    On a day trip to Ventura Oxnard our first off is going to be for breakfast. We found BJ's Café easily. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a beautiful day in Oxnard, so we sat outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the two eggs and hashbrowns with toast over easy. Service is friendly, the food was good, and with it being a nice day sitting outside was perfect. If you're looking for breakfast in Oxnard, give this place a try.

    A hidden gem! In the heart of old town/downtown Oxnard, parking is a little challenging on the street but there might be more in back? This is an incredible breakfast spot! But their menu is huge! And not just breakfast! My husband stumbled upon BG's a few weeks ago and just loved it! So... with great pride he took me here for breakfast and it was so good! The service was great, we were offered drinks right away (sadly they were out of orange juice) and after our drinks were brought out we sat for quite a while before anyone came to take our order. My husband had to actually make a point to say "we're ready". Honestly throughout our meal our server was very friendly and attentive. My reason for 4 stars and not 5 wasn't because of that but rather what they charged us for our 12 oz iced teas at $4 each. Way overpriced! BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse only charges $2.79. I also think $6 for a side of 2 fried eggs is a bit over the top. Just saying... I absolutely plan to come back and definitely recommend giving them a try!

    In Oxnard, CA driving up HWY 1 on a road trip. Stopped at BG's cafe for breakfadt and so glad we did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is warm and friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is fast friendly and professional. The food is fresh hot and tasty. I got the chorizo hash and eggs. It came with beans and choice of toast, English muffin ,biscuit, or tortillas. They also have award winning salsas. The verde salsa was my favorite. The French toast is made with thick French toast bread (not the thin stuff) It says it's dipped in orange vanilla batter but I didn't taste orange or vanilla. It came with bacon or sausage and 2 eggs. We chose sausage links which were plump and juicy. Overall a very nice experience.

    Veggie Omelette
    Beckie B.

    My husband and I love this place and have been going there for breakfast for years. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has the old diner kind of feelings and the staff has remained the same for year too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is consistently delicious. The owner, Jose, takes pride in helping the staff and also welcoming his customers, so we feel like family going there. Angie, our waitress, has our breakfast ordered memorized, and even now that we moved away and only go there when we are in town, still remembers. I always have the egg white veggie omelette, with sautéed spinach, onions, mushrooms and fresh jalapeños, perfectly seasoned. Inhaven't found a better omelette since we moved. We highly recommend going in and try it for yourselves.

    Classic eggs and bacon with a side of Avocado and Diner coffee!!

    I can't believe that in all the time I've been coming to Oxnard for work, I've never stopped by BG's cafe. This is your quintessential local's diner. Classic breakfast and lunch offerings among other things. However they cater to the locals, lots of mexican breakfast options, and you can choose tortilla as side instead of your typical toast options. Today was a breakfast kind of day. Bacon, eggs and coffee. Not pictured was a side of salsa they brought me that really kicked the whole meal up a notch. For a Monday this place was packed, but I didn't wait long for a table. The service is great, everyone was very attentive and food came out hot and fast. ! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is cozy. The walls decorated with old photos of the city and surrounding areas, random knick knacks sit on shelves as if you're in someone's grandma's house.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]One thing that made me exceptionally happy is that there is lots of booth seating. Even the tables in the middle of the room have booth seats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Classic and no fuss. This place has definitely made it to my list for go to diners next time I'm in this area.

    Oatmeal Combo
    Carolina L.

    We didn't want a big breakfast due to an event we would be attending. I love oatmeal and so that's what I ordered. It was creamy and delicious! The locals seem to love this place and I can see why. Staff is friendly and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant looks like a hole in the wall but it's not, very deceiving.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can accommodate a good amount of customers[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    One of the must try if you're ever in downtown Oxnard. This restaurant has been around so long, you can see cool historical artifacts and photos here. Food is always flavorful, never need to add much to your plate. They have a variety in the menu and look for their specials as it's not on the menu. Service is friendly. There's plenty parking in the back if you have trouble finding a slot in the front.

    Pozole verde special
    Rene R.

    I've come to BGs and had delicious food before but this last time was lackluster. I hate giving bad reviews but this is just for the dish and not the restaurant itself. Waitress was nice and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cafe was bustling for a Sunday morning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just this pozole was no bueno. The broth was very thick. My mom complained that her chile verde was not servers HOT, just warm. Hoping next time will be better!

    Despite the rainy weather, this spot was worth the drive. Started the visit with nice warm tasty coffee & hot chocolate. The server was friendly and attentive. Our plates took a little time and the coffee was refilled while we waited. The french toast touched with orange and vanilla was delightful. The ham steak & eggs was good. The biscuit & gravy was delicious with butter or gravy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall great small family style restaurant with traditional menu, warm atmosphere, and friendly service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Check it out!

    Chorizo Omelette, country potatoes, biscuit, gravy and coffee.
    Ealeen B.

    This place doesn't disappoint me every chance I come here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It has that typical Mom n Pop local cafe settings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I come here for omelets, biscuits and gravy. Their price has gotten higher but what hasn't. Today, I had Chorizo omelet with country fried potatoes, biscuit and a side of gravy. I also had a decaffeinated coffee. The whole meal including the tax is $25.00. Their portion is big so I can only eat almost half of the servings. Their food tasted like they are home cooked. The biscuit is bready which I like and the gravy is not overpowering. They make their own chorizo. Presentation is good. Until my next visit but this place is highly recommended.

    Country Eggs Benedict
    Angela C.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cute little gem in downtown Oxnard![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone was so friendly and I loved the homey feel of the restaurant. There was a good variety of kids' options, which is a plus as my toddler is especially picky, but he loved everything he ate. Shout out to their country Benedict - heavy but beyond delicious.

My issue is that all of our hot chocolate felt very light and when we took the lid off to check it out they mostly filled it up with whip cream!!!! They rushed it and stole money out our pockets by not filling up all 5 cups. It was a waste !!!! Then the hot chocolate that they serve wasn't even anything to be screaming about. The local 711 hot chocolate is better. Just a shame that they would do that to people bc they're busy. Never right. The picture doesn't even show how much more was missing under that whip cream. Also it wasn't even hot more like warm temp

I didn't have my phone or wallet with me, but went into Tree Lounge and asked the young barista if he wouldn't mind giving me a water cup.

Order went through no problem. Trouble started this morning when my wife received a message from the driver that Tree Lounge doesn't have the order (first screenshot). My wife looks and sees she received a cancellation text for the order 1 minute after the driver's message (second screenshot). From the outside this looks like the driver walked in, asked for the order, they said they didn't have it and then cancelled it. So, my wife called Tree Lounge to see what is going on and was told that they cancelled the order because they were "in the middle of their rush". It's easy to see how poorly this situation was handled in general, but also clear no one checked online orders to prep the work for the morning. This order shouldn't be a surprise and the choice to just blind cancel it instead of making it because of what equates to "we're busy" is pretty bad. Takes a lot for me to leave a review. If you don't want to process online order during your rush then set those hours up in door dash. If you screwed up and just didn't check your online orders in the morning, then just make the drink as the next up order. I'm happy to discuss the situation - Tree Lounge, feel free to reach out to me.

Everyone knows of their sister business Smokin Jays but I am here to spread the word on their AM morning breakfast bites and coffee shop. The vibes here are always immaculate. Stepping inside they are always playing the best tunes (a little throwback Post Malone on the speakers at 9am to be exact) and a crew behind the counter that genuinely seems like best friends. The jokes and laughter flying around make this spot feel fun, welcoming, and real. The staffs positive attitudes are contagious, that's for sure. Now let's get into the good stuff....what did I order?: SAUSAGE & BACON BREAKFAST CROISSANT Low key one of the most slept on breakfast sandwiches in the 805. Candied bacon, juicy sausage patty, perfectly cooked egg, melty cheese on a warm buttery croissant. Absolute perfection. 10/10. GET THIS! Pro tip: grab the side of hash browns. The gooey cheese from the sandwich inevitably falls onto those crispy bites and suddenly you're in full food coma heaven. ICED MATCHA W/ STRAWBERRY COLD FOAM If you're a matcha lover, this one hits and it's a bit sweet (no complaints here). It's just good! They've got the brightest pink cold foam in the game, super refreshing, and just really well done. Is it ceremonial grade? I don't think so but sometimes a good matcha with fun foam is just what you needed regardless. WATERMELON MINT REFRESHER Not a coffee person? Their fruit refreshers are dangerously good. The watermelon mint is crisp, will cool you down, and super refreshing (hence the name). Tasty breakfast bites, solid drinks, and a badass crew. If you haven't pulled up to Potheads yet...what are you doing? Go check them out ASAP and if you take away one thing from this write up: get the breakfast sandwich!
