Most people visit Baker and Cook for its bakery: breakfast and lunch. But Nick Demerest, formerly…read moreof Chez Panisse, brings the same culinary excellence he showed at Harvest Moon to Baker and Cook on Friday and Saturday evenings. Easily some of the best food in Sonoma, and clearly the best value anywhere in wine country, Nick's perfectly seasoned and generous entrees outshine local restaurants that charge twice the price. The homemade ravioli and bouillabaise we had last night were beautifully presented and delicious. The wine list is small but provides carefully selected bottles at near retail--half of what other restaurants would charge. And you get the same friendly and attentive service here that we loved at Harvest Moon. From the front, the restaurant looks like a fast food outlet in a strip center, but the back patio is generous and quiet. Not luxurious, but friendly and comfortable--like dining on your own porch. Our new favorite in Sonoma.

Shame on me for driving by this place time and time again. It is a sleeper! The sign is faded, it…read morelooks like there is no parking... well that's my lame excuse. Plus I'm always skeptical of counter ordering... more lameness. I had the best scrambled eggs and de-caf Americano I have ever had in my life! I ordered the biscuits and gravy, which is really very good, not a classic in the genre, but if you are a collector of biscuits-and-gravy, do definitely order it. And that's how you are going to get those scrambled eggs. My bride had the Bagel with Smoked Salmon + Avocado. Among the best bagels I've had, and very generous portions of salmon and avocado beautifully arranged. We share plates and the bagel+salmon+scrambled eggs were over-the-top. Do stop in, they are very friendly at the counter, the patio is calling, and if there are any baguettes left when you leave, leave with one. I already miss it and can't wait to go back. And that's rare...

Cute little bakery on our stop in the little Sonoma Plaza on the way back home…read more A kind grandpa sitting on the patio welcomed us in and said it was good. Got the banana bread, tuna melt, and chia pudding with granola added. Everything was good. The banana bread was good warmed up, a nice sugary hard top layer. The chia pudding was very good, not sugary at all and tastes healthy like i like it with lots of fresh strawberries and the granola i recommend adding for &1.50. The tuna melt was delicious! Reminds me how my mom would make it growing up, i tasted hints of blu cheese very subtle and nice amount of onions. Def recommend checking out when passing thru area. The staff was also very kind. Enough tables inside and outside.

Dirty, busy, bad customer service…read more The front door glass is covered in handprints not cleaned in a long time, glass front walls old, scratched, hard to see out. Dirty dishes pilled high on tables, and busy. Outside tables not sit straight just big mess furniture. Bakery case again glass is dirty, can't see baked goods clearly, Baked goods appear to be tasty, and breads. Ordered panini and eating second half there was a hair in it. I spit it out disgusting! I told cashier and showed her it as it was short black curly hair, not my hair type. She offered a baked goods. I requested a refund as it cost $15. The cashier became defensive said they don't do refunds on half eaten food, inspected the hair said it was not same hair type as person preparing food (suggesting what I purposely placed a hair?!) said the hair was on top.... Finally refunded me. They should have health department inspection!!

While visiting Sonoma, we decided to stop here in the morning and get some pastries and coffee…read more There was a long line in the morning so if you go try to go earlier to avoid the lines. The place was so cute. The ambience was perfect. You could totally tell that this couple who owns this pastry shop is a hard-working couple. The wife is from France. She's so cute. She speaks in French and talks to everyone and herself while she's making the orders. They have so many different things to choose from that are homemade pastries, and homemade baguettes. You can't go wrong with whatever you order at this little shop. Today my fiancé and I ordered a chocolate croissant, spinach and bacon, quiche, ham and cheese, croissant and a fresh baguette, and everything was so good. We had two caramel lattes, and the coffee was to die for. When in Sonoma, we will definitely come back. This place is a place you do not want to pass up while staying in the area.

"She's the sunflower of nature's seeds A girl that some men…read moreonly find in their dreams" (Stevie Wonder) Deep in the heart of the California Wine Country, our wine tour let us off for a lunch break to grab a meal somewhere among the various eateries in Sonoma Plaza. We were attracted to the Sunflower Caffé's distinctive yellow and white awning and sign, so we walked in and it was a terrific choice. Their menu is full of locally sourced farm fresh ingredients. I saw pastries, egg dishes, sandwiches, soups, and salads on the food menu. The beverage menu is excellent with a full coffee-espresso bar, mimosas, wine, beer, cider, smoothies, Kombucha, plus wellness and mushroom shots. We each went for one of their Half Sandwich Combos served with a cup of Cream Tomato Soup & Dressed Greens. I had a Spiced Chickpea & Yam Wrap vegan (sunflower-spiced chickpeas, herb-roasted yam, red onion cucumber, vine-ripened tomato, coconut yogurt tzatziki ($19) and my wife has a Sunflower Grilled Cheese (Vella dry-jack butter, cheddar, fontina, sliced sourdough) also for $19. The plates of food were gorgeous, and my half a sandwich was filling. We both gave the creamy tomato soup high marks. Service from Yaya was cheerful, professional and friendly, and as requested she seated us near a charging plug to bring my phone back to life. We were extremely happy with the Sunrise Caffé. PRO TIP The restrooms are outdoors behind the restaurant. On the way over, I saw they had a gorgeous outdoor seating area with bright yellow chairs and a patio cover. That would have been a nice place to eat had we known about it.

The moment we walked in it smelled delicious! A perfect bakery smell. The inside is cute and small…read morebut there are tables out front and a beautiful back patio area with lots of beautiful greenery with lights and two fountains with flowers floating in them. The service was pretty good, seated fast, pretty attentive with all the tables they had to serve. We ordered a traditional caramel macchiato (it is nothing like a Carmel macchiato that you are thinking of) and a matcha latte. They were pretty but lacking flavor. The Mach was very bitter, but I am sure that's the traditional version in a little bitty shot like glass -not my fave but I was trying to order stuff i wouldn't normally get. ‍ the matcha came in a giant mug, and it wasn't sweet at all and just kinda of plain. For food, we ordered the wagyu steak and eggs. It came with some interesting garlic herby potatoes, a piece of sourdough cut in half, scrambled eggs, 6 slim slices of beef and a little jam of some sort. We also asked for a side of their house made chili crunch. The steak was mediocre, the potatoes tasted a little weird. We enjoyed the bread and eggs the most. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things. I'd come back and try other items. It is a very cute location.

Normally it comes with…read moretomatoes and onions so I'll admit I was being picky, though it's a great sandwich and if you love tomatoes and onions it'd probably be even better for you. The grilled chicken was so tender and the bacon complimented that well. The cheese being melted is what really ties it all together, even when you get that bite of nothing but bagel, it's just a great sandwich all around. "The Dude " (on sesame bagels) sandwich was very different from this though, it's good if you like more greens on a bagel, generous portion of cream cheese and still comes with bacon. Bagels were great on both. Toasted always. The coffee is good as well. For such a small place somewhat hidden in the corner. The outside is my favorite spot but there are cozy wooden tables inside as well. Workers are always extremely kind and helpful never had bad service here.

I absolutely love Model Bakery! This was my second time coming back, and it definitely won me over…read more The staff is absolutely amazing, especially during the morning rush on weekends. Even when things get busy, the experience makes you appreciate the people working there even more. I highly recommend trying their cookies! I tried at least two, including the chocolate and almond cookie, which is one of my favorites, and the Chocolate Rad, which was something new for me and absolutely amazing. The pizzas were also exactly what I was looking for. From the classic options to my personal favorite, the chorizo pizza with jalapeños, everything hit the spot. The combination of flavor and spice was perfect! Oxbow Public Market has some amazing vendors and places to explore, but overall, Model Bakery has won me over. Between the incredible staff, delicious cookies, and flavorful pizzas, this is definitely a place I can see myself coming back to again and again. Highly recommend!

They def knew their menu. Immediately brought water with cucumber and lemon, very refreshing. I ordered the bread with butter to start, it was excellent. That butter just melts on every bite, taking the bread to the next level. Staff recommended the Rachel pastrami. It did not disappoint. It was very simple. However the combination of the thousand Island, sauerkraut, the pastrami and buttered bread just made it so delicious. It was decently meat packed too. The sandwich came with fries which I inhaled the ketchup that they brought me extra. It also came with two types of coleslaw both were delish. They were not overwhelming with dressing. The yellow one was interesting bc I thought it was turmeric but it was slightly sweet. Delish as well. Also ordered their Italian prosecco. I'm into red wine but for some reason perhaps the environment I felt the prosecco would work and it did! It was bubbly refreshing, tasty, and not dry. Their restroom was big and clean. This is in the Jack London Village. They have parking on both ends. The village has other restaurants and wine tasting as well.

We ordered appetizer-4 slices fratolla bread with evoo, garlic, parsley and butter $10. This is actually very with fresh warm bread and great ingredients. Clam chowder $18. This is one of the best clam chowder we had. It is so creamy but the clam was lacking compared to others. Favor was perfect. They were so considerate that they separated the soup into 2 smaller bowls so we each can have our own. The Wagyu steak burger is good and cooked perfectly pink for medium. The Rachel pastrami sandwich was just average due to the quality and portions of the meat. It is not bad but we were expecting it to be better. Value is average for the quality and portion.
