Wow!! Hands down the best pastries in Petaluma (and maybe further)…read more The selection of both sweet and savory options is out of this world. SO many croissant, muffins, bread, cake, and other pastries to choose from. You can never leave with just one (hence my order of 5 items) Coffee is also delish and the quality of all the food is top tier. Lovely customer service as well. Nice outdoor seating on a sunny day :)

They have specialty shelf stable chocolate and snacks and a display full of beautiful desserts! ** pistachio cream puff (4.5/5): unlike the more traditional choux shell, this one was laminated like croissant dough-- fun! The cream was also thick enough to not leak everywhere and didn't taste artificial. Really enjoy this one! ** strawberry and cream chiffon cake slice (3.5/5): didn't really feel like a chiffon cake or maybe it was on the drier side. It worked well with the mascarpone frosting though, which was smooth and a little too rich for me by itself. There wasn't too much strawberry besides the sweet jam layer in the middle. ** Brutta mi buoni (4/5): translated to "ugly but delicious," this craggly meringue actually caught my eye and curiosity for its looks. I'm usually not a fan of meringues, but this one was loaded with nuts and was tasty. Kind of tastes like a refined version of those Lucky Charms cereal marshallows in a good way! Happy with my little haul at Stellina Pronto! They were friendly and had a few window seats + outdoor seating. I'll probably stop by next time I'm in the area to try some new items. Definitely check them out if you're nearby!

My partner and I came in on a Tuesday evening to share a sundae! They let us pick two flavors and…read morewe opted for the crème brûlée and a toffee flavor. They have so many unique flavors to choose from! The sundae came with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and nuts. We also got a french brownie (gluten free) on the side. They warmed up the brownie for us and we broke off some pieces to mix into the sundae. I was pleasantly surprised by the brownie given that it is glute free. It was super fudgey and the texture was spot on! The ice cream was really good and we enjoyed both flavors. The interior was clean and finding a seat was not at all difficult. We will be coming back!

The choices were limited and prices too high. We wish the new owners, as of Thanksgiving 2025, the best.

Dole Whip is a well-known dessert, but in case you've been living under a rock just know it comes from a place known for Aloha and good vibes as well as from The Happiest Place on Earth. With origins like this how can you resist? For some, having a Dole Whip brings back good times, but for everyone, it is a refreshing and delicious way to cool off. Trader Jim's brings this treat to the Bay Area in what might be the cutest way possible - in a customized mobile trailer! Just take a look at photos and you'll know what I mean. This review is mainly for their catering service, which we had booked for our wedding earlier this summer. While there were a lot of things to be indecisive about in the early stages of wedding planning, this was definitely an easy decision for us and we booked early and right away. Like I said, how can you resist the idea of this at an outdoor summer wedding? It's even cool with the vegan crowd! We worked with Lauren for the booking and details and it was a fantastic experience. She was easy to work with and the communication along the way was good and clear. They were very flexible with our timing and schedule needs, which is an extremely valuable thing when it comes the the logistical nightmare that weddings can become. So come the big day, everything went smoothly in terms of them arriving on time and setting up. It looked amazing, tasted heavenly, and they handled the swarm of eager wedding guests with fast but friendly service! We could not have asked for a better finish to our special evening!

If you're craving Pineapple Dole Whip like at Disneyland then go on to Trader Jim's website and…read morefind out where they will be because their pineapple soft serve will have you thinking that you're eating it at Disneyland! On this particular Saturday my friend used his handy dandy Yelp app to find something in Petaluma for some sort of dessert and Trader Jim's popped up as being at the Farmer's Market at Walnut Park on the west side of Petaluma so we decided to go. We started strolling by all the different stands and offerings and then there it was the Trader Jim's Tiki trailer. We couldn't wait to get a taste of their pineapple whip! I had the pineapple float which was the pineapple whip in a cup with pineapple juice. Talk about delicious!!! And the price was right! Don't forget there is no need to travel to Southern California when you have a hankering for that delicious pineapple whip as you need not look any further than your own backyard and Trader Jim's Tiki Trailer. Head to their website and find out when and where they will be next (hint, hint, they frequent The Barlow in Sebastopol quite a bit!).

Seriously, you might think pie is pie, but no, there's pie, and then there's pie from Petaluma Pie Company. Friendly employee and clean area outside the shop is well. So that's good. My only complaint is the eco-friendly fork they provide is absolutely awful. Not sure if it's a Petaluma requirement but real plastic forks would be much appreciated. Regardless, this place is a must-try!

I Spy With My Little Pie…read more This farm-to-table, locally-owned pie shop has been serving up both sweet and savory pie creations in Downtown Petaluma since 2010. They recently underwent an ownership change in 2024 from the OGs, but fortunately, instead of selling to a corporation, they sold it to an employee and his mother to help ensure the original ethos and quality remain intact. The Good: * Their pies are made with locally-sourced and organic ingredients bought from the local farmers market--as well as some fruit that they grow themselves! * Outdoor dog-friendly seating * As mentioned above, they have both sweet and savory pies. We only tried the sweet *oink oink* * Friendly service * Love that they have both full sized pies and smaller ones, so you don't have to commit to a big ol' pie. * We tried their Elvis (PB, banana, and chocolate) and their Black & Blue Crumble and they were both fabulous! I leaned a bit more to the B&B, as I absolutely adored that granola crumble on top, but the Elvis was no slouch either. The Meh: * Interior is small and very cramped. Definitely a grab-and-go type operation. The Ugly: * Parking in DT Petaluma can be a hassle, as it's street parking only, but at least it's free. Conclusion: Fantastic spot to scratch that 3.14 itch--and I'm always itchy!

Will start by saying that the bakery items and snack selections here are exceptionally good…read more While the service is efficient, It's still confusing where to stand if you want coffee, if you don't want coffee, and where to stand while you wait. Yes, there are two red ropes indicating where to stand if there's a big line but it's some distance away from the counter and if you want to check out the selection before you get there, you really can't. I got a plain croissant with butter and it cost nearly 7 dollars. For a single croissant. And it wasn't even very large. Read: ridiculously overpriced. Not only that, the server never cracked a smile and honestly appeared that she wanted to be working somewhere else. Bottom line: if you've got plenty of money to throw in at a few yummy bakery items, go for it. The bread loaves here are probably the most reasonably priced.
