Patisserie Angelica

Gergana made us the most beautiful ocean themed cake for my 3 year old’s birthday! She was extremely sweet, easy to work, with and responsive. We shared a few inspirational pictures and she nailed the ask. The cake was gorgeously wrapped for travel and delicious. We looked at a few different bakeries in the area when we were trying to find someone to make our cake but felt none of them quite matched Gergana/Patisserie Angelica’s level of expertise.

Courteous but not as friendly as other places, but it was slammed at lunch time. Their food is wonderful. Expensive, but you get what you pay for here. We (2) had breakfast for around $50. Two quiches, two scones, two coffees. But their best of show, gold medal winning cake was heaven on a fork. Amazing. I bought two as gifts.

I chose Patisserie Angelica for my wedding, and it was absolutely the best decision! The cake was not only stunning but incredibly delicious. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. What really stood out to me was her use of organic ingredients and no artificial dyes, which made everything feel even more special. Angelica was so patient and attentive throughout the entire process. She really took the time to understand the exact style of cake I envisioned. The cake tasting was such a fun experience, and our favorite flavors were the chocolate chiffon and the Meyer lemon—both were out of this world! I’ll definitely be returning for our anniversary. Highly recommend!

This bakery makes the most delicious chocolate cake ever. The best in show is a cake I have purchased more than any other cake in my life. Delightful soft and the perfect chocolate mouse lightness and heavenly.

Utilized Angelica’s services for our wedding cake. Came out fantastic, so many compliments were received for having delicious and out of the box flavored cake. We opted for Angelica’s favorite (which she mentioned isn’t often chosen due to its complex flavor profile) and so happy we did. Highly recommend the almond based cake with brandied apricots as well as the chocolate chiffon. She was super accommodating and encouraging of making use of our family's farm fruit for some of the ingredients to have a sentimental touch. Will be making use of her bakery for all special occasion desserts in the future.

TLDR; Great selection of pastries. Skip the coffee and get the tea instead. We came in first thing in the morning and there was already a line, which moves quite slowly- so if you’re not big on waiting, get here sharp at opening time. Food: we ordered the almond peach tart, almond chocolate croissants and a blueberry scone - everything was so incredibly good. The croissants are so flaky, and probably the best I’ve ever had. We also got the opera cakes to go, but I wasn’t too impressed with those. Drinks: the coffee is quite mediocre but the tea selection is absolutely fantastic.

Oh, so lovely. An authentic European bakery with delightful offerings. The little cakes are fantastic. Definitely worth a stop for a little snack or to pick up dessert.

Visit Patisserie Angelica, everything is delicious! My personal favorite is Gateau Parisian, which I haven't found at any other patisserie around Bay Area and surrounding areas. It's light, unique, delicious, and leaves you wanting to have another one. Very European, which is an uncommon treat for the area.  But  everything else is a must try as well. Recently had the pleasure of having owner, Gergana, create a custom cake for my grandma's 100th Birthday celebration. Two layers, one was Almond Apricot Cake  (also unique and quite delicious cake you can't find anywhere else in the nearby 100+ radius area) and the other Tahitian Vanilla Bean Cake (delicate, light and to fit most taste-buds) were gone in matter of minutes. Design paid tribute to my grandma's interests (love for lilacs and cross-stitching) and Gergana captured conceptual design and doodle mockups in such a beautiful and neat detail that I, Grandma, and everyone was marveling at it every chance we got. We didn't want to cut into the cakes to ruin the creation, but glad we did because the cakes were incredibly tasty.  Grateful to Gergana for her care, attention to detail, patience working with me and my requests. Her customer care and patisserie skills capture you (well they captured me) and you're happy to be coming back for more, even when you have to commute to them hour-and-a-half + (without traffic, one way). My family and I are amazed at your skills and appreciate you taking such artistic and baking expertise and care into making this cake.  This cake creation was memorable, unique, and scrumptious, and left a very personal and touching imprint on my Grandma's special day and for all of us celebrating. Thank you!

Patisserie Angelica created the most breathtaking and delicious wedding cake we could have ever dreamed of. From start to finish, working with Gergana was an absolute pleasure--her professionalism, warmth, and clear passion for her craft truly set her apart. Our cake was a unique and unforgettable creation: almond-based layers filled with brandied apricots, her signature house-made organic blackberry jam, and a luscious apricot buttercream. The flavor combination was exquisite--elegant, perfectly balanced, and completely original. Our guests are still talking about it weeks later! Visually, the cake was a showstopper--graceful, refined, and perfectly suited to our wedding aesthetic. Gergana took the time to understand our vision and translated it into something even more beautiful than we imagined. If you're looking for a wedding cake that tastes as incredible as it looks--and one made with the highest quality ingredients and genuine artistry-- Patisserie Angelica is simply the best. We are so grateful for the love and care she poured into making our big day extra sweet.

Had a lovely tea today with 5 friends. Service was fantastic and the food and teas were amazing. The scones were out of this world, I highly recommend giving this lovely little bakery a try

I was gifted a lovely box of pastries from a friend which was so very sweet of her! I have always wanted to check this little piece of Paris out and was elated to get a taste! The Parisienne was a delightful gluten free almond delight. The cream was so light but yet rich, crunchy exterior but soft interior, so multi-faceted. The chocolate torte was chocolate heaven. The princess cake was royally good. My husband loves pecans, so luckily, I got a bite before he made it disappear. He gave it a rave review! I give them all a rave review and look forward to coming in to this slice of Paris myself. Merci beaucoup!

We went to several cake tasting spots and none of them quite hit the spot. But as soon as I tried the first bite of cake here, I knew this place was the one! The flavors were incredible, the texture was perfect, and every bite was delicious. Highly recommend if you want a beautiful, delicious wedding cake! The cake came out exactly how I hoped :)

I grew up in Sebastopol, yet somehow had never tried the patisserie. Finally met up with a friend there for lunch today, and was so glad I did. I tried the almond croissant and a decaf latte with almond milk. It seemed like more of a coffee with cream than a latte? The milk wasn't steamed like a typical latte--it came in a tiny pitcher on the side--but the coffee itself was quite nice so I was happy. The almond croissant was divine. Flaky and crisp on the outside, soft and gooey and filled with almondy goodness inside. I could have eaten four of them. Will certainly go back again as I saw a lot of tempting pastries in the case. Reminds me of what Village Bakery used to be when I was a kid and we'd pick up fruit turnovers for my school lunch. The ambience is lovely. Cozy and relaxing and the folks who run it seem nice. We got a comfy plush bench with pillows for seating. Even my friend's dachshund was welcome; he curled up and chilled in the corner while we ate and chatted.

Their O.D cookie is THE best cookie known to man. If you are a chocolate lover, do not leave this bakery without getting one of these! It has the most richest chocolate flavor. Outdoor patio seating is very cute as well

Magnificent looking pastries. The toast of Paris confection promised more than it delivered.

I visited Patisserie Angelica on the recommendation of a friend on my way out of town. My biggest regret is that I didn't have a moment to sit down and take in the fun indoor and outdoor space while having some pastries and coffee. The person at the counter confirmed with me that everything is made in-house from seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. My "to go " order consisted of a croissant, almond croissant, pain chocolate, a berry tart and 4 pre-wrapped madeleines. The berry tart was amazing ! Not too sweet and the pastry had a great non-mush texture. I found myself wishing I had more. With regard to the croissant and the almond croissant...for me the almond was better in every way, flavor, crunchy texture, etc. The plain croissant had a mushy slightly chewy exterior which I didn't like and the flavor was just okay. With regard to the pain chocolate, there wasn't enough chocolate...one bite and the rest was a mushy croissant with a hint of chocolate. That said, I think if I had visited closer to when they opened as opposed to near closing...everything would have been better...I understand that all well made pastries have a limited "shelf life". Good pastries but they left me wanting...I need to come back and just go crazy !

First time visiting this establishment and I was taken aback by the lack of transparency on their pricing of items in the baked goods section. As a customer I think not only is it important to label what the items are (which they did have) but also include the price of the item on those labels as well. I saw no menu listing the items and their pricing at all except for the drink/beverage menu. Unless I somehow missed it but I checked around for pricing. I hope this will be something they can improve in order to be more transparent with customers.

we stopped in to see if we could get a sandwich here, but they only had one cheese and ham sandwich which we got. It was on the dry side and if I had known that the Rialto theater had food I would've preferred getting food there. The pastries looked delicious, but we didn't get any. The staff was friendly.

Wonderful food, great service and a beautiful ambiance as well! Angelica made the wedding cake for my daughter's wedding and it was gorgeous and tasty as well. I've had high tea here once before. I am going again next week and highly recommend it.

July 2023 So we had stopped in since we got one of those Sonoma deals for a discount. You'd think that getting up to 100 would be hard but our commitment to carbs and sweets runs deep apparently. We ended up with 3 or 4 boxes I'd say. Service was friendly and helpful with any questions we had, though we really did end up getting a few of each things for most of the case at the front. Everything had good flavors for us tho even we ran into a wall eventually. For the Gluten Free offerings, the brownie was good but the Gateau Parisien was our friends favorite by far out of everything. I really liked the fruit tart and the snickerdoodle. The blueberry scone was nice with a good ratio of blueberries in it.

Visited for a seated high tea experience. Barbara just loves high tea. Having a really expensive one at a very fancy hotel in London a few months ago was the highlight of her vacation. Here a Angelica the price tag was not nearly as breath taking and the ambience was more folksy. The folks here sure are happy, friendly and helpful. You feel really welcome here. The high tea itself is the 3 tiered plates of little finger foods. Some sweet, just a few savory little finger sandwiches. The tea selection is wide, there are 2 dozen available. I chose the green Marco Polo. It was one of the smoothest and delightfully flavorful teas I've drunk in my 71 years on this planet. A very pleasant 45 minute experience and sensible snack. If you or your favorite person enjoys the European high tea experience, this one can satisfy that without suffering the long airline flight to England.

Custom Tahitian Vanilla birthday cake was a disappointment. I ordered cake 1-week ahead for pickup on 12/29 and requested bday greeting for a big milestone bday. While cake greeting was correct, upon getting home - I noticed there was a large Christmas tree on the side of cake! It was 12/29 and Christmas had passed. The cake was very dry and without vanilla flavor; and the buttercream frosting unremarkable. My hunch is they used an older, already made cake and added my greeting. I will be in touch with the Manager tomorrow. While service was very friendly, they appeared unorganized. I really wanted to love their cake!

I used to love this place. We stopped there today for a little dessert. We got a mini German chocolate cake, a mini carrot cake and a cookie. The cakes were super dry and tasted old. They were also 8$ a piece. I would have returned them if I was still in town. I won't be coming back

This place is absolutely amazing! They made my daughter's cake exactly like the inspo pic!, also they made it on shorter notice. I am so happy with the cake! The staff was very friendly as well! I will definitely be back!

This phenomenal French style bakery really made our trip, especially because they had so many gluten free options. Thank you, thank you! We got a gluten free carrot cake, brownie, almond cake, and chocolate devils food cake (all little personal sizes). Jon got himself a lemon tart (not gluten free), and then we proceeded to enjoy eating all of these goodies over the next two days. They were absolutely delicious. Moist, fluffy, creamy, rich... and everything tasted very fresh and real. The bakery itself is also very cozy and feels quite warm and European. I've only been to a handful of patisseries in France, so I'm no expert, but I think the parisians would love Angelica!

Wow wow and more wow. Gergana Karaelov has a very special place tucked behind movie theater.

The Rouge Provence tea (caffeine free) is one of the best teas I've ever had, so so lovely, flavorful and balance. The rouge bourbon vanille was a bit underwhelming and mild in comparison, not worth the price in my opinion unless you like very light flavors. The flourless chocolate cake is absolutely delicious, and a fantastic gluten free option, not too sweet, great texture. The coffee macaroon, however, was very stale and so hard on the inside we could barely bite through it. She did tell us to let it get to room temp before eating it, which we didn't, so that's totally on us, but the top completely cracked/crumbled and fell apart and there was no fluffiness to it at all, just an air pocket with a dry exterior and I don't think that would have changed if we had let it sit out longer. The flavor was overwhelmingly sweet as well. I rarely eat sugar these days so I'm a little biased in that regard, but it tasted more like sugar than coffee. In hindsight, I also think it's odd to buy something at a bakery and to be told to wait until it reaches room temp before eating it. If you're purchasing a buttercream cake then maybe I would understand, but people go to bakeries to buy ready to eat baked goods and I suspect the macaron was not fresh which is why it was being kept cool and ultimately became too hard and stale. I hate writing anything negative, but I saw a few other people mention the same thing so I thought I should confirm that I had the same experience and I just hope the Patisserie listens and make some changes so they get more (happy!) customers!

Very tasty pastries and an amazing tea selection. So glad to see a cafe serving proper high tea!

Wonderful pastries and cakes! I am a baker myself and can tell that these is a lot of love and passion put in their work Would definitely recommend this place!

This tucked away, unassuming gem of a pastry shop still serves exquisite pastries, albeit at fairly high prices now. We got here at around 1 PM and amazingly there were two croissants left! Their offerings range from small,individual pastries to cakes, cookies and top-notch coffee drinks. Wonderfully shaded and relatively private outdoor seating is available most weekdays on their front porch. On weekends, you wanna get here early to snag an outdoor table! Their prize-winning chocolate decadence cake was in on the bottom of the cake section for about $60. If you're looking for a wedding or special event cake, this is the place to come. There is even a private salon in the back where you can peruse extraordinary cakes and tailor them to your specifications. If you have the budget for it, this place will not disappoint!

Love love love this spot! Have tried the mini cakes, cookies, croissants and macaroons and they are all 10/10. The employees are so sweet and it's such a cozy environment!

Still no prices listed anywhere. The small "specialty" cake (coffee and chocolate) was disappointing (dry cake, no real flavor to any of it). However, the fruit tarts were amazing! Only reason I gave this establishment 4 stars. Did not try the coffee. Outside porch looks nice to sit and enjoy the fare.

Beautifully decorated pastries and great coffee . It's worth the extra for such great service.

Just had to mention the hot chocolate at Angelica's. We ran in there before a movie last weekend. I was transported back to Paris - thick, rich, dark. I literally spooned the last of it from the cup. So good!

the place was clean and food looked nice but staff was not well educated about what they were serving and the $8 item i selected was a small cake, it was more buttercream than cake and unfortunately both were underwhelming/ borderline bad. it was difficult to eat as well, the cake was crumbly in a very unpleasant way that made it near impossible to put together a bite on a fork. it didn't seem fresh and didn't deliver on taste.

As you walk into this bakeshop, I was tempted on the variety of small petite cakes on their display, they were beautifully decorated, and very artistic. I tried the coconut passion fruit cream cake. It was light not to sweet, it had small bits of passion fruit and the cream was smooth, it just had a small lite portion of the cake, I would prefer if it had more cake to it compare to the cream. Just disappointed on how pricey for a tiny size cake, it's a size of a small cupcake.

Fabulous across the board and and equally incredible value, considering the talent and quality needed to produce such high art in baked goods! We have been happily sharing every celebration and special moment with this staple of an institution in our little town. Other bakeries come and go but thankfully we have had the pleasure of ordering or picking up impromptu cakes pies cookies jams sauces from Patisserie and they have made our shared memories even sweeter

Gergana made the most beautiful custom cake for my daughter's baby shower. The cake turned out amazing and was very delicious too. Gergana was such a joy to work with. Her kindness and customer service were superb. She really cares for her customers. I highly recommend her

I've gone here twice in the past couple weeks. My family are big fans! We love their tea service. They carry a wide selection of teas. Staff is always friendly and attentive. You can also grab drinks and treats to go. They have an outdoor patio as well. Lots of parking.

The tea service, pastries & ambience are all amazing. Gluten free treats too!! I love it here.

This small-town cute, chic patisserie is a great place to stop by for afternoon tea or baked goods. Patisserie Angelica was recommended to us by another bakery while searching for a birthday cake over the weekend. Luckily they are one of the only few in the area that makes custom cakes for events. When we arrived we realized they served a lot of other pastries and decided to check some out while we were there. I enjoyed the baklava from here. It's a great place to stop by for coffee or tea because the aesthetics of the store. They use beautiful plates and china for their teas/cups. The workers here were very friendly and patient as well. They were kind enough to get a cake together for us within an hour notice.

I bought a gluten free almond cake and was extremely pleased. Great flavor and quite beautiful. It was layered with creamy goodness with a sprinkling of confectioners sugar on top. My guests couldn't say enough. I'll be returning soon. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It's one of the best bakeries with an European style pastries. Love their opera cake but the other are awesome. It's a family business with awesome people and pastries. It is a hidden gem.

Called today to order their tea kits to go as stated on their website: "The SIP (shelter-in-place)Tea Kit - order and enjoy a special tea party at home! Chose a flavorful tea from Mariage Freres Tea from Paris. The petit fours that come with your tea kit include mini versions of some of our most revered desserts. The SIP Tea Kit is priced at $25 and comes boxed for one. Order as many as you like for your tea party Gluten-free also available." Turns out you need 1 day notice so that they can bake their items but nowhere on their website states that! They need to update their website to reflect that!

Located downtown Sebastopol, Patisserie Angelica is a slightly hidden gem on the backside of the local movie theater (Rialto). This review is all about one person and a cake. I reached out and left a voicemail about a cake for my bff's 40th, and Gergana texted me back that evening. We pretty much worked the whole thing out over a series of texts - images of example cakes, the text for the cake, how many to feed (40 ppl), etc. Not only did Gergana deliver, the cake was amazing! She made what I'd asked for - a mix tape sitting on top of it's cassette box, with a little tape hanging out. The cake was lemon flavored, light, soft, fluffy and delicious. If you need a custom cake made, at an extremely reasonable price, Patisserie Angelica is your go-to! Note: I did request this about three weeks out, ahead of a holiday weekend to boot. They are busy with weddings, etc., so try to give them as much notice as possible.

I'm ranking Patisserie Angelica 5 stars across the board on 3 criteria: 1) their baked goods (obviously...so good!!); 2) their catering (they catered my wedding last year and impressed even my food snob friends/family haha); and 3) their afternoon tea service. Sebastopol, we are so lucky to have owners Gergana and Jennifer in our midst. Thank you Patisserie Angelica!!

Superbly Delicious and decent looking... For my 30th birthday I had this wild idea to have a croquembouche in place of a cake. I had reached out to almost every bakery I could find to see if anyone could make me one in time for my party. Upon my research, only two places in Sonoma County offered this delectable treat. One of them was booked out, so Patisserie Angelica was the winner. There was a bit of back and forth phone tag for a bit working out the details. I had to follow up a few times to ensure all ducks in a row. Thankfully they offered delivery (seriously though, I could NOT imagine trying to drive this tower around successfully). Drop off was about 10 -15 minutes late, but I honestly didn't mind as the whole party was running wayyy late anyways. Some of the decorations discussed weren't included, and the Rep mentioned the black fondant didn't come right so she had to forgo. Even though it wasn't the aesthetic I was picturing, the taste was worth it! These little puff balls melted in your mouth, with a burst creme pat that was as silky as could be. It was fun to grab and go and definitely a hit with the family and friends. I'm excited to try more sweets from this shop and have heard nothing but the best recommendations. For now, I'm all Croquembouched out.

Don't recommend the "high tea." $160 for 4 people, which consisted of 2 small scones each (with a pathetically tiny helping of sweet cream, lemon curd and jam), 2 tiny savory pastries, a couple of small sandwich squares, and a trio of tiny dessert samplers. If you ask for more tea, you get lukewarm water added to your spent tea leaves. No new tea given. The service is nonexistent. You have to step into the kitchen every time you need assistance. In no way was this worth $160. This review is specifically for the "high tea." The bakery itself is excellent.

The desserts here are exquisite! The flavors are beyond words in so many of these delicious tasty treats. You will not be disappointed in anything you decide to have here!

Ordered my sister's birthday cake from this cute little bakery and fell in love! It is one of the best cakes I have had. So favorable and yet simple. I was running late for my cake pickup but they were luckily open late for a tasting event. The lady is the sweetest and very accommodating. Will surely stop by during my next visit to Santa Rosa.

Some excellent pastries and good social distancing. I tried some of each flavor of macaroon they had that day, plus the super indulgent gateau parisien, which is also based on macarons but with hazelnut frosting and an almond croissant. The macarons came in some interesting flavors including lavender, salted caramel and meyer lemon. While the macarons themselves were very good - hard shell with a soft interior and just a little chewy - I wish the flavors inside were much more pronounced. The flavors come out at the end, with very sweet vanilla frosting type flavor being what I tasted first and foremost, as other reviewers have mentioned. They are excellent and yet I wish they would turn up the flavor dial quite a lot. I'd love a big punch of lemon or caramel in them, not just a hint of the flavor at the end. The gateau parisien was amazing. Again, perfectly made marcarons and delicious hazlenut frosting covering it plus a nutty outside covering. Very delicious but like the macarons, extremely sweet. I'd be much happier with these wonderful delicious treats if they turned down the sugar content. The croissant wasn't bad with nice frangipan inside and drizzled with chocolate. Not as amazingly flaky as I'd like in a croissant, but I am picky about that and it was still a very delicious croissant. There is easy parking outside and two small tables on the deck that I, as a big guy, would not be comfortable sitting on for long. Inside seating is currently off limits in line with current health orders. They have set up a velvet rope inside so you can keep your distance from the counter but still see everything easily. They also have the place where you put your card in away from the register and a place where they can put your packaged goodies, all of which help to maintain social distancing in a great way. Folks were wearing masks as well, which helped me feel more comfortable. Certainly the best place for authentic patisserie in West Sonoma County and maybe the whole county. If you're looking for a treat to add to a picnic or a meal, these are some of the best baked goods of their kind in the area. I hope they dial back the sweetness, otherwise nothing to complain about and a lot to love.

Absolutely perfect pastisserie, with little desserts to tickle every palette. We got a variety in a box for a little home celebration, and we shared them all so we could taste everything. There was not one that we did not like. It was a special special occasion, the final birthday for a friend who has a terminal illness. Seeing him enjoy every bite meant the world to me. Will definitely indulge here again, with many appreciative memories of my first experience there.

Best valentines cheesecake of all time!! Always wows my loved ones! In the past I have purchased their best in show, this time I'm going in a different direction, but no less decadent!

I love all their beautiful treats. And I especially love some of the staff, specifically a young lady (teen?) with brown hair and a soft voice. Well masked up, so I feel comfortable going into the store. Her service was impeccable. I do have one request for the manager/owner: please give her a hug/pat in the back if she is open to it because I just saw a video when this extremely rude woman with a major vocal fry threatened her with jail for "discrimination" for following your rules, as a private business. This young lady looked so anxious and yet was quiet and polite. Please thank her for me for doing what's right.

Their mini cakes are to die for!! Perfect for sharing with another. I also love the macarons, perfect texture and the filling is not overly sweet. It feels like taking a bite out of Paris! Also the customer service is superb. We had a lot of questions about how things were baked and they answered each one with excitement, you can tell they really love their work. Everyone was so friendly and I appreciate that, it is not easy being in the customer service business especially right now with so many rules and safety measures to follow. But I appreciate business' that are helping keep us all safe & doing what they can to stop the spread

Lovely sweet deserts. Excellent costumer service . We had the most delicious chocolate cake I ever had . Sweet and decadent to perfection. We will definitely be back when visiting town again. Thank you for the sweet memories!!!

The shop is absolutely wonderful. Their baked goods and desserts are over-the-top delicious. The shop is very clean and they are very polite and friendly. I appreciate them wearing masks and asking others to do the same. I'll be back on a regular basis! Yum!!!!!!
