The Dutchess
The Dutchess took over the former space of longstanding Ojai spot Azu—which sadly shut down in the summer of 2021. And you can think of this all-day spot from the Rustic Canyon team as a real-life amalgamation of every well-styled photo of 'a boho cabin in Ojai' on the internet. It’s full of antique wallpaper, sturdy wooden furniture, and more quirky things you'd expect to find at a Sunday morning swap meet, like a coat hook shaped like a duck, for instance. 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. The tea leaf salad didn't blow us away on first-visit, but keep this spot in mind if you’re looking for a fun night out in Ojai.
