“We loved this place. When we arrived, it was very crowded and no dining room seating. There were two seats at the breakfast bar so we sat there and I'm glad we did. This place has some of best breakfast around, and don't forget the cinnamon roll, and house-made preserves. Parking is not very convenient as it is a very small parking lot and a very small restaurant. You may have to wait a little But I guarantee you it is worth it.“
“Cutely decorated quaint cafe. I was charging my car across the street and had to use the restroom when I discovered this place. They must have the beat banana bread I have ever had. The cream cheese spread and toasted warm bread is absolutely delicious!!“
“Old school mid century diner vibe right smack in the middle of Downtown Ventura... The food was good and the service was excellent. This particular trip I had a BBQ beef sandwich with fries (my arteries suffered but damn it tasted good) and split a shake with my wife.“
“We had the breakfast burrito and the quesadilla and they were very good with large portions. We will get 2 meals out of this order. The potatoes are nice and crispy and salted just right. We will come here again when we are in the area.Most seating is outside but they do have 7 tables inside.“
“OMG, the açaí bowl was to die for! My girls tried it for the first time and totally fell in love with it . Plus, the people there were super sweet and made us feel right at home. They even had puzzles on a table, and the kids were totally into it, having a blast. I totally recommend this spot! The prices were really reasonable, and the latte? Oh, so good! We had such a great time there. And can we talk about the beachy vibes? Perfect after a long drive. They also had these amazing paintings for sale, and the whole place had such cool decorations that totally set the mood. Definitely 5-star worthy!“
“A stellar coffee option near Midtown and Downtown Ventura. Baristas are always helpful to modify drinks with espresso or cold brew, or offer suggestions! Intimate space inside with local art, or comfortable outdoor seating option.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options for drink modifications.“
“It's been years since I've been to cafe 126 and even with it right around the corner I don't know why I've lagged on returning! One thing about cafe 126 is the portions on the breakfast are massive one meal comes on 3 plates!!!!!! For this visit it was closer to lunch so I opted for the NY steak sandwich and wow!!! It was a legit steak on a French roll with fresh veggies accompanying. The steak was the best steak I've had at a restaurant in a long time! Seasoned and cooked so perfect you didn't need to hid it with steak sauce ! It was thin enough to bite easily but meaty enough to give you that satisfied protein craving. House made kettle chips paired perfectly with the sandwich as well! The place is a family first type of place and the staff welcome you as if your family. It's quiet inside with sounds of conversations abundant a good place to start any day.“
“I ordered the Mexi Cali bowl with the egg and the margarita pizza with mozzarella cheese. Good in taste, ingredients, and presentation. Not great. One iced mocha lavender coffee and a hot chai tea latte. I asked for almond milk but they were made with oat milk. It was good though. I really liked the pastries. Nutter Butter cookie(which was recommended) and vanilla donut were outstanding. There are a lot of options on the menu. And the employees are wonderful. Lots of vegetarian and gluten free choices. I think it's definitely worth a try.“
“Lake Casitas Marina Cafe in Ojai is a hidden gem that combines scenic beauty with a delightful dining experience. The café's lakeside location offers breathtaking views, creating a serene backdrop for a relaxing meal.One standout feature is the complimentary two-hour entry into Lake Casitas Recreation State Park when you request access to the cafe at the entry gate. This not only adds value to your visit but also allows you to enjoy the natural beauty of the park before or after your cafe experience.The Marina Cafe itself is a charming spot, offering a diverse menu that caters to various tastes. From breakfast delights to hearty lunches, the culinary offerings are both flavorful and satisfying. The attentive staff enhances the overall dining experience, ensuring that customers feel welcomed and well taken care of.It's important to note that the Marina Cafe closes at 2:00 PM, making it an ideal spot for breakfast or an early lunch. This limited timeframe, however, doesn't detract from the overall positive experience.In essence, Lake Casitas Marina Cafe stands as a destination where culinary delights meet nature's tranquility. Whether you're a local looking for a scenic breakfast spot or a visitor exploring Ojai, the combination of a complimentary park entry and a delightful cafe makes this a must-visit. Highly recommended for those seeking a serene lakeside dining experience.“
“This place is under new ownership and Silvia and Ken have so many great ideas for this place. I went there for breakfast today and had the Eggs Benedict. The sauce was so good. I'm very picky about my hollandaise sauce. They plan to start opening for dinner. Can't wait to try the dinner menu! I will definitely be a regular for breakfast And the staff is so sweet and on it!“
“I had the Mondo breakfast burrito. It was delicious. Plenty of bacon. This was a vast improvement from the last time I had eaten here under the previous ownership. I have been coming to their campsite for a long time and was disappointed when I last ate here but was impressed to see that the new owners have given the eating area a facelift and are much more personable. Highly recommended.Had the Emma Wood breakfast burrito on day 2. Photo attached. Plenty of meat. Tasted great and a large portion. We be back.“
“Butter and Fold is FABULOUS. The team is welcoming, friendly and committed to the highest quality of food and drinks. I regularly enjoy croissants from Izola, in the east village of San Diego and voted the best croissant in 2022 by yelp AND B&F comes close to the same buttery interior and flaky exterior that makes a perfect croissant. Simply excellent croissants! I love them so much I haven’t tried their other pastries yet. As an espresso *snob* I appreciate that they always give great care to a perfectly calibrated shot. They are adventurous with the beans they use and it’s a delightful experience to try different roasters through B&F. The beautiful interior is relaxing and comfortable. GREAT JOB B&F!“
“Located in Ventura off Mills, Café Ficelle is a delightful French-inspired bakery that promises a treat for the senses. From freshly made French pastries to decadent brunch options and a variety of fresh brew coffees and teas, this place has it all.I recently stopped by for a quick drink after a morning walk, and I was impressed by the cleanliness and brightness of the café. With ample seating, both indoors and outdoors, it's a perfect spot to relax, catch up on work, or enjoy coffee with friends. Ordering is easy at the counter, and the staff efficiently calls out names when orders are ready.The display of fresh-baked goods is tempting, with English muffins, croissants, and an array of other treats stealing the spotlight. They even offer loaves of bread and cakes for special orders. I opted for an iced chai tea with vanilla and soy milk, which was absolutely perfect.The staff were friendly and efficient, and the prices were reasonable. I'll definitely be recommending Café Ficelle to friends and returning in the future for more delightful experiences.“
“When I went it was during a very busy time and there was only two people running the shop. But I have to say the food hair was pretty terrific. If you're looking for a reasonably priced flavor packed meal, I would stop here. I don't think you could really go wrong with any of the meals here to be honest. Chutney was flavorful, the Masala Dolsa was crispy but with some fluff and packed with onions (which was a lovely surprise) and it honestly made me regret not ordering two plates.“
