“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.“

“In an area where there aren’t many vegan restaurants to begin with, it’s great to have one with so many options! It was tough to choose from all their savoury offerings. The fry bread had a nice texture and good toppings. The nachos were a big portion and came with a nice guacamole. Their own dessert, a chocolate cheesecake, was a bit disappointing though. But they do have Jokerz/Mahalo/etc if you want something for your sweet tooth. Updated from previous review on 2026-10-11“

“Dan closed the brewery down for the Ventura County Sportfishing Club holiday party event. 60-70 members/guests attended. The staff handled the party with aplomb and assured everyone enjoyed the evening. This is some of the best craft beer you can find. The food was amazing and plentiful especially the short ribs. I would encourage a visit for some great beers. And if you are having an event, I would strongly suggest working with these folks. These are some of the nicest people you will find at any establishment in Ventura. I will be a regular.“

“Great iced California latte where you can really taste the espresso and tiramisu vegan power bowl with a lot of other vegan, gluten free baked options! Caring, family owned, small biz.

“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.“

“It was our first time. Me and my husband ordered Salmon roll, Eel Roll, Scallop Roll and miso soup. It was the freshest salmon eel and scallop we have ever had! The rolls are 4 pcs but they are HUGE and packed with seafood so it was worth it! The miso is the best miso we’ve ever had as well!“

“I ordered a classic breakfast platter alongside an iced specialty coffee, and everything came out fast, hot, and delicious. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the hash browns were nice and crispy, and the coffee was smooth without being bitter. The server was super attentive and made sure our coffee cups stayed full the whole time. If you're looking for an easygoing, comforting spot for breakfast or lunch in Ventura, The Copper Coffee Pot Cafe is definitely worth stopping into!“

“When Ventura first opened up my wife and I ordered meals to go unfortunately things were a little shaky at the time and the meals were short certain items and some things were correct. After calling Ventura and talking to the manager they agreed that next time we come in the meals would be on them. Well as time goes along some things get lost and today the wife found the receipt and called up the restaurant and talk to the manager his name is Nicholas. Well he did a great job he not only provided the meals for us but he was Very very cordial about it and thoroughly understanding he did a great job he made a lifetime customer with my wife and I and I appreciate his hard work and the good food that comes out of this restaurant thank you“

“Great food great staff great all around fun place“

“Great brews , food , and music“

“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! 😊🎶🤘🏼“

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

“Chose this spot randomly after a run with a few friends and the employees were very kind, helpful and patient. After ordering they received a rush but still did their best and provided excellent service. The sandwiches we ordered were amazing my eyes were closed the whole time like that scene in ratatouille where he experiments different flavors. Certainly worth the wait and worth trying, this food genuinely made my day and put a huge smile on my face !“

“Nice place, open and safe environment. tasty beer. wanted to buy a t-shirt but unfortunately they didn't have one in my size.“

“Emma was approachable, friendly and very knowledgeable. She guided us through the menu with insight only a veteran could provide. She was attentive to our group and gave great recommendations that we all enjoyed. The beer stood out here because it didn’t feel cookie cutter. It didn’t feel like an average brewery that had the same old varieties and we gravitated towards the Milk Punch, Guavamente and Neighborhood. Definitely looking forward to many more visits here!“

“Hands-down, the greatest pepperoni pizza you can ever have. Full bar, great beer selection, great outdoor seating, what else can you ask for?“

“Fantastic food! Hummus is some of the best I’ve ever had. Love to get the combo plates and try all the delicious options. What a fantastic restaurant to have in midtown, consistent and great quality, for years and years and counting!“

“It is a very nice shop with a simple layout and spacious setup for people to sit and enjoy their drink. I wanted to try their nitro cold brew but the nitro system wasn't working, so I tried their cold brew which had good flavor. They also had a variety of other drink options including seasonal specials.

The service was also quick and they were able to adequately answer my specific questions about their various bags of coffee for sale.“
