Strudel me crazy but I love this place! The first time I tasted their strudel was during the Wednesday Night Farmer's Market on 2nd Street near next to theater square. I was leaving a restaurant & walked right smack dab in the middle of the farmer's market. After drooling, I mean looking at the various flavors that Simply Strudels had to offer I ended up buying a whole vanilla bean strudel mainly because the person selling the strudels said that it can be kept in the freezer until ready to serve whether it be whole or just slicing a piece off to defrost & eat. I took my first bite & was sold, hook, line & strudel, I mean sinker! I had seen over the years that Simply Strudels had opened a store front but never had the opportunity to stop by as their hours of operation conflicted with work. But one fine early morning I happened to be driving on Petaluma Blvd., South & noticed the open sign & thought to myself "self, you haven't had breakfast so stop in & get some strudel." So glad I listened to myself! So on this particular day I opted to buy 2 savory portions (1 for that morning & 1 for the next day. Bacon, cheddar & potato and garlic, spinach potato) as well as one sweet portion (fresh meyer lemon cheese strudel). OMG TOO DIE FOR!!! The savory strudels were perfection, I mean I could eat those every day for breakfast! I that fresh meyer lemon cheese strudel was Heaven on a plate, so fresh, crisp & lemony! The place is not overly huge, there are places to sit & eat. They have various savory & sweet strudels for sale as full logs or a portion. Some may think the prices are high but you're getting a handmade strudel that's made with all fresh ingredients & you don't have to stand in the kitchen & make it, someone else has done the work for you. I think it's worth it! They also have a coffee menu so you can get a regular old coffee, espresso, latte, etc. Oh & if you're so incline you can order online for pick up in their store front or order via DoorDash for pick up in their store or for delivery. Though now that I think of it, that delivery feature can be quite dangerous for me! read more

A great little spot to grab a coffee, listen to some chill tunes & relax. Was needing a cappuccino to start my day and strolled over to give this spot a try. Stepped in on a Saturday morning and it was empty and quiet. There were some delicious looking baked goods, but wasn't ready for a bite. Had a seat in one of the comfy chairs, while I waited for my cappuccino. They brought my capp to me. Nice! Cappuccino was perfect and I stayed longer than I expected because I enjoyed the atmosphere. read more

Tasty Latte It was very late in the day on a Saturday when we stopped here for the first time. The place was almost closed. We needed caffeine and a restroom! Sadly, the restroom was not available for customers, but the gentleman who was there was very friendly and made awesome coffee drinks. We grabbed our coffee drinks and jumped back in the car looking for a restroom, but I must say the latte was very good and I enjoyed it after the emergency situation was addressed. The place looks nice and has pleasant interior. Maybe next time I am around I stop by for more than a latte. read more

This place is literally the best place ever no exaggeration! The vibe is really chill and relaxing. You walk in and you're greeted with a very warm welcome. The owner is super nice with great staff! Someone brought out my order to me which was nice. Some strudels run out pretty fast because they're just that good. I would recommend getting there early or stopping by in the afternoon. You will have to find off street parking which isn't a major issue I was able to park in a neighborhood right next door to the establishment. I tried the Apple Cranberry Strudel along with a latte. The Strudels are hand rolled fresh so not a long wait at all. This coffee tastes better than Starbucks and the local favorite Acre in my opinion. I also met two amazing locals while enjoying my strudel and latte. Petaluma is filled with amazing people who very welcoming and friendly. I can't wait to come back and visit. read more

We saw this place opened up recently and randomly decided to check it out, and were so glad we did! Never having had strudels before, we had no idea what to expect so we ordered a couple ready-to-eat strudels: one sweet, the vanilla cheese, and one savory, the bacon cheddar potato. The bacon cheddar potato was warm with super flaky, almost glass-like crust, filled with cheesy, bacony, garlicky potatoes - so good! The vanilla cheese was served cold. The filling reminded me of a cheesecake filling - super smooth, hints of vanilla, not too sweet, and a little tangy. This one is my favorite! On top of the delicious strudels, the staff were warm, inviting, and super friendly, taking time to answer all of our dumb, newbie strudel questions - a shining example of a locally owned business. We highly recommend you check it out! read more

Yum! I came in today and got the bacon cheddar and a vanilla chai and both were delicious. The service was also very fast and friendly. They're most famous flavor is the vanilla bean and I can tell you from a previous visit that it is soooo good. Today's lunch special was pork and sweet potato but it was too early for me to try that one out. My only complaint was the seating. There is one large community table but it is a high top and the chairs are very high. I am vertically challenged and they don't look comfortable enough to sit and work at which is what I needed. I think they would do better business if they did hanging shelves I stead of the bookcase and added small 2 person tables instead. I shared the feedback but this is just my preference and not a complaint. I really enjoy this local business and forward to going back again soon. read more

OMS, meaning Oh My Strudel! So good.... As a good friend of mine would say "Slap your mama good!" We had the bacon, cheddar and potato strudel. My only regret is that we only got half. Get the whole thing. Cherish it. How often do you get such a treat?! I actually exclaimed out loud when I tasted its light, flaky awesomeness. It might even bring a tear to your eye. The owner, Jaret was very gracious and friendly. They serve Petaluma Roasters coffee which keeps the Ptown love local and it is a really cozy place. I'm a fan! Can't wait to try the Meyer Lemon, next time. read more

Best strudel restaurant I've ever been to. Only, if I'm being honest - but it's quite good. The owner is friendly, hand-makes everything with fresh ingredients and obvious passion for the strudels he's making. Simple menu with a nice variety of hot savory and chilled sweet strudels. The Bacon Cheddar Potato streusel was tasty and filling, and the Vanilla Bean Cheese streusel filling was a lot like fresh cannoli. The small dining area is cozy and welcoming. It's reminiscent of a small coffee shop, and indeed they do have a coffee menu too. Come out and support a local business and have some good strudel! read more

After driving by this little shop for quite a while, our curiosity got the best of us (and we were hungry!) so we gave it a try. So glad we did! Simply Strudels will be added to our "great places in Petaluma " list. I ordered a latte and it was lovely, creamy foam and smooth delicious coffee. We ordered 2 slices of strudel to share, a bacon cheddar and a potato spinach. The generous slices were crispy and flaky on the outside with delicious fillings inside. My favorite was the bacon cheddar! We decided to get a sweet strudel to take home to the family. We chose a Meyer lemon, cheese. Sooo delicious! They have several types of strudel on their menu, it may take some time but gonna try them all!!! read more

Original vanilla strudel = orga$m in your mouth. Flaky phyllo dough plus what tastes like some sort of vanilla cream cheese but frozen? Like ice cream. Then I tried the bacon cheese one and holy strudel. I accidentally ate mine in reverse, so here's a tip: get the bacon cheese strudel with a latte, then eat the vanilla strudel as breakfast or lunch "dessert", either there at the cute location or take the vanilla one home. Yum yum get in my belly! read more

What an adorable little coffee shop! It's at the corner of H and the Boulevard. Very easy to get parking (unlike downtown), so that's a huge bonus! It's a block from a park ( in case you want to grab coffee, strudel and enjoy it there) I came in today for some strudel to go and I was so pleased! I got the apple, cranberry and cheese one---it was amazing. Crisp, lightly sweet flakey layers enveloping cinnamony apples, sweet cream cheese and pops of tangy cranberry. Incredible! I see why they won medals at the harvest fair. My husband loved the bacon, cheese, potato strudel! Can't wait to go back and try their other strudels (bacon, cheese, potato; mushroom tarragon; vanilla bean cheese and a few others). You can buy a piece or a whole log. They also have coffee drinks and other desserts (from Red Bird Bakery in Santa Rosa). There are some places to sit and relax as well. Really nice place! read more

This place makes the best strudels. They are like a cheesecake filling with the fillo dough crust. My favorites are chocolate chocolate peanut butter and Meyer lemon. When they are close, you can pick them up across the street at Charlies's deli. The owner, Jared, is very cool. He's taking his father's recipe and continuing the family tradition of awesome food.

Sadly I have to rain on their parade for now. We bought their chocolate cream cheese strudel from the farmers market and it was great so now they've opened a retail space we were stoked. Sadly it was not to be. We started with a savory bacon and cheese portion, and a mushroom tarragon. They were OK and I liked the mushroom best - what spoiled things was the bacon and cheese was an end cut so basically all pastry and no filling. The portion sizes were too small for $8 too (given no side salad or anything). So on to the sweet strudel (a more reasonable $5). The lemon filling sounded great but it was borderline inedible - it was incredibly bitter (like it was made without sugar and using the peel mostly), and not pleasant at all. We would have taken it back if the front desk wasn't busy and we didn't want to poison the well of a new business. We put this lunch goes down to teething problems for now. Bottom line is this one was not a good experience. Hope things improve. read more

I stop in for the savory pastries as snacks often, but most recently I dropped in for a couple of sweet treats to take to a friend's house for dinner. We had Strawberry and Rhubarb tart and a couple of mini-bundt chocolate cakes. Both were a hit! Great bakery! Give them a shot!

It has a kind of odd location in a warehouse building north of Railroad Square. I actually miss their old location near Julliard Park, but this location probably works better for their business. One of the main reasons I come here is their abundance of gluten free pastries. I try to avoid eating a lot of gluten as I don't feel great after eating it. They even make a few vegan gluten free options if you can't have dairy as well. They also have great savory bowls and breakfast burritos. On my most recent visit we ordered a breakfast veggie burrito and it was delicious! Lots of fresh cooked veggies! I recommend grabbing a packet of cholula hot sauce and putting it on the burrito! I also want to add a shout out to the Warrior Bowl! Delicious and healthy, although I don't get it at this last visit. I typically grab a gluten free muffin or scone. It's really hard to fine good gluten free pastries, but these are really good. On my last visit, I got a non-gluten free pastry and tried their cinnamon roll and an Ube Kite, which was a limited time special. The cinnamon roll was a bit dry, but these Ube kite was very good! Another thing I really like to get at Criminal is their pie. You can order whole ones or just get slices. They are excellent! The service is typically really great here! The only thing I don't love is the indoor dining area, which just feels a bit weird. Get a table outside or walk to a bench in the nearby park.

This business continued to be a family go-to for excellent pastries as well as celebratory cakes and desserts.

Red Bird is our neighborhood bakery. We frequent this popular spot at least once a week. One thing…read moreto 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!

Pros: The staff is extremely friendly and the interior of the shop is heavily decorated so much…read morepink! The decorations are adorable and make the place look livelier. I usually buy the raspberry cake slice, the macarons, and Whoopie Cookies. I've purchased the cruffles and the macarons as gifts for my friends, and they're always adorned in a cute box with a ribbon bow. There are also gluten-free cupcakes available. They've never disappointed me and I often walk out of the store with a smile and my sweet tooth satisfied. Cons: Street parking can be tricky during busier times. However, it's about a 5 minute walk away from the Santa Rosa Plaza Mall. The cake slices and cupcakes lay on the buttercream pretty thick, which can get overly sweet. Overall: I had been going to Sift Dessert Bar since 2015, and when it closed in 2024, I was surprised to find that the location for the original Santa Rosa store is now owned by a former manager of Sift Dessert Bar! If you missed Sift Dessert Bar, you'll definitely love Blondie's Bakery Boutique. The colorful interior and sweet treats make this shop a must-visit. While I have ordered a cake from Sift Dessert Bar, I have not done so for Blondie's Bakery Boutique.
