Breakfast at the Boulangerie is perfect. We love to go there for a croissant and espresso when we're in town. It's a breakfast staple in Sonoma for us. We've had baked goods and sandwiches there and have always been very happy with everything. Fresh and reasonably priced.

We stopped in for pastries and coffee one morning. The pastries were good quality, and the coffee was excellent. It is a hangout, and has nice, small tables both inside and out. Good for people watching.

AMAZING bakery! We got breakfast and lunch here during our trip. The breakfast sandwiches are good, cheap, and fast for a quick breakfast. The lunches are wonderful for getting to-go and taking with you to a winery. The turkey club is great.

Good place for sandwiches; excellent pastries and breads to take out. More than decent in downtown Sonoma.

Seven days a week there is a line out the door from early morning until late afternoon. This local bakey is a place every local and visitor must enjoy. The selection is wonderful. The staff efficient and friendly. Seating can never accomodate the demand, but in good weather the Plaza picnic tables are just across the street. A Sonoma Institution!

A visit to Sonoma isn't complete without a visit to this cafe. I always thought of the Basque Boulangerie as a bakery, until I started having lunch from their cafe. Their salads and sandwiches are delicious. As good as the lunch items are, the very best items here are their breads. They have a wide variety of different types of... More

Very busy place, with alot of yummy desserts and sandwiches. Food was just okay, could have used more help from staff who werent that friendly, more of just a shuffling people in and out. We could tell it could better but felt a hurry to decide and order and get on to the next customer. Would try it again maybe.

We only had time to stop for coffee and a cookie mid-afternoon, but the selection was excellent and the coffee was delicious. Great stop for a shopping or wine-tasting outing. I highly recommend the oatmeal-walnut chocolate chip or the orange coconut chocolate chip. Next time we're in Sonoma, we'll try it for breakfast.

Great coffee, 3 types to chose from. They could use more seating and could advertise foods on offer better. A printed newspaper type menu instead of the overhead blackboards which can be hard to read.

Sunday afternoon and still a good selection of baked goods to be had. Choose a few things to go and was happy with all. Cookies, tart, pastry item. A bit more than average since it seemed that all items had been made that day but not over the top taste to make it "very good". A place I would return... More
