Juice Bars & Smoothies in Ojai

“Excellent staff, excellent food, and excellent ambiance. Really can't go wrong with this spot. They gave us great recommendations for our first visit to Ojai and to this restaurant. We got the chips with guacamole and salsa, peach iced tea, huarache, and the tamale. Everything was great portion size and the food tasted so fresh and filling. We also got the peanut butter and oatmeal cookies, both were good but a very coconut taste (which I'm not a fan of but if you are then these are your cookies!!). Definitely would return on my next visit to Ojai.“

“Spent the afternoon up in Ojai, and my friend suggested we try Yume. We ordered at a counter, was greeted and any questions we had were answered. Thought about one of their burgers but they looked too big to fit in my mouth so I opted for a bowl. I had the Wagyu Loco Moco bowl and my friend had the Wagyu BBQ bowl. It was nice so we opted to sit in the back patio area. Food came in a reasonable time. We both really liked our meals, the miso and edamame were great sides. Need to go back and try other items in the menu. Owner and other workers checked on us to see how things were and we told them the food was great, and we definitely need to go back.“

“Original Post (12/28/23): I went there in the fall. A friend drove me from Santa Barbara to Ojai specifically to go to Cafe Boku to try their vegan Reuben sandwiches. I really like vegan Reubens and was hoping to try theirs. We arrived a few minutes after 3 - and although their web site stated that they were open until 5, the cashier told us that the kitchen closed at 3! We had to go to Hip instead, which I really did not want to do. They will get a chance to redeem themselves today, as I am once again going to try to eat at the restaurant. However, this time I called ahead - and although the message on their answering system stated that they were open until 5 - I chose to speak directly to someone there, and once again was told that they will close at 3. This time we will get there before 3, and I hope to be able to update this review with a more favorable.one. UPDATE (1/8/24): We returned on Thursday, 12/28/23. I was hoping to be able to state that their phone message and web site reflected their current hours. However, as of last night the phone message still claims that they are open until 5 - which is incorrect, the sign in their door shows a closing time of 3 for all open days. The web site shows 3 for most days, and 4 for a few. I would strongly suggest calling and talking to a person before going. This time we got to try their food. We both ordered the mushroom Reuben. It was a very good mushroom sandwich, but did not taste very much like a Reuben. My friend and I also both wished that the sandwiches had more filling (mushrooms and sauerkraut). The bread was sour dough - not pumpernickel - but it was a very good sourdough. I would order it again, but I would like to try other items on their menu. Unfortunately, the items that I am most interested in trying (the flat bread and the soup) are currently not available. The service was excellent - and we were even comped a part of our to go order to help make up for the disastrous first visit. We were also told that they are now completely vegan - so I can give them more than 3 stars. Updated from previous review on 2024-01-08“
