Welcome to Zoey's Café

Zoey's Café was opened by Fran, Dave and Jenny Stewart in the early summer of 1998, and is now owned and operated by Suzanne and Michael James Perry. A charming secluded café by day and lively music venue on the weekend evenings, Zoey's has quickly become one of Ventura's favorite eateries. The cafe menu offers fresh salads, original sandwiches and a unique selection of pizza, as well as other delicious innovative dishes, along with a great selection of beer and wine. Whether you are looking for a quiet indoor, or al fresco lunch away from the bustle of the office, a quick bite before catching a movie, or a relaxing evening of music, Zoey's has it all.   Zoey's Cafe

Coffee by the Fire A wide variety of teas and specialty coffee beverages is available; fine wine, premium beer and an assortment of delicious homemade desserts round out a menu that is always tempting.   AND ... if it's just coffee you want visit ZOEY'S Coffee Loft Espresso Bar upstairs.

Zoey's Patio Zoey's décor is as unique as its fare. Nestled at the top terrace of El Jardin Courtyard in downtown Ventura, Zoey's is a classic sidewalk café with a variety of sunny and shaded seating on the vine-sheltered patio, and fresh flowers on every table. Paintings by local artists decorate the interior of the café; different artists are featured throughout the year.

Entertainment at Zoey's is eclectic: a folk singer or small rock band on Friday evening is likely to be followed by traditional Irish on Saturday night, classical guitar on Sunday afternoon, and exotic Latin music or jazz on the following weekend. Kevin McCormick, Jim Christie, Jonathan and John McEuen Even the legendary John McEuen of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the String Wizards has been seen "sneaking in" to the Coffee Loft to join son Jonathan for a set or two!   Check out our monthly Music schedule to find your favorite artist or musician.
