This friendly blocks-from-the-beach café brings a taste of Australia to town and gives it a coastal Californian spin, serving breakfast and lunch Wednesday through Sunday from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Owners and husband-wife team Joel and Charne Huff are hospitality industry veterans; Ventura native Joel has enjoyed a 30-year career in fine dining. He keeps the menu simple and adds specials daily. All-day favorites include the Brekkie Roll, Frontside Burger, and Aussie Meat Pie. For breakfast, house-made pastries and breads include the popular toasted banana bread with salted brown-butter cream-cheese spread. The Chicken Katsu Sandwich is a star on the lunch menu. An upscale coffee program features Ventura-based Beacon coffee.
