The message that sends me is ... Your done! I wasn't! I would've ordered another drink. I would've ordered dessert and the server would've got a bigger tip.

Located in the heart of Sonoma County it offers plenty of food choices from the most picky eaters to the simple "eggs and bacon" entrees. The parking could be a little difficult due to the only available parking being on the street. The restaurant offers plenty of seating at the "bar" as well as front and back rooms. The staff are really friendly and provide great suggestions on local and customer favorites. We had the crab cakes, grits, and eggs with gravy. It was delicious. The crab cakes were seasoned well and the portions were hefty. The eggs were cooked perfectly and complemented the grist very well. Overall, this is a must-stop if you're looking for a delicious breakfast.

Our child is still just a baby but this restaurant is kid friendly but is still a good venue for couples looking for a date night.

The potatoes on the side were crunchy and soft on the inside! My guava juice is amazing! I also got coffee! Our server was very sweet and helpful! She is also so patient and kind!

They have a lot of great options on the menu, but my cousin recommended getting either a sandwich or breakfast burrito as him and his wife had already come here before and said they were really good. I opted for a sausage breakfast burrito and a guava mimosa. Drinks came quickly which was good to hold us over while we waited on our food. It was pretty busy. Burrito was a good size and came with sour cream and salsa on the side. Not as seasoned as I would have liked inside the burrito so I'm glad there were condiments. Hot sauce and ketchup along with other condiments are on the table already. My other cousin ordered the chilaquiles. Big portion. Lots of meat and he pretty much ate all of it lol the burrito was big so I could only finish half. Burrito wasn't bad but I wish I would've gotten the sandwich instead. It looked really good! Restaurant was a good size, clean, spacious and servers were nice and attentive. I would definitely come back to try other food on the menu.

We love having places like Cafe Mimosa right here in Petaluma and will definitely continue coming back. A wonderful local spot that's always worth a visit!

The food was delicious! Sometimes you want a brunch that is freshly cooked to order delivered right to your front door. I love my house, why go to a restaurant when I can eat restaurant food in the comfort of my lovely home? My sole constructive critique? The garlic potatoes didn't have even a hint of garlic. Otherwise, everyone was happy, I am putting this on my list for easy peasy weekend brunch at home. Fin.

I forgot the bartender's name, but whoever made my espresso martini--it was by far the best one I've ever had! My previous favorite was at Novela Bar in San Francisco, but sorry Novela, Easy Rider has won my heart. I literally chugged it because it was that good, and I still can't forget the perfect balance of sweetness and martini flavor. I also loved how they used powdered coffee instead of whole beans. Please go try their drinks! I'll definitely be back to try the food soon. I hope they consider opening up in SF!

We actually got a nice window seat so we could watch what was going on downtown Petaluma. We each ordered a different sandwich. My husband had the turkey and ham sandwich and I had the chicken salad sandwich. The flavors were so divine that it really made it a very enjoyable sandwich. The wait staff is so friendly. They kept coming around checking on us and making sure that everything was fine. It was pretty busy there so it was nice to know that they were still at being attentive. You really have to sit there for a moment to see all the beautiful things that they have inside their store. It is so well decorated that it feels very homie. Also, from my understanding, they have fresh bread there in the morning and they put them out on a stand unfortunately, we got there too late, but I hear nothing but good things about their sourdough bread. Definitely a cute place to go for a nice lunch and it's right in the middle of town.

The river view isn't that great after looking at it for too long with a very still and murky green water, but the cafe and Water St itself is very charming. Breakfast is only served until 11a, and after that is the lunch menu. I greatly enjoyed my crab chowder and bacon and Swiss quiche with a generous side salad. In addition to a coffee with refills and the complimentary bread and butter, I definitely I got bang for my buck at less than $30 given I ate so much. The people who work here are so pleasant, I felt so comfortable and at home here compared to many places in San Francisco. It felt like I was part of the cafe community. I am very curious to try the bacon separately because it was quite good in the quiche, thick cut. The quiche itself is not a solid gravy thing but was so beautifully airy yet so filling. I want to come back to try their other menu options, from breakfast or the lunch sandwiches.

The coffee was outstanding, I believe they use Taylor, I'm a big fan of French roast so It was good. The quiche was very light and fluffy, I prefer mine to be a bit more dense. The fruit was cut in a decorative manner & a nice addition. The restaurant has been in business for many years in Petaluma and the charm and offerings is what brings patrons back.

The seasonal menu's offerings were ideal for a rainy April day, when their cassoulet, bocadillo and other cozy options provided the comfort food we were craving. I loved the colorful tables and tasteful decor. It was clearly a regular lunch destination for many of the diners. The bar was packed during the rush, around noon, as well as the other indoor seats. My lunch friend mentioned that the restaurant is owned and operated by a husband and wife team: Annette and Brian. The regulars were greeted with familiarity. It wasn't the kind of place where you're rushed for your order, nor is it a dine and dash location. The menu - both food and drink - has tantalizing options, so it's best to come back repeatedly. My Turkish Coffee arrived quickly after I ordered it, despite Annette being the only server on the floor. I enjoyed the Bocadillo too, especially the pickled vegetables that accompany the sandwich. For those complaining that the portions were small or that the prices were high, the quality of ingredients and depth of flavor are worth the cost and my portion was more than enough to satisfy my appetite, plus I left with the other half of my sandwich as an offering for my hungry twenty-something at home. We ordered a rice pudding for dessert and dug in before I was able to snap a picture!
