The indoor space greets you with ceilings so soaring you half expect a choir to descend and start harmonizing about espresso beans. The ambiance makes you want to stay well after you've actually finished your drink. My friend, a certified drink connoisseur, insisted I order the peanut butter mocha. I did. It ruined me. This drink walked in, introduced itself, and immediately filed for a permanent spot in my life. I'm not saying I've thought about it every day since -- I'm saying I've thought about it every hour since. Will I be back? Obviously. Am I already plotting my route there? Also obviously. Is this review just a thinly veiled love letter to a beverage? Yes, and I regret nothing.

I really debated leaving this review because I genuinely loved this place. We visited earlier this…read moreweek, and I even posted on Monday that it might have been the best matcha I've ever had! We enjoyed it so much that we went out of our way to return today for one last matcha before flying home tomorrow. Unfortunately, we arrived to find a sign announcing that they had closed early at 3 PM for maintenance, despite their posted business hours of 7 AM-5 PM. We had missed the unexpected closing by just 17 minutes. The door was open so we peeked our head in, but the worker reiterated that they were "closed". I understand that maintenance happens, but it's incredibly frustrating to make a special trip to a business during its advertised operating hours only to discover it's closed. What prompted me to actually write this review was seeing that someone had left a one-star review just three weeks ago describing a similar experience and suggesting that inconsistent hours were an ongoing issue. Apparently, management just doesn't care. Why can't maintenance be completed at 5 PM instead of 3? It's such a shame because the matcha really was exceptional, and I was excited to enjoy it one more time. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and finds a way to communicate unexpected closures more effectively. Customers should be able to rely on a business being open during its posted hours, especially when they're making a special trip. Five stars for the matcha, but unfortunately not for the experience.

I'm a big Holiday Baking Championship fan, and I distinctly remember a Healdsburg baker named Melissa Yanc who won in 2019. I was living in San Francisco when her episode aired, so when we moved to Santa Rosa and my husband mentioned a bakery he frequents in Healdsburg, I hoped it was hers. He couldn't remember the name, but when he pulled it up on his phone's map, it was Quail & Condor! Imagine my delight. I'd wanted to try it for years, and he'd been bringing it home all along. Everything lived up to my expectations. He brought home a chocolate croissant, a cookie, a kouign-amann, and an oatmeal cream pie, and every single thing was delicious. I can't wait to visit in person, but for now, my husband is on pastry duty at least once a week. What a life!

It's light to medium the tasting notes say nectarine, honey, and milk chocolate. It was really good. For the delight my husband and I picked the savory pie. Luckily they had corner prices so we could taste the crust, which was buttery, flaky, and delicious. There are pretty cool breakfast options too. Needless to say this is a for sure return for us. The crowd coming and out is validation of a cool spot. It would not be right for me to miss an opportunity to shoutout their team. The man that helped us did everything to make our experience great.

Indoor and outdoor seating, we fell in line to get some coffee and breakfast to soak up the leftover wine and other alcohol in our systems. I got a plain black coffee, the egg and cheese bagel with "sausage," and my friend got a biscuit sandwich. It was a busy kitchen, and a busy interior. The layout seemed like I could walk right into the kitchen, so wasn't sure which part was for employees or which was for customers. LOL Just wow. I got the bagel sandwich with a jalapeno bagel. Let me tell you, this bagel sandwich and the biscuit sandwich were massive. Massive. It lasted me 2 meals. What's even more impressive is if you didn't tell me the sausage was not meat... I wouldn't have known... it was so flavorful, and just enough grease to give me a little life after my hangover. Will definitely be back..

This time they had plenty of sandwiches, and I settled for the turkey pesto. Having read so many rave reviews, I was unfortunately underwhelmed, the bread was good (soft, moist, good flavor), but I didn't think the sandwich itself was anything that special. There are many other turkey sandwiches I have enjoyed more, no need for a special trip. But do buy some bread while you are there, or grab some when you're at Quail and Condor. I liked the Yecora Rojo Sourdough (moist, good flavor). They can even slice it for you with their machine, although I wish I hadn't because the slices were very thick and a bit uneven.

Unfortunately, it looks like I'll have to drive to Carmel if I want Dutch Door donuts again. I walked past this place five times during my morning walk and kept eyeing it. At first, I saw the $5 price for a donut and thought, "That's ridiculous--no way." But eventually I decided not to be too judgmental and gave it a try. The staff was delightful and let me know the donuts are made to order, so it might take a few minutes. When I finally got mine, my first thought was, "They're not charging enough!" It was hands-down the best donut I've ever had. Warm, perfectly flaky, it practically melted in my mouth, and it wasn't overly greasy. Just absolutely delicious.

I thought would love the chocolate, but still very, very good. The ambience nice, what's cool is that you can really see everything. When they're making the donuts, sort of behind the scenes, through glass windows, service is good, it's fast, you can't beat it.
