7 Best Cafes near Ojai

“Stupendous!!!!! Amazing! I cannot put into words how wonderful our meal was. Thank for the pleasure of experiencing your talent. Bravo!“

“Came here for dessert, specifically the matcha affogato. It was pretty good but the volume of ice cream and matcha you get isnt proportional to what you pay. The matcha had a good flavor but definitely not worth it for what you get.

Its centrally located on the downtown strip. You can check out the museum, park, Bart's bookstore and a lot of the restaurants and bars from here. We parked at the parking area across the Dutchess and stopped by here a few times while we walked around. The second time we used the restroom and I l tried the hojicha latte. That was pretty tasty well worth it for the price. Would definitely give it a shot for those that have never tried a matcha affogato.“

“Classic Ojai summer evenings with exceptional music!“

“I always love a stay at the Ojai Valley Inn!! I usually come with my husband and kids. When we visit we love the kids pool, kids club, tennis courts, bike rental and driving range. Along with the fabulous restaurants where we can see them running around while we eat. All the rooms we’ve stayed in have always been large and amazing. This trip I brought my mom and sister for their birthdays. I booked it through American Express Fine Hotels. This gave us $70 towards breakfast everyday, $100 hotel credit, chocolates in the room, 4PM checkout and a room upgrade if available. When we arrived they said they were fully booked and could not offer a room upgrade. I have always been it great rooms and expected the basic room to be the same. Unfortunately it wasn’t. It was small, had a small balcony with only 2 chairs- there were three of us, and a view of dirt. I’m not one to complain but we were there to celebrate my mom’s and sister’s birthday so I asked if we could be moved to a room that could at least have room for all 3 of us in the balcony. They were able to find a room in Shangrila and it was great. Beautiful views of the surrounding hills and a huge balcony with loungers and a table with 4 chairs. Thank you to the manager that switched our room!!! We enjoyed all the amenities at the Inn. Delicious food at the Oak and great with gluten allergy. - the night hostess and front manager were rude but everything else wonderful. We used the fitness area and attended yoga and water Pilates which we loved. We went to the artist cottage and made succulents. Really enjoyed the artist cottage happy hour with a glass of wine and potpourri. Adult pool was super relaxing and service there was excellent. As with every time I leave there I can’t wait to go back. It is an amazing resort with excellent service.“

“a very intimate and expensive cafe, its main advantage is its location and views. the coffee is delicious, the ice cream had pieces of ice (apparently it was defrosted and frozen more than once), the strawberry and lemonade soufflé cake was tender and fresh.“

“I’ve been going to Bonnie Lu’s as long as I can remember and they make the best grits and crispy bacon for me. Everyone is always really friendly and it just makes you want to come back.“

“Spendy, but isn’t everything these days? Favorites are the breakfast burritos (huge!) and the chicken fried steak. Beautiful view, friendly staff. Linger a little in the parking lot and soon you will see the Great Blue Heron and white heron activity in the eucalyptus grove across the way. That’s worth a few of those dollars right there - what a treat!“
