“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!“

“Went to do an event with our food truck last week and came across this cute little place. The owner was super nice. Had the dirty Chai. Omg so so good.

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

“Best sandwiches😋 Yummmy😋😋“

“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. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Soft Butternut Squash Polenta topped with garlic & roasted trumpet mushrooms was divine. Highly recommended! Modest portion but all the more reason to savor. Also, the cup of seasonal vegetable soup was perfect, flavorful and comfortable. Yum!“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Every morsel is a treat every time for years! Yes, this is true! It is always crowded, I wish it wasn't but I understand that it must because too many people want to eat here...and so it is! And the staff are engaging, patient, efficient, and they appear to be content where they Are!, This community gem is a treat...drop in!! TY all of you who make it so! 🤗🎈😋🍐🍉🍓🥑🥒🥕🥓🥞🧀🥐☕️“

“Great place to grab a fresh bite for a great price. Staff is nice, very clean. I've had the mushroom pizza ( add extra mushrooms) surprisingly real good and have had thier eggs Benedict with potatoes added. Hot, fresh, yummy and for 13.00 total plus tax and tip. Totally worth it. They have great take home pasta meals for families. Thier hours are limited 9-11 breakfast 11-2 lunch m-f. I go in and do my banking at RCU and swing by to munch.“

“BY FAR THE BESSSSST! I’ve gone to other places before and they are good but this place the first thing I was impressed by is how clean and cozy it looks and felt. Then we were welcomed by the nicest smile a sweet lady! she was so kind as she welcomed us. We then sat down on the couches and she even brought us our sandwiches which we took to go! I’m surprised she wasn’t more busy this places definitely needs more attention. 🤍 Can’t wait to come again!!!!“

“This café is centrally located next to the railroad and is tastefully decorated. The small outdoor tables give it a charming, almost European atmosphere. The owner and her son were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious, and the coffee was outstanding. They also offer a wonderful selection of sweet pastries. We ordered the avocado toast, and it was next level—served on fresh sourdough and topped with perfectly balanced spices and fresh greens. If you’re looking for the best breakfast spot in Santa Rosa, this is it! Updated from previous review on 2026-07-26“

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

“Thank you for good service“

“I’ve been to Quickly a lot. Was glad when they opened in town. Strangely, my fav is almond milk tea with boba. It’s always good and that’s what I like. When I go to other boba places I struggle to try and figure out what to get and most of the time they are just ok.“

“great atmosphere great beer great people“

“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.“

“Different breakfast choice so I go back for more“

“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.“

“Good music, food & drinks.“

“Delicious Sunday Breakfast!“

“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.“

“This is a wonderful quiet place to grab coffee, a cold drink (The fresh mint lemonade is divine) A pastry or a light meal. The staff is always friendly and obliging, and the atmosphere is Quiet and soothing. I wish they were open a little later than 4 PM, I’m I keep hoping for more foot traffic so they would have a reason to be open later“

“As a parent with a 20 month old this place is perfect! Everyone wins. On a Sunday, toddler gets a bite, mom gets a fun latte, dad gets a beer and parents split a great meal in the shade while our daughter plays. Reasonable prices. It feels too easy. We'll be back!“

“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.“

“After five hours on the road, this place greets you like a warm hug. Exceptional doormen and front desk folks us settled us in our room, Sarah at the Café made sure we wanted for nothing when it came to fresh, pleasing local fare and drink. This area is within a minutes-long Uber ride or walk to some outstanding restaurants, but if you are searching for a representative array of small plates or entrees, there’s no need to leave the premises. Enjoy!“

“The best deli in Sonoma County👍👍👍👍👍“

“This café turned out to be a great find. The ambiance is simple but stylish, and it feels very comfortable even during busy hours. It’s a good spot for both quick visits and longer stays.

The menu has a solid selection, and everything I tried was tasty and well-prepared. The coffee stood out in particular — rich, aromatic, and served at the perfect temperature.

Service was quick and efficient, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The staff seemed attentive without being intrusive.

Overall, it’s a reliable place with good quality food and a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out.“

“My daughter and I just love this place! Their Spam Musubi is the best I’ve had, and I’ve had it many places. Their drinks are always delicious and my daughter is obsessed with the Taro Waffles. The staff are super friendly and helpful, especially Stephen, who even remembers our regular order!“

“I’ve seen this cafe here since it opened and wanted to try it. I’m glad I did! The food was good and the service was great. Our waitress provided service with a smile and made my mom’s 83rd birthday breakfast a hit! Good place to go with a warm atmosphere and great food!“

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