This little brunch/lunch spot in downtown Petaluma is an absolute must visit! The employees were so…read morenice and we got our food very quickly. Their selection of salads and bowls are great, and the outdoor seating is perfect for a warm sunny day. My friend and I stumbled across this place while out for a walk, and we were not disappointed! I ordered the Brunch bowl, consisting of brown rice, pesto, spinach, sweet potatoes, avocado, and egg. It was absolutely delightful! My friend got the Tahini bowl, which had brown rice, chickpeas, pickled cauliflower, cucumber, sweet potatoes, pickled carrots, spinach, and tahini. She also loved it! Both of them were so flavorful, I can't wait to go back and try another bowl!

Darnit, I wanted to really like this place, but I was underwhelmed at best…read more The shop is cute and I liked the artisanal goodies they sell, plus all the items in the ready cold cases. I ordered a Tahini Chickpea Warm Grain Bowl, Brownie, and iced tea. The brownie was pretty good. Sadly, the tahini sauce on the grain bowl was totally flavorless. So bummed, as I LOOOOVE a good tahini sauce, and order it pretty much whenever I see it when I'm dining out. The rest of the bowl was okay, but honestly, with that watered down tasting sauce it was just sad overall. Probably wont return, as that was the best option on the warm items menu. Also, the cashier was a bit odd when I asked for a napkin, like surprised I was requesting one.

Visiting Petaluma, I stopped at Belfare for lunch. I ordered the Classic Fried Chicken Sandwich…read more For $20, I was expecting one of the best sandwiches I've ever had...l'm sad to say the chicken wasn't as tender (or as large/filling) as I expected it to be. I've had fried chicken sandwiches with a much larger piece of chicken at a bit lower of a price point. I'm not local to Petaluma though, so it's likely I'm just not aware of the local prices/portions. After I tried it, I wished I had ordered one of their seasonal menu items I was considering. (They source from local vendors and change their menu based on what is currently in season, which I really appreciate.) Service was nice and welcoming. You order at the counter then find a seat.

They played great music and the menu has so many options. I ordered a custom turkey and cheese on Dutch crunch. It was AMAZING. The bread was the beast Dutch crunch I have ever had. The turkey and all ingredients were great. It was certainly a top 5 sandwiches I have had. I highly recommend this place and it will be on my list any time I am in this area.

The Local is hands-down one of my favorite spots in Petaluma! Whether I am ordering delivery to my…read moreoffice via Petaluma Food Taxi or visiting their physical location, the food is consistently fresh, healthy, and incredibly delicious. I went in February mainly because they were having a February special and collaboration with Ji's Kimchi. They offered three choices: The Kimchi Rice Bowl The Gina (a fantastic vegetarian option) The Ji Street )It was absolutely amazing)! I truly wish they would make these items a permanent part of the regular menu because they were that good. It's a combination of the good, fresh and premium ingredients they purchase and use and in this instance that also included Ji's Kimchi! Beyond their specials, their standard sandwiches, smoothies, and salads are always top-tier. I highly recommend checking them out if you want a great meal!

We were on our way back from our Saturday trip north when we reached Petaluma and decided to stop…read moreat Lagunitas for a cold beer and some food. It had been a while since we had last come here, so it was fun to be back and enjoy some of our favorite beers. It was a beautiful day, and they had live music. They also had a couple of large-screen TVs set up showing the World Cup game. Our server was very helpful, answering our questions about beer and bringing us a couple of samples before deciding what to order. I asked for my favorite light beer, DayTime, and we decided to share an order of chicken wings, fries, and their P-Town Chop Salad. The beer was as good as I remembered, and the food was well-made and delicious, especially the wings (with Buffalo sauce). They allow dogs, as long as they are well-behaved and on a leash, so our little guy had fun saying hello to a couple of dogs that were sitting nearby in between his breaks from begging for treats from the table. We spent a couple of hours there before heading home.

Mostly a sandwich spot seemingly, but does have deli options with some Italian market specialities…read more I recently popped in for lunch and ordered up two sandwiches - one was the chicken parm and the second was the turkey. Both sandwiches, and almost all of them sounded, decadent. I prefered the chicken parm over the turkey that for me, was too much. The turkey had bacon, sauces, cheese on a potential foccacia style bread.. it was a lot. The chicken parm was plain and simple and tasty. The chicken was medium thickness, breadcrumbed and fried. The roll was great and overall I enjoyed it. About $18 for a sandwich, which seemingly is the going rate these days for a sandwich. Fresh, delicious and a solid option for bougie Italian sandwiches.

We had the Caesar sandwich which was huge and good for me and my mom to share. I also ordered the arancini balls. Both were delicious!

The arancini balls were hot and savory! So good! I wished they have more selection of drinks and pastries but I know that's where Stelina Pronto comes in! They have great selection of sandwiches and salads that J would like for try next time! Definitely recommend visiting this shop!
