50 Best Cafes near Cotati

“Great food but the real draw is the staff. So friendly. Great ambience.“

“Best breakfast burritos, hands down. Just stoped by randomly looking for something to wake me up and eat- their potato, egg, cheese and pork burritos is to die for. They also just started used a little grill for these and they crispy flour tortilla was so amazing. I think their salsa is house made? But it had the most perfect kick to it! Definitely recommend!!! Their chai is also really really good“

“Friendly staff. Amazing food! The corned beef hash was so tender and flavorful. delicious pesto chicken scramble! Just try itThey also make great lattes with various flavors including dulce de leche.“

“Great customer service! Food is good and plentiful! Nice atmosphere!“

“Neil not only makes a really great coffee beverage he is super consistent and it's always great! Not every coffeehouse makes a consistent cup. I have to be really careful with added sugars and Devine Mother Tea and Coffee makes the best Sugar Free Vanilla latte around. For your next cup go find the little Divine Mother Tea and Coffee booth!“

“Favorite coffee shop with the best coffee going on more than 23 years… No place I’d rather sit and do paperwork, listen to the music, engage in a random conversation with incredibly interesting person, you can even bring your dog.“

“First of all, they had egg nog lattes over the holidays!! It’s my favorite drink but was hard to find a good one last season. They have a great variety of drinks and are fast and friendly and easy to get into and out of. It’s my favorite coffee stop! ♥️“

“What a wonderful experience to be here at Café Frida! We are listening to incredible jazz while viewing beautiful art and having a delicious breakfast. This is a great addition to the arts in Santa Rosa“

“Great food atmosphere great staff“

“Sept 2025. Only 62 reviews? It's a 5-star review for a 70-80s style diner/cafe.

The Warm Puppy is a cafe built into the lobby of the Redwood Empire Ice Arena. The arena and cafe were built by Charles Schulz. A museum dedicated to the author of Peanuts is across the street.

A table dedicated to Charles (Sparky) is set aside with a 'reserved' sign waiting for the talented - but humble - genius to arrive.

It's a cafe folks. It's just fine for what it is.

We ordered sandwiches with fries. They were good and reasonably priced. Staff had trouble with English, but they created delicious sandwiches in a timely manner.

What else do you expect?“

“Loved my time there the food was so tasty. 💕“

“Food is delicious! We had the beet salad, blt sandwich, mushroom turnover, red lentil soup, lavender coffee, Arnold Palmer lemonade and the carrot cake WTH the yummiest frosting and the pb&j granola bar!
Would highly recommend eating here! You won’t be disappointed! 😊“

“And as soon as I'm finished I'm grabbing some sandwiches at Ulia's Delicatessen! I had to go way out to the end of Stony Point rd. to pick up a Bristor's Calltanger and take it up to Hedgepealer's Pandatty Ranch up on the top of Wragg Canyon Ridge, what a place, you can see Mt. Shasta, Mt. Diablo and the smog from San Jose all from a single spot. Those sandwiches I snagged from Ulia's sure were good....maybe the best on Santa Rosa. 5 Stars all day long. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Stellina is probably the only place in Petaluma with international quality standards. The price is moderate but the products that are received for it justify it. I've been going to this place for a couple of weeks and it really doesn't disappoint at all .5 Stars.“

“The staff is amazing and the food is delicious. Fast service and quick refills on your drinks.“

“I loved absolutely every single thing about this place! The welcoming, bright, beautiful space, the staff, the incredibly imaginative food (pussy willow pistachio, mochi donuts?!!!) , the elixirs and the vibe. I can't wait for my next trip to Sebastopol!“

“The food and service here are overall great. This place has the BEST grilled cheese and tomato bisque soup. I know what you're thinking ... that is so easy. This grilled cheese is so much better than what you can make at home with its fresh sourdough with parmesan, cheddar and mozzarella, plus an added homemade cheese sauce. The tomato bisque is so rich and creamy. I have to stop myself from ordering multiples. It's the ultimate comfort food.“

“Best coffee I have had in all of Northern California. Australian coffee snob approved.
The avo on toast and daily special focaccias were also the some of the best I have had anywhere in the USA.
Staff are super friendly and welcoming.“

“One of the best coffee shops !!!!! Love love love. A bonus would be if they offered more gf pastries. Otherwise, perfection � �“

“This cafe has very nice pastries and good coffee and the staff is very pleasant and amicable. Be aware though that they're not open everyday and that they often sell out of their most popular items quite early. Also, they could have more tables and chairs available outside but overall it's a really nice experience and you're supporting culinary students and the program, so despite their limited hours and seating it's a nice place to stop if you're in the area.“

“Last stop before leaving Petaluma back home. Boba is a necessity. The place is clean, the service is fast, and you can’t go wrong with boba. (Unless is undercooked or overcooked) ?? I get the black milk tea because it’s not too sweet and it’s always delicious. The Thai tea is good also. Quickly is pretty much the same anywhere. The bathrooms are clean (you have to ask for the key to enter). There is plenty of parking since it’s in a small shopping center. The kitchen closes at 7:30pm but the fried tofu wasn’t that delicious.“

“As a professional barista, I have a higher standard for coffee than most and will refuse to drink from most commercial roasters. Acre coffee is one of the best experiences I've had in a coffee shop yet. Legitimately good coffee, friendly faces, great atmosphere and an eagerness to bring you back in. 9/10. When coffee is this good, a long line can bring a wait time but the coffee, food and pastries are still well worth it“

“I have been coming here for several years. I like the mochas. It's a really nice atmosphere and centrally located. I have had many business meetings here.“

“The coziest Cafe in town, with a delicious & diverse menu and spectacular service. Relax on the patio or enjoy treats in the eclectic, locally loved Cafe!“

“Seriously the best bagels in the Bay! Family owned- very friendly and hard-working staff. Helps to call ahead-they are very fast and efficient. 5/5 😀“

“Budget friendly breakfast and lunch option that isnt greasy fast food. With groceries getting more and more expensive, gas at $6 a gallon, and starbucks jacking up their prices - it's refreshing to find a spot that's still affordable without sacrificing quality.“

“My husband and I come here whenever we can for breakfast or lunch. We usually get the Cals Mombo Combo and split it because the portions are enormous! It’s absolutely delicious and a household favorite. Starbucks is across the street so I think people tend flock there more. I really hope more people come to check them out— it’s a gem that deserves more recognition! Support local!“

“The spicy lovers egg sandwich is what good food is about. It is soo good. The lady today was by herself and she was friendly, fast, and it tasted so fresh and yummy. I can only eat half of one so I feel great. A whole one and your are risking a food coma. I'm glad I thought about them today and even though I don't need to go often I will start going once a month for a treat. Great place and I like it better than the chanate rd place. Clap back to the lady who called these ladies obnoxious. The reviewer is obnoxious. Thanks cafe de crossiont....so check on pastry thingy“

“Different breakfast choice so I go back for more“

“I’am an employee at the outlets and love this place. They have really good food and drinks, whether you are looking to get something quick or just a sandwich . I personally love their smoothies and all the flavors they offer I’ve tried them all and like them all.“

“first time experience, loved the avacado and meat lovers croissants.“

“One of the best coffee shops !!!!! Love love love. A bonus would be if they offered more gf pastries. Otherwise, perfection � �“

“Delicious Sunday Breakfast!“

“Thank you for good service“

“I had a coffee and a scone yesterday and it was fantabulous! I love this place! Try it, support small business and our Sonoma County community.“

“A hidden gem in Sebastopol! A beautiful place to meet with friends. I love the simplicity of the play space, as it leaves so much room for creative play. The barista makes killer drinks and the food is always so delicious! It’s off the beaten path, but well worth the visit.“

“Didn't know this was here, but just found it this morning. Definitely my new go-to for a fast, cheap, and tasty breakfast from a few lovely ladies.

Got the sausage breakfast wrap. Not a huge portion (which is a good thing), it was filling and tasty, and only $7! Not going to find anything that good for that price these days. You've got a new regular, will be back soon.“

“A nice quiet breakfast experience! Food was good, service was great!“

“This is a great place to get croissants and many more. I have bought so many croissants from this location and it is by far the best croissants I have eaten so far in my life. I don't know why people have lef less than 5 star reviews. The guys who attend this place are very friendly and always have a big smile. They are always very friendly, always. I definitely recommend this place. I have been buying from this place for more than 2 years now. Something I really like about the croissants from this location is that they are very crunchy. The croissants from other locations are somewhat soft and it's not my preferred way of eating croissants.“

“They took my order right before they closed and even substituted my noodles for pho noodles instead of Thai noodles. I never got the vibe that they were upset having customers right before close like most places would be cranky or complaining. Food was phenomenal. 10/10“

“It was a little early for lunch, and still cold from the night, Pinhead Pete and I were heading toward a breakfast joint on 4th when the Pin asks me who Joe is...Joe who I said, and he says My Friend Joe Coffee...who's this Joe guy? I looked him right in the eyes and said...See, ..That's exactly why everyone calls you Pinhead!
Well, we whipped it on in there ..it was right between breakfast and lunch, so I got the egg salad sandwich, and it was Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“great atmosphere great beer great people“

“This Boba was so good it made me cry. I get boba here from time to time, and it’s always good, but today I went there and it was amazing! I never caught the girl’s name who gave it to me, but I really hope she knows who she is. I got some rose milk tea on my way home after finding out campus was closed for a holiday and it was amazing. I have never had boba this good in my life. It made my day, I cannot praise how amazing this was. It literally made me cry in my car after I had the first sip because it was so good.“
