    On a day trip to Ventura Oxnard our first off is going to be for breakfast. We found BJ's Café easily. It's a beautiful day in Oxnard, so we sat outside. I ordered the two eggs and hashbrowns with toast over easy. Service is friendly, the food was good, and with it being a nice day sitting outside was perfect. If you're looking for breakfast in Oxnard, give this place a try.

    A hidden gem! In the heart of old town/downtown Oxnard, parking is a little challenging on the street but there might be more in back? This is an incredible breakfast spot! But their menu is huge! And not just breakfast! My husband stumbled upon BG's a few weeks ago and just loved it! So... with great pride he took me here for breakfast and it was so good! The service was great, we were offered drinks right away (sadly they were out of orange juice) and after our drinks were brought out we sat for quite a while before anyone came to take our order. My husband had to actually make a point to say "we're ready". Honestly throughout our meal our server was very friendly and attentive. My reason for 4 stars and not 5 wasn't because of that but rather what they charged us for our 12 oz iced teas at $4 each. Way overpriced! BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse only charges $2.79. I also think $6 for a side of 2 fried eggs is a bit over the top. Just saying... I absolutely plan to come back and definitely recommend giving them a try!

    In Oxnard, CA driving up HWY 1 on a road trip. Stopped at BG's cafe for breakfadt and so glad we did. The place is warm and friendly. The service is fast friendly and professional. The food is fresh hot and tasty. I got the chorizo hash and eggs. It came with beans and choice of toast, English muffin ,biscuit, or tortillas. They also have award winning salsas. The verde salsa was my favorite. The French toast is made with thick French toast bread (not the thin stuff) It says it's dipped in orange vanilla batter but I didn't taste orange or vanilla. It came with bacon or sausage and 2 eggs. We chose sausage links which were plump and juicy. Overall a very nice experience.

    Veggie Omelette

    My husband and I love this place and have been going there for breakfast for years. It has the old diner kind of feelings and the staff has remained the same for year too. The food is consistently delicious. The owner, Jose, takes pride in helping the staff and also welcoming his customers, so we feel like family going there. Angie, our waitress, has our breakfast ordered memorized, and even now that we moved away and only go there when we are in town, still remembers. I always have the egg white veggie omelette, with sautéed spinach, onions, mushrooms and fresh jalapeños, perfectly seasoned. Inhaven't found a better omelette since we moved. We highly recommend going in and try it for yourselves.

    Classic eggs and bacon with a side of Avocado and Diner coffee!!

    I can't believe that in all the time I've been coming to Oxnard for work, I've never stopped by BG's cafe. This is your quintessential local's diner. Classic breakfast and lunch offerings among other things. However they cater to the locals, lots of mexican breakfast options, and you can choose tortilla as side instead of your typical toast options. Today was a breakfast kind of day. Bacon, eggs and coffee. Not pictured was a side of salsa they brought me that really kicked the whole meal up a notch. For a Monday this place was packed, but I didn't wait long for a table. The service is great, everyone was very attentive and food came out hot and fast. ! The inside is cozy. The walls decorated with old photos of the city and surrounding areas, random knick knacks sit on shelves as if you're in someone's grandma's house. One thing that made me exceptionally happy is that there is lots of booth seating. Even the tables in the middle of the room have booth seats. Classic and no fuss. This place has definitely made it to my list for go to diners next time I'm in this area.

    Oatmeal Combo

    We didn't want a big breakfast due to an event we would be attending. I love oatmeal and so that's what I ordered. It was creamy and delicious! The locals seem to love this place and I can see why. Staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant looks like a hole in the wall but it's not, very deceiving. It can accommodate a good amount of customers

    One of the must try if you're ever in downtown Oxnard. This restaurant has been around so long, you can see cool historical artifacts and photos here. Food is always flavorful, never need to add much to your plate. They have a variety in the menu and look for their specials as it's not on the menu. Service is friendly. There's plenty parking in the back if you have trouble finding a slot in the front.

    Pozole verde special
    Rene R.

    I've come to BGs and had delicious food before but this last time was lackluster. I hate giving bad reviews but this is just for the dish and not the restaurant itself. Waitress was nice and attentive. Cafe was bustling for a Sunday morning. Just this pozole was no bueno. The broth was very thick. My mom complained that her chile verde was not servers HOT, just warm. Hoping next time will be better!

    Despite the rainy weather, this spot was worth the drive. Started the visit with nice warm tasty coffee & hot chocolate. The server was friendly and attentive. Our plates took a little time and the coffee was refilled while we waited. The french toast touched with orange and vanilla was delightful. The ham steak & eggs was good. The biscuit & gravy was delicious with butter or gravy. Overall great small family style restaurant with traditional menu, warm atmosphere, and friendly service. Check it out!

    Chorizo Omelette, country potatoes, biscuit, gravy and coffee.
    Ealeen B.

    This place doesn't disappoint me every chance I come here. It has that typical Mom n Pop local cafe settings. I come here for omelets, biscuits and gravy. Their price has gotten higher but what hasn't. Today, I had Chorizo omelet with country fried potatoes, biscuit and a side of gravy. I also had a decaffeinated coffee. The whole meal including the tax is $25.00. Their portion is big so I can only eat almost half of the servings. Their food tasted like they are home cooked. The biscuit is bready which I like and the gravy is not overpowering. They make their own chorizo. Presentation is good. Until my next visit but this place is highly recommended.

Busy location putting out delicious…read moresandwiches, parking can be a challenge because it is right behind Community Memorial Hospital so you enter from the parking not from Loma Vista Street. Friendly efficient staff greeting all who walk through their door. Sandwiches were incredible, no skimping on Boars Head meats or ingredients and you get your moneys worth. Has some sit down dining inside but a great place to order ahead and pick up while you head to the beach. This is a must try and can't wait to go back and try some of the other great sanqweeches featured on the menu. Grazie Ventura Sandwich Co delizioso e tutti! Mangiamo

My biggest issue is the wait time and the overall organization of getting orders out. Even when it doesn't seem very busy, it can still take a long time. I've even called ahead before and still ended up waiting after arriving. I completely understand that a popular sandwich shop gets busy, but I do think the ordering and pickup system could be improved. Today was especially frustrating. I waited about 45-50 minutes for my order, only to find out my sandwiches had accidentally been given to an older gentleman who had only ordered pickles. He apparently heard me say my name and ended up taking my sandwiches. Mistakes happen, and I'm not mad at anyone personally, but after waiting that long, it was definitely disappointing. My main issue isn't even the mistake itself. It's the amount of time lost. Time is money, but more importantly, time is a resource we can never get back. I basically lost close to an hour because the pickup process wasn't organized enough to make sure the right order went to the right person. I'll absolutely be back because the food is that good. I just hope they can tighten up the system for taking orders and handing them out. Amazing sandwiches, but the delivery and pickup process definitely needs some work.

We had a group of about 12 girls, and they had all of our coffees ready in less than 30 minutes. Every single drink was amazing. I ordered the dulce de leche coffee, which was perfectly sweet and the baristas recommendation. My friend's pistachio latte was honestly one of the best coffee drinks I've ever tasted, and the chaggacino was just as delicious. Not one person in our group had a bad drink. The staff was so kind, especially the sweet Korean gentleman who helped us. He completely turned our mood around after we missed our train. I also loved that they use organic ingredients. If you're ever at the Oxnard train station, stop here. We left with great coffee, a better mood, and a new favorite coffee shop.
