I can't say I fully understand the mediocre reviews. I've been pleased with the fresh produce, the deli items, and the large selection of locally-grown items, including honeys, oils, vinegars, and more. I'm not sure that we've gotten a single item we haven't been pleased with! Lines move quickly and service is attentive but not intrusive. The shop is clean and well organized. Shelves are well-stocked, and the aisles afford ample elbow room. read more

When I come up to visit my family in Ojai, I enjoy shopping at Westridge markets. They have incredible specials and today they had a Tuesday morning special of a coffee any size and a breakfast sandwich for five dollars! Since I was taking my grandson for a walk this morning, we headed for the store and arrived at 9:45 and they have been selling out all day so they made me a fresh one in 10 minutes and we sat outside and enjoyed our picnic breakfast. Always check their flyer that has their incredible deals each month, including their Tuesday and Thursday special deals. They have great coffee every day. An incredible deli with all kinds of pastries made fresh and then their hot deli, including Fresh made sushi. Don't forget to check out Westridge market when you're in Ojai. I also picked up some pork chops and ribeye on special this week at the meat counter. read more

I go here 5 days a week and love the place! while I shop occasionally, I always have the fresh made food at the deli counter- brisket, ribs sandwiches, slaw, smoothies etc. Today I ordered the Brisket sandwiches loaded with peppers, onions and pickles on toasted sour dough w lettuce and tomatoes and WOW! One of the best I've ever had. Amazing lean brisket and the fix-ins made it spectacular- and huge! For $11.99 this is it!!! read more

Westridge Midtown Market - Hot smoked brisket sandwich made fresh and loaded- incredible!!! - Grocery Near Me - Ojai, California

This store is one of my favorite things about living in Ojai. It has fresh local produce, quality meat department and a killer hot food bar/deli/sushi/pastry department. It always feels like a treat to go grocery shopping here. I have confidence that anything I pick off the shelf is quality and it's a beautiful and well kept store with such friendly staff. They really serve our community in many ways. read more

Stopped by the market on our way to park. I wanted to pick up bread and snacks to take with us. Lovely variety of goods. Got a delicious sourdough loaf for $11, which was perfect for the park eats. The market is as clean and smelled nice. As someone who doesn't live in Ojai but visits, it's good to know this market has essentials and more. read more

This is my first time coming here and before I was really confused by the mixed reviews, but my experience was a five star 100% the place is beautiful with a fantastic choice of prepared foods, bakery goods, fresh fruit, vegetables meats, and the staff was all so friendly and helpful so my opinion, is whoever is writing negative reviews about this place is not worthy of consideration. That said, we came in early in the morning and went to the breakfast bar first. The eggs, sausages, and various other choices were fresh, well-prepared, and very tasty. This is not a Vons market, and, as mentioned in other reviews, it's more of a blend of Whole Foods and a bit of Trader Joe's. I really appreciate that this is a family-owned establishment, and I don't mind paying a little more to support these businesses. It's becoming tiresome to see corporations and private equity firms taking over family businesses and jobs. read more

The produce department was full of beautiful, healthy choices. The delicatessen smelled fabulous. The bakery was full of beautiful pastries. I was visiting from out of town. I picked up some jams and teas to take home. The staff was friendly and helpful! read more

I recently moved from Miami to CA, it was a great surprise to find Cuban pastelitos at the bakery, I bought the guava and cheese and Argentinian empanadas I have to admit these are the best I had so far! read more

When deciding between westridge or a gas station for a quick bite to eat, we went with westridge. Should have gone with the gas station. Prepackaged sandwich was borderline inedible. read more

I just finished attempting to eat a London broil sandwich from the deli. One of the worst sandwiches I have ever had Bread was extremely dry, lettuce was unrecognizable. Flavor, not existent. Will never do that again. read more

The customer service at the deli counter is HORRIBLE- save the sushi people because they are pretty awesome. The rest just sucks and bad. Be prepared to wait for service even if you're the only person at the counter. Basically you're ignored so speak up or you'll never get noticed. Calling in your order? It won't be ready when you get there and it comes with zero apologies. Last night I ordered 2 large pizzas. Called in the order. The pizza man was on his break right before the dinner hour. Seems like an ill planned break. Anyway and as usual and to be expected, my order wasn't near ready. Fortunately, there was a tequila tasting in the store to keep me occupied. When I got my 2 large pizzas to the party late, they were far from large. Other ones I've had from Westridge in the past were much bigger and I'm not sure how they managed it, but the pizza was cold. There was less than 5 minutes between me picking up the long awaited pies and getting them to their destination. Advice to self and anyone else reading this, call beforehand to see if the order is ready. Btw, they don't take payment over the phone. They have a head start as this country continues to move in reverse. In that respect, kudos to them. read more

This is equivalent to Ojai's version of a Whole Foods. Lots of great options and produce. The service is always nice and the place is clean. However, a few times they had old items left on the shelves. Always double check the best by date. read more

I'm not one to Yelp often, but sometimes, you just have to leave a review. I called in an order for a simple BLT. When I arrived, they assured me that they did not receive my order and that I must've called the other location. I pulled up the phone number to confirm, and it was, in fact, the correct location. They apologized and put my order in. Upon my return to my desk, I excitedly opened my sandwich, only to be greeted by the sight of the top piece of bread literally falling apart. There were four slices through the top piece of bread, and the crust had broken off in multiple places. Whatever, it's fine, not pretty. But after further inspection, there wasn't a single tomato on this sandwich! Just lettuce and bacon. A BLT without the "T" is just sad, right? As if that wasn't enough, the three other interactions I had with employees in the store were equally depressing. None of them were friendly or warm at all. I'll never order from that deli again. Go to MJ's instead, where sandwiches have tomatoes and smiles and pickles are free. read more

Best pizza in town (my opinion), but good luck ordering ahead. Or getting ANY deli help at all. In person, you get ignored. Called to place an order, the guy answers, 'pizza dept'; I ask to order a couple of pizzas, he says I need to call the deli for that but he doesn't know how to transfer me so to please call back and ask for the deli. Mind you they are literally 5' from one another. Called back and sat on hold for 10 minutes, no one ever picked up. Service is terrible! read more

Awesome little market near my home with great staff. Wide variety of alcohol, cheese and a fantastic food selection at the deli.

Not the best customer service, but what can we do? Only local place that isn't Vons, and not as expensive as Rainbowbrige. Stuck is what we are. read more

Westridge, midtown truly is the best market in these parts. The prices can be a little bit high compared to other markets like Vons, but often without question it's because of the higher quality brands and suppliers, but I also appreciate (and I am willing to pay a small premium for), the attention to detail that each of the grocers pays to their departments. Specifically i want to shout out to the the meat department, the dairy and cheese and alternative dairy department, beer department, and of course, the produce team is awesome. The cashiers are friendly, the folks stocking the shelves always help you find things, and I can't go to Westridge without stopping off at the sushi department, the deli, and the hot case. Whenever I wanted to get something in that they didn't have, they are almost always able to order it and they even call me when it's in. Big fan. read more

Great stop for juice and coffee. Yummy little coffee stand with treats inside. Lacks vegan options. read more

Westridge Midtown Market - Juice and coffee - Grocery Near Me - Ojai, California

Excellent market in downtown Ojai. It was like a cross of Traders Joe with Whole Foods, so plethora of fresh and baked goodies plus prepared food. I went there in need of my very own birthday (mini) cake and the seller went above and beyond to help me. We got also a bunch of different snacks for the trip back to San Jose. Very recommendable. read more

I love shopping at Westridge Market, they have quality food and the staff is amazing. I was there this afternoon and surprised that they didn't have Ham in the deli department. A very helpful and friendly worker Jimmy said they would have it tomorrow. I said great see ya tomorrow. such great customer service. Thank you Westridge market. read more

Large, upscale store with good selection of upscale foods.

Love this place!! Ignore the haters. It's as if Whole Foods and Trader Joe's had a child! Great cheese section and the taco/burrito bar is legit. read more

The salty shredded beef burrito at the deli was terrible. Canned pinto beans, some strange filler/ sauce, and there's no cilantro or tomato or onion or anything. I got one before, thought I'd give them another chance, just as bad the 2nd time. !! yuck!! read more

There was a rock in my burrito :( I come here all the time. We're going back to let them know. Otherwise this place is really wonderful I just am astounded this happened . Especially from a place that has huge reputation. read more

Deli has the right ingredients but lack the final touch. Boars head meat is a winner, plenty of bread options and quality veggies usual makes a solid outcome but it's hit or miss at this deli. I've experienced plenty of sandwiches that we're not made correctly (cold vs hot, missing core items), found multiple pepperoncinis stems or bread that were too wide for the sandwich (see picture). Work on these said details and that could make this the good to sandwich stop in the valley. read more

Westridge Midtown Market - Too mas bread - Grocery Near Me - Ojai, California

The best hamburger in Ojai, or maybe all Ventura Co. Order the smashed burger in their deli.

I like the Westridge market on the other end of town so I was happy to see Westridge in this location too (though sad to see Star Market go). They've taken out the carpeted floors here, and are remodeling a lot of the store. The produce section is really attractive now and I'm excited to see the bakery and deli/meat section as it's being installed and updated. I love that I can get my favorite commercially made cake here - the "Big Chocolate Cake" made by Sweet Street in Pennsylvania. They also carry their Red Velvet cake in addition to the bakery items that Westridge bakes themselves. Last weekend my in-laws were in town and we tried several of their bakery items including their bread pudding and lemon chiffon cake. I haven't had anything disappointing here yet! I love their lemon bars and want to try their blueberry cobbler bars next. Besides food, this store carries a small selection of household items like cleaning products and small automotive or fix it things. They also have some camping supplies, but mostly I'd just come here for their food. read more

Love the produce section and ready to eat deli. Good service. Good selection on most other things but prices are higher than most grocery stores like it. read more

For a small town family owned market there is absolutely no friendliness by the employees and no customer service culture. I went earlier today to buy some sushi and cod fish (on sale) - I saw a lot of new faces and not one of them was smiling. The couple that used to be making the sushi were not there. Instead there was a young woman who was not friendly at all. There was a young man stocking the shelves directly in the way of something I was going to purchase. When I politely asked him to allow me access he looked at me as if I was threatening to kill him. I saw one familiar face behind the butcher counter and he didn't seem happy at all - in the past I've had a good relationship with him. The other person behind the butcher counter was new, was helping another customer and he apparently woke up on the wrong side of the bed and was totally unfriendly. The nice elderly lady who used to do the bagging was nowhere to be found. The young lady who checked my purchases was new and seemed like she was there only because she needed a job and a paycheck. Has there been a change of ownership or management?? Just awful culture, awful customer service- what in the heck is going on?? Complete opposite of Trader Joe's. read more

One of the nicest grocery stores we've ever shopped at. The deli section is awesome and the salad bar is clean and loaded with fresh ingredients. The tri tip sandwich and burgers are yummy and very reasonably priced. The sushi is incredible. read more

Two nights in a row, I called to order pizza and they could not make any. Sunday night I called at 6:48 pm and they told me they quit making pizza because they were short handed. Tonight (Monday) I called at 6:30 pm to order three pizzas and they told me they ran out of dough... REALLY? This is mismanaged at best or maybe they just don't care about deli customers. read more

Analysse was the three stars for this market! Great greeting, vibration and communication with the customer. She is the part-time employee that should really be the front end manager. The disappointing thing with this grocery store is the expired items they leave on the shelf. Unfortunately I was exhausted and didn't look at the dates on the items until I had returned to my AirBNB. Both items were expired in May 2018 read more

Half the time we get meat here, it goes bad in less than 48 hrs. :( The guys behind the meat counter are great and friendly, but the product is not great. If you get meat there, be ready to cook it that night! read more

I come here often for lunch, they have a good selection of food, however i wish they had more of a vegetarian menu in the hot food area. As for grocery shopping, they have a good selection of items. A cross between sprouts and whole foods. Their veggies and fruits are always fresh and crunchy. Only downside is that's its a bit pricey. read more

Nothing but good from this store. Good service. Good products all in a small but very convenient place in the middle of town.

This is one of the best places to shop in Ojai, being the largest store in town there is a huge selection. I have never left without finding what I was looking for. There is plenty of parking and the staff are very friendly. 10/10 read more

Everything about this place is amazing. But I felt disrespected when Lena walked up to and told me to leave the store because My mask wasn't good enough yet before she walked up she had to put her mask over her nose. I'm just saying it works both ways. Best Sandwhiches in town by far though! read more

The larger location is better than the smaller, east side one. I've had to return deli food that went bad, literally within 20 minutes with a receipt. A middle-aged redhead manager, Teresa, was rude about it. Every time I have encountered her she is pointedly rude, to the point, I've stopped shopping a both locations unless necessary. You're better off just contacting the Dept of Health rather than trying to work with the store if she is representative of how they manage things. read more
