Café BŌKU - Ojai, California

Love this cafe. Think Organic, Healthy, Natural food & products. This little oasis on West Ojai Ave is a perfect stop to charge your car, fix your bike, give your kids play time. Food is excellent and we had the complimentary blue water which tastes like water but has health benefits. Come eat breakfast or lunch here, you won't regret it.

We ordered the zlt, breakfast burrito, save the tuna sandwich and pesto toast. For drinks we had the rasta palmer, berry lemonade, seasonal refresher which was a lavender tea and matcha mint tea. Everything looked and tasted delicious. For the sides, I would add more popcorn, more greens or fruit for more food. I would definitely eat here again.

I have food allergies. Vegan places scare me a little, because of corn and soy. In the past, I would have to pass on vegan places because of tofu. Tofu is made from Soy. Lots of Vegan places use Tofu. I imagine this place did too.
I telephoned ahead of our visit to ask some questions. I spoke with Leah. She went above and beyond to explain to me how things were made and what to stay away from. She was very helpful and friendly. She put my mind at ease. We were very excited to be trying Boku.
My friend and I were in Ojai and really wanted to try Boku because we'd heard such wonderful things. They have some of the best plant protein and supplements brand out there. Locally sourced, and healthy. Very pricey though. Although the cafe's prices are better in-house than online, you save on shipping.
I got the non-Tuna Sandwich. It was made with their products and artichokes, purple onions, tomatoes, and turkey bacon. I had Lavender Lemonade and their Blue Water. (I wish I could have bought some of the Blue Water). My friend had a Mushroom Burger. She loved it. I loved mine.
The atmosphere was quirky and eclectic. They had swings outside, but there were signs saying not to swing. Lots of free parking. Clean restrooms.

Nice place to kick back and relax while charging the EV. The place has clean restrooms, nice seating inside and out. I felt very relaxed here and spent over an hour an half having late breakfast and lounging around to shake off the travel tiredness. Recommend it as a place to kick back with some light food even for non-EV drivers.

A gem of a cafe ; right at a Tesla supercharger. They have a vast menu full of superfoods, matcha , coffee and protein smoothies. I fell in love with their pink moment smoothie! Best spot for your gut ! The aesthetic is very green and lovely. Will visit again !

First, PLEASE ORDER THE FLAT BREAD!!! It’s a special right now, and I think it’s the best thing they have. They are only going to keep it if it picks up popularity, so please go give it a try! (It’s not on the menu so just ask). It’s a whole meal, and feels like eating pizza that feels good in my belly. So satisfying!

Also, let’s talk about the mushroom hot chocolate. It is the darkest most amazing hot chocolate I have ever had. I teared up at my first sip. They do offer to sweeten it if you don’t like dark, but wow was it amazing.

Mac n cheese is my next fav, and it’s great because all their cheese is made out of coconut!! Not cashew like most places these days (which I can’t eat).

Friendly service, though maybe a little slow. That may be because I used the kiosk instead of speaking directly to the barista. The blueberry muffin was heated but was almost frozen in the middle. The coffee was tasty and smooth. The chairs and multiple places to sit we're very interesting and well done. Though it was a little chilly, the Adirondack chairs in several faces were covered the sheepskin and the cushion swings outside would be wonderful in the summer. The place is adjacent to a Tesla and Electrify America charging station so my guess is they get a lot of customers from that.

Didn't eat anything here but my wife and I had hot tea on a chilly and rainy afternoon and it was fabulous. They have a lot of healthy options, both sweet and savory, and a little store with a lot of alternative products.
