New to the area, walking distance to the Cafe. Hoping it would be a regular spot for breakfasts. Food was just fine for breakfast, but hardly memorable as a couple other reviews have suggested. Nice menu, fairly priced however I agree that the portions could be enlarged just a bit. Signature banana bread was simply "ok" and did not have the qualities associated with "homemade", as touted. Biggest drawback for us was the coffee, which did not taste like a quality blend--in fact it had little coffee taste. When asked what brand coffee they served, the waiter did not know. This is not usually the case if you are serving a premium coffee you are proud of. Service was excellent, though it was mid-morning and mid-week. And the patio seating overlooking the harbor is a great setting. The Cafe has the potential to be 5-star with just a little more refining. read more

I am sorry to leave this kind of review. The servers are nice but they need a new cook. I ordered bacon and eggs. Eggs over medium so that the whites were cooked and the yolk runny. I got over well done eggs that were cooked so much they were brown. Then the hash browns were inedible. They tasted like they were cooked on the same skillet as the fish. Horrible. I had to go to an appointment so I could not get things remade. I did eat the overcooked eggs. The best thing about the breakfast was the orange juice and the wheat toast. On top of everything, I had to pay full price for a meal I could not finish because it was so bad. Sorry but it was my first time and last time at this place. Good luck. read more

Worst breakfast I have ever had.!!! 45 minute wait then 30 minutes to bring out food. Rude staff. One star is too much please never ever go here. I don't know how they are even open. NEVER EVER GO HERE!!! I am disgusted. read more

Tried for the first time. It was good. Had the waffle combos with fruit, over hard eggs and bacon. The waffle was a bit dry/crunchy which is not a bad thing if a slathered in butter and whip cream. Overall it was delicious. Prices are about the same as other restaurants. Would definitely come back. I'd switch the menus to those new QR code's due to Covid. read more

We wanted to find a breakfast place that was dog friendly and had a view and we couldn't have asked for a better place. The staff was very sweet to our pups and attentive to us and the food was great! It could become our go to place at the harbor. read more

This is a newer breakfast spot very small but great to eat by the harbor . I've tried a few things and they are pretty good for the prices. If you are in the area. I would definitely check out this breakfast spot. read more

Standard breakfast fare. Eggcelent service(sorry). The only issue I had was that there were two of us, they gave us one menu, we asked for a 2nd menu and they said, just one menu per table(?) Is there some worldwide menu shortage that I'm not privy to? read more

Stopped in while traveling through Ventura, a breath of fresh dining in a quaint building. Pass on the long line of people waiting to eat a few doors down, you will not be disappointed. We had a delicious breakfast, I had the Ventura omelette with home made banana bread and my daughter had a Denver omelette with a lot of nice hand cut pieces of ham and onion... not uniformly cut like major chains have as prepackaged ingredients. Next time we are in town.....THIS WILL BE OUR GO TO SPOT, Thanks Golden Egg Cafe for a delicious meal! read more

Love the Ventura location. This place not up to their standards yet. Understaffed for a breakfast rush. Service slow. Literally the slowest busboy ever! Watched him take almost 10 minutes to clear one table. My toast was forgotten, then brought out burned....potatoes were burnt as well. This location needs work! I hope they get it together. read more

Cute very clean place. Service was excellent. We came in at 1:30pm and they close at 2 pm. They did not rush us and gave us excellent service. Food was great. It beats the heck out of ihop and the prices are much better then ihop along with the food. I was shocked more people wernt eating here. The coffee was perfect, my breakfast (french toast , eggs, bacon.) Was perfect and to REAL Syrup was also a great addition. I highly recommend this place to grab early or late breakfast. read more

Great service! Food was really good. Banana bread is on point! FYI they have a really nice patio and great view so walk all the way backs. There's is a huge place to sit. read more

Do not order the cinnamon roll and expect a raised, fluffy roll you might get from literally any other store or restaurant. We were served something that was more like a scone or coarse biscuit. When we brought up our dislike to the server, she stated that they are like that because they're homemade. No way! Otherwise, portions were small for the price, pancakes were pretty good. We were split on the French toast. Wife's skillet was underwhelming to say the least. Server spent a few minutes talking to a table that was ready to leave while 2 of her tables still needed drink refills. Will stay away in the future. read more

Great Ambiance! Over looking Seabridge harbor. Great food. A very hard working family runs this place. The waffles are Yumm! Only breakfast and lunch. read more

Service is great...clean, nice waterside seating. Coffee is fresh and hot. Food is fresh and tasty but I was really disappointed with the chiliquilles ... Not like described in the menu nor prepared as it should be. Just dry chips with green salsa and eggs on top. Steps were skipped. The salsa tasted great and the eggs were fresh so I will try something else next time. read more

Decent diner fare, friendly servers, and an amazing view of the channel from the back patio.

It's quaint, it's good and it's fast. I LOVE this place for breakfast. The chile quilles is to die for. Love sitting out right next to water, bringing my dog and just relaxing on a Sunday morning. Most of the servers a fantastic, and I love that you can have dogs on the back patio. read more

Second time here. Service great. Atmosphere...fantastic...(we like the patio overlooking marina). Had a nice omelet, basic and good. Banana bread is a nice option vs. toast. Will come again read more

Great breakfast place along with a great view. Their banana bread was on point and so delicious. Staff was attentive and very friendly. Can't wait to go back. read more

They can do so much better!!! Service needs to pick up their pace and food presentation needs to improve. It's in a cute area, a little minor fixes would Really improve the cafe. read more

Terrible. Totally unbiased review considering I currently work as a server, I understand the practicalities of how a restaurant/café should be ran. I am speaking based off my first time experience during a fairly busy holiday (Father's Day), could it have been different during a regular day? Probably, but there's no excuses in the food industry since mostly all restaurants/cafés have weeks of preparation before a holiday or even peak periods during the days. My family and I (Party of 5) waited around an hour (seating, getting our order taken, and waiting for our food). Around the 45th minute my mother was going in to ask for the ETA of when our food was going to go out when I went to the restroom. As soon as I got out I saw my mom walked out and overheard one of the employees say, "Well you should've stayed home" to a party of 2 sitting down. I was angry and decided to talk to the manager about the wait time and the lack of professionalism. I later found out the "manager" was the one who directed those derogatory comments not towards my mother however, but to another guest who opted to get in the kitchen to cook her eggs herself. Although it wasn't directed towards my mother it shouldn't have been uttered out PERIOD. Especially to two guests eating there. I told her we were waiting about an hour and corrected me with "48 minutes" LOL sorry for not being exact but that is a rough estimate. The phone rang and there was no "Give me one second okay?" or "Let me take this call and I'll get right back to you." She just turned around and took the phone just leaving me there. Reluctantly I walked back to our table and the food was at our table probably around the 45-48 minute mark. What's even worse was that a table that sat after us got their food first before my family did. It's not the wait time that ticked me off, it's the lack of service and professionalism. There's more to service than just saying "More coffee?" giving refills every 15 minutes. I don't know how things are ran here, but it doesn't seem that our server who originally took our order was there to take care of us. I guess the server assistants and/or food runners were the only ones who aided us with refills were the only ones checking with us in a sense? Here's some constructive criticism: 1. Have your server check in with your guests every 10 minutes to reassure the status of the order to their party to keep us informed because to be honest we felt forgotten. Servers should tell based on my party's body language we were getting impatient/irritated because we don't know what's going on and we haven't spoken to/seen our server. It's common sense that guests should be priority number 1 and they should be taken care of to give a lasting appeal to ensure they'll return. 2. You have 5-8 employees on the floor, we've had 2 of the workers offer us refills back-to-back in 2 minute intervals after we said yes to the first worker. All I heard from the manager was excuses, talking about the phone calls, the tablets of online ordering, saying "I don't know what to tell you the order has been submitted at this time I have no control" while showing me her tablet of our wait time, etc. Like yeah I get it, I've been there and it sucks. But you've got a lot of hands who can relieve that duty to make it run smoothly. I thought I can empathize with her (since we both work in the food industry) to be straight up with me. Are they understaffed in the kitchen? Dishwasher called out, so the cooks don't have any plates? But no I'm just hearing Front of House issues where they have more than enough hands for that. 3. No apologies or a concise explanation was given to me by the "manager" herself. She literally criticized a guest to two other people when the guest wasn't present, so I wouldn't be surprised if she bad-mouthed me after me and my family left. Get yourself a level-headed leader who actually cares about their guests. I know you're trying to stay afloat when it's busy, but there's really no excuses, I just hear complaining since I don't know the real reason why the wait time for food was so long. The food was alright, but too pricey for the portion size. We were hungry so we waited an hour in total to finish eating in 10 minutes. We still tipped because we understand the struggle, but honestly it could've been smoother. I'm just disappointed because it was my first time on Father's Day and I had work in an hour. We won't be returning any time soon. If management or any of the workers are reading this review you can bash me all you want, but I'm just stating the facts that there would not be any problems at all if service and professionalism was on point. Just communicate with us! Talk to us about our day! Something to keep us in the loop! Don't leave us wondering! read more

IHOP was full so we decided to try this little hole in the wall,because sometimes they serve the best food...well not this place the food is mediocre, first off its super small , not the best of service ,the menu is confusing,price is same as every other breakfast place the down side is that the food is nothing special or worth the money. Pancakes were rubbery,$4 hasbrowns over cooked, waffle overcooked. Portions are very small dont expect a big hearty breakfast like Allison's or galloping hen cause this place does not serve like that and everything was on its own plate which was a little to much since tables dont have enough space. Again my opinion. read more

Expensive and bland. The coffee was good, but the food had no flavor and was way over priced.

Food is simple and delicious, great patio and view of the marina, dog friendly, kid friendly, good service and a great place to take a walk after brunch. read more

Very disappointed! I got the chilaquiles and they tasted horrible we also got burgers and they sucked as well. Only good thing was the view and great servers. read more

The food was basic I've had better. The quality isn't that great and the food doesn't look that appetizing to me. I had the two eggs any way with a sausage patty and a biscuit with hash browns. The breakfast I make at home tastes better than their food. The biscuit was hard after a few minutes of receiving it. Also, the the girl that gave us the menus was pretty rude and had a bad attitude and gave us dirty looks. You probably shouldn't work in customer service if you're going to have a bad attitude missy. Wouldn't come back to be honest. The only good thing about it was the prices. I will definitely be trying a different breakfast place next time I come to Oxnard. read more

Great service and our breakfast was delicious, we seated outside , it was nice and clean with boat views

Over priced small menu. I'm not sure what type of coffee they use but it tasted awful. The food was average but not worth the price. There were only two other people in the restaurant on a Saturday morning so that says a lot. read more

Tried it for the first time and it's good. If you can get a seat in the back, has a nice open patio over looking the docks . Must try their homemade banana bread! read more

Over priced premade not homemade food. Such a shame. Great location and patio. Went here because Cafe Nouveau is under construction. Won't be returning read more

I've been here twice now. It's the closest breakfast joint to my house and it really is great. I thought it was some sort of Asian food place until I read about it online. it has dethroned my usual Eggs & Things due to its convenience, quality and atmosphere. read more

I enjoyed the egg scramble, though for about $15 I like to have more food. They said it was spicy with jalapeños, and I like spicy, though for me it was not very spicy. read more

Good food and excellent service. They accepted me and my service dog on the patio! I love this place & will definitely go again!

Great breakfast place with all American breakfast food, nothing too unique though. The banana bread is amazzzziinngg, definitely recommend. I got the avocado bacon and egg omelette with hash browns on the side and it was pretty good but could use a little more flavor. read more

great service! delicious breakfast!! amazing view !!! Came during breakfast with my son they also have a kids menu , they are super friendly. They also have outside sitting get to eat delicious breakfast and look at the amazing view in the marina . read more

I came here for breakfast and was not really a fan of it, the quality of food for the pricing was just not worth going there again. The coffee was watered down. Eggs were very small. The biscuits and gravy had no flavor, I was disappointed. The bacon was aggressively salted, my sodium intake for the year! My cinnamon roll was just dry, and steaming hot on the outside , was this microwaved? The toast was so burnt it was seconds away from being a lethal weapon. Great location but just wouldn't recommend it. Good service though. read more

Good brunch food, reasonably priced. Had me the chilaquiles with chorizo and avocado. Yum!

Me and my wife had been coming here once or twice a month. I like that their serving is just enough. The price are reasonable. After we eat we go walk at Seabridge. Come check it out if your looking for a new place. read more

I live in the neighborhood and have tried this place several times but the food is very low quality. The only good item is the banana bread.

I pass by this place everyday when I go to work. Finally stopped by this morning for breakfast. I'm hooked! The Golden Egg Cafe has charming decor and amazing service. I was greeted with a warm smile and seated right away. I placed my order and within about ten minutes I was served my wonderful and tasty Greek scramble with turkey sausage. The owner even came out to say a quick hello. I was so impressed with my overall experience and everything that the Golden Egg Cafe has to offer. I can't wait to come back! read more
