This little bakery is an absolute gem. The moment you walk in you're hit with the warm smell of fresh pastries. The space feels cozy and welcoming and the staff are friendly and clearly take pride in their service. Their baked goods and coffee are amazing. Fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. It's the kind of spot you stumble into once and immediately decide you're coming back again. read more

Costeaux - Petaluma - Yummy breakfast burrito and a chai - Bakeries Near Me - Petaluma, California

Asked for one of each cake, but cashier gave me 2 carrot cakes, chocolate and princess cake. I really wanted the coconut cake too on the day I came here and that was available. What a bummer. Other than that mishap, pretty solid pastry hole in the wall shop connected to the historical Hotel Petaluma. Princess cake is my go to cake for my birthdays. This one didn't disappoint. It was more on the subtle side and not too sweet. Dense chocolate cake for the chocolate lovers. I didn't like the carrot cake - not only because I had two slices of it, which didn't add to my mood, but also because it was too nutty and it didn't have enough umph of cinnamon spice and sweetness. The display of pastries, seemed pretty empty for a morning pop by visit here. I came at 930am on a Thursday and the display was a bit sad to look at. There wasn't a lot of choices to choose from compared to the Healdsburg shop. I guess it just mainly exists to serve the hotel guests. All in all, it serves its purpose here, but it lacks the magical wow factor that the Healdsburg of plenty of gourmet selections one has to offer. read more

Stopped into this sweet new location after an event next door at Barber Cellars. Cool that both locations open to the Hotel Petaluma lobby! This is a grab-and-go location offering beverages, pastries, breads, and a few Costeaux classics (at least what I'm used to seeing at the larger Healdsburg location: Nancy's Granola, Costeaux dog biscuits (my dogs love them!), and their special Wolf Coffee blend (made by another fab family in Healdsburg). I ordered an iced latte and loved it. Thanks Sierra for the quick and friendly service, and the delicious beverage! I'll definitely stop in again when I'm in the area. read more

I've been here several times since it opened and I'm glad that they are now open 7 days a week. Granted their weekday hours don't accomodate my schedule but that's what the weekends are for! I've had their breakfast burrito along with a cup of coffee which was great and Sunday I saw that they had a veggie breakfast burrito (that's on my radar for the next time I come in here), plus they have a breakfast sandwich, lots of pastries as well as light sandwiches on a soft baguette, pastries, goodies, princess cakes and more. Sunday my friend and I split an apple and brie sandwich that was on a soft baguette, a cookie and he had a specialty coffee while I had a bottle of water. The sandwich was light & yummy, and for only eating half it was more than enough to fill me up. The cookie was delicious. This location is different from their Healdsburg location as it is a cashless, grab-and-go location, so payment must be paid with debit or credit card (I believe they also take Apple Pay as I saw someone pay that way on this current trip) and there are no places to sit down. However, you are more then welcomed to take the stairs up into the hotel lobby (they are connect to the Hotel Petaluma) and eat & drink you what you purchased in the lob or in the hotel courtyard. You can also pre-order cakes & rolls and other items to pick up for parties, etc. Parking is on the side streets (no parking in the front), the free parking garage on Keller Street or paid parking at the Bank of America building. read more

This bakery is teeny tiny. There's no menu, nothing has labels and there are NO PRICES on anything! There is a hand written brown paper sign with some coffee terms, but no prices, no sizes. So bizarre! It felt like a scam so we left. read more

I'm saying "bonne nourriture" to the savory snacks and sweet treats coming out of Costeaux in Petaluma. Located on the ground floor of the Hotel Petaluma along Washington Street in the heart of downtown Petaluma, Costeux, with their fifth location the Costeaux empire just keeps growing and growing. A well renowned French American Bakery that has been around for over a century, yes that is one hundred years, in the heart of wine country in Healdsburg, although known by a number of different names, it became well-known as Costeaux over fifty years ago. Thanks to this legacy, they have grown from locations in Healdsburg to the Santa Rosa Airport. With this newest location taking over for a tattoo parlor of all things, Costeaux has seamlessly moved in for local fans looking for a quick snack or handcrafted coffee without having to sit down for a solid meal. Dining at their Healdsburg location in the past, I have wanted to visit Costeaux - Petaluma ever since they opened last year. Receiving rave reviews from town locals I knew I had to get here one day, and I managed to make it here while waiting for some of their neighbors to open up to enjoy a quick libation. Thankfully there is nothing better than a rich cup of coffee to warm you up and get your bearings. When a friend and I entered they were not super busy as the line and service was rather smooth despite there being only one barista/ associate in the shop while we were there. They have a beautiful glass case featuring a number of their pre-made savory snacks such as burrito, quiches, croissants, pasta salads and even deviled eggs. Since they were so elongated and they we ordered their Apple and Brie Baguette Sandwich. We also wanted a beverage to enjoy, so I saw on their menu that they use Wolf Coffee, which is produced locally in Geyserville, so I ordered their White Chocolate Mocha, and my friend a bottle of Aqua Panna water. Our barista was nice enough to ask if we wanted our sandwich toasted of which we said yes, and as it was being toasted I noticed they had crinkle cut cookies, so I ordered that for our meal as well. Our total bill was under twenty dollars, which was reasonable for such a hearty and quick brunch. Once we had our impromptu brunch meal in hand we decided to walk through their back door which leads to the lobby of the Hotel Petaluma. We found two comfortable seats and sipped on our beverages, which mine was warm and creamy, and split our Apple and Brie sandwich. It was a crumbly warm savory treat that we so needed to get our day started. We enjoyed our cookie for good measure but it wasn't as soft or chewy as we expected. I am so happy that Costeaux has opened their fifth location in a city that not only needs them but appreciates them like Petaluma. My only wish was that the storefront was larger with a kitchen so that they could be open to serve brunch and lunch to eager customers. Nonetheless, we have a place to buy a picnic basket filled with both savory and sweet treats. I can imagine myself picking up chocolate-filled croissants, cookies, a yogurt and a slice of chocolate cake, which they were offering for a complimentary sample for all of their patrons to enjoy, and head next door to Barber Cellars for a bottle of Rosé and head to the Marin coast for a truly memorable experience. May Costeaux's legacy continue to grow and thrive with this location and additional locations in the future! read more

The breakfast burritos, ham and cheese croissants and quiche are fabulous! The wide selection of sweet or savory pastries are also delicious, I know, I've tried them all. My coffee group has been meeting there for over a year and the staff have always made our coffee drinks to order. The bakery smells like fresh hot bread, right out of the oven. This time of year, they roll out the Christmas decorations and the place looks very festive. The employees are always friendly, willing to help and greet us with a smile. You can't ask for much more! read more

First time going to this cute bakery and it was amazing! Every pastry I tried was fresh and delicious. The manager was the sweetest person and was so welcoming the minute I walked it, she was so helpful picking out pastry she knew we would love. Definitely going back whenever I need a sweet treat! read more

Very cute little bake shop in Petaluma. There isn't a lot of variety here as far as baked goods go, but they have all of the basics when it comes to food and coffee options. This is conveniently located in the hotel and in the downtown area, so this is a great spot to get a cup of coffee and a pastry in the mornings. The service has always been fast and friendly here too. read more

Costeaux in Petaluma is located on the ground floor of Hotel Petaluma and while the bakery doesn't have seating, the hotel lobby provides a welcoming space to enjoy your food, complete with a cozy fireplace that adds to the charm. The breakfast burrito is unlike any other--the tortilla has a light, flaky texture that feels closer to puff pastry, and the eggs are cooked just right. Their princess cake is a personal favorite and a rare find. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their pastries. It's a great bakery that fits perfectly into the fabric of our little town. read more

A great addition to Petaluma. I already have some favorite bakeries, so it's hard to get more than 4 stars. I'm glad Costeaux has opened a Petaluma location, but I think I'll mainly come here for specific things. I used to adore Bright Bear Bakery. Now I mainly go to Stellina Pronto and Della Fattoria, which are both phenomenal. Also Red Bird Bakery in Cotati. As for Costeaux, I tried samples of the mocha florentines and coconut macaroons, which were amazing. I bought the almond croissant, which was pretty good but not remarkable. The other bakeries I mention above are much better. I also bought the lemon tart, which was very good. I'd like to focus on where they excel! Next time, more florentines and other specialty French pastries. read more

absolutely love stopping in here! You can't go wrong with any of the coffees or pastries. The pesto chicken sandwich is incredible and the staff is great! Kayla & Carmela are always so kind and make the best iced lattes!! this place has quickly become our new stomping grounds! read more

(this review is written by my wife) Okay, to keep this somewhat shorter than my usual reviews, if you live here or like us we're just on your way to a local attraction like say Dillion Beach, then stop here at all costs because you are going to be getting amazing food and service here. The owners here exude warmth and pride for their craft and for very good reason as absolutely everything here we tried was just delicious goodness. Of all the yummy things we tried (Parisian, Apple & Brie, banana nut muffin, home-pressed OJ, etc well one thing really stood out and it was the most surprising coming from a French bakery, namely their breakfast burritos. Oh my goodness, this was a burrito unlike any we've had (both the veggie and the chorizo one)...firstly getting it warmed up reveled this wasn't an ordinary tortillas at all but some kind of pastry like sheet that resembled one; the taste and texture though, unreal and instantly made me sad this wasn't a standard everywhere! The eggs were very high quality with a delicious cheese surrounding them and the most welcome surprise was the potatoes inside being French croquettes, which added and elevated this burrito a ton. Lastly the perfect accompaniment was their in-house verde salsa, which is a total must. Overall one of the most memorable burritos I've ever had and it was even more amazing because of the simplicity; absolutely a must try. Thank you everyone so much for your incredible craft and friendliness! You all really started our day's journey off perfectly and without a question your lovely store is a must for our tribe from here on. Cheers! read more

Have visited and purchased specialty baked items many times since opening. Stopped in today for Beehive to bring to a friend recovering from surgery. Purchased one for us too, as well as 6 florentine cookies $57 total. Our beehive was OLD! Dry and sticky clearly not fresh, rather days old. Am hoping our friend's was not the same how embarrassing. Not the first time we've experienced days-old items. Won't be back, expensive and cannot count on the quality and freshness. read more

We stood in line at this location for over 20 minutes, expecting the second employee that had been there when we arrived to return. We thought they'd left to get more milk or something. In the meantime, the very agreeable new employee single-handedly filled pastry orders, heated food, made coffee drinks and ran the register. When we reached the front of the line (all packed into what is best described as a coat closet on the ground floor of the Hotel Petaluma), we learned that the solo employee was all part of the design and that the second person we had seen at the beginning had only been there to "check in". I'm not clear as to why Costeaux would choose to staff its Petaluma location with only one employee on a busy Saturday morning. Maybe it thinks it has a captive audience in the Hotel Petaluma and isn't banking on return customers. Perhaps it wants to make even more money. Or it's possible it just doesn't care. Whatever the reason, we won't be back. In a town with many fantastic pastry options, Costeaux fell short. read more

Great service, great coffee and awesome pastries. In all my years first barista asked if I wanted my Cappuccino more wet or dry. After explanation I wanted it more wet (less foam) and it was very enjoyable. Pastry choices make you want to sample all but alas had the choose. We order a Cheese Danish & I a delicious muffin. We also took home a package of biscotti. Next time in Petaluma this is our go to cafe and btw you can enjoy your drink & pastry in the hotel lobby. read more

Costeaux - Petaluma - Hot cross buns - Bakeries Near Me - Petaluma, California

Have stopped by this location several times in the morning, as I live nearby. I love Costeaux breads and pastries from Healdsburg and even at retail outlets, but at this location, all pastries seemed like they were probably day-old from other Cousteaux locations. Croissants, bear claws, morning buns were dense, stiff, or chewy (when they should have been crispy and delicate), like they had been wrapped and/or sitting for several hours. Cookies and cakes are a better choice here as they are not as "time sensitive" as more delicate pastries, croissants, etc. Ok in a pinch but if you have time, recommend going elsewhere like Stellina Pronto or Sarmentine for fresh-baked croissants or other special pastries. Disappointing. I hope this gets fixed as Hotel Petaluma's guests--and neighbors-- deserve a great pastry cafe. read more

So, I've been to the one in Healdsburg a few times. To be honest, I was never impressed. I've ordered their quiche and found it gummy and Ive ordered a variety of pastries and found them lackluster in not only flavor, but in technique. When the Petaluma location opened, I decided to give them another go. What another CRUSHING disappointment. I ordered a bear claw and my neighbor ordered the cream cheese danish. BOTH were dryer than a bone. And so much so that she literally CHOKED on hers. We walked back down the street to see if we had purchased day-olds and we had not. My bear claw was unbelievably dry to the point of tasting stale, but I will say that the ONE redeeming quality of it was that it had a good amount of filling. Too bad that filling didn't have that rich, delicious bear claw goodness that you'd expect from a $5-$6 pastry, but it didn't. While it had a good amount of filling, it couldn't make up for the lack of taste or the stale consistency. My neighbor's cheese danish was...sad. Not much filling and again, rather bland and again, SO DRY that she choked. Sorry, Costeaux, but no more spent with you. There are many other places in town that have a better variety and much better quality. read more

The rain finally stopped so we could venture downtown Petaluma. Our usual trek is Kentucky Street to browse the shops and say hello to some of our favorite merchants, Costeaux being one of them. Today we decided to stop in for our much needed caffeine fix and perhaps a little treat only to be told by the young man working behind the counter that the coffee machine had already been turned off as well as their oven. He did inform us that cold coffee or pastries. Wait, aren't you open until 2:00? If so why isn't a hot coffee or hot chocolate still available, especially on a cold day and it's only 1:50! This wasn't our first disappointing experience with the lovely Costeaux, we have tried to visit once before to find it closed during hours when they are normally open. I'm sad to write this review because I really love this place. The usual faces that greet us when we go in are super friendly, today this was a new face to us. I don't blame the business for this mishap, I believe it was probably just the employee , or maybe I'm way off and they normally turn their hot machines off earlier than closing time. If this is the case then I apologize, but if the hot machines were turned off to save time at closing so that the employee on schedule that day could cut out early then that should be addressed. I don't mean to sound angry, but remember I didn't get my caffeine fix! read more

Good service and cozy atmosphere. I will come back.. I love the variety that they have.

Great bakery with fine coffee. The wait was not so long. Morning bun good. Nice addition to Petaluma Hotel.

Excellent French bakery that reminded me of ones I frequented in Paris. We enjoyed salami & goat sandwiches on fresh baguettes, tartes aux pommes pastries, and lattes. The shop connects to the Petaluma hotel and we were able to enjoy our meal infront of a fire in their historic hotel lobby. Beautiful. read more

Delicious pastries and sandwiches which you can take to go or eat in the adjoining hotel

Went based on reviews and pics from The Petaluma Foodies group on Fb. They had a great selection of pastries and ready-to-heat/toast sandwiches, as well as some cookies and a quiche and a breakfast burrito. The space is really tight, but super vintage-cute. The woman working there was friendly and great. I wish they had labels on their pastry display, as every customer was pointing and asking what things were. We got a morning bun, a breakfast burrito, and some rugelach cookies. The burrito was very tasty, well-balanced per my husband. The employee offered to warm my morning bun "just a little", which I accepted though I'd never had one earned before. Unfortunately she warmed it to wildly steaming hot--way too hot--which left it tough. And it was offered to me in a paper sleeve sorta smushed by the tongs, thanks to the excessive heat. Easily recitified next time though--barely heat it. The rugelach was incredibly marginal. Dense and tough. Flavor was fine enough, but not great. I know this because I used to make the same cookie for Ethel's Bagels in town, and theirs is fantastic. I'll be back of course, and next time I'll try other things. Their iced cookies are very pretty. And I'm looking forward to the croissants. read more
