45 Best Coffee Shops near Oak View

“Lovewell understood the assignment. This is their second location, the OG is in the Avenue, but the Oak View spot is perfectly placed for those of us trying to romanticize life on the way to work instead of just surviving it.

The space is small but full of light, and it feels cozy in a way that makes you want to linger without feeling squished. The owners are genuinely kind. I asked about “The Goodfella” specialty drink and they explained it without a hint of coffee snob energy. We love knowledgeable and approachable.

Also… they bring your drink to you while you’re waiting. I appreciate this so much. It’s such a small thing but it feels thoughtful.

There’s a solid lineup of fresh baked pastries if you need a little treat moment. And the message on the cups just makes you smile. It feels intentional in a quiet way, not performative.

Can’t wait to return. And parking is easy, which honestly seals the deal.“

“Love ❤️ les meilleurs CroiSSants de Ventura 🥰“

“Awesome little coffee cart on Ventura beach! Great location by the pier and I am OBSESSED with the cute pink cups with the Ventura pier design. Probably the cutest cup I’ve ever seen and it made my morning beach walk from my hotel down to the pier that much better!“

“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.“

“The French toast and pancakes were interesting. The French toast was made out of focaccia and the pancake was like a Dutch baby with lemon curd. The drinks are not like cocktails made fresh at the bar. They’re canned beverages so you can switch out an a spirit for another. They were underwhelming. The venue is stunning with big bay windows and outdoor seating.“

“The coffee is so good in Ojai! I loved my caramel latte and my wife got a vanilla latte — both with oat milk. Service was sharp and friendly with plenty of gratitude for our patronage. We also tried their vanilla blueberry gluten-free scone and pumpkin loaf. They were both delicious! We sat outdoor at the tile-lined tables with iron wrought chairs and parasols—perfect for children and dogs. Inside they also operated as a bookstore and you ordered at a counter. This place is new to us and we’ll be coming back in the future.“

“Coffee, scones, service are great“

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

“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 🤤“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best Bagels around hands down!👍“

“Revel kombucha Bar and açaí in Ojai has hands down the best açaí bowls I’ve ever had—no exaggeration. I come all the way from Oxnard just for them, and it’s worth every mile. The fruit is always fresh, and beautifully arranged. But what really takes it to the next level is their granola—seriously the best I’ve ever tasted. It’s crunchy, flavorful, and adds the perfect texture to the bowl.
The quality and care they put into every bowl is obvious. It’s not just a snack—it’s an experience. If you're anywhere near Ojai, you have to stop by Revel Place. Just be warned: once you try their açaí bowls, you’ll be hooked.“

“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.“

“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..“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“Wonderful coffee! The BEST in all of Ventura! Don't just take my word for it.
Best of all, service is wonderful! Was greeted with warmth, smile, and a certain caring that's missing in many of today's customer-facing establishments. A HUGE shout-out to Huntley (or Huntly?). He's such a caring person and exemplified great customer service! Thanks, Huntley!“

“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“

“friendly staff, great coffee, easy access“

“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!“

“Nice place. Good and quick service“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
