Not sure about the food but coffee drinks are at Folgers level for the price. Skip for coffee.

If I could give zero stars I would. My friends and I were excited to all get cheese sticks from Basque and while we were walking up to the door, one of the workers from the inside practically runs to the door. We all thought she was being sweet and opening the door for us, but that was not the case. She very aggressively pushes the door out of my friends hand and flips the ‘open’ sign over to ‘closed’. She then shuts the door in our faces and walked away. Not to mention there were several people enjoying meals outside and inside. Even though the restaurant was closing, there was a much nicer way to handle this just by simply saying “sorry we are closed”. Other customers also noticed this interaction and they also commented on how rude it was.

What a gem!! I took my mother out for lunch and we came across this boulangerie. I had the avocado/egg/tomato toast($9.00) and it was so fresh and delicious. Mama had the prosciutto & Brie with pear, ($12.00) warmed awww amazing. The price and service are incredible. If you around visiting Sonoma I highly recommend you to enjoy a meal at this place.

I’m local and we often get bread there. Which is all right. But then we ordered something different, to go: ham and cheese quiche that comes with a portion of fruits. First it took forever for then to give us the order, there was no one in front of us, and then what they do? Pack the quiche and the fruits in the same box, when I opened later, it was disgusting. All the juice from the fruits destroyed the rest. Very unpleasant, very unhappy.

My friend Frank brought me some french bread from this place, it was what real yummy sour dough bread should taste like! Not like the generic bread they sell at the grocery store. I am going to see what other yummy bread they have and go pick some up myself. I highly recommend!

My husband and I had been coming to Basque Boulangerie for almost 20 years. It was always a routine stop to get fresh bread on our way to Point Reyes. We haven’t been there since Covid, and unfortunately, management changed in 2020. This last Sunday, we were sold day-old, stale rolls as “freshly baked”, which we did not discover until we were already at Pt Reyes North Beach for lunch. I’m a sourdough bread baker myself, what they sold us was NOT fresh but definitely leftovers from Saturday. We also bought a frittata, but it was bland and rubbery. We will never be going back after getting ripped off with the bread. So disappointed! If you’re looking for fresh bread on your way to Point Reyes, you’re better off buying an artisanal loaf at Petaluma Market instead.

Went in for the first time today and was very disappointed. I ordered the veggie quiche and a blueberry scone. The quiche dough was not cooked all the way through so it was rubbery not flaky, the filling was crumbly, not creamy and was rather bland. The scone was dry and did not taste freshly made. My friend’s latte came out warm, not hot. And my total for just the quiche and scone was $19, which was shocking, but even more so after I tasted the poor quality. When I went to show the server the raw dough, I also pointed out to them there was a fly in their Pastry case. They did not offer anything, no exchange, no apology, not in a rude way, but I think the server did not know what to say. It also does not make any sense why they claim to be “Basque,” as that is not culturally reflected in the menu to my knowledge.

I wanted to like this place, but the food was just underwhelming and bland.
The lemon blueberry scone was very dry and had very little flavor.
My ham quiche had almost no ham in it, mostly onion, and was a bit rubbery and lacking flavor. The crust was tough on the bottom and the crimped edges were hard as a rock.
The steel cut oats were just okay. My group also ordered scrambled eggs and they tasted like hotel, industrial eggs. Most likely poured from a carton.
The atmosphere inside is pretty nice, but very echoey and loud. There are tables inside, as well as outside on the sidewalk.
The two employees inside were not unfriendly, but they did not make us feel welcome when we entered the cafe.
This is counter service only.
Overall a disappointing food experience.

Excellent pastries and coffee. We've also had tasty sandwiches. Less pretentious and lower priced than many places in Sonoma. Loaves of bread are good, and a bargain if you're there late in the day. Staff is courteous and professional, even when the place is jammed. Recommend.
