Oxnard Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I had a very pleasant lunch while walking my newly-adopted pup to her first veterinary check-up. It is just amazing how life works out.

I had gotten as far as the Van Nuys Orange Line station (which I have reviewed on Google Maps before), and I checked my Google Maps app. There was, indeed, a bus going down Oxnard Blvd., but it wasn't coming for 45 minutes. Since it was only 1/4 mile to the VCA Animal Services (another review by me), off we went.

It was a strangely warm day for March, and we both were thirsty and tired. As we plodded onwards, I began to perspire (dogs don't sweat). Just at the moment that I began to curse myself for not waiting for the bus, a beautiful oasis appeared before us.

We hobbled in, and a waitress approached us with water: a cup for me and a small bowl for her. She was an unusually attentive waitress. She was prescient.

I ordered the roast beef sandwich on white bread with nothing but mayonnaise and a glass of milk. In a few minutes, she returned with a half-sandwich and glass of milk and a small plate of plain roast beef and a saucer of milk. It's just amazing.

The sandwich was excellent, and the decor was mid-century American, but what was most memorable was that the place felt right. It felt like home.

The Oxnard Coffee Shop. The best lunch in Los Angeles....

The initial delivery was pretty quick but they brought me the wrong drinks! I called to let them know and ask for the correct ones. They didn't want to bring them to me, they wanted to just give me a credit for next time... Well I said I wasn't sure if there was going to be a next time and I would like the drinks I paid for. After that it then took them 30 minutes to bring me the correct drinks. While waiting I ate some of the fries and I could've made better ones from a frozen bag. The cheese sticks are pretty good and the burger was decent, not much different from Carl's jr though. Probably won't order delivery...

I have no idea how this place rates almost 5-stars. The food is mediocre and over-priced. Today was my first and last visit to this eatery.

I ordered steak and eggs. What I got were pieces of poorly marinated steak, eggs, packaged potato patties and bread.

The steak was awful. The problem is that they don't know how to properly marinate beef. They should have offered A1 sauce to drown the meat in.

The potatoes were from a package and had been frozen. They tasted like they'd been refrigerated. I also ordered a Jarritos soda since everything they offer to drink is either bottled or canned. The drink cost...
