    The photo doesn't do justice to the darling details put into the craft.

    A little hole in the wall place, hidden in a strip mall, with delightful staff and good coffee. We shared a large, delicious berry scone (we went later and the bakery was almost cleared out!) There's also a large selection of handcrafted items that were very cool. I bought the cutest stuffed animals for my granddaughter! Definitely recommend, and would go back if in the area.

    So they don't have a lot of indoor or outdoor seating so plan accordingly. It's a relatively small cafe - and I would say that calling it a "cafe" is a stretch. It seems more like a small bakery shop that sells some Latin clothing goods. I had the best curry chicken wrap ever!! It was perfectly spicy and oh so delicious! I would come have just to have this wrap again and again.

    Feb 2023 Grabbed food to go since we were on our way out to Bodega Bay for the day. The ladies at the front were helpful with any questions that we had. In retrospect, I probably could've called it in but I had never been here before. I had gotten a curry wrap with tofu and avocado. Flavors worked well. The curry sauce was a bit light but the tofu took to it nicely. I'd say it would've been nice being wrapped more tightly since it kinda fell apart, and was quite messy with all the sauce. Good for to go though along to other adventures, but I will probably order ahead next time for ease.

    A great house-made blueberry scone to start the day!

    Favorite spot in Sebastopol! For a quick healthy bite or a delicious pastry. My kids love the smoothies!

    The spring rolls are the freshest and best I've ever had, even better than at Vietnamese restaurants in the county.

    I mean this as such a compliment but I've always wondered what happened to that hippie culture that…read morewas created in SF and seems to have been long forgotten in the city. You will find that amazing vibe in this area and Lightwave Coffee exemplifies a movement that was so much about optimism and love. Interior and exterior are amazing with much of the decoration being made from found objects. I loved all the old electronic and mechanical devices inside and loved the mishmash cups and plates that made it feel like you were eating in a friends kitchen. The food and coffee we got were abnormally high quality and we recommend the cookies and the basil ice lemonade. So good after a long day outdoors. Right next to it is a community farm that felt so welcoming and chill. Volunteers were weeding and cleaning on the weekend and it reminded me the very best of the game Stardew Valley. Right next to it is a concrete skatepark and a guy was shredding it when we went. So worth a stop for all these bonus quests! They also had a "pay what you want" little section of potted plants you can take away such as chilis, tomatoes, etc...

We ordered the avo+egg bagel and ham+cheese bagel to share, in addition to iced coffee with oat milk. I'm sure we'll come back another time to try the rest of the menu.

There's a beautiful garden and small skateboarding park nearby that's publicly accessible, if you feel like walking around too!

    I CANNOT believe that I haven't reviewed this business already? You know those places that you go…read moreto so religiously that it's not even a choice anymore? This is one of those places for me. I've been coming here since high school which is (ahem...) a really long time ago. I always order the same things: an Irish Cream flavored creamy Italian soda and a backpacker cookie. Today, Vela was behind the counter when I came in. I started giving her my drink order and she finished it for me. Now, mind you, I grew up in Sebastopol, but I don't live in town anymore. I only end up passing through periodically, but apparently this combination is a little unique. I love it though. It tastes like melted ice cream or a perfect cream soda. Highly recommend. (This is also one of the only places I've ever run across creamy Italian sodas, but it's simply an Italian soda + some half and half. They always measure out the syrup and cream, so it's not too sweet. They typically stir it too before handing it to you and generally stay available for a moment to ensure you don't want them to adjust the balance of syrup, ice and sparkling water.) The backpacker cookie has oats, raisins, coconut, chocolate chips and walnuts. Now, I can be funny about both walnuts and raisins in my cookies, but they always get the balance just right! Also, when I came in a few months ago, they were out of backpackers and my son ordered a cinnamon flat. I ended up trying it and fell in love with it too! So, now I order both and share some with my son when I get home. I've met Bronwen, the owner, as well. One time when I dropped in, she noticed that I was ordering Irish Cream and said she'd wondered whether she should keep stocking that flavor. When she heard how much I loved it, she agreed to keep it stocked. I'll admit; that influences me when I'm driving through. Not that I wouldn't ordinarily choose to stop, but now I have an additional gratitude toward them. So glad that the new owners (Bronwen and her husband have apparently been the owners since 2020) have kept this institution here!

My…read morefavorites are peanut butter and the Cowboy cookie (although they can be sometimes a little oily/chewy) Located downtown Sebastopol, on Main, they have a service window or an inside counter. They also have other items such as coffee and small bites but that's not my reason I stop by, so can't speak on them.

It was my first time in this area of Santa Rosa. There's a small parking lot in the back. We walked in and the space was decorated so nicely though there's not a lot of seating indoors. I can imagine how busy this place can get on a sunny day since there's lots of tables and chairs outside. We weren't greeted by the person working, just met with silence. We stood looking at the menu on the wall while the barista stood waiting for us to order. I didn't see the "special" matchas I found through the photos on Yelp then finally noticed that there was a special menu flat on the counter. I think it would be helpful if the special drinks were easier for customers to see. We both ordered then waited for our drinks. While we waited I thought I would go to the restroom, but unfortunately when I checked it was out of order. Don't get confused and go into the "employees only" door! Once we received our drinks, I was glad to see the color of both our matchas were a nice shade of green. The drinks itself were way too sweet and I could barely taste the matcha. To note, this was better than a Starbucks matcha -- it just wasn't our cup of tea. It was good to try but personally, we are not coming back.

    I recently visited Taylor Lane Coffee and left feeling a bit disappointed. I ordered a hot chai,…read morewhich ended up being just okay. Definitely on the sweeter side and not enough spiced chai. It was also extremely foamy with so much foam that it felt more like a cappuccino than a chai. I ordered a 12oz but after scooping out the foam probably ended up with less than 8oz. When a barista called out a "hot chocolate," they looked directly at me and asked, "Didn't you order this?" I let them know I had ordered a hot chai, not a hot chocolate. Instead of clarifying or letting me know what would happen next, the barista walked away and spoke to the other staff member without saying anything to me about fixing the order or remaking the drink. They did end up offering us the hot chocolate, which was nice of them, but the lack of communication left the interaction feeling awkward and a bit frustrating. Overall, the drink was fine but not great, and the service could definitely use more clarity and attentiveness.
