Such a cute cafe! Me and my mom stopped by here to grab a bite to eat after a memorial service for my uncle. The atmosphere here is inviting, spacious and beautifully decorated. I ordered the breakfast croissant with bacon and my mom had the sausage one. Both were delicious and perfectly made. I also ordered a cup of coffee. I didn't know it was cafe de olla until I tasted it, which was a nice surprise! I loved the hint of cinnamon. The perfect place to stop and grab a bite to eat while supporting the church across the way. Come to find out they own it! Genius move on their part since people get hungry after church services lol. read more

Tomas Cafe is a staple in downtown Oxnard and I can see why this restaurant has stood the test of time. The food is delicious, the decor is cute and the staff are very friendly. I came in for a late breakfast and was eager to try their chilaquiles. When I walked in the place was quiet but staff were attentive and ready to take my order. The menu is placed on their front register area. You order at the counter and then they bring your food out to you if you are dining in. As I planned, I went with the Rojo Chilaquiles and picked up one of their fresh squeezed orange juices. Prices were average, but when supporting a small local business, I'll happily pay a little bit more. I grabbed a cute table by the window, and my food was brought out promptly. Both my chilaquiles and the orange juice were A+ 10 out of 10. The Chilaquiles were perfectly crispy and fresh, loved the over easy egg, and a generous portion of guacamole. It came with a side of rice and beans, which was perfect. As I mentioned, the orange juice is squeezed fresh in House and is one of the best orange juices I've ever had... I know it's simple, but it just tasted so good. This restaurant is an absolute gem and they have great breakfast and lunch options. There's plenty of parking either on the street or there was a parking lot to the side of this restaurant that had plenty of open spots. They have an outdoor patio with umbrellas, but I find the inside to be very cute and well decorated. A nice place to eat indoors. Overall a solid meal that felt very comforting and was delicious. The staff are nice and I like the overall ambience, I hope you all will give them a try. read more

It was my first time and I'd definitely come back! The food was delicious. Here you order and the counter and seat yourself. We all shared a cinnamon roll, it was 4 of us, so to share was perfect, especially while we waited for our food. I ordered the chiliquiles burrito, which was delicious. It was big, I had to save half to take home. The salsas were delicious as well. Ambiance was vibrant and the service was kind. read more

In Real Estate they say Location, Location, Location...but Buildings have their own personality and charm. Tomas Cafe is a unique place and I love the space. The building is ginormous! Lots of room for a big family breakfast, a business meeting with colleagues, or to allow yourself personal space to catch up with a loved one or friend. The wood panels and glass structures that divide the various rooms in the space remind us that architecture and art exist all around. There is lots of light that comes through and it doesn't feel like a diner or cookie-cutter cafe. It feels like something more. It's nice to grab a seat and drink a cup of coffee out of glass cup, resting on a saucer. It's the simple details that remind you we need to give attention and time to things in our daily routines or rituals. Tomas Cafe is where you can do this...read a newspaper with your breakfast. Or bring in a book and enjoy time with yourself in a beautiful space. Whenever I'm craving a solid breakfast sandwich, it's one of the first spots that always comes to mind. The TC Breakfast Egg Sandwich is simple, but delicious! 2 eggs, a slice of bacon, Cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes on brioche bun. What more do you want to get you started? Its the perfect amount to get you going but not slow you down. The homemade salsa that comes with it has flavor and spice and everything nice! read more

The woman who I assume owns the place took our order and had trouble hearing which was fine since she was old and she couldn't help it but she charged us for the wrong pancakes which wasn't a big deal but the pancakes she gave us were too sweet and I got a chicken avocados sandwich with orange juice and the chicken was a weird texture unlike chicken and the orange juice tasted like the juice you put into bubble machines, it tasted like chemicals and I am genuinely not a picky eater I eat almost anything but I find this as an exception and the desserts they have are from a different restaurant called Porto's and they were probably a few days old which I did not mind but I assume some people will mind so I figured I would add this to the review very good service though. read more

I tried this place with my mom after a medical follow up appointment. I was pleasantly surprised. The menu was easy to understand and both people I interacted with were very nice and accommodating. The omelettes and potatoes are so legit. And the side of fruit I ordered was very fresh and tasty. The coffee drip and latte were both great. A clean environment and consistent attention. Lots of kindness. I recommend trying this spot. I liked it. read more

Came for brunch so this is based off that experience alone as we were not directly serviced. The . Food . Was . DELICIOUS ! That's it , that's the post! Tomas Cafe put out a beautiful brunch spread and everything was so good (well, except the pastries). They even had YELLOW WATERMELON - like what? Never had it ! The staples really were their fried chicken and their grits. YUMMY! Will definitely have to go back to get the restaurant experience. read more

The food was hot and delicious!!!! I ordered at the counter a chorizo breakfast burrito and cinnamon roll and another plate of goodness. The employees/owners, I assume are mostly family, were so nice and hospitable. Glad I chose this place today I left full and happy. The beans and rice we so flavorful. What a sweet little spot in DT nard. Forsure going back. read more

They will pick up the phone when you call to place an order only to inform you that they are closed. I've never encountered that with other businesses. Please update your business hours so people know the correct times to order. Closing the kitchen at 1:15 when the hours advertised are 8-2 is a bit odd. read more

Came here for breakfast time. It's a bit confusing as I entered there is no server and we waited for less than 5 min and then a lady says you can come and order, I get more confused I'm at a restaurant I was expecting to take a seat and get served, unfortunately it does not work that way. I don't understand how you are supposed to pay up front and provide a tip when you have not been served yet or had no service. The food was okay, I tried the famous cinnamon I didn't taste anything special about it. Not convinced to return. read more

SERVICE: They have outdoor seating options, staff were nice, place was clean, and parking was a little hard but mainly due to a funeral taking place across the street. Also, they gave us plastic utensils which was a little questionable due to ordering steak, but it was fine. FOOD: First, can talk about how delicious the orange juice was? People! Go get a bottle-now! Support them! Food was good. You'll see what i got from the pics. The only disappointment that came wit humor were the grits. Allow us to say it is hard to find cafe's, etc. who sell grits here in Oxnard. We called them and they said yes which made us come after calling literally a few restaurants. Well, we were excited for the grits but laughed hard when we saw how soupy they were hahaha. Hey, it is what it is. WELL: We shall return. read more

Most breakfast places are pretty full by 10:00 am, this place was almost empty. That should have been a red flag but we stayed anyway. It wasn't bad but it could be way better. Breakfast tacos were hot but rice and beans were barely warm. Egg sandwich was okay, nothing to rave about. Pastry was warmed in the microwave. I swear their pastries are from Porto's. I asked for a cold brew with vanilla in it and they gave me an iced vanilla latte. I was sadly disappointed because I was really looking forward to eating here. read more

The breakfast I ordered at Tomas Cafe, the Jesus's Chilaquiles it has to be the most non-Mexican breakfast I ever had eaten. The restaurant serves American and Mexican breakfast, on the menu describes what is considered to be a traditional Mexican dish. Pros - clean, spacious area to eat, friendly and attentive personnel. The women's bathroom spacious and well kept. Cons - the food is order over the counter, then food is delivered to your table. If it is your first time and not familiar with the menu you better step aside to read the menu. Otherwise, you will be holding the line for the other ones they want to place an order. The picture on the website of the Jesus's Chilaquiles looked totally different of what I was served. In addition, ordered a regular cup of coffee and a cherry turnover pastry. Jesus's Chilaquiles, it appears the beans, the rice and the tortillas chips were piled up on a plate. The sunny side up eggs on top of the tortillas chips were cooked as I requested. The refried beans and the rice lacks of flavor. The tortillas chips were not wet with the red sauce. Instead, I got a side order of the red sauce. The receipt states the green sauce to be served on the side. The queso fresco was ordered on the side. The coffee was not hot enough it was lukewarm. The cherry turnover pastry was not appealing barely had some filling. Noticed next to Jesus's Chilaquiles plate is the receipt. Management, I would recommend to check the order prior to be served. Very disappointed, definitely I will not come back. read more

I ordered this via Uber Eats. They did not have 2 out of the 3 things I ordered for breakfast and it took over 2 hours for the delivery. The driver called me, they did not have a turkey burger so I settled for beef. They also did not have ribeye steak so they wanted to substitute a brisket burrito. I figured I should at least get 2 and to their credit they gave me 2. However, it took them over 2 hours to delivery this to me as well, so of course everything was cold read more

The other day my daughter and I went for a good breakfast and they ended up the breakfast on paper plates. Then their relatives or close friends came and they were served with real plates where as other customers were served with paper plates and disposable utensils. They charge us for the same amount as charging a normal restaurant. We just ate our food and left to never come back ever again. 0 stars. read more

My wife, daughter and me had a late breakfast and tried out this place for our first time. Awesome food. Daughter had the chilaqille breakfast and my wife and me had the chilaquile burrito.

I love the food here, but it takes everything in my power to deal with the owners mom. My AXXESS coupon should give me 15% discount. In the past, she always changes it to 10%! Today, she refused to honor it at all!! She said they haven't honored it in over two years. The AXXESS program gets renewed every year. Nope, we were here a couple of times and the employee honored it at 15%. Food is to good to give it up tho.... :( read more

Terrible, el huevo sunny side up cruda la clara y mal echo,después te lo tapan con sour cream para que no te des cuenta?; la salsa de chilaquiles sin sabor y el arroz recalentado de 2 días mínimo, y de la presentación del plato mejor ni hablamos, mi hija no se termino ni un solo pancake de chispas ( se supone que las chispas de chocolate van dentro y se las pusieron encima), posiblemente tengo un paladar muy exigente pero si voy a un restaurante voy con la expectativa de recibir un buen platillo por el cual estoy pagando y en este caso no fue así. Tengo años de experiencia de tras de una cocina cuando gusten les puedo ir a dar clases de cómo es que se hace. read more

I ordered my mom a Mother's Day brunch to be delivered and Tomas Cafe came through. With quarantine, I wasn't able to visit her. My mom said it was delicious and sent me pics. I had eaten here once before with her, and I could almost taste the plates through my screen. I ordered her the cinnamon roll a la mode (with the ice cream on the side), the chicken fried steak, and a couple side orders of bacon. The portions were food-coma huge. Thank you, Tomas Cafe! read more

I just got off Dr the freeway home with the restaurant and am not happy! I have ordered from this restaurant many times. My husband has discovered their club sandwich recently. When it arrives the fries are with the sandwich. Which makes them soggy. No matter how many times I put on the ticket to please put fries separate, they are always together. I decided to call today, immediately after receiving confirmation that they had my order. I did not pull a Karen. I politely asked if they could box the fries separate. The woman said they always put the fries in with the sandwich. I replied that I know but want them separate. She replied this is how they package. I again asked for them to be separate. The tone was rude, brisk, and don't bother me. She then said that it would be another container. I offered to pay for the container. Her curt reply was they would do it "just this one time". They just lost a customer who orders or visits at least twice a month and spends on average $60 per visit. During the pandemic/lockdown this was once a week. read more

The food is very good, big portions, great atmosphere the only thing is you have to order at the front counter first before seating so it takes longer to look over the menu instead of taking your time at the table! read more

Service issue :, I respect the owners but I will not be returning after a terrible service this morning. It was an older Mexican lady (I'm Mexican by the way) , she charged us extra for our drinks that came with the meals we ordered and she didn't make any effort to go out of her way to make sure we weren't charged just because "the machine didn't let her" paid an extra $10 for drinks because of her incompetence, after we had a good amount of food left over, when we asked for to go boxes We were given small boxes little brown boxes that was not enough, we looked ridiculous struggling putting all of our food into the containers read more

This place is located in downtown Oxnard and offers public street parking as well as a public parking lot next door. Came here on a Friday morning and we ordered the chai latte, the hot chocolate, chilaquiles and Tom's French toast. The French toast was really sweet and tasted very good. The chai latte and hot chocolate were both really delicious especially with the cold weather. The chilaquiles however weren't spicy at all, the sauce was very salty and didn't have much flavor to it. The rice was over cooked and was crunchy to bite. I was very disappointed with the chilaquiles especially since I had been craving them. The server was pleasant and service was fairly fast considering there weren't many people in the restaurant. Overall this place could be a hit or miss just depending on the meal you choose. However I would recommend the French toast and hot drinks! read more

The space is kinda weird, but the food is solid. My California carne burrito was HUGE! Bigger than my head. Couldn't finish it in one sitting. The chips that came with it were freshly fried, which I appreciated but there needed to be a little more of it because next to the burrito it felt like I was getting 4 chips. Good green sauce!! read more

Pretty good breakfast & lunch spot FOR OXNARD. Free WiFi inside. Great open spaced interior with modern wood design. Best not to sit by the window, as the Cafe sits right across from the Garcia Mortuary. I'm kinda uncomfortable with that kind of people watching. I keep thinking to myself, "i see dead people"... GOOSEBUMPS!!! Here, I personally would rather be distracted by the flatscreens firing away. Friendly staff. Lots to choose from their menu, so we sampled a few... CINNAMON ROLL ($5): Pretty big serving , warm & flavorful too! CHICKEN FRIED STEAK ($10.50): Not too thick a breading, and crisp. The steak cut is somewhat smallish & thin but still pretty tasty, not chewy. The gravy was not too greasy or creamy and complemented the steak well. Scrambled egg whites were not overly greasy. Perfectly crisped hash browns. ROBERT'S N.Y. STEAK & EGGS($13.50): 8oz. N.Y. Choicesteak and 2 eggs. Had egg whites for $1 extra. Steak was a little chewy but good flavor. CLASSIC BELGIAN WAFFLE ($6): Dense & doughy, no crispness to outer shell, fruit toppings are fresh, though, for a $1 extra. LUNCH SANDWICH SPECIAL ($8): Had cream of broccoli soup with Chicken salad sandwich. 1/2 sammie with toasted bread was delicious. Soup was not as creamy as was hoping, but still had good flavor to it. Decent Oxnard destination for lunch and breakfast. Didn't wait long for food to arrive. Service was attentive. Nothing to complain about here. Everything was A-OK. read more
