Basque Boulangerie Café

Very nice experience on both mornings, love the fresh croissants. Pistachio cheesecake is good. Photo is egg bacon panini, also glad I try their cheese stick. It's the only one shop spell my name correctly!

I wanted to like this place, but the food was just underwhelming and bland. The lemon blueberry scone was very dry and had very little flavor. My ham quiche had almost no ham in it, mostly onion, and was a bit rubbery and lacking flavor. The crust was tough on the bottom and the crimped edges were hard as a rock. The steel cut oats were just okay. My group also ordered scrambled eggs and they tasted like hotel, industrial eggs. Most likely poured from a carton. The atmosphere inside is pretty nice, but very echoey and loud. There are tables inside, as well as outside on the sidewalk. The two employees inside were not unfriendly, but they did not make us feel welcome when we entered the cafe. This is counter service only. Overall a disappointing food experience.

Excellent pastries and coffee. We've also had tasty sandwiches. Less pretentious and lower priced than many places in Sonoma. Loaves of bread are good, and a bargain if you're there late in the day. Staff is courteous and professional, even when the place is jammed. Recommend.

I just found out this Cafe has been Sold! It's no longer Owned by the Original Family. I was very Disappointed that My Order of Clam Chowder To Go Cup was Cold! The Presentation was very good. It did come with Delicious Sour Dough Toast. My only "Disappointment" was the Clam Chowder was "Not Hot!" Perhaps more Training on how long to "Reheat Soup." I wanted to Walk over to the lovely Park and Eat. I decided to Sit Inside. Next time I will Order the Wonderful Baked Goods! 👍

Grabbed breakfast here on our last day in Sonoma. Cute place. Very good coffee. We enjoyed the pastry and the oatmeal. Certainly not inexpensive though, so be ready for some sticker shock. We visited in February so too cold to sit outside... I imagine that would be pleasant on a nice day.

Stopped here twice for a breakfast. The staff were very kind and engaging. The food was great. I got a breakfast sandwich and then the oats along with LOTS of pastries for the road. Big fan. Fast and easy spot to drop in for a good breakfast and good cup of coffee (or latte).

Great pastries and good coffee. Pretty and cozy inside. Staff doesn't seem happy to be there and it shows in their customer service. Not rude, but resentment is palpable. Never sure where to put used dishes. But all that said, it is a great place to go for a pastry and coffee or tea, which by the way is made from loose tea leaves which they bag themselves. Great touch!

This bakery was a major let down - the scones and croissants did not taste fresh, the staff were complacent-did not care!!!! I used to go here years ago,almost daily - I remember when it opened - the croissants were fresh and melted in your mouth, the coffee was excellent. The staff made you welcomed- now, not worth the time or money.
