There's also some nice outdoor seating off to the side with more greenery and shade. Ordered one of their spring drinks: Violet Shade, a matcha latte with lavender and mint. I got mine with almond milk and to be half sweetened. It's a bit pricey coming out to $8ish for a hot 12oz drink but I do Ike treating myself once a week for a good cafe stop. I could have settled for a regular matcha too! Love that they give mugs for any "for here" drinks too. Drink was cozy and very good! Lavender was there but didn't overpower the matcha. Good microfoam in the drink and no clumps at the bottom of my mug when the drink was gone! All good signs of a well made matcha drink. Hope to be back soon to try their espresso drinks with their own roasts!

I am definitely a coffee snob and I love being able to taste the subtle flavors in the different roasts. Possibly the best cup of coffee in Santa Rosa! The ambiance of this place is modern with a sleek, garage aesthetic. This is where they roast their beans, so even as I write this review I'm getting to watch them roast lots of coffee beans. It's a fun part of the experience of coming here. The service here is friendly and they make good breakfast sandwiches and Avocado toast! Definitely worth visiting if you love good coffee.

The menu is great, lots of food options from bagels, toast English muffins, avocado toast, Brie & fig toast, peanut butter, toast, and grilled cheese sandwich sandwiches.

I ordered the blueberry scone (so delicious, def a new FAV) and it's from Costex bakery in Healdsburg. I ordered a cappuccino, I received a latte. Little disappointing, but I didn't complain, it was definitely a good latte. I was looking forward to a nice foamy cappuccino. No biggie. I definitely recommend anyone to check them out.

Dog friendly (maybe too friendly I don't want a dog being allowed to sit on someone's lap at a table inside?) Location is great and plenty of parking (paid) on a Thursday around noon. Disliked: WiFi wasn't working and the baristas explanation was "it gets messed up with the apartments upstairs, let me ask my manager" I didn't get a follow up or response later and I was there for a few more hours, they totally ignored the issue. Was never able to use the wifi. Bathroom key was being used constantly making an arbitrarily long wait for bathroom use. Tea costs almost 5$ and it wasn't loose leaf or anything fancy so questionable on whether I'll order that again They close at 3 pm. :( I like my coffee shops open late. They are busy enough that I'm sure if they stayed opened later people would be here ! Overall mid

It's a perfect neighborhood-coffee-shop energy--welcoming, unpretentious, and quietly cool. The space is clean with a mix of locals popping in for their daily ritual and people lingering with laptops or catching up with friends...or dates? The coffee is consistently excellent--smooth, well-balanced, and clearly made by people who care about what they're doing. Whether you're grabbing a quick drip or settling in with a latte, it's the kind of place where quality never feels fussy. Their pastries and small bites are a solid bonus (avo toast selection, yes, thank you). What really makes Central stand out, though, is the vibe. The staff is genuinely friendly, not performative, and the whole place feels like a calm exhale in the middle of the day. It's ideal for a solo reset, a casual meeting, or a low-key hang. If you're looking for a go-to coffee spot in Santa Rosa that feels both reliable and special, this is my new fav.

Love the space of the cafe and its location is great for the decent ample parking. Outdoor seating in front of the entrance is very much a backyard patio vibe and it's nice and spacious inside. Service was fine too and it seems all the cafe baristas work well and fast even when there's a rush. Noise level is good so anyone looking for a study spot or a place to catch up with a friend will appreciate that! My only gripe is that I think their matcha latte isn't that great. Not sure what they use and how they prepare it but by the end of my drink, I could see clumps meaning maybe they didn't sift the powder and whisk it enough to avoid that grittiness. I can't attest to their espresso drinks but maybe I'll give them another shot if I feel like a seasonal drink!

There are also a few seats on the patio outside. Great selection of pastries displayed in large glass cases as well as cakes and other pastries near the register. We ordered a mango cake for a birthday celebration. It was truly gorgeous and the cake was very fresh, not too sweet. The mangos tended to be on the harder side but perhaps that is necessary so they don't get mushy in a cake? Located on the corner in the former Panera location. Plenty of parking in the huge lot.

It shows you what is available in your area, and, of course, I noticed Paris Baguette was the first thing to pop up when you put in 'bakery,' or at least it does in my area. Literally everything that I have ever ordered here, is absolutely divine. My all-time favorite is the chocolate supreme croissant, which has half of it dipped in chocolate, with the little chocolate crunchy balls on it and inside, filled with chocolate cream. I made sure I got a good picture for you. You can see it is absolutely delicious, and I'd rather not share those at all lol. Don't forget to order the coffee danish. It's crispy and sweet and fluffy inside, and don't forget to dip it in your coffee, and it is perfection. better than a biscotti in my opinion. Ambience, I couldn't tell you other than I've seen it on the website, and it looks fine, but now that I know that I can get it through Grubhub. I'll only go there if I happen to be nearby, otherwise GrubHub it will be. All I can say is, if you like croissants, this is your spot, and if you have Amazon, they don't charge you any fees because they put it on your card. Just pay cash right after, to save yourself the trouble of adding money to your credit card balance just for some pastries. Cheers, my friends SYOY March 8, 2026

It's in a somewhat odd location; find a parking spot on the street and walk over. I don't believe they have their own parking area. The pastries here were off the chain. It's really very homey, cute, and kinda rustic-chic. They have lots to offer: pastries, cookies, cakes, little refrigerators with go snacks and drinks. The service here was great, always friendly and helpful. I've ordered a mocha, which was yummy, but loved the crebblechino even better with my matching pastry, the crebble part croissant and cinnamon roll, my favorite, it's an adorable place to get a delicious snack and a great coffee too. cheers, my friends SYOY 11/22/25

It's got bar seating too! There's also some board games if you want something to play with friends over drinks. Ordered a 12oz matcha latte with almond milk ($7) and opted to have it unsweetened. Overall smooth but not too strong, and a tiny bit sweet probably from whatever almond milk they use! I like mine a bit stronger and it's not the best I've had but decent! "For here" mugs are always a plus in my book too. Brew is unique that it doubles as a cozy bar too once the late afternoon rolls around. They've got interesting events happening throughout the month posted on their sign. Some of their food and pastries are sourced from local Red Bird Bakery and Village Bakery too if you're hungry! Parking might suck, you could find street parking maybe on 8th St or if you're early you could park by the meters for free before 9AM. There's a $1/hr parking garage right nearby but if there's nothing, best to park at SR Plaza for free and make the 5min walk over. I really like the vibes of Brew and wanna come back for a happy hour one day! It's nice to see a very queer friendly cafe/bar rolled into one!

It provides the perfect atmosphere for studying and not having a feeling of being rushed. This past weekend, my husband suggested we check out a cafe we haven't been to for breakfast. I mentioned Brew even though I have been there. He took a look at their social and menu and thought it looked pretty good! We very much enjoyed slowing down for a moment while enjoying our breakfast burrios and mochas. I love having my coffee in an actual mug when I'm staying at a cafe for a bit. It's just a nice cozy touch. The breakfast burritos were good but they could be mixed a little better. It was very sectioned by egg, cheese, potato and bacon. Like each bite only had one. Layering might help this but the flavor was still amazing! Brew is known for being welcoming to everyone and that has never changed. We love the environment and the service they provide!

They burned something while it was being made and the entire room smelled horrible. When we finally got our food we raced out of there to eat somewhere else. When we got to our destination we found out that it was our food that was burnt. Not only did it look burnt but it tasted burnt with burnt pieces stuck to the sandwich from whatever appliance they used to cook it. There was rotten avocado put on the burrito and the other sandwich was so covered in burnt smoke that that's all we could taste. Everything was practically inedible. I left there honestly concerned about food poisoning. The whole place looks like it hasn't been cleaned and the one guy working there kept touching his face with his gloves and going to the back to cough. I tried calling over 10 times to try and communicate this but no one answers the phone and there is no place to leave a voicemail.
