Established in 1983.
The Historic Busy Bee Cafe in Downtown Ventura, California is open 7 days a week 7-10 PM. Come and enjoy the 50's with us! We are a dedicated staff ready to serve our customers with our delicious food. With over 40 years of experience in the food business we work hard to bring the customer the best.
The Busy Bee Cafe location has been owned by Hilda and Edmund Warren since 1963. Opening as "Warrens Coffee Shop", it evolved as the premier meeting place for all of Ventura's earliest merchants. As time went on it took on a different decor, but always maintained its reputation for great ambiance and super delicious food.
In 1989, Ed & Hilda decided once more to change the decor. They decided to go back the 50's menus and theme. The waitresses wear cheerleader outfits and old school coin changers!
Bright red and white checkered tiles line the floors, and there is a juke box at every table. This theme has been a great success and we expect this trend to continue.
