“ Cute spot in Ventura with yummy food and lots of drinks! Non alcoholic and wines included! Food was delicious! We got the pastrami sandwich, Mac and cheese, and the mushroom omelette. Left us satisfied! The sandwich is a nice big portion which can be shared or take home for leftovers! Mac and cheese was delicious and the mushroom omelette did not disappoint! Absolutely enjoyed it there and great staff! ”
“ Our regular stop on our way to Santa Barbara. Great food and service! Reservations are recommended to avoid long waits. ”
“ Can we give it up to the main character...milk and honey! The bread was toasted to perfection, and still soft on the inside. The Brie cheese was nice and creamy. This is a dish you'd come back for again and again. The waitresses were all friendly, and the ambiance was perfect. I will definitely be back to try other menu items and of course the milk and honey. ”
“ Artisan crafted sandwiches, wonderful staff and a cafe style ambience makes this restaurant an amazing experience. We stumbled across this busy restaurant by accident during the Ventura Art Walk weekend. The full-sized sandwiches are very filling and there was a friendly woman going around providing samples of their goat cheese. The customers were also friendly like a woman we spoke to who travels from Santa Barbara to visit regularly. They have a great selection of desserts and wine as well. Highly recommend this place for locally sustained foods. This restaurant definitely knows what they are doing to make you want to return. ”
“ Love!!!! So good and high quality ingredients. Everything they use is FRESH. I got the killer Mac of the week and wow so tasty! It had whole pieces of garlic which I love. We also got a salad (forgot the name unfortunately) and it had peaches and strawberries. I loved everything about this lunch. It was a little pricey but fully worth it ”
“ My friend got us a reservation here and it was a great idea because it got busy! This place has indoor and outdoor seating. The menu has a plethora of fantastic meal options. Please know that each plate is very filling so order more sides with care. My pantry McMuffin (i could be wrong about this name) was fantastic! So many flavors that combined so well for one delicious breakfast sandwich. The potatoes on the side were cooked perfectly! Also the side of hot pickles was a pleasant surprise. My friend's Monte Cristo was delicious as well. I thought it was a tad too sweet with the apricot jam but that's just my opinion. I can't wait to come back and try more items! ”
“ This is easily one of the best places spots to eat in Ventura. We came on a Sunday around 11 and were seated immediately (however its was probably one of the lady free tables) Kombucha - bomb. Based in Ojai Breakfast grilled cheese with pork belly- bomb af Breakfast sandwich with pork belly- possibly the best sandwich of my life. Side of mushrooms - I hate mushrooms with a passion (mental block), however I actually liked these Pickles- who reviews pickles? Well these are like magic pickles. My brain could not process - how can pickles be this good??????????? They have the most perfectly cooked pork belly. All the ingredients are fresh, and the sandwiches were HUGE! Staff is very kind and bubbly. It's a little noisy but it ads to the casual atmosphere. It's connected to their wine, cheese, and candle shop. The candles are expensive but worth it. They have unique scents that have a beautiful slow burn. Very elegant and calming! A great stop to get gifts for wine lovers as well. ”
“ I've only been to the Paradise pantry a few times but every time I absolutely love it. My friends and I went before the Ventura Wine walk last weekend, and we sat immediately outside on their large patio. The dishes were well prepared and came out hot. The staff couldn't be any nicer and were very attentive. I believe it was the owner. Also running around helping people to make sure everyone had complete attention. They were probably expecting a large crowd once the wine walk was in full swing. I was sad that they didn't participate in the wine walk this year so next year we will be going there for a flight since their wine is way way way better than what we had at the event. We each enjoyed our meal, but unfortunately I did not take pictures since I did not want to get my phone messy ”
