Explore Ojai
Beacon Coffee Company
Coffee please! There are a couple of coffee options in Ojai, but Beacon is by far the best. They roast high quality micro-lots from family owned farms and have a big open space with whitewashed walls, plenty of big tables, and a very local crowd. P.S. they serve a few daily pastries at the counter too.
Revel
Breakfast for the health nuts! Think fresh brewed organic jun kombucha on tap (a craft they take seriously in Ojai) and the best acai bowls in Cali. P.S. Revel is the only place on earth where you can enjoy probiotic matcha and probiotic coffee on nitro.
Ojai Rotie
Nom nom, lunch! Rotie is a fantastic place to eat outside in downtown Ojai. Everyone is eating the Lebanese rotisserie chicken platters - which are very good, but they’re not the only things here you’ll like. They also have a bunch of choices for sides to go with your chicken, and you should focus on the tabouli salad and the rotisserie potatoes, which are like French fries, except whole fingerling potatoes. They have great sandwiches, too, especially the grilled eggplant with cabrillo cheese. Grab a glass of wine from the bar, soak in the views of the mountains, and brainstorm ways convince your boss to let you work part-time from Ojai.
The Nest of Ojai
Lunch meets dinner at this local hot spot! The Nest offers modern comfort food made from scratch and served right in the heart of the Ojai Valley. They use all local produce and organic ingredients too! They have a super yummy and innovative menu! P.S. check out their awesome weekly specials.

Casa Barranca Tasting Room
Calling all my winos! We are talking an award-winning certified organic winery that was one of the first out in the Central Coast. They have a tasting room right on the main drag in Ojai, where they'll pour flights of their most popular wines and tell ya all about the grapes. It is a must stop!
The Ojai Vineyard Tasting Room
Winos take two! At this tasting room you can work your way through 300-plus wines on offer, though the deliciously elegant Ojai-vineyard grown Syrahs, Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sauvignon Blancs are the main draw—and a testament to owner Adam Tolmach’s purist approach to winemaking.
Tipple and Ramble
This playful picnic and wine shop is quintessentially Ojai. On Thursdays through Sundays from noon to 7 p.m., the patio becomes a wine bar. Try a cheese and charcuterie board or hummus and seasonal vegetables, paired with wine, beer, or Mexican Coke from the bar, which is built into a vintage trailer. Pro tip: The patio faces east, the essential direction to enjoy Ojai’s Pink Moment—the famous sunset that turns everything a glowing pink. Plan to arrive early enough to get a glass of rosé and snag the table in the front of the yard for the best end-of-day view. A perfect, pre-dinner drink spot!
Ojai Deer Lodge
For the live music lover looking for a beer and good vibes! Ojai's oldest bar is a must see, they've been keeping it rustic since 1932!
SANDERS & SONS GELATO

Bart's Books

Fig Ojai
A lovely shop where you can find a little bit of everything, unique gifts for home & garden, with a focus on local, handmade, and fair trade goods.
Summer Camp
Super cute shop with local finds!
