Stopped on the way out of town to wine country. The location is shared with a Mexican restaurant so if you pull in and it looks like the wrong place- look for the small Barking Dog sign. They had good bakery items for breakfast. The muffins looked good. I chose the cinnamon roll. It was good. The cold brew coffee (or their version of) I think they call it flash brewed or something. It was good and met the morning coffee requirements. Parking is fairly easy in their parking lot. Service was quick and they were very accommodating. read more

Barking Dog Roasters - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Sonoma, California

Came here on a Saturday morning around 9am and majority of the pastries were sold out already. We came here with two dogs and the outdoor patio was perfect. Most of the customers came with their dogs so it was fun to see some of the dogs interacted with each others. I ordered the homemade vanilla bean latte, the mocha and the chocolate croissant. Both drinks were really good and the coffee tasted very smooth. The chocolate croissant was warmed up which made it extra crispy and delicious. read more

Unfortunately for me, NO pour overs at this place. I was hoping to get a nice, freshly ground and brewed cup of coffee, but instead I got a cup of coffee from the coffee carafe. It was good, but not what i wanted. I also got to try the espresso, which is pretty good, and I also tried a croissant, which was pretty good and definitively a good choice. Come here is you want unassuming coffee and want to blend in with the locals. Please do not iron your clothes or put gel on your hair. Just roll out of bed and become one with the crowd. read more

Came here for a quick coffee and snack early morning on Saturday. They take social distancing seriously and only allow 5 people in the store at a time. Two people were working at this time and there was already a line. They have a variety selection of pastries that all were tempting. They have a basic coffee menu as well. You'll have to ask for the pastry to be toasted if you want it that way and even then, it wasn't warm enough. The strawberry croissant was soo delicious even when it was room temp. I ordered it because I never seen it before. It looks super sweet with powdered sugar, but it surprisingly was not. It had great flavor and didn't taste like a dessert. The matcha latte was just ok. Not the best I've had but it had the matcha flavor, at least. I didn't see any of the sandwiches or things that others posted which was confusing and quite disappointing, but maybe they only bring that our during lunch hours. Nonetheless, this place is a great place for convenient coffee and a baked good. read more

Looking for great pastries with a great cup of coffee this place is great! Pastries are always very fresh and tasty. It seems like they only sell them the day of and not old ones. I got a iced caramel latte and it had a great balance of sweetness to coffee. They have now combined with Sonoma eats restaurant and you can buy both things in the same place. They also have the mixology jars ready to just add the alcohol. Prices for coffee and pastries are very reasonable for the area. Will definitely be back for some more yummy pastries. read more

While on a wine tasting vacation and staying in Sonoma I found this great coffee spot. They were very friendly and helpful knowing I was not a regular and from out of town. They didn't rush me and were very patient for my order of 4-8 drinks each day. They are real baristas so they can make any drink and have some great specialties like rose or lavender lattes. I had them make me my favorite mochas and they were great. They also carry delicious pastries they get from a local baker. I got some croissants, chocolate croissant, chocolate almond croissant and muffins. If I lived in Sonoma I would go here everyday. The service was awesome and coffee and pastries delicious! read more

We have been coming here to the restaurant that shares this space and we wanted to try the morning coffee shop. So finally did! The cashier was friendly and took our order and chit chatted with us for a minute. We ordered two red eyes with oat milk. Decent coffee, cute shop and friendly service. We are glad we were able to try it out before we left Sonoma. read more

The iced coffee i got was "okay". The best part was the pastries and cookie , which was fresh. The small parking lot was full, so i parked across the street. The staff was polite, but felt like they would rather be chit chatting than dealing with me. One employee attempted to engage with me after i ordered a few pastries but the engagement offered was over and over on something i interested in. To the point of awkward. Instead of trying to switch the topic to something else she kind of just gave up. Um ok. This place is cool if you are staying at the fairmont or have pets, But I wouldn't see myself coming back here on a regular basis. Not a fan read more

I was in need of caffeine so I stopped by this coffee shop. I got a mocha which was pretty good. They also have pastries here, but there wasn't a large variety when I went because it was later in the day. I liked that they had both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoors seating is nice when its not cold out. Overall it was a good coffee experience. read more

Awesome coffee and awesome breakfast goodies! Stopped in because its walking distance from the Fairmont and love supporting local biz. They open early and had a great selection- also had samples of the macadamia nut cookies out and I could've literally eaten all of them they were so good. Got a large americano with almond milk (they let you add it in) and sf syrups. For breakfast got the meat sandwich (sausage, egg, cheese, croissant) which hit the spot and was huge- 2 sausage patties, 2 eggs, 2 cheese. Was perfect, service was great and people were nice. Price: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Food/Coffee: 9/10 read more

No indoor seating at the moment, but there are picnic benches outside. Stopped in for coffee and pastry and was so pleasantly surprised at how delicious my coffee was! I think it was the fact that every drink comes with a double shot. Service was friendly and quick. read more

Only had beverages, but service is friendly, polite, and quick. Drinks came out quickly as well! Prices are pretty standard for a local coffee shop. There's a nice variety of baked goods as well as coffee beans and merchandise for sale. I got a bag of coffee that benefits a local animals! There's also an outside seating area that's socially distanced and beautiful! My boyfriend and I came two days in a row to get the Mayan mocha- highly recommend! They also have oat milk, which is my favorite. Definitely a solid roaster! read more

Became my morning routine while in Sonoma. Fresh baked goodness every day, kind people, oh and good coffee! Highly recommend!

5 stars for this unpretentious neighborhood coffee shop! Delicious pastries (they do run out fast), good coffee, and most importantly super friendly staff. This place really exemplifies what Sonoma is all about - friendly, chill, cozy vibes, delicious food/ drinks, and wonderful hospitality. The coffee was so delicious we got a bag of beans to go (Moka Java). They have several picnic tables outside. We got to enjoy our morning coffee while soaking in the morning sun. read more

Barking Dog Roasters - nice outdoor picnic tables. glorious morning muffin (delicious) and a bag of beans to-go - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Sonoma, California

This is a great spot to get a really good cup of coffee. I love the way they welcome me in and really make sure my coffee is exactly the way I want it. Feels good to support a small business, looking forward to my next visit. read more

I'm not a flavored coffee drinker and love a good black coffee. Unfortunately there was not an option for a pour over. Didn't seem to care that we were there. While waiting a long time for only an already brewed black coffee, I saw they had bags of roasted beans for sale. The earliest roast date was 3+ months earlier. I won't be back and I really don't think that bothers them. read more

A local Sonoma coffee roaster offering delicious red eye liquid. I had a cappuccino, served in a proper cup, and a Glorous Morning Muffin. The muffin had carrots, apples, coconut, sunflower seeds --- I might be missing something. Delish start to the day. Small outdoor seating area adjacent to their parking lot. read more

Great spot to stop for coffee and a quick pastry. Everyone was really nice, the coffee menu is basic but solid. The pastry collection is pretty awesome, specifically the cinnamon roll. I got the cinnamon and sugar coated cinnamon roll and it may just be the best cinnamon roll I've ever eaten. I really like that their default milk seems to be oat, I say seems because my latte order was met with, "will oat milk be okay for your latte." And yes, yes it is. There are about 5 picnic tables and a few smaller tables outside. It's a great place to start your morning. read more

I don't have the heart to give them 4 stars, which I feel is correct, but only because of the hours, and more correctly the hours thanks to Covid. The close at 1pm, which kills me personally, but I understand. I haven't looked at why this place is 3.5 stars with the public, this I do not understand for the shop it is. The most incredible blue berry muffins and iced danish and great coffee. I guess people are expecting more of a diner or more protein choices, dunno. I just know whenever I go to the area I have to stop and get a latte and a blue berry muffin or other treat. The selection of danish type things are so interesting the hardest thing is making a choice. I hope you support this place, it seams like places like this are on the edge. read more

I always comes here when visiting my friends in Sonoma who live around the corner. I love the food and coffee is really great. They've made some great improvements to the space. The only reason I don't give them a perfect 5 is that sometimes the staff is pretty short, not very friendly. read more

So we just aren't fans. We came here two days in a row. The coffee was ok. Not amazing, but totally fine Everything else, not so much. On Saturday the pumpkin bread was stale. On Sunday we wanted to try the breakfast sandwiches. The woman told me they were out of everything except pastries. But... then they seemed to have one more sandwich... But she didn't know how to ring up the difference between that and my muffin... And seemed annoyed I didn't want both . Then.... Ten minutes later, a guy sat down next to us with a piece of quiche. They just need to get it together, maybe? read more

This is the best coffee. They have great customer service. Their bagged bean selection is delicious. Highly recommend bypass starbucks and go to barking dog read more

Stopped here for lunch today on a whim since I had seen their sign several times driving to and from Sonoma The first thing that struck us was the friendliness of the young work staff It is nice to go into a place where they genuinely seem to appreciate your business The sandwiches were fresh and good They were so accommodating when we asked for something to wrap our leftovers to go Looks like a comfortable place for locals to hangout , drink good coffee and relax Wish I could find a place as welcoming in Santa Rosa where I live We will be back read more

Coffee does the trick. I got a latte and it was too much milk in my opinion. Those in my group who got iced coffees liked their drinks. Someone got a chai tea and did not like it either. They have a full array of pastries and a gluten free egg option. No gluten free pastry but they said they sometimes have those! read more

I've see alot of mixed reviews and had to try for myself! Great location, not too far away from downtown so definitely worth the pre-stop if you can! I was craving chai tea and typed in chai tea near me in Yelp and thought I would make the drive to the Barking Dog Roasters because why not! Arrived on a Saturday morning and heard dogs barking as soon as I pulled in, rather fitting actually! A good amount of parking would recommend aiming for street parking first! A good amount of people for a Saturday morning but not too busy! Let me say I am extremelyyy picky when it comes to chai tea lattes. The barista took the time to explain to me how the chai tea lattes were prepared and how the chai was bought locally. The barista even made a deal with me if I didn't like the chai that I could toss it and order something else on the menu! So I crossed my fingers and long behold one of the best chai tea lattes I have tasted in the Bay Area since living here! As you can imagine customer service was absolutely amazing! I appreciate the commodity comradery of the locals. Atmosphere alone is very welcoming which is much appreciated. I can't wait to come back with friends and enjoy another chai latte or two! read more

Stopped by today for some much needed coffee. It didn't disappoint. Went with the Japanese iced coffee (can't remember exact name) and it was delish! Just like I like my coffee; strong! And the ice cubes are COFFEE ICE CUBE!! amazing! Especially for someone like me that drinks super slowly. The lady that helped us was super nice too! read more

Barking Dog Roasters - Yum. Coffee. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Sonoma, California

BDR is the bomb. Let's start with the coffee. My latte was excellent! I also liked the food here. The croissant egg sandwich was very good. Way above typical coffee shop level. And the scone was even better! Check it out for your morning fix - they have a case full of scones, croissants, muffins and coffee cake. It looks like a refrigerated case, but it's not, so don't be put off by the baked goods being displayed there. I also enjoyed the funky, casual vibe, with masks from around the world lining the walls. Tons of seating inside and out too. Though the primary views are the traffic-filled road and the parking lot, which fills up. Lastly, the clientele demonstrates the finer qualities of this spot. Locals like to meet and hang in the welcoming space. Cyclists find it a convenient spot to rendezvous before embarking upon their rides. And even guests from the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn venture to cross the street and enjoy the offerings. All heed the call of the Barking Dog. read more

Loved coming here every morning during our stay at the Fairmont. Affordable breakfast items and coffee to help start our day. My favorite was the blueberry muffin, and the coffee was strong and flavorful. Dog friendly too - we brought our two dogs here every morning and hung out at the benches. read more

Very chill place with great coffee and outstanding , if pricey, pastries, nice folks working there and a very tolerant and supportive management to folk's individual rights, which I found refreshing. inside is totally emtied out so only seating is out doors. On busy days it can take a while , allow some time , it's worth it. read more

Would highly recommend their coffee and pastries!!! Service is super quick and friendly.

This place is by far the friendliest tastiest coffee spot in Sonoma. The staff welcomes everyone with a friendly greeting and they take time to address any questions you may have regarding the coffee or the type of roast. I highly recommend the Lavender latte! Cheers. read more

Barking Dog Roasters gave me a rude awakening when i pulled into their parking lot. thought i "blew" or "popped" my front tire going over the rough edge (arched, not flat) of the driveway. was .driving slow so didn't happen. eats: didn't see any menus, just pastries, cookies, etc. drill: not sure where to order. no designated ordering area. barristas busy behind coffee apparatus. brew: (m.2.25) mocha java -semibold, smooth, perky drink. drips: -not sure where food listed at, reviews hint at it. -probably no return, parking lot not car friendly, wide turns needed to access, not sharp turns. read more

Their pastries are excellent and the service is very kind and friendly. They toast their coffee on premises every Monday and it's great.

So I'm a bit of a coffee snob, and had formally given up on Sonoma having good coffee. There are a lot of cute cafés around the Square that offer coffee and all of them are fairly agreeable but nothing special... But then a local recommended Barking dog and I figured I had nothing to lose. My cappuccino with oat milk was delicious (4/5)!! The service was 5/5 and the outdoor seating was 5/5. Great Sonoma coffee read more

THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE EVER! I travel all over California and stumbled into barking dog on a whim. Their coffee is great and well worth it. The cookie is so good. I think about it often and have tried to find one that compares. The sweet and salty is the perfect blend. My go to order is a cappuccino and chocolate chip cookie. Bravo! read more

Decided to come to this cafe to get a quick sandwich rather than take out at a restaurant. The service was horrible. It was a weekend but there were only 3? People ahead of us. Apparently there's only one guy who makes sandwiches and he was slammed. We waited 40 minutes for a pesto, tomato, mozzarella sandwich. It was really sad. The two workers outside were talking story and I asked how much longer. The boy checked and said you should be next, I wasn't next and had to wait 10 more minutes. Then when mine was ready the sandwich maker mumbled and didn't yell out he order so I wasn't sure if the sandwich was mine. The two workers continued to talk so I asked them if it was mine. They didn't know and I just opened it to find out it was. This place was not even busy and a simple sandwich took 40 minutes. The two other workers should've helped or forewarn me of the wait in advance.. I wouldn't recommend to come here unless you don't mind waiting for a while. read more
