Best chicken sandwich I've ever had! And I told the staff!…read more My mom and I visited this Café and Market over the Memorial Day weekend for the first time. I'd driven past it numerous times on the way to Bodega Bay, but never stopped in. Parking was a bit challenging as there were lots of cars.. If parking was available, you needed to be careful as to not block the car next to you, or to the side of you. Aside from parking, the staff was warm, inviting, and an absolute pleasure. The restaurant appears to have once been an old home. It has comfortable outdoor and indoor seating as well. My mom and I shared the Kale Cesar Salad and Chicken Sandwich. The salad was perfect and the toasted almond on top were a perfect nutty touch. The sandwich was just perfect. The chicken was a perfectly cooked chicken breast. Juicy, not dry, and perfectly seasoned. The baked cheddar chip on the bottom was a pleasant surprise and the homemade focaccia was sinful. You need to try this place. It will change your life just like the people that are in it.

My wife can't stop talking about the Bumblebee Latte, lol. This time I got a dirty chai and it was great. See pics for the Daybreak food we scarfed down right there. When we got to the cafe, they had already sold out of breakfast burritos and croissants, but this seemed to be par for the course at every eatery in Bodega Bay between Christmas and New Year's. It's hard to hold it against them. My wife raved about her Bumblebee Latte and though I like my coffee strong and black, it did look good. We got two breakfast croissant bagels (substituting for the sold out croissants) and they were delicious! Service was excellent and relatively fast, considering they had a non-stop stream of customers. No space inside to eat, but chairs and tables by the parking lot, which was large compared to virtually every other place in Bodega Bay. We didn't eat there, we took our breakfast and drove a hundred yards up the road to the Bodega Dunes Campground which has a lovely day use picnic area (there is an entry fee). Loved everything, but we're going to try to be early enough to score the burritos next time.

Enjoyed my hot vanilla latte in a coffee mug which are all different designs. I had the barekas. The babka roll was not very fresh so that was my only negative. I'll definitely go back.

You will find that amazing vibe in this area and Lightwave Coffee exemplifies a movement that was so much about optimism and love. Interior and exterior are amazing with much of the decoration being made from found objects. I loved all the old electronic and mechanical devices inside and loved the mishmash cups and plates that made it feel like you were eating in a friends kitchen. The food and coffee we got were abnormally high quality and we recommend the cookies and the basil ice lemonade. So good after a long day outdoors. Right next to it is a community farm that felt so welcoming and chill. Volunteers were weeding and cleaning on the weekend and it reminded me the very best of the game Stardew Valley. Right next to it is a concrete skatepark and a guy was shredding it when we went. So worth a stop for all these bonus quests! They also had a "pay what you want" little section of potted plants you can take away such as chilis, tomatoes, etc...

Wild Flour is not simply a bakery. It is one of those rare places that feels like a tiny world unto…read moreitself, a place where the bread, the garden, and the entire experience seem to grow from the same deeply thoughtful philosophy. Even before you reach the counter, the aroma of freshly baked sourdough and warm scones drifts through the air. A long line winding outside, but it feels less like waiting and more like the beginning of a ritual. Once you have your bag of baked goods and a cup of freshly brewed coffee, you wander into the garden, and this is where the experience becomes truly magical. Behind the bakery is a lush, meandering labyrinth of California wildflowers, berry vines, vegetables, and herbs. Raspberry and blackberry branches form leafy arches overhead. Sculptural artichoke plants rise from the earth with their beautiful buds intact. Dinosaur kale peeks out between flowers and shrubs. Unexpected pops of color everywhere you look. The garden feels abundant and slightly untamed, but never accidental. It is the kind of setting that makes you slow down, look more closely, and feel as though you have stumbled into a secret place. Eventually, the path opens into a small rustic seating area with picnic tables and chairs. We sat there surrounded by wildflowers and berry vines, drinking coffee and doing a full scone tasting. It was one of those simple but perfect mornings when all of your senses seem fully awake. CREAM CHEESE RASPBERRY BLACKBERRY SCONE- was extraordinary and easily my favorite. The filling-to-dough ratio was perfect. The scone had a beautifully tender, crumbly texture, with generous pockets of tart berries and whipped cream cheese that tasted almost like crème fraîche. The restraint was what made it so special. The cream cheese had no sugar, it remained rich, tangy, and creamy, allowing the sharpness of the raspberries and blackberries to come through. It was one of the best scones I have ever had. MEYER LEMON, MANGO SCONE - was equally thoughtful and completely unexpected. Meyer lemon zest was folded throughout the dough, so every bite had a delicate citrusy brightness. Small pieces of mango appeared in between, adding just enough tropical sweetness. I would never have instinctively paired Meyer lemon and mango, but the balance was exquisite - floral, tart, fragrant, and gently sweet. This was my daughter's favorite. MAPLE PECAN BLUEBERRY SCONE - was the sweeter option. The blueberries added their deep, jammy richness, plenty of pecans added earthy crunch, while the light maple glaze offered warmth without overwhelming it. It was indulgent, but still beautifully balanced. This is the one I would choose for someone with a sweet tooth. JALAPEÑO CORNMEAL CHEESE SCONE - may have been the most surprising. It tasted like the best parts of skillet cornbread and a classic scone brought together - golden, crisp edges, a delicate, crumbly interior and the natural sweetness of cornmeal. The jalapeño was finely incorporated into the dough, creating a gentle, lingering heat rather than sharp bites of pepper. Little pockets of cheese but honestly I think it would be better without it. It was distinctive, savory, and exceptionally well judged. It would be incredible alongside barbecue or a bowl of chili. ARTICHOKE FETA SCONE - with artichokes growing in their garden this one felt connected to the bakery like the raspberry one, felt farm to table. Generous amounts of salty feta, earthy artichokes and a great crust despite being gf, the bakery shows its adeptness with gf food. CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE - this was vegan and gf and really good. Coconut flavors and great crunch make this a whole different kind of treat. FOUGASSE - ROSEMARY, POTATO, GARLIC, JACK CHEESE. Despite the number of ingredients, the bread retained the excellent structure and chew of a proper sourdough. Every bite revealed something slightly different - a fragrant note of rosemary, a garlicky edge, a soft satisfying piece of potato, or a rich pocket of cheese. FOUGASSE - SHIITAKE, CARAMELIZED ONION, BLEND OF CHEESES - this one what a umami bomb with the shiitake generous all over, the onion overpowered them a bit but with the mild and nutty cheeses, this one is a hit What stayed with me most was the sense of intention behind everything. The bakery does not seem interested in chasing novelty for novelty's sake. The flavor combinations are original because someone has genuinely thought about how tartness, sweetness, richness, texture, and aroma should work together. The ingredients taste fresh and uncompromised. The setting feels like a natural extension of the food - abundant, beautiful, earthy, and quietly extraordinary. An unforgettable little gem, and absolutely worth seeking out.

The restaurant's large windows provide beautiful waterfront views no matter where you're seated. Our waitress (whose name I unfortunately forgot) was fantastic. She mentioned she'd been there for 14 years, which says a lot in itself. She was friendly, knowledgeable about every dish, and gave us excellent recommendations. I know Caesar dressing contains anchovies, but I was hesitant about having actual fish on my salad. I'm so glad she encouraged me to try the cooked anchovies on the side--they were delicious. Perfectly salty and a great complement to the salad. The pork chop entrée was perfection! The pork was cooked beautifully, and the bread pudding side was just as memorable. I'm not entirely sure what was in it, but it reminded me of garlic bread in the best way. The applesauce was also a nice touch. The halibut was cooked perfectly as well, and the mashed potatoes practically melted in your mouth. For sides, the grilled asparagus was exactly what you'd hope for, and the crispy potatoes lived up to their name, perfectly seasoned with a great crunch. The soup of the day was a creamy spring onion soup with crispy pancetta. Although just as delicious as everything else ordered, its the one plate we wished the portion was bigger for the price it was going for. We've eaten at plenty of restaurants, but this may be the first time where every single thing we ordered--from the entrées to the sides and sauces--was a 10/10. Needless to say, this won't be our last visit. It was absolutely worth it and such a memorable part of our anniversary trip to Bodega Bay.

The time between ordering and receiving food was lengthy. It is possible that they were understaffed for a Mothers Day brunch. However, our waitress did check in before food arrived, to let us know the status of our order. Almost everything that we ordered was under $20. This was as opposed to a place like The Flamingo, which was charging $70 *per person* for its Mothers Day brunch. Drakes has a great view, but the most comfortable booth seating is on the wall, farthest from the windows. The tables at the windows are only for 2 (our party was 3).
