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

Redwood Cafe - Mushroom, Red Pepper, and Swiss Cheese Sandwich - American Near Me - Cotati, California

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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Redwood Cafe has got a lot of space, but feels cozy at the same time thanks to the dark wood and the fireplace.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outdoor seating is also great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great restaurant and service to boot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A good feeling? Atmosphere? A vibe[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].... Perhaps today's weather was superb? [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat in the patio as we brought our 75 lb pooch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had the clubhouse sandwich & fries also the blue cheese burger with fries. All was excellent though I did feel the fries lacked volume..... more to be desired. We will definitely be back. Cotati is a cute town.... Our first time there! read more

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! read more

Ty he food here has been pretty mediocre every time. We've given it three shots and each time we were really disappointed the menu is way too huge. Focus on a smaller menu and make it great rather than trying to impress with so many items that are very underwhelming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's such a cute place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Too bad it sucks so much. read more

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. read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were also flys all over the dinning area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Live music great band ..[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] soda are expensive tho .. 20.00 for 4 cokes .. is a bit steep even in today's climate . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good atmosphere wait staff had a pretty good attitude.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You self order at the counter and pay I find them wanting 15-20% tip is kinda pushing in today's service climate.. especially since I'm ordering and getting my own drinks . I had the New York steak sandwich,was pretty typical nothing to write home about the fries were not crisp .. kinda soggy like maybe old oil or they had been made a prior to my order. Not bad on a hot night out not having to cook read more

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! read more

Best eggs Benedict I've ever had. I dream about them. I've tried the Blackstone as well. Occasionally have to mix it up. It's all about the hollandaise and they knock it out the park. read more

Was in town visiting family and friends for the Christmas holiday and we decided to grab some dinner at Redwood Cafe. What a great local place, food was delicious and a large variety on the menu to choose from. A little different from most places where you order your food and drinks in line, pay and they bring the food to you. Great ambience while it was cold and wet outside the fireplace kept us warm inside, a local blues band began playing and dancing soon started. Truly enjoyed this casual gem and will definitely be back when we are in town. Grazie Redwood Cafe for creating a memorable experience. Ciao read more

I'm not gonna lie, I've been to Redwood Cafe 3 days out of 7 recently, why you may ask, Music. They excel in music offerings, live bands, musicians, from Blue Grass, to Blues to Open Mic Jazz. It's what draws me to the place. The food is ok, the menu is a little too much, portions are pretty big, but the cooking is basic. They serve breakfast all day & night. You order food at the counter and it is delivered to you. They offer beer and wine, plenty of seating but the plastic picnic tables in the back are not comfortable but I guess good for bigger parties. The staff is great, they hustle, cleaning, serving. They have a nice selection of art on display highlighting various local artist, it's an inviting space with a patio outside as well. Check out their calendar for their events from music to art receptions, it's worth stopping by. read more

Spending a good part of my life in Sonoma County, I haven't spent much time in Cotati. When some friends told me about the Redwood Cafe, I had to give it a try. This local favorite is a little rustic but that's what makes it unique. The staff was great and the food was delicious. You have to order your breakfast at the counter but the staff will keep your coffee cup full at your table. read more

I highly suggest people go for the music. There were plenty of chairs and tables for people to sit at. read more

Redwood Cafe is my favorite place to eat, gather, meet friends and also just relax and sometimes listen to music. I love the staff so much. They were accommodating when I was wheelchair bound, when I was going through a rough patch in recovery from broken ankle they would bring my plates to me. I would even order from DoorDash when I was homebound. When my Mom passed away I came home from Oregon and I just wanted to get my comfort food and I got hugs! This restaurant truly represents community, exceptional customer service, a lovely atmosphere and a feeling of home Thank you Redwood Cafe I love you! My favorites are:Chicken fried Steak breakfast, the chili, the Protein shakes, the salads. The chai tea latte and of course the bakery items! read more

This place is happening. Great music, although a bit loud as my friend and I had a hard time hearing each other. She had the Greek salad with chicken and I had a club sandwich. So delicious. I would easily order this again. Bathrooms were clean as well. That's always a plus for me. read more

I love this place for the fact they serve breakfast all day. They also allow substitutions which OS a huge plus for me. Their Benedict's use the real deal delicious hollandaise sauce btw, and great quality bacon. The burgers are also of great quality. And i appreciate you can sub salad for fries etc. and added slices of avocado are extra fresh! Even though it's order food at a window they go advice and beyond to try to provide extra service; very nice people there! It's a great ambiance for families and if you're lucky they have live performing musicians from time to time, call them for the schedule. read more

Wanted to get a "light" lunch before a 5pm wedding and daughter picked this place for the salads and smoothies. And she picked GREAT! We all loved everything we got and in fact ordered more to go in prep for a late night meal after the wedding! LOL First of all - their menu is pretty extensive so it caters to everyone in the fam! AND their smoothies are so refreshing and delicious! You order - get a number - sit and they bring everything to you! We got our waters first, place settings (though they usually have them at each of the tables but our table was lacking) and are so fast and friendly!! We all got smoothies, so many to choose from. I loved my Strawberry Sunshine which has yogurt, banana, strawberries, orange juice and my kids got the Strawberry Delight that has pineapple juice, banana, coconut, strawberries, and honey. My daughter and I shared the Beet Salad which I'm SO GLAD we did - it was HUGE! A mixed greens salad with TONS of beets, tomatoes, feta cheese, chopped walnuts and balsamic vinaigrette. It was perfect. Filling but not heavy! Hubby had the Mango Snapper Wrap w/salad. It's a tomato tortilla wrap with grilled pacific snapper, mango salsa, ginger slaw, avocado and jasmine rice. I took a bite to taste! Then another bit because it was so light and refreshing! Was so filling that hubby could only finish half his wrap. They're generous with the side salad as well. Youngest got the Chicken BLT w/salad, which is grilled chicken breast, bacon, lettuce, mayo tomato, and avocado. The chicken was tender and juicy with the right amount of bacon, lettuce and tomato and the avocado added the right amount of creaminess. She finished the whole thing! :) And the oldest had the Portabella Mushroom Sandwich w/salad. This is a good size portabella mushroom that's seasoned perfectly on ciabatta bread with pesto, swiss cheese, and roasted red peppers. OMG it was SO GOOD!! We all took bites out of her sandwich and ended up ordering another for a late night meal after the wedding. Which I'm SO GLAD we did - it was good even the next day heated up. We enjoyed everything, and the people who work there are so friendly and attentive. Brought over to go containers, picked up our dishes as we finished, made sure we had enough water. Would definitely come back when in the area. Just so many things to choose from!! What a gem! read more

So much variety on one plate and everything perfect. There is a nice selection of on-tap beers, cider, and desserts as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was there last night with a friend, and they had live music - Back pOrchEstra, an accomplished and talented group that always delivers seamless renditions of old favorites and newly written songs; Country Blues, Roots Rock, Rockabilly, Cajun, Cuban, and very dance-able Western swing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Couldn't have been more fun!

Please update/clean bathrooms 4 Diet Coke tasted metallic, appreciated free refills 5 had the Thai Chicken Wrap, it was good, flavorful. Came with peanut sauce on the side. Other than the sauce not sure what made it a Thai Wrap. 6 side salad very small compared to other sides we saw being served 7 the person having lunch with me said the Chicken BLT was one of best he ever had. 8 Omelets looked really good too Next time Wrap, Coke $22+ no tip read more
