This is a cute bakery with a good selection of pastries to choose from. A huge plus if you have little ones is the kids' play area located right outside, making it a family-friendly spot to hang out. I ordered one of their breakfast items; the flavor was good, but it was on the greasy side. I also felt the pricing was a bit high for what you get.
This was on my list of places to visit while I was visiting Sebastopol. It's a medium size with a couple of display counters. There's a few tables inside. But a huge patio outside. The inside has Hugh roll up doors with screens to keep the bugs out. By the time we arrived we could see that some items had sold out. Still there was a big selection of both sweet and savory items left. We picked up about a dozen different items. I ate the chocolate eclair, I didn't think that it would last long because of the heat. We also tried the kouign amann,and a raspberry Danish. All tasted fresh. In my eclair, the chocolate filling was thick and sweet chocolate tasting. This place definitely made the long drive worth the visit.
The pastries at Sarmentine were delicious, and everything we tried was fresh and flavorful. Unfortunately, the service and drink quality were disappointing. I ordered an almond milk latte but was initially given regular milk. They remade it, though they seemed annoyed about the mistake. After spending over $40 and getting back to my car, I realized the remake was just steamed almond milk with no espresso at all. For a bakery with such a strong reputation and premium prices, I'd expect a little more attention to detail and a better customer experience.
The pastries are always absolutely delicious, and I love that they keep a nice, fresh rotation of items so there's always something new to try alongside the classics. But what really elevates this spot is the Barlow location itself. It is the perfect, stress-free place to relax if you have young children. The open play area with the big blue blocks is a total lifesaver--it's a safe, contained space where the kids can run around and burn off some energy while you actually get to sit back, relax, and enjoy a fantastic pastry and a hot coffee in peace. Excellent treats, great coffee, and a wonderfully family-friendly environment. Highly recommend!
Stopped by this location in The Barlow after an early morning flight into STS. Found parking right nearby. They were playing music loudly on the exterior, which was a little odd. But once inside, the array of baked goods and the French inspired decor quickly provided a lovely distraction. There were only two staff members working, which left them spread a little thin. However, they kept composure and professionalism. Our pastries and coffees came out quick enough anyway. Everything tasted good, and there was much more in the pastry case that looked good as well. Looks like they have two other locations in the North Bay, and the founder is originally from France. Big congrats to their success.
The pastries here are absolutely worth the money. I forget the name but I got the pastry with chocolate chip and it was excellent! It basically melts in your mouth, since it's so soft! I normally don't like chocolate in my pastries but this one was delicious definitely not overpowering like some other pastries. The spot is cute and has a few tables inside as well as outside. The workers 0are so nice as well! I will say I was not a huge fan of the coffee but otherwise would come here to eat more pastries!
Sarmentine is located in the Barlow. It's a small spot with a few tables inside and a few outside. The bakery is cute and clean and offers not only sweets, but sandwiches and salads. There are lots of decadent looking items in the cases. I opted to try the vanilla eclair which was delicious. My only complaint-the prices are a bit high in my opinion. My small eclair cost over $8. Happy yo have experienced it though.
this place is great for family and friends. lots of seating and it's nice and spacious in the mornings. got lots of pastry and drink options. the service was good, got our food immediately and our drinks 5-10 minutes after ordering. the drinks were okay, not a great flavor for the iced mochas and the coffee taste was just okay. the pastries were much better. never had a canele before but it was pretty hard and couldn't taste much flavor. i enjoyed the almond chocolate croissant. so yummy and would love even more chocolate. the le normand baguette sandwich was so good and the fig jam was the best part. would definitely come back for the pastries
I've visited the other locations in Petaluma & Santa Rosa yielding pleasant experiences. Unfortunately, that was not the case at the Sebastopol location today. The number one reason for this review is due to the staff. I looked at several other reviews and noticed negative comments about the employees- having the same impression I did. The staff never looked us in the eye, had an attitude devoid of a personality and did not seem very happy to be working there. I smiled yet one was not returned. All three of us had croissants- my friends had many crisp layers (although a bit dry). My croissant was not very crispy which I found disappointing. The matcha latte I had was good. I was blown away by some of the prices- a whole quiche offered at $62! The quiche looked tasty, yet I cannot understand the cost. There were several tables inside which was appreciated as it was quite chilly outside. There were some very delectable looking treats in the glass case that if I returned, I will try one of them.
Went here for lunch and got a bag of day old pastries to bring home, gotta try a bit of everything! The service was great, and everything was baked perfectly! The coffee was delicious, and so was the quiche and sandwich!
We stopped by here for pastries after our brunch at Fern Bar! When we came in it was pretty late so we only had a few options left (mostly tarts). I chose the pistachio tart which was not only beautifully made but also tasted good! It's not too sweet and the pistachio cream is not too overpowering. The service was good! Staff is very friendly, the ambiance is ok but it gets too hot inside and for me, it will be better if there are some cozy seats or tables to accommodate people who wants to sit down from their walk at Barlow! Otherwise, great pastries! Will come back to check more options!
Cute bakery in the Barlow. It has a nice indoor and outdoor seating option and the servers are nice to questions on menu. We tried the almond chocolate croissant and veggies croissant. Veggies croissant was good and warmed up, with broccoli and bechamel sauce. Almond chocolate was heaven- flaky pastry with almond cream and chocolate cream and toasted almonds on top. Yumm! Recommend to come here for a quick bite or sit down at Barlow
liked the chouquette i got at the santa rosa location so much that i got the vanilla one at the sebastopol location. space here is a lot smaller though you get a giant window to watch them bake. liked the vanilla chouquette the most, shell is crisp and cream inside is not too sweet but still rich and tinged with vanilla

Sarmentine Bakery is one of the best bakeries in Sonoma County. Each location is excellent, although the one in Santa Rosa is definitely bigger with more selection. This location still has some of their best pastries, breads and sweets. On my most recent visit, I got to try their Coffee Bean dessert, which is a small, multi-layered treat. It's on the pricy side for something this small, but I really wanted to try it. I love a bite that has several different textures and flavors that all blend together so smoothly. I also got a free croissant from spinning an online wheel that you get for leaving an online review. The buttery croissant was excellent as it should be in a classic French bakery. The service here is always good and the ambiance is good! Honestly though, the best thing is that you're in the Barlow so go outside and enjoy the outdoor seating area and the green! read more
One of my favorite local bakeries. This was my first time at the Sebastopol location and it was small but mighty. They even mentioned they bake all the bread in house. Lots of options from savory to sweet. My favorite is the Parisian style flan which isn't too sweet, and their sandwiches are simple but made with really high quality ingredients. Today I just wanted a refreshing cold drink and ordered the hibiscus and orange iced tea. Very refreshing and a good balance of tartness from the hibiscus and zestiness from the orange. They only had 4 tables for indoor seating but had some outdoor seating available next to the little grassy playground in the Barlow. read more

Hello Nina! Thank you so much for your kind words! We are delighted…
Very much enjoyed my visit to Sarmentine in Sebastapol. I am a sucker for great pastries, and this place lives up to the hype. Sarmentine is located in The Barlow in a premium corner location. Easy and free parking nearby. They offer phenomenal pastries and coffee beverages. I tried some of the day-old pastries as well as a selection of fresh stuff such as the pain suisse, canele, and some others. Everything was amazing- even the day-olds. I also thought the pricing here was reasonable for great pastries. I have paid much more than what I paid at Sarmentine for less scrumptious pastries. The staff who helped me out were kind, and they offered some great recommendations as to what I should order. The inside/outside dining space is a great touch, and they have a great kids' area right outside as part of The Barlow. Worth the visit! read more

I love to bake, and this place was a baker's inspiration! The sourdough loaves were crunchy, the Crocquet Monsieur creamy on the inside and buttery crunch on the outside, delectable! Their Chai was subtly sweet and spicy, so comforting good. And the Chocolate croissant , to die for. Wait staff were friendly and efficient, even when I was touring their bakery cases and taking my sweet time to decide. They couldn't have been nicer, considering. This place is amazing and their goods over the top. The hardest part of coming in, is making a decision what to buy. read more

Hi Ryo,…
Nice spacious bakery with lots of delicious treats. Staff are all nice. One of the cashiers kept making mistakes though. They gave us 3 vs 2 coffees which they refunded us and gave the 3rd one for free. We got extra goodies after we had our first round and she made a mistake again and gave us a pastry we didn't ask for. At that point we didn't say anything as we knew its yummy and didn't want to get another item for free... - Butter Croissant: really good. It was light color but the texture & flavor were great. It was crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. - Pain Swiss: this was one of the best things we've eaten. Sooo yummy. - Apple crown: flaky pastry with great Apple slices and soft texture in the middle. - we also got rustic bread & cheese for lunch. They also sell yesterday's bread half price. read more
It was quick and friendly. I couldn't have asked for a more beautifully cared-for bakery with all the beauty and deliciousness for your eyes to feast upon. Feels very French to me. everything we bought here was light and delicious. Not too heavy not too sweet. Just perfectly delicious if you're in the mood for pastries this is your new favorite spot. Come on down check it out I am quite sure you will not be disappointed. Cheers see you on Yelp 08/25/24 review #351 read more

This place has amazing products and wonderful customer service. However the way they had to deal with the abhorrent behavior of others is appalling. A customer in line made a mistake in their online order and instead of listening to the employees guidance to address the issue with the manager was expecting the employee to just hand the rude customer free product to make them feel better and kept badgering the young woman needlessly. Marina did an amazing job dealing with it but it was atrocious to see. I hope she is recognized and that customer is no longer welcomed as their behavior was appalling. Otherwise it was a wonderful store, incredible products and a lovely experience. We've been here twice in 2 days. read more

Hi Merlin,…
10:45 on a Saturday morning and they were already sold out of the almond croissant. Boo!! I "settled"' for a chocolate almond version and my taste buds were still very pleased. Flaky, buttery, filled with frangipane and a dark chocolate baton, slightly warm. It is a definite indulgence! Each time I've been, the young staff was friendly. I wish this new bakery in the Barlow all the success. read more
