    cinnamon dolce latte
    Ash M.

    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. :)

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    They have an amazing coffee beans selection. And without shadow of doubt, they pour the best espresso in Ojai.

    My 3 friends ordered coffee from here yesterday and neither one of them liked what they bought…read more It's also incredibly hot inside. *Update* If I could make this review 0 stars I would. My original review was much nicer but since then the owner has messaged me requesting that I take down my "insensitive review" when it was honest and not rude. However, I will make my review much clearer. The cashier (now I'm assuming owner) was condescending towards my friend who had never tried one of their non-dairy milks. My other friend did not enjoy her drink and in her opinion was possibly the worst latte you could ever have at a whopping $10 a pop. I'm not really sure why the owner, Stacy, felt entitled to ask I take down my review. But it will in fact stay, and I hope every person who ventures to visit this coffee shop stays away. Yelp was made to make honest reviews about one's experiences. Smart business owners know not everyone will have the same experience. The main goal to have with a unsatisfied customer is to understand what went wrong and to listen to the feedback, not win the argument!

I ordered a dirty chai and picked up some light roast whole beans. Coffee was delicious and I can't wait to break into the coffee beans. I got to meet the owner and she was a delight.

One of the hosts spotted our carrier and asked us what is inside. He then quipped how he hasn't seen a guinea pig at the restaurant before and directed us to a table outside. Mind you, it was hot and I could feel mosquitoes biting my exposed legs. It became unbearable in a matter of minutes. Moreover, my guinea pig requires a temperature controlled environment and can't survive in that heat. We put in an order and asked the server whether we can be seated inside. Once a table was made available, we were told we can move inside. I liked the table we were given in the back. They had three bathrooms inside. My boyfriend was disturbed by the bleeding fish display. He thought it was gruesome. As a vegetarian, honestly, I thought the same. I ate every bite of my curry. The female servers we talked to were nice. But the guy who came to pick up our clean plates wasn't very considerate. He took my rice bowl and it wasn't even empty. Then he dropped something he had taken from our table loudly on the floor right next to us and didn't even apologize or say a thing after. I liked the potatoes and curry I ate. But I'm still suffering from the mosquito bites because I have very sensitive and irritable skin. Plus I thought the service could definitely have been more friendly and courteous.

    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.
