Busy Bee Cafe
478 E Main St, Ventura, CA
Crema's Take
“Busy Bee Cafe is a genuine 1950s-style diner where regulars swear by off-menu favorites like their exceptional chicken and waffles, and the kitchen genuinely cares about accommodating dietary preferences with solid vegan options alongside hearty comfort food. The vintage atmosphere, family-owned hospitality, and all-day breakfast menu make it the kind of place where you'll want to linger over coffee whether you're alone or with a group, and their Mexican wedding soup is reason enough to keep coming back.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

I really enjoy going here even if it’s only me I still have a good time. That Mexican wedding soup (Abodongo or something) is the most delicious that I’ve had & I order that @ many different restaurants in Ventura. Then their drink menu is outstanding. No matter who is serving…
Love so much that they have vegan options and supported the Vegan Chef Challenge again this year. Delicious options! Great service too!
Old times style dinner. Classic decor and music. Everything served all day, serves alcohol, specials, family owned/staffed, friendly, delicious homemade food. Leftovers were even better 2nd day. Already planning to go back. Highly recommend.
This place is simply amazing and full of atmosphere. I once tried the chicken and waffles here, and it’s the best place that makes it — even though it’s not on the menu, I order it every time. Everything else is just divine as well: the sandwich, the soup, the pastas… You…
Wow, what a cool American style diner that feels like stepping into the 50’s. The vibe is great and the breakfasts are both tasty and filling.
