I enjoyed the avocado gluten-free toast immensely. So delicious! They had a delightful gluten-free scone as well. It was tasty. Thank you for your impeccable service. Many blessings ✨

Expensive ($10 for a very small salad). No bathroom. Still no menu posted which is really, really frustrating. Most of the time you have to pay for parking. You have to sit outside and it was really cold when we went. The salads weren't labeled so you had to ask them. They missed my son's hot chocolate order and then said it was our fault because he was saying that he wasn't sure while ordering. He clearly ordered hot chocolate but whatever.

They were impatient while my son was ordering. He's little and he's practicing speaking to servers. I was disappointed in how they interacted with him. He wasn't taking that long and it's not like he could decide in advance because, again, no posted menus and most items aren't labelled.

I've eaten here a few times. Once the soft pretzels were way too salty for me to eat. Once I loved a salad but when I came back and ordered it again it wasn't as good.

Glad they're vegan. Wish they had more affordable options, better signage, and better parking. Wish they were more patient. They used to have a bathroom that you could use. The bathroom is still there but they won't let you use it anymore. Not sure why. They told us to go to other places to go to the bathroom.

I like what they are trying to do here with a healthier plant based menu but being rude to customers is not going to work. We stopped going here shortly after it opened. Not surprised the pharmacy closed. People would leave reviews about the rudeness of the owner but nothing ever changed.

You can taste and feel the love in the food and drinks. Special attention was given to the presentation of our order and everything was a work of art. This is the opposite experience of in and out Starbucks - it takes time to put the love in the drinks and food but it is so worth it! This place feels like you’re visiting a coffee shop in a small European village. The owner and the barista are so warm and welcoming. I wish I took pics of the drinks and food but we were hitting the road and I totally forgot. Please support this 100% vegan small local business.

One of the best cortados I've had in a long time! It was with oat milk too which I usually don't like as much but in this case the flavor was perfect.

The strawberry walnut scone was epic as well. Not dry at all and full of flavor.

All of this combined with the super friendly small town coffee shop feel in a great location makes this a strong 5 stars for me.

Unbelievably slow service. Had to leave before coffee was ready as it took more than 10min 🤔

Delicious almost all vegan café (sells honey) located by the railroad in the town center. Seating is outdoors and the food is absolutely delicious.

The menu is relatively small, but the items are all delicious – just beware that the prices for the food items are not listed on the menu and they are not cheap. Be sure to ask how much each item costs before ordering if you are price conscious. I would suggest that the café proactively add prices of the menu items on the menu so that consumers can avoid this step.

The food is well presented, and all of the ingredients are very carefully considered and sourced. The folks at the café do not rush you out so it’s a wonderful spot for a leisurely meal.

The gluten-free avocado toast is absolutely delicious. The gluten-free pastries are available, but please note that they are very sweet. So if you are watching your sugar intake, one pastry split amongst many should be enough or, opt to not get it.
The matcha is also very nice – not bitter and nice and smooth. They are also offer a strawberry matcha with housemade strawberry syrup.

Definitely worth a stop for a meal and/or beverage if you are in town.

Vegetarian options: The menu is nearly all vegan.

Dietary restrictions: The entire café is almost all vegan. They have gluten-free options as well.

Thee Best vegan bagel and cream cheese I have had. It's a struggle to find vegan options but this right here I highly recommend. I had it with a latte. Friendly staff as well. So good.

We came here 2x because of the fantastic service (the owner is so sweet), the delicious cappuccino (they have their own milk blend), and the excellent bagels. Bagel photo attached with the v cream cheese and greens and flowers. Sooooo good. Their baked goods were super tempting also so we settled for some delicious Oregon chocolates to take on the road. Do not miss this place!

The bagel I had at the Branch Line is the best loaded bagel I’ve ever had! A little weird that they don’t have a menu, but I guess that ensures everything is totally fresh for the day. I had to ask for the bagel with toppings that I’d seen on Happy Cow. It did not disappoint! Perfectly toasted, with vegan cream cheese, avocado, “a little spice” (maybe za’atar & black pepper?), crushed black sesame, beautiful green & purple microgreens, and then she asked if I wanted a tahini drizzle! YES! So umami, so delicious. The organic black tea was excellent, too. Great place in Santa Rosa! And right next to the SMART train station.

Vegan coffee location, good for the select few however I would advise careful consideration when ordering.

A bit difficult to order as they have no menu or pricing anywhere. Me and family ordered 3 drinks which after a 15% tip costed around 35-40 dollars.

They are however kind but as a traditional coffee goer they don't suit my pallet and their prices make it a difficult choice.

This is by far my favorite café in Sonoma County. Delicious food, stunning coffee, wonderful & welcoming staff… couldn’t ask for more. The atmosphere is also top notch, highly curated and fascinating.
I recommend the focaccia and a large mocha, especially on a chilly day.

My first strawberry matcha experience and it was wonderful in every aspect! Grateful it was here. The owners are so kind and authentic. & have a genuine passion for green teas intentionally crafting their drinks in accordance. They make the syrups in house! & use ceremonial grade matcha . The touch of coconut crème with oat milk was totally satisfying. Eager to come back and trying a melon & peach one that was discussed and also exploring the hikes shared definitely recommend

My new favorite cafe in Sonoma ! My friend and I were completely enchanted by the decor, the gorgeous items to purchase and the delicious vegan treats. I had the most incredible iced Matcha ! Finest quality, ceremonial grade Japanese matcha. So smooth! My friend had a beautiful chai. So much love is put into the drinks here. A beautiful kind merman and his sweet mom make the food and drinks. All their syrups are house made. They dusted my drink with rose powder and gold flakes!!
