Double B burger - uber scrumptious!
Kathi S.

Looking for a bomb burger? The best Arnold Palmer? Out of this world pastry? Possibly the best breakfast ever? (We haven't tried it yet, but we will return to try it) Organic, local, family owned, best place to eat? Totally conscious about recycling and reusing! LOOK NO FURTHER! We spotted best burger 11 years in a row, and they did not disappoint! Friendly staff, ordering was easy, and the food came out quick and super hot. The organic lemonade in the fresh tea was the best Arnold Palmer I have had in years! The burgers were delicious, done to perfection. The onion rings were delicious as were the sweet potato fries. I bought the Picasso spicy sauce to take home and we got an apple turnover for the ride home. We will be back, it is too good to pass up!

Mocha

This was my son and my third time trying Picazo Cafe. It's become one of his favorite spots since we moved to Sonoma County. While it's a half hour drive from home, we often enjoy visiting Sonoma and the combination of good options, fresh salsa and relatively reasonable prices has encouraged us to return. Ordering occurs at the counter as you enter, but they're happy to walk you through the menu, if you'd like. We had only been seated for a few minutes before our beverages landed on the table. My son's chai was a great balance between spicy and sweet and my mocha was flavorful without being overly sweet. Their barista checked in with us about the temperature after dropping off our drinks. Both had a nice amount of foam on top! Now, for those looking for a more formal dining experience, that's not this, just to be clear. It feels elevated for a roadside diner with more personality than most of the breakfast places we've found closer to home in Cotati or Rohnert Park, but still quite approachable. We tried the Picazo Flan French Toast on a previous visit and it was good, but the "flan" aspect didn't really come through and I found it rather too sweet for my palate. They know what they're doing with the Huevos and Chilaquiles though! Both come with fresh avocado and salsa. The tortillas stand up to the salsa and don't fall apart. We definitely have more items that we'd like to explore on the menu, plus there are always Mexican pastries in the cases by the order counter. Their burgers also seem to be quite popular.

Picazo Burger
Mia B.

Loved my experience at Picazo! Breakfast at this restaurant made my trip to Sonoma - the food, the vibes, and the people working were so lovely. I got their chilaquiles verde with chorizo that was mouthwatering with their Soy Macha chili oil. My friends got their Picazo burger, brunch burrito, and huevos rancheros, and we all left with full stomachs and smiles on our faces. Their menu is expansive and has something for everybody, with a lot of vegetarian options. Not to mention, the chai latte and iced coffees were full of flavor and creaminess that are things of dreams, along with those mimosas. I will make sure to come back to Sonoma just for this family-run, community staple.

Patio area games

Family of 4 - We stopped here for lunch after a camping trip. Great vibe: indoor and outdoor eating space, big games to play on the patio. The food is pretty good deli / burger / Mexican. it's a good quality food match for the setting, and good food and experience for kids.

I went to Kenwood to pick up my wine membership and happen to drive by Picazo Cafe, my husband said they have the best burger. I quickly made a right to turn around and headed back. This is a nice and cozy cafe. You are greeted with a smile, you order, you get a number and pick your seat. My husband had one of the burgers with medium spice sauce and I had a torta with skirt steak. My husband had an Arnold palmer and I had wine. the wine is a healthy portion and the Arnold palmer was in a big to go cup. We were very satisfied with our drinks. My husband's burger was delicious with onion rings. The medium sauce was very spicy. Thank god he ordered medium. My torta with skirt steak was nice. It looked like they tried to elevate it but the skirt steak was not very flavorful. The fries were delightful. In the back, which I looked through the open door but did not experience, looked very nice. There was a large connect 4 game. I really like the establishment, very friendly and I recommend it.

Had a wonderful lunch @ Picazo. Fish and chips were very good, came with the salad that had a delicious dressing on it. Grabbed some pastries for later, and the coffee shake was killer! And our server was very attentive and helpful.

Steak-Topped Veggie Bowl, ($18) - the sauces are really good.
Tracey A.

Although it took a moment to find the menu, I didn't miss the sign: "voted best burger 8 years in a row". So we'd be getting a burger. And a bowl of vegetables (spinach, carrots, zucchini, potatoes) topped with steak ($18) and accompanied by some zesty sauces. Picazo is the sort of place where you order and pay at the counter then take a seat indoors or out. Servers deliver food to your table and, ostensibly, clear the table when you're through though that seemed to be a task for which there wasn't much appetite. Many unoccupied tables were left with dirty dishes atop them during my visit. The burger was as advertised and easily award-winning for the area. It was big and messy and satisfying. Though it comes with fries an upcharge will get you onion rings instead and that's what I sampled. Quite good, all of it. The steak-topped vegetable bowl was good as well, even if it seemed like something one might cook up in their own kitchen using up leftover vegetables from the crisper. Those tangy sauces accompanying the order did a lot to make this dish quite tasty. Before leaving, an order arrived at the table beside me: a huge açaí bowl with peanut butter. It looked so impossibly big and satisfying that I momentarily wished I was walking in right then as this is what I'd order. Picazo is a very casual, comfortable spot to satisfy your hunger pangs. I like to try different places when I revisit an area but I left here knowing that I'd also have no qualms with returning.

Almond croissant
Lexi R.

The breakfast burrito was sadly tasteless and sad. To top it off, it also barely had any sausage. I kid you not, on one half of the burrito, there was literally one piece of sausage. I was probably at least 6 bites deep before I even hit the first sausage. The croissant sandwich wasn't bad though. The croissant itself is well made. The ham is spread evenly through the sandwich. They give a generous amount of egg. The almond croissant was also pretty good too, though it may need a tad more of the delicious filling. They actually forgot to even give me my croissant but were apologetic when I went back up to ask for it. I'm just glad I remembered it at the end of our meal. They have some outdoor seating with foosball, cornhole, giant connect four, etc. cute little are! Clearly I have very mixed feelings about this place so far lol.

Outdoor seating, huevos rancheros
Gore O.

A small cafe by the side of the road, serving breakfast, fresh coffee and pastries. We had the huevos rancheros and a breakfast egg and cheese sandwich. There's seating inside and outdoors as well as a restroom. There's parking by the side of the road as well but we arrived by walking. Overall the service was great! Food was delicious and steaming hot when it came out. Would eat here again :)

Giselle S.

Ordered breakfast this morning & decided to go with a build your own breakfast sandwich. 10/10 would order again! I got a croissant sandwich with ham, American cheese, onion, avocado & spicy picazo sauce. It was delicious & so filling!

Wasn't a fav of ours. Burger disappointed. The reviews did not match our experience. Maybe brunch is better option?

Ask the Community - Picazo Cafe

Will they make a reservation ? We are part of Sonoma newcomers group and meet once a month for lunch. Usually between 4-8 people and generally have a good headcount a week or two ahead of time.

I think you might be better off having your get togethers at their other establishment, Kina’s Kitchen. It’s larger and takes reservations. Picazo does have an outdoor area that you might be able to reserve though. Either way, you’re in good hands!

Are bottomless mimosas available?

Worth a try! They also own Kina’s, with a full bar!

The place has a beautiful country farmhouse vibe, bright, open dining room, and a separate bar tucked away in the back(right where we walked in), that makes it feel cozy without being noisy. They also have a really nice Happy Hour menu, even on weekends until 5 PM, which was a pleasant surprize. The only downside was the service. The restaurant was almost empty, but our party of three ordered a salad, two appetizers, and a mushroom pizza, then ended up waiting until about 5:30 PM. After reminding our server about the order, everything suddenly started coming out. Food was mostly very good. The beet salad was spot on, and the burrata was fresh and exactly what we were hoping for. The calamari was a little over-fried, though I really liked the seasoning. The mushroom pizza had good flavor, but it was a bit too heavy on the spices, so my four-year-old wouldn't eat it. Overall, it's still a solid 4-star place. Great atmosphere, good Happy Hour, and quality food with just a few things that could be improved. We'll definetly be back next time we're 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 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.

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.

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...

While the broth was flavorful, most of the mussels were tiny. Hubby even got several bites with sand and had to go to the bathroom to rinse it out. We mentioned to our waitress, the manager came over to apologize and our dessert was comped. Which was a good gesture. We did also have nice chats with a family of four sitting next to us. Not sure if we'll return any time soon, if we do will stay away from the mussels.
