    The BEST plant based, fresh cinnamon roll l've EVER had! Soft and not too sweet. l had to buy two more to bring home to my mom and my husband l was so impressed.They have an assortment of pastries that also look amazing, next time l'll try a scone or muffin. l live over an hour away but l will be back as soon as l can! Highly recommend!

    Focaccia muffin, yummy lil savory treat

    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.

    Focaccia
    Tasha H.

    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

    First time here, ordered the Strawberry matcha and it was delicious! Service was great, cute little shop.

    Banana matcha, cinnamon roll, blueberry GF pastry

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Avocado Toast with Greens  fermented amazing toast, avocado, harissa, arugula and micro greens topped with EVOO. Simply amazing!
    Deborah M.

    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!

    A pair of perfect almond milk lattes, lemon poppyseed scone & apricot vanilla muffin (all vegan!)
    Giselle M.

    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!

    Blueberry scone & cappuccino
    Kimi B.

    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!

    Avocado toast
    Melissa S.

    Needed a quick coffee and snack and have been wanting to check this place out. Very cute and clean inside. I believe I got a black sesame latte and it was really good. Great avocado toast, stacked with avocado and greens on delicious bread. Nice friendly service.

    Is it only open till 2pm?

    It's best to go there early so they don't sell out your favorite pastry. My favorite is their chocolate cake which they don't always serve.

The acovado toast could use some more pizzaz... its literally just avocado and seasoning and the creme brulee latte was a bit bland under the torched sweetness on top. This place has much potential but definitely felt overpriced for the items I received. Service was extremely friendly and fast (I came in at 6am). Thank you Crooks!

The menu is great, lots of food options from bagels, toast English muffins, avocado toast, Brie & fig toast, peanut butter, toast, and grilled cheese sandwich sandwiches. Well, in addition to muffins, croissant cookies, scones a nice drink, selection, and winter drink specials. I ordered the blueberry scone (so delicious, def a new FAV) and it's from Costex bakery in Healdsburg. I ordered a cappuccino, I received a latte. Little disappointing, but I didn't complain, it was definitely a good latte. I was looking forward to a nice foamy cappuccino. No biggie. I definitely recommend anyone to check them out. Especially if you're hungry.

Brew is a colorful cafe right on the corner of B…read moreSt and Healdsburg Ave. It has cute outdoor seating with umbrellas and plenty of chairs and tables inside without feeling cramped. It's got bar seating too! There's also some board games if you want something to play with friends over drinks. Ordered a 12oz matcha latte with almond milk ($7) and opted to have it unsweetened. Overall smooth but not too strong, and a tiny bit sweet probably from whatever almond milk they use! I like mine a bit stronger and it's not the best I've had but decent! "For here" mugs are always a plus in my book too. Brew is unique that it doubles as a cozy bar too once the late afternoon rolls around. They've got interesting events happening throughout the month posted on their sign. Some of their food and pastries are sourced from local Red Bird Bakery and Village Bakery too if you're hungry! Parking might suck, you could find street parking maybe on 8th St or if you're early you could park by the meters for free before 9AM. There's a $1/hr parking garage right nearby but if there's nothing, best to park at SR Plaza for free and make the 5min walk over. I really like the vibes of Brew and wanna come back for a happy hour one day! It's nice to see a very queer friendly cafe/bar rolled into one!

They are very forward about their fierce advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights with rainbow flags everywhere. I am here for it! Let's talk about the food and drinks! First, I come here semi-regularly and I am a huge fan of their breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich! My other favorite food item is not on their regular menu anymore, but I LOVE when they do their baked oatmeal. Their coffee is great here, which is from Ritual Roaster in San Francisco. If you come here in the Fall, their seasonal Pumpkin Latte is my favorite Pumpkin Spice latte in the area. So good! They also have a great selection of locally brewed beers, but I've never actually come here at any other time besides morning. They host lots of fun events and have live music and trivia nights. A true, community establishment! The service is friendly. They know their regulars and they are knowledgeable about their food and drinks. I like the inside cafe, but I almost always sit outside in their large, parklet. This parklet was established during Covid times, and for awhile it was taken down, but thankfully it's back! If you haven't checked out Brew then you definitely should! Come and support them and their progressive causes!
