    Red Tail hawk spotted on the river front
    Jessica M.

    Cutest coffee shop right on the river that is sure to become my regular spot. I got the drink Los Andes and it was very delicious -- all of the ingredients are artisan so the drink was not too sweet and had the perfect balance of flavors. MAJOR bonus for the plethora of outdoor seating right on the river front. The staff is also very friendly and you're supporting an Ecuadorian owned local business.

    Beautiful blankets and clothes from Ecuador

    Cool little family friendly cafe with a lovely outdoor area along the river. Lots of things to keep kids entertained outdoors including a small playhouse and some other toys. They also have some interesting merch inside from Ecuador. Loved the alpaca blankets. I ordered the horchata latte with soy milk ($6). What's cool about this spot is (like Sbux) they don't charge extra for non-dairy milks. Wish all cafes would adopt this practice! The latte was good! Just enough sweetness and hint of cinnamon. Service was friendly and I'd go back.

    Awesome art inside

    How have I never been here!?!? The perfect coffee spot. If you're looking for great coffee with unique flavors, local feel, great views and/or a spot to read or work... this is it! The indoor area is smaller but there are outlets at each table to work. Service is efficient and friendly! Reasonable price for high quality drinks. Had the pistachio cacao and the Aztec. Delish. Definitely now on my go to Petaluma list.

    What a charming coffee shop! When I was first driving up, looking for the place, I did not imagine that such a shop existed in that location. It's not in a strip mall, but next to the train tracks. They have merchandise, unique pastries, and an outdoor sitting area. And not to mention really yummy drinks! I highly recommend to stop by and check it out if you're in the area!

    Grand Central is a cute coffee shop, with parking across the street, some seating options inside, and some good menu options. Ordering at the counter, we ordered our coffee drinks, mine hot and my partner's iced plus some food to go. We thought our drink order came out wrong for my partner, and they were kind enough to fix it. However, my drink (a specialty one so I felt bad asking) came out iced instead of hot. Secondly, the food was subpar. Our empanadas were warmed up to go however, the filling was lacking. My partner and I took one bite of the churro and threw it out. It was chewy and hard to bite into. The pain au chocolat wasn't warmed up, so I bit into pieces of chocolate. Decent enough to start our money.

    Strawberry matcha + Iced americano

    The back patio area with the river view was lovely. Lots of seating and very family friendly. I ordered the strawberry matcha, but it was so watery that I had to ask for a different drink. It also did not taste like strawberry. I feel like just by looking at the photo of the matcha you get the gist of how it tasted (it looks very diluted). The horchata latte was much better and I'm glad I spoke up. It was flavorful but not too sweet. The barista was super sweet and understanding. I'd come back for the views and overall ambiance, and stick with the coffee drinks.

    Aztec Latte and Chicken Empanada

    Great cafe with cozy vibes, good food and coffee, and excellent customer service! The barista who took my order was very sweet and set a welcoming tone. I ordered a hot Aztec and chicken empanada which were both equally really tasty. They also have the cutest mugs and plates if you dine in. They have indoor and outdoor seating but we chose indoor since it was a little cold. I recommend this place for anyone in the area. Thank you for the amazing service and food!

    My amazing view with a bourbon crème latte with Coconut milk.

    I've been here a couple of times and every time I come it seems like they have new or different pastries that are vegan or gluten-free, which is perfect for my new lifestyle. Lol I recently found out I have a slight issue with gluten and I love bread!! Ugh Nevertheless, I love the variety here as well as many of their Latin American based foods! I also love how the store is blanketed in Coco paintings as well as different stages of the trees life!! Every time I've come, the people here/barista are very friendly and helpful since I'm indecisive, especially with so many different options! Lol I really like their specialty drinks they offer and I love their variety of gluten-free and vegan pastries and empanadas!! I also love their giant seating area outside with a beautiful view of the Petaluma river. Lol . I will definitely be back again, so I can try more of their delicious pastries and specialty coffees!!

    The place was nice and aesthetic. From the moment we walked in we got stares from the people in the cafe which was a bit uncomfortable. I liked the way the menu was set up unfortunately my drink was nasty. I ordered the lychee matcha because I've never seen it elsewhere. I had high hopes because it was also promoted as ceremonial grade matcha but it took about 20+ minutes to get our order. The matcha was grainy not very much lychee flavor and not even a hit of sweetness. They did add a lychee in the drink so I guess that's what made it a lychee matcha. Overall it wasn't worth the time or money.

    Amazing coffee and great space outdoors for the kiddos to play. Includes a sand box and lots of cars and bikes. On top of that, great views of the river!

    The only thing I regret about coming here is that now every single time I go to Petaluma I'm going…read moreto go out of my way to come back. 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!
