    Delicious food (choc cookie and pizza bagel) and delicious White Mocha! I love how there is so much rooms for you to remote work, hold a little meeting, or just hang out to eat. Or order ahead!Me and my 7 year old loved it! Friendly staff and they do try their best to be quick.

    Have been wanting to check out the coffee here for a while and was able to make it happen. Located tucked away in a business park, it is a little random location in my option but worth it. My go-to vanilla latte is a good way to judge a new coffee shop (since it's so basic to make) and they nailed it. It had the perfect blend of vanilla flavoring but was able to taste the quality of the espresso. Kinda cool to ask how many pumps of flavoring I wanted instead of just a standard amount so if you wanted to make sweeter; they are accommodating. Drink came out quickly even with 3 orders before me. Very spacious inside seating with lots of communal tables to catch up with a group or do work. Decent size outdoor patio that's covered. Lots of drink options, including summer specials and food choices like avocado toast and sweet treats. Can't wait to come back!

    I had coffee, breakfast, and a catch up with Taylor at Central Coffee. The location is kind of random (a business park area), but they have a substantial menu with something for everyone. I had the iced vanilla latte. It was a solid latte. Taylor had the iced tea with honey cold foam which was excellent. The honey cold foam was almost like a dessert. We both had avocado toasts. I had the one with pickled onions, and they loaded it up with those onions. The toast wasn't too hard, and we were able to pick it up rather than have to use a fork and knife. i liked the scone is got from here as well. i love a scone. There is lots of seating and even an outdoor area as well. The service was friendly and attentive.

    My family goes to the church next door and the church owns central, and so we go here often, the food is really good and is just a perfect start to the day, on weekdays the place is half full and the service is fast because of the amount of people in the shop, but on the front entrance, it says its closed on Sunday's, technically yes but it open to the people at the church, and it is packed by 11. The mood of the place is nice and gives calm vibes, and if you what a calm start to your day, just pull up to central coffee.

    Central coffee what a cute little spot . It's in the business park of north Dutton. What an amazing location as well. You don't have to fight the standard tight parking in Santa Rosa. There's a ton of free parking, which anybody knows is important because most places go downtown you have to use a meter if you can find one.. this place is spacious with a lot of work tables and outlets. The aesthetic is so adorable warm and like home. . The menu board is adorable. I was greeted by one of the ladies and she was so sweet. I said I was in town visiting friends and I wanted to get some work done before they came and she said to stay as long as I'd like and really made me feel welcome. I'm trying the honey latte and the cinnamon roll.

    Great place to study or have a coffee date. Their coffee and pastries are delicious and averagely priced. It's very spacious here. Lots of natural lighting, tables, and can generally find an outlet if you're sitting near the walls. WiFi is great, bathroom is clean. Checks off all the things I look for in a coffee shop to study/do work. There is also outdoor seating. Service was also quick and you return your tableware in a bucket by the entrance. Will be back!

    This place is a hidden gem!! Went to a coffee date with my friend and was pleasantly surprised!! It's a really nice big space with outdoor seating as well! The inside is cozy and warm/welcoming, I feel like I could stay there all morning! They have yummy drink options and food options. I got a spring menu drink, the iced honey sea salt latte and it was AMAZING!! Also got the caprese avocado toast and it was absolutely delicious! Perfect! The pastries looked good and service was quick and friendly. Can't wait to go back and try more stuff off the menu!!!!!

    Clumpy matcha latte

    Actually dropped by Central Coffee a lil over a week ago on my quest for good matcha in the city! I'll start with some positives! Love the space of the cafe and its location is great for the decent ample parking. Outdoor seating in front of the entrance is very much a backyard patio vibe and it's nice and spacious inside. Service was fine too and it seems all the cafe baristas work well and fast even when there's a rush. Noise level is good so anyone looking for a study spot or a place to catch up with a friend will appreciate that! My only gripe is that I think their matcha latte isn't that great. Not sure what they use and how they prepare it but by the end of my drink, I could see clumps meaning maybe they didn't sift the powder and whisk it enough to avoid that grittiness. I can't attest to their espresso drinks but maybe I'll give them another shot if I feel like a seasonal drink!

    Super clean inviting atmosphere. We had a cortado (not on the menu), mocha with raspberry cold foam and a cinnamon roll. Everything was tasty. Staff were very friendly and service was fast.

    Avocado Toast

    A great place to unwind and meet with friends. The Service is excellent. The avocado toast and cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting are out of this world. The vibe is relaxed and very communal. A happy place with a good mission.

    10/10 loved this place and will be returning. Wish I knew about it sooner! They just...get it. You have to visit to see for yourself. It's a perfect neighborhood-coffee-shop energy--welcoming, unpretentious, and quietly cool. The space is clean with a mix of locals popping in for their daily ritual and people lingering with laptops or catching up with friends...or dates? The coffee is consistently excellent--smooth, well-balanced, and clearly made by people who care about what they're doing. Whether you're grabbing a quick drip or settling in with a latte, it's the kind of place where quality never feels fussy. Their pastries and small bites are a solid bonus (avo toast selection, yes, thank you). What really makes Central stand out, though, is the vibe. The staff is genuinely friendly, not performative, and the whole place feels like a calm exhale in the middle of the day. It's ideal for a solo reset, a casual meeting, or a low-key hang. If you're looking for a go-to coffee spot in Santa Rosa that feels both reliable and special, this is my new fav.

    Friendly service and good matcha! I was looking for a cafe to study in and Central Coffee had everything I needed. The space has plenty of seating (though it filled up almost completely while I was there), tasty matcha, free Wi-Fi, and outlets (along some of the walls). I will note that their matcha does not come very sweet, but after adding some honey, it was exactly to my liking.

    What a cute spot! I've passed by here several times and never noticed it was a coffee shop! The inside was super nice and clean! Plenty of seating! And outdoor seating which was a plus! Actual matcha was pretty good, had minimal sweetness to it but I just added some sugar and it was fine! Next time I'll try their coffee! I also got a bagel which was nice and toasty. Service was good! Everyone here was very nice! The white mocha was decent as well!

They have lots of options for food and drinks, but I just came in for some pastries and tea. The service was good and very helpful. I wanted to try the gluten free scone, because I'd heard good things about it. Plus, I had to try the Gateaux Basque, even though gluten is not always good for me. The scone was very good, especially with a cup of tea. I ordered the Love Tea, which is really worth pairing with pastries. It has a lot of warming flavors like cinnamon and cacao. The real star here was the Gateaux Basque. A soft cookie-like dough forms the crust while the center has a vanilla custard and a cherry jam of sorts. It has one of the most pleasing textures and flavors I've had in a cake. It is worth coming here just for this, although I will have to come back and try some of their other foods. I would also note that while the quiche looks really good I couldn't justify paying $15 for a slice of it. I realize it comes with a little side salad, but when I asked if I could get it without the salad they said they couldn't charge me less for it. Oh well. Marla SR is a great addition to this neighborhood! Come check them out!

I was not impressed by the Coffey but would go again and again and again for the crebble. Personally, I prefer taking things to go as the space can feel a little bit crowded.

It's got bar seating too! There's also some board games if you want something to play with friends over drinks. Ordered a 12oz matcha latte with almond milk ($7) and opted to have it unsweetened. Overall smooth but not too strong, and a tiny bit sweet probably from whatever almond milk they use! I like mine a bit stronger and it's not the best I've had but decent! "For here" mugs are always a plus in my book too. Brew is unique that it doubles as a cozy bar too once the late afternoon rolls around. They've got interesting events happening throughout the month posted on their sign. Some of their food and pastries are sourced from local Red Bird Bakery and Village Bakery too if you're hungry! Parking might suck, you could find street parking maybe on 8th St or if you're early you could park by the meters for free before 9AM. There's a $1/hr parking garage right nearby but if there's nothing, best to park at SR Plaza for free and make the 5min walk over. I really like the vibes of Brew and wanna come back for a happy hour one day! It's nice to see a very queer friendly cafe/bar rolled into one!

My water ran out about 10 minutes into battling the Sahara schnitzel and was never refilled--which felt especially cruel considering that entrée required its own hydration plan.
