Delicious food and coffee. I love getting an oat milk flat white here. It is always busy but they do a great job at managing the waitlist and table availability when needed. The menu could have more vegetarian and vegan options.

Absolutely loved this Aussie cafe. Came here one morning with some friends and immediately returned the following morning. Everything was well-made with quality ingredients and expertise.

My favorite breakfast. I tried it a little over a year ago and have gone back about 5 times. I get the banana bread, side of potatoes and a chai with oat. Everyone I bring here is blown away by the food. The service isn’t the most friendly but you order at the register and seat yourself so it hasn’t affected my experience too much.

Love me a good Australian style place. Breakfast offerings are amazing, including the fresh Aussie bowl (I got another side of sourdough toast) and the granola bowl. Can’t wait to try their lunch options

I found a new Cafe for breakfast in Ventura. I loved the vibe. It was laid back and filled with families and friends eating, conversing and laughing. There were lots of options available. I was so engrossed in conversation, I forgot to take photos of the Aussue meat pie. I had the Bronte bowl. I wished I was specific in requesting that the two eggs boiled till the yolk was hard. I got two eggs with running yolk. That was on me. That being said I definitely recommend Front side Cafe. There is something for everyone.
