Rory's Other Place

Right next door to Rory’s Place (currently under construction after a kitchen fire), Rory’s Other Place should be your first stop in Ojai. This all-day cafe from the Rory’s team doubles as a neighborhood market stocked with enough fancy sardine cans and orange wine bottles to last a long weekend. Starting at 7:30am, Rory’s serves cloud-like blueberry scones, big breakfast burritos, and fruit-topped granola bowls. In the afternoon, you can graze on a briny niçoise salad, braised white beans dusted with parmesan, or a smoked salmon platter—all while sipping a glass of chablis. Expect to wait in line on weekends and don’t leave without a cup of the buffalo milk soft serve.
