Little overpriced but makes up for it in a wonderful atmosphere and kind, attentive staff. I have had nothing but good experiences here both as a solo diner chatting with the staff, and with my family (it's a relief to go somewhere where it doesn't feel like kids are unwelcome). The food is quintessentially california, with a mashup of unexpected flavors and cuisines. read more

I actually really loved my lunch experience at Highly Likely, with the exception of a few flies that were around inside the building which I really dislike when eating inside. But aside from that, the food was delicious. I ordered their good turkey sando and it did not disappoint - the flavors were so tasty for a turkey sandwich and the pickles they came with were amazing! Also I got a chocolate chip cookie and it was not only enormous but so rich and chocolatey and salty but in the best way. I really liked it here and would love to come back! read more

Came here after missing brunch hours at the golf course nearby which ended way earlier than normal (we actually got there well before then but had to be waited to be seated but anywayy..) Food here was amazing and the service and workers I would say even better. Super cute spot for a date or if you just wanna hang out and still see the mountains of Ojai all around cuz they got big windows everywhere. Nothing but good things to say about this place so check them out. You won't be disappointed read more

This was was our on restaurant list for Ojai and we finally got to try it out. The outdoor seating was nice and refreshing! I got the Chicken Caesar Wrap and Matcha Latte. The wrap was delicious, but the chicken was pretty dry. I couldn't finish the second half of my wrap because of that. The matcha was honestly more milk than matcha. I actually had to ask for a side of vanilla syrup to pour in, but ended up making it sweet than I'd like. Service was great! I loved the outdoor seating because the big tree in the middle also provided some shade. Overall, it's a nice place to have brunch! I'd probably look at different menu items though. read more

Great breakfast burrito! The spot we originally wanted to try was closed so I finally took Highly Likely off my list of places to try and I was so pleasantly surprised with how much we enjoyed our meal. While at the playground, I ordered my meal online for pickup (mom tip!) and within 20min it was ready for us. We got 2 breakfast burritos with bacon and a piña colada matcha. The burrito was an explosion of flavors quite literally with their inclusion of mini cherry tomatoes. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. Love the spice the burrito has as well. The matcha was good. Nicely balanced and not too overpowering with their piña colada flavoring. For dessert, we tried their miso chocolate chip cookie and that also was a pleasant sweet treat. The location is very nice and I look forward to dining in soon. read more

Highly likely is that special place with amazing food, drinks and people that feels just right! A definite winner on all fronts. We decided to walk through Ojai and take in some great sights, fresh air and of course get in some healthy steps. Well, we stumbled upon Highly Likely and spoke with the hostess about viewing the menu and she gave us two menus and was quite kind. We decided to sit at the bar. That's where we met Jessica and Adrian, the dynamic duo. What amazing individuals. Carli also provided assistance and you could feel genuine love and caring hearts that not only enjoy their positions but truly love people. Ofcourse we were not familiar with the menu and Adrian helped me with my selection of chiliquiles with grilled chicken and Jessica helped my wife with her egg breakfast plate. Carli brought out our drinks as my wife had a great tasting cappuccino and I had an Americano. Both drinks were fantastic. Adrian and Jessica also helped me as I asked for cranberry juice which they don't carry although better yet they both recommended the hibiscus lemon spritzer juice. It was so good and refreshing. We also had some great conversations with both Adrian and Jessica which we truly enjoyed. I must say the staff here are phenomenal and so authentic and genuinely kind. We just loved our meals and the way these amazing individuals make you feel so welcomed and like family. Everything was beyond great. This is a very popular place and the outdoor patio and adjacent boutique are added bonuses. We will certainly be back for more good food and good times! Highly recommended read more

Great cafe in Ojai. We went for breakfast but you can also get lunch. There were quite a lot of people there and by the time we left there were at least 10 people waiting. The food came out fairly quick and tasted really good. My burrito was on point. My wife had the avocado toast which hit the spot. We also had a side Halloumi which is not typically something you often see in a restaurant. The service was a little bit slow initially but picked up quickly. Everybody was nice and very helpful. The cafe is nice, my only complaint was that it was a bit cold in there due to the AC being on full blast. Will we go back next time we go to Ojai? Highly Likely! read more

While I enjoy the Kale Salad in principle, the execution is very unreliable, making me second guess the choice to go to Highly Likely. It's as if the same ingredient list has been given to different kitchens but without further instruction. I've had it three times and the type of kale (Lacinato vs. curly), ratio of kale to other bases (cabbage and arugula), volume of crispy quinoa and dill (they should nix the latter altogether), adequacy of dressing coverage and amount of butternut squash are all highly variable and it's highly likely the meal won't live up to memory or expectation. It's a solid dish but I wish I could count on the ideal preparation, not a lesser facsimile. Consistency is difficult for a restaurant and this place should focus on it given how excellent they can be if reliable. read more

3.5 I'll round up to a 4 because I do recommend Highly Likely. The good: Turkey Sando Fries Kind staff The bad: Service on a Sunday at 11 am was sooo incredibly slow. Our server disappeared by the end of our meal. They advertise "eggs how you like 'em" but didn't offer poached, which was how we like them ha. read more

Came here for brunch on a day trip to Ojai with my mom. We came on a Saturday with no reservation and were able to be seated immediately. We chose to sit indoors but they also have outdoor seating that was available to sit immediately. Highly Likely is located in a plaza with a bunch of parking availability so you don't have to worry about that. Service was quick and fast and I loved the decor of this place! Matcha Latte 3/5, this was just okay, I think I would opt for another drink if I returned Maple Leaf 3/5, my mom got this and also voted it was just okay and that she couldn't taste the coconut that's supposed to be present Sesame Waffle 3.5/5, was this a good waffle? Yes! Was it especially unique like I was expecting given its sesame nature with miso butter? No :( the waffle itself was good! I really could not taste any major sesame tones but the miso butter was nice and unique Tuna Melt 4/5, my mom got this and liked the small spice from the Korean gochujang read more

So, it took 9 months for my husband to agree to giving Highly Likely another chance. We are both glad that we did! They seem to have worked the kinks out. Service was quick and everyone working was quite friendly. I got the turkey sandwich which comes on this delicious, robust seeded bread. The prune mostarda added a nice sweetness to the sandwich. It came with a side of beets (I hate beets) which were so pickled that I actually really liked them! My husband got the bodega sandwich which was so flavorful! The side of fries were done to perfection. Glad that we can add this restaurant into our rotation! read more

Highly Likely is such a beautiful new spot -- bright, stylish, and thoughtfully designed with plenty of seating and free Wi-Fi, making it the perfect place to grab coffee, enjoy a great meal, or get some work done in a relaxed setting. We ordered the burger and the falafel plate, and both were fantastic. The burger was perfectly cooked -- juicy, flavorful, and balanced -- while the falafel bites were light, crispy, and paired perfectly with the pesto on the plate. The matchas were also amazing, especially the passionfruit matcha topped with their cold foam -- refreshing, unique, and just sweet enough. Everything we tried was delicious, and the space itself has such a welcoming energy. Can't wait to come back. read more

Went for dinner. The food was just ok. The bolognese was too salty and the pasta was overcooked. The chicken was on the dry side and overcooked. Service was very friendly and the food was served quickly. Portions way small for prices charged. This is a new way to charge more without raising prices. Dissatisfied, but the ambiance is nicely done... modern and understated. Patio seating is great. Perhaps the breakfast is their strongest value. Will we come back? not likely. read more

HIGHLY LIKELY!!! What can I say! I absolutely loved my dinner here, and Jessica was the BEST SERVER EVER! Truthfully made my busy work day so worth it at the end. The service was amazing, my food was incredible (salmon crudo I'll miss you so much), and my day in Ojai was so enjoyable because of this. I hope to come back soon! Please come to this location. I'm based in Los Angeles, but this restaurant truthfully is worth the 1+hr drive out. I loved every minute being here!! read more

Got their KISS (Keep it Simple Salad) which was actually surprisingly light and delicious. Nice citrusy flavor without overwhelming, good amount of parm and crunchy croutons. I had their Chagaccino iced which was so excellent and refreshing on a hot summer day. My friend got some oatmilk matcha drink with cold foam which I don't remember the name of now. That was also delicious! The banana matcha cocktail was skippable. It sounded so delicious but ended up tasting just kind of cough syrup-y. Also the sesame waffle with miso butter was rather dry and the miso butter just tasted like regular butter. Service was great though and the outdoor patio area had a beautiful view of the mountains! Great ambiance! read more

My friend, who is from Ojai, took me to this restaurant and I loved it. First, lovely ambiance. The service was good and friendly. They have outdoor seating Suitable for couples, families, and groups of friends. At the first visit, I ordered a Lavender Honey Latte. I ordered an Iced latte, but they gave me a hot one. I didn't mind, so I had it, but they gave me an iced one later when they noticed it. The second time, I ordered a Good Turkey Sando, which was delicious. The pickles on the side reminded me of Japanese pickles. I could taste the good quality of all the materials. Please note that they only accept card payments. I didn't mind it because I always pay with a credit card. . This restaurant is conveniently located near the Westridge Midtown Market, allowing you to stop by after your grocery shopping. Parking is in front of the restaurant. read more

First time I came, service was great. Second and third service was lacking. Breakfast burrito is good. Pickled carrots and cauliflower taste like white vinegar, adding some aromatics could help. I've gotten the bodega sando. 1st was great 2nd time was lacking. The server was confused on how the eggs were prepared and kept asking me how I wanted them after telling her I'd take it as is from the menu. 2nd time I was unimpressed, released it was just a potato hamburger bun with scrambled egg and the sauce that comes on it 2nd time just tasted like salt. Egg to bun ratio was off. It was too much bun not enough egg. Their drip coffee is not my favorite. It has a strong sour berry taste. First visit service was great and we got refills on our coffee promptly. 2nd time drip coffees took longer than our food to come out and no refills were offered. Servers were standing around but we were unable to get their attention despite sitting at the bar. Atmosphere is nice. Will most likely try a few more things on the menu. read more

Food was amazing! Our server Jessica was awesome and made us feel welcome and was so warm! The restaurant was so cute and coming at sunset was so pretty! We sat outside and the weather was perfect! We got the yuzu deviled eggs and salmon crudo to start and to say they were delicious is an understatement. For entrees we got the seedy schnitzel, the branzino, and the bucatini beet arabbiatta. Would definitely return and recommend to anyone visiting Ojai. read more

Such a cute and comfortable cafe! They have a good sized parking lot with indoor and outdoor seating, a bar and nice cushy booths. The style of this place is so chic and modern. They have a good range of food to choose from. Sandwiches and bowls and breakfast and classics like fish and chips and chicken fingers. I really loved my chicken! That's the god tier of chicken breading, very crispy with juicy insides. Comes with 3 sauces!!!! Sauces are the way to my heart and Kat got me. Hot honey is in right now and it was perfectly sweet and spicy. The yizu aioli was bright and creamy and the classic ketchup too! I had plenty of dip for all my needs! If i lived near this place, I'd be here every week, but i was visiting a friend in the area. She'll be back. She got a bowl and thought it was good but too soupy and not like a dry rice The service was friendly and the line moves pretty quickly. When i was waiting for my food, kat, who was on top chef most recently can't by to check on me and handled it like a pro. It was such a comfy place to have a good lunch. read more

The service was super friendly and attentive. We walked in on a busy Sunday midday and the host made use a reservation for 15 min later. The wait staff were super upbeat and helpful. We had a matcha lemonade with coconut cold foam- unique and delicious! I had the hippy Crunchwrap- the crispy rice was great, and the broccoli and carrots were crunchy - I didn't notice any avocado in my wrap(which was disappointing) and it could have had more tahini and more chili crunch - but overall it was tasty. My friend had the kale salad with fried chicken added--she said it was fantastic especially the chicken. I was really impressed with the staff and Love the changes made to restaurant- the outdoor space looks amazing! The coffee drinks and the cocktails looked amazing- Will have to try them next time! read more

what a wonderful place in town! my mom and i decided on the Steak Frites & Seedy Schnitzel and it was absolutely delicious. We also got a side of the fries and garlic bread that was perfect as bites between the main food. we ended the night with crème brûlée and the vanilla + olive oil ice cream. our server, Kristina, was extremely kind, attentive and quick. we were served promptly, but felt no rush to order and overall just felt the kindness. Tara, the woman who greeted and seated us was also extremely kind and made us feel extremely welcomed. this place is very cozy, and everyone is very kind, we won't hesitate to return. read more

Very very cute location. They have indoor and outdoor seating and both areas were so cute we couldn't decide where to sit! We were greeted immediately by every single staff member which was so nice. We just came in for a small bite and a little Matcha after driving over to Ojai before we have dinner plans. This was the perfect stop! I got the passionfruit Matcha, which was phenomenal. Matcha and passionfruit are both of my favorite flavors and they mix so well together neither was overwhelming or overpowering, I could taste both. We also got a regular iced Matcha latte, which was also delicious. The fries were perfectly crispy. The deviled eggs were really delicious. They had a nice little kick to them with what tasted like a Yuzu sauce that went so well with the spice! Theu are also connected to a store that was very cute too! So while we were waiting we got to look around which was fun! Great experience and will for sure be coming back to try more things and get another passion fruit matcha!! Came here again the next day because I couldn't stop thinking about the passion fruit matcha and it was even better here! Grant made our experience so wonderful! He gave us great recommendations of what to get here and helped us with other places in Ojai to visit! Thank you to Grant for making our experience so wonderful!! read more

Absolutely loved coming here for breakfast! Ordered the breakfast burrito with sausage and breakfast sando. Both were very good but the breakfast burrito was my favorite.

They also have plenty of patio seating in the back which is great. Would totally come back! read more

I am highly likely to return. The fish and chips were very unique, unlike any I have had. Spiced with Cajun seasoning, crispy, and delicious. The batter was very special, having an extra crunch unheard of when describing this dish in most critic corners. I would highly recommend the fries as well. With the same spice, completing perfectly. This contemporary twist on a European classic makes highly unlikely, highly regarded, remembered, and a must visit. read more

Service was not the greatest. The sever sat us down and just got us waters. Came back and asked what we would like to have, even though 2/3 of our party was not there.

Order before you grab a seat. The cashier was helpful and offered recommendations from their unique take on classic brunch food. Recommend the Chilaquiles, breakfast sandwich and passionfruit Matcha.

We've been here 5+ times now and the first 2 times were great with service and food was excellent. Last few times the service was inconsistent. Some servers are great and others seem to be very spaced out. Food has been different each time as well such as different porpotions of ingredients in dishes. Today the kale in the Kyoto bowl was not sauted and just plopped on top of the bowl. My wife just ended up pulling it out and not eating it. Also, we weren't greeted for about 15 minutes and then no acknowledgement either of the wait once we were greeted we only saw the server one other time when she came over to tell us she was taking her break and someone else would be taking care of us. The other girl who helped us toward the end was definitely nice and attentive. One thing to note which at the end of the day is what it is... The kids cheese burger is $15 and add a gluten free bun to that and it comes out to $19. For a kids meal that's pretty wild. We're used to the upcharge on gluten free options seeing as we have two kids who don't do well with gluten so I'm not surprised by it, it just might be a good idea to add that upcharge for GFO to the kids menu (not that we would have not ordered the GF option, but I think menu price and upcharges should always be very transparent on a menu). But yeah, $19 for a kids burger... And it says it comes plain and the server reiterated that too but it came with lettuce for some reason. My kids didn't mind it at all but this was another sign to us that there are some inconsistencies here in the kitchen. Also, I really dislike leaving negative reviews as I managed and worked in restaurants for years in my younger days. But nowadays, I feel like the price point for a full service meal that restaurants are asking consumers to be okay with warrants an honest review. read more
