33 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“

“There’s nothing to not like here! Great food and drinks, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and Open Mic Night on Tuesdays are always a blast! I highly recommend this place!“

“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. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Absolutely the best coffee! 😍 I love how I can confidently leave without having to taste test my drink first because it hits every single time 🩷 & everyone is so sweet! If you haven’t tried yet you are missing out!“

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

“Such a cute Snoopy-themed cafe! The prices are very reasonable, the portions are generous, and most importantly, the food is really good.
The AC is great, so it’s a perfect place to hang out and cool down during the summer. You can also watch the ice skating right next to the cafe, which makes the whole place feel even more fun and unique.
Great for both kids and adults. We really enjoyed it here!“

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

“Best sandwiches😋 Yummmy😋😋“

“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.“

“The pumpkin cinnamon roll was perfect. Not too sweet and the slight hint of pumpkin flavor gave a unique twist. I also enjoyed my sesame matcha.

A bit slow with the drinks coming out but I didn’t mind the wait.

“BY FAR THE BESSSSST! I’ve gone to other places before and they are good but this place the first thing I was impressed by is how clean and cozy it looks and felt. Then we were welcomed by the nicest smile a sweet lady! she was so kind as she welcomed us. We then sat down on the couches and she even brought us our sandwiches which we took to go! I’m surprised she wasn’t more busy this places definitely needs more attention. 🤍 Can’t wait to come again!!!!“

“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“

“This place is fantastic!! The owner Greg went above and beyond with a birthday delivery breakfast surprise for us. We had breakfast burrito with bacon and added avocado. The ingredients were so fresh and grown locally. Also had some of the best biscuits and sausage gravy ever!! We tried several scones. AMAZING. He told us the farm where the blackberries came from that were in the scones. We got banana nut and blueberry muffins as well. Everything was fresh and yummy!!!We actually went back 2 days later for more!!What a great place highly recommended!!Greg is a top notch class act!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious Sunday Breakfast!“

“Thank you for good service“

“I had a coffee and a scone yesterday and it was fantabulous! I love this place! Try it, support small business and our Sonoma County community.“

“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.“

“It was a little early for lunch, and still cold from the night, Pinhead Pete and I were heading toward a breakfast joint on 4th when the Pin asks me who Joe is...Joe who I said, and he says My Friend Joe Coffee...who's this Joe guy? I looked him right in the eyes and said...See, ..That's exactly why everyone calls you Pinhead!
Well, we whipped it on in there ..it was right between breakfast and lunch, so I got the egg salad sandwich, and it was Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“great atmosphere great beer great people“

“After five hours on the road, this place greets you like a warm hug. Exceptional doormen and front desk folks us settled us in our room, Sarah at the Café made sure we wanted for nothing when it came to fresh, pleasing local fare and drink. This area is within a minutes-long Uber ride or walk to some outstanding restaurants, but if you are searching for a representative array of small plates or entrees, there’s no need to leave the premises. Enjoy!“

“Food is inexpensive, quick, and delicious. The drinks are to die for, the fried food itself is okay and could use some work. The service felt lacking for how we were the only customers there. 4 stars just for the pricing and how satisfying the drink I got was.“

“This is the third year I have been gifted 2 loaves of your cinnamon walnut bread. And this is the third year that it has been absolutely fabulous. Thank you all for making this special treat.“

“This café turned out to be a great find. The ambiance is simple but stylish, and it feels very comfortable even during busy hours. It’s a good spot for both quick visits and longer stays.

The menu has a solid selection, and everything I tried was tasty and well-prepared. The coffee stood out in particular — rich, aromatic, and served at the perfect temperature.

Service was quick and efficient, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The staff seemed attentive without being intrusive.

Overall, it’s a reliable place with good quality food and a pleasant atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out.“

“The best deli in Sonoma County👍👍👍👍👍“

“Gorgeous interior at the Green Center flows into Prelude, with furnishings and lighting that are perfect for a dinner with friends or a romantic evening. Great before a show, but also would be fun as a destination for drinks and a nice meal. University wait staff was well-trained and attentive. Bar tenders - friendly and skilled. Definitely will go back“

“first time experience, loved the avacado and meat lovers croissants.“

“I love the avocado toast here but once again for what seems like the 12th time they f’d up my coffee order. Small Americano splash of water 🤬“

“You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is outstandingly delicious.“
