Best Cake Places in Bodega Bay

"This heladeria or ice cream shop specializes in unique and refreshing ice cream flavors. At any given time you will find a wide variety of seasonal fruit flavors (like blackberry or strawberry) but also unique ones like rice pudding, pinnacle/coconut or snickers. Colores also offers popsicles, milkshakes and shave ice if you feel like something different."

"If a bakery has been open since 1923, as this one has, it has to be doing something right. Just one example of that something is pie, made with wholesome fresh ingredients including pure butter, farm fresh eggs, real vanilla, and unbleached flour. Classic fruit pies are deep-dish 8-inch flaky buttery crust models with seasonal fruits like pumpkin."

"Costeaux is the sweetest French bakery that I love to stop by for brunch (I love their quiche) or afternoon coffee and a treat. They also so boxed lunches, so it’s a perfect spot to pick up a delicious sandwich to enjoy at one of the many Healdsburg tasting rooms that offer outdoor seating for picnics."

"Locals flock to this open-air bistro at lunchtime for the chicken salads, French onion soup, and the artisan breads. We like to order the Cousteau French Dip, with thinly sliced rib eye, Roquefort aioli, and caramelized onions on a classic sourdough roll."

"The place has a small bar area but it stretches to an open section with tables around the pool, and has a huge outdoor patio with a cool decor – the lighting up in the trees. The place delivers really good stuff – fine cocktails, nice bar food, billiards, sports on TVs and live music at weekends. It also hosts private events and organizes some of the greatest parties in the area."

"Whiskey Tip is a fun bar that’s always hosting different events. It’s hard to get bored here, with giant Jenga, a bean bag toss, and even a shuffle board on offer. They have a variety of seating, indoor and outdoor, and have hosted themed evenings such as silent discos and other dance events."

"If you're craving Barcelona tapas like boquerones, creamy chicken croquettes, and local sardines in black olive ink, this fashionable dining room and bar from chef Mark Stark will do you right. Set in a chic cottage, the boisterous spot offers specialties like fried pig ears, a ham-and-cheese bar, and signature gin and tonics such as the Levante of Hayman's Old Tom gin, orange, saffron and cardamom."

"These skinny sandwiches have been a staple on the menu at Bravas Bar de Tapas in Healdsburg since its opening. It’s a traditional Spanish tapas sandwich filled with Spanish ham (jamón), truffle paste and manchego cheese. Served with spicy peppers as a garnish."
