"If we lived in Ojai, the people working at The Dutchess would probably know our middle name, favorite song, and daily coffee order by heart. This all-day spot from the restaurant group behind Rustic Canyon is that comfortable. Much like every well-styled photo of "a boho cabin in Ojai" on the internet, this place is full of antique wallpaper, sturdy wooden furniture, and coat hooks shaped like ducks. Starting at 7am, they serve breakfast, lunch, and pastries, ranging from croque madames to samosa hand pies. If you stop in for dinner, expect a menu of Burmese-Californian dishes you won’t find anywhere else in town. They have a walk-in bar with a pool table in the back, so even if you can't snag a reservation, you can still drop by for a fun night out." - nikko duren
