SIMONES COFFEE

Simones Coffee is an independent coffeehouse in Ventura, known for hand-crafted espresso drinks and coffee roasted in small batches by a local roaster. The menu also includes chai and matcha lattes, Italian sodas, fruit smoothies, and blended drinks, along with bagels, avocado toast, oatmeal, and made-to-order sandwiches, wraps, and bowls. Pastries come from local bakers.

The family-run shop opened in 1996 and added a second location in 2019. The Telegraph location is open every day of the year except Christmas, while the Cabrillo location keeps weekday hours only. Whole bags of coffee can be bought to brew at home.
