This was a great find. Went for coffee every morning. Staff was friendly and helpful. Met locals who told us what fun to have for the day. Met the local bike shop owner who told us more ways to see sonoma.

Lunch was quick and tasty, the service was good, the mimosas are great and the atmosphere was the best part. We sat in their little garden outside in the sun. It was one of my favourite meals of our trip.

Visited the cafe for breakfast with friends, after a LONG day wine tasting and tequila drinking. Breakfast was just what we needed. Large portions, bottomless coffee and an outdoor area to eat in. Dog friendly too! Also, check out some of the artwork in the cafe, some great (in my opinion) San Fran art hanging up.

Great coffee. Savory omelettes. Crunchy, thick toast. What's not to like. We'll be back for breakfast, next time we're in Sonoma.

What a delightful little place! I went for breakfast and enjoyed the oatmeal and a chai latte. It was fun, friendly, cozy, and had great artwork for sale on the walls! The service was great, also!

We ate here for a late breakfast on a weekday before heading out for a day of vineyard tours. It seemed like a local favorite but didn't have a trendy superiority though it had every right to claim it. Yummy egg omlette and fine coffee set the day off on the right foot.

Yes, I'll freely admit we heard about this place on The Food Network: But what we got was exactly as seen on TV (something you can't say every day). The lambburger was exceptional and the portion size would not leave anyone hungry. The simple decor was contrasted by the near-religious enthusiasm of the regular customers. One such fellow, who stood... More

Went for breakfast. I had an egg sandwich, wife had the peppered bacon waffle. Both were outstanding. Coffee was good also. Sit in the wonderful back patio if the weather is nice.

Great place for breakfast. And, as I typed in the subject, you must order the Nutella shake. Even if you're on a diet. (Run later or lift weights...share it with a friend, because it's lovely.) I like that they give you a good-sized teapot for your tea. And, that they offer good quality teas to choose from. Service is friendly.... More
