35 Best Coffee Shops in Santa Rosa

“What a lovely little spot! Kind of tucked away behind the shopping areas, but everything they have looks divine and being a big fan of cannelé, pretty sure this is the best I’ve had in several years. Amazing decaf, too! The cashier was super friendly too. All around excellent spot! Only wish I was closer!“

“Visited the Stony Point location this morning!

Local-owned. Small business. Doesn’t get better than that for me. Bad Ass Coffee is your go-to for when you want something yummy. I ordered an iced monkey mocha with oatmilk (banana and dark chocolate— yum!) and a cheese pesto bagel. I ordered this at the Mark West Springs location on Wednesday and had to come back for it today.

There are plenty of tables (each with plugs underneath) so I was able to take my morning Google Meet and edit some videos while I enjoyed my bagel and coffee. The staff gave us the free wifi password and it’s also placed in various locations for your convenience.

If you walk around this plaza, stop by the water installation. It’s so peaceful and a nice break from the noise of life.

Thanks for having us, I’ll be back soon!

“Yes I 10/10 recommend once you try this coffee spot I have bad news all other coffee places will never compare and you always hold a pedestal for this place for best coffee.“

“I went to Blue Bagel Coffee around 45 minutes prior to closing and ordered a latte for myself with the plan of bringing my girlfriend a coffee around 3 when she would get out of work and Blue Bagel told me to place the order at 3 and it would be the last thing they would make. That kind of service means a lot to me and I appreciated it! Also their coffee is incredible, actually blew me and my girlfriend away, her macchiato had perfect proportions and used great ingredients. Around $6 for 16oz isn't too bad of a price and the coffee will not leave you unfulfilled! Will be back“

“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“

“Colleen’s coffee shop has yummy breakfast foods and pastries, coffee is to die for! Cozy atmosphere and fun people working! Definitely a must visit!!❤️❤️“

“Cuppa is a local family-owned coffee shop and has such a following! Coffee is organic and delicious. I, for one, will never visit a Starbucks again after having Cuppa’s coffee. The BEST!“

“Good food. Friendly service. I really enjoy going here.“

“Parking isn’t free. Just fyi.
We got the breakfast burrito with salsa on the side, a fig bar and coffee. The coffees were good, very good. But we were highly disappointed with the salsa for the burrito. It was basically hot sauce for us; it tasted good, just too spicy. Apparently that’s the only thing they cater as they don’t make it in house. We were handed some tapatio (“it’s less spicy” they said). What if we just aren’t people who eat spicy food? It kinda lost its charm learning they don’t make salsa nor the fig bar in house. I wonder if the burrito was made in house. Needless to say, it was hard to fully enjoy our meal. Burrito alone lacked flavor. The fig bar was okay, I liked that it wasn’t too sweet. Would be back for coffee, but for food, I’d rather go somewhere else.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Ok, great coffee. Great food. My kids love to say the name because they think they're getting away with saying a bad word. But let's talk about the biggest reason I know this place is committed to quality. Three words: coffee ice cubes!!! They freeze coffee into cubes for your iced coffees so it doesn't get watered down!!! True heroes in my book.“

“The entire atmosphere friendly and warm. I like the interaction of customers and staff. My chai tea latte was perfect. I will be back!!!!“

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

“This is one of the best Starbucks I've patronized. The manager has obviously trained her staff in every aspect of customer service. One employee in particular, Angie, is outstanding. There have been several occasions in which I have entered, I am immediately greeted by name and my order is ready to go within a couple of minutes. Angie knows exactly what I'm having. Keep up the great job. 🙂“

“Our families travels across town for miles in heavy traffic for the delicious Asian cuisine at this Safeway. From the famous G and G Taco Salad that we serve at Thanksgiving and Christmas to the Chinese Kung Pao with spicy peppers, soups, barbecued chicken with five spices. This is the best Safeway store north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Delicious, creative, unique and always delicious. Thomas“

“convenient location and mall. Friendly staff.😊“

“First time in this morning. The girls were super sweet and looked professional and clean in their all black clothing (which matched the gothy girls plugs and tats 👍🏻) I asked what the new trendy drink was but there wasnt one so i got the oatmilk thingy😛❤️!
Made for a great morning“

“I always love starbucks for their great drinks and open bar attitudes, in this awesome place you can sit and charge your phone with some Wi-Fi or use the restroom without asking for a key. The staff is always lovely and kind. I will always love a starbucks.“

“Stopped in today to a pick me up and was not sure what I wanted. Dana came to the window with a smile on her face and once I admitted to choice paralysis, she lit up and mentioned she loved green tea... which is my favorite. she suggested her current favorite (Hydrocrome?) and I ordered it. Her excitement was so infectious I knew that I would love it no matter what. Once we made it to the window, Courtney engaged is the usual DB delightfully inclusive small talk. I gushed about my experience with Dana and Courtney lit up, with the same beautiful joy Dana showed. We had a wonderful conversation that included Courtney asking for my name, giving me hers and Dana's and making me feel like one of the crew. It was above and beyond the guest expectation of polite kindness. It was something I did not realize how badly I needed it... more than the beverage. Dutch Bros once again shows that good drinks are not the only aspect to make a great spot. Also, the tea was wonderful and a great choice. Might be my new temporary obsession. Thank you for the caffeine kick, thirst quench... and mental health boost. You are absolutely wonderful!!“

“Top notch local bakery items!“

“Parking: Parking is very hard to find and you will most likely have to walk a block or two from any available parking, unless you're VERY lucky and get parking just outside,

Wheelchair accessibility: This building is wheelchair accessible, however there is no handicap automatic door opener.“

“Great costumer service. Nice people“

“Freshly made hot breakfast sandwiches that don't get much better than is, and quickly prepared vientamese coffees which are the best I've had in Santa Rosa at the very least. Fairly quick and friendly service with no complaints. Wide variety of breakfast/brunch items, just a tad hard to find parking for, especially depending on the day of the week - expect to walk a bit. Very reasonable prices, especially for these days for what you get - you would likely pay close to 2x for even less at most breakfast places nearby. Woukd recommend if looking to grab something on your way out of Santa Rosa or for a little brunch picnic like we usually go here for since the items are fresh, warm and stay that way for a while.“

“great atmosphere great beer great people“

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

“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“

“I came for the first time. Wow, it doesn't disappoint, and Sophia was a gem. Thank you!!!“

“The best pan dulce in all the county and afar. Coffee is Bella rosa. Need I say more. Get there and get out. There’s someone right behind you trying to get somewhere 😍“
