    I had the day off and was starving after running errands! I decided to sit at the bar and received the best service. Such kind staff. I got my usual - Denver Omelette ( sub bacon ) with sourdough bread and a dune coffee. The portion was huge . I literally had leftovers for two days . I felt like it was never ending! It was busy on a Friday but I feel it usually is. I didn't get corner cakes this time but next time for sure ! I love Art's ... it's color scheme and decor. Prices are reasonable and the quality is amazing !!!

    World Famous Cinnamon Roll!!!!

    We passed by on the weekend and there was a crowd waiting outside. We decided to try again early on Monday morning. Thank goodness, we got a table quickly. This is a quaint restaurant with a very friendly staff. We were first introduced to this lovely cafe last year on a visit to my daughter. We loved the food then, and were happy to make another visit. I had the cinnamon roll last time and again at this visit- to share with the table. I got the corner cakes this time. It was delish! I think I will make my visits here an annual occurrence. I'd like the frequency to be a higher number, however I live 2,500 miles away and an ocean apart.

    We brought our grand children and adult children for lunch... And we're pleasantly surprised!! The servers were efficient and very helpful! They worked well together and brought our food even when it was very busy. The restaurant was clean and there were seats available inside and outside. There were booths and table options. The bathrooms were clean as well. We will plan to be back!

    Everyone was very friendly. We were greeted with a smile. The front parking lot is small, but plenty of parking in the street. The restaurant was clean. Plenty of seating, however, they were busy I would try to get there earlier next time we go. Great menu. I have to come back for the chilaquiles and the mimosas. The Corner Cake was delicious (so good that my son that "wasn't hungry" ate most of it ) Fun event, great location.

    The food! The service! What an amazing experience we had. A little hard to find and parking can be an issue but it's well worth the effort. They were super busy when we arrived but we were seated and drinks served within 10 minutes. We loved Art's so much we came back the next day. 5 stars all the way! And it always feels good to support a small business

    A tasty chilaquiles... just brush the bizarre onions off to the side. Great hash browns too!

    A follow-up visit was nowhere as near as good as the first one. Brought the family, regrettably. Hash browns were either undercooked and greasy or over-panned to death to the point there were burnt. The biscuits underneath the country breakfast were abysmal. Sausage patty was also overcooked and burnt. As usual the Yang to my Yin presents its ugly head every second visit I go to any food establishment. The breakfast sandwich was good however but when you balance everything three stars is just about right and probably won't be back coming from so far just for this.

    Country Fried Steak

    Lovely patio seating made for great ambiance. The service was good. I got the country fried steak and didn't care for it...it didnt have much flavor. I mostly ate the toast that came with amaaaaazing jam/jelly! That stuff was fire! Friend didn't care much for her scramble. The chili verde was every ones favorite but it wasn't hitting the spot. This is a place we would come back for drinks. Huuuuuge mimosas.

    Breakfast Burger

    Came Saturday morning. While there was a long line, our party of 2 was seated immediately at the bar. The bar only has alcohol, no cold coffees unfortunately. Inside of the cafe is crowded and loud, but gorgeous. All of the staff seem happy to be there and are good at their jobs. Cinnamon roll - loved it! I loved how there were 0 firm parts, it was completely soft throughout. It's not the best cinnamon roll I've had in my life, but it was really good. It's on the lighter side when it comes to flavor, but I enjoyed that bc it doesn't make you feel sluggish . This cinnamon roll was a nice pick-me-up and was made with love! Breakfast burger - very juicy and quality ingredients but the meat itself was bland. Like it wasn't seasoned . Spicy Mexican Benedict- the hollandaise was good, but I'm hesitant to actually call it a hollandaise. It's an entirely new sauce. The chorizo was great. The o'brian potatoes were my favorite part. Overall a solid dish I'm not sure I'd return but I would come back for a takeout order of the cinnamon roll! This place is really nice but I think it would be better for drinks. They have an extensive breakfast cocktail menu and would make a great spot for those looking for some daytime drinks

    Cinnamon Roll
    Autumn B.

    I came to Art's specifically for their homemade cinnamon roll and it did not disappoint. The inside was oh so ooey gooey and the frosting had that quality homemade consistency - not the sometimes stale flakiness that you get elsewhere. Along with that I got a side of hash browns which wasn't anything special but still a good breakfast staple. Our waitress served us quickly and was very friendly. The inside and outside was super cute like modern diner vibes, and the colors were everything. They have an outdoor seating area which looked nice but it was pretty warm that day so we opted to sit inside. I love a good patio area though so I will definitely take advantage of that next time.

    I know this sounds crazy, but I had never been to this restaurant, even though it's just a short walk from my house. Now that I've been there, I'm so glad I finally went! The restaurant is much bigger than I imagined. The service was amazing; all the waitresses were incredibly attentive and helpful. The food was fantastic! My family and I ordered their corner cakes, waffles, chicken, kids' cheeseburger, and chicken strips with fries. I tried a little bit of everything, and it was all delicious. Another thing I'd like to mention is their generous portions! We could have ordered less food, but we enjoyed every bite.

    Biscuit, ordered at table next me. Looks Good!

    Comfortable clean inside, good variety menu selections. Coffee don't taste right....had weird aftertaste. Asked for flavor creamer to mask taste. Chile Verdr generous portion, meat tender, delicious. Asked for Soft scrambled eggs, was hard and dry. Rye toast excellent, w homemade raspberry jam, delicious not overly sweet. I ordered Soft Scrambled Eggs, gave me Hard Dry Eggs. Asked for replacement and it came perfectly soft scrambled, thanks. Not the server's fault. First time coming to Ventura from Los Angeles, Art's Corner came up on yelp search. Glad I came.

    Lovely ladies .. thanks again Stephanie

    Another really good time and great meal at Art's Corner Cafe My girlfriends and I got together for Valentine's Day brunch and mimosas Stephanie took really good care of us. A couple of the girls had never been there before, but I have a feeling they will be returning... Everything that could go right did go right

    Breakfast at Art's Corner Cafe in Ventura this morning with family and Benji My wife recommended this place, and I can see why she likes it We ordered the Chilaquiles, Famous Corner Cakes, Fried Chicken & Waffles, coffee, and fresh orange juice. If you like spicy food, I would definitely recommend ordering the red sauce for the Chilaquiles. The coffee was simple diner-style coffee, but honestly perfect for a cool Ventura morning. The orange juice tasted fresh and refreshing. The Famous Corner Cakes were thin, soft, and slightly crispy around the edges. The Fried Chicken & Waffles had crispy chicken with fluffy waffles, and the Chilaquiles were flavorful and filling with creamy avocado and eggs. The outdoor patio was dog-friendly and relaxing, which made the breakfast even better. Benji seemed to enjoy the outing too Nice local breakfast spot with friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere. Definitely a place I would come back.

    Is this place really closed forever? They said it was closing for good on October 16th? But I keep seeing ppl parked in the parking lot on the weekend....

    They have transitioned to the new ownership and are NOT closed at this time. They were closed for 5 days a few weeks ago before the sale was final to allow the staff some well deserved time off. They staff have all been working 6-7 days a week…

I ordered the maple bacon beignets and strawberry matcha pancakes (see my pics) for the table and we devoured it all. So good and definitely would order them again. I tried the ahi avocado roll, which came with grilled veggies and at least the ahi wasn't canned (see my pic). I'd be back to try other items on the menu. Cozy interior. Outside covered patio seating here too. We parked in a free lot, across the street and behind other businesses.

All to say, research where you wish to walk about, find a meter or free parking lot - enough around, and put on your good yet cute walking shoes because you'll enjoy strolling about after your meal here - or drink. FOOD: I sooo loved my grill cheese. Instead of mushrooms I swapped for spinach - you're welcome. AND THE PICKLE ON THE SIDE - delish! So why 4 and not 5? Because of my limited lifestyle I found the menu a bit limiting. However, I am not a HUGE cheese person and I don't drink. With that said, I feel anyone else who loves to indulge in that world should have a super great experience. Mine was still great. WELL: I actually enjoyed my time and shall return. My mother loves a good red wine so I'll bring her too.

    My favorite breakfast and lunch spot in Ventura!…read more At this point, I think I've tried everything on the menu! I've even gotten to the point of creating my own little custom breakfast by combining different side dishes! All the fruit is fresh, the salads and sandwiches are big enough to share, and the coffee is good enough to get one to go for an afternoon pick me up (they close at 2pm). I love the high quality ingredients they use, from the eggs to the produce, nothing is industriel or pre-made. There is a parking lot in back, but during the weekday it's easy to park on the street.

    This is the most joyous place - I'm in love!!…read more It's located in a business park. Street parking is easy. We checked in with the hostess and had a 15 minute wait. Once your seat is ready, you order at the counter and you get a number. The staff that took our order was awesome. Friendly, warm, high energy, and efficient. Our order came out in about 10-15 min. Water is self serve. Drip coffee- perfect and high quality. It tasted like Kona coffee! Lavender matcha- great and well balanced Japanese milk bread- this fell a tad short for me. I would've liked both sides to be seasoned/flavored. Japanese Milk bread is typically moist and fluffy , however this was a little dry likely due to the toasting of the bread. The color overall was lighter than expected. It's served with a berry sauce which is really yummy. Side of smashed potatoes- really good. Perfectly seasoned and ketchup tasted homemade Aussie meat pie- soooooo delicious! The crust was awesome and the meat was tender. We also loved the side salad because it had a little zing of lemon. A rare moment where a side salad is actually fantastic! Miso chicken katsu Sando- really loved this! The chicken breast is huge. As other reviews stated, it's not a typical chicken katsu. If you like honey, you'll like this. The honey sauce hits you on the front end and ends with a little acidity from the aioli and slaw. The sandwich was super juicy and flavorful. While large, it didn't feel heavy. Each bite got better and better. Brontë bowl - OUR FAVORITE!!!! Ok first off, I hate mushrooms with a passion, but I kept them in the order because they are curried and I knew theyre an essential part of the dish. They were awesome. I didn't mind them one bit. This dish does not need salmon, and if anything I think adding it would've been too salty. I naturally eat fast but this bowl makes you slow down because of the layers/elements. The sweetness of onions, the creaminess of the feta and avocado, the crunch from the seeds, the delicious pesto, the buttered bread, the perfectly poached eggs - UGH! So perfect! Everything had a purpose. I am obsessed with this bowl. It is so much more filling than you'd think. I could eat this everyday and I hope they never change it. Ambiance was great. We sat at the bar which felt spacious. The inside is gorgeous and just puts you in a good mood. The best thing about this place is the staff. Literally every single person we interacted with was amazing! Everyone here is friendly, warm, and just looks happy to be there. I can't wait to return!!!!!

Beach House Tacos (got grilled fish), nice pineapple salsa, tender fish, nice sauces and lettuce. Calamari Taco - fried calamari - fresh avocado and cabbage, nice sauce - chipotle. Marilu Taco with popcorn shrimp with nice chile lime crema, not too spicy. Even the fried seafood here is fresh, not very fried, just a tad, nice and crispy, but not greasy.

I smashed that thing and literally went right to sleep in my chair. What a perfect beach day thanks to Dukes. To add to my food experiences and recommendations here, the time before this, I ordered the fish and chips. In my case it was the fried fish and sweet potato fries. It was so flavorful and crispy. I highly recommend eating it there or hopefully near by so it doesn't lose that fresh crunch. However, you have to get any and all fries with their Ranch. I had to get extra as I couldn't seem to get enough. Obviously every fry needed to have a disgusting amount of ranch on it.
