It was a rainy Sunday morning so we stopped in for some coffee, tea, and some brunch. Several others had the same idea so it was a bit on the crowded side. This affected the speed of service but our server made up for it with her pleasant demeanor and an absolutely delicious cookie! I had the sourdough french toast and I have to say it was great. It is made with thick slices of sourdough and topped with some whipped cream and fresh fruit slices. It was both filling and satisfying. My wife had the West County Omelette and she enjoyed it but said the hash browns were awesome. We enjoyed our meal and our visit to the cafe and I highly recommend it to others!

Nice cafe. The server was sweet to accomodate us at 2.45 and also was patient with customizations to make our order eggless and vegatarian. Really appreacite it. Garden salad and breakfast burrito with beans was yum!

1. This restaurant is right next to the Ford market so it’s easy to spot.
2. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They were very patient with us as we were a large group.
3. Their drinks were also very good. I would recommend their freshly squeezed OJ, their iced tea, and their lemonade, which is also fresh.
4. Their service is also quick considering we ordered 10 dishes.
5. I would definitely recommend their Sonoma omelette, with hash browns and sour dough bread. Their mushroom melt is also pretty good. Their Sonoma omelette and mushroom melt pretty much have the same filling so it tastes more or less the same.
6. Their breakfast burrito was also good.
7. Their prices are on the higher side. Normally I would pay around $15 or $16 for something like this. But this was closer to $25.
Overall I would recommend this place for brunch if you’re staying nearby. I would also recommend this place if you have to drive 15 minutes out of your way. It was very satisfying.

Excellent place to have breakfast. The food was amazing, and so was the service. I would highly recommend it and will come again when we’re passing through.

Both of us had the mushroom melt on sourdough. It was mediocre at best and with the outrageous price it was poor at best. The buttered bread and cheese overwhelmed the thin layer of mushrooms. The texture of the sandwich just didn’t work, with mushrooms and spinach falling out on every bite. Side salad was the mixed greens you would get at the grocery store packaged, with some red onion on top. That was it. The onion rings were super thin and the batter fell off before you could dip. No texture and no crunch. Very disappointing. Wish I took a picture.
The road noise is pretty terrible on the patio. We were there an hour before lunch closing.
Service was wonderful and warm.

I thought I would just grab a cup of tea to go, but once inside at precisely 8am, I decided I was actually pretty darn hungry. The tea had really good flavor, and I was offered more water as I ate. The breakfast of eggs, not your boring old hash browns, and thick bacon were just what I needed after a long beach walk. The gentlemen were kind, and the food supports local. Win win!! I plan on returning soon. Thank you!!

If you are remotely near here, or fancy a trip, this is a not-to-miss spot.
The staff are super, super friendly and the food is outstanding. We were in for breakfast. Great coffee, great eggs, great bacon, so glad I took the server’s advice on the Hashbrows – also great. Wife loved her sausage and the bread is amazing.
I’m looking forward to going back and trying the lunch page of the menu!
In the parking lot are a wall of flowers that are home to hundreds of Monarch butterfly’s. It was such a treat to spend our meal watching them flutter about, knowing how endangered they are!
Pro tip.
The Jalapeno hot sauce is home made and goes great on everything. Also, they will sell you a bottle if you ask. You should!

While visiting Sonoma County, we stopped by Estero Café for breakfast—and what a great find! I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, and it was so delicious I almost ordered a second one! Believe it or not, it was my first time trying the dish, and now I’m hooked.
We also enjoyed the French Toast Combo and the Breakfast Burrito with bacon—everything was flavorful and satisfying. We left our plates completely clean!
The staff was kind and welcoming, and the cozy atmosphere made the experience even better. If you’re in the area—or even a short drive away—it’s definitely worth the stop!

We had wanted to stop here the last few times we were at Bodega Bay, but the timing was off as far as we had already eaten by the time we passed there. We will never make that mistake again! The food was so delicious, and the portions were more than ample. Looking forward to stopping there again on our way to or from Bodega.

Maybe we were there when short staffed but it was a bit chaos with no one noticing us and a bit off for the order The food was OKAY but was it it worth 20-ish? Perhaps there’s was no too many options to pick from around here
