    Delicious eggplant sandwich, which when you order it comes with a choice of salad, soup, or (good) fries.
    Elizabeth H.

    This visit was a blast from the past for me. When I think of Cotati I think of this place and the surrounding businesses. First of all, its the ambiance that is a treasure. It harkens back to earlier times, a bit of 60s/70s. There is still (good) live music in the evenings. The food is delightful, and the staff matches the chill vibe. Lots of local art to see. They have 2 screens to watch soccer if you are so inclined. (Captioned in English), Bring the family.

    Tortilla Scramble with chorizo
    William O.

    Redwood Cafe is a regular place for my family. We have come here to have birthday breakfasts with a large party and it's always been great fun! The Redwood Cafe has got a lot of space, but feels cozy at the same time thanks to the dark wood and the fireplace. You order at the counter and sometimes the folks behind the counter have trouble hearing you, but it works ok. They still have their Covid screens up to protect their workers which is important for some businesses. I have tried many dishes here, but a few of my go-to dishes include the Tortilla Scramble (I always add chorizo), the Mexican omelette, the Redwood Omelette, and their bakery goods are all delicious! My daughter loves their blueberry pancakes and my wife is a big fan of their Mediterranean omelette. This is a great, local business that serves the community all day long with breakfast through dinner and some nights has bands play on their stage space. The outdoor seating is also great!

    Mushroom, Red Pepper, and Swiss Cheese Sandwich

    My friend and I had the Mushroom, Red Pepper, and Swiss Cheese Sandwich with Sweet Potato and regular fries, and the sandwich and fries were excellent and so delicious!

    The sign guy did a great job... this how I figured out what they were serving.

    Homemade chips, hearty chicken nachos for $15! Delicious flavors, thick crunchy chips, that did not get soggy, choice of black beans or refried beans, guacamole and sour cream We did not get any baked goods because it's thanksgiving and we have a lot of sweets at home, but boy did I want them!! Coffee cake, scones, bars, cakes OMG We were just passing through but think I'll have to come back for that coffee cake. The lady who served us was so friendly and she clearly had a fondness for the restaurant and the food. She also touched her heart which made me feel good. Looks like a place where locals go!

    This is an order at the counter then they bring your food out to you. They have a wonderful menu and I love their outside spaces. They have music on the weekends, too. Gluten-free options as well.

    Redwood Cafe is a quaint diner with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating that is perfect for a casual hang. After running with some friends in the area, we were super hungry! My friend had suggested Redwood Cafe because not only would it be open, but also he was craving their Breakfast Burrito. It was a great suggestion! When we got there Saturday morning, the vibe was chill inside with plenty of seats. It also looked like there was a stage for nights where they have open mic music for the dinner crowd. As many diners, Redwood Cafe had a pretty extensive menu with the classic brunch fare. However, I was particularly intrigued by their Triad Bodybuilding options which seemed to be curated by health coaches. Although the Breakfast Burrito still sounded super tempting, I finally settled on the Real Deal Power Meal which was four egg whites with a choice of meat and two buckwheat pancakes. For the size, the price was super reasonable and I thought the food was solid. In terms of service, you do have to go up to the counter to order and pay before taking a seat. Given how hungry we were, we appreciated that the food came out pretty quickly. Parking immediately in front of the restaurant was a bit difficult to find, but there is some on the street within walking distance. Overall, Redwood Cafe was a nice diner with plenty of decent brunch offerings especially if you are in the Cotati area.

    Corned Beef Hash

    Wednesday Brunch in Cotati. I called in the morning to confirm they are dog friendly. Theodore and I grabbed a seat on the back patio. There is a row of picnic style tables with umbrellas. We sat smack dab in the middle. Delfino greeted us with a friendly smile. He returned with water and menu. Theodore had New York Strip Steak with scrambled eggs. I had Corned Beef Hash with soft poached eggs and sourdough toast. Food arrived within 10-15 minutes. Our meal was good. I like my egg yolk a smidge more runny. Large amount of food. Delfino was attentive which is really nice. Hate having to flag down servers for condiments and such. The menu is abundant. Sure to please almost everyone. Highly recommend!

    This is one of my favorite local haunts. The ambience is cozy with all-wood interior and a fireplace. It's a wonderful place for meeting groups of any size with counter service and plenty of seating both inside out. The food is solid and the menu is huge with something for everyone and every diet. Really, the menu is so varied and consistently good. The people are lovely, and the happy hour is an awesome deal from 3-5 M-F. They also have weekday breakfast specials. Can you tell I practically live here? Come support this local gem!

    Flys

    Food was horrible. Portions were very small for the expensive price. Italian soda tasted horrible. Lunch for 2 people cost us $80. The people working were very rude and not helpful at all. We asked for more salad dressing and the waitress was annoyed to get it for us and never brought any back, she sat behind the counter and was just talking with other co-workers. There were also flys all over the dinning area. This place has gone down hill over the last year or so. I don't recommend this place anymore. We will not be going back.

    Everything was perfect! This place is a gem!…read more The burger was one of the best fancy burgers I've had in a long time. It looked like they ground their meat in house, but I forgot to ask so don't quote me on that. It was cooked a PERFECT medium rare topped with bacon, Cambazola, fig jam and frisse, served on a soft yet sturdy brioche style bun. The shoestring fries were like crack, super addictive, I couldn't stop! The wife had the steak frites, and it might be our new favorite restaurant for that dish. Steak was cooked ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY!! Fries were out of control good. No notes! Nice craft cocktail menu, short but well curated wines by the glass list, and the bartender had a heavy hand with those pours. Had a few oysters on the half shell as an appetizer, and we split the fried green tomatoes too. Those were topped with fresh shaved corn and a cilantro cream.l.with a few cherry tomatoes for color. So good. The atmosphere is old school speak easy vibe. Classy but casual. It's a small restaurant and the bar is front and center but they have a few tables outside for when the weather is nice. Our server was Sam, and she was the greatest. Hat's off to you for your service, Sam!

    Amazing friendly service, tasty food and cocktails, and gorgeous classy decor. We look forward to…read moregoing back. We had corn, burrata, and a couple of cocktails. The whole time we sat at the bar and chatted. It was a delightful night.
