I think by now we all know Cajé Coffee Roasters is a fan favorite in Downtown Ventura...but if you don't, now you know! This seriously addicting coffee shop, which started in Santa Barbara, has been a Ventura favorite for quite some time now, and it's been so fun watching them grow. Nestled in a charming converted cottage, this cozy café is the perfect addition to Downtown Ventura. When I stopped by over the weekend, they were insanely busy so I wasn't able to capture much of the space itself for photos but I can promise you it's a cute spot. We opted for outside table dining and it was lovely. To order you stand in line and then order at the counter, they'll bring the food back to your table, but they will call you up to grab your drinks. We ordered a couple of iced lattes and their famous Bella Rose - iced matcha, which was absolutely gorgeous and just as delicious. 10/10. Their drinks are truly little works of art and always worth ordering. To finish off brunch, we grabbed a couple of bagels. One of my favorites is their toasted bagel with tomato, avocado, and cream cheese, it's simple and so satisfying. Next time I'll be trying one of their fruit bowls. The staff here are absolute rockstars. They crank out drink after drink with a smile on their faces while keeping the atmosphere welcoming and fun. We always love stopping by, and if you haven't been yet, consider this your sign to check them out and support a fantastic local business. read more

I'm still dreaming about the iced honey latte with house-made macadamia whipped cream. I also had the toast with almond butter, banana, berries, bee pollen and edible flowers. Epic. I'll be stopping here every time I'm driving through. The employees are friendly and helpful. Parking is a little rough but not impossible. read more

A hidden gem with such a beautiful, calming ambiance. The setting feels like a quiet escape--white arches, soft textures, and just the right amount of sunlight filtering through. It's the kind of place you actually want to slow down in. The drinks were just as impressive as the atmosphere. Thoughtfully crafted, visually stunning, and balanced in flavor--not overly sweet, just right. You can tell there's attention to detail in every glass. Service was warm and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. It didn't feel rushed or transactional--more like you're meant to sit, enjoy, and stay awhile. Definitely one of those spots you come back to, not just for the coffee, but for the whole experience. read more

Caje Coffee Roasters - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Ventura, California

This cute little coffee shop was definitely worth the visit. A small menu but lots to choose from, my friend and I both grabbed a blueberry matcha with almond milk and she got a bagel on the side (to go). The matcha was great, a little sweet but not overly sweet. My friend also said the bagel was pretty good with fresh ingredients. Service was great, barista was friendly, a little bit of a wait but it was pretty busy when we stopped by. Inside to order/wait is a very small space, so be prepared if there's a bunch of ppl ahead of you. There was a small bar to the right of the counter to sit at, inside had a few tables but the patio out front was huge! Parking lot is really small, I do suggest just parking on the street and walk over. read more

Commenting again on inviting ambience at this Caje. Even when it becomes more crowded, you can still carry easy conversation with friends as most of the seats are outdoors and this street is off Main St, so not as heavy foot traffic. This is one of the coziest and homey feeling cafes in Ventura. Generally there are enough tables that you would find seating. The one time I couldn't is when I came on Saturday early afternoon for the Farmers market and every table was taken. Generally you order at register, and the system seems a little confusing, But they'll call out your espresso based drinks. If you order food you get a Table # and someone will bring your food. But I also saw they delivered smoothies. So not sure if you can wait at your table for any drink or if you have to wait at the coffee bar to get your drink because it's hard to hear your name called if you sit outside. I did hear them using a PA system as needed. Still A+ recommendation. One day I'll have to try Ten Tigers Happy hour (which is this location after 4pm) read more

Caje in Ventura is such a beautiful spot--easy to settle into with tons of seating both indoors and outdoors and a really dreamy vibe overall. I got the Bella Rose, and it was so yummy. Definitely on the sweeter side for a matcha, but the flavor was perfect and the presentation was gorgeous. Just note: it's for-here only, so no taking it to go. I also tried the West Side Bagel, which was really good. Drinks did take a bit longer to come out compared to the food, but everything tasted great, so it was worth the wait. A perfect place to relax and enjoy something a little extra. read more

Great place!!! Good vibes. Lots of seating, inside and out. Employees are really nice. I had the chai latte and it was excellent. It's one of the few places that actually makes their own chai concentrate. I highly recommend. read more

I've been a fan of Cajé since my Santa Barbara days, back when the Haley Street location was part of my regular routine. I always stick to my usual order: a Works bagel on everything and an iced vanilla latte. Their specialty lattes are very popular, but I keep it simple and honestly never get tired of this combo. When I heard Cajé was opening in downtown Ventura, I was ecstatic. The space is beautiful, with a spacious patio veranda that works for everyone, families, college students, and anyone looking for a relaxed place to hang out. It's a great spot to catch up on emails, read a book, or meet a friend without feeling rushed. WiFi is provided, and there are outlets available inside to charge devices. Parking can be limited in the back, so I usually park at the free public lot behind Coalition. Not a big deal since it's very close by. I often stop here during the week when I'm heading to nearby thrift stores. Weekends tend to be busier, so expect longer wait times. The staff is friendly, service is quick, the food is consistent, and the overall vibe is welcoming. Counter service is open daily from 7am to 3pm, and in the evening the space transforms into the dinner restaurant, Ten Tigers. read more

I absolutely love coming to Caje. It's so cute. Love the outdoor seating. They do also have indoor seating for those who prefer that. The workers are always nice when I have gone which is always a plus. They do have drinks they only serve if you are staying. My go too is The Burnout. It's so good. I have also tried the Bella Rosa and their honey lavender latte. Both are also good. I tend to always get one of their toasts as well. Love the bread they use. It's nice and soft. Love how they top the toast off with what they are serving it with so every bite is delicious. This location is in downtown so there is street parking and parking lots. Love this location. Have brought people with me and they fall in love with it as much as I have. read more

I've had this place on my list for a while and finally made it in--and I'm glad I did. It's a cute, vibey spot that's perfect for a good cup of coffee and some solid avocado toast. There's seating inside and outside, and the egg swings outside are such a fun touch. I ordered the avocado toast and one of their popular iced coffees. The baby tomatoes on the toast were chef's kiss--simple but so good. I heard this place turns into a dinner spot/bar at night, and now I definitely want to come back and see what the nighttime vibe is like. read more

One of my fav cafes in ventura! It's at the end of Main Street, but can be the perfect beginning to venture downtown Ventura! There's a great selection of coffee, tea, & baked goods to enjoy with plenty of seating inside & out. It's about ~$20/person if you order a drink & small bite. Caje definitely offers the aesthetic and flavor. read more

Discovering coffee shops in Santa Barbara is so much fun! Heading down back home to LA we found Caje and all around it's such a peaceful cute little shop. The decor is beautiful! Service was great! I've read lots of reviews about their bagels and definitely want to come back to try. :) I got the honey lavender latte and my bf got their hot coffee. I will say the coffee is pretty sweet so I would recommend cutting the amount of sweetener in half. Otherwise everything is so good! read more

Caje Coffee Roasters - Regular hot coffee + lavender honey latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Ventura, California

The coffee here is consistently excellent and you can tell they actually care about the beans and the craft, not just churning out drinks. I ordered a latte and it was smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet or bitter. The espresso really shines on its own, which says a lot. The vibe is another big win. It's clean, modern, and relaxed without feeling pretentious. Great spot to sit and work for a bit, meet a friend, or just enjoy a quiet moment with a really good cup of coffee. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to make recommendations if you're not sure what to order. Bonus points for roasting their own beans and offering solid pastries too. Everything feels intentional and well done. read more

Such a cute spot so close to the beach! Parking is tight and it's small inside, but the outdoor seating makes up for it. I loved my honey lavender latte, perfectly lavendery! My husband enjoyed his caramel latte too, though he said it tasted more like burnt caramel candy and was pretty milky. Still a solid stop for the location and vibe! read more

Stopped by after lunch nearby to get matcha. I had this place bookmarked for a while so when I found myself parked right by it I thought to give it a try. Very beautiful cafe with lots of outdoor and indoor seating. Ascetically very beautiful with good vibes. The drinks are unique and beautifully presented. I enjoyed the Bella Rose ..iced matcha latte. Perfectly made ... loved it. My son and I sat down outside porch and enjoyed our matcha. They also have bagels and toasts. They all looked good. Next time I'll try one since we had just eaten. Customer service for friendly. Overall a great spot to hang out, have coffee or eat brunch. read more

My favorite breakfast place in Ventura! The bagels are incredible. I highly recommend the west side bagel even if you don't usually like salmon on your bagel. There's lots of indoor or outdoor seating but it tends to get busy on the weekends. During the week, you can 'work from home' here while you enjoy some coffee. Great music, great food, and great view too. read more

This is an absolutely charming coffee house which apparently doubles as a restaurant and/or bar (Ten Tigers) of sorts at night. You can tell that someone took a lot of time and care to decorate this place. It is beautiful both inside and out. There is also seating inside and out. My guess is this was a residential house at some point and it feels like you are hanging at someone's delightfully decorated home. It is bright and airy and welcoming. The coffee drinks were very well made. The avocado toast was made with thick delicious bread and plenty of avocado and was delicious. The very high ratings are entirely justified here. read more

Caje Coffee Roasters - Nasty burnt coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Ventura, California

Over priced matcha latte! When you order a matcha latte that's already $7.50 it should include the milk whether it's dairy or nondairy. I asked for half the matcha they normally add & oat milk & it cost me $9.15. Ridiculous!! I tried to ask about the extra shot charge the young help was clueless. What do you mean by half of the matcha ‍ All the other mom & pop local coffee places include the milk with the price. It's really hard to support local when they gouge you on the price. I get making a profit & overhead, but come on.. read more

Doesn't matter if you're visiting this spot day or night - it's always a good time. Daytime blesses us with Caje and their excellent coffee while night time gives us Ten Tigers. It gives rustic farm vibes with the open patio seating whether visiting rain or shine - I feel the comfy coziness. I visited on a weekday morning and ordered a hot Vanilla Latte and a Westside Bagel - both excellent and I felt satisfied making me wish I ordered a larger latte. It was a busy but I received my order with promptness. I was able to work remotely on my laptop looking up to watch people come and go. read more

This place is one of my absolute favorites to stop in whenever I'm in town. The ambience is absolutely gorgeous, the people are super friendly, and the drinks are wonderful. I just don't think you can go wrong ordering anything here. I've had the Matcha green tea latte, which is absolutely perfect. All types of versions of their ice tea, which is absolutely tasty and wonderful. If they even make their own nut milk. This is one of those places where I love to grab a drink and just relax. The environment is so wonderful, that I just want to order multiple items, and enjoy some time with friends. read more

What a cute location! It's got a bungalow feel, lots of open seating for both enjoying your coffee, brunch or remote working. They make their own almond milk so I opted in for an iced caramel latte and iced caramel matcha because they melt the caramel into the drink so it tastes really good. The Avo toast is really good. It has avocado, red cherry tomato's, sprouts, red pepper and toasted focaccia bread. It's enough to split with your partner. If you order the house drinks, they come out super fancy but I stuck with what I like already. The service is good, they're super fast, knowledgeable, fun and funny! The cashiers make you feel at home when you're here. You might have a laugh while you're ordering. read more

Came here to grab brunch while also wanting to work, but it was busy when we arrived. It's self seating after you order, and there's ample seating outdoors and indoors but most of the people seating inside were also working on their laptops. The specialty drinks are only for dine-in, but there's other drinks and food you can order if you want to take it to-go. We got lucky with parking and found a spot on the street, but we noticed that the area where this restaurant is located is a busy area so parking might be difficult to find. Bella Rose (3.5/5): This matcha drink is beautiful to look at. The taste itself is not bad, but the matcha flavor wasn't as strong as I'd like it to be. Burn Out (6/5): This drink was the absolute best! It was so good that we wanted to order more from the specialty drinks menu (cue the Jupiter's Forest) because we thought it'd be just as good as this drink. The coffee was amazing but I really loved the salted rim. The presentation is also beautiful. Cortado (3/5): This bagel was okay, but nothing special. I wish it had some sort of protein on it, as it was just bagel, cream cheese, pesto and tomato. It was light and refreshing. Coast Toast (3/5): This toast is pretty basic, as it's just nut butter, banana, blueberry and some chia seeds on top. Those combination never goes wrong and they all pair well together, but it didn't stand out to me. Jupiter's Forest (4/5): We ordered this drink because the Burn Out was so good that we wanted to try another drink on the specialty drinks menu. This drink was good, again the presentation is beautiful. The coffee was pretty strong, but there is a sugar rim on the side of the glass. Overall, I'd come here to get their drinks (specifically the Burn Out) and just work or read a book. It's a beautiful space and the staff was friendly. Definitely recommend checking this place out! Next time I'd like to try their acai bowls. read more

Okay, this place is a vibe! It feels like a beach house that is a cafe in disguise. I found this place on social media and wow do their drinks look pretty! We sat outside because it was such a nice day outside. We got the Jupiters Forest and Bella Rose for the specialty drinks. I think the drinks are decent. The Jupiters Forest tasted sort of like tequila to me even though it didn't have any alcohol. It was pretty bitter and I didn't really taste much of the creaminess from the oatmilk. The drink was super aesthetically pleasing though. The Bella rose was okay too. I like it more than the Jupiter drink. The specialty drinks are definitely picture worthy, but the taste just isn't as great as what it looks like. Nevertheless, I would come back again to try out their food and maybe try another drink on the menu. read more
