Restaurants in Sebastopol

“We have been at Sonoma Wine Shop - La Bodega couple of months ago for a special Brunch and yesterday for our Anniversary. Both time the welcoming, the food, the wine and the hospitality were AMAZING 🙏😊 Such special people and food. For sure we will come again and again and recommend to All 💜”

“Best Thai food I've had stateside since returning from Thailand, bar none.”

“It’s Sooo Good.., I don’t want to Share This! Please Keep this Secret 🤫”

“Nice to see another Punchdown location, especially up in the Barlow. Eclectic selections with focus on more natty and esoteric grower producers. Some nice tasting options.

Didn't try any of the small snacks, more limited menu.”

“Gigi was exceptionally good - if she didn’t know the history as well as she could have or deep knowledge of wine making she more than made up for it by being charming and friendly
, things you can’t teach. The wines are always outstanding - Hallberg Ranch one yard is my favorite wherever it is poured but best in your hands (and Gary Farrell’s). I’m local and always send friends to emeritus. That won’t stop”

“Delicious wine and knowledgeable staff!”

“Our tasting experience with Kyle was exceptional! Not only were the wines on point, you could really sense Kyle’s passion for DRNK and the industry in general. I was immediately won over when we were offered two different bubbles to start and our crew really appreciated how informative yet informal the experience was. It truly felt like friends chatting about food, wine, and culture while sipping some of the best juice around. So glad we found this place!

Ohhhh and the caves were so cool!!”

“Outstanding pizza!! Sonoma county needed this!”

“Delicious sandwiches and tasty beverages. I will need to go back for the baked goods.”

“The Best lamb gyros we ever had! and we have tried several places. Gyros were very fresh. Will certainly now make this a frequent stop. Great prices & good size portions. Can't wait till summer to sit outdoors. More than a 5 rating.”

“Inventive food and the best bartenders!”

“Amazing wine tasting in a natural beautiful environment”

“I loved absolutely every single thing about this place! The welcoming, bright, beautiful space, the staff, the incredibly imaginative food (pussy willow pistachio, mochi donuts?!!!) , the elixirs and the vibe. I can't wait for my next trip to Sebastopol!”

“So good, we came back a few days later!”

“Such a great way to taste wines from all over our area. 2-ounce tastes are great. I enjoyed a couple of whites, then a flight of reds from DRNK for $25. Best tasting variety.”

“Absolutely delish! You can really taste that everything is fresh and homemade. I got the gf waffle (with such a nice syrup and fresh jam), eggs, and fries. I love how they cook their items in tallow! Definitely will come back here when I’m in the area again.
The staff was also very lovely 😄”

“Favorite coffee shop with the best coffee going on more than 23 years… No place I’d rather sit and do paperwork, listen to the music, engage in a random conversation with incredibly interesting person, you can even bring your dog.”

“Dined at Viva last night with friends from Petaluma. We absolutely loved our experience. It was chef and owner Sima’s Persian Night, something new she is doing on Monday and Tuesday nights. Sima is Persian, and although she has served amazing Mexican food since assuming ownership of the restaurant, she has always added a twist that reveals her Persian influence. The new menu offers a great selection of traditional Persian cuisine, sweet, savory, tart and includes wine, beer, and specialty drink pairings. My party enjoyed a crisp Sauvignon blanc, but next time I will try the Santa Rosa plum fruit roll up margarita as it looked beautiful and the woman at the table next to ours said it was delicious. We ordered an herb and cheese app, sima brought olives in a walnut sauce, the cucumber yogurt dish, lamb and quince stew, lentil and rice, and chicken pomegranate stew. All was delicious! We rarely order dessert, but were curious about the menu so had the pistachio ice cream, havla, and bread pudding. Sima brought an herbal tea that was a perfect compliment. Each dessert was incredible-the ha la my favorite but my friends voted the bread pudding. Amazing! The portions are just right which allowed us to try many different things, including desserts, but leave feeling satisfied, not “stuffed.”
Sima made everyone in the restaurant feel as though they were in her home. Persian music was playing in the background, and although she was busy serving, supporting staff, helping with takeout orders, she spent time visiting at tables, sharing food and her extensive knowledge about the traditions behind the meals on the menu.
I noticed some customers arrived expecting her normal Mexican fare and she honored it.
This is not a “get in and get out” experience- come for a unique, sobre mesa experience. Highly recommend.”

“absolutely the best pizza around this area. Great food, nice people, a great combo.”

“Wonderful time & delightful savories!”

“Very great experience. My cousin and I tried the Hot Mama, I think it was called, a mushroom mocha. It was delicious and we enjoyed sitting in the garden on a lovely October day. The woman who helped us was really nice!”

“The place is worthy the stop ! Excellent fresh food , amazing focaccia like in Italy toasted , clam chowder was wonderful, fresh and tasty during , incredible coffee. You can even buy pottery and some nice t-shirt ! Very welcome staff! Stop there and you will not regret it. From an Italian couple that know about food !”

“i drove all the way from the Los Angeles area just to come here. im a big fan of music and a big fan of wine, i couldnt ask for much more. i chose to sit outside but they have a small indoor area for tasting as well. They weren't incredibly busy when i came, it was just me and a couple so the service was immaculate. you MUST get a dog to get the full experience 😆. if youre a fan of Primus, they have their old tour bus on show and you can purchase some merchandise as well. my favorite was the Sonoma Coast Rosé, i took a bottle home for myself.”

“I’m so glad I finally got the chance to eat here. It was INCREDIBLE!!! Sautéed steak with fettuccine tossed in a ají Amarillo sauce, holy sh*^ it was sooooooo good!!!! Can’t wait to go again ❤️”

“Best Mexican Food in Town and very fair prices. Excellent customer service.”

“One of my favorite all time places!! The food is spectacular - fresh and always so tasty and flavorful!! Fresh seafood, juicy burgers, and the best French fries in the ENTIRE world!! (And all 3 dipping sauces are the bomb! )”

“We had such a lovely experience day tasting wine with the special food pairings. We will be adding this as necessary stop for our yearly gals vacation.”

“They allow local artists like me to showcase their work! Coffee, specialty drinks and food is delish!”

“Delicious Cookies 💞🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💞”

“Amazing delicious food and kind hearted family ♥️ I was surprised as how good their breakfast burrito was 😍😍😍”

“The Redwood serves delicious, reasonably priced food prepared and presented as if introducing you to a good friend. Great wine and non-alcoholic options too. The owners' enthusiasm for creating and sharing nourishing and beautiful food infuses the atmosphere with good vibes. I spent a lovely time with a friend chatting over appetizers and a glass of wine as if I were back in Madrid.”

“We went to the Pinot and Paella party on Sept 20 and had a wonderful time!! The paella was fabulous as well as the accompanying salad and fresh bread/cilantro spread. The wine was also fabulous - as well as the service!!”

“REALLY GREAT Carnitas!!! Al Pastor ON POINT!! FRESH/DELICIOUS house salsas!! (..just wish they could be spicier) AWESOME energy!! (thank you, Maria!) BEST homemade Jamaica I've had in years!!!! <3 ..Can't wait for Round 2!! ::)”

“Hey y'all want to enjoy some yummy eats? Check out The Farmers Wife at the Barlow in Sebastopol and Farmers market... Saturdays in San Francisco at the Ferry Building Sundays in Marin at the Civic Center”

“We love Goldfinch and have had many great experiences there. This time was not the same. The service was slow and lacking and our server was not the usual Goldfinch type. She was less friendly, definitely not helpful with wine selection, and just generally inattentive. We won't let this experience keep us away though. We'll be back!”

“Just returned from California and a highlight of our trip was Koblers vineyard. Mike Jr was so passionate & informative when educating us on Koblers wine. His warm & welcoming demeanour really made our visit fun. We enjoyed the cheese & wine pairing. Such a wonderful host and the homely setting is lovely.
P.s. our wine survived the return journey to Scotland!”

“One of my favorite wineries. Such a hidden gem. The owner was super nice and very fun to chat with. The experience was very relaxing and intimate. Went here with my brother a few years ago and looking to go back next time I'm in the area. I thought I was only a white wine girly but was blown away by the cab!”

“Great service, atmosphere and food!! 5 ⭐️”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such warmth and kindness — the staff truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The food was absolutely outstanding. I ordered the lasagna, and it was easily one of the best I’ve ever had — perfectly layered, rich in flavor, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth tender. You can really tell that the pasta is handmade fresh in-house — it had such an incredible texture and delicate taste that you just can’t find everywhere. Every bite was perfection. I will definitely be coming back and trying even more dishes. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves authentic, high-quality Italian food. If you’re a pasta lover like me, you must try their house-made pastas — they are truly something special. Overall, an amazing experience all around — from the food to the atmosphere to the genuinely sweet and attentive staff. 10/10!”

“Brady was amazing and SO SO knowledgeable…my new addiction 😊”

“Great creative pizza types!! Order and then get it delivered so you can enjoy the best pizza around. Check out that menu!!”

“The girl work at that spot I think her name is Ashley she know how to deal with customer
She always smile and so nice
Very clean and good food
God bless”

“amazing!!! this place us simply amazing! the food is fresh and great !!!”

“Fresh, delicious & beautiful presentation ❤️🥂”

“Tiny restaurant making big waves!

Never have I ever tried food or wine from Georgia, but I’ve been converted to a regular. The food is super simple, but make no mistake the dishes coming out of this kitchen are packed with flavor and done up. I tried dumplings, sautéed mushrooms, and a wrap. Every dish was like exploring a different part of Georgia and with each bite I got to see this cuisine is about transforming simple ingredients. I’d happily re-order everything I tried!

Georgian wine is unique unto itself. From what I understand the wine is made using a very old method of burying clay pots. There isn’t much processing or filtering, so the end product is very viscous. I enjoyed it, especially as a first time experience, but I don’t think it’s for me.

The restaurant itself has a warm, quant feel. The staff were extremely inviting and happy to explain the menu as well as the wine.

If you’re curious about trying Georgian food or just happen to want a great meal in Sebastopol then try Piala!”

“The pork rib & 1/2 chicken plate with 2 sides- the baked beans & coleslaw slaw were all fresh tasting & moist! The owner Chris was very insightful & was lovely sharing his time on their process, along with the operations manager Finn! The best BBQ ever... I can't wait to come back tomorrow!”

“Having traveled to India and Nepal, I can confidently say this is great Nepal/Indian food! It has the traditional foods you will recognize like tikka masala and biryani and all of it is good! We have taken many people out to this restaurant and everyone enjoys it. Highly recommend!”

“Got a breakfast burrito/wrap and smoothie, both were really good! The smoothie was absolutely amazing. The staff was really nice and they had a cute little section of merchandise from Mexico that was tasteful and didn’t clutter the store. Cleanest business I have been in, in a long time! They had cute decide for the holiday which was a nice touch.”

“Gabriel Diaz’s taco truck just catered our Celebration of Life in Cotati. Every person (200 folks) raved about his food. He supplied the best accouterments atmosphere and above all friendly smiles for all. I highly recommend this incredible catering service.”

“This place is the best! Delicious ciders on tap, plenty in cans, clothes & fresh apples. If you want to enjoy a crisp cider underneath an apple tree: this is the place. The chairs are wooden chairs which are insanely comfortable. My bf and I were locked into these chairs. Live music within earshot. The bartenders are also very knowledgeable about the drinks & asked me if I’ve been here before. They went above and beyond to inform me about the drinks and make me feel comfortable. Come here!”

“Amazing froyo place, nice atmosphere, we come here every time we are in Sebastopol. Plenty of flavours, and there are also some dairy-free sorbets.Street parking is available.Special flavours related to Halloween and Thanksgiving ?

Dietary restrictions: Dairy free sorbets / organic

Parking: Street parking”

“Fantastic coffee and the green 16 smoothie is to die for”

“The people here are just wonderful and friendly.....always a pleasure to shop here!”

“Still very good bagels but I feel they aren’t quite as good as they used to be but it seems everything is like that these days. Despite their tiny location, they do an efficient job at getting everyone served fairly quickly! Always friendly and smells so good!”

“They have several vegan options. Very good. Thank you”

“This place is s real hidden gem. The outdoor seating on a nice day is difficult to beat. The food is no joke, great surf Mex... Burritos and tacos but well made with obvious attention to detail.”

“Top quality food and service! My boyfriend and I have been eating here for 4 years and they know us by our order. 😆 Best sushi in Sonoma County!”

“They made the best wedding cake for our wedding! Everyone raved about it. It was absolutely beautiful!”

“This rarely known winery provides tours to their vineyard and their generated farm that grows the grapes! They even let me eat the grapes that will make the same bottle of wine but 2024 vintage! A never had tasting experience. Highly recommended.”

“Absolutely delicious tacos (the best I've ever had!) at such a low price - what a find - the lengua (tongue) and de cabeza (head) meat was incredibly tender and ”

“First time eating here! Good, healthy breakfast. Atmosphere and restaurant very nice. Servers on point and friendly!! We will return!”

“It was subway. A good sandwich and the daily special, so 10.99 for a sub,chips and a drink. Tho I opted for cookies instead of chips. Also, when did restaurants start charging tax for To-go orders?”

“Always delicious!!! Gabriel is so sweet, too. :)”

“We ordered 2 pizzas at Papa Murphy's in Sebastopol, CA an hour ago and Joseph did an incredible job!! Super service, excellent demeanor. Great employee
Mike Grady, Redmond, WA”

“They have a very clean accessible ladies bathroom with changing table, high booster stools, kids menu available, friendly staff and delicious food. It was a birthday and they surprised us with a birthday sign, a candle and a song at the table! Thank you!”

“Delicious shrimp dumplings, mango sticky rice, and steamed shrimp/vegetable plate. They made the food perfect the first time how I asked for it and the service was very good!”

“My husband and I come here whenever we can for breakfast or lunch. We usually get the Cals Mombo Combo and split it because the portions are enormous! It’s absolutely delicious and a household favorite. Starbucks is across the street so I think people tend flock there more. I really hope more people come to check them out— it’s a gem that deserves more recognition! Support local!”

“Best iced coffee and best servers!”

“Coming back from Valley Ford, where we released a breeding pair of badgers out there in the rolling hills and grasslands to help control the prairie dog population that old Lady Peta started when she released the vermin back in 2016. ...And boy, I'll tell you we're beat! It's tough walking those rolling hills carrying a steal cage that has a 25-pound angry badger in it, and all it can think about is biting you!
Well, we took the long way back through Sebastopol just so we could stop at the Taqueria El Favorito for one of their bigger than life burritos, and they were Amazing!
5 stars all day long! ☆☆☆☆☆”

“If you're looking for a charming, feel-good spot to satisfy your sweet tooth, this family-owned ice cream shop is a hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere and the kind of personal service you just can't get at big chains.

The ice cream itself is top-notch—creamy, rich, and clearly made with care. They offer a great variety of classic and creative flavors, many of which rotate regularly, so there's always something new to try. Standouts for me were the homemade waffle cones and their seasonal specials.

What really makes this place special is the love and attention behind everything they do. You can tell the family takes pride in their work, from the quality ingredients to the friendly conversations at the counter. It's the kind of place where kids light up, and adults find a little nostalgic joy.

Highly recommended for a treat that feels both indulgent and heartfelt.”

“If you want delicious pizza, friendly customer service & a chill environment: come here! I was greeted immediately and asked if I had any questions. I ordered what I wanted & said it was my first time and I was given a free huge cookie! It was home made chocolate chip with salt. So, so good. The rice crispy treats are good and if you’re a ranch person, their ranch is the best! I’m normally not a pizza fan but this place had me come back and order more for lunch tomorrow!”

“Always good quality - staff is delightful and when I ask about Betty, they respond with the latest news. We all love Betty and her legendary pies so we like to know she's still with us.”

“nicole is great. very fast and perfect location”

“Little outdoor spot with unique tacos. Has the Barlow tacos and “fish and chips” tacos, both so good. And the gentleman who helped us was super nice. Even delivered to trivia night at nearby pub. Will return for sure.”

“The jasmine milk tea with boba was very pleasant and refreshing. I was excited to try their mochi donuts as I’ve been looking all over for somewhere to buy one. I bought the matcha donut and it was delicious! I can’t wait to go try their other flavors. Their shop was small and cozy with an array of cute gifts and candy. I definitely recommend checking them out!”

“Ochoa's--both locations!- is the best mexican food in Sonoma County! I come from Marin County just for their amazing fish tacos, rice and beans. So outrageously delicious I drive 45 min when I have a craving.”

“Yes, I recommend Screamin’ Mimi’s, but after today’s visit I may need a new neck. SM’s has always had at least 2 easy-to-read menus viewable, at least one inside and one outside. Not now. Now the ice cream flavors are on just one electronic screen right by the cash register and it’s really high. As in Really HIGH. Lots of small print. I was wondering what kind of neck damage I was incurring while trying to read the menu. The group behind me had some little kids and the adults were having a hard time trying to read and translate (what’s lavender?) the list to them. Or, if you prefer a QR code, it’s also right next to the cash register. Don’t forget your phone! In other words, everyone who hasn’t seen today’s menu before they arrive will be stuck trying to figure out their order while standing next to the cash register, peering at a complex menu, creating a traffic jam and longer line. Please, Mimi’s, don’t have the list so high and don’t put it just before the cash register.”

“The lady that runs this place is great :) She always makes you feel at home. It’s really dark inside and i like it that way. Mixed crowd that all get along just fine. The drinks are really reasonably priced. The BEST jukebox around. It has everything new and old. There is an old Star Wars pinball machine, a couple of pool tables, a shuffleboard? game, a small train that makes its rounds above your head for only 25 cents, and surprisingly nice restrooms. I love it here. It is my favorite local watering hole. When i drink a little too much, get a little loud and rowdy, or start making out with my girlfriends, they don’t even mind. Definitely my kind of place.”

“The burgers are delicious, and the fries, especially the sizes are great. I suggest Cajun Fries and Sequioa Chicken with mustard. However, anything on their wide menu is really good, so dont hesitate to try something new!”

“The coziest Cafe in town, with a delicious & diverse menu and spectacular service. Relax on the patio or enjoy treats in the eclectic, locally loved Cafe!”

“Coffee is always bomb, food is always yummy, and I always feel for the baristas/cooks bc they always seem to be understaffed (which is absolutely a management problem & not a service worker issue lol). I come here more often than I should (at least 3-4 days a week) and I’ll never stop. I don’t mind the wait time for nibbles & caffeine bc the baristas always nail it & are always super kind. A couple of them even know me & my regular order lol”

“Best iced coffee and best servers!”

“Love, love LOVE this local business. My workday in Sebastopol is nourished and fueled every week from the smoothies that queen bee Gia and all her wonderful employees provide. Thanks for providing such beautiful, delicious offerings to our community.”

“The burgers are delicious, and the fries, especially the sizes are great. I suggest Cajun Fries and Sequioa Chicken with mustard. However, anything on their wide menu is really good, so dont hesitate to try something new!”

“Hey everyone; this fabulous iconic restaurant is scheduled to close December 18th, 2022 due to the covid economy which is just lifting. Let's give our support and help keep their doors open by ordering some of their great meals. As reviews state, this is a special place. Over the years, my meals there have shown a creative flair in the manner they combined breakfast/lunch items. The food has always been fresh, tasty, substantial, and reasonably priced. It would be a real loss for Sebastopol if they close their doors. Show them you care, give your support, let your neighbors know of this pending departure of this iconic restaurant. Thank you.”

“Everything you want in a meal, very accommodating to all dietary restrictions- loved the bright open concept of the place and the chef and his partner clearly pour all of their love into this food and it shows. 10/10 would recommend!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with such warmth and kindness — the staff truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome.

“A hidden gem in Sebastopol! A beautiful place to meet with friends. I love the simplicity of the play space, as it leaves so much room for creative play. The barista makes killer drinks and the food is always so delicious! It’s off the beaten path, but well worth the visit.”

“The food was delicious, easily has become one of my favorite Mexican restaurant in the area! The owner was kind, respectful and attentive to our table. Give it a try!”

“I was visiting Sebastopol and stopped at Brew Brothers for coffee. The lavender latte was delicious. It’s a tastefully designed, clean environment with a small outdoor patio, WiFi, and nice staff!”

“Server was super friendly, ambiance was nice (really enjoyed the little fire pits), and burgers were really good. Bonus points for having excellent onion rings. 🥰”
