    Highly likely is that special place with amazing food, drinks and people that feels just right! A definite winner on all fronts. We decided to walk through Ojai and take in some great sights, fresh air and of course get in some healthy steps. Well, we stumbled upon Highly Likely and spoke with the hostess about viewing the menu and she gave us two menus and was quite kind. We decided to sit at the bar. That's where we met Jessica and Adrian, the dynamic duo. What amazing individuals. Carli also provided assistance and you could feel genuine love and caring hearts that not only enjoy their positions but truly love people. Ofcourse we were not familiar with the menu and Adrian helped me with my selection of chiliquiles with grilled chicken and Jessica helped my wife with her egg breakfast plate. Carli brought out our drinks as my wife had a great tasting cappuccino and I had an Americano. Both drinks were fantastic. Adrian and Jessica also helped me as I asked for cranberry juice which they don't carry although better yet they both recommended the hibiscus lemon spritzer juice. It was so good and refreshing. We also had some great conversations with both Adrian and Jessica which we truly enjoyed. I must say the staff here are phenomenal and so authentic and genuinely kind. We just loved our meals and the way these amazing individuals make you feel so welcomed and like family. Everything was beyond great. This is a very popular place and the outdoor patio and adjacent boutique are added bonuses. We will certainly be back for more good food and good times! Highly recommended

    Breakfast Burrito.

    Great cafe in Ojai. We went for breakfast but you can also get lunch. There were quite a lot of people there and by the time we left there were at least 10 people waiting. The food came out fairly quick and tasted really good. My burrito was on point. My wife had the avocado toast which hit the spot. We also had a side Halloumi which is not typically something you often see in a restaurant. The service was a little bit slow initially but picked up quickly. Everybody was nice and very helpful. The cafe is nice, my only complaint was that it was a bit cold in there due to the AC being on full blast. Will we go back next time we go to Ojai? Highly Likely!

    Kale Salad number 1
    Matt J.

    While I enjoy the Kale Salad in principle, the execution is very unreliable, making me second guess the choice to go to Highly Likely. It's as if the same ingredient list has been given to different kitchens but without further instruction. I've had it three times and the type of kale (Lacinato vs. curly), ratio of kale to other bases (cabbage and arugula), volume of crispy quinoa and dill (they should nix the latter altogether), adequacy of dressing coverage and amount of butternut squash are all highly variable and it's highly likely the meal won't live up to memory or expectation. It's a solid dish but I wish I could count on the ideal preparation, not a lesser facsimile. Consistency is difficult for a restaurant and this place should focus on it given how excellent they can be if reliable.

    Came here for brunch on a day trip to Ojai with my mom. We came on a Saturday with no reservation and were able to be seated immediately. We chose to sit indoors but they also have outdoor seating that was available to sit immediately. Highly Likely is located in a plaza with a bunch of parking availability so you don't have to worry about that. Service was quick and fast and I loved the decor of this place! Matcha Latte 3/5, this was just okay, I think I would opt for another drink if I returned Maple Leaf 3/5, my mom got this and also voted it was just okay and that she couldn't taste the coconut that's supposed to be present Sesame Waffle 3.5/5, was this a good waffle? Yes! Was it especially unique like I was expecting given its sesame nature with miso butter? No :( the waffle itself was good! I really could not taste any major sesame tones but the miso butter was nice and unique Tuna Melt 4/5, my mom got this and liked the small spice from the Korean gochujang

    Highly Likely is such a beautiful new spot -- bright, stylish, and thoughtfully designed with plenty of seating and free Wi-Fi, making it the perfect place to grab coffee, enjoy a great meal, or get some work done in a relaxed setting. We ordered the burger and the falafel plate, and both were fantastic. The burger was perfectly cooked -- juicy, flavorful, and balanced -- while the falafel bites were light, crispy, and paired perfectly with the pesto on the plate. The matchas were also amazing, especially the passionfruit matcha topped with their cold foam -- refreshing, unique, and just sweet enough. Everything we tried was delicious, and the space itself has such a welcoming energy. Can't wait to come back.

    Went for dinner. The food was just ok. The bolognese was too salty and the pasta was overcooked. The chicken was on the dry side and overcooked. Service was very friendly and the food was served quickly. Portions way small for prices charged. This is a new way to charge more without raising prices. Dissatisfied, but the ambiance is nicely done... modern and understated. Patio seating is great. Perhaps the breakfast is their strongest value. Will we come back? not likely.

    HIGHLY LIKELY!!! What can I say! I absolutely loved my dinner here, and Jessica was the BEST SERVER EVER! Truthfully made my busy work day so worth it at the end. The service was amazing, my food was incredible (salmon crudo I'll miss you so much), and my day in Ojai was so enjoyable because of this. I hope to come back soon! Please come to this location. I'm based in Los Angeles, but this restaurant truthfully is worth the 1+hr drive out. I loved every minute being here!!

    KISS (keep it simple salad)
    Ching L.

    Got their KISS (Keep it Simple Salad) which was actually surprisingly light and delicious. Nice citrusy flavor without overwhelming, good amount of parm and crunchy croutons. I had their Chagaccino iced which was so excellent and refreshing on a hot summer day. My friend got some oatmilk matcha drink with cold foam which I don't remember the name of now. That was also delicious! The banana matcha cocktail was skippable. It sounded so delicious but ended up tasting just kind of cough syrup-y. Also the sesame waffle with miso butter was rather dry and the miso butter just tasted like regular butter. Service was great though and the outdoor patio area had a beautiful view of the mountains! Great ambiance!

    My friend, who is from Ojai, took me to this restaurant and I loved it. First, lovely ambiance. The service was good and friendly. They have outdoor seating Suitable for couples, families, and groups of friends. At the first visit, I ordered a Lavender Honey Latte. I ordered an Iced latte, but they gave me a hot one. I didn't mind, so I had it, but they gave me an iced one later when they noticed it. The second time, I ordered a Good Turkey Sando, which was delicious. The pickles on the side reminded me of Japanese pickles. I could taste the good quality of all the materials. Please note that they only accept card payments. I didn't mind it because I always pay with a credit card. . This restaurant is conveniently located near the Westridge Midtown Market, allowing you to stop by after your grocery shopping. Parking is in front of the restaurant.

    Food was amazing! Our server Jessica was awesome and made us feel welcome and was so warm! The restaurant was so cute and coming at sunset was so pretty! We sat outside and the weather was perfect! We got the yuzu deviled eggs and salmon crudo to start and to say they were delicious is an understatement. For entrees we got the seedy schnitzel, the branzino, and the bucatini beet arabbiatta. Would definitely return and recommend to anyone visiting Ojai.

    I stop in here for iced tea occasionally. It has a nice vibe with pleasant music and nice outdoor tables. Prices are Ojai high, but service is quick and friendly. The menu looks good, so I will be back to try a meal next time.

    Such a cute and comfortable cafe! They have a good sized parking lot with indoor and outdoor seating, a bar and nice cushy booths. The style of this place is so chic and modern. They have a good range of food to choose from. Sandwiches and bowls and breakfast and classics like fish and chips and chicken fingers. I really loved my chicken! That's the god tier of chicken breading, very crispy with juicy insides. Comes with 3 sauces!!!! Sauces are the way to my heart and Kat got me. Hot honey is in right now and it was perfectly sweet and spicy. The yizu aioli was bright and creamy and the classic ketchup too! I had plenty of dip for all my needs! If i lived near this place, I'd be here every week, but i was visiting a friend in the area. She'll be back. She got a bowl and thought it was good but too soupy and not like a dry rice The service was friendly and the line moves pretty quickly. When i was waiting for my food, kat, who was on top chef most recently can't by to check on me and handled it like a pro. It was such a comfy place to have a good lunch.

    The service was super friendly and attentive. We walked in on a busy Sunday midday and the host made use a reservation for 15 min later. The wait staff were super upbeat and helpful. We had a matcha lemonade with coconut cold foam- unique and delicious! I had the hippy Crunchwrap- the crispy rice was great, and the broccoli and carrots were crunchy - I didn't notice any avocado in my wrap(which was disappointing) and it could have had more tahini and more chili crunch - but overall it was tasty. My friend had the kale salad with fried chicken added--she said it was fantastic especially the chicken. I was really impressed with the staff and Love the changes made to restaurant- the outdoor space looks amazing! The coffee drinks and the cocktails looked amazing- Will have to try them next time!

We hope she took off the danish order we rejected (as she took back the pastry), but we didn't keep the receipt to see. If you're new, then repeat back an order to make sure you heard everything correctly. Also, why can't pastries be heated? So strange. We each ordered the congee and while the chili oil offers a nice bite, there is no flavor beyond chili oil. The chai oat milk latte was nice but that's the only thing. It's a super cute spot, has fresh flowers everywhere, a pool table, and a nice front and back bar.

It's bright, clean, and has this easy organic warmth to it... the kind of place that feels like it was put together by people who actually care. Right off the main road, easy to find, and the family vibes are real. It's the kind of spot you want to linger in. If you're navigating dietary restrictions, this place is a quiet goldmine. Strong gluten free options, a genuinely vegan friendly menu, and plenty of vegetarian choices too... so everyone at the table actually gets to eat something they're excited about. That's rarer than it should be. The food? Solid. I went with the raw tacos, sopes, and huarache; all filling, all fairly priced for the area. The raw tacos especially surprised me... fresh, flavorful, and not in a "I wish this was a real taco" kind of way. These hold their own. Service was quick and most of the staff had a warm, genuine energy about them. The one small snag; the cashier seemed to be having a rough one. A little gruff, made me feel like my first visit was mildly inconvenient for them. It happens, we all have bad days, but first impressions do stick a little. Overall though, I'm absolutely coming back. There's more on that menu calling my name and an atmosphere that makes it easy to slow down for a bit. Whether you're vegan, gluten free, or just looking for something fresh and honest... this one's worth the stop.

Which they did. No apology. No trying to make it right. No explanation for the lingering order that never got shipped. Just 'ok, it's been cancelled.' I love their tea, but there are other tea companies where I actually receive the product that I place an order for. With SUCH EXPENSIVE tea, you would think they would be sure to get your order out on time. I'm going back to Harney and Sons (amazing tea). Far less expensive, and I have never ever had issues with ordering, and Harney has such top tier service, the OWNER of the company emailed me once to respond to a rave review I left them, just because they are THAT on the ball. The reason for my order was for a gift for a dear friend. So, they could have ended up with a new customer. I ended up getting them something else, something handmade, so hopefully that artist will get a new customer in the future. Never again, Magic Hour. You lost me as a customer, and now the friend I was going to send this gift to will never know you exist, so you lost two customers today. The fact that you never tried to solve the problem says a lot about your company.
