How have I never done a review for Bloom?! If there's an award for 'best customer service' it goes…read moreto Ixy!! Truly 10 star service, during a pandemic, no less! I don't live in Ojai but would be there for a week for my gf's birthday and the only thing she asked for was a cake. I had *no* idea how I was going to surprise her with a cake, but Ixy not only helped me plan but delivered and followed up on how things went! We messaged back and forth via IG and then texting and she couldn't have been more patient, accommodating and helpful to keep the surprise a secret. In fact, it took a small team of some incredibly kind women to help pull this all off and I'll never forget that. I'll definitely have to get more goodies from Bloom next time I'm in Ojai- such an amazing experience!!

Literally I can eat this pizza all day long!!! everything tasted fresh, and the wood-fired pizza was amazing. We also shared a fresh salad, and it paired perfectly with the pizza. The atmosphere is what really makes this place special. It feels like you're enjoying pizza in your best friend's backyard, super cozy, relaxed, and welcoming. Mona was supper sweet and welcoming! We sat outside on a beautiful California summer day, and the weather made the whole experience even better. The customer service was outstanding. Everyone was so kind, friendly, and attentive, which made us feel right at home. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food and overall experience. They also offer catering, have plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, TVs, public restrooms, and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible, which is always a plus. This was is my second visit, If you're looking for incredible pizza, a laid-back atmosphere, and amazing service, I highly recommend checking this place out!

The service was friendly and attentive, and everything was clean and well-maintained. The indoor dining area is beautiful, and the restaurant is located in a lovely neighborhood that adds to the overall experience. We'll definitely be back and would highly recommend Pinyon to anyone looking for great food and a great atmosphere.

The Farmer and the Cook -- Fresh Finds Off the Main Road…read more I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect walking in for the first time, but The Farmer and the Cook won me over pretty quickly. It's bright, clean, and has this easy organic warmth to it... the kind of place that feels like it was put together by people who actually care. Right off the main road, easy to find, and the family vibes are real. It's the kind of spot you want to linger in. If you're navigating dietary restrictions, this place is a quiet goldmine. Strong gluten free options, a genuinely vegan friendly menu, and plenty of vegetarian choices too... so everyone at the table actually gets to eat something they're excited about. That's rarer than it should be. The food? Solid. I went with the raw tacos, sopes, and huarache; all filling, all fairly priced for the area. The raw tacos especially surprised me... fresh, flavorful, and not in a "I wish this was a real taco" kind of way. These hold their own. Service was quick and most of the staff had a warm, genuine energy about them. The one small snag; the cashier seemed to be having a rough one. A little gruff, made me feel like my first visit was mildly inconvenient for them. It happens, we all have bad days, but first impressions do stick a little. Overall though, I'm absolutely coming back. There's more on that menu calling my name and an atmosphere that makes it easy to slow down for a bit. Whether you're vegan, gluten free, or just looking for something fresh and honest... this one's worth the stop.

A really difficult review to write. On the one hand, decent food, and decent environment…read more On the other hand, very dramatic and poorly managed "community" space. I was poisoned there with food that I am allergic to by a spiteful employee. Management not only never apologized, they never did anything. The results were lab tested. I went over and above to give them a chance to be civil and professional, and they came up a complete blank. So sad

We arrived towards the end of the market as they were starting to pack up and put things away…read more Still there were plenty of vendors still there offering their goods but slowly shifting and packing up. It's located in a parking lot behind the main strip and in a residential area. All street parking but it tends to be pretty easy. There's a bakery vendors that I've had a few times but they do sell out quite fast. Their fresh baked bread and sweets are one not to be missed. This visit, they weren't there in their usual section so I assume they were pretty much sold out fast. Loads of fresh organic vendors with all their goods. As it was summer, there were so many vendors with amazing tomatoes. Heirlooms, grape tomatoes and so all. Everything all looked so fresh and I'm sure it was straight from the farm that morning. Also loads of other vendors selling their homemade goods, like soap to candles to everything in between. Majority of the vendors are fresh produce so you know you'll be picking up fresh farm products. Also fresh flowers are always a must when a visiting the farmers market. Can't forget the fresh berries and fruits. Doesn't scream summer without all the fresh berries straight of the plant. Regardless what you're looking for or not, I'm sure you'll always leave with plenty of fresh things at this market. Their items are always so fresh. A must whenever I'm Ojai. It's always on a Sunday morning.

Prices are a bit more than Oxnard prices but I do think it's great to support local especially seeing the quality difference between local vendors and grocery stores. $13 for eggs still seems a bit steep for recovering from the egg hiked prices where they are now back to $6-7 in grocery stores. There was a vendor that sells sourdough breads and she was quite popular has she always had a line. Caroline's preservative jams are amazing in flavor and quality. I also appreciated that Centri Coffee was there so that I could buy some whole beans.

Even though the shop was a little busy and I was taking up extra time, the staff were all very friendly and upbeat and didn't make me feel bad for the line stacking up behind me. When the beans I wanted happened to be sold out of pre-packaged bags, she went and filled and sealed a fresh bag for me right then and there. Awesome! Small, clean, cozy shop, and I didn't buy any pastries this time, but they did look really tempting. I should have bought a lemon bar. Next time I will for sure.

My original review was much nicer but since then the owner has messaged me requesting that I take down my "insensitive review" when it was honest and not rude. However, I will make my review much clearer. The cashier (now I'm assuming owner) was condescending towards my friend who had never tried one of their non-dairy milks. My other friend did not enjoy her drink and in her opinion was possibly the worst latte you could ever have at a whopping $10 a pop. I'm not really sure why the owner, Stacy, felt entitled to ask I take down my review. But it will in fact stay, and I hope every person who ventures to visit this coffee shop stays away. Yelp was made to make honest reviews about one's experiences. Smart business owners know not everyone will have the same experience. The main goal to have with a unsatisfied customer is to understand what went wrong and to listen to the feedback, not win the argument!

This is a somewhat small grocery store, but has a good variety of specialty foods including fresh…read moreproduce, frozen meats, bulk grains, fresh dairy, baking and cooking ingredients as well as some personal health items like vitamins and essential oils. A few odds and ends but mostly groceries. I appreciate that you can find things for dietary restrictions here, and the products all seem high quality. Love that I can buy Rancho Gordo beans here. Prices are not cheap, so I usually only go here when I need something specific, but they do tend to have what I'm looking for. I haven't ordered at the deli counter before, but the selection there looks good too. Store is clean and well stocked, and the staff has always been helpful for me. Last time I went in I needed some freeze dried strawberries and couldn't find them on my own, and when I asked at the cash register, the young woman walked me to them herself. I would recommend stopping in to see if this is the kind of store you want for your grocery needs. I like it. :)

I had to call one over, and she asked me to walk to her instead of coming to the cashier. I ordered a hamburger with just cheese and a juice (which I repeated twice). The juice never came, and the burger arrived with lettuce and tomato. The attitude from the staff was not friendly, and even others in line noticed. Great food, but service is part of the experience. I hope they improve their customer service.

Gotta love not having to DRIVE! I love the little fresh coffee and pastry and muffin bar just to the left when you walk in. A small coffee is only $2.29 with creamers and honey included and it's good! There's an amazing deli and I've got to try the hot food bar with tacos and burritos and bowls and the deli sandwiches which are all under $12. Prices are cheaper at VONS but you get quality here and it's super convenient and small and cozy. Employees are happy and helpful and the place is spotless and welcoming. Well done!!
