    Iced Maple Chai, honeybee coffee, and a mango green tea
    Mark H.

    Quiet, friendly café a little out of the way. This cafe had a menu that was easy to find and read, unlike some places on Ojai Ave. Got an iced Maple Chai, honeybee coffee, and a mango green tea. Outdoor seating behind the café. A lovely oak tree above the plaza dropped a few catkins and some pollen onto our table!

    cinnamon dolce latte

    Very yummy. We came back to this spot for a second time while we were in Ojai. My favorite part is that there is a large selection of flavors when it comes to the drinks. My favorite is the hot cinnamon dolce latte. It's in a cute store with little cards and coffee beans to buy. Coffee was delish, a little more money but way better than starbucks. :)

    My Favorite Coffee Spot in Ojai! This is hands down one of the best coffee shops I've ever been to. The ambiance is incredibly cozy and welcoming--perfect for relaxing, reading, or catching up with a friend. The staff are extremely kind and helpful, always making you feel right at home. Whether you're a local or just passing through Ojai, I highly recommend stopping by. It's easily the best coffee shop in the area and has quickly become one of my all-time favorites. I love this place so much I recommend it to everyone!

    Was in Ojai for the day! Needed caffeine and I found Java & Joe while walking around Ojai. I passed a lot of coffee shops but this one caught my attention as it was also a gift shop. I ordered a 20oz White Chocolate Mocha for 5.25 which wasn't a bad price! That's what I pay around or more at my local shops. I think Starbucks is more! Happy to support this local spot! My drink was perfect! They have a patio outside in the back and a few tables out front! When in Ojai, I'd def stop here again! Young woman at register was friendly but not everyone was. She was also helping to make drinks but was chill. They were super busy and seem overwhelmed compared to the lady that assisted me. They busy with a big group of bicyclists that had just ordered.

    Cool coffee shop! I really like their mocha with 2 espresso shot and soy milk. Taste perfect for the hot day. Love the variety of merch they have here from cups to teas. Their cold brew coffee was also light and smooth. We went to a few coffee shop and this was my fav location for the area.

    Snickers specialty hot drink. 4 shots of expresso.

    Always friendly and the coffee is always good. I have tried most of the specialty drinks and they never disappoint. Service is always fast and even when busy never do I have a problem with quality. If you're local or visit often grab a little punch card for a free cup after you get a few. Kinda similar to most coffee places apps for rewards just the old school way.

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

I don't get the skateboard planks... are they for sale too or just display?? So why not 5-stars you ask? Well... I didn't think the food or coffee was that great honestly. The breakfast sandwich was so big, I don't know how anyone realistically eats it without getting egg all over their face or the whole thing sliding out from the bread and falling apart. It's pretty, but so sloppy once you dig in. The green pesto looked amazing but ultimately lacked flavor. The pickled shallots that came with it was so overpowering, (and mind you...I love shallots!) but I have to remove some. I ended up deconstructing the sandwich and eating it like a bagel with too much topping. Not so much a sandwich. The over easy egg was pretty, but didn't add any benefit. Maybe over hard would be a better option. Friend got avo toast. Once again super pretty, but she could tell the sliced eggs weren't as fresh and again the pesto was pretty flavorless. Lots of salt and pepper and hot sauce needed for both our dishes. Bread were over toasted, so cuts to the mouth roof top. Lattes were pretty, but tiny and coffee was meh. One bathroom, long wait. Order at counter and find a seat. Wait for them to call your name to drop off your food, but if you don't hear them or there are others with the same name... you get the picture. Come to think of it...My food did take took longer to come out and maybe it was because of those reasons! So skip the IG hype and go with Yelp reviews.

You place your order at the counter inside and can pick a table on the small patio area outside. I came here around 11 AM on a Monday morning with my partner, and there seemed to be a steady flow of customers. Some were grabbing a meal while others stopped by for a quick drink & pastry. We ordered the breakfast burrito (unfortunately, they didn't have any chorizo available) and the Korean rice bowl. The Korean rice bowl was definitely my favorite of the two, as it had more variety in terms of taste and texture.

Egg to bun ratio was off. It was too much bun not enough egg. Their drip coffee is not my favorite. It has a strong sour berry taste. First visit service was great and we got refills on our coffee promptly. 2nd time drip coffees took longer than our food to come out and no refills were offered. Servers were standing around but we were unable to get their attention despite sitting at the bar. Atmosphere is nice. Will most likely try a few more things on the menu.

    The Farmer and the Cook -- Fresh Finds Off the Main Road…read more I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect walking in for the first time, but The Farmer and the Cook won me over pretty quickly. 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.

The chips and salsa were incredible and super fresh. I loved the homemade hot sauce as well. The star of the show for me was the seasonal persimmon smoothie. I couldn't believe how delicious it was, and for only $7?! The bathroom was pretty disgusting when I stopped in, but I will try not to hold that against them lol overall the restaurant was clean and the people were friendly!

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.
