What truly sets Grand Central Petaluma apart is Natalie and Juan Carlos's vision as community builders. They've transformed this space into something extraordinary, regularly hosting everything from intimate art exhibitions, to lively children's and cultural events, and captivating live performances. You can feel the genuine care the owners pour into this community by providing a space to celebrate art, connection, and the unique spirit of Petaluma.

The coffee and food are exceptional, but it's the warmth and authentic charm that keeps drawing me back. A true local gem.“

“The owners are so nice and help as much as they can. The Cup of love has a impressive selection of food and practically any flavor for your coffeee, tea or smoothie.“

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

“Great food atmosphere great staff“

“A must eat in Sonoma! The smaller storefront hides a nice patio in the back garden. The staff there are unbelievably kind and attentive. Our pastries and breakfast meals were wonderful! My husband ordered the breakfast burrito which was very substantial and I ordered the avocado toast which was super fresh! Will definitely be back again when visiting Sonoma!“

“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.“

“Excellent flavors- Turkey wrap❤️“

“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! ♥️“

“Very cool place in an old motorcycle garage. The coffee shop in refurbished trailer. The barista is the reason for 5-stars. She knew her stuff and was able to specifically make a drink to order. Made great suggestions. The breakfast burritos good too. Coffee tasty. Good outside sitting. Fence made of doors. Vintage working Evel Knievel pinball machine.

Parking: You can also park in the huge Safeway grocery lot directly adjacent to the coffee shop lot.

Kid-friendliness: Lots of room for kids to go. Although the drive through is right in the middle of the place.“

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

“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“

“What a beautiful peaceful serene experience. Very aesthetically pleasing, calming, inclusive (check out couple videos I attached). I’d say this place stand out from others, decide for yourself and make sure to check it out if you’re in the area.

I was very grateful for their fresh and delicious vegan option — mushroom tartine, which to me tasted like a generous perfect sourdough toast with warm freshly sautéed mixed mushrooms with a light hint of garlic bedded on almond ricotta and topped with thyme.

You can omit cheese and get a salad for a healthy plant-based meal. The freshly squeezed juice is the cherry on the top. My husband had a chocolate croissant but tomorrow we’ll order something else to try. People say Thor muffins and cinnamon rolls are great, coffee and other drinks.

You also can browse and buy some good and unique/quality gifts or souvenirs here to remind you about this place. I’ll come back here tomorrow for breakfast - we are here for a wedding, wish I could visit more often.

There are so many well-thought little details in eco-chis style with lots of plants, use of wood and stone, and other organic natural materials in neutral and earthy palette with lots of light. I’m not a designer but that’s how I felt. Thank you to owners and chef. Thank you for offering vegan options.

“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!“

“Amazing breakfast! I highly recommend the French toast and chilaquiles“

“Good music, food & drinks.“

“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! 😊“

“We stopped in to charge our car and decided to grab a quick bite while we were there. Found this little cafe and ordered an off the menu custom salad. They were great at making it happen! They're just really good people and we'll be charging our car their on our road trips moving forward so we can grab a coffee and some food before we head back out. BONUS: It's in a shopping outlet so, yeah. ?“

“Amazing atmosphere and vibe! Food was delicious! Price was to be expected for the area but definitely worth it 🫶🏻🪷“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best deli in Sonoma County👍👍👍👍👍“
