It's like going to what you'd expect to be a restaurant only to find a vending machine... Not sure about the product yet but the whole concept is very strange and unappealing. Unless the chocolates are ridiculously unparalleled, wouldn't be a return destination for me. Chocolate shops are supposed to be "Eye Candy" where you marvel at the aromas of the sweets and ooh and aah at the creative confections, not stare at a fridge kiosk.... They should change their marketing to meet expectations of patrons. Also it's been 10 mins since purchase and no emailed receipt yet, so not sure what I was charged for. Really peculiar...

I had the honor to speak with the owner as he shared about the chocolate that they craft and create so beautifully and naturally. He has a kind soul and was patient and informative. His joy and knowledge made this experience even much more exciting and enjoyable. So inspiring. We had the chance to try out the creative unique delightful chocolate such as the Black Forest cherry, ginger cardamom, honey saffron, and hazelnut elderflower.

Fleur Sauvage has the best chocolates in Sonoma County!…read more The shop is so warm and inviting and is conveniently located right in downtown Windsor. During my last visit, I selected an assorted box of six bonbons, which were all so beautiful and looked like mini pieces of art. They offer a refillable gift box, which is nice to know for the future. I love that they always have different flavors available. The chocolates literally melt in your mouth, they are that good!    I've also tried their desserts, and they are absolutely delicious too! They usually have a couple of different options available. In addition to sweet treats, they have coffee drinks too. They have a great seating area inside with tables and chairs as well as bar seating at the windows. In addition to the indoor area, they have a garden seating area out back.

I CANNOT believe that I haven't reviewed this business already? You know those places that you go…read moreto so religiously that it's not even a choice anymore? This is one of those places for me. I've been coming here since high school which is (ahem...) a really long time ago. I always order the same things: an Irish Cream flavored creamy Italian soda and a backpacker cookie. Today, Vela was behind the counter when I came in. I started giving her my drink order and she finished it for me. Now, mind you, I grew up in Sebastopol, but I don't live in town anymore. I only end up passing through periodically, but apparently this combination is a little unique. I love it though. It tastes like melted ice cream or a perfect cream soda. Highly recommend. (This is also one of the only places I've ever run across creamy Italian sodas, but it's simply an Italian soda + some half and half. They always measure out the syrup and cream, so it's not too sweet. They typically stir it too before handing it to you and generally stay available for a moment to ensure you don't want them to adjust the balance of syrup, ice and sparkling water.) The backpacker cookie has oats, raisins, coconut, chocolate chips and walnuts. Now, I can be funny about both walnuts and raisins in my cookies, but they always get the balance just right! Also, when I came in a few months ago, they were out of backpackers and my son ordered a cinnamon flat. I ended up trying it and fell in love with it too! So, now I order both and share some with my son when I get home. I've met Bronwen, the owner, as well. One time when I dropped in, she noticed that I was ordering Irish Cream and said she'd wondered whether she should keep stocking that flavor. When she heard how much I loved it, she agreed to keep it stocked. I'll admit; that influences me when I'm driving through. Not that I wouldn't ordinarily choose to stop, but now I have an additional gratitude toward them. So glad that the new owners (Bronwen and her husband have apparently been the owners since 2020) have kept this institution here!

It's challenging to pick my favorites--the sandwiches and desserts were amazing. Mom chose the Chocolate Raspberry Mint tea and I had the Decaf Ceylon--unlimited pots of tea! They give you a box of all the tea choices so you sample the fragrance before you order. Note that they are vegan. If you'd like gluten-free, just note it on the reservation. The staff is so sweet and attentive. They actually anticipated our every wish. Lots of activity as the cheery staff buzzed around us patrons. They gave us each a packet of wildflower seeds. There are three choices for your table: indoors, the verandah, and in front of the house in the garden. It's decorated like a fairy tale. And so many teapots, decorative animals, and gifts. Truly a lovely experience.

We had brunch today in celebration of a few birthdays…read more In terms of ambience it's everything you would want from a tea service. Super cute, mismatched floral china, knickknacks everywhere, gorgeous flowers in the garden. We are on the terrace, which was lovely. The only drawback is that it's right on Main Street with a lot of traffic going by. The food was so good. We started with salad of the adults and crudite with homemade ranch with just a twang of spice to start. Then they brought out 3 tiered tea cake stands for each of us - a kids size, a regular, and a gluten free one. Everything was so delicious. A plate of 5 savory treats, each one more sumptuous than the next. A plate with a perfect scone with a tiny raspberry jam container, lemon curd, and clotted cream (my fav). Last tier had dessert, a chocolate cake with raspberry on top, a shortbread with white chocolate, and fruit. The shortbread cookie was the item I liked the least. They bring you a tea case so you can smell every option. We had grandma's garden, mint, and maple . All tasty. I wish we could have tried even more but they did refill each adorable teapot with more hot water. The price is quite high but it was a lovely way to celebrate. Will definitely come back again. Oh and they do takeout of treats so if you are nearby you can just come in for those.

Absolutely outstanding ice cream spot!!! Probably in my top three ever!…read more I'm staying at an AirBnB in Sebastopol and this ice cream spot was recommended as the best ice cream spot in town. Went here after having dinner at Fern Bar on Saturday night and it was packed! My wife and I got sundaes and they were ready in 5-10 minutes. The staff were super friendly and it's a fun ambience in there. Not like a BR or cold stone with the fluorescent lights. It's clear this is a cherished local spot. We loved it so much we went back the very next night and got the same stuff! Both nights we were helped by Audrey and she was super friendly and accommodating of our indecisiveness. My wife and I come to Sebastopol for our anniversary and this ice cream spot will DEFINITELY become a yearly tradition for us!!

In the mood for ice cream? This is the spot. I will go here any hour of the day, rain or shine…read more Screamin' Mimi's is delicious. The ice cream is tastes so fresh, and not overly sweet. There's not a flavor I don't like. I really enjoy that they offer seasonal flavors like lavender. Give it a try if you're visiting the area. You won't be disappointed. I do miss their old way of weighing the ice cream and charging by weight. You had the option to add some more of a specific flavor if you wanted to. I really dislike that they went with what all other ice cream shops do and just go by "size".

The patisserie is cozy with a few tables inside and a few small tables on the patio. As you enter, you immediately see the glass case with beautiful pastries and cakes. So exciting to see all of their gorgeous creations in our little town of Sebastopol. We had reservations for 1:00 and they sat us at one of their small tables by the door. It worked but it wasn't the most comfortable seat in the house as people were walking in and out of the door and the pastry case was right next to us. There was a group of four near the far end and they offered to move us but then we would have been sitting right next to them. They also have another small private room but that was going to be used for a wedding cake meeting. Gergana is the owner and she greeted us warmly. She said she took over the patisserie in 2019. The other employees were very sweet and helpful. They provided us with a tea menu so we could select a tea from their varied tea menu. They returned with little pots of tea for each of us. There were many people dropping by to pick up a pastry and drink and others stopped by to pick up their cake order. The employees were efficient and quick to help everyone. They refilled our tea pots with hot water and checked on us throughout our time there. The desserts on the top level were our favorites. It came with a candle which was very sweet. The sandwiches on the middle level were chicken, egg salad and cream cheese with cucumber. Our favorite was the chicken salad. Overall, it was a fun experience to savor all of their small samplings and Gergana is there to ensure everything runs smoothly so that your time there is relaxing and extra special. She even gave us a hug as we were leaving. I look forward to visiting this local patisserie again for a cup of a tea and a beautiful pastry.

Pros: I've visited several times for the bakery. The scones are my favorite as they are quite large and delicious, and I also tend to buy the Russian tea cakes as well. The macarons are a little harder and chewier than I expected, but they are still amazing. I actually found Patissierie Angelica specifically because I was looking for high tea services and thus have had their West County High Tea service twice. The second time I had the high tea service, I was given a private room! I particularly enjoyed the lemon curd, jam, and clotted cream with the scones. Patisserie Angelica is also located in a quiet and spacious part of Sebastopol; there is a parking lot that usually has space. Cons: The private room became a little stuffy as there was no air flow (other than an open window) nor air conditioning. However, things might have changed from the last time I was there. Overall: The bakery is truly amazing. I absolutely enjoy the desserts sold there and would love to have more of the high tea service in the future. It's perfect for private parties!

But once inside, the array of baked goods and the French inspired decor quickly provided a lovely distraction. There were only two staff members working, which left them spread a little thin.

Looks like they have two other locations in the North Bay, and the founder is originally from France. Big congrats to their success.

The number one reason for this review is due to the staff. I looked at several other reviews and noticed negative comments about the employees- having the same impression I did. The staff never looked us in the eye, had an attitude devoid of a personality and did not seem very happy to be working there. I smiled yet one was not returned. All three of us had croissants- my friends had many crisp layers (although a bit dry). My croissant was not very crispy which I found disappointing. The matcha latte I had was good. I was blown away by some of the prices- a whole quiche offered at $62! The quiche looked tasty, yet I cannot understand the cost. There were several tables inside which was appreciated as it was quite chilly outside. There were some very delectable looking treats in the glass case that if I returned, I will try one of them.
