The selection was impressive and a bit overwhelming only because it was difficult to decide on what to try. Everything looked incredible. A helpful employee helped us narrow it down to a savory breakfast pastry and a sweet one with exotic fruits. Both were excellent with fresh ingredients and made for a great way to start the day! The coffee could have been better but that's ok we were there mainly for the baked goods.

Stopped in for breakfast pain au raisin+cappuccino and picked up a couple savory tarts for lunch…read more The pain au raisin was different than I expected: it seemed at once a bit over cooked (over crisp on the outside) and over moist on the inside. It was good but not overwhelming. I didn't care for the coffee - I think they use a lighter roast than I prefer. Lunch tartes seemed a tad under seasoned - it might have been that they simply needed a bit more salt. I think if I were a regular I'd know the menu better and order to suit my preferences. However, I have to downgrade by a star since everything is a just a tad off from my perspective.

Great unique drinks, my daughter especially loved the matcha drink selection…read more The shop is very clean and well decorated. Fun pictures of all the dog visitors. Lots of character. The service was great as well. Very patient with the kids making up their minds. Overall great spot.

I appreciated that this coffee shop had so much personality! The ambiance is welcoming. Service was good. I ordered the salted maple matcha with oat milk (less sweet + extra matcha) and cornbread (last one of the day). I was told another small business supplies this place with its baked goods! I found the cornbread to be a bit dry, but it's possible it had been sitting out for a while. The matcha itself had an overly bitter aftertaste. As someone who considers herself a matcha connoisseur, I found the bitterness went beyond what I personally enjoy. It overpowered the drink rather than enhancing the matcha flavor! If I order it again, I'd probably keep the sweetness level the same while still adding extra matcha powder. I don't have any notes for the cold foam. My boyfriend and I sat outside for about an hour enjoying our time and talking about the new Spiderman movie. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the morning. Overall - 3/5.

It's completely understandable why they are ranked #1 in Sonoma County. The location itself is gorgeous. Housed in a sun-drenched corner spot with soaring, airy nailed ceilings, the interior has the best natural light. If you prefer the outdoors, they also have plenty of comfortable outdoor seating complete with tables and umbrellas to enjoy your drink. Beyond the coffee and the vibe, the community is so welcoming and the customer service is top-notch. Can't wait to come back we need a caffeine fix.

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.

When I walk around town and Petaluma, we decided to get something to eat and chose Della Fattoria…read moreDowntown Café. It was pretty busy, but we didn't have to wait very long. We actually got a nice window seat so we could watch what was going on downtown Petaluma. We each ordered a different sandwich. My husband had the turkey and ham sandwich and I had the chicken salad sandwich. The flavors were so divine that it really made it a very enjoyable sandwich. The wait staff is so friendly. They kept coming around checking on us and making sure that everything was fine. It was pretty busy there so it was nice to know that they were still at being attentive. You really have to sit there for a moment to see all the beautiful things that they have inside their store. It is so well decorated that it feels very homie. Also, from my understanding, they have fresh bread there in the morning and they put them out on a stand unfortunately, we got there too late, but I hear nothing but good things about their sourdough bread. Definitely a cute place to go for a nice lunch and it's right in the middle of town.

I also grabbed me a chocolate chip cookie which is huge and probably the same size as my face. And of course my sweet tooth wouldn't let me walk away from the register without grabbing a brownie. Took my girlfriends here for some pregame breakfast bites before one of our tournaments and they loved everything they got. So many things to choose from, you'll probably leave with a box. But trust me when I say, I don't think you can wrong here. Clearly it's a popular go to spot you gotta come check them out early!

The potatoes on the side were crunchy and soft on the inside! My guava juice is amazing! I also got coffee! Our server was very sweet and helpful! She is also so patient and kind!

They have a lot of great options on the menu, but my cousin recommended getting either a sandwich or breakfast burrito as him and his wife had already come here before and said they were really good. I opted for a sausage breakfast burrito and a guava mimosa. Drinks came quickly which was good to hold us over while we waited on our food. It was pretty busy. Burrito was a good size and came with sour cream and salsa on the side. Not as seasoned as I would have liked inside the burrito so I'm glad there were condiments. Hot sauce and ketchup along with other condiments are on the table already. My other cousin ordered the chilaquiles. Big portion. Lots of meat and he pretty much ate all of it lol the burrito was big so I could only finish half. Burrito wasn't bad but I wish I would've gotten the sandwich instead. It looked really good! Restaurant was a good size, clean, spacious and servers were nice and attentive. I would definitely come back to try other food on the menu.

It's a bit noisy inside due to the small room but tolerable, they also have some tables set up outside which is great for people watching. Sadly the Egg Benedict was sold out by the time we went at about 12pm. We got Croissant egg sandwich and ménage a trois (with buttermilk pancake and sausage), house orange juice and salted caramel latte. Food was delicious, and the perfect portion: the croissant sandwich was light, fresh and had the perfect amount of seasoning. The buttermilk pancake literally melts in your mouth. Orange juice is with pulp and sweet. And the coffee was a warm/hot with the perfect amount of sweetness with no burnt taste. Will definitely try to go earlier for the Egg Benedict and try their other bakery items.

A lot of really nice boutique type shops with fine products and a brand new record store, Paradise Found which is quite fantastic. It is also an oasis with goo-gobs of creative talent and cool people you will find. Ranchers, farmers, construction workers, normal hard-working folk, authors, athletes, chefs, sound engineers,sculptors,craftspeople, photographers, and inventors. A full cast of interesting characters. The home of the world's ugly dog contest (I tend to stay away during this event to avoid becoming a contestant) and wrist wrestling championship. Once famous for being the egg capital of the world. I once heard this conversation in a bar, "Hey Steve remember when we got paid to inseminate chickens when we were on acid?" Steve: "Those were chickens?" Sam Shepard would've had a field day here. Some newer buildings made to look old with crafted Styrofoam façades. You get the feeling you're on a movie set, which it has been on several occasions. I lived here for a number of years, a bit of a Peyton Place aura. Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more. Some of my favorite people I've met in the last 30 years hale from here. And, a disappropriated amount have left this earth too soon. One of the best foodie destinations north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Superb coffee shops and bakeries, some award-winning. So, back in 1999 I took a wrong turn off the freeway and discovered Petaluma and the first place I went was the "Tea Room" and it's still pretty much as awesome as it was then. A real nice vibe, nicely decorated with some incredible pastries to include the orange cranberry scone as I recall, sold out today. My breakfast today was quite good with the walnut toast, and a huge portion of very large potatoes that could've been cut into smaller pieces and maybe I only needed one third of the portion. Dem tatters were 'nuff for four people. Great atmosphere, nice friendly staff, and a very pleasant ambience. There's mirrored signage that says TEA mounted high on the wall across from one another so as to appear as if it were a reflection. I personally can also see the word EAT in there every time I glance at it. I was told years ago that it came from an old Texaco gas station sign. It makes sense, check it out. On Western Avenue. I used to tell folks it's across from the pink Catholic Church rectory. That's been painted to a rather unattractive conservation brown. A lot of nice outdoor seating and cool shops nearby, check out next-door thrift shop and the ever remarkable Petaluma market around the corner, with superb produce display! Famous for cheese, wine, cider, breweries and happy cows! If you're coming from the south cut over through Fairfax to Olema and take the back road up to Petaluma which is a stunning drive!
