Shame on me for driving by this place time and time again. It is a sleeper! The sign is faded, it looks like there is no parking... well that's my lame excuse. Plus I'm always skeptical of counter ordering... more lameness. I had the best scrambled eggs and de-caf Americano I have ever had in my life! I ordered the biscuits and gravy, which is really very good, not a classic in the genre, but if you are a collector of biscuits-and-gravy, do definitely order it. And that's how you are going to get those scrambled eggs. My bride had the Bagel with Smoked Salmon + Avocado. Among the best bagels I've had, and very generous portions of salmon and avocado beautifully arranged. We share plates and the bagel+salmon+scrambled eggs were over-the-top. Do stop in, they are very friendly at the counter, the patio is calling, and if there are any baguettes left when you leave, leave with one. I already miss it and can't wait to go back. And that's rare... read more

Phenomenal lattes, drip coffee and pastries! A local gem as they say. The guys (I assume owners) were super kind and helpful guiding me around town on a few requests too. Lovely backyard patio too. A+ keep up the great work read more

So delightful! The boys who worked there were noticeably extra kind and helpful. I got the biscuits & scramble breakfast with a side of bacon as well as an iced latte. The bacon tasted so fresh & seasoned. Soooo good read more

Got breakfast pastries from here for bachelorette weekend and they were SOOO good! The morning buns are a buttery sugary flaky must try! Their croissants were also an airy dream without being too buttery overload. Their scone was also light and flavorful. Highly recommend! read more

A foodie place in a foodie town. Not sure how you make a coffee shop/breakfast/lunch spot any better than this. If it was on the square everyone in the Bay Area would know about it. Do yourself a favor and stop by. Really good people too!!! read more

Most people visit Baker and Cook for its bakery: breakfast and lunch. But Nick Demerest, formerly of Chez Panisse, brings the same culinary excellence he showed at Harvest Moon to Baker and Cook on Friday and Saturday evenings. Easily some of the best food in Sonoma, and clearly the best value anywhere in wine country, Nick's perfectly seasoned and generous entrees outshine local restaurants that charge twice the price. The homemade ravioli and bouillabaise we had last night were beautifully presented and delicious. The wine list is small but provides carefully selected bottles at near retail--half of what other restaurants would charge. And you get the same friendly and attentive service here that we loved at Harvest Moon. From the front, the restaurant looks like a fast food outlet in a strip center, but the back patio is generous and quiet. Not luxurious, but friendly and comfortable--like dining on your own porch. Our new favorite in Sonoma. read more

The meals were great! Turkey bagel and housemade vanilla latte were definitely shoe stoppers. Donuts and scone were good, though they were a little dryer than we anticipated. That said, we would go back for more. The real star of the show was the orange loaf. It was basically a baby cake and was so moist. This alone is worth going for. Service was great, the men at the counter were super friendly and helpful with recommendations for us. Definitely worth a stop if you're looking for a casual coffee and meal. read more

What an amazing place. Cute outside patio that is set back from road and is filled with potted plants! The homemade salsa for the breakfast burrito is so flavorful and delicious and complements their homemade sausage beautifully. We also shared the brioche donut with a bright and tart raspberry filling and a morning bun. All delicious and you can tell lots of care goes into their food. read more

Cute little spot in town and had to try it out based on the reviews. Super nice inside and cute out back seating and the weather was lovely. Friendly staff and very attentive. Biscuits and gravy had great flavor but not much gravy. When I asked for extra gravy I was charged $6 and didn't get much extra gravy. Breakfast burrito was a good size but they didn't have any salsa which is unheard of for places with breakfast burritos. read more

Baker and Cook.. Your new favorite breakfast spot. This is a charming little bakery, small parking lot but actually quite a lot of patio seating and a few tables inside in the main space. They have breakfast, a small selection of pastry and bread and a modest breakfast/lunch menu. So, if you come here hungry.. Trust me. Get the biscuit breakfast. "two buttermilk biscuits with house-made sausage gravy, three scrambled eggs and arugula $18" Was talking to the gentleman working the counter and he mentioned the head chef specializes in southern cooking. I'm not a connoisseur with this genre of food, but I've had a fair amount of it. Surely the most enjoyable biscuits and sausage gravy I've had. A local RI place and a local FL come close but Baker and Cook takes the cake. This is also a heavy portion. I was filled up after this and I have a healthy appetite. I know the biscuit and sausage gravy is the main attraction here but the eggs and arugula salad were equally tasty. All around great breakfast (my favorite breakfast of my vacation in fact). One day when I visit again I'll be making my way back here. read more

Food was decent, but the guy behind the counter (possibly the manager) could use an attitude adjustment. When I mentioned that the iced coffee wasn't very good, he seemed genuinely offended rather than interested in addressing the issue. He also appeared confused when I suggested a refund. I then asked if I could just get some jam instead, and even that seemed like too much for him to process. For a place where our group spent over $150, I expected a more professional and customer-focused response. The rest of the staff was friendly and helpful, which honestly made me feel bad for them if they have to deal with that attitude on a daily basis. I'm not a local, but I'd imagine there are better options in the area. read more

Stopped into Baker & Cook for a morning treat. All the baked goods looked so enticing and was happy to see they had tea & coffee. I ended up ordered one of their nutella filled donuts after seeing all the rave reviews. WOW! I also got a chai latte and couple of donut holes to nibble on as I waited. Everything tasted so good! So happy I stopped in to enjoy! read more

Was so happy to find this place that you could easily drive right by if you didn't know it was there and so good! Parking is limited but there is a spacious outdoor seating area. Had breakfast there for the first time and was amazed at how tasty everything was and looked. Never have I seen gluten free beignets and they were outstanding and hard not to want more, super tasty and fresh! I took some lemon bars to go and they were also remarkable. The staff are committed to serve timely, hot delicious and well presented plates. The outdoor garden feels private and the decor charming in a farm to fork style of basics without frill. I had the fruit and granola plate and it was generous with fresh flavorful quality fruit and rich tasting hearty granola and will be back for lunch and more! read more

My husband and I ate breakfast here Saturday morning while visiting Sonoma. The employees were very nice and the restaurant, as a whole, had a great vibe to it. Family friendly and pet friendly. I got the smoke salmon bagel, which you do have to assemble yourself (totally fine), but the bagel itself, which I'm not sure if they're house made, was delicious. The whole meal was delicious but the bagel was light and fluffy and just really, really yummy. My husband ordered the breakfast burrito which was HUGE and also veryyyyy delicious!! So their food, from what we ordered was great. I wasn't overly impressed with my iced vanilla coffee though. It tasted a little burnt and more that than vanilla. If we went back and it happened again, I'd let them know. I have the feeling they'd rectify it. But overall, delicious food and a great spot to hang out for breakfast. read more

Service: prompt and delivered both food and drinks quickly. Food: the Nutella brioche donut was to die for! Dense, rich and FILLED with Nutella. You definitely need a coffee or beverage to enjoy alongside the donut. The turkey bagel breakfast sandwich was just okay in my opinion. The bagel was fine, but no flavors really stood out to me for the sandwich itself. Drink: my dirty chai was not that great. I almost wonder if I received the wrong drink. No chai spices were present and tasted more like a standard latte. My friend ordered a vanilla latte though and hers was delicious. read more

Cannot say enough about Jen's amazing baking and Nick's fabulous food dishes. We love to go in for a casual breakfasts - egg dishes with toast are always a hit, but they have fabulously unique breakfast dishes as well with fresh wonderful ingredients and flavor profiles that sing to your tastebuds. Our family's personal favorite baked good is the ham and Gruyère croissant - literally the best we've had, anywhere. If you need a beautiful baguette or sourdough round, or an individual Keylime pie, morning bun, or just a classic plain croissant, this is the place to come! 5-star food all the way! And don't forget to pre-order special items for the holidays! Everything is cooked and baked to perfection read more

Great baguette for an even better price we had the jelly donut the morning bun, and the ham and cheese croissant all were delicious

If you're planning to order to go: Baker and Cook is a cute, cozy café with delicious pastries and great breakfast options. We live just around the corner and have walked over several times--it definitely deserves five stars for the vibe alone. However, I'm giving it three stars because of a recent to go experience with their salmon bagel sandwich. I ordered it to-go and instead of receiving a sandwich, I got a deconstructed version: salmon, bagel, tomatoes, cream cheese, capers, and onions all packed separately in a box. I had to assemble it myself, which, if I'd wanted to build my own bagel, I would have just gone to the store and done that! What was even more confusing is that my wife's croissant sandwich came perfectly assembled and looked beautiful. So why did I have to play chef with mine? I hope this review helps the staff understand that we go to restaurants to get ready-to-eat meals. We tip to receive ready-to-eat meals. It would be nice to at least be notified in advance if a sandwich or dish is deconstructed for a reason. I'd love to return, and if things improve, I'm willing to change my review after another visit. read more

I love Baker & Cook's pastries, and breakfast so I knew I'd love their dinner. (Prix-fix served Friday/Saturday, with the menu posted Wednesday on instagram) Dude and I had a great dinner at Baker & Cook, in Boyes Hot Springs (on Hwy 12). They post the menu on Wednesdays on Instagram w/ instructions on how to make a reservation. It's a prix-fix 3 course for $75. Everything was so delicious, and I left full and happy. A lovely young woman named Erin took excellent care of us, and it was a great way to kick off the weekend. We had: - the trout salad and pork pâté - the ahi tuna and the braised pork shoulder - pavlova and chocolate pavé Added a bottle of Pedroncelli 2022 Rosé, crisp and refreshing. https://www.instagram.com/bakerandcooksonoma?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== read more

When a bakery offers vegan and gluten-free options, I perk up! And when those vegan and gluten-free options are awesome? Then I'm pretty much a loyal fan for life and telling everyone! Baker and Cook is a Sonoma sanctuary for a stand-out breakfast or lunch. My husband & I loved it here and can't wait to visit again! If I lived in Sonoma, I'd probably come here at least a few times a week...shoot, maybe daily! They've got incredible baked goods (as already mentioned), great coffee, brunch-y options, a little specialty grocery/market area, and a spacious outdoor patio area with lots of tables, umbrellas, and plants galore. It's such a beautiful and inviting place, and I'm so glad I finally had a chance to check it out! My husband and I had such a fun time here fueling up for the Sonoma Harvest Music Festival. We got here early and still missed out on their vegan scones, but we got their GF Carrot Oat Streusel Muffin (which is also dairy-free) and 2 almond milk lattes that were all excellent and full of flavor! We saw a bowl of fruit at another table that we just couldn't pass up so we walked back in and ordered that too. This fruit bowl isn't your average fruit bowl...it was full of honeydew, pineapples, grapes, plums, oranges, and figs! How cool is that?! Service was equally as awesome as well, and we will definitely make a point to stop here again the next time we're in Sonoma! Oh and we loved the little Scrabble letters placed on the tables to let customers know which ones have been cleaned/sanitized! :) read more

Hands down the best pastries in town. Breakfast is always yummy too. The gluten free cheesecake is insanely addictive. And donut wholes gluten free too!? Usually gluten free is overly sweet but these are perfect. summertime back patio favorite. read more

Get the jelly donut. Just do it. I decided to split one with a friend and almost immediately regretted it because I wanted the whole thing for myself!! Came here with a bunch of friends during a bachelorette weekend, sat in their outdoor patio. I got a vanilla latte. Something about the simple things in life ya know? :) Service and staff were friendly, for 7 girls coming in and ordering at once, we were served so promptly. But if you do get a morning bun make sure to ask for it warmed! read more

Pastries, Coffee/Tea, fresh Breakfast/Lunch... couldn't ask for more. The space itself is very welcoming, clean, and hip. Their space includes a cute outdoor patio with plenty of seating options on benches and tables. Our drinks and food were made to order. The Chai I had was pleasantly sweet and spicy, I really enjoyed it. Bagels were fresh and homemade - the flavors of the pizza bagel and breakfast sando were delicious and recommend both. Can't wait to return and try more options. read more

Quick pit stop before heading up north and came across this little breakfast nook on yelp! I came with family, upon first look we thought it was a take-out only spot but then we saw a glimpse of the back where you can sit down and dine. We got the almond croissant, french toast, breakfast bagel and espressos. The almond croissant was absolutely delicious, flaky on the outside and has a soft, buttery and lightly sweetened center. The almond filling had just the right amound of almond flavoring, it did not overpower the croissant itself. The french toast was made with their house sourdough! The toast itself was super delicious, however the apples could have been replaced by other fruit like peaches or even without. The french toast is doused in syrup already, so no need to pour it yourself. It is not like traditional french toast, I do not think made with eggs and no powdered sugar - however this was still very delicious! The breakfast bagel was by far my favorite. The creame cheese or spread was slightly sweet, and complimented the saltiness of the bacon. The carmelized onions hit the spot, definitely holding lots of flavor and was spread into each bite. Would order this again! The espressos definitely woke us up, we felt energized almost immediately after drinking the little cups of coffee. Will need to try their other drinks next time! read more

The good food is not worth the bad attitude of the people who work there. They served my friend his food and not me. I sat there waiting and waiting thinking it was coming but it didn't. When I asked about it they said there was a printing error. That was it. What did that mean anyway? No apologies just some excuse about the printer. My friend was already done eating and I asked about my food again. The guy went and checked but came back and said they were working on it. Again no apologies just defending themselves because of a printer error. I asked for a refund since we're at the door already and my food still hadn't come. I got the snottiest response but they did give me a refund. Like it was all my fault. I'm never going back. How arrogant they are. They need lessons in kindness. read more

This bakery is so cool, with a back patio that as really cool vibes. Actually, bakery is a bit of a disservice, since they offer hot food as well as coffee and even some groceries. I may be wrong but I think I saw jams and coffee beans, even cheeses and meats, but please forgive me if I am mistaken places. One thing is for sure: they have nice breads and sweets, plus a cool simple menu to order hot food. This is a more upscale place, with people wearing scarfs and sunglasses, but the prices are good and absolutely worth it. A must visit in the area. read more

There are a lot of great choices for breakfast in Sonoma. We felt VERY lucky to pick Baker and Cook. There are so many yummy choices it was a tough decision. I loved the quiche and house-made salsa. The highlight was the service by Alex. It was a busy Sunday morning and Alex had a huge smile every time he hurried by our table. We felt well taken care of due to his attention to detail. Oh, and the latte was delicious! read more

The morning bun was fun and delicious. We also ordered two latte's and they were disappointing- they tasted like water and not coffee. The service was fast and vibe was nice. I would try the pastries but skip the coffee. read more

Unbelievable- I bought breakfast, pastries, drinks that added up to 65 dollars and left a tip. I came back to ask for some butter and was told that I needed to pay 1 dollar for butter. This is NOT good customer service and I was completely thrown off by the male baristas attitude. Do better- people shouldn't feel like they're being squeezed for every dime when they've already paid a hefty price for breakfast at a cafe ! read more

I've come to Napa to run the rose 5k for three years and every year we always make time to visit Baker and Cook!
