Le Petit Cafe & Bakery

My mother and I absolutely LOVED this gem of a dining experience!! We arrived right when they opened, so it was lovely to relish the peaceful atmosphere. The aesthetic is so cute, and with the low volume, the French music transported us to a cafe in Paris. The friendly staff are wonderful. Service was impeccable!! Merci Megan! The coffee!! Goodness I never like restaurant coffee—it was delicious!! I ordered a vanilla and hazelnut latte with oat milk. My mother got the same with regular milk. For brunch we ordered the Crepes, French toast, and a side of scrambled eggs to share. Loved that the plates included a slice of orange. Then our own sides of bacon. Both entrees came with a cup of seasonal fruit and whipped cream. The fruit was so fresh! I’ve never had kiwi that tasted so sweet; I still want more! The crepes were good, but I think they would have been better with lingonberry sauce than maple syrup. Would still get it again tho. The French Toast—myyyy—gooooodddddneeesss it is superb!! They make their French Toast using croissants. It taste like a mixture of churros and funnel cake—get it, I promise you it’s worth it. The eggs were so fluffy, the bacon—let me tell you. There are so many places that over cook bacon to where it’s too hard. Their bacon had just the right balance of crisp and chewy. I enjoyed looking at the wall in the hallway to the restroom. They have showcased some of the history of Le Petit Cafe, and it leads to the bakery. Which I’m sad to say, after walking on the harbor, we were still too full to go back for pastries so we’ll have to stop by again soon! I wish I knew about this place sooner. There’s so much more on their menu that looks divine. Such as their quiche and madame croque. Cannot say enough how much I love and recommend Le Petit Cafe & Bakery. Merci beaucoup for a magnifique brunch

Just had an amazing lunch, again, at Le Petit. Pate and Onion soup are best in this area. Outside patio on a sunny day is amazing and staff are polite but leave you space. Hope folks realize this gem is one of the best restaurants in Ventura!

Upon walking in on a Thursday night for dinner. I was greeted immediately. Was given the perfect corner table. They served us water immediately. I noticed the place was extremely clean. Well taken care of. And had excellent decor for the theme. Very warm and quaint. Menus were brought to us right away. We opted for Two French onion soups. Croque monsieur w/ potatoes. And Seafood crepe French onion soups. Finally a French onion soup that tasted authentic. Rich broth with perfectly caramelized onions. Sealed with bread and perfectly melted Gruyere cheese. Croque monsieur. Nicely cut thick ham. Good light Bechamel sauce. Lots of melted cheese. Tastes absolutely fantastic. The potatoes it came with were heavy. I should have got a salad instead. But that doesn’t mean the potatoes weren’t good. They were excellent! Seafood crepe. Smothered in cheese, sauce and herbs. Seafood tastes fresh, crepe was made correctly. Seasoning was on point. Staff was extremely attentive and took care of us very well. So would I recommend this place? Most definitely. Glad I found it. It’s definitely a great change and option for something to eat that’s different around here. If you like crepes, traditional French onion soup and a good croissant? Check it out! Food: far above average. Decor: older but makes sense for the theme. Staff: professional and attentive. Cleanliness: very clean. Bathrooms: very clean. Atmosphere: relaxing, chill French music playing.

Spectacular food in casual environs served by professional, yet relaxed waitstaff. No need to travel to the South of France. Just go to Le Petit Cafe.

Had and an absolutely great breakfast with family here. We had a wonderful time sitting outside. They don't take reservations but Manny told me to come a bit early when I called a week ahead and he had everything ready. He was a stellar enthusiastic server that knows the menu and made it a great day. The food was yummy. Parking can be a pain on the weekend unless you get there early then we had no problem. Later joiners had to park on the street but sitting outside was wonderful. They have a full bar and the food was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their time so this was a hit. Manny made the day awesome. Looking forward to coming back soon. The baguettes and croissants are heavenly too.

Ventura Harbor My daughter is visiting with me from out of state. After running some running around I decided to take her out to breakfast. The Ventura Harbor is a wonderful place to share with a loved one. I’ve never been to this restaurant prior to today and was blown away by the waitress Megan, the food, and the atmosphere. As we were sitting down eating along with the French music in the background I felt like Sabrina in the movie. Le Petit Cafe is not just a restaurant it’s an experience I HIGHLY recommend Le Petit Cafe And if you visit this wonderful place another plus is they have an incredible bakery with a wonderful variety of sweets that will excite your tastebuds Ask for Megan and tell her Pamela and her Teacup Rosie Rosie sent you

Best Eggs Benedict I’ve ever had and that’s saying something, they are only offered on the weekends. My fiance loved his seafood crepe! So much flavor and the servings size is worth the value. The Napoleon dessert was also very delicious. 10/10 we will be coming back.

Fabulous food. Great harbor side dining. Staff is wonderful. Pastries to die for.
