Cute little spot for coffee! Theres plenty of space to study/use your computer too. I got an avocado toast (pretty underwhelming) and the crème brûlée latte (8/10). The acovado toast could use some more pizzaz... its literally just avocado and seasoning and the creme brulee latte was a bit bland under the torched sweetness on top. This place has much potential but definitely felt overpriced for the items I received. Service was extremely friendly and fast (I came in at 6am). Thank you Crooks! read more

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

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

Crooks Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

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

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

Listen - any time my wife, the coffee connoisseur, says she loves the coffee - BOOM 5 stars. Ha. Honestly this is a cool little spot downtown. She loved the coffee. I loved the coffee and the people working there are great. read more

New to Sonoma Area and found this coffee shop through my social media feed. Hands down best coffee shop I have been to. Just their coffee on tap is to die for. As a frequent coffee drinker this is the best place in Sonoma County. Only bad thing is the lack of parking. Be ready to walk and pay for street parking. It could be bad for people trying to rush in and out for their morning coffee. If your off work and have time its definitely worth the meter parking and small walk. read more

I just tried this new coffee shop for the first time and immediately walking in the girl was so sweet and the coffee was sooo good ! Such a cute vibe read more

Crooks Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

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

Awesome vibes, cool crowd, great coffee. Music was live and hitting all tones. The place was spacious. It was busy on a weekend afternoon.

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

My husband and I had a lovely Wednesday morning here during our honeymoon. I had the crème brûlée latte, which was delicious and actually had a brûlée crust. They also made me a little lox bagel sandwich. My hubby and I read our books and really enjoyed the Poe decor and the little free library. We would totally come back if we lived closer! read more

Fabulous small coffee shop in Downtown Santa Rosa. Keeping with my theme, this coffee shop offers delicious coffee, WiFi, and a comfortable work area. While I usually visit coffee shops during the work week, we stopped here over a weekend and it was perfect. Great ambiance, good location, super friendly service, and most importantly, delicious coffee. Highly recommended. Will visit again. read more

This place sells a very serviceable cold brew. The crew in the morning is very prompt and friendly. I would definitely come back here.

RUDE customer service, probably doesn't like her job. Worst way to start your Saturday morning in beautiful Santa Rosa is here to be treated like an ungrateful customer. Won't ever come again. To the owner: your barista in the blue should learn what customer service means before making drinks. If her attitude stinks -- nothing tastes good. read more

What I ordered: -Iced Breve Latte [4/5] -Iced Crème Brûlée Latte [5/5] _ I visited Crooks Coffee in Santa Rosa because their coffee looked enticing, especially the crème brûlée latte. 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

My absolute favorite coffee shop. I come by everytime I'm in town. Great drinks, tasty food, sweet staff, and a chill, dark literature aesthetic. Highly recommend the Creme Brulee Latte and Brie, Fig Toast. Never disappoints! 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

5 hands down! I have never had a bad coffee here. 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

I'm definitely not a fan of their lattes and espressos, but they do have a good cup of black coffee.

Okay I looked up coffee shops near where we were staying and this one popped up in the top. It is a very cute warm welcoming place. I loved it. The coffee was phenomenal probably one of the best I have had.. And the scone was very tasty too.. Wish I had got 2 coffees there.. this is a must stop for coffee and cute place.. Staff were sweet as well.. 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

We stopped by this place and tried the Chai Latte and Creme Brulle. The service is ok and the ambiance is bit older and rough. The price is bit high for quality. The taste was bit strong for chai and watery. I wouldnt try again nor recommend as there several local ones nearby that capture the taste and value that should be expected. The good thing is its located downtown, so has alot of parking. read more

Came by Crooks to get some breakfast! I ordered the crème brulee latte and a matcha latte. I also got the avocado toast with added smoked salmon. I prefer my matcha a little sweeter but taste was smooth and not too bitter. Avocado toast was bomb. Can't go wrong with breakfast here with many coffee options or non coffee (matcha & chai). read more

This place stays busy but the line seems to move fairly quickly. They have plenty of goodies to paid your coffee with and if you're planning on hanging out there are books, and games to pass up some time. They have a wall of gear as wel if you'd like to support a great coffee shop, anything from beanies, sweaters, shirts & even coffee tumblers. Im still in search for a great coffee shop near me that stays open past 3 pm & although this one doesnt, its still worth visiting! Bring quarters for the street meters, or come on Sundays for free parking! 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

Absolutely love this coffee shop! It is one of my top favorites in Sonoma County. Not to mention the vibe & cool decor they have inside the shop. 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. Definitely recommend this shop, to meet up with friends, get work done, or simply enjoy or cup of joe in the morning. read more

cool shop with a nice selection of Mexican themed specialty drinks. I had the caramel macchiato iced latte 1/2 sweet, but it was still way too sweet. Also had quite a bit of ice in it.. I do wish the shop put their summer drink menu and favorites menu somewhere more visible. They're all the way to the right of the ordering counter obscured by hanging lights. I definitely would have gotten something from those menus. read more
