“Fantastic drinks! Great location!“

“The food is so delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant, and the people are very friendly.“

“I had a another great experience at Immigrant Son! Cortni was incredibly informative and engaging--she really listened to what I wanted and offered some great suggestions. I mentioned I was looking for something keto-friendly and protein-packed, and she recommended a side of chicken and a side of avocado. Simple, healthy, and surprisingly delicious! To top it off, I treated myself to their strawberry sourdough scone--absolutely amazing, especially paired with a good cup of coffee! Ronan, the manager, was exceptional as well. The positive energy in this place is always contagious--it's the kind of vibe that makes you want to come back. Great people, great food, great atmosphere!“

“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!“

“Love ❤️ les meilleurs CroiSSants de Ventura 🥰“

“I gotta say it's was my first time being there to experience the breakfast on the cozy patio. I order the pecan pancakes with crispy bacon and their special syrup so deelish. The beignets are magnificent. The staff super Friendly!!! I highly recommend you try this French restaurant out . Follow Your Taste Buds!!!“

“Great place! Excellent food!! Fast service! Clean and friendly atmosphere.“

“By far best Indian food and restaurant in Ventura tried almost everything on the menu food quality and service is great . They also have South Indian specialties like Satbir masala dosa , and uttapam as well.“

“This place is a hidden gem in Ventura beach! We were looking for a place to chill and get non-coffee beverages and found this juice shop. The staff was friendly and patiently explained the different flavors of the selections they have. The two we picked both tastes great! Will definitely visit again.“

“Only one word describes Seed Ranger…..WOW!!! First of all, they offer ANYTHING that conventional restaurants like Applebees, Chili’s, TGI Fridays can offer, and it’s all vegan! I have had wonderful comfort food before and I’m always happy when I can find it, but this place offers over 100 different items from breakfast to “shrimp” po boy sandwiches and it’s all made to order. The cafe is in one of the most out of the way locations off Johnson Road in Ventura, and it appears that they are the last surviving restaurant in what was once a thriving food court, so make your day and satisfy your appetite at Seed Ranger.

From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed like family. It’s a positive experience from start to finish, where good food feeds the body and the uplifting vibe fuels the mind. A heartfelt thank you to Lindsey, Olive, and the entire wonderful crew for making our day so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back! With gratitude, Tom & Lori Jean Steele“

We had Ceasar salad and the rest of the group ordered cowboy rib eye and fettuccine seafood curry. We had the desserts. Everything was delicious. It was our first time and cafe zack didn't disappoint us. We definitely comeback on December 26 for my birthday!“

“The food was really fresh and delicious.“

“Tiny speck of a neighborhood haunt with 4 or 5 tables and a scant 6 stools at a sushi bar. Service is friendly, timely and professional. Fish is as fresh as the Ocean and whatever came into Ventura or Santa Barbara in today's catch. Omakase for $60 pp and an amazing specials board with fresh eel, uni, sea bream, wahoo, scallops, amaebi, blue fin toro, and many others. Sake menu -- and Japanese beers -- complete the traditional experience.“

“Great food Just a couple suggestions: 1. Offer senior discounts please 2. Lunch specials please🙏🙏“

“Awesome place. Perfect vibe and food. The quintessential California beach experience. This was our first time and we can’t wait to return!“

“I was first introduced to Bright Spark In March at the Ventura Beer Experience. We talked with a lovely couple behind the table and tasted Day Trip, which has become my all-time favorite. We were introduced to a concept called Musical Bingo that day, and I was delighted to make my first visit to the brewery on my 55th birthday in May. Every single one of the employees there was kind, gracious, and warm. The food was absolutely amazing and the Musical Bingo is so much fun! I have since been dragging people left and right there and recommending you guys because of what a great laid back family-friendly atmosphere it is. I will be back again and again and again. and I will bring everyone I can with me! 😊🎶🤘🏼“

“Great food the Bangers and mashers were delicious!!“

“My family were hanging out at the beach in Ventura and we decided to stop here to get some lunch. I believe they were short staffed. However the person was able to quickly get to us. We placed the order and for food arrived within 10 minutes. The portions are generous and the food taste pretty decent too. The prices are reasonable, and they have some great smoothies and iced teas to choose from is APPLE parking in front and behind the restaurant. This is a family restaurant and they are plenty of tables for you to dine in or takeout. They also have a restroom for customers.“

“Dear diary, an unexpected spiritual experience took place as I broke bread. It felt zesty, but I still ordered an iced coffee drink with maple and salt. TWas divine. I ordered my breakfast croissant with sausage and turkey because mama didn’t raise no fool. I came up for air and forgot to take a picture. I’ll be back. That’s for damn sure.“

“Maggies has been our family go to for mexican food for I dont even know how many years now. Their carne asada, bean rice & cheese burrtitos are favs but corn burritos are too. Its a toss up at times lol so we sometimes get the asada burrito + corn burritos & share.
Hot sauce could make anything taste good haha because its so tasty with just the right amt of heat
Easy location & staff are always so nice. Our family loves their food so much we even used them for catering my sons rehearsal dinner😁“

“Delicious ice creams, lots of flavors, old ice cream shoppe feel.“

“Avocado ice cream is ducking amazing! And all the ice cream is amazing!“

“😊Great healthy lunches. 😀😀“

“Hands down BEST sushi in Ventura! We come here at least once a week. Highly recommend parking along the street, catching sunset on the beach, then coming here for dinner. Although everything I’ve ordered here has been excellent, my very favorites are the Avocado Bomb (the best I’ve ever had) and the Sushi House Roll. The staff are always very welcoming, friendly, and attentive.“

“I love Topa! Friendly bartenders, great locations, dog friendly, I love it“

“I absolutely love the food here! Good thinly sliced gyro meat and delicious dipping sauces to go with a fresh salad. Sometimes takes a while to get food, but very much worth the wait and always hits the spot! I recommend calling in your order.“

“The spicy cheese fries are amazing!! So are the burgers and onion rings. My new favorite burger place 😊 And the staff is wonderful.“

“Had some of their delicious yogurt on a hot day on my work break...the boss took the crew here...I would of never considered a froyo place but I'm soooo glad she took us! It was so refreshing and perfect. I have gone back on my own and the same things...Yummy! A definite craving of mine for sure! Generous amount and great unique flavors!“

“I live in Branson,MO but when I come to CA. I have to eat there as much as possible.“

“Fun place to get together with friends“

“Fun, awesome brewery! A must visit in Ventura!! We had an overnight visit to Ventura and decided to hit up Ventura Coast Brewing Co! Other breweries nearby were closed on Mondays so I was stoked Ventura Coast was open. Nice selections of delicious tasting beers, plenty of seats in and out. Various rooms and lounge areas. Very cool, laid back atmosphere and kid friendly! You can order pizzas which worked out for us and appreciate! Will be back when we visit DT Ventura again! Cheers!“

“I get back there every chance I get.“
