Finding a neighborhood gem like Red Bird Bakery is exactly why we support local artisans. This spot has mastered the balance of traditional technique and a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere that makes it a standout in the North Bay. The craftsmanship here is evident in every loaf and pastry. Their sourdough is a masterclass in texture, boasting that perfect, resilient crust and a complex, airy crumb that captures the essence of classic fermentation. The sweet and savory options are equally impressive, delivered with a warmth that feels authentically local. * **Pastry Excellence:** The ham and cheese croissants are expertly laminated, providing a shatteringly crisp exterior that gives way to a rich, savory center. For those with a sweet tooth, the berry scones are consistently packed with fresh fruit and have a tender, buttery finish. * **Signature Granola:** Beyond the fresh bakes, their granola is a hidden star--perfectly toasted, balanced in sweetness, and ideal for a high-energy morning. * **The Vibe:** Whether you're visiting the Sebastopol Avenue location or catching them at the farmer's market, the service is genuinely personal. The brick-and-mortar space has a cool, industrial-meets-inviting aesthetic that makes it a great destination, even if you're used to grabbing your favorites at Oliver's. Have you had a chance to try any of their seasonal special loaves, or do you tend to stick to the classic sourdough? read more

Cute bakery and cafe in a neat funky/artsy little neighborhood. Visited for the first time around 10am on a weekday, only a person or two in line ahead of me. No danish left, but tried a cinnamon roll and an Italian deli sandwich. The roll was good, but a little more dense than I like. The sandwich was fantastic and pretty large for the price. A small latte was very good, love their beans! read more

Yes, yes, we all love and appreciate bakeries. This one has a warm and cozy and friendly vibe. What's different about this bakery besides fresh pastries and bread: Pizza. They offer Two kinds. One veggie option. Love that. This is a place I want to visit again. The atmosphere is inviting and cheerful. read more

Great savory & sweet pastries & coffee, and they were super nice! Will be back to try their sandwiches.

These guys have some of my favorite bread in Sonoma County. Baked fresh to perfection every time. Bread for all occasions. Their sourdough with a butternut squash soup on a winter night hits the spot. Super fresh! read more

Delicious pastries, and bread limited gluten-free options but when we asked where we might get a gluten-free cake we were given great directions in a backup option. Place was buzzing on a Saturday morning. We got lucky with parking. Will happily return again great owners/service. read more

This is a public service announcement. They do close at 2 o'clock 2 PM online. It does say they close at three so the Yelp page needs an update and the sign on their door as well. However, I love them. They are the best bread in SonomaCounty in my opinion and a lot of others too. I used to be an acme fan till I found Redbird. And don't worry, you can get their loaves at most Olivers before they run out and they do run out every day . if you stop at any Olivers for your Redbird, you will see that it's the only part of the shelf that's empty before all of the other locally made brands. It's just that good. This little bakery café is adorable here on Sebastopol Avenue very close to downtown and Railroad Square. The people are sweet. This bread is iconic, period! read more

The best breakfast sandwich around! Loved the people running the bakery! So friendly and accommodating!

I was lucky enough to have a friend bring me treats from this little spot. I completely forgot to take pictures, unfortunately. She brought me a pain au chocolate and a plain croissant. I was intrigued by the texture as they were not exactly what I would expect. While they were not terribly flaky. the pastry was still excellent. My husband absolutely adored a croissant and said that he felt like while they didn't have the same layers, they were not greasy and quite delicious. Will definitely go and try something in the future. read more

Amazing place Tucked into the Santa Rosa neighborhood . Pastry's are amazing, customer service spot on. Coffee spot on, seating on point. All the goodies were so good, light, flavorful and delicious. Highly recommended. read more

Red bird bakery is a must stop for pastries! I love getting the Sandwhiches, pizza, and morning bun. Those are all my favorites! This location is smaller but still has a variety of options to choose from. Parking is sometimes difficult but isn't too bad. It's a cute spot for sure and so glad they have one in Santa Rosa! read more

Love red bird bakery the breakfast sandwich's are great. The best pizza by the slice in Santa Rosa and I love their sweet danish. I love the baguette sandwiches when I need to grab something to go. During a mural festival red bird bakery was gracious enough to donate sweets for the artist. read more

Okay. 12 hours later and I'm still thinking about their chocolate cake donut. Honestly more of a cake shaped in donut form but totally enjoyable as a sweet breakfast treat after my bacon breakfast sandwich. Prices are reasonable which is amazing these days and I like how the breakfast sandos and burritos are premade and waiting hot. Made the wait time essentially non existent. Will be coming back for another chocolate donut soon. read more

Great little bakery! My new favorite place for sourdough bread. The loaves are light and delicious, but they have plenty of sweet pastries and desserts to satisfy your taste buds too. They still have sandwiches for lunch, but not quite as many as before so come early. My favorite is the chicken pesto. They now offer a "pizza" option too. I'm so glad they opened up near my work! read more

Super friendly staff, great quality lates, delicious pastries. I loved the decor as well! read more

We ordered the breakfast sandwich with sausage, cinnamon roll and croissant sandwich. All were mediocre at best. They were microwaved and extremely dry. It was unclear if the sausage patty was a burger or actual sausage. We ended up making it through 1/2 and tossing the rest. read more

Was excited to try a few items but they were sold out by the time I got there (around 11:30am Monday). Overheard they sell out of some things around 9:30am so definitely recommend going earlier for more options! The things we did try were alright, but then again our options were limited. Not sure I'll ever be back in the area to try it again sadly. Cute bakery, I personally enjoyed the music choices, nice staff. read more

We've visited Redbird Bakery on Sebastopol Ave. several times because the quality of their ingredients and baked goods is truly outstanding. However, the customer service has been consistently disappointing. Each time we've come in, the staff seems impatient while customers browse the large selection of items. Only once has anyone asked if we wanted our food warmed; every other time, when we've asked ourselves, the response has felt more like an inconvenience than a simple request. Instead of a friendly "Of course," the item is taken without acknowledgment, which makes the interaction feel unwelcoming. We've also noticed that utensils are rarely stocked, and when waiting at the pickup window to ask for some, staff often avoid eye contact and don't acknowledge customers who clearly need assistance. During our most recent visit, an iced coffee was served hot, but after already feeling like I was putting the staff out by asking for basic things, I didn't feel comfortable requesting it be corrected. Additionally, the tables were covered in crumbs from the day before--we were the first customers when the bakery opened, so they clearly hadn't been cleaned prior to opening. It's truly a shame, because the food is exceptional. With friendlier, more attentive service, the overall experience could match the quality of the products. read more

10/10 loved this place. The goodies were good and the staff were cool. I had a nice cup of tea and grabbed a delicious sandwich and a donut for my kid. Cozy dining area that wasn't overcrowded, also easy to park! Both this and the cotati spot are great. read more

Fruit square pastry was delicious and the breakfast sando with sausage patty was unique. They make their English muffins in house and seems like the sausage was made in house as well. The egg was very generous! Service was great and I'd come back to get some bread and try the pizza. read more

Delicious, fresh foccacia bread, wonderful fresh desserts and fine Arnold Palmers! One woman ran the whole lunch show! Sweet place and I took a loaf of bread home and totally yummers! read more

My first time at Red Bird today. I found out it's a block down from where I get my acupuncture so I can easily swing by for morning breakfast! They serve everything from pastries, cookies, tarts, cakes, cream puffs, breakfast burritos, sandwiches and the morning cup of Joe. A little something for everyone, I would definitely be coming back more often! read more

This place is AMAZING. Their bathroom is a lil' sketch ngl but other than that it is great. If you are willing to pay a little more money than you would at like McDonald's, then this place is top tier. Very good and would recommend for anyone passing through here. Thanks for all the memories!! read more

Nice cafe in downtown Santa Rosa, near Julliard Park. We got coffee here and walked around the park. I got a honey lavender latte which was made perfectly. It was not too sweet and the lavender was not over powering. We also got the regular black coffee which was good too. The service was great and the barista was nice. read more

Food is not that tasty and expensive. And service is very very slow. Took 15 minutes to get a latte and 25 minutes to get the hot sandwich. Hot sandwich bread tasted underbaked. Yuck. read more

I've been a supporter since they started. In the last year I feel like their quality & offerings have really increased! I've really been enjoying the breakfast burrito & sandwiches. My only gripe is that they are Closed on Monday & Tuesday. read more

Love it I was visiting from Sacramento and found Red Bird amazing bakery item and the bread is the best we need one in El Dorado Hills

So excited to have this local gem in downtown Santa Rosa now too!!! If you know Red bird you know we are talking about high quality baked goods! While it's not the cheapest option on the block I feel strongly you get what you pay for. Excellent baked goodies at reasonable prices for the deliciousness you get. Welcome to Santa Rosa permanently as opposed to farmers market stands. You can visit them also in Cotati and Sebastopol! Today I grabbed an assortment of goodies for a friend's birthday including the amazing strawberry jam and cheese danish, berry and apple danish, and some cookies to share. read more

A vendor just brought in a box of assorted pastries. They barely lasted long enough for me to get anything, but I did manage a chocolate donut. That was one of the most enjoyable donuts I have ever had. Hope more of my vendors start stopping here before coming to get me to buy products. Those who bring this...may do well...LOL. read more

This location would have received more than 5 stars if that was an option. Do not be like me and hear about this place and assume it's "just another bakery" it is far from your average!! There are currently 3 locations in Sonoma county: Santa Rosa, Cotati, and Sebastopol. I visited the Santa Rosa location and had the blessing of meeting one of the owners who happily answered ALL of my and my friends many questions. First off - they have samples (I love samples) and I tried the most amazing, moist delish gluten free chocolate brownie and OMG instantly sold (yes I bought one) Second - they have things besides pastries!! I had the most phenomenal breakfast sando made on their homemade from scratch English muffin and I can tell you now, I am a repeat customer. The bread was soft and moist and squishy but NOT dense!! There was NO heaviness that normally follows when I eat bread. This is in part to their process when baking. Their coffee is also amazing lol I really cannot say ENOUGH about this place you just really need to stop by and try it yourself. Or don't and leave more for me!! Side note they take well deserved break from service on Mondays so stick up on Sunday or be like me craving that breakfast sando until Tuesday!!! Inside is warm and welcoming with plenty of seating. read more

Not impressed.. was my first time there.. staff didn't seem very friendly .. I ordered the PB "pastry" it was more like a PB CUP.. I could have gotten that else where .. Iir just tasted like a bunch of sugar mixed with PB.. 'm never coming bag to this shop ! read more

Have had their bread and like it but today got a breakfast burrito and they gave me spoiled salsa with it. I ate a few bites before I realized and now have a stomach ache. Nasty, makes me question their food safety protocols and won't go back. read more

Wow. What a find?! Small, cute, little cafe with one of the best breakfast burritos I've had in my life, and I've had quite a bit. I got a the sausage and was surprised with the country gravy inside Super hearty ...and their Americano...perfect. And the cherry on top...their thick homemade salsa. Keep it up, Red Bird Bakery read more

Had the most amazing jalapeño bread, it looked like a round larger size bagel. Tasted light, airy, and spicy. Nice crunch too. I also purchased one of there amazing croissants :). Yummy I made a chicken sandwich with the croissant... Thank you read more

I love their bread, especially the Epi and baguettes, the sliced Pullman is also delicious and freezes really well. The pastries are also yummy. I usually buy at the Saturday farmer's market on farmers lane. If you're ever at the bakery in Cotati they have awesome sandwiches to go. My new favorite goody is the chocolate donut, it's amazing! read more

Red Bird Bakery - Chocolate donut - Bakeries Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

This place is AH MA ZING!! If you're looking for freshly baked baguettes, levains, or other breads, Red Bird has it. If you're looking for delicious, pastries, like croissants, bread puddings, scones, Red Bird has it. If you're looking for a delicious breakfast burrito or avocado toast, Red Bird has it. The customer service is excellent. We told them it was our first time which is why we took so much time and they kept telling us not to rush and take our time to look (even as the queue behind us grew). They offer indoor seating which was very clean and a table or two outdoors with surrounding area being residential. Our favorites were : * Breakfast burrito: perfect size for a breakfast burrito, nicely toasted on the outside, filed with bacon, egg, potato and cheese. * Sesame bread ring: truly a bread more so than a large bagel. Great amount of sesame and perfect chew. * bread pudding: deliciously moist with the perfect amount of sweet * Baguette: great crust Hoping they would've had a savory croissant but they did have other savory pastries. Didn't try the coffee, which will make a point to try next time. All in all, there's something for everyone, adults and kids alike, prices are beyond reasonable for the quality of product and level of service. read more

I've had their delicious bread at my daughter's but never visited one of their bakeries until yesterday. Cute little spot and while I got there late, so no savory pastries as they were sold out, grabbed a $4 banquette which for bread of this quality is a steal. Well worth a visit. read more

Absolutely adorable beautiful and such a sweet spot to visit. We just had a terrible Airbnb experience and needed to recharge with coffee and bread. The baguette is gorgeous and tastes amazing, crunchy outside, soft inside. Very yummy. The chai lattes were a little watery but so flavorful I was able to overlook it. 10/10 would recommend and can't wait to be back! read more

Their danishes are SO good!! I've been to the Red Bird Bakery location in Cotati, and decided to check out their newest location in Santa Rosa. This location is in a small strip mall, and you'll need to keep an eye out for their sign. They weren't busy at 11:30am on a Saturday, but they were already sold out of some breads and pastries. There was definitely less variety than their Cotati location, but their staff mentioned that they will be adding new items soon (such as their delicious jam pockets!). I ended up trying the Raspberry Fruit Square ($4.50), Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookie ($5), Blackberry Danish ($4.50) [https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Cc8QXYqDbXZOLD9PnOpsSg&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg]. Even though I don't usually love raspberry, this was surprisingly my favorite out of all the items! Their danish was buttery, but airy and flakey, and delicious and flavorful without being overly sweet. The raspberry filling had the perfect balance of tang and sweetness- a must order! Their blackberry danish was also really good, but it needed more filling. I would still order this again. I thought the peanut butter sandwich cookie was just ok since I love chewy cookies, and this one was on the crispier side. The filling also could've had more peanut butter flavor. Their staff was super friendly and helpful, but were not wearing masks. Hand sanitizer was available, but they did not have indoor or outdoor seating from what I could see. Some street parking spots were available at the time, but they were limited. read more
