Kabocha curry (so good I forgot to take a picture)
Sarah M.

Obsessed. Will definitely be back. Amazing service and the food tasted like it was made with so much love. I got the seasonal kabocha curry and I will definitely be thinking about this dish for a while. Super cute patio to enjoy your meal too.

Tofu and avocado toast
C. B.

For starters, this is a friendly place. Although there are lots of vegan options, I wanted something that wasn't on the menu, and they made it for me: a side of scrambled tofu. I also had avocado toast, which was delicious. I don't know whether they make their own bread or how it got to be so good but it was excellent. They also have a coffee bar with espresso

Sopes
Kira L.

Haven't had sopes since being in Mexico and these were surprisingly delicious! Bigger and more filling than I thought they'd be. The flour they make it with is thick and so good, I just wish they had knives sharper than butter knives to cut them. I kept struggling to cut a bite and then cutting through and eating the paper... lol. Salad looked great but unfortunately was super oily and I didn't end up eating it. Food came out quick, love the outdoor seating. Good but was it worth $17? I am not sure haha

Coffee menu 7.8.22

We had such a great experience our first time here, we decided to stop by again. We only had a few people in front of us, but it took a long time to order. I waited for the cashier to call me and she looked at me oddly for waiting. We ordered a smoothie and a tonic. We grabbed a seat, the first table was filthy and had hair on it, so we moved. There was no air conditioning and it was almost hotter inside than outside! After waiting almost 30 minutes I walked up to see where our order was. The same cashier was by herself and again gave me an odd look. She asked if I'd ordered food or drinks and before finishing her question read back my order. She went in the back and walked them out to me stating they've been really busy. The drinks tasted good! However, no fun decoration for the smoothie like prior. Very disappointed in this trip!

so my wife and I decide to eat at the farmer and the cook since my wife is vegan and I'm open-minded. Now I get the fact that I love so Mexican food unfortunately I have an allergy to cilantro, which makes my ordering kind of truncated. With that said who served me not quite sure what exactly I ate, but I was still hungry afterwards. also the meal came out somewhere between cold and look warm. My wife's food was along the same lines. no, I'm not sure if this is the norm for this place or if we just had stuff that was served at the wrong temperature. Between all this and the cup of mocha coffee, we ordered which honestly just tasted like a cup of water down hot chocolate with very little coffee resemblance in the cup. Needless to say we were underwhelmed and truth we're not gonna go back. The market seem well put together and I'm guessing if you live up in those neck of the woods and that's the kind of food you like shopping for this would be an ideal place . Maybe we ordered the wrong thing. But serving food at that temperature without warning, and also the interesting fact that you order at the counter and they bring the food. Nobody actually bother to check on us to make sure we were happy with the food. Never been there before, but shall not be returning .

We stopped at this little roadside cafe. Everything was organic. I got the coffee and breakfast burrito. It was good you have to ask for the hot taco salsa

Avocado toast and iced latte
Selene E.

This was our morning stop before heading back to LA and their burrito and vanilla latte were delicious! Both the inside and outside areas have plenty of space to eat and the service was very quick.

Tamale
Kaitlin D.

Excellent staff, excellent food, and excellent ambiance. Really can't go wrong with this spot. They gave us great recommendations for our first visit to Ojai and to this restaurant. We got the chips with guacamole and salsa, peach iced tea, huarache, and the tamale. Everything was great portion size and the food tasted so fresh and filling. We also got the peanut butter and oatmeal cookies, both were good but a very coconut taste (which I'm not a fan of but if you are then these are your cookies!!). Definitely would return on my next visit to Ojai.

Mushroom taco
Jennifer R.

I had the burrito and it was delish. They also have indoor or outdoor dinning which is a plus . It's so peaceful and just so lovely! Enjoy the nom

Huevos Ranchero
Jon R.

Was in Ojai the other morning and stopped by Farmer and The Cook for breakfast. I ordered the huevos rancheros and it was delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and all the ingredients, especially the avocado, tasted fresh. Unfortunately, when I was drinking my coffee I got a big gulp of coffee grounds. The bottom of my cup was layered with coffee grounds. It was disgusting. Overall, The Farmer and The Cook had great food, a friendly staff, a great small town diner setting but the coffee definitely brought down the meal.

Every single thing they serve is quality. The chef and founder's got a cool story -- you can look up a short doc on YouTube. It's Bermese food mixed with American. The Biryani, Crispy Rice Salad, Potatoes, Breakfast Plate, Granola, Congee, and Spicy Chicken & Waffle are all great. Ask if you can have a side of their chili oil -- I believe it's made in-house and they even sell it to take home. I would've gotten a bottle but they were sold out! Their cafe is also awesome. We got their chocolate chip cookie, croissant, danish (forgot which one), and sourdough and they were all good. Drip coffee is good + their caffeinated black tea (also forgot the name)! Lastly, the customer service was top notch. Your server will check up on you every 10ish mins or so. Always very accommodating and very friendly, too. Best believe we'll be back sooner rather than later! Thanks The Dutchess Crew!

Orders are placed at the register and pastries are given to you right away, and you'll receive a table tent so they can bring your coffee out. The pastries were really good, with a nice variety to choose from. The only thing that would have made them even better is if the savory pastries were heated. The coffee, however, took quite a while to arrive. We had already finished our pastries and our table was cleared before it finally came out. I went back to grab a few more pastries, and while I was away, a gnat flew into my coffee. I brought it back to the register, and they graciously replaced it without any issue. The second cup came out quickly and was noticeably hotter than the first. It seems like Saturdays can get pretty busy, so it might be a better experience to visit during the week if you can. There are several public parking lots nearby, along with street parking

We arrived towards the end of the market as they were starting to pack up and put things away…read more Still there were plenty of vendors still there offering their goods but slowly shifting and packing up. It's located in a parking lot behind the main strip and in a residential area. All street parking but it tends to be pretty easy. There's a bakery vendors that I've had a few times but they do sell out quite fast. Their fresh baked bread and sweets are one not to be missed. This visit, they weren't there in their usual section so I assume they were pretty much sold out fast. Loads of fresh organic vendors with all their goods. As it was summer, there were so many vendors with amazing tomatoes. Heirlooms, grape tomatoes and so all. Everything all looked so fresh and I'm sure it was straight from the farm that morning. Also loads of other vendors selling their homemade goods, like soap to candles to everything in between. Majority of the vendors are fresh produce so you know you'll be picking up fresh farm products. Also fresh flowers are always a must when a visiting the farmers market. Can't forget the fresh berries and fruits. Doesn't scream summer without all the fresh berries straight of the plant. Regardless what you're looking for or not, I'm sure you'll always leave with plenty of fresh things at this market. Their items are always so fresh. A must whenever I'm Ojai. It's always on a Sunday morning.

Prices are a bit more than Oxnard prices but I do think it's great to support local especially seeing the quality difference between local vendors and grocery stores. $13 for eggs still seems a bit steep for recovering from the egg hiked prices where they are now back to $6-7 in grocery stores. There was a vendor that sells sourdough breads and she was quite popular has she always had a line. Caroline's preservative jams are amazing in flavor and quality. I also appreciated that Centri Coffee was there so that I could buy some whole beans.

I had to call one over, and she asked me to walk to her instead of coming to the cashier. I ordered a hamburger with just cheese and a juice (which I repeated twice).

One time, my husband and I got the ready made "minestrone", which was a bowl of broken, soggy pasta noodles and broth. Ummmm, that's not minestrone... it's compost. Worst experience was when an employee shamed me for returning an (unused, unopened) item with the receipt. Like, what possibly could have been her problem other than she didn't want to be bothered by me to do her job? But, deep breath, other times it has been a "hit", and for those times I'm thankful. My most recent visit was the other day, with my daughter, as we were just in town for the day, and we wanted to pick up a few things to take with us on our roadtrip. We got a variety of things from organic fruit, to hummus and crackers, to vegan probiotic smoothies, and of course some yummy dark chocolates. The planets were aligned for us on this visit, and we were glad.
