Happy kids = happy parents!!

Pineapple BLT??? Fried goat cheese? Blueberry Wontons??? So many flavors, all perfectly suited for each plate! They combine things you would never think of and the end result is delicious. So glad we stopped by- we will definitely be back!

I'm giving this place 3.5 stars. Food is great but I'm reducing the stars for service. I came here for brunch during the weekend and could not figure out whether we had to be seated by a host or seated ourselves. A few minutes later, one of the waitresses noticed us and told us we can sit anywhere. I faced a similar inattentiveness later on when waiting on the check. I waited close to half hour before finally just going up to the kitchen area and asking for the check. On the positive side, food was great! I loved the French toast and eggs and potatoes and liked how they have a decent amount of vegetarian options as well. Also look out for coupons in local magazines because they do honor them.

Grilled pineapple sandwich

Had lunch recently with a friend 1st time in a long time. Elixirs are mostly called flavored lemonade now but still yum, drinks & sandwiches were very tasty. Service was pleasant and not rushed or ignored just right. I'm happy for more healthier less fried fast food. Most interesting combos of favors. Def recommend

Schwafel
Krizelle G.

This is my second time coming here and this place remains my favorite breakfast/brunch place around here. There is nothing like this place here in AC/South Jersey area! I'm no falafel expert, but boy oh boy, their falafel makes me wanna forget I'm a carnivore! I had the schwafel (because yes, i have to have grilled chicken haha!), The portion was large and it came with homemade potato chips, absolutely scrumptious. My Bebu ordered the Seoul burger (has korean pork bbq over the patty) which also came with the chips. I forgot to mention the sweet and spicy Thai chicken wings that we had as an "appetizer" but the portion was actually meal sized. Overall, i love coming to this place. We will be trying their dinner menu soon!

Fabulous place in the middle of nowhere. What a find. A local, farm to table atmosphere filled with locals in the know. Great vegan, vegetarian options which are sparse in these parts. Homemade Kombucha in 8 different flavors. Great wraps, salads and inventive options for all eaters. A great place to eat. Thanks to Yelp for helping us find this spot.

Charred Pineapple BLT

This place used to be good but honestly the more I keep trying to like it the worse things seem to become. It's a shame because the menu seems really inventive and the staff is usually nice. I ordered the charred pineapple BLT with extra pineapple and it only came with two pretty skimpy pieces of pineapple on each half. I asked the server for extra pineapple again when she checked on me and she told me (kind of shortly) that there was already extra pineapple on it. I legitimately opened the sandwich and left the pineapple showing so she might see and understand that there wasn't that much on it. So I asked if I could possibly get another "side" of pineapple since there still wasn't much. Then she brought me out that ridiculous piece of pineapple with the core in it and it almost made me laugh. Honestly the fact that they served that to me is the main reason I'm here writing this review. I'm not looking for free food - I would've gladly paid a few dollars for the additional topping if that were the issue. But I feel like they were being a bit ridiculous with the serving in the photos. I typically don't leave less than positive reviews for no reason but it has been a cumulative effect and this was the last thing that made me realize the place just isn't worth it.

Haven't been here in 3 years but I'm so glad I came back! Their elixirs are delicious. I've had their Coconut Hibiscus and Cactus Pear and both were awesome. They're gingery and sweet. For dinner, we started with the BBQ Potato Skins topped with cashew sauce. They were pretty good. I enjoyed the sweetness from the BBQ and the cashew sauce was creamy. My brother and I shared The Portobello sandwich & Tso's Cauliflower. The Portobello was pretty good. We really loved the sweet potato fries that came with it. The sandwich needed a sauce or something. The Tso's cauliflower was fresh & sweet. I enjoyed the tangy sauce that came with it. The cauliflower's breading was very soft and tasty. For dessert, I had the banana peanut butter Oreo pie. It. Was. So. Good. Very rich, not too peanuty, and the Oreo crust was to die for. I can't believe they had so many vegan options! They were super accommodating and made sure everything we ate was vegan. I'll definitely be back!

WoW! Dessert BEFORE lunch

This place is a hidden gem... seriously a hidden gem! You would never know it's there unless someone brings you there. The food is very eclectic, tasty, made to order, and very hot. There is a ton to choose from on the menu. Oh yes, since I am partial to the almighty French fry...the are natural, hot, and always fresh! If you like spicy, they have spicy fries...YAY! Ha...almost forgot...FRIED OREOS! Get the sampler

Big portions, even the drinks.

I see a few of you mentioned they have vegan options. I e gone there a handful of times and didn't see anything vegan at all. What exactly is vegan (other than a lettuce and tomato salad)?

Falafel, Big Dipper, veggie tofu wrap, midnight rider wrap, dog bed wrap, rid noodler, veggie burger, feel good, kale appetizer, sweet potato wontons, garlic mash wontons, kimchi avocado app, fall back platter, veggie tofu rice bowl, tons of soups!… Read more

Felt like we had to have one of their "award winning" caesar salads since they boast it on the menu. It was definitely sizable so order to share. We enjoyed it. Not sure it would go in the books but it was really nice. Could have used some more croutons but loved the fresh shaved parm. The French onion soup is comforting and the pappardelle bolognese was such a treat! And because dessert goes to a separate stomach, we found room for a slice of the key lime pie which was absolutely worth every calorie! Ventura's offshore location is definitely larger and comfier than the beach location. The tables are roomier and the parking is easy. Though it can get a bit noisy but we asked to be seated away from the bar area which kept the noise level comfortable enough for conversation. The service is friendly and the portions are awesome!

They have a decent amount of tables to fit customers.
