Society Bakery and Cafe

Sebastopol keeps getting better and better I swear! Phenomenal bakery/cafe everything is made in house and from scratch. The kitchen is tiny but mighty! So much flavor, love and freshness goes into everything they create. Love the atmosphere and total ambiance here!!! The vibe is so relaxing and chill. Thanks for an amazing experience Society Bakery and Cafe! Your staff rocks😎🤘🏼 will 110% be back❤️

The first time I went I was surprised by all the gluten free pastry items and do not go out of my way to buy things that are gluten free. I got the lemon loaf cake and it was the best pastry I’ve had! The next time I went in and I read the sign that it was actually gluten free too and I was astonished. I don’t know how they make it so fluffy and buttery, definitely my favorite item!!! The coffee is great although I wouldn’t say it’s anything super special. Just regular cafe vibes. They even have a rewards program which I was shocked because not all small businesses do that. The atmosphere is amazing!! While the parking lot is a little annoying, once you’re inside there is so much to look at. The jams they sell are also spectacular. I got the blackberry basil jam and it was so unique and very yummy. The staff is also very sweet and kind. I took my brother into the store who has a developmental disability and the lady helping us was so patient and kind. She asked him if he liked the drink and was very sweet to us. I will definitely be coming back again and again.

I’ve been going to this adorable shop for several years now. It was one of my favorite lunch spots when I worked close by. The sandwiches are excellent and the pastries are delicious. The staff there is always fabulous and goes the extra mile. Highly recommend this spot

wow first time here. We decided to have a BLT and that was the best sandwich ever. From the bread, veggie and especially the BACON. We will drive back up here to eat another. Everyone super nice and lots of varieties especially the deserts. Thank you!

This bakery truly exceeded all expectations! I ordered two cakes just a week before a surprise party, sharing some photos as inspiration, and they absolutely delivered. The cakes looked incredible, capturing every detail perfectly. And the taste? Unbelievable! It was some of the best cake I’ve ever had, with rich, flavorful frosting that was simply delicious. This place made our celebration extra special with their amazing work!

Amazing GF bakery! Probably the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting. The gf pumpkin cheesecake roll was to die for! OMG! I might have dreams about it. Then it was a toss up between the gf hummingbird cake (tastes like banana bread) and the gf earl grey/lavender cake. I tried the gf buttermilk lemon loaf too, my fiancé enjoyed it. As a person who misses baked sweets, this place was absolutely heaven. Also, the ladies who work here are so nice and they even let us taste test a few items before buying. If you are in the area, stop here, it’s soooooooo worth it.

Really baffled at how this place has a 4.9 rating. The food options are pretty basic, nothing you can't make easily at home and nothing special about them. While waiting for our food, I frequently heard a microwave open, closing, dinging, etc. There is a good variety of baked goods if you're gluten free by choice but not if you have celiac as they have a small kitchen and non-GF options so cross contamination is definitely occurring. Since there is no disclosure about what is being used in place of wheat flour, I opted for a cookie. Which was good but surprisingly soft. Coffee was gross. Regular coffee was very weak. Espresso was very bitter. Grossly over extracted. A double shot (roughly 3-4oz) took up roughly half of a 12 ounce cup. Thus my general rule of "if the cappuccino is offered with sizes, the coffee is going to be bad" continues to be true

Soooo good! Hard to find gluten free pastries, and if you do, they're generally second rate. This place is at least 50% gluten free, and they're amazing! Fluffy and wonderful texture. The apple coffee cake was gone before I knew it. The pumpkin cake and lemon cake were heavenly. Loved everything.
