I didn't realize I had been here before , almost 10 years ago!! Time for an update :) When you walk into The Parish Cafe, it's immediately warm, inviting and has really good vibes. There's plenty of seating inside and outside, including a wraparound porch and larger tables for groups. I came for a Yelp event and tried the Street Car Special. I got the blackened catfish po' boy with jambalaya, plus beignets and a grapefruit mimosa. Everything was A+!! The beignets were hot, fluffy and basically melted in your mouth. The po' boy was SO good, and the jambalaya was a flavor party in my mouth. I could eat an entire bowl of that alone and be happy lol. Healdsburg is such a charming town, and The Parish Cafe fits right in. Great food, amazing service and just genuinely good vibes all around. I'll definitely be back with my husband and friends!! read more

FEB2026 Still solid for brunch. We were able to grab a seat as it wasn't too busy inside. Sounded like they were having a party outside at the time. We decided to try a few different things since before. I went with the houma hash, my partner ruffino's special, and of course some beignets on the side. The food was good. The houma hash was a good mix between the sausage, bell peppers and carbs making for interesting bites throughout. A spoon for scooping things would've done wonders considering how things were cut though. My partner really liked the special. Potatoes were nice and crunchy, everything cooked well for the sandwich. I really liked the dressing for the sandwich that they added really brought things together for it. And of course, the beignets were warm and delish when they hit the table. They disappeared nice and quick. We'll be back through sometime to try more things for sure. read more

This is a cute little Cajun place with indoor and outdoor seating. It gets crowded for dinner so good idea to make reservations . The food was excellent. The poorboy was so filling I could only eat half. The potatoes were seasoned with a Cajun seasoning and very good. My son had a Crawfish Benedict and he said it was very good. The Bloody Mary was spicy and delicious. The had Beignets that I really wanted to try but the servings were so big. I was too full. I definitely wanna go back and try some of the other things on the menu which I've never had. read more

You walk in to what appears to have been a house once ago. A nice down home hearty feel with limited seating. I ordered a Bloody Mary (heavy on the horseradish though) and the shrimp and grits. The shrimp was visibly seasoned but under delivered on the flavor front. The grits had what seemed to be a vanilla flavor to them... not my favorite. I was hoping for a more savory front with the dish. Service was great and I'd definitely be interested in coming back to try other menus throughout the day. The beignets looked tasty though I did not partake myself! I got the cold brew chicory coffee to end. I think the chicory gave it what I would describe as a whiskey flavor (perhaps the "woodiness"), and while I'm by no means a whiskey fan, the cold brew was a nice finish to the meal. Overall I'd go around a 3.5. read more

Full disclosure -- we went for brunch, and I didn't order anything particularly Cajun or Creole, so honestly, what I had could have been ordered at other places. So I'm neither raving nor am I critiquing! I enjoyed my poached eggs and, in particular, my grits -- but they're pretty standard fare. I did, however, love the andouille sausage. Someone else got an omelet -- again, fine -- another had the hash and enjoyed it. We all had coffee (without chicory) and it was good. Given the other really positive reviews, I think I'd like to return for lunch or dinner and really dive into the more New Orleans-type flavors which I tend to associate with those meals more than breakfast. read more

We stopped by The Parish Cafe to enjoy our favorite--Red Beans & Rice with smoked bacon end, andouille sausage, and a side of Camellia brand red beans. The plate also came with a delicious andouille link. The Perfect comfort food. The cafe is super cute and bustling with activity. The service was wonderful and quick, making our experience even better. We loved the Christmas decor--so festive and charming. read more

Cute little place. There's a bar, and outdoor seating. We had a roast beef sandwich. We split it. It was delicious. The roll wasn't hard or dry! Everything was FRESH and DELICIOUS! It had a yummy slaw in it. We saw some delicious pastries being served! They have a big wine list (duh) It's casual and comfortable. read more

Cute spot for brunch, definitely has that New Orleans flavor! Easy to make reservations and has its own little parking lot. We got there a little early and was seated quickly. Friendly service, definitely seemed busy! We got a bunch of things to share between the 2 of us and everything was great! I lean more towards savory brunch, so the shrimp and grits / jambalaya were perfectly spiced for me. The bananas Foster were a little sweet for me personally but my bf loved them! The beignets were also super light and pillow-y. Worth a visit if you're into New Orleans food! read more

We stopped by for Sunday brunch with the family. We made a reservation since we had a large group. They sat us out by the back porch which was heated so even if it was raining, we were comfortable . We ordered a variety of things from gumbo to fried gator and beignets and bananas foster pan de pardue to share. For my personal order, I had the oyster po boy (regular - there is a king size that would be too big). The portions of the sandwiches are huge! I could not finish it. Bread was nice, soft and fluffy inside and crunchy on the outside. Oysters were not overly breaded and fried crispy. Overall, food is good - friendly staff who checked in occasionally and nice place to dine if you are in the area. read more

Came to Parish Café for brunch and was genuinely impressed. The food is amazing! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and friendly, and we were seated quickly. A great start made even better when they surprised us with beignets on the house, they were light, fluffy, and absolutely delicious! I ordered the shrimp and grits, and it was so good! I've seen some reviews mention the dish being a bit runny due to the tomato sauce, but I actually thought the sauce added a really nice flavor. I didn't mix everything together, and it wasn't runny at all, it was just rich and satisfying. My friend had the Houma Hash and said the grits were amazing too! The rest of my group loved their meals too with lots of praise all around. Definitely a spot I'd return to if I'm in the area again. Highly recommend for a delicious, welcoming brunch experience. read more

Finally made it to this spot because I heard they had beignets. We came at 3pm Friday and no one was there. We were greeted by hostess/server (Cynthia) and sat right away. The place gave that eating at home vibe for sure. Hubby decided to order everything from the happy hour special to try everything and did not disappoint. Only thing we didn't get was the gumbo. We also ordered crawfish Étouffée and shrimp & grits which were both recommended by the server. We've never had either before. Shrimp & grits were real good and so was the beignet of course. Hubby enjoyed the fried pickles, gator tots, fries, and the Étouffée. I really liked the jambalaya also. We left there happy and very full. read more

Came in for breakfast with a group of six and I can honestly say Parish Cafe is worth the hype! The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, the coffee is great, and their beignets are to die for! For breakfast I had the Houma Hash. This was a very balanced pre-wine meal opt with a perfect amount of carbs and protein. The food was good but what really sold me here is the service. Our server Sophia was the highlight of our visit. Shes fun, friendly, attentive and juggled a busy morning/section with ease. Our group felt taken care of and we all enjoyed our meals and beignets. Overall I give Parish Cafe a 10/10. This is a perfect spot for breakfast or brunch in Healdsburg we'll definitely be back, I need to try the brunch and dinner menu next! read more

Food was okay, but not over the top. Service was very slow. Their fried pickles are very good though! The wait staff was friendly and checked on us several times but the kitchen must have been backed up or not enough staff. I haven't been in a restaurant that was that slow in a long time! read more

I had a day off and decided to visit The Parish Cafe for a (latr for me) breakfast. Everything on the menus sounded delicious. I settled on the Crawfish Benedict. Service was friendly and attentive, coffee hot and good, food beautiful and tasty. I was alone so I sat at the bar and enjoyed watching the cook staff so their thing, while reading the news. Great overall experience. read more

I was really disappointed. I love Cajun & Creole food but this place just didn't meet the mark. I went for dinner--and was excited that they finally would be staying open past lunch--I've always enjoyed their breakfasts and lunches--but whichever purely New Orleans dish I ordered that evening was bland and flat. Also, the dishes & silverware weren't as clean as they should have been. I feel bad because it seems like the new owners are really excited to make this place work so I wish them luck moving forward. I just don't think I'll be going back. read more

I made a reservation about two hours before, on a Sunday, and we got sat very fast upon arrival. We ordered beignets, coffee, and two of the daily specials (sandwich with pulled pork, aioli, lettuce & tomato). The pulled pork ended up being pork belly slices, which were yummy but I wish that it was pulled pork. The food was delicious, and I would come here again if I was in the area! read more

I went today and I had the fried chicken sandwich and it was one of the best things I have ever had

What a wonderful little restaurant that serves creole food! It's a cute environment with fun decor. The service was exceptional. Friendly, efficient, helpful but not intrusive. We had two individuals serving us. One made a recommendation per my request and it turned out delicious. The food was great. My friend got the seafood platter which was tasty but it could have been presented in a more appealing way. The hush puppies were delicious! I got the jambalaya. It was a huge tasty serving. I took leftovers home. After our meal we ordered beignets. Powder sugary puffy soft deliciousness! Almost as delicious as Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans! It's a small cafe but it has indoor and outdoor seating. There's plenty of parking in the parking lot. I highly recommend The Parish Cafe. read more

Out of our party of 5, 3 of us liked the Houma hash we ordered, the other 2 did not like their orders. It may have been the large amount of grits on the dish that did not have any flavor. Or that the server kept getting the order wrong. It started out that we could not order off the brunch menu. What??? We were there for brunch, so confusing. After reading the reviews for this cafe we were all excited to go but we were kind of disappointed in the ambience as well. Underwhelmed is how I felt. I did order a side of beignets and they were good. Just so so in general. read more

We were looking for a breakfast place with eggs benedict and saw this place with beignets, so had to try it! It has a large parking lot so we didn't have to do street parking.

The flavors were perfect and not too spicy. We are so happy to have found this place, and will return to try other items! A++++! read more

Wonderful food, great service and beignets!!!! Would recommend to anyone who loves brunch and beignets.

The Parish is only open for breakfast and lunch with occasional special dinners. It had been in my list to try in Healdsburg for a few years, but walkins are tough with a long wait. We booked a 1:30 Sunday brunch in December and really enjoyed it. We opted to sit outside and while it wasn't cold, there's not much of a view on the back porch in winter. Looks like they have picnic tables near the street in warmer weather, I started with a Bloody Mary which was spicy but not too boozy. Husband had a mimosa which he enjoyed. Both $12 each. I had the shrimp and grits which were delicious ($20). The grits were buttery and light, creole tomato sauce was spicy but not overpowering, and got about 6 good sized gulf shrimp with Cajun spices. I added a poached egg for $2 which wasn't necessary. Yum! Husband had the Houma Hash which was more like a scramble with spinach, potatos, bell peppers, sunny side up egg, and andouille sausage ($17). He liked it and it was filling, but would probably order something different next time. Finished with the beignets which were served 3 to a plate with nice powdered sugared ($8). Just as good as New Orleans! Service was friendly but they were closing up around 2:30 so we couldn't linger too long. We will definitely be back. read more

Came back today 6/28/26 after a hiatus, the food and service was perfect today. Biegnets were cooked perfectly, jambalaya was flavorful with a hint of spice. I haven't been back since it is a journey to get here. Previous trips ended in disappointment which contributed in not coming back but its gaining my trust again. Will make the 2 hours drive back in th near future again! Thanks again for the delicious food lets keep it consistent now. read more

Well it has taken me 14 years but I finally at lunch the Parish Cafe today. I ordered the "1/2 and 1/2" oyster and shrimp po'boy. This sandwich was a 10 out of 10. Everything about it was perfect. Just the right amount of everything. Still hot. Oysters and shrimp both very flavorful and perfectly cooked. And the french roll, courtesy of Costeaux French Bakery was a perfect match. Very fresh and just the right of resistance so you didn't squish all the ingredients out just to bite through it, but it still had a nice chewy texture. And the really tasty Bloody Mary paired with it nicely. I'm a critical old bastard but I love being favorably impressed. I will get my butt back to Parish in way less than another 14 years! read more

The Parish Cafe - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Healdsburg, California

I love going someplace I haven't visited before and finding a gem like this! I was in Healdsburg to play Sax with a new band that I just started working with occasionally and this place was in the same "parking lot" as the club I was gigging at, so it was a natural to drop in on Saturday afternoon around lunch. It's in an old house converted into a restaurant and the place was packed! Charming atmosphere, servers and kitchen staff bustling around at their jobs, people enjoying a great time and great food...it was well worth the 1/2 hour wait to get in. Almost the entire band joined us, along with their significant others...we were seated at a classic wooden picnic table on the back patio shaded by a large umbrella. Our server, Malisa, greeted us as soon as we sat down and got us drinks right away. She was a stellar waitperson...super sweet and on top of anything that we needed without being overbearing. Just FYI...I've spent a LOT of time in N'Awlins and around the bayou. I'm very familiar with this style of food. What a welcome treat to see Abita Amber Lager ($5) (12 oz) on the drink menu...classic Louisiana beer...super refreshing! Of course, that was my choice. A large 1 Liter carafe of Bloody Mary's ($45) were also ordered (also available for $12 for an 8 oz glass)...I'm not a tomato juice fan, so I didn't partake, but those that did raved about them. Had to start with their Beignets ($8) [Lightly fried French Pastry topped with powdered sugar, 3 per order] WOW!! It had been quite a while since I've had REAL Beignets and these were as authentic as it gets! Pillowy, soft, with the right texture and covered with a generous dusting of powdered sugar that left a sugar mustache on your lips with every bite. Followed that with Fried Pickles ($6) A nice sized dish/bowl filled with flavorful bites...crispy texture, just the right amount of batter as to not overwhelm the thin rounds of delicious pickles, with an out of this world, authentic remoulade sauce for dipping. Tried a slice of their Fried Green Tomatoes ($8) that the keyboard player ordered. 6 large slices...again, crispy texture, just the right amount of batter as to not overwhelm the delicious, tart tomatoes, also accompanied by that out of this world, authentic remoulade sauce for dipping. SO many tempting choices for my main course...I would've been happy with any of them...but, I decided to go with one of my benchmark dishes for any Cajun/Creole place I visit: Gumbo ($8 for a cup/$15 for a bowl) [Chicken, Andouille, Okra] I ordered the bowl... Again...WOW!! You could tell that it was made with an authentic, hand made roux...there's no faking that texture. The proteins and vegetables were cooked perfectly...succulent chicken, snappy andouille...and the okra was treated the way it's supposed to be...just the tiniest bit of the inherent viscosity that makes it such a taste treat. Accompanied by a generous serving of rice heaped in a straight line down the middle of the bowl and a crispy piece of toasted French bread on the side... I couldn't have been happier! I also got to enjoy half of my dining companion's order! Their Saturday special: Smoked Brisket Po'Boy ($20) [The New Orleans classic on our custom French Bread from Costeaux Bakery] [All Po'Boys come dressed: mayonnaise, shredded lettuce, tomato and pickle] What a behemoth of a sandwich...that's why I wound up with half of it! Super tender meat, with just the right amount of smoke on it and seasoned just right...I said it before and I'll say it again...it doesn't get more authentic than this! Next time I get to this area, I'm trying more of their menu offerings...I gotta get to their Jambalya...and Muffaletta...and Red Beans and Rice...and Shrimp and Grits...and Fried Oysters...and Hush Puppies...and Fried Shrimp...and Blackened or Fried Catfish...and they even have Zapp's Kettle Chips and...and...and...LOL... Take the time to try this place next time you're in this area...you'll be as content and impressed as I was... read more

So fun to be able to eat food from New Orleans! When I visit a new town aí always seek out a cuisine I can't easily get back home and this place was an obvious choice. We came for a late breakfast/early lunch. Restaurant is in an old house with some character. Staff was friendly. The beignets were a must and they were piping hot. The chicory coffee was good but the latte was too much milk - drank some and had to add some black coffee. Coffee needed to be stronger. Husband had a bloody Mary that was pretty good. The gumbo was delicious! I only got a cup and my husband and I gobbled it up. Complex, savory, comforting. We also had the fried green tomatoes - those were just okay. Felt a little under fried. The fried chicken Benedict was perfect. When we cut into the chicken it was soooo juicy. Hope to be back next time I'm in Healdsburg! read more

This restaurant is very cozy with food as clove as you can get to New Orleans and offers outdoor seating as well

Came for breakfast on a Saturday morning and had the blue crab Benedict and a bloody Mary. The crab Benedict was delicious and had plenty of crab. Each poached egg was sitting on a small piece of toasted baguette with crab and hollandaise sauce. It would've been nice to have a little side potatoes or something, but there was nothing else on the plate. The venue is lovely and it was wonderful sitting outdoors. The customer service was excellent. read more

Stopped in for lunch and this experience hit it out of the park! There was a shrimp and fried oyster po-boy that my husband loved and I had a cup of gumbo soup. It was amazing! All homemade and full of flavor. The treat of all treats were the binettes though! Melt in your mouth and not too sweet! I will need these again before we leave! read more

The Parish Cafe is a great spot in Healdsburg for a taste of New Orleans complete with delicious beignets, cafe au let, Po Boys, Jambalaya and the like. I'm in no way the authority on the incredible food of Louisiana, but I can say here that the food is flavorful, the portions are large, and the outdoor space is very nice. The prices are a bit high which keeps us from coming as often as we'd like, but we definitely always enjoy our meals here (including the time I brought my visiting sisters!) read more

In a word, "GO!" This place just rocks with a Cajun down-home ambience that oozes comfort at you. First, the staff was really great, friendly, helpful, and just the right amount of sassy ;) We started with the beignets, which rekindled a sense memory of New Orleans for me. Sheer perfection in pastry with a dusting of powdered sugar. Mmmm. Our group then ordered about everything on the menu - po' boys with shrimp, beef, the daily special of pulled pork, and sides of red rice & beans, jambalaya, grits, even some spiced french fries and everything was gobbled up like we hadn't eaten in days (we had though, actually). If Southern comfort food is your thing I suggest you head to Healdsburg and check this place out. Don't forget to make a reservation, it was pretty hopping when we arrived at 1:15 on a Saturday! read more
