Wow!! Hands down the best pastries in Petaluma (and maybe further)…read more The selection of both sweet and savory options is out of this world. SO many croissant, muffins, bread, cake, and other pastries to choose from. You can never leave with just one (hence my order of 5 items) Coffee is also delish and the quality of all the food is top tier. Lovely customer service as well. Nice outdoor seating on a sunny day :)

They have specialty shelf stable chocolate and snacks and a display full of beautiful desserts! ** pistachio cream puff (4.5/5): unlike the more traditional choux shell, this one was laminated like croissant dough-- fun! The cream was also thick enough to not leak everywhere and didn't taste artificial. Really enjoy this one! ** strawberry and cream chiffon cake slice (3.5/5): didn't really feel like a chiffon cake or maybe it was on the drier side. It worked well with the mascarpone frosting though, which was smooth and a little too rich for me by itself. There wasn't too much strawberry besides the sweet jam layer in the middle. ** Brutta mi buoni (4/5): translated to "ugly but delicious," this craggly meringue actually caught my eye and curiosity for its looks. I'm usually not a fan of meringues, but this one was loaded with nuts and was tasty. Kind of tastes like a refined version of those Lucky Charms cereal marshallows in a good way! Happy with my little haul at Stellina Pronto! They were friendly and had a few window seats + outdoor seating. I'll probably stop by next time I'm in the area to try some new items. Definitely check them out if you're nearby!

What a cool place! We were up in Petaluma for an event and needed some caffeine, and Petaluma…read moreCoffee & Tea Company was the perfect stop. It immediately felt like a spot the locals go to. There is a great variety of seating options: high tables, low tables, a cozy couch area, and tables outside. When you first walk in, there is an impressive display of teas and coffee available to buy, which is fun to browse. You order at the register and then wait for your drinks or pastries, all of which looked delicious. I also loved that their coffee roaster is on display, so you know the coffee is fresh. I had a Gibraltar and it was perfectly made. My wife picked up some tea to take home and has been enjoying it ever since. I really wish we had a coffee shop like Petaluma Coffee & Tea Company where we live, because I would absolutely be a regular.

Will start by saying that the bakery items and snack selections here are exceptionally good…read more While the service is efficient, It's still confusing where to stand if you want coffee, if you don't want coffee, and where to stand while you wait. Yes, there are two red ropes indicating where to stand if there's a big line but it's some distance away from the counter and if you want to check out the selection before you get there, you really can't. I got a plain croissant with butter and it cost nearly 7 dollars. For a single croissant. And it wasn't even very large. Read: ridiculously overpriced. Not only that, the server never cracked a smile and honestly appeared that she wanted to be working somewhere else. Bottom line: if you've got plenty of money to throw in at a few yummy bakery items, go for it. The bread loaves here are probably the most reasonably priced.

They make good pastries here and they are very serious about making great coffee. The service is very good and it's a great place to sit and work on your laptop. On my most recent visit, I tried their specialty hot latte which was called the Worker Bee Latte. It had bee pollen and honey, of course, plus a touch of mint. I enjoyed it, although it tasted almost like a healthy drink because of the bee pollen! I typically enjoy their gluten free pumpkin muffin, which is delicious! This location of avid doesn't have as many food options as their Santa Rosa location, but it's all still very good. They have some fun merchandise here, and my wife bought one of their t-shirts the other day.

A rotating artist gallery is on the walls at all times. Live painting events have occurred countless times. The food is amazing. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I've enjoy countless sandwiches and desserts since I first moved here in 2005.

Seriously, you might think pie is pie, but no, there's pie, and then there's pie from Petaluma Pie Company. Friendly employee and clean area outside the shop is well. So that's good. My only complaint is the eco-friendly fork they provide is absolutely awful. Not sure if it's a Petaluma requirement but real plastic forks would be much appreciated. Regardless, this place is a must-try!

I Spy With My Little Pie…read more This farm-to-table, locally-owned pie shop has been serving up both sweet and savory pie creations in Downtown Petaluma since 2010. They recently underwent an ownership change in 2024 from the OGs, but fortunately, instead of selling to a corporation, they sold it to an employee and his mother to help ensure the original ethos and quality remain intact. The Good: * Their pies are made with locally-sourced and organic ingredients bought from the local farmers market--as well as some fruit that they grow themselves! * Outdoor dog-friendly seating * As mentioned above, they have both sweet and savory pies. We only tried the sweet *oink oink* * Friendly service * Love that they have both full sized pies and smaller ones, so you don't have to commit to a big ol' pie. * We tried their Elvis (PB, banana, and chocolate) and their Black & Blue Crumble and they were both fabulous! I leaned a bit more to the B&B, as I absolutely adored that granola crumble on top, but the Elvis was no slouch either. The Meh: * Interior is small and very cramped. Definitely a grab-and-go type operation. The Ugly: * Parking in DT Petaluma can be a hassle, as it's street parking only, but at least it's free. Conclusion: Fantastic spot to scratch that 3.14 itch--and I'm always itchy!

Simple but blunt review:…read more Pros- This coffee shop is cute and has a unique edgy, but cute contemporary vibe. The staff is generally friendly and the service has been mostly great. The drip coffee has not been bad in my experience, and I've enjoyed and tolerated my espresso drinks as well. Cons - The prices. There is not justification for me to visit the Pink Owl daily or even weekly, because of the prices. I live in the vicinity of Pink Owl and have not visited it more than 30 times in two years because of the prices. I know Petaluma wants to pay their employees high wages and be progressive and what not and an undisclosed amount of $$ go to cancer research, and that's great, but who ends up having to fork out more money to fund this? EVEN with the occasional $2 off, $5 off rewards, it is cheaper to go elsewhere. "You've earned a reward" is a message not worth looking forward to, because you still end up having to shill out more money than expected. What's the point of $5 off if I still have to pay an additional $4 for a large cup of hot milk and a dash of espresso in the guise of a latte? Pink Owl is not quality enough for the prices. Petaluma has great quality coffee and Espresso in abundance. It sucks because it's a cute shop that I would enjoy if it wasn't for that slight little hiccup. On that note, I don't know a single Petaluma local that raves about Pink Owl or religiously visits them or even talks about them. I can say they do rave about other coffee shops though. I'll drop by when I win the lottery.

Stopped by again recently as I had just been out running errands. No cars in front of me this time…read moreand two people working, which definitely helped because I only waited 2-3 minutes for the drink. This time, I got a small oat milk latte to see if the coffee:milk ratio would be better, since last time I had a medium and it was quite milk forward. I still think the ratio is a bit more milk forward but I was able to taste the espresso this time and overall, it was great. Unfortunately, I'm personally not a big fan of the specific brand of oat milk they're using, as I find it a bit sweet on the palate. I want to try their whole roasted beans so I'll probably stop by next time to buy a bag, but I'll probably stick to making my coffee at home.
