Review of Ojai's Treasure Beach and Cafe'

Local eatery serves up local ingredients in a unique boutique

A few weeks ago I had the joy of going to Treasure Beach and Cafe' and wrote about it for the VC Reporter. When I spoke to them that day they told me they'd started serving Sunday brunch and I must say the menu sounded scrumptious!

They specialize in fresh preparations of seasonal, local ingredients and list the local, often Ojai, food sources on the menu. They also change the menu every week to fit what's available from growers.

I have posted more photos after the jump so you can see just how yummy it was. Here is the review in the VC Reporter.

Hope you enjoy!!

An Angelic Meeting on Mardi Gras

Poached Egg on Jambalaya


Gotta Have Your Beads!



I believe that each person we encounter throughout our day leaves an impression on us. Sometimes it's a person's smile or what they do for you, other times it's what they say. If we are lucky, we only come upon people who uplift and inspire us but truly that isn't always the way life is. That's why my experience felt special.

I had a fabulous Mardi Gras in Ventura, Ca. I donned what beads I could find, walked around with my honey and had food at our local Cajun joint. I had aspirations of cooking but they had to get in order behind the other things I'd dedicated to doing this week.

I was sooo glad to have a spot to visit where I could at least see etouffee, jambalaya and crawfish on the menu. And it's only a few blocks from my house so it was super easy!

While there I also had the joy of meeting a gentleman who touched me. His smile, countenance and spirit were a joy to be around. Here is the story of our meeting.
