“The best quality local bakery. Lived in Cotati and was first introduced, than moved to Sebastopol and was blessed to have them in the Barlow. Sucks they got gouged out on rent for some stuffy French bakery. But I know they are doing better in Santa Rosa (smart move)“
“"Mai Vietnamese Cuisine is my go-to spot for lunch, and I'm always delighted with their offerings. Without fail, I opt for the S2 Pho, but with a twist - I substitute the original broth with Bun Bo Hue broth, which infuses the dish with a delightful spiciness. The Bun Bo Hue broth boasts rich flavors that elevate the soup to another level, providing a satisfying kick. Additionally, they provide a variety of fresh veggie sides to enhance the pho experience. I never miss out on their freshly made spring rolls, a perfect accompaniment to the meal. I highly recommend giving it a try! Beyond the delicious food, the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming; it's evident that the owner takes pride in the restaurant, often seen working alongside the team."“
“Best Ever! Food is outstanding, loved the yellow curry, mango with black sticky rice, and Thai iced tea. Portions are large enough to share with others and the prices are fantastic. Family of four was under one hundred. My favorite place to eat in Sonoma county!“
“Go to this restaurant asap- they may be closing soon! This was hands down the best Chinese food we've had in years. The owner was our server and he was amazing. We had two boys with us and he kept them happy and engaged the whole time... just so sweet and he went above and beyond. We had sweet and sour chicken (phenomenal), broccoli and beef (amazing), honey walnut prawns (incredible), ham fried rice (wonderful flavor) and bbq pork chow mein (delicious). I wish we had found this place sooner! It was clean and cozy and just felt comfortable for a family.“
“Went here for dinner, and it was perfect! Haven't been here in some time, but I've been here for dinner and live music in the past, and it is great! and I forgot how good it is! Tonight Ernesto was our server, and he was awesome! Went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our meals, and made good suggestions when we placed our orders. I had the turkey chili, and it was very good! I'm going to this place next time we are thinking of a place to go! It will be soon! Thanks for a good,long lasting place! AN“
“Tradewinds is my favorite downtown cotati bar for sure. Spacious inside and they have the back patio area which is also decent sized. Atmosphere is good, and they have darts and pool so you're not just standing around with a drink in your hand.Parking: Decent sized lot in the back but on Thursdays it can get pretty packed and you might have to park elsewhere cause the damn college kids take all the spots.“

“Omg! We just had the best dinner date ever! So refreshing! The place is welcoming, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the wine is delicious and the menu is mindfully crafted! For the vegetarians and vegans out there, get ready to be blown away by fresh ingredientes and delicious recipes! The French lentil soup was the best soup I've ever had in my life! The lasagna bolognese omg!! The baguette! Don't even think twice! The whole ordering ahead was really cool too! Just come to n in and have an experience for yourself! Just wow!“
“Sam is your guy to get the job done right. I was charged with getting lunch for a working group of 55 people and had to wait until the morning of the event to provide Sam with the final 30 or so orders. I had reached out to him well in advance, and gave him the initial half of the order several days before the day of the lunch. He was patient, kind, and made sure he had all the necessary details to get the order done right. When the working group finally gathered in person the morning of the lunch, I got an additional 30 orders to send to Sam. Not only did he finish the entire order less than 2 hours later, but he ended up individualizing everyone's order and made special effort for the Vegan and Vegetarian requests. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. Sam will make your big order a breeze for you, and work hard to get the order completed on time and in an orderly fashion. He's the best in the biz! - Jonathan E.“
“I had the Herbal Mocha (brewed with roasted roots with reishi and maca added) and it was delightful. It was a rich and earthy bouquet without being bitter like some similar drinks can be. My barista (who I think was Emilou!) was very kind, and gave me some guidance on where in town I should check it because I haven't been in Sebastopol since 2007 and it's changed a LOT since then. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying their tea selection.Dietary restrictions: Good variety of milk alternatives“
“Gulten free goodies, I a picky gf eater...I had to give a review for this place. It's AWESOME!! I have tasted other bakerys and won't give a review..this one earned a review. Thank you for making tasty goodies for those of us that miss out.“
“The menu features an array of mouthwatering dishes, from sizzling fajitas and savory enchiladas to flavorful tacos and fresh ceviche. Each dish is expertly prepared with the finest ingredients and authentic recipes, ensuring a dining experience that is both delicious and memorable. With its friendly staff and festive ambiance, La Hacienda del Toro is the perfect destination for a casual meal with family and friends or a special celebration.“
“Really cute little cafe with all sorts of pizza and baked good options! The servers are quite nice too. I got the most inventive bread pudding that appeared to be a muffin initially. It was lovely and the serving size was massive - felt that it was reasonably priced for the $4.50-$5 that it was .“
“This is a fabulous neighborhood pizza joint. The service is great and they always remember me even though I've only been there 3 times in the last year. It's just a counter so there's no decor to speak of but there is some outdoor seating a few doors down. This is a great spot particularly if you like big, soft dough around the edges. Great for dipping. A medium pepperoni pizza can feed me for 3 days which is saying something considering how expensive food is these days. Pro-tip: if you aren't eating it all in one sitting it freezes great and comes back fresh and tasty if you warm it back up in a cast iron pan with the lid partially on.“
“Made a pit stop here, and we were pleasantly surprised by how good it was! We loved the aqus flat bread. We also got the aqus flatbread, Mediterranean flatbread, salmon nicoise salad, and smoked chicken flatbread. The aqus was my favorite. I thought it might be too rich, but the duck and gorgonzola were well balanced, and the duck was juicy. The menu was really well priced, which was unexpected considering all the fresh ingredients.“
“Delicious food, great service, and again DELICIOUS FOOD. Stopping here is a must if you love authentic nepalese cuisine! ?Also I did see some reviews about it being pricey. I totally disagree. You get a lot for what you pay.I selected the Chicken Tiki Masala at I believe around $20 and that came with soup and my choice of brown or white rice. I also ordered a side of naan at maybe $4-$5 and there was more than enough leftover to have for dinner later on. You get more than what you pay for is all I’m saying, given the quality and quantity of food served.All in all it was about $20-$30 per person with a drink.“
“Dawn and her team make the MOST delicious treats. As someone with celiac’s disease who isn’t able to eat gluten, I am so thankful that I have found someone that makes baked goods that you can’t tell are gluten free! Love them!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“
“Oh my..... where do I start? This place was OUT OF THIS WORLD!! A truly amazing gastronomic experience! Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was WAY better than I expected and I expected it all to be delicious! My mom, who came with me, said that this place is what most places strive for but will never achieve. We are absolutely blown away! I wish I lived closer as I would frequent this place regularly! When I was there I ran into a lady that said she came from LA once a month for this place and I can see why! I was on a road trip from Seattle to Simi Valley and was told by my sister to stop here. I'm beyond glad I did as I had an experience I will never forget! I even brought home one of the amazing peanut butter rice krispie treats for my friend to try and they also said it was absolutely delicious and better than expected! Very cute tea house ambiance and exceptional service. The owner was extremely personable, kind and welcoming. Totally and completely worth every penny! Take my money!! Do yourself a favor and stop here vegan or not!“
“I’ve been here twice now, and can’t get enough! I tried the minty chocolate ice cream that they had, can’t remember the name and it was delicious. But my absolute favorite was the lavender ice cream with the gluten-free waffle cone. I do not have a gluten intolerance, but I ordered it because the waffle cone was cinnamon flavored and it was amazing.“
“Stopped by this adorable little spot for a smoothie and cookies. When I walked in, the smell made my mouth water. They also have soup and lite lunch fare. I got a chocolate chip walnut and a lavender honey cookie. Delicious. I met the owner and she was the sweetest. Her helper too. I can't wait to go back. Bringing some home to San Diego with me.“
“Best cakes you can buy. If you can create it she can bake it. An amazing talent with an amazing spirit. Friendly. Fun. Easy to get along with. And the best damn baker I know. For the level of quality (now easily the 10th cake she's baked for me) I can honestly say that her prices are almost inexpensive. The last cake Carolyn made for us was a 14 inch double layer Boston cream cake. It was amazing. I'm sorry that I was so stupid to not take a picture. It was so delicious that it was eaten entirely that night by just 30 people. (Multiple second pieces, I had 3rds) promise if you ask Carolyn she'll know which one I'm talking about. It was absolutely stupendous ! The custard was amazing and the ganache top was ridiculously thick and decadent. My latest request is a toasted coconut cream cake. I promise to post pictures of this one .“
“I came here to try the birria ramen and it was delicious! The server was happy to tell us about their most popular dishes for next time (and there will be a next time). The chips were served with salsa and a bean dip. The bean dip left us wanting more. The birria ramen did not disappoint. It was quite the serving and the garnishes gave it so much flavor. The spicy salsa enhanced all the flavors. The server told us it would do so, and he was right. It's a small place with tv's. They play music which I enjoyed very much. They do not serve alcohol. Parking is easy in the lot. Although it's a small restaurant, I noticed a lot of takeout, which is always a good sign.“
“Inviting calm quiet atmosphere. Very personable staff. Great drink selection. Nigori sake is a treat not to be missed. I haven't had a roll I didn't like but my favorites are the golden bear, dragon roll, four seasons, under the sea, and Shogun special.“
“This place is phenomenal! Starting with the atmosphere, it definitely has an European feel to it that I’ve rarely seen elsewhere. The pastries are works of art, and incredibly delicious. You can taste the care and love they put into their craft. The special occasion cakes are incredible. They truly care about their customers and create a welcoming and delightful atmosphere.“
“This has become our go to place; pizza is tasty, good crust, not doughy or too thin. Prices reasonably, especially on specials (every Tuesday).Vegetarian options: Any meatless pizza; quite a selection.Parking: Not always available immediately in front of store, but never more than short walk at most.Wheelchair accessibility: In Pacific Market shopping center, all chair accessible.“
“This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the US! you MUST come here. It mig. This is a very cute, little restaurant off the side of the road, it might look unassuming, but it is some of the BEST Mexican food you will eat. Parking There's a little parking lot right infront of the restaurant. There aren't a lot of parking spaces but there's always at least one available! Ambiance The restaurant is so cute! It is small and has tons of cool art on the walls. The restaurant has a very nice calm and causal vibe, which is so so nice. Service The service is 10000/10 amazing! The owner is the sweetest most warm, genuine woman you will ever meet. She is so kind and generous and makes you feel so welcome as soon as you walk in the door! She is attentive and provides extremely fast service and even better conversation! You can tell she works hard and genuinely cares about serving amazing food and connecting with people. Her Mexican food is unbelievable, and she also cooks Persian food from time to time! The other staff are amazing as well, I have never had a bad experience here - everyone is extremely nice and friendly and you will get your food immediately because their service is super fast! Food The food is AMAZING. It is some of, if not the best Mexican food I've had in the US. I usually get the Carnitas Super and the Carnitas Tropical Burritos. The carnitas in the burrito are PERFECT and the best I've ever tasted - it is so charred, salty, savory and just the best texture and flavor you will ever have. The refried beans and rice are sooooo soft and fluffy and savory. The white beans in the tropical burrito are soft and chewy and add the best flavor combo with the chipotle apple salsa and corn. The Carnitas Tropical is a must try burrito! The chipotle apple salsa provides the most amazing sweet flavor that balances the salty carnitas so perfectly. They also serve complimentary salsa and chips with every order - the habanero salsa is spicy and SOOOO good that I always order a pint of it to go. They offer the most unique Mexican food that I guarantee you have never tried and they have tons of Vegan and Vegetarian options that are equally as good! Their desserts are also to DIE for...the flourless, vegan chocolate lava cake is insane. You must get this. It is so chocolaty and decadent and you can't tell it is vegan. The cheesecake, cakes and flans also look amazing, but I have yet to try. Overall This is a must try restaurant and one of my favorite of all time. The location, service, ambiance, and most of all the food, are all amazing and make the perfect experience. I will always love Viva Mexicana, and I'm sure you will too!“
“Very nice waitstaff. We came in at 7:45 and they close at 8:00. I was ready to accept that they might send us away but it was the opposite. They seated us at a lovely table. They quickly took our order so they could get it to the kitchen before close. There were three tables with customers till about 8:30 when they kindly gave us a ten minute notice and we all paid and made our way out. I look forward to coming again when I have time to look at the beautiful decor and try more delightful dishes.“
“A cultural expression of baked goods , lunch items, coffee and the Abuelita de chocolate ( the best hot chocolate you can imagine ) The staff is one reason I go to Tia Maria's . Helpful, friendly and now I know them by name , due to my frequent visits . Get a punch card for coffee and or sandwiches . Fill the card and that item next time if free. My friends grab a table and enjoy this cafe for several hours without being asked to adiós. Hispanic holidays are filled with traditional treats and getting to see those traditional baked treats right here is a cultural adventure for the eyes, and mouth . Yum 5 stars“
“Fantastic tasting and healthy food, most of the menu is gluten free. The staff are all extremely courteous and kind. The portions are big and the prices are very fair. I will definitely go back and I highly recommend checking this place out to anyone considering!Dietary restrictions: Lots of GF options“
“Great service and a great tasting experience! Andrew was awesome to chat with about Hoocha’s growth and selection. The tasting room is soon to be opened, but they do intimate tastings by appointment via their website. This place is going places! We especially loved the Paloma and Pomegranate Mimosa flavors. We’re excited to come back the next time we’re in town and see how they’ve grown. Cheers!“
“Love this little place. The Alice in Wonderland art is so cute! We got potato cakes, eggs, and a quinoa bowl. All of it was good. It took a while but it's ok...I'd rather have food that someone put some time into rather than slopping it on a plate. Nice staff.“
“Get here early or you'll wait in line to get a table. Beautiful set up inside. You can sit to dine or just go to the pastry or bread line to purchase baked goods to take home. Love the French bistro vibe. We sat at the community table. Not too bad. Didn't like the cold air hitting me every time the door opened but, hey, I've got a seat. While my party sat down, I wandered to check out the pastries. Everything looked absolutely scrumptious! Difficult to decide but I ended up selecting these pastries to take home. You can also just order from here and bring it to your table. Blueberry Cloud Chocolate Croissant Apple Braid Jam & Cream When I returned to my table, my party had already ordered their coffees. Gorgeous gigantic lattes and I ordered a cappuccino. Took a minute for coffees to arrive. Dishes are large portions. Plated nicely and looked amazing. We ordered: A cup of Asparagus Soup - delicate but full of flavor. If you love asparagus, you'll enjoy this. Corned Beef Hash - generous portion of meat topped with 2 perfectly poached eggs. Hope you're hungry! Croque Madame Egg Breakfast Service was great. Our waitress was friendly and professional. She always checked on us. She had a great attitude.“
“Just passing through town and delighted to find a really great cafe like this. Quality drip coffee and latte, and the breakfast burrito was delicious. The interior is spacious and very thoughtfully designed, with ample seating. And the staff managed a long Sunday-morning queue quickly and with aplomb.“
“This is the spot if you are like me and doubt the health value of greasy fatty or sugary breakfast foods that are standard in the American diet. This place had good breakfast alternatives with simple and clean ingredients , yet full of flavor.“
“I like the creativity of this restaurant, specifically how they use fries as the base for their bowls and creating a unique meal out of it. I’ve been here a few time before, and I always stick with the bowl I got since day one. Southwestern bowl is great for poutine lovers who like a bit of a spicy kick. Great place to kick back with friends and eat.“
“We love Nothing Bundt Cakes! They have multiple flavor and decorative options and their cakes are always so moist and delicious! We used them for our son's 16th birthday ordering one large and multiple minis mixing and matching flavors! The online ordering system was easy to use and was ready within 48 hours! Would recommend and will definitely use again.“
“Stopped by this cafe in Cotati,Ca and had a Latte which was good. Very spacious dining area,and various food and drink options. Located in a small plaza just off 101 West. I noticed they have medium size breakfast burritos that are made locally. Service great and the owner is friendly.“
