Highly Likely Ojai — Restaurant in Ojai

If you're like us and you seek out a special avocado toast for breakfast, reward yourself with something different and savor the Maitake Tahini Toast, and add avocado . The combination of roasted mushrooms, earthy tahini, and bub and grandmas sourdough make for a rich journey of the senses.

Pair it with an iced matcha, which gets an honorable mention.

The farro salad with sheep's cheese olives radicchio and dates was scrumptious, sweet and savory.

Highly Likely, Ojai - Review

Newly opened Highly Likely offers an intriguing duality in Ojai, marrying elements of our town's natural charm with a sleek, urbanscape aesthetic.
