15 Best Cafes in Santa Rosa

“food was great and service quick ..well worth it“

“What a wonderful experience to be here at Café Frida! We are listening to incredible jazz while viewing beautiful art and having a delicious breakfast. This is a great addition to the arts in Santa Rosa“

“Brew offers up so much delicious food and coffee drinks!“

“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. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Went here for lunch after visiting the Charles Schulz Museum across the street. The cafe is inside next to the Snoopy Ice Skating Rink. Fun to watch people skate while munching on yummy snacks and drinking hot cocoa. Waiting in line took awhile, it was a crowded Saturday afternoon, but once we put our orders in, it was a short wait. Not too much money. Food was filling and tasted just fine. You spend just as much, or more at McDonald’s for less quality. Recommend coming here and stay for the ice skating !“

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

“Best sandwiches😋 Yummmy😋😋“

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

“I loved the pastries from this place and the focaccia was amazing. The building was also very cute. The person at the cashier knew a lot about the cooking process, you can tell these are quality products and they are made with love, attention to detail and experience Updated from previous review on 2026-01-18“

“Its a cute little bakery, I think the opportunity to try student prepared food is awesome and a great experience for both customer and students.
Today I got a cheddar bacon scones and the apple cider donut cupcake. I think this was the fluffiest scones I've ever had, usually scones are hard crumbly and a mess to eat. This was extremely pleasant. Though, while eating it, each bite was a bit different; a couple bites were fine then towards the end it became a bite of either pure salt flavor or pure pepper flavor. While I dont mind either sensation together, individually as mouthfuls was a bit much for breakfast.
I dont usually do donuts, but I liked the idea of a fusion bite. Very moist and bouncy with each bite. I like how much apple I could taste and it wasnt the super sugar fake apple flavor. The sugar coating is a tad messy but was fine, personally I think eating a plain one would have been more up my alley but if you like sugar donuts you'll love this. I feel this item gave all the fun of the donut without the grease feeling and I appreciate that.
Took a Pic of the schedule and cant wait to try more goods! Thank you!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love this little place! My husband and I are regulars. About once a week, we wake up and know that Cafe des Croissant is calling! We send out a message to the whole family who text us their orders and we go and get it for everyone. We love the BLAST sandwich the most. I also love their filled sweet croissants. It’s hard to pick a favorite because so many are good but the chocolate raspberry and cinnamon walnut stand out. My husband and I always take time to chat with the ladies behind the counter. They always greet us with big friendly smiles. I love always seeing a familiar face and happy regular staff members when I’m at a local business. Definitely recommend this place!

They also have a comfy couch and a bunch of tables if you want to relax or work!“

“Everything that I have tried all of this menu has been absolutely delicious. I'm very sad to see this location close. Best of luck to you all“

“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.“
