My 3 friends ordered coffee from here yesterday and neither one of them liked what they bought. 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! read more

Came in here to buy a bag of coffee as a gift for a friend. I wasn't sure what to get, but the young woman behind the counter gave me good recommendations and talked me through their coffees. Even though the shop was a little busy and I was taking up extra time, the staff were all very friendly and upbeat and didn't make me feel bad for the line stacking up behind me. When the beans I wanted happened to be sold out of pre-packaged bags, she went and filled and sealed a fresh bag for me right then and there. Awesome! Small, clean, cozy shop, and I didn't buy any pastries this time, but they did look really tempting. I should have bought a lemon bar. Next time I will for sure. read more

I have drove by this place several times and had been wanting to visit. Glad this was on the list for a weekend with the girls visit. 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. Highly recommend for good coffee and pastries. I didn't buy any pastries but they looked so good! read more

This is our friends favorite place to stop on their motorcycle rides up to Ojai. It's a quaint little stop with a cozy atmosphere, good coffee and some yummy pastries if you're looking for something not as fancy and pricey as the Dutchess. It's a great place to meet up with friends and recently we've begun a study meet up here on Friday mornings because it's been so welcoming of a place to do so. read more

We have been here a couple of times, when we come up to Ojai with family. The park down the street is usually where we go to walk the dogs and along the bike paths. So, we usually end up here after to enjoy the cold brews, today. They have great coffees and smoothies and teas. The pastries are few, but look great. I always wanted to try a cookie here. Anyway, a nice rest stop and a cool place to people watch. Enjoy! read more

Good service. Good coffee. Fun vibe. If you buy some beans, you get a free coffee, keep that in mind!

Went here a few days ago to get a boost before exploring Ojai! The cafe is a cute set-up with beautiful local art and a clean dining area. Not a ton of outside seating, but there are plenty of places to sit and enjoy around downtown Ojai! The staff were polite, answered any questions I had, and were prompt with my order. I got a dirty chai tea with a shot of espresso in it. It was a bit grainy but was warm and woke me up! I also recommend trying some of their breakfast dishes and pastries. Will come back next time I'm in town! read more

Cute coffee place and seems like there are a lot of patrons that go here. We ended up with the lavender latte because we thought Ojai was known for lavender. It kinda tasted really sharp and syrupy. I'm unsure if they extracted the syrup from real lavender or if it was fake. It just didn't taste as good as I thought it would be. The coffee itself tasted decent, but the drink was not as good as I was expecting. read more

Stopped by on a Friday afternoon with my partner while visiting Ojai. It was very busy, and there was a line to order. The coffee shop is small but lovely. We got lucky and found a table. Great place to chat with friends or work/study if you don't mind the chatter. There is art along the walls for sale too. The cashier was extremely kind, friendly, and helpful. We ordered the Berry smoothie, Lox and Bagel Platter, and Broccoli Cheddar Quiche. We absolutely loved Lox and Bagel platter. It was a bit messy to make ourselves and eat but it was great to choose how much of everything we wanted on our bagel. Tasted delicious!! The smoothie tasted alright - pretty standard. We were very excited for the quiche since we are both big fans of broccoli cheddar but unfortunately we didn't love the taste. Overall, we had a good experience and enjoyed most of our food. I would recommend this place and visit again if I'm in town again. Parking: Plenty of free street parking nearby read more

Ysa and anna were both so amazing!!! We came in and were so excited that they were still open. We got the creme brule and the tirimisu and both were really good! The creme brule was really good! We got iced matcha lattes and they were really good!!! They have a lot of options for syrup flavors to add on and a lot of different coffees as well as other options for non coffee drinkers like myself! Very cute indoor and outdoor seating area! Thank you to Anna and Ysa for such an incredible experience!!!! Will for sure be back thanks to these ladies and the yummy food!!! read more

I was really hoping for better out of a coffee roaster. Ordered an espresso and the baristas were not knowledgable in the least about the beans they were pulling. The shot was super watery and bitter and it seemed like they just left it running for way too long. I would look elsewhere for better coffee in Ojai! read more

Stacey is the kindest person, and she makes the BEST coffee in Ventura County. The employees are so kind. The food is AMAZING and the Honey Cinnamon Latte is to DIE FOR. The vibes are immaculate. read more

Tried their avocado toast yesterday; delicious! I appreciated the type of bread they use as well as the toppings. FYI, my picture only shows 2 of the 3 slices that they serve... not sure how that 3rd slice disappeared before I took my picture! read more

Would like to tell you how the coffee is but never got to order. Stood in line for 10 mins with two kids in front of me trying to place a large order for several other people while simultaneously having no idea what any of them wanted. Gave up and left with no acknowledgement I was even there. Also appears to be the only place in Ojai that isn't dog friendly and based on signs they are aggressively dog UN-friendly if that matters to you. Give Coffee Connection a try. read more

Great local coffee business, but did you know that have the most incredible breakfast/ lunch menu. I just had the turkey sandwich that was so good. Everything was fresh and so delish! Check it out, keep it local! read more

Great spot located in the middle of town and walking distance to all the shops. They roast so many different types of organic coffee (the selection is amazing!) and have organic matcha. We enjoyed not only their drinks but were pleasantly surprised by how delicious and filling their food was too! We loved the veggie quiche, Greek salad, and veggie sandwich the most! They mostly have indoor seating available with two tables located outside by the sidewalk. The staff is extremely accommodating, friendly, and helpful! Thank you Anna for the great service and thank you Stacy for all the right recommendations! The ambiance is like a coffeehouse/cafe, perfect place to grab a delicious and quick bite while in Ojai! We will definitely be back! read more

Funny thing is when I looked them up on yelp and looked at her photos. It looked like they sold organic coffee, which is why I was really looking forward to have. When I got there to my surprise, I really didn't see anything organic beans wise or what they're selling for coffee wasn't clearly met so the reason why I'm giving it three stars is because I came I saw I left. The reason why I left is upon us walking in and they were semi busy not a single employee looked up and greeted at us. Now I don't know about you but even at Starbucks they say hello no matter how busy they are. Pete coffee always greet you with a smile regardless how slim they are. Place smell good and they were busy so it was a testament to their coffee shop and I'm being generous for three stars versus two. It's the holidays after all No management you were one of the few freshly ground coffee houses in Ojai I think your staff can be a little friendlier read more

Enjoyable shop that usually has a decent crowd. Service is attentive and helpful. It's a great shop, but their roast could be a bit better in my opinion. Best coffee in the close area though for sure! read more

It's been more than 5 years since I drank their coffee but never had a chance to post a review about Ojai Coffee Roasters. Today, we had the Sumatra Coffee and my salivary glands really went to full excretions, hahahahha! Ojai Roasters never fail to amaze me with whatever they roast for the day; be it Colombian, Sumatran or African, their coffee are really the best! They also bake fresh treats which goes well with any of the roasted coffee of the day. All of their coffee are sourced from the best and purest coffee farmers everywhere and they taste like freshly roasted beans. I always try to smell the aroma, snort (exaggerated) the smoke before I slowly and calmly gargle it to allow my taste bud and salivary glands to immerse myself to maximum enjoyment. So, when you're in the Ojai area, drop by Ojai Coffee Roasters and have a taste of Sumatra, Colombia, Africa or wherever they source them. Oh, let me get back to my cup! read more

Ambiance is good with a good amount of seating options but service is a bit slow. I was there at 9 am on a Sunday, but the line was long and didn't move very fast. read more

If I could leave no stars I would the attitude I received was by far the worst I've ever come across. it wasn't until they saw my form of payment where I realized it's all about status truly disgusting the staff there was not hospital and the coffee cake I had ordered was a 2/5 but experience never again read more

Overall rating seems underrated. Coffee is delicious. In store as well as brewed at home. Sipping on their Topa Topa House Blend right now. Staff is proficient and very friendly (seems like a theme in all of Ojai). Stacey, Steve and Jane here . Thanks for taking your time with us. Knowing and observing how much you as the owner cares and is involved makes a visit extra special and memorable. We certainly will be back on our next visit to Ojai. read more

Coffee was pretty good and the building was super cute and cozy. However, the customer service wasn't the best. They're not very friendly and even sound kind of sarcastic when talking to you. Would come for the coffee again, but not the environment. read more

Thank you OCR for providing a buy one get one offer just for checking in for the first time! My family was visiting Ojai and we stopped in to bring some fresh ground coffee to take home.

A fine coffee place in the true coffee house tradition. Welcoming with many coffees and teas. Worth a stop!

This was the best cafe in the area from the ones we tried. The coffee was good The food was delicious - we had the broccoli and cheddar quiche and the ham and cheese croissant. The croissant was fluffy and good. It had the right ratio of ham and cheese. I only wish they had some of the chocolate or almond croissants left. We were there at 9am so not sure if they had already run out or they just don't make them every day. My sparkling probiotic drink was surprisingly good as well and was a local brand read more

I'm not a coffee drinker but often times coffee shops are good for a quick bite and I usually get a tea or other non-coffee drink. I was feeling a little peckish so I picked the ham and cheese croissant and an iced green tea. The ham and cheese croissant had big chunks of ham in there but there were some parts that weren't toasted but burnt, which meant I picked some of the pastry was removed as collateral damage. My iced green tea was made fresh which was nice but the combination of very hot tea + some ice = a lukewarmish tea. I would have asked for more ice but the line started getting very long and it became a diminishing return kind of thing. read more

I had a chai latte, and it was meh. There was some grainy texture I didn't know what it was. The drink is kind of bland.

Best coffee and gathering place in Ojai! Staff is fantastic and Stacy... the owner is the best!!! She loves everyone and everyone loves her!!!! read more

A nice local coffee shop with a busy vibe in the mornings. Good location, multiple pastries with an on-site owner directing traffic inside the shop. Some nice conversations with locals and visitors alike - and a great location in Ojai. Neither Kevin or Reese were here ... but I did meet a local vet (retired) and a fantastic artist while here. Nice town. Nice big TREES !!! Good start to the day each morning ~ read more

I was really disappointed with the owner's attitude during my recent visit. Shortly after ordering an iced latte, I noticed that the rim of the glass was chipped. The chip was smooth--not sharp--but still unacceptable for serving drinks. I immediately informed a female staff member, who was very apologetic and promptly replaced the glass. I appreciated her quick and respectful response. However, when the owner came over later and the staff explained what had happened, she showed absolutely no reaction. She didn't look for me to offer an apology or even acknowledge the situation. So I approached her myself and said, "Are you the owner? The glass I was served was chipped." She then raised her voice and said, "Did you cut your mouth? Do you need to go to the hospital?" in a rather defensive and inappropriate tone. My husband told me to let it go, but honestly, I was shocked by the lack of accountability and basic hospitality. This is supposed to be a well-regarded coffee shop known for quality and service, so it's unfortunate that such a careless and unprofessional attitude came from the very person in charge. After stayed in Ojai for a few days, there are so many other coffee shops are so much better. This place, customer treatment leaves a bad taste too. read more

Delicious cold brew! Tempting baked goods, chill vibe and lovely owner! Highly recommend.

I ride my motorcycle all over the place, different near and far cities, in my free time. Ojai Coffee Roasters has the best Mocha I have found. It's perfect and the vibe here is unbeatable. Great staff. A+ across the board. Even the 3 different OCR shirts I've bought are super comfortable. read more
