I love this place! The people are so friendly and sweet. I'm so glad it's my neighborhood cafe.

We love this sweet little hidden gem! Coffee is from a quality local roaster. Staff are friendly and calm in the morning rush. The scones are super yum. And a whole little shop of nicely curated handcrafts from Oaxaca, along with some local things! read more

Nice spot to have a bite of lunch. The Vietnamese bowl was just okay, I thought it lacked flavor. But nice space and nice service. My friend had a smoothie and thought well of it! read more

This cozy little corner Café is neat and tidy with friendly Service. The kitchen is clean as a whistle and the food is pretty darn good! I only had a cheese quesadilla, so I can't really speak for all the food, but there were a few shelves of fresh baked goods at reasonable prices. They also have a sophisticated barista machine for high-quality coffee blends. A wide selection of smoothies are also available. While you're waiting for your freshly prepared food, there's some awesome, beautifully curated merch from Mexico and South America. Parking is decent and if you're lucky, you can find a spot right in front. A couple of outdoor seating tables and chairs are also offered, though depending on the time of day, it might get pretty hot! read more

Love this place! They have this rainbow smoothie and it's so good! Always good service. Seem to be a good mix of people too here!

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

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. read more

Westside Cafe - The photo doesn't do justice to the darling details put into the craft. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sebastopol, California

As it has been so many times in the past, this sweet, cozy cafe was amazing today! Their yummy breakfast burritos hit the spot when you're on the go. Also love their chicken spring rolls for a yummy lunch (double points for the delicious sauce). Love the food, the service, love this sweet local spot. read more

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. read more

Westside Cafe - Curry wrap - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sebastopol, California

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. read more

We love the smoothies here, all the baked goods taste like their homemade and we all love the Vietnamese influenced dishes as well. This place is a favorite. read more

Lovely people lovely food. Simple and healthy. Always the same. The world needs more like this.

This is our go-to lunch spot . We love their noodle salads and their coffee! They have nice fresh pastries that are some of the best scones in town. read more

Great people, great food and great service. I come to westside cafe whenever I can for a ham, bacon or sausage breakfast wrap. Oatmeal cookies or pastry puffs are my favorite desserts to go to. They are very welcoming and nice people to be around! read more

The staff were so polite!!! such a nice atmosphere and delicious food!! not only was the food good, but the items for sale were so gorgeous. I'm definitely coming again!! read more

I have been here probably a dozen times! I always have one of the delicious salads, usually the tea leaf salad (or something like that!). It's always plenty. I had a very nice green juice too. Tons of parking. Very understated, as the tables (with sun-shades!) are right next to the parking spots. Very inexpensive and fast service makes it very convenient. So, although the "ambiance" is not fancy, it's good for the price and ease of parking and quick service. read more

I was on the way to the coast and looking for a wrap or juice. I asked to use the restroom before ordering which must be a problem for them? A lady in the kitchen got very upset and began repeating herself that it was for customers only which I totally understand. I ordered a juice so that she wouldn't have to cook anything since she was acting so intense. The lady managing her was helpful and kind and based on most reviews this place seems good to support. Just do not use the bathroom before ordering! Maybe they need a sign for the restroom so that lady doesn't scare people away. read more

Come here everyday and it's always the best food and service and espresso drinks. Highly recommend the vegetable and/or meat rolls that are wrapped in rice paper with a nice sweet chili sauce.. great curry rice plates and wraps.. breakfast burritos and quesadillas. Fresh baked pastries and smoothies. They have a little bit of everything. read more

I had a wonderful strawberry peach scone - yummy! My husband ordered the sausage breakfast. He ended up up not eating it after only one bite. read more

The Westside Café is one of my favorite restaurants in Sevastopol. I've been going there since they opened and love everything they make, especially the spring rolls and curry dishes. The spring rolls are the freshest and best I've ever had, even better than at Vietnamese restaurants in the county. The ladies who own and run this business are among the nicest people I've ever met. I'm very grateful they survived the Covid era. The prices are literally half what you would pay in most others restaurants while the quality is unsurpassed. A true gem! read more

Delicious smoothie. So many options including mango, guava and avocado. Perfect On this warm day. Loved that I could use my own cup.

Their food is healthy, fresh and all around good! Inside scoop: if you order a day ahead, they make an apple cake that is amazing! It's not on their menu. Their smoothies are sooooo good too! I have moved away and when I come back to town, I always go to Westside Cafe! read more

This place is such a gem in Sebastopol I come here almost every week and get the chicken rice bowls and every time it gets better plus the service here is outstanding if your ever in the area it's a must to stop In! read more

Wow, just wow. It's hard to describe this place. The scones alone grant this place 5 stars. Unlike any scone you've ever had. Recreating the classic. Soft in the middle with buttery, crispy edges. In general, I like scones. I love these. Scones aside, the apricot turnover and coffee cake give this place 5 stars. Such an understated location, next to the laundromat and 7-11, it would be foolish to look this place over. read more

You know you've found a great spot to start your morning when you walk in the door and are hit by that unmistakable scent of fresh baked goods hot out of the oven. That's what you'll experience at Westside Café, a fantastic little café tucked away in the corner of a small shopping center in Sebastopol. The folks here make their baked goods fresh every morning, and they know a thing or two about pastry, turning out the best scones I've had in a long while, made the way they're supposed to be - a nice bake on the outside, but soft and light on the inside. The folks behind the counter get up at 4 am each day to make the baked goods, and they definitely put a lot of love into their baking. They also have great breakfast burritos for when you're hungry for some eggs but don't want a huge breakfast. The coffee is from a local roastery - strong and well-balanced, perfect to go along with whatever you've chosen out of the pastry case. An added bonus if you're visiting from the east coast, like me - they open at 7 am, perfect! Bottom line: if these folks had a shop back home, they'd be my regular coffee stop in the morning. read more

Westside Cafe - A great house-made blueberry scone to start the day! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sebastopol, California

This is a hidden gem that we were glad to discover. Wonderful, fresh food that is healthy and quick. And the owner is very nice. I would recommend something, but it seems that everything is good. read more

I love how quick, easy, friendly, yummy and reasonably priced this lil spot is! It is becoming a new favorite! I love their breakfast burrito's or "wraps" and they always have some tasty treats that are super fresh and usually hand made. Wow, my burrito came so fast this morning I don't have time to finish my review! Thank you! You guys/gals rock! Your coffee is super delicious too! Mmmmm! Next to try will be their rice plates...they look so good! I need to come back when it's closer to lunch time, but I always find myself here in the morning. ;-) Yummm! Prices are really good! People are fabulous! Coffee by Taylor maid farms, A+! Organic coffee!!! Yessss!! Ok, I need to eat my breakfast :-)) mmmmm!!! read more

The wonderful women from Mexico, who own this café, and who cook all the food have a secret ingredient.. The other ingredients include things like pineapple in scones. Yum !! Apricot filling in pastries. They use fresh vegetables in the assorted other wraps and soups. Their intention is to offer very healthy food and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg.(just an arm.). I would highly recommend this gem of Sebastopol. Oh, the secret ingredient is. L O V.E read more

They are always so amazing and nice! Food is excellent i recommend the Chai lattes and chicken curry plate!

Tucked neatly in the corner of the shopping center by Bodega Highway, this fantastic, homely eatery sits unsuspecting and modest from the glancing eye. What a wonderful surprise to find they not only have excellent smoothies of a vast selection, but also have a coup de grace of the most fluffy, buttery, succulent scones I have ever tried. At $3.50 a pop and hitting hard with crispy outsides, fluffy insides, and glorious fruit filling, my baseline perception for scones has been forever altered. They've taken a sledgehammer to the idea of dry, flavorless store bought "scones" that I'd had at work parties. Immaculate craftsmanship and I've only just begun regular patronage there. Please don't overlook this place, it's amazing! read more

I've been going here for a while now and I'm always happy with the quantity and quality of their food. Their flavors aren't complicated but are instead classic and fresh. They don't skimp, that's for damn sure. I just paid $12.50 plus tip for like, three pounds of food. Great for an afterworkout meal. The ladies that work there are very friendly too. read more

I have lived in my town for 10+ years and recently decided To give this a try and WOW am I happy. CLEAN, FRESH, very friendly staff and GREAT SCONES. They also offer a nice variety for lunch or breakfast items. There are a few tables if you want to sit and relax for a few minutes. They carry local brands of coffee like Taylot Maid Farms and truly this is better than the chain coffee pastry spots. I am looking forward to trying a wrap or a rice bowl but in the meantime the BLACKBERRY SCONE that is always WARM has won me over! Yummm give it a try if you want a low key, locals type of spot! read more

A quick homemade healthy bite to eat, a smoothie, and a hot cup of coffee or tea. This quaint little corner cafe has it all. It's clean and the owner and staff are friendly. Plus it supports local artists. read more

Excellent, low fat spring roll. Fresh veggies. Delicious. There are a few seats/tables, rather limited. Good takeout. Why is it called Animal House? Shouldn't it be beer & burgers? It's not... it's all fresh Asian stuff and coffees. Did they inherit the name from the previous owners? I am confused. Hairdresser across the parking lot recommended this place. Otherwise, would have never set foot inside. Dear Animal House, Get a website & a better name & earn 5 stars. Love, Megan Gee read more

Consistently great coffee, great baked scones and great service. I love the curry dishes and the soup is delicious with tons of veggies. And another great thing is that they are open on Sunday. So I never have to go to far to get my latte. I just love Adela and her family. read more

Atmosphere/Ambiance: 3/5 It's small, maybe six tables indoors and two outside. The music is usually some generic pop station which is unfortunate. That said, everything is very, very, clean. Big drawback: the wifi is iffy (at best). They do not have their own wifi, you have to get it from the laundromat next door which is doable but not always working. And if it isn't working, you're screwed because no one works at the laundromat. Kitchen: 5/5 They serve Taylor Maid coffee and it is prepared well. But the real highlight here is their pastries which they make fresh each day and their odd but tasty selection of spring rolls, salads, and rice plates. In regards to the pastries, the blueberry scones are fantastic and if you can get them while they're still hot, you win. The spring rolls are a personal favorite - every flavor is present and nothing is ever overcooked. Service: 5/5 The woman who I see there most may be the nicest woman on the planet. But her aside, all the people there are genuine and kind, service is quick and efficient, and everything is super clean. Conclusion: It really deserves five stars because it's probably the best cafe in Sebastopol but it only get four because of the wifi issue. Also, because it deserves repeating, the people there are really, really, nice. read more

Fresh, healthy, fast, friendly, affordable annnd delicious. This is a hidden gem. I love the teriyaki bowl with chicken, the lemongrass salad, and the spring rolls read more

oh how I want to give you five stars Westside Cafe, but I couldn't! Those spring rolls aren't rolled correctly! I live in hippie town, that's really what comes to mind when I think about how many vegetarians there are in Sebastopol. This place is great for vegetarians I hear, from their tofu curry wrap to their spring rolls, it's like a vegetarian heaven (as opposed to San Jose where all vegetarian spots are rare to find). Now, nothing's wrong with being vegetarian heck, I prefer some tofu instead of meat when I want to avoid being gassy, but even though their food is great for the tummy, I just can't stand how their spring rolls are rolled. I like my spring rolls rolled like Cuban cigars: clean and tight. I have a problem with their wraps also. They just leak juices all over their place. Their spring rolls, split apart the instant you bite into them. I complained to my friends "they don't roll their burritos or spring rolls tight enough!" "you do realize it's called a wrap, not a burrito." Fine. So it's meant to leak, but that doesn't excuse the spring rolls falling apart! I've eaten here a few times to say that I like their prices. Their numbers are perfect for even change. No messy pennies typically come through as part of the transaction. That's at least a plus. But what really brought me to write a review wasn't their wraps or their spring rolls, but actually their noodle bowl. Chicken Noodle bowl. Here's why: When I go to a Vietnamese restaurant I don't order the Pho, I order the "bun". the "bun" or "rice noodles" (which is what Americans like to call) can be ordered as "bun thit nuong" which is bbq pork with noodles and some vinegar liquid (nuooc mam) that goes over the noodles. It's not a soup. it's noodles. The nuoc mam is made of white vinegar, fish sauce, and sugar. I forgot the portions. Anyway I'm moving off topic... I typically order the "bun thit nuong" when I don't feel like sweating it out at the restaurant over a bowl of pho. Westside Cafe's noodle bowl is the closest I've found to it (but for cheap and for to go in a pinch). Anyway that's all I wanted to say. Four stars for the noodle bowl that's like "bun thit nuong" but they lose a star for their poorly wrapped spring rolls and burritos. Sorry, I mean wraps. read more

Cheap, great food and smoothies. The lady that works here is so sweet! I'm never disappointed or uncomfortable.

The scones are homemade and delicious in this small town diner with big time morsels. I would make the walk up the hill all week for the coconut pineapple scone and a fruit smoothie. All fresh, cheap and utterly amazing. A must stop for early dining. read more
