Café Ficelle

Great authentic French fare. Love the pastry and coffee choices. The lunch menu offers freshly made bread for the sandwiches. Lots to choose from. There's a patio if you want to bring your dog...

Arguably the best French pastries in Ventura. An almond croissant beside an earl gray tea latte is my favorite treat but everything I've tried is delicious. Good social distancing protocols in place, too

I got the waffle with banana nutella on top!!! Crazy good! My favorite Sunday funday treat. Wonderful people and over the top french pastries. Make it a must stop! You will not be disappointed.

OMG!!!!!! Why are they a block away from my house. I walked there 2 days in a row. Simplicity at its best. If you appreciate fresh baked bread of the French variety, this is the place. Since they are still in soft opening mode i cant wait to see what menu items they offer. If the bread and pastries are any indication, it will be great.

Always fresh made, always delicious. Love the ambiance and mostly the almond croissants. (But seriously don't try one...you'll love it too and then there might not be enough for the rest of us)

Sourdough bread is good. The kouign amann is one of the best I have tried. Surprisingly, the canele's flavor was a tad short for my taste: I could not detect the dark rum. We'll give it a try again next week.

Solid solid Solid. My new go to in Ventura! Awesome pour over coffee! Everything I’ve ever gotten has been unique and delicious. What are you waiting for try it out! Also a plus for California people. Lots of parking! Easing in and out!

Hey are you still reading??? Go eat there now

Unfortunately the pastries seemed old because they were hard and had burnt flavor, every other time they perfect. Also seems like the cashier helping me didn't want to be there. She just stared at me instead of asking what I wanted, she also did not know what she had run out of either.

The pastries are authentic. It’s not easy to pick just one, but everything I’ve tried here has been good, so you can’t go wrong. The Kouign Amann is delicious and huge!
It is light and bright inside and I have had excellent customer service. Whenever I visit I feel like I’ve been on a mini vacation.

NOT COVID SAFE. The Ventura mask mandate was reinstated a few days ago, yet over half of the employees here were not wearing masks. We have ordered curbside about four times now, and each time we have waited 15+ minutes for someone to answer the phone. Also messed up some of our most recent order and the food quality was not up to par with my previous orders.
