19 Best Coffee Shops in Sonoma

“Yum! Better than Starbucks!“

“Just finished a wonderful coffee date! Absolutely loved my drink and treat. I highly recommend the cardamom and brown sugar latte. Not too sweet but just right. The almond cake with ganache was so good! Great customer service and very friendly. We will definitely be back!“

“Anytime you pass Peet’s Coffee on Broadway, something small seems to shift. One day it’s a red bicycle with sunflowers tied to the frame. Another, a dog waiting outside with excitement, or friends exchanging the greeting by the door.

The place itself stays consistent - clean lines, black beams, coffee that arrives without fuss and does exactly what it should. People move through with purpose. Orders are placed, names are called, the door opens and closes again. People sit, people wait, people scroll through the phones… sometimes chat. The ordinary day.

But it’s the little moments that give it personality.

Maybe you don’t plan to stop. And then, somehow, you do…

*Founded in Berkeley in 1966, Peet’s built its reputation on darker, more robust roasts long before specialty coffee became mainstream in California. That influence still shows - a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to coffee that feels more about habit than spectacle, fitting easily into the everyday rhythm of the neighborhood.

It fits into Sonoma the way good habits do - quietly, and without announcement. Anna-Mari. Double macchiato with milk.“

“Wonderful wine selection & amazing service.“

“Really nice place , good food“

“temporarily moved to the area and missing my big city coffee and baker & cook is my home away from home. delish food, good coffee, but its really the people that make it great <3 get the breakfast burrito or quiche and treat yourself to a morning bun or donut“

“Beautiful property. Very nice suite rooms. Recommend this hotel for a visit in Sonoma.“

“I don’t drink coffee. I went there in order to get out of the house on a hot day. The AC was at a perfect temperature. I had an iced oolong tea, quite refreshing. I love that it comes with no sugar.

But the star of the show was a chocolate bar. The brand is Dandelion, which is in San Francisco. This is the best chocolate I’ve ever had. This is the best price you’ll find; I scoured the internet. If you like bittersweet chocolate, you must try Dandelion before you die.“

“The morning team was wonderful! Even though they were busy, Jacob and Janelly still made time to connect with me by complimenting my new shirt and letting me know there was regular dairy in the whip when I asked for an alternative milk. They even wrote “Have an amazing weekend” on my cup! My overall experience felt warm and welcoming. I will definitely visit again the next time I'm in town.“

“Best gas station I've seen in a very long time..... and I drive a gasoline tanker!! We (AMERICANS) need more of this!! Keep up the great work. Whoever is making the decisions, they're doing it right.“

“They have the best coffee and treats! Highly recommend.“

“I have enjoyed the menu at sweet pea bakery for several years now. When I was going through some medical issues, my daughter from out of town kindly bought me a gift certificate to sweet pea and send it to me via email unfortunately, sweet pea staff was not able to figure out how to use a digital gift certificate And I was unable to use it. I was disappointed that I couldn’t use it, but more disappointed that they did not offer me money back on the gift certificate.“

“I am so grateful for all employees at this pandemic time.“

“Had a birthday cake ( Black Forest cake ) delivered for my wife birthday when on holiday in Sonoma. The cake was absolutely delicious, Marcela and her team could not be more helpful 😊“

“We love coming to Scooteria to get chai and donuts!!“

“This place is fantastic! Very unassuming compared to how delicious it is. Ordered two smoothies - both fresh and delicious! We also split the Napa Turkey with side salad and I want to eat it all the time. Even the side salad which was just greens and a light dressing was phenomenal.“

“Beautiful property. Very nice suite rooms. Recommend this hotel for a visit in Sonoma.“

“Don't expect the Ritz, remember you're talking about a fast food restaurant and as far as they seem to go lately this one is far better than par. I stopped today for a frappe' and I SO APPRECIATED being greeted with a smiling person rather than a screen! The lobby was not only clean, but decorated for Christmas! Put a smile on my face. The best fast food lobby experience is here, keep up the good work!
UPDATE Jan 2026: Still the best McDonalds lobby!“
