Café Nouveau

This is a charming restaurant that is open for breakfast and lunch only closing at 2 PM. It's a favorite of the locals and fills up quickly. The food is exceptional as well as the service. Parking is a challenge. They have a very small lot or you have to park on one of the streets, but all parking is free. The menu has a nice variety.The salad that I had was exceptional and the pumpkin biscuits are to die for!

This place is lovely! So many amazing unique choices! Every bite was delicious. Very professional and friendly service. Atmosphere was very comfortable. I want to come back and try the entire menu! The maple bacon beignets were divine and reason to come here on their own.

I found this on my visit to Ventura. Just the hearty breakfast I was craving. Healthy, fresh choices and satisfied the sweet tooth as well. We arrived at the right time on Sunday morning that we got to sit right away. The wait staff were amazing, helpful, attentive, and friendly.

Wonderful service and lovely setting. Food was delicious, fresh, tasty. Best cup of restaurant coffee in ages! Parking is tricky...but well worth a little stroll.

This is a hidden gem!! We are happy we stumbled on this amazing place, the food was so delicious that we ended up bringing friends back not only for breakfast but showed up for dinner too. The service was amazing and very friendly, so we will be coming up here again and recommending all our friends to stop by.

We visited this place this morning. We had been here before and never had any complaints until today. We arrived and, as always, the welcome was very warm and they made us feel at home. However, the first issue was the coffee — it had no flavor, the water was barely tinted. Then the main dishes arrived, and everything came out cold; not a single plate was served hot. We also have a 5-year-old daughter, and we had to order an adult plate for her because they don’t offer any kids’ options. I think this will be the last time we visit this place.

A great menu full of interesting, well prepared food. We had a great server as well, a true professional. The only downside for us, is that that the inside dining areas are fairly small, the place seems like a home that was converted into a restaurant and the dining areas are in what used to be rooms in the house. Those rooms are mostly hard surfaces, glass windows, hard table tops, hard ceiling, so the noise level is pretty high. You could probably ask for a quiet table and find one if you were looking for a quieter experience. But overall, service was very crisp and attentive, food came out quickly, my friend had a delicious frittata with bacon, caramelized onions, and Gorgonzola cheese topped with an arugula salad. Really, really good.
