The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf — Restaurant in Ventura

Great place to go to hang out or get some work done. I started visiting this location when the Starbucks down the street blocked off all their power outlets. There's lots of seating and plenty of power outlets for all the tables except the community tables in the middle. Every drink and bakery item I've tried has been delicious so far and the baristas are super friendly. I dont think they have a special kids menu but they are always happy to make whatever drink my 3y/o daughter asks for. There seems to be a good group of "regulars" that go here which is always fun. Altough I've never used it, there is also a large "conference" style room separate from the main seating area that is available to reserve, which is a really cool option. This is now my regular coffee...

The people that work here are always so nice. Plenty of seating in this location. I see people with laptops either working or doing school projects.

They also allow people to reserve this little room. I think you need to buy something though. I think we got a coffee box and some other stuff when we reserved this. You need to reserve in advance and set up a date/time. I think you can only reserve this room for maybe 1-3 hours at a time? I forgot. I would call them up and verify everything.

Also keep in mind the wifi does not work well in this room. There's like a dead zone in this room specifically but not the rest of the coffee shop. Not sure if they got that fixed yet but I would just keep...

I've had nothing but great experiences on every single one of my trips here. The service is not only excellent, but they are able to help you in an extremely timely manner so that you are able to grab your coffee, bagel, pastry, or tea and start your day! Now that their dark chocolate ice blended drink has been discontinued, my new go to drink here is the Mexican hot chocolate ice blended. The location is always clean, has plenty of sitting space, and there is always ample parking available. They also offer free wi-fi, so if you need a place to study, do some research, or do some leisurely reading, there are several seats/tables available...
