Initially I was looking forward to trying this place out... at first glance it is appealing. However didn't enjoy the ambience very much and coffee tasted terrible.

This cafe is in a lovely setting and very spacious... the breaky menu is tasty and coffee great sometimes. The downfall: The prices! Don't understand why a cup of coffee has to cost so much especially when there are multitude of other good cafes in the area that sell tobys estate and the like for a more reasonable price. Find it disappointing. Also became really annoyed when they had blaring rap music on... I had to leave so I wouldn't get a migraine.

I have been to 3 sonoma cafes... this was the only one that had a vegetarian roll option in the display which was great! The ambience not so pleasant however the staff were friendly. Coffee average.

Not very impressed... was looking forward to enjoying a nice cup of campos espresso which was served lukewarm :( thought I'd give the place another chance, so went back again... this time was served burnt toast and an unpleasant coffee once again... the team are friendly however drinks & food not the best value.

As much as I love coming here to indulge in a divine cup of coffee & enter into a realm of books&reading, the unfriendly service always leaves me frustrated when I exit the cafe... only a few of the staff working here are lovely & helpful... as for the rest, a smile once in a while would be nice.

Lovely menu with unique dishes displayed. A little pricey though. Ambience and general decor is enticing. Food tasted great however coffee was a super big let down. Otherwise a nice place to casually visit for breaky or lunch!

Overall had a nice dinner here one night... cannelloni tastes great, can't say the same about the Greek salad. Alfresco dining was a disappointment... there was no pleasant ambience& not the most comfortable either. The good service provided by a waitress made up for this. I would have enjoyed it more if a young, cocky waiter hadn't ruined it for me at the end when it came to fixing the bill... was indeed disappointing at the very last minute!

Very uniquely designed Japanese restaurant! Food is great especially the tempura. Lots of vegetarian options. Ambience lovely. Slightly overcrowded due to small space. However, great place to dine with friends!
