge agua Fresca is 10$ flat you get where I’m going with this. It’s delicious however paying 17$ for a drink did hurt. I mean that’s the price of a meal these days. Drink flavor taste etc 5/5 price 2/5.“

“friendly staff, great coffee, easy access“

“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“

“Must try outstanding pastries“

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

“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.“

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

“I stepped a little outside my usual food rotation and ended up at Kaapicat Cafe in downtown Ventura—and I’m glad I did.

I went with the paneer dosa, and honestly, it felt like having dessert for lunch in the best way possible. Warm, flavorful, spicy, and just one of those meals that hits right away.

I showed up about 20 minutes before closing (at 1:40pm on a Thursday), so things were already winding down. The outdoor seating had been put away, but I was still able to grab my food and sit over at the tables next door at Moby’s on Main, which worked out just fine.

It feels like one of those places that would be great to hang out if you catch it earlier. There’s a bit of an artistic vibe in the decor and the way it’s set up. The interior has those classic old red bricks that are part of the downtown Ventura scene, and I appreciate that they didn’t cover them up with some other type of wall finish.

They’re displaying artwork from a local artist, which I always appreciate as I’m a local artist myself. It adds to that relaxed, creative, vibrant downtown feel that I enjoy in spots like this. I’m always happy when a place supports the local art scene.“

“Great fast lines & nice cashiers“

“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.“

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

“I had jury duty at the Ventura courthouse and when I was through, I was starving so I decided to go to eggs and things I ordered the chorizo, scrambled eggs, and English muffin with strawberry raspberry preserves and then of course you get the Swedish pancake, which is exactly why I’m so obsessed with this place. The service was spectacular. I got iced tea to drink. I never waited for anything. Everything was always there. The owner of the of the restaurant was so nice. Make sure everything was good. I can’t wait to go back. I’ll actually make a special trip to go to that exit and things particularly cause the service was so great and the honor was so nice.“

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

“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.“

“Delicious chewy boba! I had ordered the jasmine milk tea with sugar boba and pudding. It is my go-to at every boba shop I go to. I ordered it with 25% sweetness. It was perfect!!! Not too sweet but enough
For a light dessert drink. I love working in different coffee and tea shops and there are plenty of seating here. They also have free WiFi available.“

“Nice place. Good and quick service“

“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!!“

“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“
