    Apple + Cranberry Strudel
    Ashlyn R.

    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.

    Bacon and cheddar
    Alison T.

    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.

    Bacon, Cheddar, Potato Strudel: It's so damn good, it will spark joy in you!

    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.

    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!

    A nice variety of strudel, both savory and sweet, with a flaky pastry. A charming, rustic seating area and friendly service make it a nice place to visit.

    The cup was so cool, recycled and used again this morning.

    Adorable place. Love the Jimi Hendricks playing and the pretty lady serving up the food. My Meyer Lemon Strudel was out of this world. And my coffee was the best I've ever had. My coffee cup had a hand stamp on the cup! So special. Will be coming again.

    My husband and I saw this cute place as we drove by and decided to stop. To be honest I don't really know what strudel is, but it's delicious. I highly recommend. Super savory and warm. We got the bacon cheddar and it was awesome. There is also lovely customer service!!

    Awesome spot stopped by not knowing what to expect on support small local businesses day and found a hidden gem great coffee but the bacon cheddar strudel was to die for.

It imparted a nice fragrance with no bitter notes. We also shared a canelé which featured that delectable caramel crust with the perfect custardy center, it's so hard to make and yet Sarmentine just kept them coming! The only part of our meal that was a bit meh were the drinks. My mocha was certain milk forward which probably ended up masking the espresso and chocolate. The matcha latte boyfriend had was generous on matcha powder but it didn't quite have the same body as others tried lately. Still, when you're on your way to the vineyards from Santa Rosa, this is a great little stop to pick up some food to go!

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.

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.

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.
