“Yummy tasty soft serve. Especially the ube. And I’ve had lots around the globe and every Japan town I can frequent. Menu could be more clear and self explanatory between the “parfait” and “pm fav”. Mochi rice cakes could be improved - I’m a tough critic! All in all, really worth a try. Support your local business!“

“We were here for vacation and found this cool ice cream place. There are so many varieties that we asked them for their popular ones and yet I got the chacobanga and rose scoops on a cone and a chocolate in a cup. The service is great and the vibe is cool, literally you feel you are in a tropical place with music, vibe and great ice cream with amazing interiors. I loved the ambience and it seemed like a family owned business. I highly recommend it if you're here in Petaluma, go look out for this place, you will thank me later.“

“If this is not a stop on our yearly vacation to Inverness and Point Reyes then it becomes a problem fast. My wife and kids look forward to the ice cream here every year. They always have a great selection to choose from and it's always fresh. If there's a line which there often is, it's worth the wait.“

“Super fun location in the Alley! It was busy, but from order to received item was maybe 5 minutes. Soft serve was ok. We got a slush shake and it was good. There’s a lot to read on the menu and it all scrunched up on a board. Had different things you could add to your slush.“

“Servers are fun to talk with and to learn about the best treats!“

“BEST frozen fruit ever. I take my 2 grandchildren ages 1 and 3 EVERYTIME I come to visit from Folsom. They are now both into the sprinkles on top and besides their Mango and strawberry or passion fruit they now want GaGa's fresh pineapple popsicle. Yummy!“

“Crumbl Cookies Petaluma has quickly become our family’s go-to spot for those special moments that deserve something extra sweet. What sets this place apart isn’t just the incredible rotating menu of gourmet cookies it’s the genuine warmth you feel the moment you walk in. The staff here treats every customer like they’re picking out cookies for their own family. They’re patient with indecisive kids, generous with samples, and always happy to explain what makes each week’s flavors special. Last visit, they even helped my daughter choose the perfect birthday surprise cookies for her teacher. The cookies themselves are works of art thick, soft, and loaded with quality ingredients you can actually taste. Whether it’s their classic chocolate chip (which somehow tastes like childhood perfected) or one of their creative weekly specials, each bite feels like a small celebration. The pink boxes have become a symbol of good news in our house!“

“You make my birthday girl so happy, especially the Unicorn. Make her birthday for this year sweet...it really makes her enjoy this lonely birthday becomes a joyful one“

“Grand Central Petaluma isn't just another café—it's gives heart and soul to our community. Whether you're seeking a quiet moment with expertly crafted coffee while watching the river flow by, or looking for the perfect spot to connect with friends, this place delivers both solitude and connection in equal measure.

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.“

“Best ever sorbet and ice cream around. We so love everything that Mariposa Ice Creamery makes. We are enjoying the strawberry sorbet and the dark chocolate/raspberry swirl ice cream right now. Thanks for keeping your standards so high and for making the best products!“

“We stopped in to grab some lunch and cheese curds. The cheese selection is great! And loved the five options to sample.
The sandwich was huge! And lots of meat and cheese. Really tasty! The girl working could not be less interested in being there. But she did make great sandwiches.“

“I love this classic frozen yogurt shop. They always have great new flavors (as well as the classics) and the best toppings whether you are a candy or fresh fruit fan. The staff is always friendly and helpful.“

“The staff is always so sweet, even when they get incredibly busy. Cold Stone is the only place I can go to fix my craving for a particular kind of ice cream. I love that they have a creative selection of flavors and so many mix-ins to choose from, which separates itself from other places in town.“
