They bring everything right out to you, so we were able to relax, play cards, enjoy the sunshine, and hang out on the patio with our dog. It was honestly such a fun and relaxing experience! Before we left, I also picked up a few tea samples to take home. Definitely a unique place, and I can't wait to come back and try more teas!

It's been awhile since I had stopped at Revel…read more My husband and I were excited we were finally going to be able to go and do a tasting flight. I did also see they had a matcha affogato so I had to get that to try. All the flavors we got where so good - Amethyst, Jolly Merman, OM, Pink. My husband and I have different likes so the one I didnt like he liked and the one he didnt like I liked. It worked out. The matcha affogato was perfect. Ice cream was delciious. Like previously, workers were super sweet and friendly. We sat outside because we had our dogs and they were nice and brought the drinks out to us. Overall, my husband and i still love this place. Once we start our Ojai walks again we will be coming more often again.

I love their kombucha and those are always a generous pour to the top of the cup. They even…read moreaccommodate my desire for extra ice and a larger cup. I appreciate that flexibility. Where I do feel a bit stiffed is the açai bowl. It is reasonably priced at $6.65 for a small, which equals one scoop of mixture. I don't like bananas, so I asked for without and to "just add a few extra berries instead". When I was charged, there was a surcharge of $0.75 on the amount. I asked why the price difference and was informed that was for the extra berries. No substitutions apparently, even if you took a portion of the toppings off. The berries that came with the bowl were 4 (four!) small cut pieces of strawberries. That's it. Not 4 full strawberries, 4 cut pieces. They counted when they put them on each bowl. Yikes! I felt that whole interaction felt a bit sneaky to me. So pay attention to the final charges if you customize your order. Anyways, I understand that local businesses need to make ends meet, so I'm just deducting one star for it. Their kombucha is still bomb! *****edit after owner's response***** This is what I love about local businesses: The owner took the feedback and shared their perspective of their policy with me and in extension other customers who might read this review. I appreciate your response and clarification, Adam. Thank you for engaging with and being open to the feedback, and deriving an improvement that can be implemented immediately to prevent future miscommunications. I commend you for that! I do want to add that when I asked about it, the staff did politely and kindly explain the reason for the extra charge and reversed the customization request without any problems. And the team is always very accommodating with my other special requests such as extra ice in an extra cup. I can't state enough how great their kombuchas are!!!

Cute brunch/lunch/dessert stop in Ojai! I came here for the viral matcha affogato and it was pretty…read moregood. The dessert seems to be made with soft serve using real vanilla bean as I noticed the speckles in the ice cream. The soft serve was creamy and not too sweet and the matcha topped on it was delicious. The matcha used seemed to be of good quality and didn't taste bitter nor dry. However, this was pretty overpriced for $15 for a small cup of soft serve with some matcha poured on top. I'm wondering if it's pricey because of the vanilla bean used in the soft serve. Regardless, I did enjoy this dessert and it's a good option for a dessert stop after a meal. They also have food here and I would come back to try the food. They have limited indoor seating and tables, but seem to have a decent amount of them outside.

I don't live in Ojai but would be there for a week for my gf's birthday and the only thing she asked for was a cake. I had *no* idea how I was going to surprise her with a cake, but Ixy not only helped me plan but delivered and followed up on how things went! We messaged back and forth via IG and then texting and she couldn't have been more patient, accommodating and helpful to keep the surprise a secret. In fact, it took a small team of some incredibly kind women to help pull this all off and I'll never forget that. I'll definitely have to get more goodies from Bloom next time I'm in Ojai- such an amazing experience!!

We were the only ones in the store so we had the whole place to ourselves. It was nice, but also a bit awkward. The store manager/owner was definitely knowledgeable when it comes to honey and a bit of friendliness would have gone a long way. I do appreciate the cute storefront and how neat everything was. We ended up with 3 little jars of honey and the chocolate honey caramels to take on the road.

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!

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.

Hands down the absolute best dining experience in Ojai! I kept seeing this place all over TikTok…read morewhile planning our girls' trip, and it somehow managed to completely exceed the massive hype. Since it was my 1st time visiting the area, I took a gamble recommending it to my friends, & everyone is still thanking me for finding this absolute masterpiece of a restaurant. We stopped by for lunch right after a wine tasting just a block away. Even though they don't take lunch reservations and we had a massive group of eight, the staff handled it flawlessly and accommodated us with the most welcoming, high-energy service imaginable. The seamless counter-service model is brilliant--you order, sit back, and enjoy the incredible vibes while they bring perfection right to your table. Every single detail here is curated to perfection. We started with a bottle of rosé, which arrived in a stunningly creative, vintage empty can of peeled tomatoes. It is the ultimate aesthetic touch and a prime example of how thoughtful this place is with their presentation! APPETIZERS: The Casitas Pork Meatballs: An absolute triumph--incredibly flavorful and perfectly tender. The Chicory Caesar: Crisp, beautifully dressed, and a total crowd-pleaser for a big group. PIZZAS: Margheritaville: A classic, flawlessly executed red sauce pie that sets a whole new standard. The Madonna: An absolute genius flavor profile with earthy local mushrooms and a bright lemon finish. Porco Rosso: A total showstopper with bold spicy tomato sauce, confit garlic, and a brilliant, crunchy breadcrumb finish. The Pinyon Pie: Their iconic signature pie! The tangy kefir base with sausage and toasted pine nuts is an absolute, non-negotiable must-order. DESSERTS: The Pistachio Tiramisu: Pure decadence and perfectly balanced. Vanilla Bean Soft Serve: A culinary work of art topped with premium olive oil, sea salt, and cookie crumbs. The ultimate sweet-and-savory masterpiece. World-class food, a flawlessly executed concept, stellar hospitality, and an unmatched atmosphere. This team is firing on all cylinders. If you are anywhere near Ojai, you need to go out of your way to experience this place. Five stars aren't enough!

I don't love that in terms of service, but alas, this is kind of a common restaurant experience in Ojai. We ordered the broccolini, the mushroom pizza and the half chicken and it was all so incredibly flavorful and well prepared! The crispy flavor of the chicken skin was out of this world especially paired with the sweetness from the nectarines. Also, I was completely unprepared for the broccolini to be cut up and served in a circular shape but it's mixed with this really creamy and slightly spicy chili sauce that is so flavorful - and it also has a nice balance of sweetness with the dates. The dough and the flavors of the mushroom pizza were also amazing! I just loved how chewy the dough was. It had fantastic texture and bite/chew to it! All around, I thought that it was the most amazing place I've been for pizza. The only thing I didn't love was that sitting outside meant that once our food arrived, there were a few bees swarming around trying to also eat our food (it was just that good). Otherwise, everything was amazing!
