Best coffee in the area. Owner is a hoot! Love this place. Serious, there are a few shops you can go to, this one is worth returning to again and again.

Not only was at the best, gluten-free scone I’ve ever had in my life, it was the best scone I have ever had in my life in general! Blueberries and orange icing on it was amazing, the workers there were so welcoming and lovely. My iced latte was delicious, and I totally went to this place on a whim, but I will definitely be going back! It was also exciting to see that on St. Patrick’s Day they had gluten free Irish soda bread, and it was also delicious! It is not celiac friendly; however, if you don’t mind Cross contamination and are just gluten intolerant I definitely recommend this place! Or if anything stop by for the coffee/tea!

These people from owners to staff are so kind and accommodating you can’t wait to go back. The gluten free muffins are incredible and so is the quiche! That’s all I’ve tried so far because it’s so good!Dietary restrictions: The wide variety of gluten free choices are very much appreciated!

What a great little road side café! It's a bit off the side of the road so it might be a bit easy to miss, but they have really great breakfast sandwiches, and super tasty breads as well so it's very much worth the stop.I tried the blueberry lemon bread toasted with butter and it was heaven! Great friendly service, tasty espresso drinks too. I'm looking forward to the next time I'm passing through the area so I can try even more of their pastries/breads!I should have taken some pictures, but it was so good I ate everything too quickly to get any photos haha!

A great place for awesome soda bread, baked goods and coffee. The owners great, quite a conversationalist, and the views of the golf course in the redwoods beautiful.

Wow! There was another review on here that mentioned the owner sending them a private message and they weren't kidding. Miss Kari the owner private messaged and "lit" me up! See below: Kari K. I have since talked to my employees since reading your review and you were offered time and again at the counter to be reimbursed. Shame on you! I will Be reporting your Yelp to the powers that be!! Kari Kemp, owner In the first place I never said the employee refused to give me a reimbursement. I said it should have been done so without making a scene about how to do it, if they could do it, etc. The MAIN problem was the business practice of putting a 15% tip on any order over $40 and the only way you know is if you read through your WHOLE menu to the bottom left. Who does that? Why didn't your staff let me know when they rang me up? Why wasn't your staff trained in how to reverse a charge without having to call across the store to find out? 15% for an order you place at the counter and pick-up at the counter. Now you have shown your true self "behind closed doors". What would make you think sending me a threatening private message was going to make things better for you? Am I supposed to be afraid of the "powers that be" comment? I have zero problem talking to yelp and as can be seen by my account I am overwhelmingly positive so you go for it! So, in your public response you are so professional and then you get nasty and threatening by direct message. Not classy, not professional.

Charming little coffee shop and bakery. The owner and her staff make you instantly feel welcome. The frittata and baked goods were fantastic.

Luis Penaloza

Great organic coffee and love the home pastries. And the owner is a character, funny, rough in a funny way.

Any time you are at Northwoods Golf Course (it’s right next door) or driving to the coast, you’ve got to stop here and try any of their delicious breakfast breads (with very generous slices). From ginger peach, chocolate-chocolate cherry, blueberry lemon, orange with icing, banana nut w/chocolate to authentic Irish Soda bread and more — this place is the real deal. Plus they will heat it up for you and add butter! Mama Mia!! Loads of different teas and coffee are also available. Outdoor seating area with a view of Sonoma County’s stunning redwoods completes the scene.Parking: Easy parking in front

One of the best mochas I've ever had! They have a large selection of breads and the pumpkin chocolate one was quite tasty with big chunks of chocolate and a nice spice flavor (not too much pumpkin specifically).

Kristine K.

Delicious! Everything they bake here is amazing, my favorite though is the Elvis bread (who can say no to bacon?!) get there early as it sells out quick lol! Great coffees made perfectly and very kind staff make this one of my favorite morning stops in the beautiful redwoods. They also have a wonderful place to sit outside that is so comfortable, and nice to people watch or just enjoy the breeze.
