Best French Bakery in Bodega Bay

"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."

"Flying Goat Coffee Express is another one of the best options for all you coffee lovers. The selection of lattes, teas, espresso and pastries is sure to satisfy!. The cafe is located next to the roastery and production facility which means the freshness of the beans are out of this world."

"Healdsburg locals are as obsessive about coffee as they are about wine. One hot stop for a cup of joe is FGC, where the town-favorite Optimist...Read More"

"In a town that takes its food seriously, Flying Goat is no exception: the coffee is strong, the staff knowledgeable, and the atmosphere stark."

"This was our third time staying at the Vintner’s Resort, and first time in one of the new buildings. I can’t decide which I like better. The resort’s buildings are arranged to resemble a Tuscan village. The original section of the resort oozes charm, with ivy covering the walls of the buildings. The newer section has a more contemporary feel with more contemporary furnishings. You can’t go wrong with either, but I think I prefer the newer buildings (numbered 800 & 900) because of the bathroom. It is stunning. A spacious walk in shower. Double vanity. And separate water closet. We always book a king bed with fireplace. This type of room means you will be on the second floor and will have a small balcony. We had coffee on our balcony every morning and enjoyed the quiet sunrise and vineyard view. It was exactly why we were visiting the wine country . . . . such an ambiance. The Vintner’s Resort is owned by the same family that owns Ferrari Carano winery. If you have visited the winery, you know they know how to bring the charm and elegance. A welcome bottle of their wine is provided in each room. It is complimentary, along with water and soft drinks. Take a glass of the wine with you and wonder though the resort’s vineyard for a pleasant walk. The resort takes COVID precautions seriously. The bathrobes are sealed in plastic, as are the ironing board and iron. Housekeeping does not come into your room during your stay unless you call and request something. If service is requested, housekeeping will come only when you are out of the room, for contactless service/delivery. The resort is pricey. But, ooohh, those extra fluffy towels and soft bed are worth it. Be sure to look for specials or email the resort and inquire, because with COVID, entertainment restrictions and the fires, occupancy is down and they are offering some fantastic deals. The spa is closed until restrictions are relaxed by the county, so we missed out on services, but we look forward to returning to enjoy the spa, and some more of this beautiful resort’s hospitality. ""The Vintners Inn (now called Vintners Resort) is an oasis just north of Santa Rosa near the heart of Sonoma County wine country. Conveniently located immediately off of Highway 101 but you would not know it was so close because of their expertly designed landscaping and their somewhat European, separately placed one- or two-level buildings. Lots to see and do here. Someone put a lot of thought into the layout. Very relaxing place to stay for several nights. They recently expanded the Inn with a spectacular spa which probably prompted them to change the name to a “resort”. Rather pricey, but worth the splurge for special occasions. We’ve been there over a half dozen times and will return.""We stayed at the Vintner's Inn by mistake - and couldn't have been happier! The rooms were lovely - ask for one overlooking the fountains. There was even a small room with tea all day long where we played cards in the evening and a fireplace (It rained the whole time we were there so the warmth was welcome.)The front desk staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The food in all the restaurants was outstanding. We will go back in warm weather to experience the rest of the amenities!"

"Cozy, intimate, and relaxing, this little hotel in the middle of a vineyard provides the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With a luxury spa, iconic restaurant, and over 92 acres of lush landscape and rolling vineyards, the full Wine Country experience is available without even leaving the grounds. John Ash & Co.—one of the first Sonoma County restaurants to introduce the concept of cooking seasonally with fresh, local foods and produce—provides five-star dining that pairs well with the wines from the region."

"Trip Advisor reviewers have named Vintners Resort as the number one hotel in Santa Rosa. Reading through the reviews, it’s not hard to see where the attraction lies. One past guest describes it as a ‘quiet, beautiful oasis’ while almost everyone has only positive things to say about the hospitality, the amenities, and the location."

"OK, we almost lost our minds when we discovered this place: only in Healdsburg would you find a pie bar that makes crust from old-world grains like bolero, faro, and buckwheat, and pairs them with mind-blowing, homemade artisanal ice cream flavors like pumpkin chocolate and corn flake crown maple. The staff especially recommends the following pairings: spiced apple pie with salted caramel ice cream, lemon custard pie with lemon lavender ice cream, or the maple chocolate walnut pie with organic vanilla bean ice cream. We're here for all of them."

"Within the massive food hall is SHED Café, Coffee Bar, and Fermentation Bar. Here, you can have a pastry to go or order a plate of breakfast to enjoy inside the premises. As you will be tasting wine all day (as you do in the wine country) order lunch for takeout as many wineries allow you to enjoy an outdoor picnic."

"Noble Folk Pie located in Healdsburg is a place you need to visit!. As one of the best bakeries in Healdsburg Noble Folk has an array of tasty pies, cupcakes, cookies and local ice cream. You can also bring Noble Folk to you!"

"The Healdsburg Bakery and Creamery has been a Healdsburg staple since 1987. The bakery is definitely one of the best in Healdsburg because of the carefully crafted baked goods and treats. With an emphasis on using organic and local products, the Healdsburg Bakery and Creamery is the place for fresh eats."

"This small town bakery has a lot to offer—breads and pastries, good coffee, and of course ice cream. They use locally sourced and seasonal ingredients for a variety of delicious flavors. Stop on in next time you’re in downtown Healdsburg."

"9:00 am – For breakfast, hit up Downtown Bakery & Creamery. A Healdsburg institution. The fresh breads, pastries and new cafe menu of pancakes and eggs will set a terrific tone for the last half day of the trip."

"Was wandering downtown an got one of the best coffees I'd ever had!. Lovely atmosphere inside and a little library. 10/10 I reccomend More reviews"

"There was a bit of a wait, understandable because of the holiday. Over all the employees were very friendly and courteous."

"Right at closing time on a Saturday evening, we were warmly greeted and received wonderful service!. A popular and convenient spot for those using the Tes..."

"I know you may think that a visit to a winery is not very kid friendly, but La Crema at Saralee’s Vineyard is super family friendly and takes care of both the mommas, papas and kiddos in one go!. Apart from La Crema’s traditional wine tasting options throughout their stunning converted barn, they also offer one of the most unique tasting options I have seen. The ‘Vineyard Safari’ tour at La Crema is a super fun addition to their tasting menu, perfect for the entire family."

"With it's classy ambiance, Charlie Palmer's Dry Creek Kitchen is fancy indeed, a special night out sort of restaurant. Palmer is the Michelin star chef responsible for 14 top notch eateries and Dry Creek Kitchen inside the Hotel Healdsburg is elegant and refined, with surprisingly decent portions. What's Good: Monday -Thursday opt for the Sonoma Neighbor menu, a fixed price ($36) three course meal, add wine pairings for $18, or go large with five courses ($79), add wine pairings for $48."

", a contemporary fine-dining establishment in a stunning, historic hotel. The restaurant is especially popular in. , likely due to its famous parentage."
