Promising - Edit
Had breakfast here and the chia pancakes were delicious while the "Savory breakfast bowl" with scrambled tofu didn't taste much at all. Very fresh and well prepared in every other aspect, but it needed a lot of salt (and I usually don't use a lot of salt)
Read moreGot a very good impression though and will go there again if I get the chance. So brilliant that all is gluten free!
Pros: gluten free, fresh, pancakes
Cons: "savory" scrambled tofu

What a Joi ! - Edit
My wife and I were visiting from San Diego and made a special effort to dine at this new eatery affiliated with Rich Roll, the famous vegan ultra athlete. I've read Rich’s book, seen him speak, and met him on a fantastic vegan cruise (for 1500 plant-based enthusiasts!) out of Miami last March. However, while waiting for our order to be served, I was browsing over the paper menu and was dismayed to see “bee pollen” as a smoothie superboost option. Of course, bees are animals, so their products, by definition, are not vegan. Although this put a damper on my enthusiasm, “The SouthSider” was delicious, and my wife judged the “Fun Tuna” the best mock tuna ever. That evening, I emailed the cafe expressing my concerns. To my surprise and delight, I received an almost immediate reply from owner/founder Nicholas Johanson stating unequivocally that bee pollen had been removed from the cafe entirely and that he, like me, believed in a 100% plant-based diet and lifestyle. He acknowledged that they had yet to update their paper menus and menu board. I urged him to cross out or paint over the words and update the website menu immediately to avoid future misunderstandings. And I urge everyone to visit and support this bright, vibrant 100% vegan establishment!

Great Food, Customer Service & Communication too! - Edit
Joi Café had recently had their grand opening when I approached them with a big order request. I wanted a variety of Joi’s beautiful delicious vegan baked goods for a party I was hosting. I don’t do dessert, but if I want to bring treats I want to know I’m bringing in fabulous compassionate choices. In addition to the large order, I needed to pick them up on a Monday (the day the café is closed). Nicholas and I worked it out and it was a complete amazing win.
Read moreI ordered the colorful variety the week before (scones for adults, mini cupcakes for kids, chocolate and chai cookies for all, fruit tarts for adults and more). The plan was for me to text Nick before the pick up. Shawn would be there for me to receive the goods. I texted, Nick answered, I went by and NICK WAS THERE ON HIS DAY OFF to help me get the goodies. We packed up my truck and off I went. The party was a complete success and my guests (foodies and accomplished entertainers themselves) all loved the all the pretty cookies and cakes. I bought the scones for the adults and the kids loved the scones too. A huge thank you to Nicholas, Joi and the team. It’s one thing to have great food, it’s another thing to have great customer service, but to also be able to communicate and create solutions is above and beyond. Thank YOU JOI CAFÉ!
Pros: Exellent food

Scrumptious Taste & Visually Tantalizingly - Edit
I went with a friend for lunch today. The place was very busy, and after tasting the food and the attentive service, I understand why.
Read moreHas a clean, crisp, modern decor with unique counter seating with bar stools for about 20 people, plus has several tables and chairs and outdoor seating. They are willing, able and ready for customers!!
I had The JOi Enchiladas for $13.95: Filled with sweet potatoes, fresh peppers, spinach, corn, black beans, coconut, cinnamon and cilantro topped with homemade enchilada sauce and fresh California avocado. Seriously creative, unique and scrumptiously and tantalizingly beautiful to the eye and to the palate.
My friend had the Mushroom Bahn Mi for $9.95: Grilled portabella mushrooms, house-pickled Asian vegetables, shaved jalapeno (if you shave it wrong OUCH), cilantro, mint, basil and vegenaise. Served on a toasted roll. He loved it!!
If you are anywhere within 100 miles of this place, do not hesitate, do not pass GO... go directly there - you and your tummy will thank you!!
Pros: Ample parking, Delish food, Exceedingly clean
Cons: None whatsoever

Tasty Food & Hip Atmosphere - Edit
So stoked to have another Vegan restaurant in Ventura County! Very clean, bright and inviting atmosphere. The owners have obviously put time and effort into the small details, which make everything come together nicely in a hip and casual cafe. My wife and I had lunch on the 2nd day after the grand opening. Food came out fast and fresh. We were both very impressed with our food. Had the hummus for an appetizer, The Sopas dish and the Bob Marley zucchini pasta. So so goood! We'll definitely be back here often.
