"Midtown Ventura is rapidly changing and progressing. Theres more and more of these trendy coffee shops popping up in every corner. And to be honest, they all suck- sorry but not sorry But Butter & Fold is different. Why you ask? The first thing I noticed was the legendary Faema E61 espresso machine (if you know, you know) and that to me was an immediate sign the owner was a traditionalist and not following bs coffee trends. My coffee was amazing 10/10. I caught myself scooping the coffee foam- which unlocked a core memory when I was in Italy drinking macchiattos, doing the same thing. Croissants were delicious too and elevated my entire coffee experience here. Butter & Fold is the real deal, no bs coffee"

"I had a fantastic experience! The pastry selection is incredible—everything from flaky croissants to rich, decadent cakes. Each pastry is fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The quality is outstanding; you can really taste the care and craftsmanship in every bite. One of the highlights is their versatile espresso bar. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic espresso, a perfectly balanced cappuccino, or a unique seasonal specialty, they have something for every coffee lover. The staff were friendly and attentive. They were happy to offer recommendations, and their passion for the menu really showed. The ambiance is calm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. Dining in was a great experience—the presentation of the food and drinks was lovely, and everything arrived promptly. Highly recommend this café for anyone looking for top-quality pastries, expertly crafted coffee, great service, and a peaceful environment to enjoy a treat!"

"Popped into Butter and Fold in Ventura this morning with my wife for breakfast, and we had a fantastic time! Despite some rough Yelp reviews slamming their matcha and baked goods, I’m so glad we gave it a shot. This place is super charming with a cozy French vibe that really sets the mood. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere is perfect for a laid-back morning in this beach community. The cappuccino was absolutely on point—like my Yelp friend Mickey said, they nailed it. The matcha latte was also excellent, especially hot, which brings out the flavor just right. Yeah, it’s a small spot, but that only adds to its appeal. Don’t let the negative reviews scare you off—this is a great place for a morning coffee and a relaxing vibe. Definitely worth a visit!"

"Lovely and cozy space! Delicious rotating pastries with organic ingredients. I've tried a few different coffees and loved them all. Their specials drink menu is creative and tasty!"

"Very flaky croissant which is my favorite style. They make fresh everyday and I liked to seeing preparing in kitchen while having coffee. Love classic building outside look is so nice. Coffee tastes good. Overall I liked serving coffee, food and atmosphere. It was worth driving in the morning to experience."
