Our Ojai Favorites
Food & Drink
The Dutchess
Wondering where the locals go for a breakfast bite? Look no further. We HIGHLY recommend bringing one of their sourdough loaves home with you! If you’re stopping in for lunch, don’t miss the fried chicken sandwich or reuben.
Ojai Rôtie
A casual lunch spot for fresh bites and their famous rotisserie chicken. Highly recommend ordering some of their fresh pita and dips too!
Nocciola
One of our favorite local restaurants for a cozy Italian meal. Their handmade pastas as a must-order.
Rory’s Place
A hip new restaurant specializing in seafood. The Tuna Tartar and Aguachile are must-orders and the Hello Satan cocktail is one of our favorites!
Pinyon Ojai
This hit Ojai spot is our favorite casual place in town to grab a bagel or pizza and a glass of natural wine. Not to be dramatic but their furikake bagel changed our lives.
Topa Topa Brewing Company
Grab a cold beer and a snack (we recommend the seasoned tater tots) and hang on the patio at this local brewery’s Ojai taproom.
Shopping & Activities
Bart's Books
The world’s largest outdoor bookstore, serving the Ojai community since 1964.
Mediation Mount
Watch the sunset with a beautiful panoramic view of the Ojai Valley.
Ojai Farmer’s Market
Did you really think we’d make a “Favorites of Ojai” guide and not include a Farmer’s Market?? On Sunday, take your hungover self to this charming local FM and scope out the fresh produce, pottery, flowers and snacks.
Ojai Meadow Preserve
A 58-acre space where you'll find plants, animals, and hiking trails.

Taste local olive oil and learn about sustainable farming.

The MOB Shop
Looking to scooch around town on a bike? The MOB shop has rentals available whether hitting the mountain trails or just cruising the bike paths.
Tipple & Ramble
One of Ojai’s hidden gems. You’ll find Tipple and Ramble to be off the beaten path, tucked into a private garden. Shop for eclectic home goods while enjoying a cozy glass of wine and snack.
In the Field
A fun place to shop for vintage pieces.
