    AMAZING DONUTS! So good I ate 5! The service was spectacular and the line went by so fast. The ambiance was just wonderful and had a positive vibe.

    Legit the best donut shop in Ventura! What makes this the best spot is number 1 the owners who are always there happy and smiling to serve you. They offer the standard array of your favorites and always have plenty of every option you whatever your craving they always have on hand. They're fresh and tasty and paired with a nice warm cup of coffee makes it even better! There are boba drinks, blended coffee drinks and warm breakfast sandwiches as well!! Stop by and give Russell's the love they have earned and deserve!

    Just going to say it, the BEST donuts shop in Ventura. This cute quaint shop minutes from downtown Main Street. A family own shop that offers freshly made donuts , sandwiches, smoothies and great coffee drinks. The donuts are made fresh daily so you know that whatever you have is fresh. Not like other shops that will offer day old item as fresh. This place is legit amazing. The breakfast croissant sandwiches are amazing. Huge portion and very reasonable. Their cold drinks are great as well. Everything made to order. Staff are the sweetest which keeps the locals coming back for more. Today, there was line which is pretty normal. It does move fast. Plus social distancing is key factor. I have and always make an point to stop here whenever I'm passing by. Like before, the best donuts in Ventura.

    Breakfast at 8AM with a smile.

    Breakfast with a smile. The breakfast sandwiches are a ton better than anything you can get at mickeyDs. The man and woman running the shop works fast to please every customer. I've been going there regularly for the past few months and I'm falling in love with the charm of this place.

    A dozen donuts to take us to heaven

    We looooovee Russell's Donuts! We've been coming here for quite some time now and hands down best donuts anywhere. We absolutely love you guys and the amazing donuts you make! If Russell's Donuts sold is buy shares, that's how good they are. If you're visiting the Ventura come here. It beats any chain place you can think of.

    I am big into donuts - I hit an old school donut spot everywhere I go and this did not dissapoint. Absolutely stellar. I drove up from Malibu for it and will be back! This is the place for you if you like old school donuts, no fancy frostings here. Side note - upon ordering the jelly donut, the women who served us, actually cut the old fashioned sugar donut in half, and added the warm jam. Unreal.

    This cafe is sooo beautiful- I truly feel like I'm somewhere in Europe in a large open patisserie…read more It is typically super crowded her, so if you can find seating, count yourself lucky. I love their pastries, but the recent price increases do make them a luxury item. Kouign Amann are my fave, but any of their croissants are also great. I haven't really tried their drinks. Had a Hot chocolate at the Camarillo location, and they even had a little latte art in the milk foam. A beautiful space to enjoy, but pricey overall. Service is usually fine, not overly friendly but that is also due to being so busy that they need to move the lines quickly and efficiently. At Camarillo, the server was much more talkative and friendly because it wasn't crowded when I went.

    The food wasn't very good! I ordered the Spring Salad…read morepictured below Supposed to be...Spring greens, strawberries, blueberries, toasted pistachios with balsamic vinaigrette. Served with a warmed goat cheese crostini. No mention of melons it had a few slivers of strawberries. Overall taste not very good. Had my mom try it too she was unimpressed. She had the chicken salad. She said it was just chicken with mayo. The croissant was dry. The iced tea tasted like coffee unfortunately. The gentleman that delivered our food just plopped the plates down and walked away. No gluten free options only macaroons! First time at this location normally go to Camarillo and TO so I was expecting the same great food and service. There was a napkin on the ground directly under our table. The ledge by window was dirty! Just disappointing!

    This place is located in a very big plaza so there's plenty of parking…read more Found this place and was glad that I found it! searched up Biscoff lattes in the area and this popped up so I gave it a try. They offer a number of drinks & coffee, and pastries as well but I ordered their Bisco latte/cookie butter latte and this did not disappoint. I've never had anything like this before I loved how rich the Biscoff flavor was and they also add some kind of a special Hawaiian milk to it which I didn't mind but I also asked for this to be made in almond milk as well with no whipped cream. The moment I took a sip it was just Rich flavors bursting in my mouth. The only problem that I had with this place is that it's not closer to me, which is in the South Bay. Hint, hint I highly recommend.

    I'm starting off by saying this place gets 2 stars for the coffee and 1 star for the service I've…read morereceived. I've visited both the Ventura and the Thousand Oaks locations, and my experience has been consistent. To me, this is a high-end Dunkin' Donuts and I don't even go there. The last time I had Dunkin' was about five years ago back home in Minnesota. I don't enjoy it because it tastes more like sugar with a splash of coffee rather than actual coffee and that's exactly how I feel about this place. I honestly don't understand why it's so popular. Most of the drinks taste extremely sweet. If you're looking for a sugary treat, a cheat-day drink, or something for your birthday, then this might be your spot. But if you genuinely enjoy coffee and want something balanced and bold, this probably isn't it. The only drinks I would personally order again are the cold brew or the Maui Mocha and even then, they're still on the sweeter side. One practical note: the Ventura location often has lines out the door. I'd recommend ordering online and picking up if you decide to try it. Overall, I'd say go try it for yourself but manage your expectations if you're a true coffee lover.
