46 Best Coffee Shops in Santa Rosa

“Pascaline's Straits Kitchen noodle night pop-up was amazing. I ordered the miso marinade salmon, buckwheat soba noodles, soft boiled egg, edamame, gome dressing, and the flavors were absolutely perfect. My husband ordered the Teochew braised duck leg, tofu, soft boiled egg, bok choy, pickled peppers. He said this dish was absolute perfection. Sublime flavors and unparalleled quality of ingredients. If you want to catch their future pop-up's, you can keep an eye on their updates through the Pascaline Instagram Profile or sign up for their emails.“

“Was in the area craving for coffee and saw this place.
Service was fast and very friendly.
I got a cappuccino and wife got an iced latte. Both were really good.
Went back to see if they sell coffee beans. Was asking the barista about one particular variety and he offered me a shot of espresso for the coffee I was interested in. I ended up buying the bag.
Will come back here of in the area.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“I got married in Santa Rosa last night and we had Central Coffee listed on our wedding website as a space informally meet up, grab drinks, and say goodbye. About 40 or so guests from our event came and we were met with quick service, friendly staff, and enough space for everyone to sit comfortably. The coffee and food was delicious! The people were kind! The prices were low! I could not recommend this place enough! A perfect way to end a perfect weekend ♥“

“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.“

“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“

“Good food, great staff, highly recommended. This place is our go to for several instructors at the nearby SRJC fire academy.“

“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!!❤️❤️“

“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“

“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!“

“Top notch local bakery items!“

“I used to work two doors down when this was a different coffee place and I wish I still worked there so I could pop in here daily. I’ve tried a few of their drinks, where all were good, but for me, the cold brew is what does it. I’ve tried close to every cold brew available at coffee shops between Santa Rosa and Cloverdale, and theirs is hands down the best. Smooth, not at all bitter, and strong. I don’t know the ins and outs of what causes a cold brew to be good or bad, I just know what I like. My only hope is that they'll someday move into a bigger spot so it’s easier to sit and do some work or meet people for coffee more easily. Not their fault that it’s a tiny space. The previous coffee place blamed the location a lot on their lack of business, but it’s shown through the new place that the quality brings people in.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 😍“

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

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

“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!!!!“

“#1 a vegan complains about a donut shop ?? Wtf ???..crystals..35 years and going strong..that says it all !!!“

“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.“

“This café is centrally located next to the railroad and is tastefully decorated. The small outdoor tables give it a charming, almost European atmosphere. The owner and her son were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious, and the coffee was outstanding. They also offer a wonderful selection of sweet pastries. We ordered the avocado toast, and it was next level—served on fresh sourdough and topped with perfectly balanced spices and fresh greens. If you’re looking for the best breakfast spot in Santa Rosa, this is it! Updated from previous review on 2026-07-26“

“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. 🙂“

“I love this place. Everything from Vietnamese coffee to caramel cappuccino to chocolate milkshakes as well as grilled cheese sandwiches to ham and cheese crepes to waffles. Decent prices and wide selection, right next to the movie theater and transit mall. They open early and stay open until 6, while being there all week. There's a restroom and it's a good place to work undisturbed for most of the day.“

“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.“

“Great costumer service. Nice people“

“convenient location and mall. Friendly staff.😊“

“great atmosphere great beer great people“

“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 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.“

“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!!“

“Delicious and extraordinary.“

“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!!!!“

“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“

“Starbucks is a reliable spot for quality coffee and a comfortable atmosphere. The drinks are consistently well-made, and the menu offers a good range of options, including specialty coffees and snacks. The staff is friendly and efficient, even during busy times. The café is clean and provides a pleasant space to relax or work, though seating can be limited when it gets crowded. Overall, Starbucks delivers a satisfying coffee shop experience with great service and a cozy environment.“

“Best baristas at any Starbucks I’ve ever encountered 🥰“

“I've not had any issues here. I enjoy the donuts and the staff is always respectful and courteous when i walk in. Even when it's busy. I wish the banks weren't screwing them with debit card fees. If i have cash, i use it. Most days i don't. I just try to tip more.“

“The coffee is delicious. The selection of food is good. The employees are exemplary: friendly, competent, working as a team.“

“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.“

“My family and I LOVE Menchie's!!!! They make THE BEST frozen yogurt ice cream cakes!!!! On top of everything else, the staff are all SO friendly and the options are AMAZING!! Very fairly priced and such a great environment/atmosphere every time. 💖“

“I absolutely loveeee this place so much! All of the employees are so sweet and polite, wait time is usually pretty good, and drinks are ALWAYS the perfect. I’ve gone there super early in the morning and the energy of the staff is always the best. My mood is always good after going here ☺️“
