Red Bird helped make Christmas 2025 bright. I placed a pre-order for cinnamon rolls, holiday cookies, dinner rolls, and a yule log. Pickup was easy. Everything tasted great and looked wonderful. I mean, check out that adorably decorated Buche de Noel! This business continued to be a family go-to for excellent pastries as well as celebratory cakes and desserts. read more

Red Bird is our neighborhood bakery. We frequent this popular spot at least once a week. One thing to know about me is I am supposed to stay away from gluten whenever possible, so I try to find places with good gluten free pastries. Red Bird happens to have an excellent gluten free muffin, as well as a to-die-for gluten free brownie. This morning, I had the cranberry orange GF muffin and it was so good. The flavors felt very holiday and the muffin was the perfect texture. My wife loves their breakfast sandwiches, but she is not a huge fan of their English muffins so she gets them on sourdough bread. Red Bird makes all their breads and they are really great quality. If you ever come in for lunchtime then their artisan pizza is the main attraction. They make some really wonderful, unique pizzas that you can get a slice or two and enjoy! Red Bird also offers good coffee here (Retrograde!) and other hot drinks. Plus, they do cakes and desserts to order. We have ordered their Yule Log for several Christmas's in the past, and we order cakes here for birthdays. The service here is always friendly and helpful, and we love sitting at their long, wooden tables when there is time to eat at the cafe. I like their dining area, which feels very communal and fun. If you haven't been here before then come and check it out! read more

The coffee cheesecake and panna cotta were a huge disappointment. The coffee cheesecake was very grainy and the "crust" was half mush. The panna cotta was sour and consistency was loose in the middle, definitely not set properly. Customer service was terrible. The girl was impatient, did not greet or thank us, and just wandered off when we were finishing the transaction. No bag offered. No receipt. She just left to go resume chatting with her colleague that we "interrupted". This is not the first issue with this location. There have been double charges, failure to give discount even when the 5$ off was redeemed in cashapp or at the register, and issues with bakes and pizza. This is the last we will be visiting and will no longer recommend to others. Which is unfortunate as we've been customers for four years. But there is only so many chances you can give a place before it's a waste of money and effort. If i could give 0 stars i would. read more

Very disappointing customer service. I went with my mom expecting a pleasant experience, but the cashier didn't even say hello to us. She avoided eye contact, handed us the tart without saying anything, and we even had to grab our own receipt from the counter. Not even a simple "thank you." Small things like greeting customers and being polite make a big difference. read more

If this picture doesn't make you want to immediately go to redbird idk what will. Hands down the best avo toast in Sonoma Co for the price. Catch me here once a week for this incredible, delicious, and fresh toast and an iced latte (using retrograde beans). They also serve other breakfast items, pastries and pizza/sandwiches for lunch. Always friendly staff, with community tables inside to sit. read more

Red Bird Bakery - Avocado toast! - Bakeries Near Me - Cotati, California

Get here early before they run out of pastries!! Inside smells delicious. It's inviting and warm inside. There are a few tables to sit at. Aside from beautiful fresh artisan breads, they have a unique selection of baked goods such as pumpkin tea cakes, coffee filled morning buns, galettes, cranberry tarts, savory scones, vanilla crumb donuts, and vegan options. It is difficult to make a decision on what to get because everything looks delicious. It's a good thing the staff is patient with all their customers. I wanted to take a few home for the kids. I settled for a jam pocket, chocolate croissant, apple cinnamon scone, pistachio filled morning bun, and a sun-dried tomato, fennel, feta and spinach roll. The specialty coffee drinks also look amazing! I already had my coffee but I really wish I could've tried one of theirs. I think there was a marshmallow latte that looked intriguing! While I waited for my husband to pay, I tried one of the peanut butter cookie samples on top of the counter. Then we left. Guess what! After we had brunch with friends, we went back to Red Bird around 11:45 am because I really wanted a peanut butter cookie. Most things were sold out!!! Thank goodness they still had a couple of cookies left. Like I said, get there early or else they'll sell out!! read more

Always a 5 star experience coming here. The treat is to try something new at every visit!

They've reached out and offered to fix everything. Wasn't up to their usual standards. I'll be going back for sure.

Red Bird bakery. A friendly local bakery. They have a good selection of pastry and breakfast options. I really enjoyed the apple gallete. It wasn't overly sweet and the crust was flavorful, flaky but sturdy enough. The apples were tasty, thinly sliced, caramelized and perfectly sliced. Also, have to say the apples had a great texture. Not mushy but not too crisp still, a great balance. My roasted pork sandwich was a little less impressive. Good flavor, but I thought the execution could have been better. It felt a little like I was eating pre-cut seasoned pork chunks that were just heat and serve. It would have been significantly better if they used a nice herb rubbed pork loin roast and carved some slices off of it. Would have been nicer for texture, and presentation. The bread was also a little over toasted. Scraped up my mouth pretty good and didn't really stay fluffy inside. I also got myself a drip coffee because caffeine. It tasted pretty average to me. It was a medium roast coffee, approachable and a crowd pleaser. Of you're looking for a solid daily drinker, you could get it here. I believe they use retrograde coffee which is decent. Overall. I like this place. They have big live edge tables and benches that you can easily fit a large family of 8 (ask me how I know) and enjoy a meal and coffee with. It's not fancy, but it's got a nice comfortable vibe about it. read more

Very nice pastries! Both sweet and savory! They have lunch items and you can sit and eat there. I believe they have soups and salads too. Many coffee and tea drinks. My husband loved the pastry he had. I had a vanilla crumb donut. Very homemade and delicious (worth the calories, LOL!) Visit Red Bird if you haven't been there in Cotati! read more

Red Bird Bakery is one of my favorite local spots and everything I've tried there has been absolutely delicious. Their jam and butter scone is my personal favorite. They offer a great selection of pastries and baked goods, and you can even special order cupcakes or cakes for any event. Their fresh-baked bread is some of the best I've had anywhere in Sonoma County, soft, flavorful, and consistently top quality. Prices are right in line with other Sonoma County bakeries and markets, making it an easy go-to for treats, special orders, or a standout loaf of bread. Highly recommend! read more

I used to love this place but it seems to be going through some changes. There is a new beautiful mural that took the place of the old Cracker Barrel looking decor on one wall. The food quality is still good, but the prices have all either gone up, or you get less food for the price. My go-to comfort food here is the chai tea and avocado toast. When I went this past week, the avaocado toast was slightly smaller and with slightly less avocado (the avocado has been shrinking over the last few years, I'm guessing its proportional to the price of avocados) and it no longer comes with a side (green) salad. There used to be a healthy amount of lettuce, but this time I only got a few very small pieces of fruit (I wouldn't even call it a fruit salad). I can't justify paying $12 for this small amount of food. The $4 chai comes in a cup that is between 6 and 8 ounces and they still charge $1 per refill. Both the original price and the refill price are ridiculous for this brewed tea. Unless they are adding gold leaf to the chai now, it's just not worth it. I used to really love eating at this spot, but the price range is moving into the special-occasions-only realm while the food is not changing. The food is absolutely delicious. The quality is still there, but the value is not. read more

I didn't find this place to be very special. I thought the baked goods were mediocre. Staff was very friendly though. That's what earned the fourth star. It was very busy with a line out the door so maybe I missed something. read more

The best bread in Sonoma County. The olive is one of our favorites. The knotted sourdough is beautiful and tasty. We haven't found a loaf we don't love. Highly recommend. read more

We stopped here just to grab a quick bite on our road trip and shared a slice of their chicken pesto pizza I don't remember what it's actually called. We ordered it to go. We got handed the pizza and my mom asked if they could warm it up for us. They started helping other people after we had paid, which is fine. My reasoning for the one star review is because after the pizza was done they literally just threw it on the counter and my mom and I were chatting so we had no idea that our pizza was ready and some lady took it. We asked if we could have it redone and they said no because they had just run out of that type of pizza. They also refused to refund us. I asked if we could have a different slice then because it's not fair to just take seven dollars from somebody. The lady rolled her eyes and threw a fit and gave it to us cold. At this point, we were so taken aback. We just took it and left and just ate it cold. It didn't taste good anyway. read more

It was my fault to come close to closing so I had a limited selection but the seeded levain loaf is to die for!!! I tried a piece of spicy pizza with all kinds of peppers on it - cold so it wasn't at its best but I needed a quick bite. I was hoping to get some leftover pastries at a deal but the girl at the counter was like no but I can through in an epi baguette so that was a bonus. It's a cute place with tables and in a convenient location. I enjoyed it and will be back to try more items. read more

I stopped at Red Bird for coffee. While I waited for my turn, I heard the House-Made English Muffins softly calling my name. I'm so glad i purchased the English Muffins; they are the best I've ever had! read more

Great little breakfast spot! Homemade English muffins even. Nice people and lots of yummy baked items.

Great staff, cute spot and the best house chai in the county. If you love a spicy chai this has to be your go to. The pastries and desserts are amazing from seasonal panna cotta to whatever slices of cake they have in the case. It's all worth buying! The ficelle sandwiches or homemade sausage breakfast sandwiches are the perfect thing to pack for a picnic too. read more

My husband and I stopped here on a Saturday morning to grab some pastries. There was a long line, but the ladies working were quick and it didn't take us too long. We tried a blackberry danish and a cinnamon roll. They were both delicious - honestly tasted way better than they looked! They were crispy and soft at the same time, and both had great flavor. I forgot to take photos inside, but it's also cute in there with lots of live plants. read more

In general I love this place, great coffee, delicious pastries and sandwiches, welcoming environment. My issue here is with the owners response to dogs on the table. I understand welcoming a well-behaved service dog or even a demure pet on leash, on the floor under a table, into a food service area. But when the pet owner invites the dog onto the seat, allowing it to place paws and face in the table next to the food...and the shop owner simply shrugs ... gives concern for how health standards are held throughout the process. Seriously considering not returning if this is reflective of health standards. read more

This is the best little spot in Cotati! They have grown so much since their days off toad road - they used to make the best little square thingy with ham and cheese I couldn't get enough. So sad I transferred to SF - but hey whenever I am in town it's a must stop for all desserts and pizza! Did I forget to mention delicious coffee? read more

Delicious food, great service, friendly staff and delightful ambiance! First time at Red Bird Bakery, we were greeted by the friendly staff immediately.

We look forward to eating here again! read more

The savory bread was stale I did not enjoy eating it. Latte was mediocre. I was excited to try the tres leches cake and the strawberry had mold on it I didn't even eat it after. Service was fine it was quick but I do think more effort should be put in to ensure quality. Very disappointing read more

I stopped in for a sandwich with my mother. I had the Chinese chicken salad. It was good but not great. I was a little disappointed in it. Last time I had it it was better. My mother had their cheese sandwich. The tomatoes were way too thick and there was very little cheese. The staff were friendly. I found that the place was really noisy and difficult to have a conversation. The music was a tad high bread slicer was really loud. read more

Okay so we had a takeout experience so this review is solely about the food. The breakfast burrito will not disappoint. It's big, delicious, and tasteful! It's not even because I was hungry y'all. My belly tells no lies. On top of that the chocolate cake donut...impressive. It was moist, perfect amount of sweet, and honestly so so good. I like that it wasn't your typical donut and actually had character. I will be returning for more. What's not to love! read more

Stopped in to check it out and had brunch - hubs had the breakfast burrito, I had the SOS - fried egg, sausage and gravy on their sliced sourdough. Delicious. I always worry about too heavy gravy and too salty sausage. Not the case. Will stop in again to try their pastries that looked yummy and the fresh baked bread. read more

Red bird is my favorite breakfast stop in town! They have bacon burritos that are delicious! The caramel iced latte is also very good!

We LOVE red bird. Great coffee. Great service. Great atmosphere. YUMMY PIZZA!! Must try their blanco- swiss chard... it's a must have for me. After my son would get out of preschool we would go and have a slice and I would get a coffee. It was our little weekly date. Their cakes and pastries are so yummy too! Love them read more

The cookies!! Get them, you must (says Yoda apparently)! Humungo cookies that have a nice little chewy give to them. The brownie cookie and the ginger cookie (the lady at the counter said ginger but tasted more like a general pumpkin spice) were scrumptious! As for the pastries, they're just ok. Liked the glaze on the berry danish, but the mushed-berries filling tasted a bit unripe-sour. The almond croissant was nicely raised but the almond filling was really sweet and over-crystallized with sugar. The cinnamon twist could've had more cinnamon flavor. Also, these pastries had an old texture to them; was already worried about this when I saw the cinnamon rolls in the display case with cracked, dried-out icing (was hoping that it was just the cinnamon rolls that had the freshness issue). I think this is more of a nitpick, but I wished that there was better labeling on the items in the display case; only a few items were labeled. Would have been fine if this was intended to spark more like an interactive thing with the staff where they walk you through the whole display case but, no, I had to ask the lady who was standing at the cashier station not engaging with anyone to help me identify some of the sweets lol. Stellar cookies but lackluster pastries. Service was kinda aloof. Overall 3 stars! read more

They have a great variety of desserts, pastries, and baked goods. And I love, they're already made sandwiches. I've tried all of those sandwiches, and they are all great. Keep in mind, I don't like pepperoncini or pickles, but I never take them out, when included in these particular sandwiches. Love the Cotati location, have never had a bad experience here. They're Santa Rosa location is limited and doesn't offer the same variety that the Cotati location does. I've never visited their Sebastopol location. The only downside is that I live 30 minutes away. read more

Second time we have received the completely wrong loaf of bread after driving there to buy one and asking for it to be sliced. Called to let them know, and there was not even an apology, let alone an offer to make it right and replace it. Good product, but pretty poor PR from the "acting manager." Don't know if we will go back. read more

Must stop I and enjoy this delicious selection of Italian style premade sandwiches easy for grab and go. The incredible pastries selection for the sweet tooth, vegan, gf individual. The rustic breads are spectacular. Community seating inside and outdoor two seaters line the entrance. The line seems continuous but the staff keeps it moving quickly and we had less than a five minute wait. This is now going to be on my regular rotation. read more

This place was amazing! Super cute location and tons of options if you get there earlier. I went on a weekend and there was constantly people coming in. Croissant was flakey and delicious. Blueberry scone was flaky as well and very amazing filling. It was a bit pricier than others and loud inside but totally worth the price. read more
