Apple tech issues? Tired of shlepping an hour to Corte Madera? Look no further -- visit cafeMac in…read moreSonoma on Broadway! So I finally upgraded my iPhone from 13 mini to 17 pro mac. In the process, I took all of my family's numerous USB(A)-Lightning charging cables to my local environmentally friendly recycling center. A week later, I realized that my cordless keyboard and cordless magic mouse both still need to be charged using USB(A)-Lightning cables. Duh! Groan. I had moved to Sonoma where I discovered that there isn't an Apple store nearby. For several small issues, I've had to drive an hour to Apple Corte Madera or waited until I needed to go to SF to visit the Apple Chestnut Street location. Both tend to be crowded. I drove an hour to Apple Santa Rosa, but their staff left me underwhelmed. I couldn't find a used USB(A)-Lightning cable on FaceBook Marketplace that was near enough to me. My environmentally friendly recycle center in San Rafael (Renew) isn't open on the weekends, where they also sell a variety of used cables. ChurchMouse in Sonoma didn't sell the right type of used charging cable. So ... I drove to Apple Corte Madera, where the salesperson *ostensibly* listened to my problem and then promptly sold me the wrong charging cable. They sold me a USB(C)-Lightning cable, insisted that it was the correct solution for what I needed, never asked the year of my destop Mac (it's on their system), the year of my laptop (it's on their system), or what kind of Apple block plugs I have at home. Spoiler alert ... I now realize that they are all USB(A). Rather than drive to Corte Madera AGAIN, I wisely tried out cafeMac on Broadway in Sonoma. BINGO. The owner and staff members are super friendly and understanding. They are great with tech. They are good listeners, unlike some of the staff at Apple stores who are young, new, overly confident (and sometimes wrong), and constantly trying to sell me additional things that I simply don't need. cafeMac happily offered to exchange my "wrong" USB(C)-Lightning cable for the "right" USB(A)-Lightning cable, at no charge. I asked if they needed my receipt to show that I'd bought it directly from an Apple store just a few days prior. They didn't need to see it. Their customer-oriented attitude and friendly nature immediately put me at ease and make me want to come here for all my Apple tech problems and purchases! Their location on Broadway is excellent and street parking is easy. Kudos to owner Jim Witous and his excellent staff for such a smart idea -- providing real service to a geographic area which is not served by Apple. I am so glad to see cafeMac able to service the many Apple users in Sonoma and Napa. I was surprised when I moved here to Sonoma to discover that Apple has no store in either Sonoma or Napa and has no plans to service these areas. I'm proud to support my local stores and impressed with their service attitude. Sonoma Proud!

I came into the store today in the afternoon. I was with a young man who had bought a phone, ear…read morebuds, charger and activated his phone at that time the day before. He decided he could not use the ear buds and charger so we he went into the store and asked for a refund. He came out shortly and told me he was denied a refund. On the receipt it clearly states a refund is accepted up to 14 days from purchase. So, I went in with the unopened product with receipt and asked why no refund when it says one is offered on the receipt and on the counter. I showed it to him. No refund. Asked for a manager. No. He gave me a number to call. I called it and the PCS agent asked me to bring the phone into the store she could talk with him. She did and told him about the return policy and asked to talk with his manager. Again No. I called the corporate office and while they were very nice and took a complaint, no other help was given. The guy in the store would not give me the managers name and would not call him for me. I am not sure what to do next, but I am sure this has happened to other people. The return policy is clear and stated on the reciept and on the counter. Just beware.

(PICS INCLUDED)…read more TLDR: he took my solid state drive and won't give it back. ghosting my texts and calls since May 14th, 2024 in beginning of May 2024, i contacted (i believe his name is Charles, older fellow, i believe uses a cane) Main Street Computers to save my solid state drive that was recently damaged. Promised he was the best in the area on this service, even gloated it's his specialty. Told me to drive to his house in Sebastopol/Graton and drop the solid state off. Interaction was a little weird (social skills and ques wise) but he was confident and promised me he would be done within the week. I also gave him an external hard drive to use in case he needed more space for the recovery. Calls me two days later and says he's done. I got to his house, invited me in, and inside he handed me the invoice; however, as i was about to sign. i realized he didn't recover the files on my computer, but the 3 videos saved on the external hard drive and just slapped them into the computer... -_- I told him and he was not happy. i then realized - inside his kitchen and dining area - he had a set up of 3 cameras all around the space. one at the end of the dining area, one in the kitchen, one at the end of the living space (kind of down the hall). he exclaimed, "F*ck, Dammit", then promised me he'd do it right this time within the next couple days. the next day he calls me to return with my laptop as the solid state was encrypted. i arrived at 9:17 pm. i knocked on the door a couple times, heard some arguing upstairs so i waited on the porch. I then called him and then he said he'd come downstairs. i then hear some running, a couple second go by, and then i heard him coming down the stairs inside. He takes a brisk look at me, he looked a bit confused. out of it. he then takes 2 steps towards me and FALLS AGAINST THE WALL!!! I then thought he could've been drunk or on some something(?) I thought maybe i should go inside and pick him up, but i felt a weird energy and felt very skeptical, so i yelled through the door if he was okay. he just laid there. i then noticed the cameras outside on the porch too. this whole thing felt so on purpose. flight or flight came on so i ran back to my car. i looked behind me as i drove away and noticed a different man had ran outside, standing and watching me drive away, right where i stood. i drove to a lit gas station, gathered myself, and texted him if he was okay. he said "yes just hurt like hell." i couldn't shake off the thought that this was an attempted kidnapping or robbery. felt very much like a set up. to this day, he won't respond to any calls or texts. he also still has my solid state drive... thinking of getting the police involved. honestly i'm DEVASTED. I had very important files for my business and client's projects in that solid state. i was young when i started this business and did not know to back up files to an external. i then lost those clients, as well as all my personal files. an absolute NIGHTMARE

I dropped my laptop off with the charger for the headphone jack to be fixed and a few weeks later I was called back and told that it was fixed and ready to be picked up. I went back to the place to pick it up and the owner gave me bad news. He said that the person did not fix it at all and on top of that lost my charger! He called the person who was supposed to fix my computer and he claimed that I did not have a charger when I brought it in which was complete you know what. To redeem himself the owner didnt charge me for the time trying to fix it and let me borrow their charger as well as supposedly ordering a new one for me. Also to fix the audio problem he let me borrow a usb interface and ordered one online in which we agreed for me to buy and then trade off the stuff thats mine for the stuff thats his. In the shop, the charger had trouble charging. Turns out the charger is broken and only works for 5 seconds max on an outlet and then will not work again on the same outlet for the rest of the day. I have tried it on multiple outlets and at different houses. And to top it all the off while I still had a little bit of charge for my computer I attempted to use the supposed state of the art usb interface, (he said it costed $160, I seen the same one brand new online for an average of $60 - $70), and it didnt work!!! The owner told me he would call me in one or two weeks when he received the shipment of the charger to replace the one they lost, and the usb interface in which I was going to pay for. Well that was about 3 or 4 months ago and still waiting for him to call. Ive tried contacting them multiple times but no response! The original estimate to get my computer done was only 24 hours and it took them weeks and whenever I called they would say that they were working on it and it would be ready to be picked up the next day. Also during work hours I went to the place 2 times and nobody was there. The second time however the owner arrived there after I waited 15 minutes and was about to leave. And if you have the same luck as me, they will never answer the phone. Bottom line this is the worst business I have ever encountered in my life and I do not say that lightly. The only 2 things that I have ever written a bad review about is this place and Academy of Art University. But they got 2 stars. This place doesnt even deserve 1!!! I cant believe this place is still in business. Very unprofessional.
