I really enjoy this coffee shop. Great vibes, cool café nice size. The Customer Service is always great.. the guy at the register was super patient and kind. 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. Well, in addition to muffins, croissant cookies, scones a nice drink, selection, and winter drink specials. 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. Especially if you're hungry. read more

What I liked; they have a good selection of caffeinated and non caffeinated teas. Outlets available near most seating. Cute artwork. 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 read more

Whenever I am downtown I make sure to stop by and get one of my favorite brew and bakery treat. I absolutely love coming to Crooks because it's setting is chill, welcoming and being in the heart of downtown I love to grab a seat next to the big window and people watch. The employees are always so friendly and helpful. The establishment is well organized and so tidy. It feels like your grabbing coffee at your friends house honestly. They have a big selection of coffee and bakery goods to choose from and always try to get any customization just right. read more

Overall the lattes lacked flavor. Tasted like milk water. The food was good but felt very overpriced. $45 for two 12 oz lattes, a burrito, avocado toast and a chocolate croissant. Service was quick. I enjoyed the seating and looking at the photos on the wall. After I showed my wife this review I gave. She disagreed and enjoyed the meal and drink. So I have to provide an updated version. read more

If you're looking for some good, locally roasted coffee in Santa Rosa, cruise over to Crooks Coffee. They happen to be family-owned and independent, which is pretty much the opposite of a chain like Starbucks, and they'll remind you of that with their funny "Starbucks sucks" merch for sale (haha)! We dug the hipster/artsy and vintage-y vibes, and ode to writer/poet Edgar Allen Poe. It's like The Raven come to life in coffee shop fashion! My hubby and I enjoyed some tasty lattes, smooth and bold with just a hint of sweetness (definitely not bitter). The only bummer was that there were really no vegan options food-wise except for an avocado toast. Baked goods/pastries are either made in-house or by a local bakery, which is great, but again, not vegan friendly which was a bit of a bummer. It's worth mentioning that Sundays are free street parking (woohoo!) and it wasn't too busy on the Sunday we dropped in around 8:45-9am. Great coffee for locals and visitors alike, and definitely worth a visit, "Quoth the raven..." ;) read more

We were passing through Santa Rosa and had just filled up on sushi down the street. Now we were on the hunt for some coffee to get us through the rest of our drive, and I chose this spot because it was only a short walk away and looked the most promising on Yelp. My boyfriend is more of the coffee connoisseur and recently made the switch to decaf only. I tend to enjoy anything sugary or unique flavors paired with coffee so I couldn't really tell you what's good and what isn't so much when it comes to coffee shops. All I know is that my boyfriend gives his approval for this spot's decaf latte, and I give my approval for the creme brulee latte. There was no line when we placed our order but a couple of other customers' drinks were still in the queue to be made, so we did have to wait about 10 minutes or so. A lady who ordered after we did ended up swiping another lady's drink since everyone was ordering lattes, which messed up the barista's flow and probably contributed to the longer wait time for us. Our drinks were called out only by their drink names, so remember to double check that it's your name on the cup before taking it! The shop is spacious with a lot of open seating on a weekend afternoon, and everything is curated well to the raven theme. My boyfriend did ask for one of their "Starbucks sucks" stickers but they happened to be out, if you're also on team anti-Starbucks then you'll feel right at home here. read more

I've been coming here for a while and never thought about leaving a review until now. This is a cute, locally owned cafe. I love to support local when I can. I've never had their drip coffee but their crafted espresso drinks are great. They sell Costeaux Bakery (also local) pastries and assorted breakfast sandwiches, toasts, and burritos. All good. Before I wrote this I read some of the other reviews. Interesting that what some people experience as rude I just see as reserved. Some people are more lowkey and reserved. I've never interpreted it as rude. Anyway I love coming here. read more

When I arrived, the café wasn't too busy, and we received our drinks within five minutes. The ambiance of the store is charming, with delightful decor. The crème brûlée latte was perfectly balanced--not too sweet, just right. Their breve was also delicious. I highly recommend this café! read more

Hands down my favorite coffee shop in Santa Rosa! I love going in and seeing all of their seasonal drinks. My favorites being their iced rose lavender latte and their maple pecan latte. I like the strong coffee taste, so I always ask for an extra shot of expresso in my lattes. Just a note- they pull double shots when you ask for an extra shot. They are very consistent, so whenever I go there I know what I'm getting. The staff is also very friendly! I've had their food before also, and it's a good place to stop quickly for a bite when you are hungry. They have pastries, sandwiches, bagels, avocado toast. read more

I came here on a brief visit to Santa Rosa - having never heard of this place before. When I walked in, I felt like I was visiting a Halloween store refurbished by a hipster into a coffee shop (complete with crows and skulls and a satirical picture of the Devil on the wall). When I came up to the counter, I wasn't exactly greeted by a friendly face, but hey maybe that's part of the vibe . I ordered the crème brûlée latte, and it was ready fast. It wasn't really my thing, tasted mostly like just coffee and milk. At least I could casually lounge inside beneath the lifeless images of painted skeletons. Tbh I could probably get a lot of productive work done there though on a different day, plenty of seating and it was quiet. read more

The crème brûlée latte is a good choice when wanting a little more sweetness but my go to is the white mocha and I tell you what, these baristas know how to make a fake good white mocha. I ran in the other day 4 minutes before closing, I felt so bad about it but they were happy to help me with my order. And the inside of the coffee shop makes you feel like there's still a little bit of spooky season in the air. The best coffee shop down town read more

They also sell their own merchandise, which is so neat. Their is also plenty of sitting inside, and wifi available to get work done. Currently they have a Crème Brûlée latte, which is crafted to perfection. It's creamy, sweet & just balanced perfectly. The top of the latte is toasted, which creates a crunchy sugar top. And service here is fast & friendly. Not once have I waited longer than 3 minuets for a drink.

Both the exterior and interior design of this shop is so simple yet modern and definitely calming + eye-catching! Service here is quick and friendly, and the prices are decent for the quality of the drinks + pastry. Banana with zucchini bread - Soft, sweet, and flavorful. Wasn't greasy so that was a major plus. Lavender rose latte - A little bit too sweet for my liking but the combination of both syrups made the latte very fragrant and light. Cookies n cream chai - This was so delicious! Tasted more like chocolate chai over time, though. It wasn't too sweet... just a little hint of sweetness and the chai was the best I've had in a while. read more

I think it would be helpful if the special drinks were easier for customers to see. We both ordered then waited for our drinks. While we waited I thought I would go to the restroom, but unfortunately when I checked it was out of order. Don't get confused and go into the "employees only" door! Once we received our drinks, I was glad to see the color of both our matchas were a nice shade of green. The drinks itself were way too sweet and I could barely taste the matcha. To note, this was better than a Starbucks matcha -- it just wasn't our cup of tea. It was good to try but personally, we are not coming back.

Stopped by for my mission to find good matcha in Santa Rosa! Inside is clean and feels a bit like a…read moretiny industrial cafe. 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.

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

Brew is a colorful cafe right on the corner of B…read moreSt and Healdsburg Ave. It has cute outdoor seating with umbrellas and plenty of chairs and tables inside without feeling cramped. 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!

It's really nice inside, clean and bright, lots of seating and a large assortment of coffee, cocoa and other items to purchase to take home. The line wasn't long but it was still nice to get our order taken care of by one of the employees while we waited. When we got to the counter we added a cookie to our order and the drinks came right out! The counter person was very friendly! Here's the thing....unless I missed it there was no restroom? Maybe it was outside? And although I saw mostly all excellent reviews on Yelp, I thought my coffee (the cold Milky Way) was just ok. I'm not sure what would have made it better, but it just wasn't that great. I did like the fact that it had no ice (which means more coffee in your cup) but was still cold and refreshing.
