Went again to Branch Line today and had such a delish Iced Mocha, Warm Pocket thingy with savory filling, and choc/oat cookie. Again, such great service from the owner, she's really such a genuine and warm person. 12/10 FOR THIS PLACE!!! read more

I love this spot! It's in a nice location, Railroad Square, right next to SMART train stop and downtown. Definitely vibe-y and thoughtfully designed. Good service. Good drinks. And some good food. All vegan!!! This is one of my go to spots! Only one complaint -- there's no seating inside, and only some small tables outside. read more

This place is very cute and service is friendly. However there is no menu and no prices, and a strawberry matcha latte ended up being $10, which is absolutely wild to me - not sure how you can run a business that way. Focaccia ($15!) flavor was very tasty, but I think it was too fresh from the oven - it needed to rest longer. Bread feels stodgy if you eat it too quickly from the oven. The texture was very fluffy but crumb structure was quite tight, no big open holes you expect in a classic focaccia. Strawberry matcha ($10!) - rich and creamy despite being plant based and not too sweet. Not a ton of strawberry flavor read more

Service was a 10/10 owner was sooooo nice and welcoming she went out of her way to get me a charger from her car. There is a bit of a wait time because there is only one barrista working other than the owner taking orders. So if you're in a hurry I wouldn't recommend coming here. My friend and I got the iced banana matcha, the banana was very subtle. It was a beautifully made drink. My friend got the cinnamon roll which was amazing, the dough itself was so soft and had a sweetness to it. I got a blueberry GF pastry it good but I wouldn't get it again just bc it was on the crunchier side. Overall loved this place and would definitely come again. read more

Omg we almost didn't try it and so glad we did. Amazing lattes (my friend got a lavender one and I got a regular one). avocado toast with greens was the best I have ever had. Amazing bread amazing toppings! We tried two gluten free pastries - a scone and a fruit pastry - and both were amazing. Scone was not too sweet and very earthy nutty and delicious. Highly recommend even if you aren't Vegan (Neither of us are vegan). Service was lovely - a bit slower to get coffees but so worth the wait - time to relax! read more

Very cute vegan/plant-based cafe right in the middle of Railroad Square. They specialize in avocado toasts, baked goods, and drinks. Loved my colorful toast and the focaccia is seriously delicious! Don't sleep on the muffins - I tried the cranberry one and it was fantastic! If you're in a hurry or need immediate attention, don't expect that here. The employees won't necessarily greet you when you come in, just flag them down when you're ready to order. Also, don't try to park for a minute and run in without paying for parking. The meter maids are quick here. I stayed 4 minutes past my expired time and returned to my car just as they were about to write me a ticket. They let me go with a warning, phew! All because I wanted to enjoy a few more bites of my muffin - oops! read more

First time here this past Monday and I'll definitely be back! I got a delicious avocado toast with greens and a hot chocolate, with the chocolate made fresh in house . Good location near historic shopping district and train line. The young man that took our order and brought us the food was very nice and sweet with wonderful personality. Great customer service! I highly recommend The Branch Line. read more

Our 2nd visit to Santa Rosa in the last 2 months, and my husband and I were excited to try The Branch Line (especially since they were closed when we tried to pop in the first go around)! Located right across from the train tracks in Santa Rosa's historic Railroad Square, this charming plant-based cafe and mercantile brightened up our morning! Our almond milk lattes were made to perfection by the owner's son Justin, and they shared that they top off their delicious espresso drinks with just a touch of coconut cream (optional of course, but highly recommended). Paired with a Vegan Apricot Vanilla Muffin & a Vegan Lemon Poppyseed Scone, we were all smiles as we sat outside enjoying a sunny morning, and watched the SMART Rail Transit pick up some morning commuters and zip by. The owner, Kim, was very gracious and welcoming. She even apologized about being understaffed that morning and their cafe not being fully set up yet with tables and chairs out front. We were totally content to wait and browse all their great merchandise on sale, even picking up a couple of cartons of Tache pistachio milk to take with us. Kim also owns another great plant-based cafe a few miles away called The Pharmacy (which we had gone to 2 days in-a-row before going to The Branch Line!). They serve rich, organic coffee by Nomadic Coffee from Oakland, CA and offer other yummy plant-based goods. Definitely a wonderful local gem, and a must-try even if you're not vegan or vegetarian! We'll be back for sure! read more

I got a coffee from this adorable little gem of a vegan coffee shop about a year ago & remember thinking it was super delish. Passing thru town again today & the cappuccino was even more divine than I remember. Also got a blueberry scone that is other worldly...it was still warm!! In a past lifetime I was a pastry chef & judge bakers by the quality of their scones b/c they can be so amazing, but also so nasty (right?!?). This one gets an A+!! Also, the barista was so sweet & welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

The folks at Branch Line are LOVELY! You can tell they are passionate about what they make and are sooo welcoming! I got a banana matcha and a strawberry muffin and they are so good! Beautiful building with wonderful people inside! read more

The Branch Line is the cutest little coffee and pastry shop in Santa Rosa! Waking in, you're immediately greeted by the cutest decor and the friendliest service! The gal who took our order was so kind and talked us through the different vegan pastries they had available. You'd never know these pastries were vegan. They were soooooo good! My husband and I got a matcha strawberry scone and a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin. Both so delicious and fresh! I also got a matcha latte with a melon flavor. They make all their syrups and my friends who got different coffee drinks were also so impressed by how delicious they were! Sometimes a place is cute and sometimes a place has great food and this place has both! A must visit in Santa Rosa. read more

Best macha in the greater Bay Area. gluten free items are delicious. beautiful people.

Food, service, ambiance all get an A+ My favourite menu item is the strawberry matcha. I've had matchas at numerous other places, and they don't hold a candle to the matchas Justin makes! Go try it!!! Highly recommend!! read more

I tried this place off a recommendation and am so glad I did! It's nestled in a corner of Downtown. Not only is the interior of the building cozy, but the focaccia was great (ALL vegan too). It's on the pricier side, but was absolutely worth it to me because the slice of focaccia is large and hearty. As well, the matcha is a good size, one of the best matches I've ever tasted and their syrups are all organic. The service there was friendly, helpful and welcoming. I am adding this place to the regular rotation of places I frequent! read more

Ok...I get it, Railroad Square blah blah blah. This place has a good vibe BUT, it needs focus. We ordered 2 decaf Americanos and it took about 15 minutes to get it. No one was ahead of us. No line, nothing. It seemed unbelievably long for 2 cups of coffee. About 8 ounces each...I say about because the barista said it might be a little short...and it was. What is this place? Coffee, scones, toast, pepper sauce (sold on site)? With A'roma about 50' away, this place needs to figure it out. Nice people, but it needs focus. I still don't know what they are doing. The coffee was good but it took so long to simply pull a couple of shots. Eesh. Good luck. Not sure I will come back. You have options. $9.00 for two almost 8 ounce coffees!? Not sure that is right. read more

Coffee with nuanced flavors and locally sourced savory goods. Close to a train station on the first floor of an old brick building is The Branch line coffee shop. Wonderful selection of muffins and tasty bagels. Their coffees are exceptional and worth a trip from the Bay area. Don't forget to ask Justin about the secret coffee menu and the black sesame latte. read more

Great coffee stop in Santa Rosa Railroad district! My wife and I both lattes: Pistachio Oat Latte and Lavender Vanilla Latte to go along with a shared Avocado Bagel. Lattes are crafted well with care and detail. I devoured the Avocado Bagel, and loved the slight spicy topping. Tucked in the corner, we'll-managed, and will be back next time! read more

This was such an amazing local gem while visiting the area. All of their syrups are made in house, coffee is local, and they even have a house made coconut milk cream. You can tell the staff really care about the food and drinks they serve. I got the muffin and a black sesame latte and both were fantastic. The place is super cute inside! Even if you aren't vegan, I strongly recommend this place. You won't tell the difference! read more

Fantastic genuine organic coffee and real organic milk. They have all plant based milks and blend your coffee drink with coconut/oat milk and love. The mocha coffee beverage is to die for. Pastries and the works avocado toast is my favorite. If we lived in town we'd visit daily. A must place if you truly enjoy good coffee. Justin is the barista and is extremely kind and enjoyable to catch up with. Thank you Kim for providing an outstanding coffee shop. read more

The most amazing latte I've ever had! They use a blend of non dairy creamers and it was deliciously creamy - I think it was the coconut cream. So so good. read more

Cute little shop. Friendly owner & staff. We've been here a few times. Husband likes his black coffee. I enjoy the lavender latte but the brown sugar latte is my favorite. The avocado toast/bagel is delicious! Piled high with avocado and micro-greens and a lil kick of chili oil (don't skip it - it's not spicy). A couple of tables outside to sit and enjoy while watching the Smart train go by. Our new favorite spot! read more

Adorable coffee shop that happens to be plant based. Beautiful tasting coffee and bagels with a small selection of grab and go salads and drinks. They also offer a variety of for sale items like plants and decor as well as packaged snacks and sauces. I love that they take Apple Pay it makes it so convenient. Lastly I must say that the staff is so sweet and always smiling. read more

This is the cutest lil spot. The owner was outside and super friendly. Such a joyful energy. The employees behind the counter were very polite and making extra fresh meals. Ordered a lavender vanilla bean latte.... It was divine! There also was a lions main, cashew cheese, tomatoes, artichoke hearts focaccia that looked superb. I didn't order one because I had already eaten. Tons of cute decor and plenty of trinkets available for purchase. There's also racks with condiments and other yummy items. Very clean and has a couple of tables outside. Loved this place! read more

Cute little coffee shop in railroad square. Everything is plant based and delicious. I got an iced latte and the bagel with vegan cream cheese and also the bagel with avocado and greens.

I love this place! Really friendly advice and amazing coffee and treats! Will be back soon

We're so happy to have a local business that curates delicious drinks with high quality ingredients! Our go to is the strawberry matcha. It's very well balanced and tastes great hot or cold. To top it off, the drinks are also beautiful! The barista is very knowledgeable and kind, we love tasting his new creations.

Haven't had their food, so maybe it's good. We were staying just down the street, and it had good reviews, so we thought we'd try. Maybe it was an "off" day, but we had the most bizarre experience. We walked in, and the place was adorable. There were 3 people standing, so we asked if they were in line. They replied that they were just waiting for their coffee. There were 2 people working behind the counter, but neither acknowledged we were even there. We figured we'd just wait till they were done with what they were doing, then they'd have us order. About 5 minutes later, one of the employees looked at the 3 people standing and said, "Is something wrong?" (No one had said anything. They had just been standing there quietly.) They replied, "we've just been waiting here a while." (I later found out they'd been there about 30 minutes.) The employee said, "Do you want me to cancel your order?" To which the person replied, "No, if I could just get it, that would be great. I just have to be somewhere." (The customer was so calm and polite the whole time.) Next thing I know as we're still standing there, the employee goes to the register and says, "I'm just going to cancel your order. I don't like your attitude." The customer was then pleading with the employee to not cancel the order. I looked at my husband, and we were both taken back. We realized in that moment that even if the food and drinks were good, we were not about to support a business that treated people the way they did. We took our business down the street to another coffee shop. I'm assuming the person behind the counter was not the business owner, but from one business owner to another, that employee is going to kill your business. They sure made sure we'd never want to come back...and the place was dead, other than the people waiting. read more

I drove all the way there during my lunch break to get coffee only to find them closed. Their hours say they're open. There is no sign on the door saying that they're closed. It's very frustrating. I don't see a number I could call either to verify. I definitely wouldn't bother driving here unless you have spare time to waste. read more

This is a sweet spot to grab some joy. Situated very close to the train depot with a lot of openness and easy parking. The shop is decorated beautifully. Was hesitant to try the lavender vanilla latte bc some places just don't do it well but glad I did. Not overwhelming at all, the balance is great. The bonus is that it's already good but the more you sipped on it, the more you enjoyed. Holden & Justin are awesome humans. They alone are worth coming back for. You're welcomed and not rushed thru your order. Precision and care is used when preparing your drink. Talk about being present. read more

This place is sooo good! This visit I had stuffed focaccia which had basil, pepperoni, cheese and sauce. It was delightful, plus they use avocado oil which is ideal for high heat. It was so good I went back and bought another one, after. The iced matcha was perfect and not over sweetened like Starbucks. Everything is always always so good here and I love that they use clean ingredients. We need more vegan places like this that are actually good for you and not just vegan because vegan doesn't always mean healthy! I believe the focaccia is available Friday to Sunday read more
