While currently closed, Emilou's was and is the best ever. Everything is made in-house or sourced locally with the utmost care and love. It is delicious, memorable, and crave-worthy. Moreover, Emily and Lucas have gone above and beyond to make personal connections and impact the community positively. This wasn't just a cafe; it was a place to belong and be a part of something greater than yourself. While I selfishly hope that Emilou's is only closed at this location and not forever, no matter what, I wish Emily and Lucas nothing but the best. They deserve it. read more

"The best part of waking up . . Is Emilou's coffee in your cup!" Isn't that how it goes? Ha! Today I had the pleasure of fueling up at Emilou's Cafe. I went to grab my coffee order & get my day started. This hidden gem was located next to 'Hi-Tide Laundromat' right behind an oasis of plants. There is a large floor marker that reads 'locally roasted coffee' & I knew I had found the spot. A quaint space with a small ordering lobby & a couple of chairs, window-front. The small cafe offered an assortment of drink options, so I checked out the menu. After a quick study of the menu I went with the 'Whipped CBD Honey Latte' iced. Sounded like a nice way to get me a 'up' a little & down a little. Iykyk. My drink was carefully yet quickly crafted by a friendly gentleman staff member. I forgot to mention wanting to request a milk alternative but was asked just before it was added making it easy to adjust before receiving my drink. My gut thanks you, kind sir. I stepped outside to the plant cloaked patio to enjoy my drink. My drink [Whipped CBD Honey Latte] was tasty & refreshing. Perfect midday pick me up.. Rich coffee complimented with a hint of honey & ice to perfection. My only wish was that it was a little sweeter but otherwise this was 'the perfect cup'! I'll certainly be back to fuel up another day & will turn up the sweetness a notch. Thank for making a gorgeous cup of joe & for hosting my coffee experience! Cheers to a successful 2024! read more

This is the cutest tiny cafe! We found it on Google Maps after our Littorai wine tasting nearby and everything about it was so great. Our drinks (cap for my husband & iced matcha for me) and pastry (gluten free berry muffin) were SO good! We hung out at a little table outside in the mini garden, were visited by a sweet dog, and found the restroom in the laundromat next door. The vibe in Emilou's is the best, we loved meeting Emilou, and everything we ordered was perfect! read more

WoW! The lemon almond cookie with latte is the cats meow. I went back for a second cookie. Emilou's trained at the California School of Herbal studies. Her successful study shows in her selection of teas and herb. Her coffee beans at locally roasted in small batches. It is fresh. I will return, see you there. Metta john read more

This place is very small, cute and quiet. A great place to grab a coffee on your way to work, there is never a long line and the woman that I believe runs this is very friendly. Their espresso is REALLY good. I order their vanilla latte and I can tell you I drink a lot of coffee at local shops in the area and this place is in my top 5!!! They do offer food items, a bit too natural for my taste, however, if they have the berry danish/cheesecake looking pastries, buy them all! Delicious!!!! read more

I LOVE this spot! Everything is homemade and local from the roasted walnuts inside the muffins to the homemade cashew milk. I usually order the Maca Reishi Chai with homemade cashew milk (yum). And the quinoa blueberry muffin. You can taste the love in the food. I don't normally drink coffee but it's the BEST coffee in Sonoma - they use a local boutique coffee roaster and it's BOMB so I let myself indulge. Many vegan and gluten free options. Other faves: Vegan gluten free baked goods Americano Maca spicy Moca Matcha Chai (multiple options) read more

Visit Emilou's cafe! This small cafe has a welcoming vibe. You can choose from a wide variety of coffee, tea, etc beverages and a small but all-tempting choice of baked goods, both savory and sweet. I chose two muffins and ate half of each, once home and can now enjoy the rest today with my coffee. I also bought coffee beans from a local roaster, "Emilou's Cafe Dreamfuel, Organically farmed, Chocolate-Praline-Citrus-Altruism" (Haven't tried it yet) The muffins are so good--I will be back! read more

I had the reishi chai, and it was amazing! Everything else smelled so good - I will have to return to try the pastries. Very pleasant service too. I am so happy to have a nice place close to home for my go-to coffee/tea, read more

This is the best coffee in Sebastopol. They make other drinks too and everyone is very happy with them. Emilou's has all the non-dairy you can imagine. They make great muffins and cookies all right there baked fresh every day. Get yours early because they may sell out. The owners are local who do everything themselves and are very wonderful friendly people. The shaded deck outside is very nice and there are a few seats inside. Ambiance is West County Coffee Shop, not the sterile corporate bathroom decor that's so common. read more

A really sweet gem of a cafe run by a lovely couple. They have scrumptious homemade treats with gluten-free options and a variety of tasty coffee and espresso drinks with a wide choice of alternative milks, always delivered with a smile. Today some friends and I were there enjoying our book club on their tiny, but secluded patio watching as hummingbirds sweetly sipped nectar from the sages around us when we were treated by one of the owners to a Gruyère Thyme gluten-free cookie. It was spectacular! Mind you none of us adhere to a gluten-free diet, nor would we have guessed that it was gluten-free had we not been told. It was so good that my friend went in to purchase another one! If you haven't been in to Emilou's quaint little spot, you are missing out. It's worth checking out! read more

We love Emily and her partner Lucas and are so excited that they've opened a new cafe. We knew them from their old place in Guerneville. Emily blends her own teas and herbs and makes some great tea (and coffee) concoctions. She and Lucas are so warm and welcoming and will make sure your drink is just perfect. They also have some amazing house made baked goods. Go see them in their cozy new space. You'll be glad you did. read more
